To be fair, systems like Flocksafety really help departments being squeezed for funding. It's one of the ways the system is sold. It's an effective tool.

I'll have to look into that. We heavily bias towards AWS offered managed services. We have a massive enterprise support contract and we use it. We're almost always going to look for something AWS can provide directly as long as it

Yup. I plugged the numbers in just to check it out and for our very busy service, the storage costs eat up the savings from the reduced GET and PUT pricing. For us, express is still 8x more expensive. We're pursuing Fsx NetApp ONTAP to

I also find it hard to understand the naming scheme. To anybody who follows closely, I'm sure it makes sense. For someone out of the loop. No clue.

Fun fact. My uncle is a professor of geosciences and goes on expeditions to drill these cores in Antarctica, analyzing their gas contents back at the university. When we'd visit my uncle and his family. My Dad and uncle would commonly

This has it's benefits. Helps smooth demand. Really sucks for anybody expecting their meal/item to be a specific price, then you arrive and it isn't. I understand this may be a point to drive people towards ordering on an app

On its face it sounds silly, until you get experience with wind surfing. It's using the same concept. Figure 8s generate the pulling force. When you stop the figure 8s, and change the angle of the kite, you get minimal pulling force.

Subsidies are a real problem, the installers are jacking up the prices, instead of the real subsidies being passed to the consumer. Same thing happened with EV subsidies. You have Kia dealers marking up by exactly the amount the tax credit

A ducted air-source heat-pump shouldn't cost more than 10% on top of a regular AC system. In my case, the heat pump was the same price as the AC only system. Paid about $8k for a new 1.5ton Lennox condenser and furnace on a townhome. O

Right. I'm not putting a $1500 catalytic converter on my $1800 prius. Just to have it stolen again.

This is pretty easy to figure out by looking at grid energy use. I think a lot of producers make that public info. Not sure there was much impact.

If you get a SDR, you can watch the interference and try things to help reduce it. An SDR should be like $20 and you plug it into a computer

Also grew up listening with my parents. I'm pretty sure their show is one of the reasons I pursued automotive repair as a hobby.

I have a room & board next to my office and decided to check it out since they were having a 50% off showroom pieces sale. I was shocked to find a decent looking couch for $8,000. $600 lamps. Cheapest end tables at $1500 and $1200 rugs.

Apple devices seem to handle resources much more efficiently. Especially the m1/m2 units. Got my mom an entry level air 7 years ago. It's still super fast, even on the latest supported MacOS. If you need large amounts of memory, p

Isn't road damage also dependent on the road design? To handle higher loads, I think the underlying materials are supposed to be thicker. Like the base sand and gravel under asphalt pavement. There is a road here in Atlanta that gets t

I do as much work as possible on my cars, it’s the only reason I would consider a Mercedes really. It will be interesting to see how this plays out because Mercedes provides access to the same workshop manuals a dealer has via a subscriptio

You can query the spot pricing api and see what’s going on with that. I have a feeling Amazon purposely tries not to hang their customers out to dry by consuming large amounts of spot instances, or on-demand tanking spot availability.

We have a chain of stores here, Alidi and Lidl, that require a US quarter to get a cart. Surprisingly effective, and also funny that walking your cart all the way back to the store is worth the 25 cents, but walking 15 steps to a cart retur

Yup, and if it does end up being shit. They take it back no questions asked. Afaik, this may not always apply since people have been known to abuse the policies. You still hear of people returning dirty mattresses years later on reddit thou

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Go to New Zealand and check out how they operate over there. A world of difference. The nature preserves are pristine. Being an island, waste is expensive. Their culture seems to embody self-sufficiency and conse

From personal experience, when the expectation is that you pack it in, and pack it out. You bring less, waste less, and more consciously collect your litter. For likely a number of reasons not explored in depth in the article, it reduced th
