He obviously meant $0.01/GB for the first TB, pricing $0.001/GB for the next four TB, etc., without the discontinuities, just like your taxes.

I think this is why VPNs have such a poor reputation among the tehnically literate. We're used to security where every aspect is goverened by strong cryptography that's difficult for state actors to break (e.g. SSH, TLS). There ma

The individual transistors that are used for the LNA and power amplifier stages of these transceivers usually sell for tens to low hundreds of dollars a piece in single unit quantities. A good design will probably use 4-10 of them, dependin

This is exactly what the doctor parrots back at me. Again, these are outcome statistics for the general population. I'm well aware of these numbers, but I am not an average patient. I'm not going to look at the outcome of a single

I'm so fucking tired of this perspective. Yes, it's technically correct. Many of us have done the canonical "cancer screening false positive / false negative" example demonstrating the problem in a statistics class.

All of these quotes are from business/sales/marketing people, not from developers actually using the language, and about a third of the people quoted have clearly mistaken it for Java.

A public health / pandemic expert should know that "quarantining" 3000 people on a cruise ship only gets you from 10 cases to 3000 cases. It's a leaky, filthy sieve with 3000 bodies and no isolated airflow.

One problem at a time. I don't think it's a good idea to toss in an ambitious redesign of the internet name system when it's not even clear that we can get everybody to agree to just stare down ICANN.

To be clear, I don't think it will come to this. But right now, ICANN believes that they can get away with anything, and have started to act on that belief. We should begin the process of scaring them back on track. Start brainstorming

This is not going to end. ICANN has revealed their hand -- they are corrupt. But we don't actually need them. What we do need is a "Let's Encrypt" style initiative to replace the DNS roots in their entirety, run by compe

This is also why dogs stare directly into your eyes as they poop. They're vulnerable, and you're their lookout. Might also be why they come into the bathroom or wait by the door when you're doing your business.
