I thought they were fired for somehow getting chrome to pop-up notices when visiting the website of a google contractor that was anti-union. I mean, I like the effort, but... it's unlikely that an employer is going to want to pay emplo

Yes, in the US we (now) think of 250 as too low. 1,500 is pretty dang high. Persoanlly, 500 - 1000 wouldn't be unreasonable in my view. Major airlines might still be at 3,000+ hours. Remember, it used to be in the US you could also fly

Does it need to be ordinary silicon, or ordinary silicon processes (including temperature?). One seems much easier than the other, the later seems much more likely to be cheap (I can build a big laser on ordinary silicon today). Much harder

The standard is a fair bit higher now in airplane safety than it was. The 787 issues make you realize this (shims / flatness stuff etc). Go back 50 years this wouldn't have gotten a second look in most cases (and yes, there were m

Excellent point. A lot of focus is on pilots, but the safety chain was also weak. Maint, communication with flight dept, communication to subsequent pilots etc, training dept and required experience / education to fly. Not a good combo

The old procedure was Control Column - Hold Firmly Autopilot - Disengage. Do NOT re-engage. Control pitch attitude manually with column and electric trim. If runaway continues, stab trim cutout (both) to cutout. http://www.b73

Seems very possible that there was a similar approach here in Vietnam where a goal might have been to get the stuff to the US. I'm a bit confused by the seizure. Ie, if US doesn't want the cheap aluminum -> let another country

by slownews45 5y ago
If people are upset by so called "dumping" - can't they just let China charge more than they would have for this aluminum? Aluminum has well known fixed costs in smelters, it's one of those products they use as an exampl

I thought Boeing blamed it on a combination of poor maintenance practices by the relevant airlines, poor handling and response to inflight error messages and maintenance requests on previous flights that left the issue unaddressed, and then

1) $50/TB is not insane pricing relatively. I used to pay something like $3/GB (way back) which would be $3,000/TB. There are still plenty of folks charging high rates. 2) $50/TB may not be a big part of some customers b

Probably half R&D (no issues there), half sales and marketing. One thing - is their free service offering a sales and marketing expense or is that in cost of revenue. Last quarter they did 80M in sales costs (vs 40 in R&D and 28 in

Over 150TB I think you are easily down to 50% off their base rate already aren't you? $50/TB or so?

Cloudflare has $20M in revenue growth in last quarter. AWS had growth of $1.2B in last quarter? I think AWS is still hitting something like 30%+ revenue growth YoY even though they are already huge? With this size / scale, AWS should b

If you believe cloudflare egress is "free" I have a long list of "free" and "unlimited" services to sell you. Cloudflare simply doesn't share egress pricing.

"It is crystal clear that this comment validates the misunderstanding of how bandwidth is priced in the real world and how" If you don't think AWS bandwidth pricing is something in the real world I don't know what to say

Issues with cloudflare 1) They do not have public egress pricing. That should be a red flag at this time. 2) They are currently LOSING a lot of money on their offerings - AWS makes a ton. That should be red flag #2.

Short version if they get taken down: The validation apps used a 512 bit RSA public key. They used a factoring app and spend $200 on amazon to factor the private key from the public key. They were then able to generate the COVID passes. Thi

Let's be crystal crystal clear here. If I host a high data use video site on AWS, I can calculate what my costs will be. That provides me some certainty with respect to a business plan. Even better, AWS does have a history that is much

Same here. Since I "restore" this backup pretty frequently just for day to day living (ie, doing taxes) I'm also pretty sure it's accessible. I do pay for versioning for the online sync of this, and I do a period S3 obje

by slownews45 5y ago
For automated ransomewhere this works. For targeted - it often doesn't because often your AWS keys are on the system doing the back up and have permissions to delete items etc. Of course, this is why S3 allows you to set and object loc

You claim that a bunch of GPU crypto minors won't exploit a chance to incur billing overruns if amazon waives charges? The amazon deal is simple. Very clear pricing for pay what you use. Cloudflare - can you link to the page where they

by slownews45 5y ago
Um. They'd much rather deal with a waiver request from someone for $100 then to deal with a bad credit card in accounting spinning down a major account. BTW - I've never heard of the later happening at AWS ever, and I have at othe

I really would love if folks talking about volatile AWS prices would actually give examples. I have been screwed, personally, by enough "free" and "unlimited" offerings to never believe them. On AWS, all the price change

The good news is we have some direct comparisons. NASA has invested more than SpaceX in the Space Launch System (think $20B plus in spending). This will be a rocket that is disposable, every launch it lands in the ocean, all work lost. Esti

But for example Young Dolph, went back to get some cookies in a tougher area, blown away and killed. Not so good. It's not clear that being socially competent / successful helped him.

You are a customer. There was a big issue in BC, your package from amazon was delayed and they refunded your money in full. You are complaining because 1) the refund took two days to process, which you claim is unreasonable. 2) You are also

Sorry to see you getting downvoted, its an interesting perspective. That said, even rappers seem to retire to "safer" places then these "lively" options you describe. So something about being safe appeals to many people,
