It does mean you can't just replace EC2 because the AWS egress bandwidth costs will eat you alive. I'm shocked DOJ has not gone after cloud providers for using egress bandwidth as a monopoly tactic.

Sorry, for an obvious question to those who will answer, but does Germany not have energy interconnects with neighboring countries or do all those countries face the same issue of excess capacity?

The problem is OP didn't meet deliverables and the team was behind schedule. Helpful in the right light, but equally not helpful in another.

It was more than 5 years ago and was not a direct commitment. Another company was being used for their data centers, and this was a lease/rental agreement of equipment; Think colocation model, but where you're like 50-80% of being

Bandwidth costs are really not that bad. 95th billing, adaptive, progressive playing and just cap buffer to the minimum to keep playing. Equals ~$1M/month for +10 tbit/s egress. Source: Worked at one of the largest bandwidth consu

Very confused to why they're not just acquiring. If they're representing 10% of revenue are they're doing a pilot and then considering outright buying them?

Does anyone have examples of larger companies making "engineering centers" work? It appears every time a large company opens in a country outside of say the top 10% by GDP it ends up being a failure though it takes forever to happ

No, the system could always maintain the correct distance to be able to break given your speed and the speed of the car in front of you or maintain that the crash will never exceed X speed based upon stats of the vehicle of survival rates.

What if the company had industry data that the statement is factual? That unionized employees are less empowered and companies that have unions do not yield the same ROI in their respective industry as their count parts? Would it still brea

I am very skeptical of the claim. A driver glance down to change the station, going 110 kms, with less than 15 meters and the car in front of you full stop breaks, you are going to crash, but yet folks still continue to do it and still they

The logistics fallout is a nightmare. Let's say you're running a 10000 store burger shop. There is an outage and all of them are offline now. There's the sheer hassle of recording everything and everything needs to be recorde

Early stage companies seem to have a huge benefit from the ad-hoc communication and ease of communication the office provides. More mature and larger companies can cut huge expenses by getting rid of their offices and then outpace any of th

Sometimes this can happen if the candidate is outside of the position pay and the company is willing to make it work if they are a perfect fit. If your interviewing notes were simply a, "would recommend to hire" they'll pass.

Your "beautiful" code won't be around if the company isn't around. If you want to do that then build a open source project and a company around it.

Thought the way you presented your source is a bit odd. For SOC2 you write the controls & policies. The audit is backwards looking to confirm you're adhering to what your company has said is policy.

I've heard the same thing about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tiktok. "I won't ever join those. Those are for kids. Those are weird. Why would I join them." Society rules our lives far more than people are willing to a

Shift the liability or the agreements. If you want to ship out of the Montreal port you agree that the port authority has the right to open the container. If the container is found to have stolen goods the fine is 5x the value of the stolen

This is why the AWS marketplace is an incredibly powerful tool. In most engineering departments they control their existing P&L which will include opex AWS spend. Spending within an existing vendor doesn't need budgetary approval a

I don't understand. The only way this looks to free up the $8B for stock buybacks is if Intel was already going to invest in doing all of this already and specifically here. Can they reallocate capital to stock buybacks if they were al

They're making progress. Their last quarter shows them decreasing their loss in net income and at the same time increasing their revenue. IMO they're a dying company. Selling is a smart move to push their existing customers a cros
