I think one of the benefits of cloud is (in theory) the agility that it brings. So much is abstracted away that you truly can start to focus on what's more important to your business. There's a cost to that value. So for example,

Fascinating graph. However, the methamphetamine measures for economic harm and crime seem intuitively off (undercooked). I've seen people on speed and they are often not fun to be around.

You underestimate the amount of interstate traffic here, especially on the east coast. The real reason we squelched transmission was the highly unpopular but rigorously enforced state border closures. That is a political and economic choice

Firstly, population density of the whole country is irrelevant. Population density of urban centres (e.g. Sydney + Melb > 10M pop.), is comparable if not greater than many cities in the US. We are largely self-sufficient for most food st

To the above commenters, Git is also used in enterprise scenarios with private, semi-private repos that enforce corporate user auth. My initial comment was dumb and deserved downvotes, but all git usage isn't the git usage you know of.

While laws like the Price-Anderson Nuclear Indemnity Act [0] are still in place, good. While it could never be proven, my suspicion is that this law has done more to hinder the adoption of newer, safer nuclear power plant designs over the y

Another approach here is for the streaming services to tweak their takedown algorithms - if they detect a police officer in the video don’t automatically take down the video. Lobbying for this is probably themost likely to yield results. Po
