> Wage increases for full-timers will keep UPS Teamsters the highest paid delivery drivers in the nation, improving their average top rate to $49 per hour. Seems pretty good. I may take a break from tech and drive for a while.

That's a very artificially bloated way of compounding the data in memory with lots of data duplication. From storing the example tables you used, you'd need to store 62.5 million times that to get a petabyte of data. It's an

Tuition rates are much higher near me and the other states I've lived in. PA and CA... and I went to a private university. Silly me.

What university? In PA, Penn State's in state tuition and fees come to almost 20k and out of state is almost twice that: https://admissions.psu.edu/costs-aid/tuition/

Pell grants are tiny though. Really, the current grant system doesn't work. We should tell the universities they must provide needs-based grants on their own and prohibit using ability to pay during admissions - or they don't rece

I think this arises because we view academics as accomplished experts within their walled gardens, but don't bestow a similar place in the real estate of the mind to people who have been successful at applying their skills in the real

What's interesting about that is that they have a relatively small db, and that they only had a single snapshot available (and WAL apparently wasn't available or backed up for a point in time restore). We use RDS at AWS, thankfull

Your first link prices per chip makes it look like it's about 71 chips per wafer for 5nm at $238 per chip. If we get the same number of chips per wafer at 2nm, that's about $350 per chip.

I assume they are talking about a2p 10dlc registration. Twilio has badly mishandled the rollout, it's been extremely painful. OP seems to blame them for making things too easy for spammers which caused the changes to be needed, which m

They did before, they are now, and they will after. Reddit contends with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, blogs, etc. We're doing it right here ourselves.

Could be individual salespeople doing it, and probably without Yelp truly "knowing". I worked at a nationwide gym once upon a time, and it was common for salespeople to trick people into signing long term contracts.

AWS doesn't test there last I checked, they roll out to smaller regions first.

It's fun watching each service fail sequentially while the aws service dashboard just updates them to "Informational" status, whatever that means. Even management console is down, and their suggested region specific workaroun

That's a failure of attention, not vision. All the sources I'm able to find say there are no cameras in existence that are as good as human vision. Human vision is quite good and adaptive to real world conditions of all sorts.

Presumably this isn't actually true though? Like if you buy 5 shares, someone else's brokerage account goes down by 5 shares at the same time. The transaction is recorded on both sides, isn't it? Should be possible to establi

For actual spammers this won't do much. You can create a new account with a new email and presumably use one of those gift cards for payments (or use Apple wallet to regenerate card numbers).
