By name servers they mean DNS. I don't believe it is used and I hadn't heard of it, more info here if you search WKS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types

Others have answered, but I think the general principle for a Region is that between the AZs you have less than 1ms latency, physical separation between the data centers, but they may still be in the same floodplain, be able to be hit by th

Not sure, I haven't used that platform personally, there is probably a debugging interface to the chip but it will probably require different hardware/software.

This is similar to what I did: https://learn.adafruit.com/proper-step-debugging-atsamd21-ar... . That is for that specific platform, not sure if there is something similar for the other versions. I used the J-Link but I wan

I find it depends a lot on my level of understanding of the project I'm working on. If I wrote 20% or more of the code, or if I was involved in the design, etc., when there is a problem I know just where to look and can get there quick

I think if the government is going to subsidize something, politically aerospace makes a lot of sense. It has jobs for engineering, technicians, and high-skill trades. It has a long planning horizon and lots of regulation (meaning less shor

Every zero-sum adversarial system would be a lot more efficient if they accepted the judgement of a third party instead. How much energy could we save if we dismantled the court system, elections, and pro sports? I think DAG coins could be

I'd be really interested if anyone has a book or similar on supply and demand curves estimation by experiment. Ideally I'm looking for a cookbook type book less so than a theory book. If you're referring to financial markets,

Ok, I doubt I'll ever take an hour to listen to this, but I really enjoyed the book. It was very interesting to see the little particularities of the legal system and the participants that had a big impact. I basically read it straight

I like the book Information Rules by Shapiro and Varian as a review of these kinds of concepts in general. I don't think it is necessary to even view these topics as strategy, to a certain extent it is just the nature of the incentiv

Thanks, not OP but that looks useful to me. For context, I've used the strategy in OP to debug a small linux system running on an SD card, if I have one version that has a bug and one that doesn't, and I don't know the differ

I like the way Ben Horowitz puts it in his good pm, bad pm document: Good product managers focus the team on revenue and customers. Bad product managers focus team on how many features Microsoft is building. Good product managers define go

For typing I doubt it, ideally you should be able to type fine if the display only updated every 10 seconds. For i.e. the arrow keys, or anything interactive you will probably have to be watching for the response.

I think it is a very reasonable test. There are other industries that regulate themselves in other ways. For example, a huge training process and then jail time for lying about it, for doctors or lawyers. Or other ways to eliminate the risk

It does look like a really interesting avenue of research. I see a lot of statistical "evidence" presented as justifying interventions without even hesitating to consider if they've got it the wrong way around in terms of cau

I think the ideal scenario for this tech is running a downtown core to airport shuttle: - a short trip allows battery needs to not be excessive - bypass traffic, you don't have to go all that fast to get a huge speedup, and remove the

A few early thoughts: I think about half of their 2017 net loss was due to something to do with Convertible Notes, that they're explaining on pages F-43 and F-44. I'm trying to calculate patio11's "fundamental equation o

In that sense, it might actually be "safer" for an individual American to use a Chinese phone. It may be backdoored, but at least the PLA isn't going to share your vacation pics with the DEA, but the NSA might.

As a tech-bro type person I'm not enjoying our daily two minutes of hate from ivy league and oxbridge types against our various failures of moral purity. But there is a lot of value in this type of piece for i.e. a 22-year old female f

Annoyed to see a unit error in the first paragraph. Bulgaria nominal GDP is $50 billion PER YEAR. Two Sigma assets under management is $50 billion. (Not per year). If your car goes 100km/hour, and Shelbyville is 100km away, your car is

So, if I'm understanding right, it is using the database server instances as the current Aurora does. You just aren't responsible for managing them, the service makes those decisions within the spectrum of Aurora's capabiliti

So for me, the most realistic price drop scenario is something that creates a big increase in supply and decrease in demand at the same time. For MtGox you have a crisis that lowers trust in brokers, decreasing demand, and huge hoard of sto

I think there are two main drivers of price increase in 2018: - me-too buyers drawn by the huge 2017 increases - investors that have a mandate to seek out high-risk investments for a certain %age of their portfolio, and are gradually overco
