What you're calling kidnapping is actually referred to as arresting, and it is entirely possible to identify violent individuals with certainty. Every riot in Seattle has had multiple police helicopters circling the area; it isn't

The verse structure's practicality as a reference mechanism far outweighs its downsides. It's a bit of a stretch to indict the verse structure for the general decline in Biblical literacy in Christians. It's entirely possible

I turned it off after 40 minutes. I appreciate movies that use slower-pacing to build tension (No Country for Old Men comes to mind) but every scene in The Blackcoat's Daughter is glacial to the point of being parody while still not

I've often marveled at the absurdity of how many of my coworkers openly admit that a big appeal of the office for them is getting away from their wives and kids. Healthy and normal!

I highly doubt anyone with a portfolio worth $1000 or less knows or cares about things like loss harvesting.

All the proper hygiene in the world won't prevent you from being infected if there's an overnight explosion in cases while you're in contact with hundreds of people in airports, airplanes and social gatherings. Even if you di

This guide is clearly intended to focus on the ops-side of ElasticSearch. No one is being irresponsible, you're basically just complaining that the article was written about one topic instead of another. Notice how it also doesn't

They're acutely aware of the power big tech holds and how politically devastating it would be if Google, Facebook, et al started to regulate their platforms in a politically biased way. That's why the idea of regulating social med

That has been a common pushback to many media/broadcasting mergers though. It presents a real threat to freedom of the press when a broadcasting company absorbs a media company as they can more easily suppress stories that don't s

This is the only rationale I can come up with for the game development policy: AGS hasn't produced anything in 8 years and what they have in the pipeline looks disappointing so...cross your fingers and hope one of your employees makes

It makes no sense why use of a small-scale nuclear weapon would somehow escalate to armageddon. It seems to hinge on the assumption that government leaders are completely irrational robots that, once a nuclear weapon of a size equivalent to

Both situations feature people being banned by companies due to their speech because the companies fear backlash from more powerful entities (China or the media/general public respectively). They seem pretty comparable to me.

I agree with you completely, but this whole debacle has highlighted what seems to be hypocrisy in the general public's reaction to this. Remember when The Daily Stormer got kicked off CloudFlare and a whole host of other platforms, to

If there truly is a cash shortage to the point that it is threatening bank liquidity, the Fed's likely response would be dropping rates and increasing the money supply with another round of QE. If that happens, you should be buying, no

That's the problem: Approximately half of the US stock market is made up of passive funds like index trackers which make up a large percentage of American 401k and retirement plan portfolios. As soon as a company IPOs they enter into t

I've never used S3 to host a website before so I decided to try this and see if it's really that complicated. First, I searched for "host static website on S3" and found an AWS docs page with a walkthrough. Then, I creat

I haven't had this problem. For simple string searches CloudWatch returns exactly what I'm looking for, even for partial word matches, and for more complicated queries there is the excellent Insights feature.

Most AWS services' console/API are 1-1. Occasionally a console might offer some convenience features which are just a combination of API calls, but I'm not aware of any service that has functionality solely offered in the con

It can be relied on, but it's up to you to configure it properly. AWS has no way of knowing how critical your application is and what level of redundancy it needs, and this has cost implications so they can't do it automatically.

I'm not the original commenter but for an EC2 hosted application, any architecture that uses a VPC with proper cross-AZ subnetting and a load balancer would not have been impacted. EBS snapshots would minimize any data loss.

Thank goodness we live in a republic where majority opinion from non-specialists doesn't determine policy. I'd wager that 95% of Americans are not qualified in any way to speak to conservationism and the myriad of inscrutable lega
