Even at Amazon's cheapest posted bandwidth tier you're paying $50+ per terabyte for bandwidth. Any dedicated hosting company (OVH, Hetzner, etc...) will cost less than 3% of that (and that's on the high end). Bandwidth is che

It's a non-profit and open source? Why not just use public repos like Code.org and many other non-profit software teams. $0/mo is surely better for a non-profit.

How is that different than today with human drivers? A laser to the eye will cause lots of swerving.

The likely reason that they've pulled Alien Blue is because they're monetizing the new app with large obnoxious ads inserted into the timeline that look like stories (though, in fairness, are clearly marked sponsored). If monetizi

While this may not be a popular opinion, I find Go's type system to mainly benefit the compiler in optimization and be of minimal benefit to the safety or correctness of the program. Any non-trivial Go project will have interface{} spr

So this guy does something that makes his co-worker so uncomfortable that they go to HR and ask them to tell him to stay away. He then finds the person walking home and confronts them about the complaint. A week later he texts them asking t

Your general sentiment was true with old-school AI that was just exploring trees of options and intelligently pruning branches. However, for quite some time now we've moved beyond that and into areas that are promising for generalizati

Hosting companies give away free credits like candy. Don't let the lack of incubator stop you from asking. I've gotten up to $10,000 in hosting credits just by emailing someone and asking for it. No contract or anything, they just

Hardware companies have definitely been lazy and reused MAC addresses. But what's worse is that the total space is as low as 48 bits. The probability of a collision is orders of magnitude higher than if you just grab some random bytes

Define "better work"? Sounds like that second situation will lead to some crappy architecture with bug-ridden code. The rocket will likely fail and explode. Meanwhile in the first scenario you've got breathing room to build s

His underlying assumption is that given an ECDH public-key it is computationally infeasible to derive the private key / seed that went into creating it (via brute force). I suppose that's a fair assumption if your password has hig

Would it be possible for the server to simply return a queue position to the contending clients? For instance, "There are 37 clients ahead of you. Try again in 37ms." (assuming each write is averaging 1ms) I suspect if the client

It sounds aggressive, but most of the hurdles at this point are regulatory and insurance related (at least during fair weather conditions). Uber is aiming to have autonomous cars within two years and Google is actively testing local autonom

A lot of cops make a ton of money, doubly so outside of big cities. In a New Jersey coastal town where my parents live the cops start at $85k/yr. They never see any action. A few years back two of them saw a dead body and took months o

Most tech companies (doubly so in the Bay Area) develop on Macs and deploy (servers) on Linux. There'd be little pressure to develop a Linux client since most devs are spending their day on a Mac.

All of them can and all of them have to buy in to licensing it. Similar to when an open source project wants to change licenses (for some licenses), they need to reach out to every contributor and get an agreement from them.

Then pocket the second gun until the first runs out. If you've got a buddy, get the zombies coming through a fatal funnel. You shoot straight at the funnel while your buddy reloads the inactive gun. This allows you to maximize accuracy

Contrast tends to be a balance. #000 on #FFF (or vice-versa) rarely ever occurs in nature. It also tends to strain eyes. Optimal contrast for most people tends to involve a dark grey, as seen on her website. The easiest design trick to make

Just to balance out the feedback. 1) That font was plenty large. I don't see how it could have reasonably been larger without being comical. 2) It seemed kind of self-evident what a playground was. 3) Your voice was plenty loud. I don&

Slightly off-topic, but going to UPower's site shows nothing but a somewhat sparse wintery forest. Perhaps I've too much sci-fi on the brain, but it made me think of a nuclear winter.
