Interesting that they finally gave a scope to the people impacted. 3200 people doesn't seem like chump change to me. And I guess deporting people is the most enhanced security measure of them all. If we could deport everyone that lives

No, they were not similar. Obama did not ever ban hundreds of thousands of valid green card or visa holders from re-entering the country where they currently reside full time. Which has also -- effectively -- made those still in the US subj

Not yet. They launched 40G a while ago, but some issues have kept them from the same kind of dominance they had with 10G. 25G is supposedly coming soon-ish, but 100G is still 1-2 years away. It's going to be hard to compete with vendor

In the GitHub issue I linked to, the project maintainer indicates both that he will no longer work on the project and that Netflix has retired the software. So... I wouldn't invest time in it unless you want to take over stewardship (n

High frequency trading is Solarflare's original market (and Mellanox has their InfiniBand market), but both of them are becoming more and more common in the commodity server market as well. Particularly since Intel dropped the ball on

Yeah, it does need to be the same in the zone as well as with your registrar. As mentioned in StackOverflow's blog post, Azure doesn't support changing NS records. Similarly, there are a fair number of DNS providers that don'

Once you have configured your zone with multiple providers, it's simply a matter of adding NS entries for each provider's authoritative servers to your registrar. The harder part is ensuring that the zones are kept in sync and tha

Yahoo is going to join AOL as part of Verizon. So Yahoo managed to outlive them by a few years at least.

I think you're misremembering what fares used to be. Muni raised single trips to $2 in 2009 (and now it's $2.50 in 2017). Meanwhile my rent has more than doubled in that time. It's actually (still) much cheaper than other cit

Muni should be the one paying Transit. Transit actually makes Muni semi-tolerable -- at least you have an idea of how much it will suck. And I'm sure NextMuni is not cheap. As far as I know, Transit's only revenue stream right now

by skuhn 10y ago
Back when NextMuni was only 99% worthless, Transit had a method of actually getting reasonable arrival times out of it. Since each bus has a published GPS location (in addition to the NextMuni time), you can use that with driving direction

No, there are two other name options available: Amazon and Echo. Echo is my preferred one, since it's two syllables.

It's actually even worse than that (for everyone else). In Q3 2016 Apple had 104% of the profits -- because most of the other companies in that industry had no profits at all. Samsung came in at #2 with 0.9% of profits (they usually do

Tumblr does not display ads on pornographic content. It is not something that Yahoo is willing or able to monetize, and yet it represents a substantial amount (perhaps the majority) of the cost of operating Tumblr. Maybe a future operator o

The short answer is: a ton of money. Tumblr has insanely high operating costs and practically no revenue stream. Yahoo has spent a lot of time and money (while fighting with Tumblr people) to get these costs down, but much of that work woul

Well, you don't actually ever have to park them. They could run near constantly, or any schedule that makes the most return on investment. Self-driving cars, if taken to their logical extreme, result in total gridlock. I do think that

The 2630v4 row was hidden because of the QPI / memory concerns I mentioned (all such models were hidden on the sheet because I don't consider them for my purchases). I re-exposed those rows just now. FYI, the v4 rows are towards t

Absolutely agree. Typically I deploy about 4-6 "tools" hosts in a site. From a computational standpoint, you could make do with fewer hosts, but there are some things that I prefer to separate out: 1&2. Authoritative DNS (inte

It's hard to say with absolute certainty, but I think 2-3 years is a reasonable guess. 64GB DIMMs have only recently become semi-reasonable, and I still use a lot of 16GB or 32GB DIMMs on smaller deployments. Basically whatever the top

If you can only deploy one place in the world, east coast US is generally the right fit (if you have typically distributed user traffic, of course). You can cover western Europe and the major population centers of eastern North America, and

For server hardware, the Supermicro 2U Twins are a reasonable choice, but I prefer their 4U FatTwin chassis. The engineering quality is a little better IMO, and the cost increase isn't too big. Absolutely do not buy their 1U Twin syste

I think you've hit on the underlying issue with the common belief that Uber will be saved by self-driving cars. If I can produce as many self-driving cars as I want (i.e. I'm Ford), what is my incentive to sell them to you? I can

The mystery to me is why sites like the Washington Post have a comments section at all. Think of the time and money they spent implementing and running it, possibly requiring the most technical effort out of their entire publishing endeavor

One of (many) reasons why BART can't expand is NIMBYism as well. Trains are loud, they bring undesirable people to the area, the stations themselves can have crime problems. Basically people see it as a magical portal that brings downt

Without knowing any details about their business, my guess is that they also have substantial debts with their manufacturing partners. Since they kept going back to the Kickstarter well, maybe their business never got to the point where the

Literally everything is out of stock or in pre-order mode ("Ships in November!" oh wait, what month is it?). Even their USB cables! Not a good look, and with this news I wouldn't expect stock to ever re-appear.
