This only makes practical sense if your energy costs are exorbitant compared to the western industrialized world and you don't care about cold-storage volume relative to room square footage and/or ready access to stored items. Thu

Huh? These are links to tools and services that are de-facto standards to control AWS inventory/spend and directly address the concerns raised in the initial blog. How is any of this gibberish?

In Digg's non-defense, Kevin Rose has been a serial-rug-puller for his entire career. See also Pownce, Milk, and Moonbirds. The only sustained business I'm aware of is Hodinkee.

Cutting staff does in no way mandate a un-notified and abrupt "hard-reset". They could at least put it in read-only mode for a short time and allow downloading of extant community content prior to a scheduled "reset day"

For me it was BBSes hands-down. I was user #12 on the Bloom County BBS and, eventually, got the coveted sysop perms. It felt far more of an "adult" accomplishment than (much later) when I got my driver's license.

This really isn't useful advice since physically, economically, and reputationally, "falling down" when you're younger incurs exponentially less risk. Virtually all legal systems make a clear distinction between "ch

To your point, we already have testing jigs for these sorts of systems in the automotive world for steering and suspension. I can't find the video clip atm, but there's a neat (likely leaked) Foxxconn video that shows a really nea

In practice, a "ban" consists of personal loan guarantees of a certain percentage thereby limiting the frequency and magnitude of this sort of financing. Essentially, that means some amount of corporate risk is leveraged upon the

This is the best post to HN in quite some time. Kudos to the detailed and structured break-down. If the author had a Ko-Fi they would've just earned $50 USD from me. I've been thinking of making the leap away from JIRA and I co

No it's really not. Asbestos risks and remediation are known solved problems. Sadly, these sorts of hyperbolic videos are the result of private equity investment https://www.electrify.video/news/electrify-complete

I don't think the author realizes the time*attention triage that happens when your sole corporate responsibility is to manage others. I've noticed a distinct personal trend in "email succinctness" the more people I need
