It's not just MRT's. It's any and all construction. On any construction site (even regular homes), you'll see barracks style housing for the migrant labor. They are de facto second class citizens.

Doesn't 2/3 of Singapore live in public housing? That's a pretty subsidized way of life.

It's an interesting moral bargain. Give up any rights to free speech and Internet freedom; in return get a well functioning government and municipal services. Sure, they still house the huddled (brown) masses in ghettos, but they'

Doesn't kubernetes run an overlay network (at least in some scenarios)?

Have you considered write-back cache scenarios? Can't use RAM there. Stuff like this would be fantastic for those applications.

I'll settle for NAND pricing to drop. There's a bit of large-scale NAND shortage right now. Companies are bearing the brunt of the shortage right now, but they'll past it on to consumers if it continues much longer.

MO drives heated the medium to the Curie point. 3D XPoint isn't all the revolutionary.

What's a "high-NVMe chassis" and what large cloud provider uses Dell gear these days? They long ago killed the C-series line as everyone switched to Quanta (FB et al) or Supermicro (smaller players). The only people buying De

Does this help at all with upgrades? Upgrading from 9.4 to 9.5 means you need to rebuild your entire replication topology because the master's identifier has changed (in the initdb step of the official docs).

Downvotes because you don't like the fact that USAir actually didn't merge with United? Or is HN just turning into a subreddit now?

by scurvy 10y ago
The article is factually wrong in a few places. USAir did not merge with United. The NYT has slipped so far.

I worked at MSN a while ago, and even we didn't patch everything immediately. It had to go through our team's QA first. We found a few bad installers and that reinforced the practice.

The Amex Platinum paid out over $2k in benefits on my honeymoon alone (2 free nights at a Four Seasons, upgraded rooms, free breakfast for 2 every day, and a resort credit) through the Fine Hotels and Resorts program. I don't always tr

United didn't drag anyone off the plane. ORD PD did. Also, boarding is any time up until gate departure.
495.
by scurvy 10y ago
Not true. Boarding basically means haven't left the gate. If you get to your seat, sit, then they realize that your seat belt is broken, they can deny you "boarding" instead of dispatching a tech to fix the belt. You were sea

I doubt that United would be party to the lawsuit. It would be the airport cops who were called and roughed up the passenger.

People get sick. Stuff happens. Every airline does this. It sucks, but if you think your distributed system in the cloud is complicated, running an airline every day would blow your mind.

I can only speak for myself, but I'd rather avoid the Apache HTTPD stack altogether. If you run multiple PHP FPM pools, it's nicer and easier to only recycle individual pools as necessary (rather than the whole process). Important

I had not. Looks like it requires 9.5 or later? We're running 9.4 so we'll have to upgrade to use it. Thanks!

It's not hard to setup initially, but I'll admit that it's not very good. It's not very good in a long-lived scenario where you're changing your replication topology for routine maintenance tasks. Changing from mast

Understand that but as a founder, why would you give yourself options over stock? It's your company. That makes no sense. You need to pay in capital in some form.

If the company forgives the debt, doesn't the IRS treat that as income?

If you're a founder, why wouldn't you 83B all of your shares right away when they're worth $.0000001 per share?

Interesting. I had to sign something saying that I would be exposed to terrible stuff during the course of my job at MSN, and I wouldn't sue the company for damages. This was back in 2003. Maybe they stopped asking employees to sign th

Not sure, but a stolen (some say give away by disgruntled postal carrier) USPS key was used to break into dozens of mailboxes in a very affluent zip code in San Francisco (Nob Hill and Russian Hill). It must have been very lucrative for the
