Nicely decisive move, going straight for the head. And the optics of a diverse leader duo look great given some of the problems.

Depends entirely on how the system was laid out I guess. If you're in a cold region, say Iceland, and water-cool your miners entirely by running the hot water against a thermoelectric system with the one side out in the snow, maybe 60%

They're now introducing Linux based hardware, which looks set to be super-popular, called the Steam Deck. So they're definitely using the Linux work in their own products. That should give the numbers a boost.

"lost $25M" doesn't necessarily mean they set it on fire. If the wording is changed to "invested all their revenues and a further $25M of raised or borrowed capital", wouldn't that make more sense? The way thes

What normally happens is that availability is a boolean yes/no, and gets set to no when the first person asks for something that's run out. The merchant then sets it back to yes after stock comes in. That's a lot less work th

They can, but I don’t think they want to, that would waste satellites on a very low population circle. Think of each orbit as a hula hoop around the earth. You’d want to pack as many hoops as you can over the populated areas, with maybe one

by sudhirj 5y ago
Each satellite supports 20GBPS, from what I've read. So if you have an exclusive lock on one satellite, and that has a direct/exclusive route to a ground station, that's probably a theoretical max.

Try an google image search for Netflix Open Connect appliance. Basically a 2U / 4U rack mountable server. Need to put a few of those in orbit.

Would seem that way, but yeah. A car affordable to 10% of a 100 million people and 1% of a billion people is the same market size.

Like what? Nothing I’ve seen comes close to the ease of use and developer experience. My only gripe is that they’re US and EU only, would like an APAC region. Fly.io is a leap ahead, probably move there next. But what’s a better Heroku than

Heroku has a good use case as being the quick default way to deploy Salesforce platform applications, so there’s definitely some synergy there, but the Heroku for everybody else is languishing a bit. Slack, don’t know, maybe it’s going to b

Because they can’t sell their cars in locations where they haven’t built out a supercharger network, which is still most of the world. The more interoperable standard will win there. Starting a supercharging station worldwide is very differ

by sudhirj 5y ago
Salesforce also owns Heroku, which is interesting, I guess. I don’t full understand the game that’s being played, though. They own the way I deploy all my apps, and the way I communicate with my colleagues, but I’m not seeing the synergy. B

No mention of discounts, so this is probably a purely cashflow / tax management system.

I think you could, yes. It’s a different question as to how fast you’d hit the limit, but definitely possible to do a “this site can only have 100000 visits” type art project.

Giant satellite swarms will enable space based astronomy at an unprecedented scale. Instead of complaining that we’re putting stuff in space why aren’t astronomers trying to get more telescopes added into next launches? Is there any instrum

Sleep 0 sounds like quite a hack, Go has the neater https://pkg.go.dev/runtime#Gosched instead, and I assume there will be a Java equivalent as well. And if most stdlib methods and all blocking methods call it, it's go

I’m not entirely sure, but I always thought of Phusion Passenger as being a very small team, like Hashicorp.

Phusion Passenger (same team) has lots of enterprise offerings with very entierprisey names and prices.

For those wondering why on earth this isn’t simply a contribution to Ruby, the FAQ has a really nice explanation - tldr is that this is a variant optimised for the very specific context of Linux, x86/64, server environments, with pre c

The vulnerability is the ability to poison the cache of some popular library once I steam the WORKERS_KV token. I could choose the most popular library, say Bootstrap, and change it to something else. People who loaded the script with SRI o

I can't make out if these rules are specific to India. Doesn't the EU have the same data residency rules as well? Why are Mastercard and Amex struggling with this?

There was apparently always some kind of mix (AWS did start from internal requirements, though it quickly diverged). The OG services like S3 and DynamoDB power a lot of Amazon for sure. There’s been more bed of Amazon moving to AWS, most re

They can already arrest any employee, like this head of marketing.

Finding a scapegoat has never been a problem in any culture or time in history, as long as the role was compensated properly.

Another way to think about it would to change the distance and see if the sentence still makes sense. If the event was on the other side of the world, 100 light-milliseconds away, it wouldn't be an issue. If it happened on Mars, a ligh

That's the first thing that stood out to me as well, but it's actually pretty accurate when it comes to light speed communication. It was basically 3 hours after the event observable by us, which is for all practical purposes &quo
