In a certain way, yes. A quick search on Amazon shows I can get a 1TB SD Card for $150-300. However, the rated speeds are in the 100-200 MB/s range rather than the over 2GB/s for Apple's 2020 MacBook Air (never mind the faste

It looks like Apple is trending back to ports and I think that will continue in the future. It looks like the 13" MacBook Pro will be phased out in the near future (over the next 6-12 months) and I'd guess that the next MacBook Ai

The problem here is that I don't know what the limits are to communicate them to others. In the UI, I can design a free email and export it. The UI doesn't allow me to remove the BEE attribution, but I could easily remove it after

Hi! This looks really cool and I like that you've published/presented at VLDB. I'm a little curious why AWS is free/cheap, but anything other than AWS ends up in the "Enterprise, contact us for pricing" bucket.

The question I have around Google's CPU ambitions is what their end game is. I understand Apple's end game. They sold lots of iPhones and wanted to in-house the chips for that. Makes sense. Once they had that working well (and Int

This is a genuine question: why do you think they’ll do well and how well do you think they’ll do? They’re already starting out at 10% of Tesla’s market cap and a valuation higher than most auto companies. Let’s say they become the next Tes

I definitely understand that Cloudflare Workers are likely to be unsatisfying as a Lambda replacement for people who want to use a language like Python. I think there is a decent reason why Cloudflare, at least initially, went the route tha

The way I read it is that for low-scale users, they're not going to have request pricing. For higher-scale users, "R2 will charge significantly less per-operation than the major providers". AWS charges $0.0004 per thousand GE

The distinction is that a penalty paid to the government is getting put toward the public's use and not toward the private enrichment of an individual (or small group of individuals). If a cop pulls me over and I offer to pay him a &qu

It's so aggravating on the Android side. While a Motorola One 5G Ace might not be a flagship, it came out in 2021 and I'm stuck on Android 10. I don't know if Motorola (who says I should expect Android 11) is the issue or if
