Agency heads can be SES and can make more than GS-15, but the max is still far lower than private sector equivalent.

Right up there with New Relic writing a blog post about how you couldn't trust Sumo Logic (and should move to NR) after they got bought by Francisco Partners, only to be bought by …

It was available for 6 years (2011-2017), that's hardly a failure relative to other Apple products that have only made it through 2 cycles (the most recently iPhone Mini sub-family…

Bezos isn't the CEO, and hasn't been since 2021.

It seemed like the initial Direct File rollout was limited to states that didn't have a state-level income tax, or directly cooperated with the IRS. Are they forcing all states to …

Essentially. Take the Visa credit card lines for example -- Visa Infinite cards have a higher transaction fee than a Visa Signature card, and the high-end travel cards will be of t…

It works (and is the best option bar-none) until the big few lobby the state to outright ban municipal ISPs as happened in my state (NC). So frustrating.

This isn't true -- all Aldi locations accept SNAP EBT. https://www.aldi.us/about-us/snap-ebt-payment/

AWS has a UI for resources in the cluster but it relies on the IAM role you're using in the console to have configured perms in the cluster, and our AWS SSO setup prevents that fro…

Yep, I'd say >half of the teams with K8s services have adopted KEDA, but we've got some HPA stragglers for sure.

HPA is useful until your maxReplicas count is set too low and you're already tapped out.

My current company is split... maybe 75/25 (at this point) between Kubernetes and a bespoke, Ansible-driven deployment system that manually runs Docker containers on nodes in an AW…

They might not still have the game source and/or knowledge on how to recompile the game. There are lots of technical reasons that it might be entirely unworkable to do that even if…

More info in a directive from 1/14/24, https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/directives/ed-24-01-mitigat... : > CISA has observed widespread and active exploitation of vulnerabilities i…

Tesla's insurance product wasn't/isn't available in my state (NC), so I can't speak too much to it.

My own experience with having our (now-lease-returned) Model 3 backs up collision repairs being more expensive. I live a major metro that has a single repair shop certified to work…

I brought this up in another thread, but the floor level is a couple inches lower in the A320 series so the plane feels larger because you (both figuratively and literally) have mo…

One very tiny thing (well, big) that I love about the A320 family compared to the 737 family is that the load floor on the 32x is a couple inches lower which increases headspace (b…

Maybe I'm not trying to read books in the target market that my local library is trying to serve with what it has available on Libby, but I probably have a 5% success rate with boo…

Reverse engineered the API that iMessage uses and made an app for Android making use of them (while charging a fee for it). There's more to it than that (what got them smacked orig…

> because they wanted to promote using Apple Pay This is because Apple (and Google, in the case of Google Pay) take a small small cut for each of those NFC transactions (somewhere …

For me it’s about where I’m spending my time (YouTube), not so much the pure cost to make the content itself (Netflix, etc.). I spend far more time watching YouTube than anything e…

it's also kinda weird for "tiny Asian nation" to be applied to Nepal with a population of 30m. Compare that to... Bhutan with 700k.

I gotta be honest, I'm not sure what was expected? They spent $2b building this thing, it's brand new tech, it didn't host many shows last quarter (it was open for 1? full month of…
