Unable to activate a few Christmas presents the day after, assuming this is due to many new Apple devices being unwrapped and turned on all at once.

I was lucky enough to get in at the ground for the Apps for Business (or whatever name it has now) service when it was free, and I was able to use my own domain for that. As such, migrating these email addresses was easy enough. My older @g

But you can pay for email from other providers like Fastmail and Proton and just have your own domain with MX pointing at them. Services are better in my opinion when you pay for them and you’re not the product.

People will suggest running your own mail server, and if you have the time and energy then definitely do that. But the next best thing you can do is simply just use your own domain. That way, you can at least decide to migrate your email el

After using lambda quite a lot recently I think the vendor lock-in argument is overstated, especially with things like Serverless framework. The lock-in comes more with the other AWS products you end up using such as CloudFormation and Dyna

Surely the problem isn't that a specific AWS region is down but that the developers put all their eggs in that basket?

Looks like an escaping issue with the formatting. There's an italic HTML element at the end of that comment.

Which is it, because the headline here says 'Beta' but I'm already on the Beta channel and see no update and my architecture is still 'Intel' in Activity Monitor. Should I choose "Nightly" in the dropdown

Thanks for clarifying instead of downvoting. There's a lot of confusion about these numbers and it seems asking a question about them here is being taken as inherent criticism. For HN that usually gets you upvotes. But apparently the v

Isn't that what happens now with normal exposure to the virus?

by gpmcadam 6y ago
And if those people under 70 were exposed gradually to the virus, they'd survive in higher rates than the vaccine? So would it be more effective to expose them to the virus instead?
108.
by gpmcadam 6y ago
As per CDC, survival rates by age group are as follows: 0-19: 99.997% 20-49: 99.98% 50-69: 99.5% 70+: 94.6% What would be the benefit for people 70 years or under taking vaccine that has "95% protection". Can any

In most cases, I reckon it would be for the hell of it. But in the reddit comments for the OP, the author of this article sheds some light: > "Hey, author here! I chose to skip that part just because when I was researching our new A

It was completely empty aside from the headings. It turns out that a content blocker in Safari was causing this. I have no idea why, perhaps because of some class name or ID in the HTML on Medium?

Honestly, I find Twitter's editorially driven hash-tag auto-complete and "trends" to be one of the biggest sources of misinformation out there. It's laughable and frankly patronising that they even pretend to not have an

It doesn't even necessarily have to "work" (as in, work well) it just has to feel like it's the path least resistance. You can work in a department using Excel for this type of data collection and reporting, and you can
