For anyone who is old enough to remember when airbags first came onto the scene in cars, they were sold as optional packages. Most car manufacturers called these "safety packages". These optional packages were sold basically in th

On a traditional model (ie building a datacenter or colocating in a datacenter) then I think what you are saying is 100% accurate. You would have fixed costs and variable costs which make it difficult to break overall costs into a "per

It's a vue component that is part of the framework. In this case it renders an input field that is customizable by passing props into the component.

I still think the point is valid. It seems weird to pay for egress fees within the same datacenter. It is understandable for egress to the public web, but for inter-datacenter transfer, it seems less necessary. While it is nice that egress

I agree, I don't think this is a feature that web designers should worry about. How I scroll is something that should be set on the browser level. This is sort of like a web designer writing CSS to redesign my browser tabs while I visi

Does Safari on iOS need to support this feature? Because isn't the entire idea of smooth scrolling to implement the scrolling that was ALREADY natively implemented on iOS? Basically, while Safari might not "support" this feat

You would be surprised. Most companies I work with are operating on only 1-3 machines, and using the CloudFront infrastructure to distribute content to edge locations around the world. They a handful of Lambda functions to trigger various r

Especially because Washington's Attorney General is particularly fond of jumping on cases like this, particularly worker rights. But he is also fond of keeping startups in line. So this is a double-whammy case for him.

If you are worried about battery performance, I can personally attest that Firefox is better than chrome in terms of battery performance. Still Safari is the best in terms of battery endurance (its a VERY SIGNIFICANT difference). But then a

You might not understand the saying "during a gold rush, sell shovels". Early bitcoin mining would be (almost literally) the "gold rush" in this metaphor, so early mining would be just the first people to get to the vall

Yeah exactly, this isn't anything new. This has been around for many years and is offered by a majority of live chat solutions out there. As you mentioned, I am shocked that the HN audience is shocked by this. I could see my parent&#x2

Well you aren't wrong. I mean technically speaking if there is an SSL certificate, than in fact you are directly connected to the server and no one is in between. The difference is that if I own the server, I can see your information e

I have had so many problems with 2FA and Namecheap. I use 2FA on any service that will let me. Needless to say, I am very confident in using it. All my 2FA are set up in my Authy app, and i use it many times a day without issue. But then co

Hey, the same thing happened to me! They asked for my password during a livechat session, and i was like "what the hell". Also, another time I was having problems with their stupid 2FA app (back when they ran their own app and it

Yes, with read-only volumes. These are awesome for security.

yes, this. Godaddy is not doing much more than auto-updating packages with security fixes. This is easily handled with most Linux VPSs (often automatically, in the case of DigitalOcean). I am pretty sure the Amazon Linux AMIs do this too on

Yeah, it's short for "the pass thru". Older restaurants and diners used to cut a hole in the wall between the kitchen and dining area to pass food through. So yes it became known as "the pass". This is where your fo

Yes, the later amendment would win. That is the reason for the ammendments in the first place, is to repeal, modify, or add to the constitution. So if it were to get ratified than it would trump (no pun intended) the earlier amendments or c

Exactly, i argue that trusted networks are the easiest way to build bias in a company, kill diversity, and establish an echo chamber.

The downside of hiring only from "trusted networks" is that you are building an echo chamber. If you care about diversity (as most companies like TrendCo claim to) then hiring only referrals from your trusted network is likely to
