I live in Austin and the change was very welcome here as the city is considered liberal. About a mile away in a conservative county they would probably never have such a ban. You can purchase bags however, I think they cost $1. For my fam

If you live in a western country it isn't a very smart way to launder the money as you will eventually get caught. If you live in other places it is a way to move the money without it getting flagged. I'm guessing that local bit

I don't think any item is "ignorable" if you are about to run directly into it. I get that the computer might not be able to track every road sign or object to the left or right of the car. Still do you want your car to dire

I haven't found this to be true. My credit union (for 10+ years) has never charged me any fees for checking and has had free online bill paying. They also gave me a great rate on my car loan. My previous credit union was very compar

This will probably be very cheap just to cover gas. They probably wont do customer support and tell driver/rider they are on their own. Since the rider pays up front they have their Identity and cash up front. I don't see Uber a

We use one docker-compose.yml for local dev and another for deploying to ECS. Locally the docker-compose.yml configures volumes, with ECS we do it in the task definition. For shared volumes to gather logs we are using EFS which seems to w

EBS is replicated inside of the AZ (Availability Zone) that it is in which is what makes it durable. An AZ is a data center. You could always sync to another volume in another region if you were concerned about a longer term region outage.

As a native English speaker, we have the same problem. Piquant is used to describe the heat although most people aren't familiar with it. "Capsaicin feeling" is often referred to as well.

Option #4: Voice your concerns, document, if you can't stop them quit as soon as a lawyer agrees something bad was done, and then sue them. Now you let the world know and maybe you can sue for your equity since you were forced to leav

Wow I didn't believe this at first, so I dug more. AWIS requires the root key of an AWS account. I found a forum that does suggest creating a new account solely for AWIS. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?thre

I worked with one of the largest ad publishing companies. They wanted to track data about every client served an ad. This generated over 1.2 Terabyte per hour of data when the MySQL master started to max out. We had the largest possible

They throttled users to 10Mbps to Netflix. The article states this shouldn't be an issue streaming a show at x resolution. I have 5 people and four TV's in my family. It is common to have 4 different shows going on Netflix. We

I keep seeing articles like this that fail to point out an important fact. The economy has been strong for a long time and it is a workers market. Once there is another downturn it will be an employers market. Job hoppers will be lucky t

Treat everything as PII and we are good. The constitution has an amendment to protect our rights. That seems important. I know of no guaranteed right of corporations to infringe on our privacy and to provide access our data. Forty years

60% of US households have a prime membership. I'd say the majority of Instacart's database is already a prime member anyway. Whole Foods customers would just switch to Amazon even if they move away from Instacart.

Agreed, I was quite disappointed. I actually thought we would here new sounds humans have never heard before. This was more like two instruments picked from an orchestra or, playing two bank settings on a synth on a split keyboard.

There are 10 of them and some work remote often. It's easier to get everyone in one place than to try and track down 10 people. I'm very busy getting work done myself as I'm not the actual boss of anyone, just a lead.
