Do people really blow past 1TB easily? Even with all my pictures I don't really get past that mark. Many people I know only have a laptop and all their data on there, it's rare to see laptops with more than 1TB capacity. So apart

Backblaze downloads are $.01/GB, not $.02/GB as stated there. And via Cloudflare they're free. That makes a big difference vs. AWS where you have no chance to get that data to another provider for free (unless you have a very

But glacier also has minimum storage duration. With S3, you'll need to use a tiered system unless you want to store all backups for several months (often that's only the case for weekly or monthly backups). In the end, S3 can be c

A fire like that in SBG a few days ago is extremely rare. The data lost there compared to all data stored in data centers probably justifies eight 9s. The problem with these numbers is that it's extremely unlikely to lose data but if y

And also that choices of HR aren't easy. Should they've fired the other person for a remark that might've been with good intent? That would be at least as damaging. And they probably had a talk with other people involved, not

That you were surprised just shows that there's something wrong with the system (education, social or whatever) that so few black people end up in well paying tech jobs. Being surprised to encounter one isn't racist as long as you

Is any discussion about skin color racist? If I see a picture of someone and then see them in real-life where they look different, I'd comment if it was about the color of their hair. Is it not ok to comment if it's about the colo

How is Dr. Seuss a symbol comparable to this? The stories themselves aren't even offensive (apart from one line in "If I ran the Zoo"). Are the illustrations alone enough to be a symbol?
609.
by dx034 6y ago
The problem is not all parents have that discussion with their kids. But those explanations can also be added to a story so that kids can understand them. I don't think it would've destroyed Seuss' legacy to change a handful

In my opinion, changing offensive parts in new edition would've been moderation. Unpublishing them and banning the sale of the books on the largest used book platform is much closer to censorship.

by dx034 6y ago
As much as I'm against banning them, for kids who grow up without much contact to black people, showing the depictions in Seuss' books can create wrong associations (my opinion). I believe a change of some illustrations was overdu

I absolutely agree that showing certain racist depictions to children can create biases. But is the solution really to ban the whole story? I said it in other comments but with similar cases, publishers just changed illustrations or words i

I love reading the Zoo and McElligot's Pool to my kids. I'd love it even more without the offensive illustrations as they don't add anything to the stories. If they'd publish a version with some updated illustrations, I&

Most news websites also use "If I ran the zoo" as this one is the most clear cut. I had to search around a lot to find the example for McElligot's Pool. There it's just one illustration that could be viewed as offensive

Isn't nitro mostly AWS marketing? They profit from it as they burn fewer CPU cycles on virtualization for shared hardware. But on dedicated hardware you own everything anyway, so why bother if AWS virtualization runs there? The big dif

Hetzner is great for cloud but especially for dedicated instances. If you have your infrastructure as code, buying dedicated servers there is likely much cheaper and easier than using a large cloud provider and trying to scale. Only issue I

Most speedtests aren't designed to test very high speeds. It could just be that the server on the other side was congested.

by dx034 6y ago
If you properly utilize your hardware, on premise (or colocation in an area with cheap electricity prices) is vastly cheaper and will likely continue to be for a while. I don't see how training models in the cloud makes financial sense
620.
by dx034 6y ago
Do theoretical speed limits matter though? Real speeds will be much lower anyway. And if you need consistent high speeds you're likely to use a cabled connection anyway.

OVH and Hetzner could probably provide you with at least 100 top of the line servers within 24h (just guessed that, it's probably more). With a reasonable setup, that's much more than any start up will need to scale.
622.
by dx034 6y ago
As I wrote further up, there's not just colocation and AWS. Dedicated servers are a great fit for many start ups and need no capex. You just rent hardware monthly like you lease most of your office equipment. Much cheaper than AWS, no

by dx034 6y ago
That's the nice thing about Hetzner, OVH and Co. You don't need Colocation but can instead rent servers monthly. That way you never have to bother with physical hardware, the knowledge needed is purely on the software side. I also

I guess that without a lot of optimizations, .NET will be much more performant. The lower the performance, the more servers you need and that will make it harder to manage your fleet.

by dx034 6y ago
Autoscaling is overused anyway. It's cheaper and much less complex to have 200-300% of average capacity running 24/7 on dedicated servers (OVH/Hetzner, whatever) than trying to scale up and down according to demand. Changing

It depends which market you look at. Git hosting in general, especially for enterprise, Github has no monopoly. Gitlab (esp self hosted) is very strong there. But for public repositories, OSS development and to a certain degree even job app

It'll be a question of how many reposts they see. If enough people keep reposting with throwaway accounts, they will have no other choice but to start scanning automatically.

They don't want to get rid of copyright, it's just about creating a less punitive system. I don't think there's much downside for them if they really cared.

If a country now decided that the Linux kernel violates law and bans it I don't think the kernel would violate their license just because it's now illegal to distribute it in that country.
