Can't imagine the pressure he is under, but also can't see how this is remotely appropriate for someone in his position. Reminds me of that time he cut off that analyst during the earnings report. If the accusation he made has som

Large companies actually enforce this fairly well. For instance, there is software on employees' computers which will hard shutdown the computer after a couple warnings. Companies which offer transport for employees have curtailed bus

What do you think would be a more appropriate response for someone in his position?

Edge DCs only have one type of machine (1E) and no block storage, but I think are otherwise the same. Even in core DCs though the availability of different types of machines varies. Love packet.net btw -- the bgp stuff is really game changi

Was it botched? I'm not sure the intention was to ever run Motorola as a going concern. After selling the cable/home biz, cash on hand, deferred taxes, and selling the phone biz to Lenovo, they lost just $3.5B. But they kept all o

I'm not sure if I agree. One can rationally argue that the death penalty for murderers is unjust, while at the same time maintaining that coaching people on how to murder without penalty is disturbing and wrong.

Well, it is one thing to make the statement that penalties for the possession of such material are unjust. There are several compelling arguments to make for that case. On the other hand, it is deeply disturbing that this guy is publishing

You might remember that the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon Bombing were Chechen. I say this not because I think we should screen Chechens more thoroughly now, but because your original appeal to profiling at the border is provably inef

Actually you do get them all at once I believe! The current mechanism is a lottery which is executed in early April. It could be replaced with an auction as you propose.

I wonder how they are coming up with the region names? Most are cities (Sao Paolo, Frankfurt), some are countries (Ireland), some regions (N. Virginia, Oregon). This new region is unique in that is does not refer to an actual place, and tha

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't saying that there wasn't some targeted attack on their infrastructure. Even if there was though, isn't it incumbent on DT to provide a level of infrastructure that is resilient to these

and it could not rule out "targeted external factors" as the reason Yes, and DT could also not rule out extra-terrestrial interference. But who cares? It seems any large-scale enterprise incident is blamed on some other ne

I don't think the parent is saying that Trump is literally Hitler, but rather that his rhetoric targeting specific minorities is alarmingly similar to that of Hitler's and his National-Socialist party during their rise to power. N

What about AMP prevents ad blocking? Wouldn't blocking be trivial since all ads are in a special AMP/HTML element (<amp-ad>)?

On taxes, I'm sure somebody on HN knows better than me, but you are rarely 'double-taxed' under 200k as you say. The first 90k or so is exempt, plus any foreign tax you pay you can claim as a non-refundable deduction on your

I might be wrong, but I don't suspect that forex plays a large part. The NHL has both a salary cap and a salary floor (the cap -$16M) denominated in USD. Further, between 2009 and just earlier this year, the CAD was at par or stronger
