It seems like the price is too low, if your actual margin is only 25%. As a customer I would also be concerned about how to carry it without damaging it, given that there's no case. Do you have any recommendations? You might also want

Yeah, I felt the same way when I was vaping - this isn't a dramatic enough impact on my health to put the effort into breaking the habit. The only reason I quit is I had a baby so my wife and I decided to take out life insurance polici

This is really cool work, I worked with a team that implemented an ECMP hashing scheme using a set of IPs kept alive by VRRP in a previous lifetime, so I have a bit of familiarity with the space and a few questions. The article says the L4

From personal experience, I switched from smoking to vaping for a period of about 2 years, then quit vaping altogether. My cardiovascular health improved when I switched to vaping, but it really improved by what I felt was a much larger mar

It's not their fault! As Heather Bresch and Martin Shkreli have been telling us, it's their fiduciary duty to their shareholders to manipulate government regulation in order to reap as much profit as possible.

What kind of discount are you talking? I have heard about the negotiation of a quite large deal in the high single to low double digit millions committed annually - and the discounts were basically like a sales tax holiday. Maybe the negoti

That's completely nuts - for 30PB you'll be paying like $1.5M per month for storage and compute, you could buy all the hardware for maybe $3-5M and rent space for it for like $50k per month.. over 3 years the same cluster would co

Yes, it seems like this move is to help combat the perception that Amazon employees are routinely burned out.

It's not quite as bad as Salesforce's "No Software" campaign. I wonder when Salesforce is going to go serverless so we can run no-software on our not-servers.

Giving a pile of money to the company you just decided to leave and another pile of money to the IRS gets old after a couple of times. How many lotto tickets do you buy every week?

Your statement rests on the assumption that taking a week to make trades where there is a non-market-maker buyer is worse because the market "might" move down. The market "might" also move up (and if it's true that

Why? because the bid/ask spread is bigger?

There are hundreds of what-ifs that influence which will be a better choice, IMO it's not clear cut that one technology is better enough for all situations that it'll crowd the other one out of the marketplace entirely.

I'm not an expert at any of this stuff and this math could very easily be wrong, but I just spent some time with Wolfram Alpha validating that claim. a 40,000 liter hydrogen truck can carry 425 gigajoules of liquid hydrogen; if it driv

Refueling time and storage equipment seems like major differences between hydrogen and battery. They both have slightly different use-cases that make different bets on future technology. Maybe one will win out or maybe both will play a role

To accept their explanation would be to accept that they went into this maintenance either with the intention of causing a several day long service outage or without knowledge that they would cause a service outage (i.e. something happened

I'm not a Sendgrid customer but their "warm up" answer here is totally insufficient. It strikes me as an attempt to spin a major outage as standard operating procedure, and as a result I'm not going to use their product

Police have been doing field sobriety tests that don't rely on chemical detection for a very, very long time. Examples: walk a straight line, follow the light with your eyes, close your eyes and tell me when 30 seconds have passed, sta

My experience presenting at maker faire is that you don't know where your booth is going to be until you show up on Friday morning. What would help is to know what section it's in and what the name of the booth will be.
