You pay for the underlying instances + storage provisioning, so performance is price-configurable.

Now they just need to support the Foreign Data Wrapper extension with egress connections. Really wish that was built in because FDW itself is amazing, and AWS RDS is easy to manage…

Kind of strange that there's no mention of actual behavioral genomics research here. Aside from the quip that: > Scientists have found some genetic code that contributes to heredit…

Opportunity is not evenly distributed, yes. But neither is skill. > Basic income doesn't come off the backs of small business, and that is a silly reason to be so afraid of it. Wha…

Depends on the effect size. You probably only need n = 5 for a confident answer to the question "What happens when you are shot in the head?"

You lost me with your jargon, not sure what your point is there. Regardless, being _biased_ is most definitely _not_ the substance of any interesting critique of media. Rather, it'…

Frankly, this is wilfully ignorant. To suggest that the production of media is devoid of political or ideological interest beyond ad dollars is, I think, stretching the boundary of…

The content in this article is disgusting and despicable. I will be moving my code from GitHub as soon as possible.

You're an entryist. I hope anyone reading your comment reads the rest of the thread to which you link. Much sanity is to be found.
