Could you address the insurance and workers compensation issue? Does your husbands auto insurance have a maximum payout? Otherwise we as a society will end up picking up the unpaid medical bills over that amount. There are many others, but

Did he collect unemployment, which he does not pay into, during Covid? What is the max payout for his insurance as we’ll need to cover the rest since he is not covered by workers compensation? I could go on, but the point isn’t to protect h

You realize most engineers write software that runs in production on x86 Linux, right? All that performance is going to be used to run cloud based Linux x86 development environments. Repl.it and Github codespaces are the real winners with t

These articles about illegal drugs being miracle cures is just as bad as the fringe diet posts. Fortunately the diet posts seem to have died down but these persist. How is this anything intellectual? It’s just conspiracy theory level pseudo

Protip: Only do the temporary change. It still lasts like 6 months so it would cover practically everything. You could potentially miss something later but for me it’s a solid trade.

Does this in some way end up in an anti-trust vertical integration situation? Dockerhub runs on AWS infrastructure to begin with. Is this similar enough to the railroad company undercutting the freight company that uses their railroad track

PG&E is kind of public. We just structure it in a way that it’s technically private. This has a lot of clever tricks like the fact that if it loses a ton of money it can go bankrupt without the state of California going bankrupt or havi

I think Balmer takes a lot of the blame that should probably be directed more towards the board. Balmer was doing exactly what they asked him to do and had he made the type of decisions Satya is making, they would have replaced him with a m

I would disagree in the specific case of AWS. We have not seen such an egregious abuse of open source software with any other company. Most companies that make use of a large amount of opensource actually contribute a fair amount back. Like
