My company spends $8,000,000/month on storage and $4,000,000/month on data with aws... In the financial reports we do we round this number away. Make of that what you will

I have been working on a very similar build. One feature I decided was a requirement is holding me up. I really want pogo pins on the sides of the keyboards, so that they magnetica…

The problem there would be your breaker. I am not an electrition but I can tell you that when I tried adding a heated MAU to my house, I had to switch to a 120v washer/dryer becaus…

This is why being in low interest debt is so amazing. Take two people with the exact same job tracks, same appartments, family, interests, etc... But give one of them $2,000,000 in…

I disagree, I think they are bad business. I have come to absolutely detest online shopping. I have to return so much stuff, live with so many things that I don't actually love, ge…

I have worked for a few defense contractors in my time. There is significantly more diversity outside of defense than inside defense. I had a team of 14 with 2 women and 1 non-whit…

I found the plugin did not prompt the model often enough. I would finish writing aline, and go to a new line and sit there waiting to see what the AI thought would be next, only to…

A quick google search of "BYD Mexico" tells me it is already starting.

The purpose is to prop up local companies. Which is not always a bad idea, having a local supply and innovation of something can be rather important, local money is less "Gone" tha…

I think its a symptom of economies of scale being able to go too far. Cost per unit seems to keep going down basically infinitely and it is a problem. Making less than 10,000 of an…

The problem here is that apple only provides Metal as the graphics driver. This solution instead creates a native Vulkan driver which has solutions to hardware vulkan incompatibili…

Have you never been at work being forced to do something because you need money but you just are not feeling it that day? Obvious mistakes will ALWAYS happen, regardless of rules, …

If it makes you feel better, there is a miniscule that the people responsible for it, the people who permitted it, and the executives who oversaw it could possibly go to prison for…

I think something that companies often miss is that improving the experience in an area where you have a monopoly can still increase profits by encouraging increased usage of that …

I don't know about you, but I also find concerts very strange and off putting. Like, is "Denver" really a special crowd? I'm pretty sure you are doing a very staged reppeded perfor…

Yeah but unless you are deploying a bunch of them, its only like $3/year each

I honestly find the lack of compiler/interpreter complexity disheartening. It often feels like as a community we don't have an interest in making better tools than those we started…

There will probably be 2 huge winners, and everyone else will fail. Similar to the solar boom.

Depends on the app size also. Is your app as large and important as the OS of the device (Chrome/facebook/etc...) you should probably have similar language across devices. Is your …

T&C being enforceable and acknowledged by court systems is a true failure of modern society. There should be a hard character limit on any enforceable T&C agreed to by individuals.…

He very likely should have at least been tried (and probably acquitted). I don't understand this modern take so many people have that "Freedom to act" somehow means "act without co…

If you want a really fun time, try to explain that Border control, immigration, and citizenship are all large government bodies enacting a government created construct wherein they…

I suspect, starting from the ground up is part of why people are so interested in these companies. The ICE car market is a massive market, which taking a part of required massive l…

I imagine datadog's AWS bill is also out of control, considering all the absurd levels of queries/groupings you can do. I used to work on a growing AWS product with tons of feature…

The amount of public real-estate we dedicate exclusively to enabling peoples usage of their private property in the united states (and to lesser extents all other countries really)…
