Is Spielberg going to feel the same about Apple's streaming service? Would he want his movies there excluded from the Oscars? I don't have much sympathy for Netflix since you can't acquire a standalone copy of most of their c

The kid had a 105 (!) degree fever. He was unvaccinated. It sounds like the parent has some doctor skepticism already. As a parent, if my child had a fever that high, and the doctor told me to consider emergency care immediately, you better

It sounds feminine to me. I predict that the truth is in the ears of the beholder, and subconscious bias will cause people to sense a more masculine or feminine voice.

I've actually done this! It worked out mostly well, though it's a perk reserved for us people at or over 25 years old :)

A couple more: 1. A hurricane is coming and we need to evacuate! 2. We want to pack a family's worth of luggage and take a sight seeing roadtrip of the US. 3. Sure would be nice to visit my parents who live in rural America where no pl

This is a bunch of FUD. * No, using a colo saves you way more than just 20%. In one of our facilities, our org has maybe ~15k servers under management and dc costs are ~ 1 million/mo. Build out of the cages and racks wasn't incred

I have a friend that is all into this, mostly as a hobby. There's also a Funko Pop market as well. Really, if there's high value behind it, there's an arbitrage market that goes along with it. It's pretty big, there&#x27

I live in America. I rarely tip Uber. I have tipped before, one that comes off the top of my mind is when I asked for a ride into downtown, where there was a huge parade/celebration going on. Due to traffic from other vehicles, there w

Even if you can't predict the workload too well, you can go hybrid cloud - colo for the baseline and then AWS for the unpredictable stuff. ManageIQ is great for this.

I had the opportunity to hear Van give a talk of his at OSCON last year. His talks are very interesting (he is a former sofware developer, now a patent attorney) and if anyone sees him on a conference schedule, I really encourage them to go

I don't know how much that stuff costs, but chlorine is pretty cheap and easy to deal with. A bucket will last me almost 6 months and is like a hundred bucks. I shove some tablets into my chlorinator and it just works. It's easy t

I don't think this is a huge concern - at least ICANN has the power to designate a successor registry, and I guarantee someone will break down the doors trying to get that particular gtld.

Yes! This guide is good for securing maybe a personal server, but any business systems should use a server hardening standard that has industry mindshare (CIS, STIG, etc.) I can speak from personal experience that QSAs give you a very skept

Bit of a rambling reply, speaking from experience. Companies with tech departments (that will cater to this crowd) that are around that long tend to be maybe big, somewhat stable, somewhat largish revenue companies. It is not the norm for p

Other way around, you'd be surprised at how much infrastructure you can buy by forgoing AWS's offerings (for large work scales.) For small companies, you may not be able to afford infrastructure people, and moving fast makes way m

I'm a little saddened to hear this because there's some high quality posts on Google+ that we're going to lose (Linus and other FOSS people posted on there.) I always enjoyed reading some of the things they put on there.

OP wasn't talking about objective meaning, but subjective meaning. They sound like they want to move on to doing something that fulfills them.

The logistics of laying off 6000 people makes it very difficult to hold one on ones. Assuming 30 minutes per person, 8 hours in a day to hold meetings and 5 day work week, that's 75 person-weeks (!) just to hold one on ones. On top of

Yep I was just going to say this. Google already sells your location data to advertisers, they are not the hero in this story.

Chicken and the egg problem. Few carriers support it, so they can't block unverified calls (yet). So the most they can do is log (display) when a good call comes through. I imagine this requires cooperation on the manufacturers part to

I worked at a couple companies where these "sudden pushes" to knock out embargoed countries were made. They both came when new legal counsel joined the staff. It's very clear to me that this is some housekeeping attached to t

So one problem with that is not all of our team uses Linux, we're a Mac/Linux hybrid team. Our workflow was to edit the puppet manifests locally and then Vagrant up, and we wanted something that would work across different dev mac

So OpenShift (or OKD) is just Redhat's Kubernetes platform. If your dev team isn't already in a docker-like workflow, it's going to be a hard sell. I've found many devops-y people love to be able to SSH into the environm

Personal anecdote: They came after us, since the extension phones home and they could track it to our ASN. Asked us for an audit of all installs of VB. The idea was that they wanted to then charge us big money for a corporate license. Inste

Yeah, Linus is in a power position and could lean on teams to create his vision of Linux on the desktop. But he's a very tech oriented guy and that's ok. He has a tech vision of what the core of the OS should do, and I think the c

Very heavy headline for a very nuanced position by Linus. It's an open secret that the ideal of choice fragments the focus of creating a tight UX on the desktop. You have to understand when you watch this video though that all Linus an
