$933 million lost in unclaimed salary makes for ~$7.3 per worker per year in the US (~128m in 2018). Tese are of course, like the article says: claimed losses. Not many know about what they could have. There should be no unclear expectation

I'd argue that bugfixes belong to feature updates hand in hand, and should be accounted for in the pricing

Is there a way to globally disable middle mouse paste on X11? I don't really use it anywhere, and when i do, it's mostly by accident

I don't think those are separate categories at all, it's simply a tool. Modern companies are also internet companies. That coffee shop over there? On the internet. Order something at PizzaHut? Over the internet. Want to move some

The article seems to be gated to subscribers only. The filter is applied after the article loads, so it may still be readable without executing javascript E: that seems to only apply when using private mode, for whatever reason.

I'd imagine not many on HackerNews have something to do directly with the issues you listed. Measuring what is having _true_ impact on these large scale issues can be really difficult.

Tangentially related, but I hate by-default enabled middle mouse paste on Firefox. I use autoscroll (hold middle mouse) to browsing, and it keeps sending paste on the site. Why is it enabled by default?? At best it's mild inconvenience

I think the best cases for AWS is counter to marketing, very small companies. Their native offerings do make things great for a while when you're starting out. The other is stupendous burst activity, like you just need a thousand(s) co

It's not a waste when it serves a purpose. Availability is a big concern

When you do outbound networking, you're sending it out to the internet, not mangling it within AWS's network

True you could create a trash beacon for any frequency, but as you said it'd be very "loud". Disrupting service with seemingly innocent messages would be much harder to detect though
