That site is hosted off-campus, coordinating obtaining the cert from the campus CA and then getting it into their off-campus host is probably just a low-priority. They should still do it, though, being off HTTPS is going to hurt their SEO

There's fun history to that here in California. There was an older woman here in Santa Barbara that ran a house like that. Lots of rented out rooms, they ate communal dinners, but you didn't have to come, etc. The city tried to

It's also not clear if any of these numbers are %ages of the total property value, land + house, or just house rebuilding costs (which are often over $400/sqft in California after a disaster). My worry with CEA is in "the big

The thing that pushed me over the top on renting was purchasing a house with an accessory dwelling that we could rent. Houses with rentable space often don't sell for that much more than those that don't have said space, but they

Netflix still uses AWS for much of their support systems (billing, discovery, etc. etc.) The core business of delivering video is not on AWS and has never been. That runs on their in-house CDN, OpenConnect.

The question is, why would a F500 company rent space from WeWork at a double-digit markup when they can do it themselves? This is not super hard or special stuff, and F500 companies need to do it enough that they can maintain the expertise

This why the "Netflix uses AWS!" rhetoric is misleading. Yes, they use AWS extensively for front-end, analytics, transcoding, billing (now), etc. The one thing they don't use AWS for much at all is Content Delivery (AKA big

When your profit margin is 25%+, the bigger risk is not people reducing spend, it's moving to a different cloud. Helping people decrease spend by increasing complexity is a form of vendor lock-in, and preserves the long-term revenue.
