   Ultra takes the advertised battery life to 36 hours, or 60 hours (utilizing a power saving mode). That’s about double what you could expect from Series 7.

   “that I didn't have a VPN connection running” Likely not telling you something you don’t already know, but many sites persist access logs and can answer “Which IPs accessed this account?” for a very long time indeed. If you’re using VP

   GP was likely aware of this but didn’t explicitly state why imminence was important. Where does it specifically say in the US Constitution that you’re allowed to incite violence? :-) Usually the answer here is going to be someone cites the

   Apparently AWS DynamoDB peaked at 105 million queries per second for a single tenancy this year, delivering Amazon’s Prime Day. Apples to oranges to be sure but >100x this scale for a single tenant of a multi-tenant database system is su

   I looked a bit at your comment history on HN, I get there’s an aspect of “Anonymous on the Internet”, but if your approach here [1] is remotely like your approach in the workplace and I got any signal of that in an interview context you’d b

    One person under you for 3-5 years with a four attritions in that period (this latest one being Person #5?) constitutes an incredibly high attrition rate. That’s worth introspecting on. Average tenure of under a year?!

    I suspect you come across as a bit “Jack of All Trades; Master of None”. On the systems administration side of things going from one system to a rack isn’t nothing, it’s an achievement, but a lot of employers paying £100k may have applicant

    “self host to reduce power consumption” isn’t entirely accurate, even within a leased environment at Equinix or using a typical ‘powered shell’ provider like Sabey, the larger providers will still be customizing heavily many aspects downstr

    Amazon has also expanded massively since 2018 and the additions are going to be equally secret in location terms, probably.

    I mean, this is Apple versus Orange, pun intended. In the case of camera sales they’re in a worldwide slump [1], and while Sony, Canon and Nikon are big and have adjacent and alternate revenue streams, it’s very plausible Apple invests more

    Elaine isn’t based in Seattle and got picked to be the UC TA (and she isn’t the only TA in the last few years to not be Seattle) so you’re not wrong, but “far more likely” seems a stretch.

    You can shoot light over SM at distances up to 200km (several important caveats at this distance) and it’s very usual to see spans of between 50-80km.

    As a small ISP you definitely can peer and many do, you just aren’t going to get settlement-free peering with any of the big eyeball networks like Comcast. Something like Seattle IX is a good example of where lots of peering sessions could

    I mean there are countless documented situations where U.S. law enforcement has dramatically overreached or misstepped, and personally, I’d prefer people who have cameras and microphones in my home to require the U.S. judiciary to review so

    But via the same argument, you are also free to look at Riot Games products and say "No thanks, I'm not willing to submit". I play some games like Valorant which use Ring 0 anti-cheat mechanisms, and to do this I have a Corsa

    Right now the option you’d usually use for 10G to the internet doesn’t say it supports RX-line servers. If you search for “10G dedicated uplink” and look in the rightmost column it covers what they will support requests on. I’ve successfull

    They might well be the cheapest though that’s not the claim. Approximately $170 USD per month for a system with a Q80-30 and 128GiB RAM plus unmetered/unlimited usage of a 1Gbps port is substantially less than all the cloud providers,

    Overthrowing the Government is such a tired 2A argument to make, you have an AR-15 legally, it isn’t going to work well against a tank, or an F35. You can have as many guns as you want, you are still hopelessly outgunned.

    By this logic, you believe Samsung Exynos will be competitive with Apple’s A16 when it launches later this year? If it’s all in the process size - you’d expect this to be true but I’m betting A16 will continue the trend of Apple Silicon bei

    They’re ruthlessly efficient at persecuting the Uyghurs as well. I’m not sure “ruthless efficiency” is actually that desirable in a government.

    What GP is saying is you can only get a note of 10% size of your trailing 12 months revenue, this is quite different to 10% APR.
