Certainly there are people locked out of their bikes, but perhaps not for the reason you're thinking about. Just recently, I bought a NIB VanMoof on CL. The owner had never put tog…

Look up "Earth ships". I have a pretty good book on them, but will have to get back to my library before I could tell you what its title is. I was researching these for awhile and …

I don't think anyone has any idea how disorientating tech can be until they've witness this for themselves. Also how hostile and large a divide tech creates that the industry doesn…

Yes, but cognito endpoints and pools ids are regional and globally unique, and there is no way that I know of to setup duplicate userpools in multiple regions and have requests ser…

Cognito is one of the most frustrating AWS services I have to work with, it is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike an SP. We're using it to federate customer IDPs through user p…

I am not surprised, being that it's one of the oldest AWS services? What I do love about IAM is that with the work that the Automated Reasoning Group is doing with Zelkova, it's re…

Having spoken with core teams like IAM and Cloudformation teams at length, this appears to an internal AWS organizational issue. Those teams are not responsible for the services in…

I think it's a combination of CYA, government regulations, and simplifying operations for AWS. Without an ICP, you're not allowed any web presence in CN, which would require AWSCN …

You'll still have to go over the firewall, you'll just be closer to it. It will be nice to see if the new region decreases the latency between the cn-north-1 or cn-northwest-1 regi…

> I'm owning a X1 Carbon Just curious, what generation X1? Gen3s through gen5s in our fleet have been quite robust, but Gen6 have been problematic from the linux support side. We h…

> If it’s DNS, don’t be too clever and name it Route 53. Name it Amazon Cloud DNS. Then anyone knows how to look for it in the console, web search for it, etc. Please no. The uniqu…

Coming from a family of people in the medical professions, they've all seen reports of how _everything_ is going change in their fields because some new computer program can do X..…

Even when you have control over both endpoints, months of uninterrupted service will be punctuated with weeks of playing hide and seek with the Firewall. BTDT. The problem is when …

You're missing the point. Even if you go through the entire process, get all the licenses, find excellent local partners, setup your infrastructure correctly, and only publish what…

I have friends in Shenzhen who regularly walk across the border to connect to HK LTE just to get important work done. And their office has 4? different ISPs, so I know it's a bad d…

This article also doesn't touch on the simple technical pains of having to work across the Great Firewall and the effects of it their ability to do business outside of China. Even …

I live a couple of blocks from this boondoggle, but some of the issues aren't strictly the streetcars fault. For instance, this very morning while walking my dogs, a DC tow truck s…

Having just come off a stint with Azure, my experience with generic names (like many you suggested and like most Azure service name) is that they're huge negatives. It makes search…

One can only hope this effort improves the miserable MSBuild documentation. Exposure to the .Net ecosystem and MSBuild are recently events for me, and I can't say I've had a day wh…

How are they poor choices? Methinks you're just looking in wrong places if they're languages you want to continue using at a job. Embedded is hot right now, so sign up for the Jack…

Remember, this is Microsoft we're talking about here, which means we've got about 50/50 chance of only half the company actually following through and implementing this ;) Do not, …

I've been spending some time myself designing remote phosphor lighting and I'm wondering if they've really developed a new remote phosphor technology, or if they're sourcing a cust…

If that were only the case... My parents live in one of these rural Western Massachusetts towns building their own fiber networks, Leverett, Ma. The town, is which directly north o…

If anything, riding against traffic in the lane of traffic freaks out drivers and their reactions to it aren't always good (there are bunch of contra flow dedicated bike lanes in D…

Retro reflectives and their impact on accident rates is still pretty contentious within the bicycle community, and personally, I think it gives people a false and very dangerous se…
