The owner of the domain is responsible to make sure they are in control of the zone where they've decided to point the name servers. Failure to do so means that anyone able to create zones on these name servers can do so. On Amazon you

No, they can't. The user has either failed to complete setting things up, or forgot to change the name servers to something else after removing it. It's a configuration issue created by the user. Some TLDs check for this, they won

They can claim the domain before you, but like you mentioned used in combination with a matrix of name servers this should quite easily be mitigated. Another solution is to time box new zones. And don't get me wrong, I think the soluti

It's a smart way to at least make it a lot harder to take over a misconfigured domain this way, but like I said in another thread, I'm not sold on the idea that this is their responsibility. That said, having some safe guards for

When you're changing NS-records you're actually updating the TLD, so at that point any other records should be considered moot, like the suggested TXT record. How do you imagine people migrate if the current name servers aren&#x27

I don't think there are any solutions to this on a technical level. There's no way for you to prove that you own the domain, besides setting the NS-records. You can partially mitigate the issue the way Amazon does it. But even tha

I'm not sure how you imagine that you could prove that you owned the domain, on a technical level. You're updating the NS-records for your domain at the top level domain, being able to do that should provide enough proof that you

I'd imagine people that are paranoid about these things wouldn't be sending their unencrypted data to third parties anyway. So there's that. I'm a little skeptical to the claim that passthrough is so much faster than vir

In this case wouldn't the deduplication be done on the sending system anyway?

Amazon often makes it a little too convenient to segment things more than you really need, which adds extra cost, like additional NAT gateways, or in this case, Managed Firewalls. But you can use Shared VPCs that spans many accounts and dra

I never said that. There's simply no good reason to periodically write your data from flash to $other every now and them, and then back to flash. There are heaps of other ways to prevent data loss or performance degradation in flash st

Uhm, what? There are tons of ways to prevent data loss, none of them involves writing the data out to tapes and then back in again.

Seems like a strange approach. It's easier to just continuously benchmark performance and kill machines that don't perform as expected. It's very easy to automate. The article also doesn't mention spot pricing and per-se

The article mentioned that the battery was only able to supply 16MW to the grid. By all means a significant amount, but nowhere near the required 560MW needed to stabilize the grid. This is where hydro-based power plants excel, they're

You're being a bit harsh. There are some good lessons in what you shouldn't do, perhaps not intended so, but still interesting. We don't have many forest fires here in Norway, but we do have very harsh winters. Every year a f

It's also very helpful to be able to audit access. When people leave, and you have tons of static secrets, it's very helpful to be able to see what secrets they have accessed and that now needs to be rotated.

Or could it be that it just pulls too much power for a cordless keyboard? There can't be much room for batteries in those keyboards. If the non-TouchBar one was cheaper then I guess you'd be right. But all else equal I imagine peo

I don't really agree that it's been abandoned, nothing suggest that this is true. They're not known for just abandoning established services, there's a public roadmap[0] that you can follow. Like all services there are p

Takes two minutes to install if you know what you're doing. The whole point here wasn't to make a slick single click install, but a prototype that works. And then iterate from there.

To put things into perspective, in tiny Norway companies have issued warnings to 170k, in one week. In six days they received 105k applications for unemployment benefits. The government is paying full salary (capped at ~600k) for the first

The simple answer is that it's complicated. You have to factor in currency exchange. In Norway we're starting to become unprofitable at around $32/bbl with the current weak NOK against USD. Some older fields are more profitab

Oil is sold in USD you have to take into account the exchange rate between AUD and USD. We're seeing the same in Norway, but when you factor in the exchange rate and additional taxes it's effectively the same.
