Oh yeah? I remember a story about GCP shutting down an entire large enterprise customers GCP account and turning off all their services over some minor billing thing. No notice. No warning. No email or call. Just bam - your infrastructure i

That's not the modern cloud at all. There are literally hundreds of services offered by AWS and Azure outside of what you are thinking of "rented servers". These things cannot be replaced by "managed hosting". Not t

I think if there's a money saving argument, you wouldn't need to put that in the union contract. Companies will want to save money and you don't need to force them to save money. It's clearly a "job saving" arg

They calculated the costs based on 3 years running at the hourly rate. That's kinda weird. How about including multi-year discounts? These are available to everyone. [1] https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/pricing&#x

What if you're just republishing someone else's content? It's not your original content, you're just publishing someone else's? Can I scrape your website to get that content I am legally allowed to get (because I ha

This is like a re-trial of the famous Supreme Court case that the white pages phone directory cannot be copyrighted. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_Publications,_Inc.,_v._R... . Facts are not copyrightable. And

Genius actually licenses the lyrics from the music publishers. The first line of your comment is accusing them of something that they don't do.

One could argue that $3 million per year for a university undergrad with no experience is not merely "72%" overpriced, but is in fact 1000%-3000% overpriced.

Actually the scale is larger than that. Amazon got over 100 cities to bid on the project. Entered into deeper negotiations with at least 20 of those. Got many cities to spend hundreds (or thousands) of hours putting proposals together, pitc

I'm surprised that you're surprised. You worked for Google. You should have known this before today.

Yes, this. I don't get how anyone actually cares about a top level domain. There are so many. Pick another.

Because you rent domain names. You don't buy them and they are not your property. So it's correct to say registrars lease domain names to registrants.

Disappointingly, the answer from the article is "I don't know." This article could be condensed to a table.

They used to repeat the same products over and over, and now they try to never repeat a product or do variations of the product at different prices.

The purpose is not to "make money on people forgetting to cancel." The fact of the matter is that many more people buy when a free trial is offered. If your competitor offers a free trial, and you don't, they get more sales t

The words "dirty and deceptive tactics" are yours. I just don't worry about people with 9 figure net worths arguing over inconsequential things.

I'm sure Scooter Braun, who's likely got a net worth more than Taylor Swift, is going to be OK. He can take care of himself and doesn't need you to defend him. Nobody is bullying anybody here.

17 years ago, my business partners and I were approached by a porn website looking to get their website redone. (We didn't take the job, but it was an interesting meeting.) He said that his biggest problem was "refunds". It s

But the story is talking about "generational ownership" of companies, that pass control to heirs when the founder dies. Whether through dual class shares, or retaining a large % stake, it's the same. The Ford heirs control Fo
