Yes, but then you wouldn’t use S3 for that either so the price comparisons are misleading.

The catch is always in the fine print. The storage is cheap but the savings go away if you actually do anything with the data. Storage is a foundational service in the cloud. There are huge advantages to having that storage sit adjacent to

Azure AD instability has been a big pain point for us for a while. We’ve had more of these outages than I care to remember. One the one hand the ability to have one central auth between on-prem and other services is great but every time thi

I have mixed feelings about unions. While there’s no question that unions played an important role in labor rights during the 20th century, in the 21st century unions now seems to be more a part of the problem rather than a part of the solu

I think we’re mostly saying the same thing. The end objective is to get the levels of COVID-19 down to as low as practical as quickly as practical with a population that has a high degree of immunity against current variants. If people are

Data is very encouraging. Presently this battle is essentially a race between the current vaccines (which data indicates are very effective against current strains) and eventual variants that will make the current vaccines less effective (o

It’s a standard thing in aviation. The companies that make “airplanes” are usually not the ones that make airplane engines that go on those planes. For big airliners the engine makers are GE, Rolls Royce and Pratt and Whitney. Same concept

Technically they’re grounding the Pratt & Whitney engine model that happens to be attached to their aircraft. When one buys a big jet you pick out what engine you want to buy and slap onto it. It’s a particular engine they’re concerned

Yes, hence why I said the press will focus on this because of parts raining down. An airliner having an engine issue and returning single engine though is a routine thing... usually without missing parts.

It’s designed to fly with only one engine. Not with great performance, but it will stay in the air. Routine procedure for twin engine aircraft.

The press will make a big deal out of this because of the spectacle of parts falling on people’s lawns... but other than that this looks like a fairly routine engine out situation. Nice job by the crew.

You bring up an interesting angle which is that the title inflation thing in the US now has secondary and tertiary implications. Optometrists call themselves “doctors” as do chiropractors and others. Increasingly it seems medical facilities

Both the medical and legal professions engaged in “degree inflation” when awarding “doctorates” for degrees that don’t meet the academic qualifications for a traditional doctorate degree. The medical profession took it further and wanted to

Not a surprise. Blockchain is an interesting concept but a terrible solution for most problems that people pitch it for. IBM feeds off executives that hear buzzwords but don’t understand the fundamentals to make sound decisions. They tried

The comparisons between GCP and AWS are sobering. AWS booked $13.5 billion operating income on $45.4 billion revenue and is growing at 30% YoY. GCP lost $5.6 billion on $13 billion in revenue. It’s growing a bit faster but not much consider

Elastic really shot themselves in the foot here. AWS is calling them out as they deserve too and now AWS is going to run with a true open source codebase moving forward. Ironic considering the, generally baseless, accusations that AWS just

by JCM9 6y ago
Elastic’s arguments are problematic considering the history of the codebase. They didn’t invent “elasticsearch” from scratch, rather they took someone else’s codebase (Lucene) and made it better. Fundamentally that’s what AWS did too... the
