The people and places i know of see them are complementary. If you’re installing a custom rpm in your docker image, you store the rpm in artifactory and the final image in ecr. The pricing on bandwidth was crazy to use it as a docker repo last I looked, which was a while ago. There’s a ton of value in hosting all the private repo types.

Overdrive is great, I get most of my books this way now through the library. it does work with kindles as well, bounces through the amazon store where they give you a time limited kindle book. I definitely hate feeling stuck in amazon with the books I do own having drm on them

It's not so much the total cost, but the fact that there's so much nickel and diming. When Trace Analytics came out they tried getting us to turn it on, and its like...we're already paying for APM and you want to charge us more, at least tell us how much more and they couldn't. I think it probably ended up not being a ton of money, but just the question was enough for us to not do it. From working with other providers, it's also much easier working with our finance if we can say 'it costs at most this' instead of 'it costs at least this'

Yea, specifically with Citibank’s external transfers interface. You can write yourself a check for the full amount, but then you’re limited by ally’s edeposit limit or mailing it. Or if ally can do an ach pull that’d work too.

My reaction to this was it’s their laptop, and wfh doesn’t really change that. I don’t even care about network sniffing, but man camera and mic access seems iffy. At least camera I can physically block.

I do think there’s a difference between an Alexa and my employer getting 24 access to my mic. By being in more people’s houses Alexa is much more likely to be detected if doing something nefarious, and the choice to risk it is entirely up to me. Find a new job is much harder than the alternative to voice command

My sister was on a respirator for three days pre-covid. Came out refusing food and drink for weeks, hated us, thought the nurses were trying to inject bleach in her ivs. It’s rough, totally feel for what you went through

Did a bunch of research, this isn’t covid specific, some huge percentage of people in the icu go through this but it’s not publicized nearly enough. The worst part is it’s a known thing, but there’s zero mental health support coming out of it. Especially since my sister went to rehab, they just weren’t staffed for it but couldn’t get her to people who were until the rehab ran it’s course.

for the US regions, california is already ~25% more expensive, so this just reduces the difference

I own my own modem. I tell my mom to rent Comcast’s router and modem. It’s like you said, it’s just not worth having to support it when things go wrong. Comcast is so fast to just say come in and get a new one if anything is odd, it rules out a hundred dollar piece of equipment being the problem quickly.

more like lose money on most but make up for it later. bots are just an unfortunate fact you have to amortize into your costs.

Let's say you see 75% bot traffic. You make $10 per actual user. If youre spending $2 per action with 4 actions, you burn $6(75%) on bots, $2(25%) on a real user($8 total), and get $10 - netting $2. So you're making money, but wasting more.

So, let's say you set your targeting to completely exclude the bots. Great, you spent $2 and made $10, netting $8. The problem though is you ruled out 90% of your traffic - you have false positives on whether its a bot so you exclude legit users(all of this targeting is fuzzy rule based). You can 10x the traffic with bots, making $20, but you cant 10x the perfect targeting, so youre stuck with $8.

One of the big problems is the reports are bad. Like some person just shotgunning the output of an automated script to every company in there without really understanding. Or we get a lot of “I can squat an s3 bucket with the company name in it and make it public” - no way! So filtering through to the good ones takes too many hands, and often times they’re like this one where it’s like...yea technically true but an acceptable enough risk.

But occasionally the “oh f#%^” report comes in...

true, i dont know for sure, but i used to work in the space and it's how everyone i knew thought about courier compensation. theres only so many dollars a customer will pay for delivery[during normal times, its probably less elastic now] whether it's tips or delivery/service fees, and after cost of goods only so much left.

even if they technically do, i can almost guarantee you the product managers are looking at the total income per hour going to these workers inclusive of tips, and tuning their base pay or whatever they call their contribution to hit a specific total based on average/median/etc tips.

I believe the last couple larger outages were a networking config push that was bad, wouldn’t be surprised to see the same thing again

yea, i was trying to keep things simplified, but it has to proxy through something behind the vpc endpoint. could also say its not technically ssh

os login is probably a little closer to ec2 instance connect because you still need ssh inbound access right? whereas aws provides a bastion here

A db that backs lots of time based graphs. They generally hit some pathological cases for general dbs. Frequent write of small data, most recent time is very hot so sharding is tricky, queries generally pull lots of little bits of data in from long time ranges, resolution of past data can often be lowered, etc.

Opentsdb for instance was built on top of Hbase because implementing one naively in hbase hits tons of performance issues.

ive never seen it for sales either, but ive seen it for recruiting. get everyone in a room, give them a linkedin search, and tell them to add people to a spreadsheet for sourcers to reach out to. i always nope out of those, they cant really force you to give up your friends, so id just ignore any expectation of leveraging contacts

In a competitor app, I’m guessing it’s the same for Uber, bikers got paid more per mile because it was assumed to take longer. Also, bikers dont need proof of car insurance

It's even worse than just putting pressure on the employee. my manager has a number of days he thinks is reasonable, his manager has another, and his manager has yet another - and at one point a minimum was higher than another's maximum.

It really isnt fair, I don't know employee who actually considers it a benefit. It's like a contract, just write it down so everyone knows what to expect.

The recipe thing, there's two different people that read these. People coming in from search only care about the recipe, and in that situation the story is mildly annoying. But even if I don't read it, I do find it at least a mild indicator that there's a human being that actually tried the recipe.

But I've subscribed to some food blogs because the recipes are decent and the stories make it interesting - otherwise, a series of recipes in my rss would just be incredibly boring. In this case it's closer to a tv personality you'd watch on tv than a recipe book.

This was a while ago, maybe even before i families, but our boss refused to use ebs at the time because of the ebs failure a couple years before that. What changed his mind was a instance termination that took way to long to recover from, and there been a ton of ebs improvement since then

We did the same, self hosted to Rds was so much easier. I didn’t think it had a proxy though, and the new proxy is still just MySQL, so still needs pgbouncer?

Roku TVs are one of the higher rated smart tv platforms, so is there a difference between plugging in a roku device or just using a roku tv?

Every Bay Area company I’ve worked for(except 1) does not have QA. It’s expected by the time the dev merges it it’s been appropriately tested and can go straight to prod, so no need to wait. Fewer, smaller releases is generally better when something does go wrong as well, it’s more obvious which change is the problem.

The one that did have qa, the devs were incredibly lazy about testing, relying entirely on someone else to make sure it worked. I’d say the overall product was better with qa but the point at which a developer called it done was way worse.

I don’t see how that data is all that valuable. There’s the inherent network effect of needing to install it to send/receive money from a friend who did.

But a surprising number of people will pay for instant transfer(almost all of that 300m probably comes from this), and the debit cards they get to take in a portion of the merchant transaction fees. They’ll probably be profitable off that, with p2p as a loss leader to drive installs

This is https://slackhq.com/new-slack-features-invites-message-forma... right? Isn’t there an option to turn this off with the show formatting button?

edit: oh nm i only noticed the ui, not that it totally broke typing

It’s storage cache they put in your isp so if you and your neighbor watch the same thing, it only goes the first hop from your house to the isp instead of all the way to Netflix, which is much cheaper for the isp. This is a fairly common thing that cdns do

It mentions partnerships with a discount and rev share generates a lot of sales, so probably even lower than that

But it was also twelve months of side project time, not full time

They’ve been sending notices for months they may be shutting off power. The fear they seem to be trying to generate, it almost seems like they’re gonna try to ransom power, raising rates or get bailed out.

There’s a video that I really like, talking about the same research that knowledge based jobs, bonuses decrease performance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc&feature=player_emb...
