What's the benefit with cramming a team of say 8 people in the same room? Not sure I follow.

Guessing they calculated it to 1m and 4cm and then messed up the units.

Probably similar in sweden. I'm sure I could get a second or third opinion without a problem (for anything potentially serious). Maybe someone would start question what I'm doing if I ask for >3 doctors but I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
evfanknitram··on The Effect of Sleep on Happiness
Yes, the link I gave pointed that out. I just questioned that he hadn't found a link since there are so many studies available. If there are associations between sleeping lock and many illnesses then of course sleeping long could be an indication of an issue.
evfanknitram··on The Effect of Sleep on Happiness
You do not seem to be talking of the same thing. He wrote:

> It may be indicative of a health issue

Now you write:

> No study I've seen seems to suggest there's any problem with sleeping more up to something like 12 hrs/night I think

So he said it may be an indication of an issue, and you write that it may not be unhealthy to sleep a lot. Those are two different things.

As for your claim: A quick search returns many hits related to issues caused by sleeping more than ~9 hours. I have not reviewed them (I spent 1 minute on this) so can't say if the studies well performed. Example:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19473367 "Prolonged sleep duration (night-time sleep and daytime napping) may be associated with an increased risk of dementia."

But saying that no study would even suggest there would be a problem seems strange considering I found a bunch of them in a minute. Maybe you have done a deeper review of the studies and concluded that they are invalid, or?

What does "type of car" mean here? Is it brand+price or something else?

I meant tiny as in maybe not even worth pointing out since people will understand it anyway.

Tiny correction: Should be 1.53 TB, not 1.53 GB

The Remote IP is almost as sensitive as SNI right?
evfanknitram··on Why you should not use Google Cloud
I know what a SLA means but I have never seen an SLA from Azure dictating a guaranteed response time. They only give the SLA for time until initial reply as far as I know. I was suspecting the person I replied to have misunderstood what it is they have purchased. Maybe in some cases if you pay them some obscene amount of money you can purchase an SLA for for time til resolution but I don't think that's the case here.
evfanknitram··on Why you should not use Google Cloud
> Yet their support didn't ever solve a problem within their SLA's

What does this mean?

evfanknitram··on I discovered a browser bug
My entirely anecdotal experience is that they are white-hat friendly some time. My last experience was super good.
evfanknitram··on I discovered a browser bug
Last time I reported a security issue to Microsoft I got reply same day and a confirmation that it was in fact an issue some day later. And then a few days later they notified me that my report was eligible for a bounty (I didn't have to ask).

This was the opposite experience of my previous report where the bug was acknowledged 9 months later and then fixed another 3 later.

I wonder if it just depends on whether your report ends up in a escalation path with lots of busy people.

So if you are out of resources, cross the border at another point and then seek asylum the proper response it to lock up your kids.

I think there's enough arguments for extended leaves already. This just seems like an added bonus to me.

At least where I live there's rules against making money when home with kid (government pay you to be home with kid).

evfanknitram··on Show HN: Mentat – group chat with tags and pretty good privacy
Is it trademarked?
evfanknitram··on Ask HN: Developers, how do you keep SSH and web URLs organized at work?
But does it have RBAC, revocation, central auditing, corporate compliance approval, a corporate approved supplier, a support contract spanning 5 years at least?

Otherwise pointy hair boss will bitch.

I really enjoy PowerShell :)
evfanknitram··on Microsoft acquires Github
I think you replied to the wrong thread? I replied to a poster who didn't understand why some people were fans of Microsoft.
evfanknitram··on Microsoft acquires Github
Because their developer tools are pretty good and finding jobs as a .NET developer is pretty easy?
evfanknitram··on Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire GitHub
Are these only available in Home edition? I'm in pro edition and have ever seen any ads. I also use ClassicShell start menu so maybe that's why I never see it...

evfanknitram··on GDPR will pop the adtech bubble
I have no idea what you mean. I was not talking about GDPR.
evfanknitram··on GDPR will pop the adtech bubble
That seems like a weak argument though. Two humans can also have same name and zipcode. They can also have same personal number and bank account number if they are in different countries. Without tracking and correlation, most information on its own is useless.

Why would she have to sign a form and wait a day to be eligible?

I have never had to sign a form to get healthcare here.

evfanknitram··on Facebook Q1 2018 Earnings Slides [pdf]
Yes. I'm from Sweden and have seen zero about this except for a in a few tech communities like parts of reddit and HN. From my outsider perspective it feels like people in the bubble thinking everyone is on board while in reality th large majority outside of the bubble doesn't even know there is a discussion.
evfanknitram··on AWS Route53 is down
And then you you have a stupid software bug and the redundant physical systems are not helping.

Azure Storage is a available in a ton of locations and all of them stopped working because Microsoft forgot to roll out their patch to renew the SSL certificate. So they knew about the issue but rolling out the patch was not done.

Another example was when they introduced HTTP2 for CDN endpoints and forgot to test the cipher list with popular browsers and broke compatibility with Firefox ESR.

evfanknitram··on AWS Route53 is down
The Twitter post says it's Google DNS having issues querying. Are you sure the issue is with AWS Route 53 and not some routing issue between Google and AWS?
