Got a 2013 leaf for 6500 cash. Insurance is $20/month. Gets about 80 miles of range. They really are that cheap.

Probs they expect a 2TiB plan user to never use a significant amount of the 2TiB. Whereas the 10TiB plan user is more likely to use a higher percentage of allotted storage.

No it’s called policy making. You show the CCP an inch and they’ll take two. The way to combat the CCP is to avoid even giving an inch. It worked in the Cold War and will work today.

Biden would be a fool to give the CCP even an inch. For too long they’ve taken advantage of western society without any repercussions. The equivalent is when the world pushed for peace with hitler before ww2. Even after his many aggressions

Not all stores “buy” their own stock. Take Walmart what doesn’t sell they just give back to manufacturer and don’t pay for it.

Why isn’t it? I highly suspect the CCP stole trade secrets with zoom.

They can also give those in the Llc worse benefits as it’s a separate entity. FYI, this is already a common practice.

They also focused on diversity hiring vs focusing on hiring top talent.

They won’t at the vpn connection but they will elsewhere. And they can design the vpn to make tracking at other layers more possible.

You could just have hospitals be required to meet FedRAMP compliance. It is kind of crazy that hipaa compliance isn’t encompassing enough

Steve Yegge, a former Googler & GCP Customer begs to differ. From my experience GCP does deprecate a lot of libraries, SDKs, and APIs. None of which are covered in the SLA policy. https://medium.com/@steve.yegge/dea

Your under estimating the political incentives. New manager comes in. Hires team in India. He designs his metrics in a way to be greatly improved. Higher ups impressed...guy now in charge of department does the same. Org is now mostly outso

And who pays for that? For many remote work involves less take home pay.

Are you saying the photos and videos are fakes made by some ML algorithm? For all you know the Post validated the content itself as real.

^ ever work with someone in a remote office. I’ve always seen their careers take a hit. Same for remote employees. It’s great when you have a family with kids and you’re less career focused. But I noticed my comp increased almost 2x their’s

Sf has some great hole in the wall places that aren’t too expensive. E.g. Tonga room isn’t that badly priced Dropping 50$/person on dinner & drinks in sf isn’t that much money when your rent is 50x+ that figure.

Saw friends of friends leave sf and together rent a mansion in Hawaii. If the bars, clubs, gyms, and even beaches shut down why stay if you are renting at market rate. It’s literally cheaper to move your belongings into storage and move int

Quic also has a window size. > QUIC congestion control has been written based on many years of TCP experience, so it is little surprise that the two have mechanisms that bear resemblance. It’s based on the CWND (congestion window, the li

My understanding is that it’s not TCP but the tcp AND tls handshake overhead combined. Where-as quick combined both handshakes at the protocol level.

It’s cause the cncf is heavily staffed by GCP, and it shows in the way it’s run. The warts of CNCF are the same warts of GCP

I see the server market skipping over and and moving to arm. The Apple silicon makes it easier for Silicon Valley Devs to use an arm ecosystem. That way dev/test/staging/prod is the same ish binaries.

GCP has done more price increases than that. Heck it charges for In use public ips attached to a GCE node. That was also a price increase.
