That is very likely a display issue and they round up way way too much in that table. In the Pricing Example they use $0.0000125 per Core, which would make it ~33$ for a month for a single core, and double that if you include 1 GB of memory

So we can discuss it in a constructive manner, for example by pointing out what makes this pseudo-science and why it might be not the worst idea anyway. Like other commenters have done, and I enjoyed reading their arguments.

Some people try to explain the actual physical effect of acupuncture with the small trauma and inflammation that the body has to deal with in the punctured area. So being extremely sterile would be counter-productive if that is true.

I feel like thinking about it as "200M USD" is not helpful when talking about the source of that "money". I'm sure the amount of "fresh" USD that where recently exchanged to a crypto-currency only to parti

As far as I have understood it, this is mostly a result of overbuild infrastructure. They planned the capacity of some central pipes and sewers in a time where modern water saving technology wasn't yet used as much or even invented, be

My backup contains files and old versions of files I no longer have on the primary storage. It is much more than a 1:1 copy, and can not be recreated. I need to feel safe that I can reasonably undo my changes on the primary storage, even if

That is nothing new though. So in the boundaries of what this statistic actually measures, the number improved. The "real" statistic isn't a secret either and published at the same time by the same agency for everyone to see.

If you build a product on an API you don't control, you'd better always have some realistic contingency plans on hand. A years notice is probably one of the easiest cases to handle out of the many scenarios that might force you to

I agree that the typical NAT or SDN setup around container networking could impact performance or at least require additional resources. But I don't see how that would be any worse on EC2 compared to bare metal or any other hypervisor&

Could you elaborate on why containers don't perform on EC2? I'm not running that combination myself so I wouldn't really know, but I'm not aware of problems with that specific combination or can think of anything obvious

What do you think about the Thinkpad 13? I could get far better internals for my budget, and while the build quality seems slightly lower I think it's fine.

Not anytime you want, but anytime the contract allows. The expectation is that a company is much more aware of the risk tied to a contract it enters (f.e. by having it examined by a legal department, requiring the supplier it wants to buy s

I don't have the exact quote, but it was definitely state somewhere that the device purchase includes access to the cloud service for the device lifetime. So for $99 you clearly bought not only a device, but also the required service.

Why prevent others from reading the file? I guess mainly to avoid them reading mid-update in an inconsistent state. But preventing the read completely until you are done writing the file is arguably also not "consistent", the read
