"Owning Tesla outside of Warranty is worse than owning Benz outside warranty." What a terrifying statement! I owned an AMG Benz for about 3 years and it was nerve racking towards the end. Glad I kept it in good shape and nothing b

I came here to make this point, but you made it better than I would have. The Carr fire started in a similar way. A blow out on a trailer tire, and the sparks from the wheel hitting the asphalt started the whole thing. One of the large fire

The z1d.6xlarge is a great match for what I was just searching for... I'm looking for a spot to park my 16 core 192gb SQL Servers, which have licensing for exactly 16 cores. I was looking at the 32 core, 244gb r4.8xlarge instances and

Ha, funny they ask about August 12th. I'll be running a four team friendly tournament for my middle daughter's fast pitch softball team. Three kids here. It's tough, sure. Not for everyone? You can say that too. Rewarding? Th

Apparently I had twins in 2013, as I'm not giving up my 2013 MBP in the same way that I'm not giving up my son. Can I please buy a 15" macbook without the touch bar? Thanks!

A little of both. I do the minimum number of full time hours to get insurance benefits, and then I have a part time job at another tech company. Both of those things are very rare. It took me some time to work things out between the two ent

I left the bay area in 2013 when my third kid was born. I'm about 110 miles north now. I expected that as I withdrew from long office hours, replacing it with remote work, my income stagnate (or go down). The opposite happened - my inc

North of $12,000 and you'll own a car. The no-car-movement is great for cities and people with lots of patience. You'll never, ever take Land Cruisers away from me.

You don't want to log access requests to your web servers based on IP? I disagree with you at pretty much the lowest, most fundamental level.

You know how stoplights are in tune with emergency vehicle flashing lights? I think the auto pilot systems need to get more in tune with those systems as well. An alert needs to fire when it detects an emergency. I've heard of people n

I'm going to throw out an impossible solution to this problem. It's impossible because it's very un-Apple. Let the user choose their own fate. I know, I know, that's crazy talk, right? If given the option on my old iPhon

I visited this cave a few times growing up. The neatest thing about the cave is after the section where you can squeeze through (if dressed appropriately and you want to) a tiny opening, in the large cavern beyond there is a tree stump in t

Every few months/years I'm reminded that a dozens to a few hundred people are responsible for routing packets across the entire internet. One typo could affect millions.

I have a tween/teen, but I don't let her use apps like this. Have you taken a look at it? Maybe I'm turning into an uptight old man, but it's not a good idea, knowing what I do about the internet.

I'm doing project in a similar vein right now, but in a totally different space. We call it the "Spotify model" where you host your stuff intermixed with ours, with the option to query just ours or just yours. Good times - ha

AWS is totally for newbies, so long as you aren't afraid of performing sysadmin work. You don't need to have some zany serverless infrastructure. The overhead in setting it up isn't worth the trouble.

It's my (incorrect?) assumption that going from a 6 to a 6s would buy me another year worth of acceptable iOS speed. My best option may be to deal with the performance and get my 6+ refreshed by Apple. Thinking about it, I haven't

Either the X isn't expensive enough or the 8 isn't cheap enough. For me, a 128GB 6+ user, the 64gb storage option doesn't work. My options are: $950 256gb 8+ $1150 256gb X $200 isn't enough of a difference when the cost

I'm in the same boat - I have a 6+ 128gb and it's starting to lag with the most recent iOS. Apple is just going to do Apple things and intentionally slow it down. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I was thinking of

Hopefully it can emulate the Surface Dial. I don't think we need two competing dial interfaces for each app. For those that haven't seen it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/accessories/surfac
