The problem is identifying potential risks. It's obvious if I build a building it might fall down. It's not obvious if you sell web cams they might be used to take part in massive DDoS attacks.

Check out rclone [1]. I haven't used it yet but it's free and supports lots of backends. [1] http://rclone.org/

Thanks. I know it's tricky due to scaling, etc, but I guess in the same way dataflow works out when data should arrive by (this is a streaming task btw), an estimate of the daily cost could be calculated and would be useful.

I have no idea how much a dataflow will cost to run. It tells me it's running on x vCPUs, but what will the bill actually be?

I want to like Google Cloud, but it just seriously lags AWS. Amazon got everything so right with an ID and secret. GC's oauth is just cumbersome, and the CLI tools are nowhere near as user friendly as aws-cli. Two other recent exampl

Sorry I don't have links. But yes, I think it was primarily to improve the performance of EBS, not S3 (been a while since I had to work on that sort of thing).

IIRC there are various tricks you used to have to perform to get it to strip across different disks in the backend. Something along the lines of allocating 20% of your storage and then increasing it 5 times until you had what you wanted. If

Actually, you need to meet people who are also open to making friends. But it depends what sort of friend you're looking for. Sure, you can make shallow friendships/acquaintances by just mixing with people regularly, but if you ac

Well that's the point isn't it. If the US don't honour their NATO obligations, there's nothing to stop a Russian land grab.

by estefan 10y ago
Russian military spending has increased in real terms for the last few years and they've ordered 2000 high-spec new tanks. What do you think they need them for?

Well that's the question isn't it. Power corrupts. It is and always has been the way. At the moment democracy is the fairest system we have. But it doesn't contain any safeguards against electing extreme, populist candidates

Given all the barefaced lies told during the Brexit campaign and the US campaign it does lead to questions about democracy, i.e. should the average man on the street really decide? To be sure I'm not advocating Communism but perhaps up
