The Neutis is $49, the VoCore2 is $18. They seem to have different power consumption as well. While it might be similar in size, the cost difference is substantial. The best choice as usual depends on the project.

Lovely site, I'm guessing this is still an early draft so there hasn't been much optimization. I'm on gigabit fiber and it took awhile to load. FF Network panel shows: - 131 requests - 32.74 MB Many of the graphics requests c

What model of TV is that? I've been looking at going to a larger 4k screen for a similar reason, but am wary of the increased input lag all TV's seem to have (the dreaded molasses feel of the cursor). Would love to find a screen a

And if it had conference rooms, high-speed internet, a fitness room, and the slower trip helped minimize jet lag... I'd be quite happy with that as well.

It says the person shut it off and claimed it was an Antminer s5, not that the FCC verified what was causing the interference. Was there some additional 3rd party confirmation of what it actually was?

I doubt its healthy for people to sit around all day while everything is delivered to them so they never have to go anywhere nor interact with anyone else socially in public.

The person that pays my paycheck tells me what to do. The only thing Mozilla was told to do in the contract with Google is to have them as the default search engine. Besides for the search engine requirement per contract, how is Mozilla&#x2

Ok, so that makes Mozilla beholden to them how exactly? Is Google calling up Mozilla asking them to do them favors in the product? Are Mozilla engineers being asked to write in special features that Google asks for? Yes, Google provides 90%

I was under the impression the search deals are merely which engine are the default. How does having the default search be Google make the Mozilla corp beholden to Google?

Not only that does it occur, but it also occurs that the same people messing it up have bought off both sides. So it's not like voting for Dems or Republicans will magically make it cheaper. They'll just change who pays the insane

Mozilla has around 1050 employee's give or take a dozen (at the Mozilla Corp at least, Mozilla Foundation has a few as well, but is accounted for separately afaik). Some top executives and board members are paid 1-3M according to docum

Indeed, it also fails to mention hydroelectric. Nor is there any mention of how much it costs per TW/h, especially when you factor in the insane cost from just a single accident or the fact that the waste has to be safely and securely

Sorry about that, I had difficulty finding anything about the consistency model of BigTable. Upon further reading on SSTables and how BigTable distributes them across nodes, it appears there is full consistency but if a node goes down the d

Agreed entirely, I do wonder what kind of internal constraints led Amazon to have these limits. Maybe in the future they'll go away, as so many other seemingly arbitrary limits do.

I said it was per node (which is a shard), it's not a limit per table. Did you read the original article or my reply? Both of them state this is per node and how DynamoDB decides when to shard to more nodes. Edit: Sorry, I did mention

by windlep 9y ago
I don't know what the article author is storing, but it's noted that 10GB of data is stored per node. That's quite a bit of data for a single table, and the 10GB is per shard of a table, not per 'database' (DynamoDB

The amount of people that will understand what that means is not very substantial. Usually asking for more permissions confuses users as well, people get permission fatigue.
