In this case you're probably right but in general, latency can make a big impact on profit and revenue. For example Marissa Mayer claimed (though this was in 2006) that a 500ms delay directly caused a 20% drop in traffic and revenu

It's not necessarily false. The quote you took seems to be referring to the homeless in California. The Giving Pledge requires that the money be given to philanthropy, which may improve the lives of others around the world, rather than

I'm a fan of Matrix (matrix.im). Encrypted (recently), federated, multi device, multi platform, has message history, voice, attachments and push notifications. Pretty much everything I've wanted.

Interesting that your site doesn't work at all without allowing third party scripts. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before, hosting the entire page on another domain.

I don't think this has anything to do with non-free blobs. They knew exactly what it did and they installed it anyway. It wouldn't have mattered if they had the source or the rootkit was open.

For me it's pretty much all package management: - I like that all the packaging stuff is done by a single command (yum, or more recently dnf). - I find RHEL derivatives' packaging conventions easier to deal with than Debian deriva

In my case (WF-7610) I couldn't even get it to boot so I had to power down my wifi router entirely but the rest of the workaround worked.

In my experience the alternative firmwares were worse. I ended up contacting TP-Link support and they were actually quite helpful though. They sent me a beta firmware that's mostly resolved the issues. I don't know if it's be

Ah, I see. Since the article was about sugar I assumed that was what you were referring to. It does seem like they're trying to help though. They could choose to pull out completely but that wouldn't solve the problem.

Do you have evidence that Nestlé purchases sugar that was produced through child labour? They claim to source the majority of their sugar from Brazil, Mexico and India [0] while the main instances I could find of child labour in sugar produ

It does but it's extremely cumbersome if you have densely tagged images, as you need to send each image once per tag. Plus I believe there's a limit to the size of a ZIP.

Others have mentioned practical issues like performance but there's also cost. When you're actually using a lot of capacity and doing so pretty consistently, Amazon is extremely expensive compared to dedicated hardware.

> energy is always the only constraint that matters Simply making a statement like this doesn't really say much. You really need to back it up with evidence, justification and/or reasoning, or at least elaborate on it a little.

Encryption is all well and good but I feel like Google's handling of root causes a lot of issues. There are a lot of pretty basic things (like ad blocking or monitoring battery usage) that require root, which severely impacts the secur

Another one is that its "master" based pricing really relies on you using it their way, as a CDN with few files read many times. For example for the price of their $10/mo minimum service, you can get 2 droplets + 2TB bw from
