ULA does pay better... but after a certain threshold the pay doesn't matter compared to what you're working on / accomplishing. I think Google captured this really well: https://rework.withgoogle.com/blog&#x2F

My xbox one is a significantly better experience than the Apple TV. Despite what I've ready in other comments I actually find the software to be borderline unusable and very unpolished. For instance on setup I entered the same apple ac

Even the things Snowden revealed required various industries to cooperate with the NSA. They weren't doing it on their own. Most portions of it were even designed and maintained by contractors! The people that work for these agencies a

Agreed; people overestimate the technological expertise of the U.S. Govt. -- in my anecdotal experience they're laughably behind.

"It now has annual revenues in the $8bn range, which is bigger than Amazon’s entire retail operation and growing three times faster." The math seems wrong there...

FWIW my good friend went to Bennington and nothing she studied in school is remotely applicable to life... Let alone work. That said she had a really good time.

Pro tip when dealing with this level of ineptitude is to cold email a few execs (guess their email from linkedin). Normally the problem will filter down to someone with the intelligence to calmly read through the thread and diagnose the iss

I certainly think this will be the trend for startups but I believe it will take much longer for established companies to get out of the buying hardware business. Often times running locally can be drastically less costly than running on Am

Except that this isn't fuel... the prices have consistently trended down for 7 years and have no indications of stopping.

Often times it's just that though. Just because many customers are experiencing something doesn't mean ALL customers are experiencing something. When I worked there what the media would describe as a major outage was really less t

(former AWS employee) You can't give the credits back or transfer them to another account (at least not in a short period of time). Best to spend them. There's just no infrastructure to support that scenario.
