The ban was created after Tesla started selling, and now it only lifted the ban for zero emission vehicles as far as I can tell (didn't read the whole bill). If Ford or GM wanted to sell direct, they couldn't. In the more generic

I've purchased Zenni glasses for my last 2 prescriptions. The first pair I got I found much more comfortable after replacing the nose pads with a kit from Walmart. Otherwise the glasses are pretty good - lightweight, double hinged and

This other quote seem horrific as well. > A single specialist in Java distributed systems is managing the entire configuration without any commercial storage tools or help from engineers specializing in storage, SAN, or backup. So this p

If you take your definition as "ops people who code and automate", you get a really efficient ops team who can orchestrate several hundred or thousand servers. You still then have a friction point between "dev" and &quot

Didn't realize it was a 4 tuple, I was thinking of just the binding to the local port. Still, increasing the ephemeral range will cause problems with applications relying on ports outside the default ephemeral range.

> Again, why? My understanding is that this controls the range of ports that the kernel selects from for new sockets; e.g., if you make a TCP connection to google.com on port 443, on _your side_ the connection is <your ip> : <a

One solution I've seen is comp time for exempt employees above your "normal" hours. So if you work 50 hour weeks normally, and need to for some reason work requires you to do 70 hours, you'll get 2 days of comp time. Now

It depends on the business. That model definitely works, and another variant on the model where paid solution users get additional enterprisey features also works (single sign on, Active Directory integration, etc). Take for example Chef, w

AWS reserved instances are buying hours. If you can commit to running a particular instance type for ~720 hours every month for a year or 3, then it makes sense to go RI. You don't have to use for one machine running 24x7, you can burs

Some departments explicitly don't allow discounts, but a lot of others will allow discounts only if they're offered at the time of service. They can't ask for the discounts, but if they're offered they can accept.

Some stores like Macy's actually do fill from their storefronts. They can't get realtime inventory numbers that way because they have employees go and pick off the shelf, at the same time customers are buying off the same shelf.
