I know that HN hates on Oracle, but they freely provide source and iso's on their Oracle linux page. No signups or anything else. And it is just repackaged RHEL with Oracle branding. https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux

MetroPCS was just a MNVO that ran off of T-Mobile towers. It never had its own towers. It still exists as a separate pre-paid service provider even after the T-Mobile buyout. [1] There are also hundreds of other low cost MNVO's in the

I think this sounds about reasonable. Apple marks Macbooks as vintage about 5-6 years after launch. But Macbooks cost start at around 1299. If these $200-300 Chromebooks are lasting 4 years, then the schoos are still getting bang for their

So, where are they putting in the money. Reading the article, it is not very clear, but it looks like there a slight shift from Savings Accounts to Money Market Accounts. In the end, I think it is just shuffling money between banks. Nobody

I think that message is relevant for the kind of services that IBM provides. Most of IBM’s recent come from Consulting. IBM’s consulting charges start at around $250 /hr. Most of IBM’s customers are Fortune 500 and old school companies

I don't know why people like to blast low code developement on HN in general. The US and worldwide software development market is big enough to support both full software engineers and low code developers. Each has its own place in the

I think predictive crashes never really phase out. There have been a lot of predictions of the US having a deep recession for almost a decade. When you hype something up and prepare for it, it doesn’t really happen. Yes there might be some

The Spectre brand sold by Walmart has quite a few 4K dumb TV’s . I bought one a few years ago and connected my Apple TV and works fine.

I don’t think there are any banks in the Us that use Authenticators to enforce 2FA. Although I have seen Robinhood does app based 2FA.

Yeah . If you are comparing Apple to a company that sells less than 10k units a year, then sure Apple would hold better value. I had to look up what is a system 76 oryx.

As much as this is a win for community fiber, there are several things worth noting. This is a very spread out area with a extremely low population density. There are less than 9000 people in the whole town. Also this community has been fig

Having Azure AD does not prevent clients from also having Okta or any other 2FA provider for 2 factor authentication. In fact, I have worked with at least 10 clients in the last 2 years that used Azure AD for authentication but then somethi

I have seen similar calculations discussed many times on HN. Usually the suggestion is to charge 2x your salary. So if you would usually make 150K per year, then charge 150$/hr to make up for the self-employment taxes, health insurance

It is actually the opposite. In California, police attack your home if you are thrifty and use less energy. Apparently you are placed on some sort of suspicious list and accused of stealing power. https://www.yahoo.com/video

I feel that one thing that is taboo to discuss on HN is the work done by illegal immigrants and their effect on the depression of wages and benefits provided at these lower end jobs. As per the Pew center research report from 2014, there ar

Amazon still runs on Oracle ERP. Even though they removed Oracle databases from AWS and other internal orgs, their own financials are still run in Oracle EBS. Thus the data for all the books bought by a person might still be in Oracle

I think the best bet is to take a 2Bed 2Bath apartment for around 6K and split it with a roommate. That way you can cut the most expensive line item of your stay in half, while still getting the NYC experience. However, all that goes out th
