The stronger they push ridiculous laws like this the more it will force perfectly legitimate business to go underground. We will end up with all the problems of prohibition all over again. > is intended to give publishers and papers a w

Can't speak for Discord but at that scale a provider is probably going to charge you for the physical pipe 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or by the bandwidth used (Mbps) using the 95% percentile method.

It really amazes me how ridiculous cloud providers are with their bandwidth pricing. Anything with user generated video is not feasible on the current cloud providers. Dedicated server providers like OVH are more than an order of magnitud

While not very well supported the arguments do make sense logically and it is enough to get people thinking about the problem. Sure, more rigor is nice but it's not necessary to get people to start looking at a problem. I don't th

No, I don't really use it for code. I use git repos / gist for that.

It will just shift it. They said the same thing with any new artistic medium. Digital cameras, photoshop, Instagram filters, MIDI music instruments, etc.

It's really shocking how it passed both senate and house. How do people not see this as blatantly sexist? This law discriminates against men based solely on their gender. Of course, there's always "I identify as a female bo

Isn't discriminating on the basis of sex the very definition of sexist? Also, what if it is a small company with only 1 person on the board? Now you are discriminating and saying "you're male, therefore you can't be the

It has to do with denying citizens access to information from the government. So it would probably depend on whether public officials are using an account for official government usage or if it is personal.

Agreed. Being dishonest like this is one of the fastest way to lose customers. Please can spot it a mile away. They should make it optional. Have the email collection form prominently there and ask users if they want to sign up to receive

This sounds exactly like Factorio's pollution dynamic. It's a good system actually. Makes you balance production in your factories vs enemies coming and attacking you.

I'm 40 and have no trouble staying in programming / development. The challenge is "Flow". It needs to be something at the right difficulty level and as you get older it feels like things get very repetitive. Working a c

They also didn't control for other muscles so who's to say that it is specific to leg exercise, or even, sedentary life, living life at a 45 degree incline, too much blood flowing to the brain, or any other factor.

Not one instance of the word "leg" in the paper. They were basically lifted off the ground with only their front legs touching the ground. How does one go from load bearing exercise to just leg exercise? There's no evidence i

I consider it infinity because the limit as the denominator goes to 0 is infinity. I see this with investments that have infinity ROI. If you get into an investment using only other people's money (OPM) and you make a profit then you

File systems can be used as key value as well. The Key is the path, and the value is the contents of the file. Most modern filesystems also have metadata. Granted it's not hierarchical, so listing a bucket lists everything in every f

You'd need to allocate more parking spaces then. You can have more roads if you have less parking. Also, having a car sit idle 95% of the time is not an efficient use of money. It's the same model as virtualization with servers

Cost is a big one. Compared to Digital Ocean Spaces, OVH's Object Store, or Blackblaze, AWS pricing is an order of magnitude more expensive.

Anyone know why Amazon didn't adopt existing standards like SCP / SFTP / WebDAV? I've always found the S3 APIs to be difficult to work with, especially for authorization and large uploads.

I would challenge that censoring sex is perfectly reasonable and nobody cares. I hear adult models bitching all the time that their content keeps getting taken down even when they try not to violate any TOS. It's really hard for them

SESTA and FOSTA punched huge holes in Section 230. Any site that allows user generated content or private messaging now is potentially liable if used for certain types of adult "activity".
