That was definitely for their benefit of their workers rather than the greater society, and on the whole doesn't seem much different than the larger Silicon Valley companies of today. Take Facebook for example. They have a large utop

Because in most other examples the decisions it makes have a virtually hidden effect. However in the case of the battery issue, the performance degradation was _very_ noticeable, causing years of comments on Apple intentionally obseleting o

This is no surprise, it was always going to be Virginia, or somewhere else in the east coast tech corridor. The whole "city competition" has been a grand scheme by Amazon to get cities (mostly those in the aforementioned area) to

Can I ask, what makes that setup "not cloud" vs Amazon S3? Amazon doesn't make public their hardware setup, merely that they offer various "9s" of reliability against data loss. What if, for arguments sake, Amazon&#

By putting your drive in a safe, you now have to unlock it, take it out, plug it in, sync, unplug it, and lock it away. Which is a hassle if you want to stick to regular (hourly? daily?) backups. It is proven that if you introduce friction

In my view it's a longer term proposition to gain more customers for Azure/Microsoft Cloud. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon all see the future of computing as being in the cloud. If Microsoft can integrate Azure and GitHub to make i

The entirely of the east coast main line (Run by Virgin Trains East Coast) runs a 50-50 split of HST 125 and 225's. The HST 125's have this "handle on the outside, lean out of the window configuration". They are due to b

I've read the copy on the site, the comments here, then went through to the code repository, and still don't really know what this project is or what its meant to do.

I suppose that's when you get quietly asked to participate in pat down or search. Traditional security scanners (and even "modern" airport fully body scanners) suffer the same flaw, requiring the person to be pulled aside and

I currently run Cassandra inside a container. The data is on an EBS volume, attached to the instance through CloudFormation at stack creation time, and mounted through a systemd unit defined in UserData (Also through CloudFormation). It is

No, Fargate is just a container target, like EC2 is. You manage the containers with ECS (Or the newly announced Kubernetes equivalent). They are placed on either EC2 instances or somewhere inside Fargate.

Well, with the Google AIY kit, as it's Raspberry Pi based, you have the ability to do what you want with the hardware. It's really just a microphone and speaker on top of it. At some point you could run offline models to take voic

Fargate is more analogous to EC2 than ECS or EKS. Fargate is a placement target for containers, just like EC2 instances in a cluster would be. You use ECS and EKS to define and schedule tasks/containers on a placement target. The prima

They announced that too, "AWS Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes", or EKS as they call it. This is different, this is where your containers run, not for managing the containers. You can use either ECS or EKS for scheduling c

I've always seen the CRUD aspect of an application more of a reference to the aspects of the public facing API, rather than the architecture or implementation of the service in an application.

No, it shows Twitter partnering with a media organisation. I'm willing to bet Twitter offered similar deals to many other media outlets, both US and abroad. Twitter does nothing to promote biased reporting in this, merely that RT shoul

The presentation specifically promotes unbiased political reporting. In addition, many media organisations promote themselves as the go-to place for political reporting. They proposed a partnership with an organisation they hoped would buy

I'm not sure I see what RT is attempting to say about Twitter here. That they offered them promoted content, ad-buy discounts, custom emojis, etc, in exchange for an ad-buy of a certain amount. This doesn't seem like anything othe

The "serverless" in this context means that they may as well be invisible to you, since you don't need to care about them. In the case of Lambda, you upload your code somehow Amazon runs it on a spare server somewhere. Langua

Well, if individual people raised a PR to update the time every minute, they would have essentially made a distributed time mechanism. Need some kind of quorum/consensus algorithm in order to handle duplicate PR's though.

Yes, it was the 33rd annual Chaos Communication Congress (To prefix "C3" with the number is the chosen nomenclature, ie. "33C3". I've never seen the "CCC" prefix used in the wild).

There is no "one size" fits all database or distributed system in existence. To say that there is is to say that MySQL is equally as well suited to all use cases as Cassandra or Redis. They all store and serve data, right? Cassand

He is correct though, it's even in the sentence you quoted: "...single-purpose functions that respond to cloud events..." They are meant to react to events within your infrastructure, rather than being public facing applicati

While you are correct, the concern to which you have responded to is by no means the community's primary one. Yes, it is true Apple rejected the app due to private API's. It was against the rules to use those API's, and Apple
