Likely a dumb question (apologies in advance): can that in any way replace the need to spinning a native LoadBallancer on AWS?

+1 :) I use the exact same machine and I simply don't want to upgrade it with the current options. I don't even need anything higher resolution (retina is great), honestly. In fact, I don't even need a more performant (or mor

> I achieved my lowest weight about 2 years ago and have managed to keep off all but 10lbs of it, much of which I'm confident is muscle. It took me 4-5 years to hit the low mark. Good job.

160 lbs loss and that being half of your weight is a huge accomplishment. Congrats! I hope you did it in a healthy and sustainable way and now feel much better than before. If you don't mind me asking - how tall are you, how long did t

Correction: 500 grams -> ~ 1.1 pounds, not 2. I've also done a substantial weight loss, while staying healthy (you can check my 1st-level comment in this same discussion). I guess the "random internet know-it-all" is suppo

Is it? When you are losing weight for more than a month, I guarantee you, if you are a reasonable person, you wouldn't be losing a donut with those 500 Kcal. You'd instead be giving up 500grams (almost 2 pounds) of tomatoes + 80 g

Sure, but they can probably walk at least that. And (not) surprisingly walking is comparable (usually about 1/2 from jogging) as energy expenditure. Low intensity exercise (cardio) is the biggest burner of energy, since you can sustain

Last year I lost 44 pounds (20kg) by counting calories (I also used MyFitnessPal to count and record everything). My advice to people who want to be successful into this, would be: 1. Be realistic with the calories you consume. Use an app t

Well, to be fair you will lose it if you had it in first place. People who don't bulk up by training, only cary the muscle that... carries them. As long as you keep your protein intake as recommended, you will keep the muscle you need

Thanks. This is very informative.

If startups fail (test bad ideas) 5x faster than in the 80's and 90's and if most founders quit entrepreneurship after their 1st failure, even if 2x more people are founding companies, then it's probably normal that, overall,

Seems like meditation (maybe yoga as well) gives you access to control the Ego. Westerners just want to dial the knob in the opposite direction. I honestly am more inclined to think that in the world we live in (and the rules we operate acc

I honestly can't imagine how this would work. Even in cinema I rarely like this approach (telling a story backwards). In music history I think it makes sense to go a couple of steps backwards (if you are just a fan trying to better und

Not too many AR apps have succeeded, only because the massively-available AR hardware is not here, yet. The phone with a camera is not it. You can only do that much within that paradigm. The moment (hopefully it's coming) we have (rela

That is what I see, as well, with the GENERATING AUDIO USING NEURAL NETWORKS patent application. IANAPL, but I do work in audio software and the application, seems to me, explains a broad model of audio processing using convolutional neural

Interesting points. I doubt the logistics would make the task of prefabrication not worth doing, though. The analogy in software that first came to mind was server vs. client-side rendering of websites. (I think much of it holds true for ph
