One way around this limitation while still using server less (for Python only) are Glue python shell jobs. They can run for hours if not days, and default at 1 vCPU and 1GB of memory for 2.75¢ an hour.

The coordinating body of all 17 agencies did say there was Russian interference in the election, but not all agencies would have been relevant to such a statement. Politifact rates the 17 agencies line as true - they go into some detail as

On the contrary, the story of Russia contacts with the Trump campaign had excellent journalistic provenance - multiple sources from within intelligence agencies as well as a former MI6 agent willing to vouch for information he had collected

Just playing West Wing every time would likely be a massive improvement over the current civics classes. The focus is very much on largely irrelevant facts from the 18th and 19th century and not on modern civics. Students understanding don’

Thank you for this recommendation, I heartily enjoyed it. There’s something beautiful about the pride the printers had in their work. Even if the output is somewhat ephemeral - a daily newspaper.

Or right up until FedEx and UPS agree on burner phones Dec 1 that they aren’t taking more than a pittance of the holiday spike traffic, leaving Amazon in the lurch.

Large universities often run their own campus police departments. They don’t act as substitute parents but substitute governments. In this capacity, the university has to police student behavior - it is the only entity which can do so. Univ

Focusing on PM pollution tends to reduce CO2 emissions. Most PM 2.5 comes from burning fossil fuels, so insisting on lower levels means burning fewer fossil fuels. PM studies are able to tie pollution directly to lives and thus dollars (thr

The claim isn’t that brakes and tires contribute the most pollutants, but the most particulate pollutants. Specifically, PM10, hard particles below 10 micrometers. CO2, Nox, etc from a car are hot gasses which expand relatively quickly, s

The 1st Amendment does not apply to private platforms, except perhaps if Twitter was denying access on protected attributes (race, gender, etc). Anyone can be sued for any reason. It is extremely unlikely a suit against Twitter for moderati

I experience this as well. I find the game very enjoyable for a few hours. Unfortunately the “just one more turn” effect causes me to play SimCoty, Tropico, etc in long sessions. Towards the end of the session it just feels like I’m workin

Everyone also thought Tom Wheeler would be terrible as due to his prior career with cable and telecom, but he ended up being a strong advocate for net neutrality.

This isn’t at all surprising, sadly. The actions of the state regarding this server have been completely fishy from the start. It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes.

This article was chilling for me. I lived for six months in a town off the Oregon Coast by Hwy 101, just like the town in the article. I can vividly picture the ICE agents stopping people on their way to work. More terrifyingly, this data i

It's Only A Paper Moon is one of my favorite episodes of DS9. I hadn't heard of What We Left Behind, and am looking forward to watching it. The interplay between Nog and Vic makes Paper Moon compelling. Both Nog and Vic gain life

The "market" will bear varying levels of cost though. The demand and supply curves are curves and not lines intersecting at 90 degree angles. Often a firm can make more money by lowering price because of the higher quantity. I bel

Nothing in the breakdown explains why the Joycons are so expensive at $80. The MEMS accelerometer they use costs $1.88 each when buying 500 at a time. Presumably the other chips are about that much as well. There are a lot of connectors on

One of the advantages for solid-state LIDAR has to be an increase in reliability. Nobody wants to buy a car which requires a new LIDAR to be installed after 100,000 miles for the sum of $7,000. Hopefully once production starts and yield rat

Maybe password rules should be represented as an HTML5 attribute in the input field. 1Password and LastPass et. al. could read this rule and then adjust the password generator accordingly.
