You are assuming quality applicants are evenly distributed in terms of time of application - they aren’t. If you cut off at 100, you will only get a sample of people spewing fully …

I built something like this a long time ago. I actually used a FUSE filesystem to present a file interface to the calling application, then a policy engine to determine who could a…

Man, you have a love of arguments to authority. Just saying that everyone else thinks something isn't an argument and condescending to everyone isn't compelling, especially when yo…

This is...not true. Attacking key infrastructure is an act of war. Just because they try to do it secretly doesn't change that fact. 'Grey zone' tactics doesn't make any difference…

This doesn't seem that useful? Svalbard would require significant, continued supply. Unless the Russian navy is able to own the Barrents Sea, any force on Svalbard could just be wa…

~70% of desktop computing today is performed on MS devices ( https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide ). Virtually all of that 70% is done on a paid operating s…

Because the writing has been on the wall that people are no longer going to pay for operating systems. That means that MS has to replace all that Windows revenue with services reve…

Pretty sure those services are only for transferring data into S3, not out.

8% of revenue in perpetuity seems like a licensing deal, not payment for services. WP is arguing that they don't need a license deal to deliver their service which seems to be true…

Did you read the PDF? WP Engine answers this - quote below. They employed (or used to employ) WordPress core contributors and have spent lots of money in the community. It's not 'M…

Narrative Bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative_bias is pretty close.

The Cost and Usage Report (CUR) from AWS is just a fine-grained listing of all the resources in your account and their cost. It can be dumped out on different schedules (hourly, da…

Undecided did a couple of videos on this technology. It seems quite useful for heat storage - as other commenters have noted, it isn't that efficient for pure electric electric sto…

Second sentence in the linked GitHub: While SQLite supports the special filename :memory: that allows the creation of databases in memory, there is no built-in way to populate such…

Yes. https://jaas.8x8.vc/#/

I'm guessing both have ways for non-profits to take donations without the normal 30% cut. Here's Apple's program: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/nonprofits/

Not the OP, but I assume they mean the requirement by society on how well individuals conform to the expectations of that society. In high compliance societies, individuals are ost…

Once a company starts selling ads, privacy is no longer in their interest. Even paid customers will get lumped in to monitoring and reporting to satisfy / push up ad revenues.

Victim blaming here isn't really very helpful. Cars should be designed with an eye towards how they perform in an emergency. There is a reasonable case that Tesla didn't do that. A…

In many situations (daycare, elder care) the caregivers are by no means strangers. My 2 year old spends as much or more time with her daycare teachers and classmates than she does …

I can't read the article (paywall), but in general - you can't. E&Y (and the other audit firms) have very real conflict rules that prevent audit customers from using advisory servi…

I got the 500 version based on this article from Wirecutter. Works well, but does require that we leave the door open for a while to let the plastic dry. Silent though. Most of the…

Yes. Many of the privacy and data protections are not based on where the data is stored, but rather where the people who provided that data reside. For example, GDPR (an EU regulat…

I get the resistance to whitewashing, but the terminology of 'processing' seems more accurate. Killing the animal is only the beginning of the process and is generally the least ti…
