Agreed, very much a London thing. Given it's optional at least you can tell them (or a manager) in the UK to take off if service is crap. In Asia, in places where the service charge is added then the service charge is rarely if ever re

When paying by card you can still stick a few pounds or dollars in the sleeve. Even when CC receipts had the open Tip: ____ line most times I would zero it and leave a cash tip when a tip was in order, off the books, not % skimming to cover

Tipping still happens in Europe and SE Asia it's just not silly like North America. In the UK we'd leave a few pounds typically, let's say table bill was 47gbp, you have be a shameless mingebag to collect the 3gbp change if y

May the expectation of tips disappear next.. Whilst there's no way I'd ever subscribe to current mentality of tipping 10% when unhappy and 15-20% when happy I'm not sure I'd want to remove tipping entirely. It should be

Similar story as app.net, the paid twitter replacement that was cool for 33 seconds, arguably poor naming though on both counts given one suggests something else and the second I have no idea how to pronounce.

It's a shame he hasn't been charged directly, him and all the other high profile "social influencers" that don't make it clear they're being paid to plug some dog shit and haven't done a single bit of due

Yikes that is poor, you'd think they'd have at least a few big sites (not all on aws either) to validate connectivity problems against, or at least make it configurable. Doesn't Google have a connectivity validation site on a

Not our experience, certainly not outside of working hours, refusal to escalate until level 3 staff return working hours, which on a weekend is a lot of downtime

Most of these credits are rolled into your licensing agreement, even with a $20k/year SME open value I recall us getting like 4 tickets free. They aren't just tickets, at 4am in the morning with a botched Exchange upgrade (it was

It was not true 3.5 years ago. Maybe 4yrs ago. They seriously suck nowadays

Not the experience on the email platform, you get a note taker that passes it on, level 1 techs on the email platform don't even know how to parse `host -t mx hostname.com`. You insist on same day escalation to be refused. After huntin

What are bandwidth costs? This comes up again and again, people see HE.net / Cogent / Level3 / Hibernia / NTT whatever offering 10gig handoff IP transit at a colo neutral location for X per month and somehow determine th

A lot of people hate in-app support. Revolut (similar concept to N26) for example really screwed this up, someone drank too much AI and bot framework koolaid at a conference and now millions of users (and arguably the pecetion of the busine

Ah buyout history. if memory serves me correctly... EV1Server (Cobalt RaQ3s with 300gb data transfer / month - $99 back in early 2000s) -> ThePlanet ($39pm athlons with 1000gb data transfer mid 2000s) -> Softlayer (it started get

Would this result in 32bit, x64, x64CPUpost2018 versions of software, as from my limited understanding apps (such as v8 engine) are being compiled with workarounds for such that won't be needed once fixed in hardware?

You're probably right, presumably the 50ms of compute time, is that of reasonable 1.6ghz xeon+, and compute time is accounted as actual real compute time - not inclusive of waiting on some virtual CPU to be multiplexed onto a real core

One more question. Whats to stop this being used for amplification DDOS? Register a stolen CC then launch x100 parrell http(s) subrequest for each incoming request to your intended target, possibly adding large random payload (well as much

Any private gitbucket/bitbucket integration on the card, like most CI SaaS do, gets an oauth2 token for the desire repositories, setups the notification webhooks, deploys on push (of nominated branch)?

I guess it would be depend on the resizing profile, fetching from a remote origin and reading into a buffer should involved <1ms of computer time (latency not an issue given 15seconds of async wait) but then guaranteeing all done in 50ms

How does a cold start perform, I'm guessing with sandboxing of v8 vs a whole new container, and deserialization of a single script into a free sandbox v8 slot (perhaps they store the AST or preJITed code for even faster start? - not fa

This is awesome. I guess the uses are endless. Debug some webhook endpoints by duplicating the request to a private requestbin - granted this isn't the right level to do this but sometimes we're working with legacy setups. Add mis

I'm unlikely to renew LastPass when it comes up, it seems there no security, devops, or even browser integration talent remaining, and it hasn't really progressed in years apart from a minor Vault UI overhaul and a price doubling.

Is any B2C mainstream bank using client certificates? I've not seen it in the wild. I think easier solution is just BYOD to work with 3g/4g SIM, you can pick up a reasonable 8" tablet for $100 that supplements your phone for
