Twitter has global geo-political implications. Literally, a war could have broken out with Trump's account being hijacked. He just left Stripe, where he was responsible for a PCI environment. If anything, his last job he was "over

I've been waiting to upgrade my 2015 for 5 years now! It's funny, when I bought it I only went with 8GB ram because I figured I would replace it in 2 years-ish. It has served me well, but, it's struggling with only 8GB these

seems that Xfinity already does something similar, where by default, anyone can connect to your network as a guest (if they are an Xfinity customer themselves)

I would think a smart, driven person who is passionate about the topic would be more than happy to write this and spend a lot of time on it. Seems like his writing style.

Yes on the surface level it may look like that. But, he lives in Vancouver -- where boats are decently common as its surrounded by water, boats, and seaplanes. He clearly talks about the millions he left on the table at Amazon. If anything,

I think that was supposed to be OpenStack. It failed.

No. AWS has no access to your material, nor is there a code path where they could get it.

Digital Ocean Spaces doesn't have the same durability designs of S3. Or performance in terms of TPS. It's not apples to apples. DO is great for small personal projects, but, I wouldn't run a fortune 500 company on it.

It seems that the initial plan is that only "MacBooks" aka budget macs will have the ARM cpus. The Pros will remain x86....for who knows how long though.

Simple. To flex and show that he is untouchable and that nobody ever holds him accountable.

The Saudi Royal Family simply do not care and walk around with impunity. They thumb their nose at the law and the world order and think they deserve to do whatever they want. This is exactly the same as the Khagoshi execution where overwhel

No, that's what The Inquirer and others said as cover. There was no proof of that, and this article from the Guardian goes into those details as well.

There are lots of apples to oranges here. You can't compare say a Linode or Digital Ocean to an AWS/Azure. One of boxes for experimentation may make sense, I would not run prod though. Also, have you seen the network performance o

I'm not sure if there is a "law" around this, but, I assume nearly all contracts go over budget. Private or .gov. But, government contracts are pretty beholden to a tight, static budget. Once the money is gone, it's gone

Oh, I think he's political. I think he carefully tried not appearing that way though. My point is, I don't think he bought the Post to be political or political reasons. I think he bought The Post because he's a rich collecto

Haven't followed Bezos too closely, but, never thought of him to be a political person or saw anything where he made political comments. Buying the Washington Post certainly forced the world around him to see him as political...even if

It is for sure a lot. AWS wants it. Everyone wants it. But, it is a maximum of $10Billion ...over 10 years. Th at is the key thing to focus on. I'm sure both companies have private sector customers right now that pay a quarter to half-

Amazon is firmly planted in NYC and are hiring thousands upon thousands. They just will sit in Manhattan and not Queens. Also, the contract is going to the largest company in the world now...isn't that just "same same"?
