Food, the weather, transportation, the latest TV show and sports games also affect the journalists and 330M people who live in the US. Those things belong in general news outlets, not tech news outlets.

There are a lot of people outside the US, for whom US political issues are a minor (and definitely ignorable) concern at best and not something that should frequently come up while reading tech news.

Is there a reason you were using hardware RAID rather than a software based RAID with checksumming like ZFS? (I mean this as an honest question, I'm interested to know if there are performance or reliability gains to be had from a hard

Depends more on your usage requirements: - If you're basically just doing a backup and not reading data very often, Backblaze B2 is a good choice, as storage only costs 0.005$/GB (1TB is $5). However if you're reading kinda o

I can definitely see the value in those things but I think there's also a place for "dumb" storage. Some people want that great support, some people don't need it. I'm in the latter category and I'd rather have

It may be because there are multiple posts. The first may have been flagged by people who didn't want to see the story, the later posts may have been flagged by both those who didn't want to see the story and those who didn't

I'd be really curious to know why rsync.net is so expensive. Is there something inherently costly about scaling a ZFS based filesystem like this?

Anyone interested in the data can decode it with a cheap receiver and some pretty simple software: http://www.rtl-sdr.com/ads-b-decoder-gomx-3-satellite-ads-b-... It also seems that FlightRadar24 is using GOMX-3 data to tra

That's not great, only $10k/yr. For 11 years of wrongful imprisonment, that's $112000. In the US, there have been cases where the wrongfully imprisoned have received ~600k/yr: http://www.nydailynews.com/n

Patreon has the option of pricing by project rather than by month/week. You could make an "Artlav's Hacks" Patreon and only charge say $5/project.

I work in south bay but my wife studies in SF. We live in an east bay city roughly half way between SF and San Jose. Quiet neighbourhood, close to BART, pretty quiet and the rent, while horrible still, is much more reasonable (we pay $1600&

I assume this is a different HSBC to HSBC US. In the US, they make you answer a security question and either a OTP from their mobile app or randomized characters from your password (e.g. first, second, fourth and last characters).

As an Australian, my general understanding of the US stance is that: - There's a constitutional right to bear arms so restrictions can only go so far. - If it's criminal to own a gun, only criminals will own guns. - The sheer numb

BOSH knowledge isn't easy to come by unfortunately and I don't think the problem is HA for the foundational components so much as there being so many foundational components. Look at a HA Kubernetes cluster. You've got kubele

Back when I looked at CloudFoundry (years ago now), it didn't work out because there was no middle ground deployment between a single PC and a full blown production deployment. You either ran it on one machine or you spun up what would

Maybe I have to cover a road with 11 inch long bricks and I need to know how many to buy? The problem is that although perhaps certain units may be good for measuring certain things, the things you use those measurements for will frequently

My assumption is that it's the payment terminals. The US tends to have far more dated/low end terminals than I've seen elsewhere. I have a feeling that since retailers are forced to upgrade, they choose the cheapest, most ter

We're just customers with bad experiences. There are even screenshots of emails with the RamNode CEO. Is it really that surprising to you that not everyone is happy with RamNode? We didn't say that RamNode is an illegitimate provi

I've taken US credit cards to Europe (and soon Australia) and yes, they're noticeably faster there, even with the insert + PIN process.

I'll just add that this was definitely a concern when I planned my flights. I chose Schiphol and KLM airlines rather than another European airport or even a US airport precisely because of how well I'd heard it was run.

Wow, that's appalling behaviour from the CEO of the company. I can't say I'm surprised though, that was roughly what I expect from him after my own interactions.

I assure you, I'm no shill. Like I said, RamNode does very well in benchmarks. My problem with them is that after being hacked, exposing my personal information, they refused to remove it, citing nebulous "legal reasons" comp

I love Vultr. Pretty consistently performs better than competition (like DigitalOcean) for the same price, cheap, haven't had any issues with reliability. I'd say RamNode is also decent (they do very well in benchmarks) but their

I think most people are concerned about the response to security incidents around as much as they're concerned about the security incidents themselves. Improving the manager is certainly a good step but there's a lot of work to be

Aside from taxes, which others have mentioned (and I believe the standard in Europe is for prices to be tax inclusive), the EU typically has stronger consumer protection laws. More refunds/replacements/support etc. means higher co

The problem is when AWS uses your IP in one of its services. Since you've agreed not to assert your patents or IP rights against AWS, if they were to take your IP and integrate it into their "service offerings", you have no r
