    Sounds like a horrible idea since the insurance pool is limited to the size of the ship. Hopefully at least it’s averaged by value rather than number of containers so that if someo…

    The second device can be as cheap as $17 known as a “Streaming Stick” and treated as a throwaway component.

    “easy deployment” makes bug fixes fast, and the subscription business model gives the developer a financial incentive to make those fixes. I’d say the average Web app is more robus…

    That’s like saying “learn to drive a Formula One car if you want to feel safe driving at 65 miles an hour.” Sure, it works, but it’s impractical and unnecessary for everyone to do …
