In terms of data mining: credit card companies seem to be the lesser of infinite evils. At least I can see what data they collect and they pay me for my data. I would still prefer they didn't do anything with my data, but at least I ca

It's actually cheaper when you want global redundant storage. Cloud providers often charge twice as much for global redundant data. RAID 2,3,4 offer global redundancy, but only take up 1.5 times us much space. Instead of paying twice a

Yeah, RAID 4/5/6 are planned for the future. The plan is to offer all of them and let developers choose what is the best practice for their application. RAID 0/2/3 are not CPU efficient, but are great for privacy and sec

Yeah it's pretty similar. However, I'm focusing entirely on the cloud, keeping the package lightweight, and giving the consuming application decisions on how to store the data based off their needs.

It's something else entirely. It's a mixed cloud approach combining the storage offerings of Azure, Google Cloud, and S3 providers. The idea is not to trust one cloud provider to provide fair pricing and proper redundancy. Right n

I've actually been working on a library to help mitigate cloud storage lock-in. The idea is to treat cloud storage providers like disks are treated in RAID. For example, you have 3 separate cloud providers. Cloud providers 1 and 2 have

This is so well timed, I just bought a 3-year subscription to NordVPN and they have a 30 day refund policy.

I'm really torn on this issue. On one hand does Facebook have to double check every ad that comes through and make sure that it is factually accurate? On the other hand, Facebook is incredibly influential platform and I don't want

I have to strongly disagree. Go back 200 years in any country and it had a society that was far less tolerant. Sure there are oscillations where people are less tolerant today then they were 10 years ago, but that's how any natural sys

Obeying a government order is also a political statement that you support that government. GitLab is an international company, they don't owe an allegiance to one specific country. One country might tell them to do something and anoth

If we've learned anything from Blizzard it is that it is impossible to be an international company and not participate in politics. What would GitLab do if the Chinese government ordered them to take down a repository because it's

Can anyone explain to me why I would choose a FaaS solution that requires me to maintain a Kubernetes cluster? OpenFaaS and OpenWhisk both require this. To me, this defeats half the reason to use FaaS. The whole reason I use Azure Functions

I've been wondering why none of the serverless providers have offered the ability to get better pricing if I let them control when my timed functions run. For example, I tell them that these functions are daily/monthly/whatev

Seems like a really great biometric to be honest. It's intuitive and I assume fast. Also great for privacy. Other biometrics like facial recognition can give the company a lot of data about me, but this one just tells them if I'm

Isn't that the whole point of Beyond and Impossible? Make vegetables have the same place in the meal as the meat they replace?

Probably because it's only legal to use the horn if it's to avoid an accident, but it's almost always legal to use the brakes.

by chickenpotpie 7y ago
Exactly. The problem here isn't that Blizzard is taking sides in international conflicts. The problem is that Blizzard, an American company, is taking China's side in an international conflict.

I think a huge part of the problem is that car companies aren't properly incentivized to protect pedestrians. It's easier and cheaper to prevent my car from hitting something that can damage it than to prevent my car from hitting

I don't see why marriage doesn't increase financial stability. Marriage is basically getting an incredibly efficient roommate. A spouse is a roommate that is fine with sharing a bedroom, a bathroom, can give you insurance, lower y

There's a difference between living with your parents because it's more practical and living with your parents because it's all you can afford. It's fine to create a society that values taking care of parents as they age
