Well, exactly that. They can open a million sockets a second. Handling that many requests is entirely different bulpark. You have to account for a lot other factors: transaction types, server loads, what kind of rampup the load had,

I look into it every few months actually. It always turns out to be substantially more expensive. The disk performance in vms also either arent there, or are just too pricey. Another part of the story is that if you roam the local sell foru

That is not the point. The stomach will stay empty, but money will be spent. This is not gmo research, this is screwing the people that can't buy organic food.

There is something wrong with the food industry. When I was growing up, they taught us that we eat veggies because when they are fully mature, all the nutrients are there and good for us. Somehow, they found out how to make them look ready

If anything it was good for the overall good of our ecosystem. People coded it, used it, built with it. We all are in a better place knowledge and experience wise. New languages generally are good.

Nothing. Unless you think rust will become the next c++, and the world will move to it en masse, in which case people still won't rewrite most of the old libraries to it. At best people can hope that somebody comes up with a neat impor

I don't see us in disagreement then. I took the IOT one as illustration. But even the current project, isn't that big, and they do want properly done job.

That is just what gets most advertisement time these days. It sells well as a news item. AI, ML, self driving cars. But, when you have to ship 50k IOT devices and they have to be under $20. Your bosses will squeeze you for every ounce of op

Why not. It's not like HR/given department pays for your trips out of their salaries. They just want to have the headcount for an interview. Edit: From the people around me, and the companies I've been, big companies like tha

It's probably the fact you still haven't finished the degree. Requisitions tied to Univ level requirements etc. Even if they don't say anything, hr at companies of Amazon caliber will most likely discriminate you on that.

Ah, so, if Google analytics/Adsense isn't there to fingerprint the visitor, doubleclick will fill that gap now?

Probably not. There are always the crazy few percent of us that want to work. The rest are just forced to work to survive. Overall, the humanity may be happier.

Perspectives for Firefox does this. But Google rotates their certs, this effectively disabling the approach and forcing most users to trust anything 'Google'.

Regardless of your personal opinion, the law and the historical record state otherwise. To answer your later questions: Too many essential services under one umbrella. Not quite. It's competition stifling. Yes. Yes.

People use VMs, print stuff on paper, have 10'' laptops, etc.

The grid would probably be there, non functional. It takes a lot of effort to maintain and you can't just exclude some capacity and hope the rest works.

But, it provides a dead easy way to publish a research work, claim insane speedups, and not worry about disk journals, caches, in flight data corner cases when VM is snapshoted, etc.

They are heavily vested in money guiding them in a given direction based on who likes them. On paper they are free speech, in reality, they are tightly bounded where they found themselves, and afraid to threaten the bottom line.

You are missing the point. Companies are offering jobs and thus in a position of power.

We did not evolve in isolation, or cope well with it. Find your tribe, whatever it may be, and you'll be happier.

They can exit, but they would lose the richer part that stayed to trade in and buy their goods. It's a mess. The private creditors will probably want the opposite of exit, stability and more money, so they would be against any exits.

It's all confusing. From another part of the article: "TACC allows the vehicle adjust its speed based on the car ahead, decelerating or accelerating as needed." So... it will decelerate, unless you are about to crash, then it
