Take a look at overhead costs as a percentage of the total budget for universities. You'll see that administrative costs have ballooned, while the size of faculty and student bodies have remained relatively constant. That certainly w

I've got some news for the author of this article. University cost inflation started well before 1993. The chart here ( https://www.edvisors.com/plan-for-college/saving-for-college... ) shows that the divergence i

I was doing a big release over the evening. I was working fine up until about 6 hours ago, when I signed off. Our network monitors show an outage started about half an hour later (at about 4:05am CST). Service restored a few minutes ago,

This sounds very similar to the situation Nokia was in around 2007: - Nokia was booming financial. Things had never been better for them in that respect. - Nokia had XX times (!) the operating income of Apple's mobile business. - No

It would have before fracking became common in the US. Now, production can be turned on or off relatively quickly in the US--just start/stop fracking in existing wells. Since it requires no capital investment (only operational expens

That changed last night. My wife is such a frequent user of Amazon Prime that I wonder sometimes if I should register as an Amazon Fulfillment Center. But last night, after our hair dryer failed, Amazon Prime would only guarantee delivery

As I understand it, hotter weather helps to prevent the progression of the disease from the upper respiratory to the lower respiratory. When the disease moves to the lower respiratory area, patients typically need hospitalization and a ven

As it turns out, insulin resistance, like that associated with type-2 diabetes, is also related to inflammation (apparently due to cytokines: https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/inflammation-and-diabetes ), which in turn is

You are correct. Urine color is an indicator of hydration. But sugar in your urine will cause your urine to be cloudy and more opaque. I've noticed that when I'm in ketosis that my urine is super transparent (just looking at tr

AWS+kops is less expensive. Digital Ocean and Azure provide services without charging for master nodes. I will likely choose AWS+kops.

For K8S, I think the best alternative is AWS+kops. EKS also has a high fee for the control plane, and has a ton of shortcomings aside from that. AKS, at least the last time I used it, was much worse in terms of functionality. But I can s

Google has a habit of killing off "enterprise" services and applications. Google has a habit of raising prices on services, while I've only ever seen price decreases from AWS and Azure. There is a reason why Azure has seen

I guess I need to start migrating my clusters, then. $73 per cluster on my prod, dev, QA, and test clusters is a significant increase for me. Looks like Google is doing their best to kill off GCP - https://www.cnbc.com/201

So it is a golf cart? I must be missing something. I’m not sure why a golf cart would require such fanfare. I guess because most golf carts don’t have doors?

Shodan returns some 5100 Tomato servers, with about 1500 running web services (presumably the remote administration). I would bet that a fair number of those 1500 servers (maybe 10%?) have the default password, but I'm not going to ch

Or they demonstrate that the CPU is throttling cores due to excessive heat. Compare the 24-core 3960x to the 32-core 3970x, and also look at the power consumed when running cores at 100% utilization. It would appear that the 3970x starts

But the stock dropped 1% in the seconds after the announcement. This isn’t a 1% drop over the entire day; it’s a 1% drop in 30 seconds after the market has closed. I think it’s safe to say the market values Ive’s contribution to Apple at

Interesting that the movie "Heathers" came out 30 years ago this year. It's about exactly this thing. If you didn't experience it 30 years ago, you may have been simply lucky.
