Due to the shared nature of the internet it's very hard to implement a technically foolproof block. For example you could rent a server on AWS, forward your traffic to it (e2e encrypted) and then have that forward your traffic to a reg

I started using the internet unsupervised heavily in my tweens in the early 2000's and came across some horrendous stuff pretty early. Despite that, for me I think it's been a net positive and I would like my children to grow up i

I thought native edge was pretty good, it was disappointing when they gave it up. Call me old fashioned but I think browsers will advance faster when we don't have a chromium monopoly outside of the apple ecosystem.

My ideal outcome would be something like: 1) Chrome is spun out as a standalone entity. Google would originally have full ownership but be forced to sell down over time. 2) Google buys the Chrome traffic at a fair price 3) Apple sells their

Firefox makes hundred of millions of dollars in revenue per year. If you assume the same revenue per user and apply it to Chrome's market size (about 30x that of firefox) then you have a top 20(?) tech company in revenue terms. They wi

Companies regularly buy and sell parts of themselves. I think the standard approach would be for Chrome employees to be given golden handcuffs of some sort.

In the context of Google's ad business the fact that chrome is open source has little bearing. Chrome is both massively popular and also a loss leader designed to further entrench Google's ad monopoly. If Chrome were broken off th

There are different forms of overpayment but to give some examples: - The recent story of AWS using serverless for video processing comes to mind [1]. - Google is renowned for rest and vest. - Many government jobs pay more than their privat

I'm mostly just trying to provide Thomas Borody the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure he would do a much better job of defending himself.

Mostly guessing but -> duration is usually inversely correlated with throughput. If you require high throughput and have a high duration then partitioning/distribution are the normal solution.

I agree that cloudwatch is dogturds, but want to dive deeper for illustrative purposes: Your dynamodb solution isn't foolproof. It has throughput limited to the partition granularity -> in your case the lambda name. It's also

Not sure if you're being intentionally cheeky by pointing out a use case one wouldn't use Go for but will answer anyway. A language with a GC (like go) typically isn't a good fit for a 3d engine. Almost all serious engines ar

1) The common stock that employees get via options is the last in line for the pot of gold. 2) There's plenty of bullshit that can be used to cheat an employee out of their options. One example here [1]. [1] https://techcrun

Innovation and standards/large companies tend to be at opposite ends of the spectrum. Hence the need for startups! I hope that you're correct however.
