Revenue is up because a lot of their contracts will be over a 3-5 year term and they'll recognize the revenue each year of the contract. It'll take 3 to 5 years for the pain to be felt and another 3 to 5 years from that point to c

Yet the CISO's are the very folks driving Shadow IT. I've been at a company where getting a Slack plugin approved took 8 months alone. Vendor review took a year. These departments aren't equipped for the modern day and most w

I believe that is the wrong approach. Why is an individual after 3 years becoming the go to expert when the government employees many individuals for this very reason. I don't mean this in a demeaning manner, but the government needs t

"Folks" is all including without specifics to any identity and doesn't seem to carry the exclusion weight of "Those people". People while also all including tends to bring with it the identity war with it. I use fol

Maybe, but I don't think so. The market is simply going through a cycle. With such a high price per IP there are a lot of organizations finally putting in the effort of cleaning up their space and selling off blocks. I know a company t

Some things are impossible to destroy immediately. KMS keys take 60 days to remove. You can also start the close account process which takes 60 days and just pay the fees for anything not torn down and then it all gets nuked at the end of t

I think AWS doesn't truly care. They've probably internally planned for the day when egress cost billing would be chipped away and have been planning. It is a total cash cow and huge boast on margins for them, but they've bee

Not far fetch at all. Governments already get individuals into large corporations to steal IP.

Ugh, these are always set up to be nothing more than click bait. They're always surface level and never actually gather real financials. Most of the folks who fill out the information don't even have access to their P&L to be

Is it not fair to say they're operating independently, but Microsoft simply set expectations that drove this independent company to do this? Corp B to continue the growth it forecasts apart of the merger needs to continue to invest in

Use BQ to crunch the larger set into a smaller subset that you need and ram that into PG/MySQL. Used this to power a +$30M revenue affiliate platform tracking.

My hope was they'd charge for the IPs, but would drop the cost of NATs. I can't believe the cost of NATs! If you're running in triple AZs that is 3 nats you're paying for.

Ubuntu 18.04 isn't supported anymore. When I first wrote this I thought there was another couple of months, but then I saw 2023. We're in 2024. Not sure of the uproar if that is the case.

Can't the work be done in a Canadian entity instead of labour being hired via the US entity? This way, all the R&D expenses are happening in Canada.

It isn't about hand-tuning. I'm still confused by your description of speed limit signs in Finland. Is the speed limit emitted by LEDs? Why is it ever different between winter and summer? Etc. If the sign is not white background,n

It forces keeping up to date in a reasonable period of time. It is a feature, not a bug. I agree with comments in this thread that LTS should be a commercial bought option only.

It is a management tactic. Don't list out a successor because that gives them leverage. Saying there are several in the running makes all exec/senior management think they have a chance and be gunning as hard as possible for the p

I understand and it is a bit of a struggle I'm facing in the writing to have the reader believe that a large part of what is holding them back is this very thing. A lot of my technical audience has the sense of, I should just be able t

I'm writing a book, "Bytes Of Wisdom: From Start To Merged" that focuses around code reviews. I agree that larger PRs can increase the latency of getting feedback and getting quality feedback. I also have another view. Most c

They might be able to sustain just simply via country contracts using it as a breakglass in the event of a telecommunications attack. I'm also seeing more commercial entities looking at it simply as a backup.

Places like Vancouver, Canada do this through a vacancy tax. It doesn't appear to do much as those leaving the unit vacant are the extreme wealthy and just factor in the tax to the cost of maintaining the house.

Agree. Four months ago I scheduled a showing for an office and when I got to the location they didn't know of anything booked for a showing that day. They were able to show me the available offices, and then I never heard anything else
