Regarding 2), you could just make healthcare insurance mandatory. We have that in The Netherlands.

I think it's already part of proposal [1] to generate a healthy chunk of the power required for the six North Sea countries. The video [2] is pretty interesting. [1] https://iabr.n…

The XKCD method of generating passwords [1] does not imply 'best case' entropy of crackers going after each individual character. Instead it clearly states 44 bits of entropy which…

I think the rough IPv6 equivalent of a single IPv4 ban would be to ban a /64 subnet. This bans all users in that subnet which is the same as banning an IPv4 subnet hiding behind a …

I agree. Nuclear fission power seems to be associated with a negative learning curve [1][2]. This means that as the newly installed capacity goes up, price per unit actually increa…

Not really although you probably need to use quite a bit of traffic before it becomes a problem. Your example of personal use only seems fine. There was a post here a while ago (th…

They do, yes. Rounded up to the nearest 100ms, scaled for chosen RAM capacity: https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing/ Note that this doesn't measure actual RAM use, although they d…

I always wonder if there's easy way to know where current global internet interruptions are, anyone know? In this case it apparently was Telia [1] but how do you figure that out? T…

I thought that too but I successfully raised our limit after they made it a soft limit, so give it a shot!

"APIs should be designed synchronously, and the callers should orchestrate concurrency if they choose" Just to add to this, I found the blog post he mentions[1] towards the bottom …

This just shows we really do need a step towards an 'appstore-like' permissions model for desktop operating systems. There is just no reason for all these software packages to have…

If you're interested in this, John Oliver did a piece on elected judges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poL7l-Uk3I8

Like passwords, sharing API keys is usually a bad thing. For some sites it is overkill or simply not possible but for something like AWS there is no excuse not to make individual I…

Interestingly IPv6 removed the checksum from its packet header [1], delegating this work to the higher protocols such as TCP and UDP.[2] So I guess that raises the chance of an inv…

As someone who just set up IPv6 tunnels to both home and the office, I had no issues with 6in4 (proto-41) traffic with both ISPs I used. This is in The Netherlands.

This removes infrastructure from the equation entirely. You already had AWS Lambda which could run small pieces of Java or Javascript code when certain events were fired from other…

Good point, I found that quite interesting too. He mentions Martin O'Malley as the person responsible in some degree and then follows with this quote: "And, hey, if he's the Democr…

Chrome on Windows automatically leaves a process running even when you close the last window. I remember because I had to manually disable it some time ago.

This is an unfair comparison. Like others have mentioned in this thread they have subtle items in their terms and conditions that prevent you from actually using all that bandwidth…

You don't need big data for (3), we use mongo sharding primarily for spreading database write load. Not saying that it's the best way to do that but it's what we use it for and I d…

There's actually an interesting demo of the blueprints feature in the toolset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hwhH7upYFE#t=384

The people in the space station have the odd problem of being a couple of centimeters taller and outgrowing their chairs when they go home after a few months. Described by Dutch as…
