This really is the first major failure of DynamoDB since when I started to use it, when it was in beta over 4 years ago. Not sure many companies would be able to run a multi-million QPS scale database with such a great availability record.

900 miles per year... You definitely don't need a car at 900 miles per year. Get zipcar or rent a car when you occasionally need it.

This is not the point of the test, the test is about showing you that the load balancer in GCE can handle that many requests per second and with a single IP address. Whatever the machines are doing behind doesn't matter since the load

Read the article. This is the same thing as the IDFA but on the Chrome browser. Pretty sure you'll be able to reset its value or turn it off entirely. Most advertisers don't want to reach you if you don't want to be reached.

The best time to push is the middle of the day of any weekday, possibly when there's a lot of traffic. You'll immediately figure out if there are problems and should already have the setup to revert or have enough tests to know th

Yeah, that's pretty much how it works. The frontend is anything that supports PostgreSQL as a database. Right now we use Tableau but we also used to have a custom WebUI on top of this service, it was very functional-inspired. Unfortuna

Doesn't take so long actually, takes about 1 hour per day of data and every day we process about 10TB of uncompressed log files. The result of this can be stored and reused as many times as you need.

Agreed. Out of the box none of the other storage systems actually allow you to not worry about range scans at all. While HBase will repartition your data to balance the used disk space automatically, in most other systems you'll end up

In some databases, such as PostgreSQL, there is no difference between varchar(), varchar(N) and text. http://www.depesz.com/2010/03/02/charx-vs-varcharx-vs-varcha... And 7.8 MB really change practically nothi

It's really a trivial cost compared to the DynamoDB price before. It used to cost about $3600/month to get 5000 writes/sec. Now in a bit more than 2 months you'll have broken even on the reserved price compared to the old DynamoDB price, an

Actually that's inaccurate... The A380 has 2 engine types and the issue only affected one of the 2 types, specifically the Rolls Royce engine. The other problem is that the issue was not a general flaw but some of the oil valves in the engi

You are wrong and it is intentionally designed in the system. Why then have the verdict of a jury be final, with impossibility of re-trial, even in the eyes of Congress, if not to defend the Constitutional Right of Jury nullification? From

According to Clay Conrad, author of this book: http://www.amazon.com/Jury-Nullification-The-Evolution-Doctr... And according to an article that he wrote in 2003[1]: Jury nullification occurs in 3-4% of all criminal trials. Jurors cannot b

This is fairly easily solved by coloring the background area of those clocks a different color when they are supposed to be in-office. All the clocks will be on the same time and the backgrounds will be rotated depending on the culture of t

You have to explicitly set it on, that means the user had to take a specific action, and that means there was an intent to do it.

How is a cookie 'just short of transmitting the user's SSN'? Microsoft itself, for example, doesn't support DNT for all browsers in its advertising network Atlas.

We didn't have downtime for various reasons but the ELBs we were using failed and the queue of starting instances was too big to see our few ones restarting. The main systematic issue in EC2 is EBS, take that away and it will almost complet

ELBs unfortunately use EBS so they are always affected in these cases.

Could the "some reason" be that the USB plug is not a mag-safe plug? I for one would definitely not welcome going back to a different type of power connector.

This is not the main reason people would choose HBase. For time series data HBase is much better at load balancing the data and at storing the same data in sequential blocks so that in a single operation you can fetch all of the data points
