Downloading backups for a decade is untenable

Just a single drive can be more than 16TB nowadays, having just a couple of those makes $90/TB seem quite high.

The backup and store service is cheap, general outgoing bandwidth is very non-trivial as it also applies to every other service in AWS; It's designed to keep your data in and heavily discourage multi-cloud

Outbound traffic costs always cost the same regardless of your retrieval speed to API. If you only have a couple TBs worth of high-value data, this may be acceptable to you. It's far from being a universal truth though.

outbound traffic costs don't change at all regardless of when you need your data, it will always be atleast $90/TB

This often disregards the cost of retrieving said data, which is at $90/TB for outboud network traffic on top of the costs of making the backups available.

"A sec" is very ambiguous. Asking someone if they have 15 minutes to talk about the new deployment is much more useful and allows people to prepare for it, shortening required time to converse and providing you with more useful an

A tiny subset of the site's users have accounts to vote with, and even less make use of it let alone make comments. Any guess about the "average" would be quite inaccurate. The stance of a vocal minority on X can be quite cle

If paying the maintainer is not possible, you can always pay some third party or hire more people internally to maintain the required libraries. If the company chooses not to pay anyone, it's a risk they brought upon themselves.

If commanded, sure, but in many cases your job would actually be to communicate the changing environment to management so they may allocate more resources or pay the maintainer or whatever middleman company to upkeep the required software.

This issue would be above the developer's paygrade. It's not the developer's job to make requirements fit in the timeframe, that would be the manglement's job. If execs have made bad decisions with regards to the develop

This is no surprise, electricity prices are going bonkers in EU at the moment. Just a week or two ago it was over $1/kWh over here in Finland.

I'm not quite sure I understand, isn't there a written contract you sign that states exactly what you get for N amount of money? Paying extra because of insufficient planning sucks, but is the price of such luxury. Think of the br

This is honestly a tough thing with other cloud-based solutions aswell. Backing up your data from say AWS isn't difficult _per se_, it's just made prohibitively expensive to export any serious amount of data

This is very region specific. Here is a similar news from Finland about a 81-year old man who shot a at a burglar who invaded their home and attacked him. The owner was then charged with attempted murder https://www.iltalehti.fi&

I'm pretty sure you shouldn't try to piggyback off of a for-profit company's name either. In fact atleast over here in Finland naming one's company is specifically reviewed by the patent and registry bureau to make sure

It would be really great if any javascript binding could be turned off in about:config or it's equivalent in other browsers. It's not really a solution, but would bandaid a lot of bad design which I can't see any legitimate u

They might be afraid their algorithms would be too easy to manipulate if you knew all of it's factors. Since testing the all of the possible factors would be cost-prohibitive for most, it's not exactly 1:1 with software developmen

Maybe it is to bring about it's simplicity, or a sarcastic tounge-in-cheek jab at it. The word "algorithm" doesen't really distinguish it's complexity in any way. It's just a sequence of steps.

Personally I've found notifications to be really useful for applications which I don't want to install from external sources, but must still use for work. These include MS-teams, slack, rocket, Whapps, GMail.
