I see they are following the precedent set by the 'Watch' and simply calling this 'Bag'. Bravo Apple, bravo!

are any of the Amazon Data Centers located in ERCOT? Not that I could find in a quick search?

perhaps AWS as a whole has a reasonable constant electric load. The price per MWh fluctuates during "on-peak" and "off-peak" hours. The price really goes up when you accidentally need more power during peak demand. I&#

yep and being a generator will probably give them direct access to this market. I'm wondering if turning some of the AWS computing power toward playing the energy market isn't some of the motivation here.

The question is not can I shout, rather should I shout. I shant hazard a kerfuffle in the nursery, or disruption in the conservatory.

The ad-hoc instant intercom is also a HUGE win. In the 50s and 60s, all the fancy houses on TV had an intercom (didn't the Brady Bunch?). The intercom seemed to just fade away. However, I would MUCH rather say "Alexia, tell upst

Amazon may just be the 800lb gorilla that has enough man-hours and computing power to finally integrate all the disparate APIs into a single platform. And their device doesn't cost very much

Yes the leadership should be criticized. My point it is a brainwashing tool. My comment probably did not properly convey the nuanced and subtle ways of mind control. It goes more like this when expanded: "You cannot ever criticize o

BTW, I am supportive of the troops, and I think that the total cost of war is not calculated. If we are not prepared to shoulder the burden of our military troops after they return, then we did not have the capital to go to war in the firs

Exactly, and exactly why it works so well. If you question "the troops" including why they were sent there to begin with, then you are easily labeled "unpatriotic" and your ideas are immediately dismissed. It is a very e

Agree. And at the same time Americans have been inundated with "war" and the pro-Nationalist message that we should always, ALWAYS, 1) support our troops no matter what and 2) never forget. The fear-mongering is rampant and relen

I think this is most indicative of poor management. The "real" problem is the not the tech providers, but the tech managers. What I've experienced is that many of the tech managers either 1) couldn't hack it to begin wi

I feel ya. After I got married and had a kid my time to learn and experiment was greatly reduced. Now I have a couple of hours on Saturday morning that I reserve as "Dad Time" where I spend time working on my pet projects and try

Skills pay the bills. Many of the over-40 crowd I've worked with just plain don't want to learn anything new. They have settled, and are passive in their learning. This is the #1 reason they won't be relevant.

I think 'Python vs C ...' and 'Python vs C++ ...' are different questions. Much like 'C vs C++ in embedded systems' is its own topic.

Supply and demand amiright? Otherwise we might be branded as gasp socialists! There really isn't any good answer to this, and there will be losers in either scenario.
