AWS is pushing Organizations/Accounts as something like GCP's Projects and it mostly works, cross account iam works pretty good, so does many other services but sadly this is not reflected in the support subscriptions. You want he

I don't think they do, most "office worker" computer resources are way over provisioned, at least in the developed countries. Does resource consumption matters to me? yes, but that is because I compile stuff, run VMs, do simu

I am not sure it is worth repeating, but as I said, the notion that "internet is scary smart" is only true for certain groups and topics, but not internet as general . That does not mean there is no "smart" forums or sm

Because in the context of consumers, that is what internet is, social media and forums (which are social media in my book). Bloggers and other professional reports are a different story.

I understand, but as you say, it is only true for certain topics, however, sadly, internet as a general is full of misinformation, disinformation, toxicity, and plain outright nonsense.

While it is true that certain circles of people on the internet are very smart in aggregate, I don't believe you can extend that to internet as general; Empirically, you can just have a look at the "general" trends on Faceboo

Won't take long for people to realize, unlike other "new" utilities like social media people, generally, have a reasonable grasp of the value of money and the risk of it, mostly because they have experienced it. relatively, v

> mitigates risk of being robbed This is very unlikely, in places with social unrest people get forced to go to bank withdraw cash, or even as far as sale goods to make the cash for gangster, making it digital will make zero difference.

DO is claimed to be "third-largest hosting company in the world in terms of web-facing computers", so that should give you an idea of how many customers they have.

Cloud/Hosting providers have startup programs that give you credit in the hope that you will stick around.

Apple have always had excellent Enterprise support on iOS, including "private apps" and what not. There is no reason to believe the same exception wouldn't be extended to Enterprise Devices and Apps.

Uber does not, iOS apps are sandboxed. Further more, if you use `canOpenURL` trick to check for anything but trying to fallback when you're actually trying to open the url/app, they will flag you during the review.

Australia is far from recession, but a global recession is as matter of time. The only way that the economy "grows" indefinitely is if it regularly dips, and that is exactly how it has been working since WWII, with dips/reces

Drivers are not exactly emotionally attached to Uber, you will be surprised how often they have multiple apps. I regularly see cars with at least two of Uber, Taxify, Ola signs in Sydney.

Defs, I used to use Uber until it become cheaper to drive and pay for carpark, and mind you, parking in Australia is extortionist.

Because on iOS they can't detect apps, as far as I know.

Maybe they make different models in USA vs Australia or probably we have a different standard of quality for the Tesla Model X price range. I find it rather flakey and poor.

I don't think so, most people buy Tesla based on their marketing, most people who actually enjoy driving prefer ICE, I have test driven Tesla and they feel nothing like a BMW M4 or a Mercedes C63 MG, it feels like driving a big go-kart

Putting a name on things helps. There is little reason to doubt that problem-gaming exists, sure, it is a manifestation of something more general (à la Behavioral-Addiction/OCD) but having a name for it helps to talk about it more prec
