If you're using it properly you can even boot VMs off of it, in the same region (S3 data transfer in region to EC2 is free) like this article is talking about. Just don't enable public read on your bucket to avoid a surprise bill.

I just opened Safari and tried this on my 16" MBP (8-core i9, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) and I don't see any delays or flickering. The menus draw the same as they do on my work 15" MBP (2019, 8-core i9, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD).

I admit that I also fell for some of the police union marketing material and automatically assumed that being a police officer in the US must be one of the most dangerous and deadly professions, however, the numbers from BLS don't back

What you're essentially advocating for is Facebook, exactly as it is today. Unless you default to censoring information, which is incredibly unlikely, you default to amplifying all hateful information.

Police unions shouldn't exist. It would be like having a union of military soldiers. Imagine if the US military had a union that refused to defend the country unless every soldier got immunity from war crimes and high 6 figure salaries

Facebook employees - this is how you can speak truth to power. Publish those private group communications. Name and shame the officers encouraging violence against protestors. You know it is happening, and you have the power to expose these

GP here. My guess is that they intentionally disabled binary caching because this is a financial application and they wanted to make sure no untrusted binaries got into the build pipeline.

While this is true if you are building new versions of dependencies on an existing system, in many cases in high security environments you want to start with a clean build environment every time. Cached dependencies might be considered to b

I read a great comment on Reddit on the news article about the 7th Amazon worker dying of Covid-19, and their refusal to even share the number of positive cases with the other employees. https://www.reddit.com/r/technol

Alternatively, Reddit could roll this out slowly and give Ethereum 2.0 a chance to land. By 2021/2022 when Ethereum 2.0 Phase 2 lands, scalability of Ethereum should be much greater than it is today and it should be a solved problem. A

The SF bay area is an outlier, and yes, I agree about the restriction of supply problems we face (I live here). But to simply paint all blue states as similar to SF is inaccurate.

I'm curious how you think this is going to play out. Obviously it seems like house and apartment prices in SF city will suffer, but do you think we'll see a jump in house prices on the peninsula and in the suburbs like east bay? W

Factually inaccurate. The reason the cost of living is lower in red states is simply due to location. People desire to live in coastal cities like NY, SF, LA, Seattle, etc. Supply and demand drive prices. Do you think real estate is expensi
