Yes, it is very likely Fooljitsu and Crapita consultants manage to convince them that existing systems do not comply with the relevant laws, and propose an in-house system. I have worked in software consultancy myself. The problem is that t

How often does their IT fail? Outsourced to Crapita or Fooljitsu by any chance? With Google Docs/Office 365 the last time I lost a full document is years ago now. I am old enough to have stored my laptop in the fridge when writing my P

The best choice might be to avoid the places recommend by Google as everyone will be there. The current AI is not clever enough to handle crowd control.

As far as I am aware there is no easy to set up open source FAAS framework. At least with Kubernetes there are a million and one tutorials, and there is a large support community.

But you would still need a boatload of a hundred unique VMS to run your serverless functions, right? If you have a big enough SRE team to manage your serverless stack, economy of scale means that development teams utilising these can reduce

Self-hosted FaaS is only worth it if you are at the same size as Meta. If smaller companies do this, it would be a big red flag for me.

Companies like Microsoft already had internal build servers for Windows. From Wiki: "In 1994, Grady Booch used the phrase continuous integration in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications (2nd edition)[8] to explain how,

This classic short-termism is all too common in software engineering. The reputational damage and likely compensation will exceed by far the costs of identifying and fixing these bugs. However, the CTO at the time has long moved on, and lik

On dating websites women mostly target the top 10% in terms of looks and attractiveness. That suggests kindness isn't high on their wishlist. However, getting yourself a dog and going for morning runs does get you approached by eligibl

It is a complex issue that would require an essay to answer. However, in this specific case, avoiding buying a car because you don't like the CEO, it doesn't make a difference. Most CEOs are psychopaths.

It's reported that Tesla vehicles have an average of 171 mechanical issues per 100 vehicles. For reference, the average number for most automakers hovers around 120 problems per 100 vehicles. Yes EVs should be more reliable on paper, b

It is about the number of mechanical issues per hundred vehicles and on that metric Tesla scores appallingly. https://www.topspeed.com/tesla-reliability-and-repair-costs-... .

I don't like Musk, but I am also under no illusion that CEOs of other major car companies are any better. They may just hide their opinions a little better than Musk. The reality is that Tesla aren't very good cars from both relia

Tesla's consistently score low on reliability and are expensive to repair. I would love an EV but place a high weight factor on reliability.

No, just no. K8s shouldn't be used to host database systems. Its main function is micro services. Cloud provider provide managed versions of Postgres that are highly available. Even if you self host, Kubernetes isn't the answer.

Salesforce storage is about 1000 times more expensive than regular storage, so might not be the best example. Data volume and Salesforce also don't belong in the same sentence, as it is not comparable to the data volume a basic Postgre

OFAC(Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions are clear-cut and they can issue very large fines for non-compliance. These sanctions have been in place for a while now. It sounds like someone flagged this to their legal department, who th

This higher mass would mean that any collision with a lighter vehicle could be very serious. European regulators would just need one look at the cars specs, and would dismiss it outright.

It boils down to pedestrian safety, not the external radius. The high bonnet and bumper mean that a pedestrian would likely be hit by the ultra-hard stainless steel structure of the front bumper and bodywork, where the grille would traditio

The current models are static, they do not get modified by self learning. Unless someone already build in a Skynet backdoor, we are safe. ...and I am hoping all nuclear missiles are air gapped anyway...

You can use multiple availability zones and if needed even multi cloud. If you own the hardware, you do regularly need to test the UPS power supply to ensure there is a graceful fail over in case of a power outage. Unless of course, you buy

It is not unlikely an AWS to GCP migration would have saved them significant money too, in the sense that they likely reviewed and right sizes different systems. I also would love to see a comparison done by a financial planning analyst to
