Do you have any thoughts on why? Lack of competition, race to the bottom on prices, incompetence, or some kind of vendor lock-in?

The study also shows that Greenland shark females don’t reach sexual maturity until around 150 years old — suggesting that a century of heavy fishing could wipe out the entire species, says Bushnell. But climate change is a greater threat,

The article actually just states that layer 7 load balancers have access to the header information and typically allow you to route based on those headers. ALB, however, doesn't :( Weird thing to highlight when the product being anno

I was coming here to ask whether pre-warming is still an issue with the ALB service. Maybe jeffbarr can comment on whether that's changed? GCE's load balancer does not use independent VM instances for each load balancer, instead b

HomeKit works with non-Apple connected devices like lights, switches, cameras, locks, etc. Apple doesn't actually make any such devices themselves. But as far as I know, you need an iOS or tvOS device to actually run the HomeKit framew

I don't believe you need a custom chip, but HomeKit does require some advanced crypto that many low-end embedded devices probably can't support. See the dependency list for this open source Go implementation of the HomeKit Accesso

Yeah, I realize they have a very long history of this sort of behavior (pioneered by J. Edgar Hoover).

Actually they were just passing on the underlying cost of the AWS ELB to you. The previous setup worked by provisioning a dedicated ELB for each app. ELBs cost $18/mo plus bandwidth charges. Expensive? For low value apps, yes. But far

I'm glad somebody is taking the time to do this. I'm going through and marking every one of these reviews as "helpful" so they float to the top of the Amazon reviews for these products.
