Because Python is widely used on the backend?

Sitting here deeply regretting my home full of Google home devices. Sand tastes bad man.

> they still have aws compatibility as their fail over/backup Now you're maintaining two tiers. That's more work, not less.

Because the amount of time your engineers will spend maintaining your little herd of pet servers, and the opportunity cost of not being able to spin up manged service X to try an experiment, are not measurable.

Right. Now what's the developer man-hour cost of the move? Unless their product is pretty static and not seeing much development, they're probably in the negative.

If you force yourself to do something that sucks for long enough, you start to at-minimum get used to it, and at-best you start to need it.

The former is for throughput, the latter is for latency.

The good thing is that while getting started sucks, if you're consistent with it you can train your mind to seek out and crave long term goal progress and completion in the same way you can train your body. Just don't forget to be

A cell phone from 2 decades ago is an entirely different product from a cell phone today. That needs to be accounted for.

Your first paragraph argues against itself. If the Fed expanded the money supply for over a decade with little to no inflation as a result until the world saw an unprecedented global pandemic that implies maybe what the fed was doing wasn&#

What bothers me is when I Google "Pepsi" and item #1 is a Pepsi ad, item #2 is Pepsi's website. It's obvious what I wanted, neither I nor Pepsi are happy about that ad being there...

>Do you really believe that businesses priced their products low until the business press started reporting on inflation and then realized “oh man, I should raise my prices!”? Absolutely yes. They had an excuse they thought their custome

Which columnar databases are doing the above in-memory?

> We had to add on hacks like setting the request timeout to 5ms and keeping the cluster warm by submitting a no-op query every 500ms to keep it even remotely stable. This sounds like you're blaming dynamo for you/your stack&#x

I'm not commenting on the morality, only the legality.

I don't think anyone is (legally) going to prop up a business or non-profit using data that was admittedly taken from them using their security holes.
79.
by RhodesianHunter 3y ago
For real. Openly bragging about exploiting security flaws to scrape out data en-masse, which undoubtedly put massive strain on back-end systems, is a far cry from what is considered legal (politely scraping public information).

Money laundering isn't about getting money into the system, it's about making it look like it comes from sources that aren't illegal. If entity A can set up hundreds of fake twitch accounts, all of which tip entity B from A&#

They're selling your Microsoft Teams number (which they only could have acquired from Microsoft), so I have no doubt.

A sales tax is always regressive, no matter how you tier it. Poor people spend 100% of their income/net worth monthly. The ultra wealth spend something like 0.00000000000001%.

What's the risk of collisions with your external ID in this scenario?

by RhodesianHunter 3y ago
This sounds like a completely arbitrarily invented argument against a technology that's perfectly useful in many scenarios.

Why not use snowflake IDs?

I have to imagine the availability of replacement parts and skilled mechanics are contributing factors.

Everyone knows it's more expensive, because no one factors in the shared cost of the alternatives. What does our existence cost, when shared across 8 billion people?

I have come to believe (after grilling spam callers on how they got my work Teams number) that Microsoft is selling corporate Microsoft Teams phone numbers via LinkedIn.

15 years of working on SaaS products and a "how I would build it" guess. So basically exactly what you're doing.
