But, it was still profitable. More work for the Fed to do. Either Fed Funds end up north of 6%, or they speed up the balance sheet unwind.

Yes, if AWS has possession of keys and drives and the govt wants the data, I cannot imagine how encryption at rest does anything for you.

What does encryption at rest protect against with a Cloud provider? I assume the read credentials must ipso facto decrypt the object. So encryption at rest protects you against an inside job at AWS (smash and grab drives) or government con

If you go this route isn't your server spending a lot of CPU cycles generating pages that will never be accessed?

maybe so. 30 years ago I don't think Northeastern would have been considered elite tier. But based on its current acceptance rates, it's getting pretty close.

SciAm is still broken. Author notes: I'm a socio-cultural anthropologist whose ethnographic research uses sport to theorize race, kinship and care, gender, and the performing body.

Isn't it usually a bad idea to have the database and application server in different data centers? It is / was my understanding that both the database and application server should ideally be on the same rack.

It's pretty easy to find contrary evidence--depending on your exact definition of soon. At COP26, leading automotive companies, businesses, governments, and investors agreed to work towards all new cars and vans being zero emission veh

The Feds should never fear interfering with state laws when federal law is in direct opposition. It's the basis of the entire system.

Didn't we fight the bloodiest war in the history of this country based on which laws (State or Federal) had primacy? And it's still not settled due to Obama's weed policies.

LTO does seem to be the last bastion of closed source vendor lock-in. That being said, even if prices dropped by 75%, I'm not sure our shop would look to do LTO instead of a series of hard drives. 20 TB hard drives are now $400.

Yes, my poetic license path is very heavy withdrawals -> bank run -> dire straits (money for nothing pun). $60B in assets, $8B in withdrawals. Even if all the assets are correctly valued, I don't anyone would envy their position

If they're in such dire straights, how is it $BNB is hanging there? Is Binance defending their own magic bean? What is the cost of doing so? https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BNB-USD/
