Not much better than "meet with Infrastructure in Nov to plan next years capacity and server purchases" for on prep -- has Azure really degraded down to this?

by wstuartcl 4y ago
yeah AWS tends to have capacity issues during high volume periods like black Friday (I think this is now actually because most large users pre reserve a buffer pool of vms sitting unused) -- but I have never had an issue where AWS has told

What you describe is like the inverse of 90% of the reason companies host in the cloud. What makes needing to forcast and reach out to a sales guy to eventually stock hardware for your needs (while now competing against other customers for

A wealth advisor that is directing clients to crypo has more problems than FTX. Sorry for your loss.

If local pawn shops can do it I think Amazon can do it. You seem to have a weird position that Amazon is some innocent player in this exchange -- they are making money from every one of these illicit sales. They enjoy benefit from looking

Yes -- but we are not talking about that we are talking about selling goods for which you have no record of purchase and obtained through theft. You are taking a pretty bit straw man here -- is your claim that there is no way to enforce pro

I do not think it is misplaced to look at a massive fence of stolen goods as a problem. Amazon takes a cut of every sale just like a fence. They have constructed their onboarding and process to "not know your customer" because

Maybe, but who is in the market for a parking lot?

It does not matter the point stands. I can think of almost nothing worse than data in spreadsheets that LOOKS good but is wrong.

by wstuartcl 4y ago
I do not know what's worse. Missing data you need to populate, or having an AI populate data that LOOKS right. ugh I do know what is worse.

ffs the difference is the entity exists for the shares, the penalty for the breach impacted the shareholders -- what makes you think that when a merger judgment is filed that a penalty for the misacting buyer would simply be left on the ba

Back in the GPU scalping-craziness days of covid many online vendors limited purchases to 1 per household and that limit was enforced by full name, zip and billing address. With privacy you could generate one time use cards and use random n

Twitter and the shareholders exist as an entity until the sale is complete. The billion + legal fees would go to that entity (and the shareholders) before musk takes ownership of the entity. There is an order of events in a merger/s

this. and the fact that his funding for twitter (which he will be forced to close on settlement or not) is mostly margin funding against his tesla/spacex shares the house of cards is on a shaky table. Variations in value on either si

by wstuartcl 4y ago
Well, if he wants to settle it should be for the contracted price + the billion contract clause + legal fees. Twitter has like a 99% chance to win in court and get all of this + additional breach judgement -- with what Musk has done in th

I think you are conflating a stronger dollar against the wrong cause. The strong dollar is here because of the interest rate hikes and global market insecurities -- it is lower risk and higher base interest to plant yourself on USD right

Step one fill the tub. Step two turn on a pump which is submerged in the tub that is attached to a pipe that has a faucet (this is not related to the real faucet/in wall pipe at all). Step three free running water for as long as the c

You could have a plumber or handy person take a small sump pump some pipe and a faucet and create a pseudo faucet that just pumps the exiting water from the bath up through a faucet all for the low cost of a few cents of electricity per hou

I think this is actually the majority of the cancels. A host lists their unit on a bunch of different platforms (sometimes the same platform) with different costs and cancels all but the most expensive one last minute.

I agree with everything you have said in this thread, the one area I would take a slightly different approach with is that some of the best algorithmic advances do come from people and teams looking at a problem anew -- without examining a

thats the rub, the companies dont need to pay you on exit and they can manage against the average they would have granted in the first place and prune employees taking more. net win.

I would have agreed with you 5 or 10 years ago, full stop. Today, we live in a society where crackpot ideas are being shared by acquaintances, but unlike 10 years ago there is no common sense and logic being applied at the value and fact
