Why do you use RIs and not sign orgs up for savings plans? I know RIs are still supported though I'd heard they're intended to be deprecated by SPs (my source could be wrong)

Oops, I need to learn to read more closely -- the RIs are no upfront so it's a slightly less good deal.

I'd assume they have volume discounts or negotiated rates with Amazon that bring that point forward. There's an entire sub industry of billing partners who are profitable enough just offering eg 8% off retail prices. In my experie

This is unfortunate because a couple of attempts get _so close_. You've got public docker repositories, terraform, aws service catalog (or cloudformation), all of which could fill this gap directly or via their own services if they had

This is a widespread problem. A close friend went through a similar experience collaborating at another supposedly reputable Canadian university. He reported the academic dishonesty (copies of figures from another paper presented as new e

You can be threatened or sued for pretty much anything - if they care, are bought by someone who cares (ie Disney) or in the future start caring then you might be sued. Whether it goes anywhere or whether you win is a different matter. Tra

There are plenty of service limits which you need to request to have lifted. This is a common enough use case that there's an entire console section for requesting increases. SES has a sandbox mode which you need to explicitly disable

The fourth stage doesn't even involve owning your own infrastructure. We pay a 3rd party for our AWS (and Azure) usage to get better rates than AWS would give us (and without a commitment to increased spend like AWS reps have tried to

That's certainly one way to get the expertise that they need in house to remain competitive (and to ensure their own supply) - certainly if rumors about their current capabilities being less than stellar are correct. It'll be an i

Looks like they bought and sold the safemoon defi token (bought really low, sold [comparatively] high)

I'd personally be in favor of some sort of travel bubble within the pacific with other countries who share our low/zero local transmission (or at least to have a more lightweight quarantine process involved). That said, my point w

FWIW, Australia had 23 local cases in the last month (an outbreak which resulted in a major city going into a snap lockdown). Australia and NZ's risk profiles are different from pretty much anywhere else in the world right now. On tha

Never seeing A is IMO a bit of a red flag. A+C is probably the most common where I'm at (enterprise SaaS), though its usually with management's knowledge/understanding. We wind up rushing something out to meet the client&#x2

You convince them in the same way you'd convince them of anything they're unsure of or against. Give them a reason that they care enough about and make it painless enough and they may follow. Listen to their concerns and try to f

As an interviewer and decision maker around hiring engineers, there is zero legitimate reason to make the candidate feel like an idiot for not knowing something. It's easy enough to clarify what they're saying, and if there'

Do your users consent to contact before you send them reminders or coupons? If not, you've earned your bounce rate.

It's about priorities. I wouldn't necessarily make all the same choices I made in the past or recommend it. I've sacrificed some health, aged more than I would've otherwise, missed out on social events, lost relationsh

Maybe it could show "Canada - Wikipedia" like the page authors intended as a title. Maybe if the page authors want to have links between languages, they could code that in a standard markup language themselves. These aren't

This may be true while searching for product market fit, but once you hit a certain (small but stable) size, your ability to identify what your existing and future customers currently want, and will in the near to mid future want goes up. T

What community though? There are three groups that use the site - employers, employees who want to vent and job seekers. The first are captive, the second only allowed to post once per year, and the third is ideally a very temporary situat

Everything about Glassdoor is a bit bizarre to me. I'm really surprised that it took 800 people and $200m to build. I'm even more amazed that someone's willing to part with $1.2B for what is effectively a digital BBB clone wi

They'll probably fight that as much as they can, because it's not in _their_ best interests. Raw data will likely make what happened appear easy to stop, particularly if they were capturing LIDAR at the time and (assuming no negl

I'm an Australian who lived in Canada for a while. Banking was one of the huge surprises there - I'd get paid with cheques, and to move large sums of money between accounts with different institutions quickly needed to go to a br

It's a shame that people don't see glassdoor for what it probably is - just another shakedown racket (like yelp, tripadvisor, BBB etc).

The biggest single problem is that businesses accept data as identity, but then are allowed place the consequences of that (improperly confirmed) identity on individuals. Currently they get the best of both worlds (all of the benefits of t

How would you be able to tell what the balance on the stick is without power? How would you be able to calculate the current value in fiat, if you had power but no internet? For that matter, how could you verify that someone hadn't tra

It sounds to me like an operation intended to employ some skilled engineers in order to keep them away from working on Google's competitors. I don't see a lot of outreach or organisational support, but maybe it is there and my cu
