Exciting! Disappointing that you can't route based on hostname yet, though. I've got 5 ELBs set up to route to different microservices for one app, and because we couldn't do path-based routing before, that's all segment

You make the strong case that your value-creation in such a scenario is an amplification of value created by other people, and is not actually value created by you in a vacuum. What sense would it make for you to claim priority ownership of

Every employment position comes with some degree of risk exposure. But, the risk of "I might lose my job" is quite a lot less scary than "I might lose all my invested capital and/or be stuck with crippling debts after

Consider that practically every company begins as a democratic worker-owned cooperative, and those worker-owners generally can't wait to diversify themselves out of that position. Risk exposure is a lot higher when you're a wo

Assuming that you can tolerate the commensurate risk, absolutely. Many people forget that the rank-and-file employee isn't exposed to the financial and legal risk that their employers were/are.

Nail on the head right here. The price of an employee isn't their MPL, it's no greater than their MPL and is set by how little the next guy is willing to take to do the job. Competitive pressures work to drive down labor prices,

Heh, the Phoenix picture is impressive but that's every July-September for us - it's monsoon season. We get massive, violent storms that last a very short time, dump a massive amount of water on the city, and then are clear skies

Google's an investor in Uber, it's not difficult to connect the dots - Google is interested in applications of its tech, not in owning the entire stack top to bottom. Self-driving cars are very certainly the future of Uber, and on

Last time I looked at Dashlane, they didn't support Linux or ChromeOS, both of which are dealbreakers for me. Has that changed?

Turn off autofill. Takes you 2 clicks to fill things in when you need to, and you're sure that you're only providing credentials when you mean to.

I love the idea, but as an Arizonian, evaporation is a serious concern - in the summertime, water evaporates out of pools at a rate several times faster than more moderate climates (pool covers are big business out here for that reason). Wh

The reason it does so is that it's the only viable way to fund it. 235,715,590 people 21+ in the US. At $13k/year that's just over $3 trillion dollars per year. Social Security spending was $888b in 2015, Medicare spending

ES clusters will fail on the loss of a single node if you aren't running any replicas on your shards, but that's not really ES's fault. I've occasionally had a node just wig out and need to be restarted, but that's

Much of that isn't specific to Elasticsearch; security, backups, logging config, etc is all going to be extremely common across just about every similar product. I didn't say that Elasticsearch was "trivial", I said that

You don't "3x overprovision" Elasticsearch in particular, you should always provision a minimum of 3 nodes for any highly-available clustered DB. 1 node may fail, you're down. With 2 nodes you can develop a partition or

Elasticsearch is one of the easiest clustered databases to administrate, and it's a lot cheaper to just run your own EC2 instances with ES than it is to use the managed ES service. A roll-your own deployment is basically "install
