Can anyone explain how they calculate the years of life lost by primarily young people due to shutdown vs the years (or months) of life lost from the very elderly population due to covid? It seems to me that there is also a measure of quali

From people I know working Data Center Ops at Google. They were super pissed about the NSA tapping at the time and steps were definitely taken to further encrypt their data in transit. Of course executives at Google may have handed over a s

Google and Amazon have their own dedicated fiber between DC sites, but there was evidence that the NSA was still tapping it at some points. So they added encryption between the sites as an extra safeguard.

The CCP has done a fantastic job manipulating their currency to benefit China in the past few decades. Whether that will continue to benefit them over the longer term remains to be seen.

Everything is negotiable, but based on the info you've given here you don't have much leverage in any potential negotiation. The only thing you might be able to use is the fact that the acquiring party will likely want your cooper

Does anyone here know an organization that actually uses Google+?

This is hilarious given Googles history of firing people who have attempted to have meaningful discussions at work. And as others have pointed out, how many months until they abandon this one? Why would anyone adopt anything new from Google

I lived in Puerto Rico and know lots of people in government there. The lack of action is entirely down to the Puerto Rican government and has nothing to do with the USA federal government. Turnout in the referendums was too low for it to b

Puerto Rico can become a US State anytime it wants just by holding a referendum and getting a majority vote. They have repeatedly chosen not to, probably because they hold full uS citizenship, can live, work and travel freely to the states

Oh totally. You have to view consulting like running a business and be constantly looking for new clients, there is no job security at all. But if you are decent with marketing and selective with your clients it can be super fun and rewardi

I second this. I am much younger than you (Early 30s) but very old looking for my age. People regularly guess that I'm 10 years older than I am. This has only worked to my advantage in the consulting space. Companies want young naive e

I was once banned from a travel sub for suggesting to a 19 year old woman asking about safety in Egypt that it might not be the best place to travel by herself. I had been there myself and know women who have traveled Egypt on their own who

It's just very rigid and not easy to extend. As soon as you hit a certain scale or need to do something slightly non-standard it's a mess.

Somehow Terraform manages to roll out new features before they are even public while Amazon's own framework lags by years. I guess the CloudFormation team must be starved for resources.

Yeah for the standard vanilla case it's ok. As soon as you hit a certain scale or need to do anything non-standard it becomes much harder to work with.

The default model works for most use cases, but it's not really flexible for non-standard cases and it fails completely at larger scale. If you have a few dozen containers taking 100,000 requests per second and you want to slow warm th

The ECS default deployment model is quite frankly a disaster. I've written many Python/Go scripts over the years to wrangle it into a sensible form for CI/CD. Good to see that they're working on it, but I don't know

Perhaps bad terminology on my part but I would argue that Terraform IS cloud agnostic, it is NOT cloud portable. You can use Terraform with any cloud. You cannot seamlessly move your AWS configuration to Google Cloud but you can still write

Cloudformation is spot on. There is simply no excuse in 2020 to use it when cloud agnostic Terraform exists. Elasticache is expensive and the analysis is generally correct on that, however if you do actually need a high capacity rock solid

Are you seriously trying to intimidate me by posting my name here? I stand by my comments, there is nothing hateful about facts.

No it does not? Stating facts is not a conspiracy.
