Their rate limiting is laughable compared to the amount of data they produce (even on prod apps) so good luck :/

My brain went to DeCSS, which, weirdly, the DVD licensing company lost because enough people had (illegally?) published it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_Copy_Control_Ass%27n,_Inc.... I think there was also the So

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to circumvent the copy protection in the US, as well.

Uhhhh... I think the MPAA's popularity has basically been zero since the whole napster thing.

Why would they? Amazon is a platform company.

Usually you set these up by aggressively spraying the heap by allocating objects so that copies of the code you're trying to execute are thousands or more of places that are also aligned to the page boundary. The heap doesn't do

Not that i'm the proshit haskell expert, but I don't think that GHC does the most amazing job in applying optimizations and I definitely think its performance paradigm is really hard to reason about. Still, it was a nice breakdown

I mean, maybe? That's still a scenario where the vast amount of memorization you did is more important than the strategy you may come up with. There aren't top players who got there with superior strategy and a vastly inferior v

it is mildly statistical, but this basically pales to the amount of memorization you can do. It's good to set your rack up so that you have a good chance of getting decent letters in the subsequent turns, but the gradient of improveme

Part of the value of the stock is expected returns, and if the expected returns suddenly change than the value of the stock will suddenly change too. I don't think that it's necessarily an omen.

The key difference between those technologies and this is that industrial production hardware (centrifuges or specialized biological equipment, etc) are needed in addition to specialized knowledge of the topic at hand. These additional req

The comment that i think you're referencing in that article is talking about a cray x1, which was only 2 years old when the comparison was done.

There are lots of things you can't put as terms in a contract. This is why we have contact law.

How do you complain about the decade of war and then in the same article complain about countries that the president didn't go to war with? The unique insanity of trying to blame a declining empire on such recent actions... does this

It's a little tone-deaf to suggest that people who don't make six figures in their day job are lining up to have their content stolen because our industry inadvertently built extremely good ways of doing so.

I'm dubious about the number of people who actually read this- trying to outspend a bunch of distributed attackers isn't 1) a novel solution that is AWS specific and 2)not an effective or cheap strategy.

I think having to to divide the language into two semantically exclusive sublanguages answers the question of the author. (Though the title here is not his title...) The other answer (which there was an article about a few months ago which

I would assume that most people making a decision between these options don't treat any of them as a net negative (Which is why they're paying for them...)

You can bluster about the reason being unfair if you want, but someone explained it to you and it seems to pretty obviously apply to your case and it did the exact thing that spam is supposed to do (have your app show up when someone search

There isn't a lot of difference between "rewriting this in another language" and "cleanroom rewrite" as far as getting burned by the same corner cases in the same languages go. I get what you're saying, though.

It's not clear to me how many of those applicants would actually be valid for the job, so i'm not sure. The companies that i've worked at which had stagnant wages had barely 1 candidate per position most of the time, so i&#x

You can't discount the role of applicant volume in that, though; if you have a 20 day hiring process with one person going through it at a time, the odds of it taking 40-60 days are a lot better than if you have 2-3 going through at o
