You don't have to switch to gmail, you can pretty reliably switch to a myriad of service providers. You could even solely switch your SMTP server to something hosted and retain message storage on your end if you wanted. It has become

I’ve only ever seen this handled with VPN, and the answer there is that you’d need to launch another vpn server in the right vpc/subnet if one went down (or have failover setup). It looks like there’s some benefits with bastion hosts a

How often have you interacted with “hot” packages that both change rapidly and are high dependency? Haven’t worked at amazon but in my experience that’s been low occurrence or a reason to build evolving api / not breaking the api. I’m

IMO this would mostly be useful if you had an architecture that evolved over time where you started with flat files for configuration and later moved to a centralized configuration system, many of which have concepts of references. Duplicat

At the end of the day I think it matters because high tax states have already been subsidizing red states and one of the pressure release valves was that they weren’t taxed twice on the same income. I.e: https://www.apnews.com&#x

Given historical relevance it’s hard to imagine a time when someone would make a comment like “Regulations on human psychological experiments, what are we, a bunch of delicate flowers?!” But I have a hard time believing it would be seriousl

You could definitely include the out-of-pocket costs (and how they differ between high deductible plans vs. low deductible vs. single-payer), and you should, for a fair comparison. This is researched to death effectively at this point but

This is already a description of “how much more bad is drinking” because the control group is largely drinking the same water and breathing the same air. This is a pretty basic scientific concept. As for boogeymanning scientists as a whole

Yeah I was being sarcastic. My point is that theres a limited technical challenges on the scale of feasibility ("anyone _can_ build...). The big challenges are on the cost/return side of things. Google Fiber faced tremendous pr

Having a significant leader advantage and on a market that takes time & a lot of money to develop is one of the more classic “moats” in the infrastructure game. Anyone can lay tons of fiber cable, anyone can build railroads, how are tho

One of the major political factions in the US has spent decades at this point deriding career politicians. It's been a decent strategy inside of that faction, but other factions point out that career politicians actually develop tools

Hopefully this isn't made into a problem that doesn't really exist ala elastic, redis, etc. To me this is a real opensource success story -- openresty / the lua bits of nginx that came out of taobao really upped the level of

If you want to take a long shot bet on something I'd just take the 13.5K and place some ridiculous march madness bets. I'm damn near convinced given the info here that you can get similar odds / price with however you wanted

I would not get depressed, you're talking about an extremely small audience of developers in the field. If anything I'd look at it with aspiration, you're reading up on hackernews and you're straight out of college at a

The platform utility stuff would all require new legislation. Maybe the argument is that you threaten antitrust cases unless tech goes along but that too would apply to gdpr or some other low touch solution.

You could even exactly pass GDPR as a first measure — there would be a head start on crafting legislation, and businesses are largely implemented against it, they just need to extend existing practice to US customers / users. Even that

Just so I'm clear -- AWS elasticsearch service was launched in October 2015, and VPC support didnt come around until fall 2017. So for over 2 full years the only way to utilize their elasticsearch service was to run it internet-access
