Couldn't agree more that a realistic minimum, with some sort of "teeth" would be a great means of preventing burnout (and other issues that arise from unhealthy work/life balance). Company I work for (Rubicon Project), u

The examples are very interesting, as it's not necessarily cheaper, because if you could handle the same 3 million requests per month with a t2.micro for ~$10 per month, Lambda approach would be close to 2x more expensive. However, the

I do realize that and am fairly familiar with how the cycle works, largely fueled by pay-day loans. Is your hypothesis that the higher income, even if temporary, may afford significant relief from this?

One scenario this article doesn't address is a situation where an employee who previously earned a lot less comes to rely on the higher salary and adjusts his/her expenses accordingly, but then for whatever reason ends up having t

Does anyone know if this affects immigration records, as I'm pretty sure they collect fingerprints and such?

Equating bad decisions (from our or even general societal points of view) with someone being a "bad person" isn't really the right way to look at the concern. The fact that bad decisions (again from a given point of view) are

One thing I don't understand is the requirement to use superchargers. From what I can tell, paid charging stations are much more prolific and while not offering the same convenience, will keep you from traveling via a flatbed...

The PvP system was decoupled from UO when they introduced "Facets" with Trammel being the non-PvP facet. Unfortunately, it completely dis-balanced the game in my opinion and was the beginning of the end for my 6 years of playing.

They are going a bit over the top with empathy claims for orcas: "Monterey – In what is probably the first time such an event has been witnessed and recorded, humpback whales appeared to try to intervene when a pod of killer whales att

As a kid growing up in USSR, we often played various WWII themed games and someone had to be the nazi. We usually did a coin toss and as far as I know, none of the kids turned into the actual nazis or far right extremists. Sometimes kids pl

Probably because they were technically convicts from governments point of view, instead of outright slaves or someones property. I'm a bit surprised by 1954 as the date, since it's pretty far from the original purges in the 30s, b

The underlying issue is who's data is this? Is it the manufacturers because the device gathered it or is it the users because it describes the user? Currently, from what I have seen, it's usually argued to be the former and not th

You'd have to make sure that if a node gets terminated while processing a request, that request can be re-routed to a live VM. Unless you don't care about users randomly seeing errors of course.

I believe the ratio tries to take into account all assets, tangible and intangible, but I have no idea how for example Facebooks user base/network effect would be recognized in GAAP accounting. Does anyone know?

That may be true, in all honesty, I don't know enough, but am trying to learn as much of this history as time permits. Not originally from US... That said, US on average seems to be doing a hell of a lot better in owning up to such inj
