Y'all seeing a pattern here? I don't think it's intentional but our fears drive us to escalate and pour money into things to counter things that don't really exist in the ways that we fear.

I came here to say the same thing: “telefork” is just a much more limited version of VMWare’s VMotion. FT is, IIRC, just an extension of the same technique. You’re basically just continuously monitoring and copying state over to the other h

It's not unheard of but I had a really hard time finding anyone capable of doing that kind of work in the Bay Area. Even when I did find someone the work was not great. Maybe I would have better luck in a bigger city like NYC? I think

I used to work on the tech side of finance too. The hedge fund where I worked had a number of PIPE related violations where they ended up eventually settling and paying a fine without admitting guilt. For them it was just the cost of doing

Not to be pedantic but you’re asking for a comparison of language vs. frameworks. Not sure if you’ll get a good answer to that. That said, I’ve actually used Rails and Django in the past and written a small project in Clojure so I can try.

Yes! I went to a talk given by a security researcher who proposed using the difference in clocks between north bridge and south bridge to generate randomness.

I totally know that feeling. This is why I really cherish my current, by now 3 years old, job because sort of the opposite exists here. In fact, if I forget sometimes or make a mistake, my coworkers are more likely to fix it for me in the w

One narrative I've heard is that Russia is the only petro state in Europe and gets as much as 50% of their revenue from oil and gas. However, Ukraine also have some fossil fuel resources in the eastern and western edges of its territor

My own read on it is that China doesn't really have a stake in Ukraine vs. Russia but they have always been really uneasy about what Russia is doing in Ukraine because of what someone else already pointed out: China hates breakaway sta

Yeah. I think the swiftness, severity, and unity of the response from the EU and US really caught them and, really, a lot of observers by surprise. China's tepid "abstain" during the Security Council vote tells you a lot abou

This is where judges and spirit of the law come in. Laws hav always been imprecise and one remedy for that are judges and trials. I doubt what the company is doing will hold up in court if they want to argue that they satisfied the provisio

I'll try to answer this from a consumer point of view. It makes a ton of sense for a startup to do this. As a potential client of this, I may end up liking it a lot but worry if this company is going to be around in a year. Open source

Costa Rica might fit your bill. Probably not as cheap as Vietnam but definitely cheaper than the US and very non-totalitarian; they abolished their military 70 years ago.

Same here. I love mechanical watches. It’s clearly a dead end road for their original purpose but I love the creativity in pushing the limits of what is possible with mechanical means. It’s a bit steam punk and romantic. I’m really excited
