What does it mean: "if we left today we could only reach one third of it"? I couldn't find a the limiting factor... The stars would be dead before we arrived? My best guess. Of course, the qualification would be that we conti

Cloud run looks cool, but doesn't seem to support databases ? Unless it supports linked containers? I like that it's a mix of AWS lambda scaling with more open environments... Though it's hard to read through the marketing...

Tagging is simple*. The real killer is the things you can't tag, like bandwidth. Be sure to use multiple AWS accounts if you want to split bills (or at least track bills) to sub-groups like per department. Give each of these groups the

Not all employees can communicate by text or voice alone. Body language is very important to a lot of people when communicating... I prefer video calls, though I don't require it.. but you can't easily tell an employee is having a

I do, I just believe that level of pay is at higher levels of the company more often. Not everyone at those companies gets that level of compensation. In addition, My argument was trying to point out that there's multiple levels to thi

This all being said, I'm a generally happy AWS admin... What happened really can't be blamed squarely on anyone... AWS can't show us a bill since they don't bill us.. the 3rd party probably could have helped with the bil

Not from reinvent, but similar bill latency problem ... Many government agencies have to go through 3rd parties ("lowest qualified bidder", which AWS often doesn't bid on) to pay our bill... And the contractors themselves use

See my other comment on this thread, it's not just about the money... it's about the cost of living. Making $100k+/year now is "easy" in the tech sector, move to any of the major cities. Unfortunately homes cost $75

In order to make the large dollars (middle income wise) you need good training or education (or experience, but that doesn't typically apply for <30). This education gives skills that typically require living in populated areas beca

That's my argument for internet everywhere to. You physically can't have work from home employees if, in 2019, they have to pick between 3Mbps or a 25GB data cap. And if more people worked remotely, stress on large cities is reduc

Thank you. I would love to read these sources when I'm able to!

Not a medic/doctor, but I would assume higher pressure would result in pushing blood out of your system faster. This probably offsets gains

Security through obscurity is not effective in the sense that dedicated attackers, or those with large amounts of resources can _eventually_ crack the code. It gets such bad attention because people NOT in the security field (or aware of se

An interesting read, but the dollar figure is author guesswork. I appreciate this kind of digging into web behaviour though.

A house down the street from where I grew up costs $650,000 for 1500 sq ft on a sixth of an acre. Meanwhile I was offered $55k with 2 years experience. There is also a massively crappy public transit system that lets me commute 4 hours&#x2F

The money to pay people comes from loans, which are thousands of people hoping they make more money in the future to pay salaries today. If salaries were higher, tuition would be even more difficult and raise the loans even more. Really uni

Paying employees more is not profit-centric... I'm not sure about your argument here .. University athletics is certainly a profit center, but research and general operations is devoid of cash, even at R1 institutions. I struggle to fi

If the meaningful work you want to do is in education or environment... There is basically no well paying jobs. There's no business profit in clean water or air, so capitalism doesn't cover the need. The fact there might be no cus

I don't see the deviation from FCC test definition it regulations. Regulation: * distance for test no greater than 25mm * MUST NEVER exceed radiation limit. They tested below 25mm and found it broke the limit. They then put it into &qu

The events of climate change are well documented. The fact the media distorts the message, or that right wing media latches onto the 2 people in the field that are funded by oil companies doesn't really change that. Look at warning ten
