The Bay Area had something like 20x as much VC investment as Austin as of 2017 [0]. This article [1] indicates that the trend is probably in Austin's favor, as I'd expect, but it also shows that Austin isn't even in the top 1

Yeah good point, I was thinking they'd cut your service off but on second thought that's probably not the case.

Or they want to avoid making pricing more complex than it already is, they do that by significantly marking up egress and using it to cross-subsidize other stuff (like data ingress and internal data transfer), and they've determined th

Yeah, and it sounds like the same will be true on iOS sometime in December. Not sure why they'd announce the discontinuation now instead of just waiting a few weeks until they have a drop-in replacement available, though I guess it is

I'd think the former would typically (depending on how many times the class is re-used) use more bandwidth, if anything, since it still requires the framework to define the `w-32 h-32` class attributes elsewhere using the more verbose

A qualitative assessment like whether Company A is more likely to be breached than Company B is a good start, but it's a far cry from being able to actually quantify each of their expected losses. I agree that there's a big discon

This is really interesting. Assuming I'm willing to trust the author's claim that semantic class names are the reason CSS is hard to maintain, what's the advantage of `<img class="w-32 h-32">` over `<img st

There’s nothing inherently unsustainable about relying on insurance for this type of thing. Arguably, properly priced cyber coverage would increase companies’ incentive to invest in good security, since it translates a possible cost in th

Does that mean you roll your own database because you can't review the whole codebase for Postgres or whatever? How about your own cryptography suite, and web server, and compiler? I think it's reasonable to err on the side of rol

The estate tax is almost always double taxation in general. If you just save up money from working and then you die, you'll have paid income tax on that money, then you'll be taxed again on that same money under the estate tax. If

Smoking actually decreases an individual's use of public resources - because they die so much earlier, smokers use less medical resources than non-smokers over their lifetimes, and they heavily cross-subsidize Social Security payment

Unfair in the sense that the buyer pays more than the cost of goods sold, but trade often increases utility for both parties anyway. People happily pay $1,000/year for homeowners insurance even though the expected losses and expenses a

Minor point: I assume the author's rationale for carrying only liability insurance is that he has enough money to comfortably self-insure the risk of an at-fault accident. For businesses that approach makes sense - big companies self-i
