Yes, but then of course Microsoft is being obligated to open part of kernelspace to competitors, which is arguably "OK" from a competitive regulation perspective, but that then places a special burden on competitors to maintain co

What's "down" about environmentalism? Even thalidomide has its virtues, e.g. in Lupus treatment. You just should never give it to pregnant mothers.

But at least they maintained the courtesy of major version filesystem compatibility allowing faster in-place upgrades during an extended period (from v9.0 - 9.6), by simply changing the binaries. Possibly that held them back, but yearly upd

If that were true, Carvana wouldn't have an obscene valuation.

Well, I for one am happy that less compute is being wasted on blockchain, and if the total BTUs and tonnes of CO2 remain equal while the proportion allocated to AI goes up, that'll also be a good thing. Doing useful stuff, and becoming

Yep. Even the censoring and firing of the last of their decent cartoonists, Steve Bell, shows the Guardian can't even tolerate off-message satire when doing their masters' bidding.[0] They were half-decent under Rubsbridger, but h

G disruption already arrived, with ChatGPT and Bing copilot, search now has a superior challenger/disruptor it has lacked for over a decade of G incumbency.

If you keep the rest of your cloud architecture on AWS, possibly. Consider if you were primarily using RDS but otherwise had a hybrid on-prem compute estate, you'd already be paying RDS egress which you'd eliminate. Its interestin

If you have this 100% availability expectation you're going to have to face the reality that DBMS versions fall out of support, you will have to upgrade or AWS will force-upgrade you their way, the AWS-provided default mechanism has si

Whataboutery. And your statement of Hamas "starting" this fight ignores both the historical Israeli agression, oppression, landtheft, and apartheid suffered by Palestinians, or in the particular, the "administrative detention

True, it still fails the game theory test. You should still assume the need to cover up, because it might work, and in a (common) poor intitutional culture, save you from reprimand/job loss. Worst case, you are found out, and fired, bu

Sounds ideal for child kidnappers, extorters, contract killers etc. Also sounds like the kind of thing that should be covered by an updated GDPR, something EU citizens should be able to easily opt out of en masse, not done on a per-site bas

Public parks are too. If you've got reasonable access to one, do you need the other? Or rather, is a private lawn something that should be taxed (much?) more heavily where a park is available within 15 mins walk? And should urban plan

Similarly, anyone get the feeling the forecast for Hydrogen uptake (as an alternative fuel) has more to do with a self-serving politically and commercially motivated hype train than an honest assessment of its effectiveness that then drives

Undoubtedly Monsanto are (were), but greedy Bayer should have done proper due diligence about the risks of acquiring it. Presumably the net value of the acquisition and the extent of uninsured risks were known and considered acceptable at t

And given the aparent tolerance shown towards the one in the ME, its easy for them to claim double standards when people complain about treatment of e.g. the Uygurs. Because, well, there are.

It does beg the question, but your point about orgs "incorrectly" thinking they could move some parts of their portfolio off-cloud begs several more. I would like to see it fleshed out a bit, into some high level rules of thumb, t

I'm reminded of the way Star Trek explains in the 24th century the Federation doesn't use money[0]. By that yardstick, all jobs whose only purpose is moving or charging rent on money , e.g. the entire banking/finance sector,

Its jarring for a european when you visit the US and expect the workers to be compensated a living wage from the ticket/menu price, to find everyone hustling for tips and it being a weird expected thing because their actual wage is low

Isn't it fairly widely known that the overall Glassdoor rating isn't worth looking at, and that short and wildly positive (or short and negative) individual reviews aren't useful either, because of the widespread fake review

Software absolutely can be good for the planet, e.g. if it disintermediates wasteful supply chains by finding alternatives, or optimises planning for a lower carbon footprint, or surfaces better measurement and tracking data. Or any of a hu

Arguably the UK/NL isn't so great for individual solar production anyway. But there are still good options: buy from a on/offshore wind provider, hydro too.

Don't really see why people with solar that are connected to the grid actually want to install batteries at all. There's the cost, fire risk, and just the simple alternative of selling excess production for free/discounted gr
