Anyone who writes a newsletter and hosts a broadcast in defense of Epstein's child sex trafficking ring probably should be under some kind of enhanced scrutiny. Please keep in mind that the Epstein case was argued in open federal court

I would agree that anyone who is specifically named in an Act of Congress requiring that to happen, which Act is then duly signed into law[1], should release their information. That doesn't currently apply to anyone other than the late

You are right that a lot of systems at a lot of places need 24x7. Obviously. But there are also a not-insignificant number of important systems where nobody is on a pager, where there is no call rotation[1]. Computers are much more reliable

> What am I missing? IME the need for 24x7 for B2B apps is largely driven by global customer scope. If you have customers in North American and Asia, now you need 24x7 (and x365 because of little holiday overlap). That being said, there

Noted. We have granted an exception for iMessage on the grounds that communications are primarily/wholly with people known IRL. There's an analogy for older folks, which is kids who grew up without TVs (and radio, in some cases).

Adds about the same number of jobs as single Costco, except this particular Costco will increase your electricity bill even if you don't work there.

Thanks for responding. This sounds like the type of thing companies have done in cycles over the years. Some % gets dissatisfied with their vendor, so they bring in-house. That predictably sucks (distraction, can't keep up with third-p

To be fair, it looks like that fronted framework may have had its initial release after the training cutoffs for most of the foundation models. (I looked, because I have not had this experience using less-popular frameworks like Stimulus.)

I am not a physician, but I expect that decades hence we will see the health effects of repeated Covid infections. I'm guessing specifically around cardio health and dementia risk.

They don't eat all of it anymore, even for Prime members. To the extent they do, it's largely to reduce friction for what is still a purchase that will generally take longer to arrive than going to the store. Plus, it's a nic

So much this. My inner perf engineer shudders every time I see one of these "modern" architectures that involve databases sited hundreds of miles from the application servers.

FWIW the selling $1 for $0.2 is widely applied to any business that is selling goods below cost. For example: free shipping at Amazon does not have resale value and is not obviously fungible, but everyone understands they are eating a cost

This is fascinating, and possibly relevant to companies that hire for the long term. Unfortunately, that excludes most of corporate America.

I'm surprised so many people miss this. The insurers have an incentive for medical costs to go up, so that their (capped) share results in higher profits.

I was being a little facetious and using your comment as a way to point out to non-Americans that being insured is miles away from getting healthcare. This is also not a normal thing.

Given that older people tend to be some of the main cost drivers in healthcare, it's sort of silly that we cover them and then refuse to allow younger (cheaper) people to opt in to the same system & perhaps defray costs that way.

There's a third piece too, which is that insurers are ramping price much faster than inflation. Our (unsubsidized) premiums increased 20% year-over-year, after also increasing faster than the rate of inflation the last few years. Since

I have spent some time looking at healthcare costs, but I have not seen maternity/neonatal/family planning as a significant driver of costs. It would be surprising if so, given falling birthrates and growth in the elderly populati
