One of the most important parts about this is that they applied backpressure to the load balancing process: > We also decided that if a provider is slow to deliver messages, measured in the same way as before, we would reduce their share

There is nothing unrealistic about economies of scale. I bet the phones we have in our pockets are 10x as complicated to make as a ventilator. Yet they are a quarter of the price. For something like this to work the government needs to have

What would you recommend then? Dockerfiles are super useful in a source code repository and has saved me a ton of time.

I just brought up a fresh version of Asterisk. There is definitely a lot of terms to get use to but for someone who has some background it isn't too bad to pick up. However I can see how confusing the world of telephony can be with all

It's all about marketing and perception. See how credit card companies set rules regarding surcharges and cash. Before credit card companies tried to prevent a discount being offered if a customer paid cash as stipulation for taking cr

The US did the same thing with a lot of our natural resources in the past century. it does seem somewhat hypocritical to not let other countries do what we have previously done. What we did was wrong but it also allowed the US to grow to wh

This article is really buried but fantastic. It makes a lot of sense that knowledge workers and wages are really driving the prices.

Our public bathroom facilities are pretty sparse compared to some in other countries. Taiwan for instance has fantastic public restrooms in every subway stop.

Being able to test your code out in the real world and dark launch a feature gives Tesla a ridiculous advantage. No other company has the infrastructure to be able to do that. Plus they can even tell if the decision the neural net made was

This definitely sounds like a bug. docker volume prune says: "Remove all unused local volumes. Unused local volumes are those which are not referenced by any containers" If it removed a local volume that was being used by a contai

And exactly why it makes it a good business move. That kid will do more "marketing" than any ad they buy. And surely lead to more conversions.

I love grocery outlet. I actually inquired about how to franchise one and they are serious about who gets to open one. The capital requirements are around 1MM to get started.

One thing that is annoying is that ARIN recently raised the amount of money it costs to maintain a /24. I was unexpectedly hit with a $500 bill when previous prices were $100. Was quite annoying considering is very little cost in provi

It comes down to what the goal was of the program. Was it to issue $700MM and incentivize people to go into public service? If so then it really did fail if they only managed to dole out $10MM or so. I would think the end goal would be that

I think you nailed it when you mentioned how it is a risk/reward type of play. Senior devs are expensive and if you are willing to gamble there is a chance you can get a really solid dev for way below market price. However you have to

Sure the company realized that the patents are not really worth as much as they were originally paying. So developer decides not to bother which makes sense. I don't think it is narcissistic but I do think the developer has to be caref
