We're deployed on AWS in multiple regions with VPNs set up between VPCs. No particular attention paid to securing the transport between Telegraf and Influx at the moment since a) it's either in an internal VPC or secured via ipsec

Right now it looks like it's around 50/sec. A lot of data points get rolled up by Telegraf on individual machines, and then it's shipped in via the UDP line protocol. I've written much larger volumes, though, and never h

Influx + Telegraf + Grafana is such a simple, sweet stack. No work to maintain, trivial to set up, I can ship just about anything I want into it, and reporting is fast. With alerting in place now, I'm even happier than ever. A huge tha

Yeah, it'll definitely need human filtering/tagging prior to training any serious model, but it's neat to have a corpus of stories to start to work from. I think the biggest issue in "fake news" detection is going t

"Nuclear power isn't 100% harmless" is a bad argument here, given the number of people that due from coal mining and processing and coal-originated externalities on an annual basis. The number of deaths (including future canc

$10/lb seems insane to me. I routinely pay $2/lb for mine at Costco ($20 for a 10lb bag of frozen boneless/skinless chicken breast).

This theory would make a lot more sense if political tradewinds adhered a little more closely to economic consensus. Economists broadly want to eliminate the mortgage interest deduction, corporate interest deductions, and reduce the corpora

To play devil's advocate, there are too many instances of families ruined by alcoholism and heart disease, but you can still buy beer and cheeseburgers. We clearly will tolerate negative externalities to some degree; a good or service

It's amazing how many articles I've seen in the last week by people suddenly finding limited-government religion. When people campaign against the expansion of government powers, it's not because we're afraid that the Go

I'm a little suspicious of that tweet. Seems like that's the sort of thing that would show up on at least one cell phone video somewhere.

I certainly expect it to become an increasingly-significant problem, as well. I don't mean to downplay the significance of the attack. But the lesson here isn't "welp, the bad guys have won, the internet is dead", it&#x2

Dyn is toast as a single DNS provider. The big boys are just going to move to using two or three providers' nameservers rather than just one. Dyn will almost certainly remain as one of those two or three.

You're presuming that 100% of price level changes are due to changes in the money supply. That's simply not the case (see also: that graph in my original post prior to 1913, 1933, or 1971, pick your favorite of those dates). Chang

If you believe in rational markets, you should also probably consider that those rational markets are capable of pricing stable inflation into nominal pricing. Consider that money is widely accepted to be neutral in the long-run. In inflati

Venezuelan oil tends to be very heavy and needs to be mixed with light crude for refinement. It does have its own light reserves, but they've driven the oil industry into the ground and are unable to produce enough light crude to refin

nginx as a cache is very minimal-featured compared to Varnish. If it fits your workload, great. If not, Varnish is an exceptional tool.

This is on the money. Niantic made it harder and more frustrating to play their game, and people stopped playing it. They have utterly failed to understand what their playerbase wants, and people are falling off. The maps really drove it in

Yeah, but they only allow you to route via path matching right now. The ALB has access to the headers, but configuring it based on arbitrary headers isn't exposed to end users yet. I excitedly set up an ALB as soon as I read the post,
