I'm not sure how much you've read WSJ editorial pages, but many of their pieces involve a lot of research. As a recent case (I forget the exact article), but I was listening to a podcast of a man that recently had a commentary pi

Does any cloud provider provide a blanket "all released features will be supported for X years" to all users without a contract (as part of the terms)? I have never looked into other cloud providers, so I honestly don't know

Saturn had a great business model and I'm sad that they went under in 2009. There was no negotiating the price of a new car, which tended to make the relationship with the car salesman a bit better. (my mom sold cars for 20+ years, Sat

Probably the scaling aspect of k8s autopilot is the only part that is similar. The rest looks similar to functionality provided by other tools internally. But likely they shared little in common.

Too many laws also hamper innovation. Trying to prevent something from happening that hasn't proven to be an issue yet can get in the way of things that are actually good but potentially get caught on a law that gets used against peop

It's a poor legal argument, but seems like a solid civics arguments. Sadly they aren't trying to appeal to the public or lawmakers, they are trying to appeal to the judge, so it seems like wasted effort.

For those that don't know, Holman Jenkins is an opinion pages columnist for WSJ. This is not the news side. He's also probably one of my favorite writers at the WSJ. He has done a lot of writing on energy policy and climate change

I agree that it doesn't prevent it. Traversing a graph is a simple compsci problem, but optimizing it is more complicated. My guess is that it prevent caching of folder sizes, so any size checks require full graph walks, which are no

I disagree. Pop-up fatigue causes people to just click the button that will get them to their content the fastest. While some people might dive into trying to opt out, when you get these pop-ups on every other site, many people are going to
