t3rabytes··on An Alleged Fraud Uncovered by a Short Seller Ends in Gunfire
Firms that handle lemon law cases in my state operate this way, too -- no fee for the client assuming the case is actually worth a damn because the law includes a provision that the automaker pays the legal fees if they win a buyback/replacement/remedy.
t3rabytes··on Apple M1 Ultra
Epic doesn’t do lootboxes, next.
t3rabytes··on Apple M1 Ultra
A recent keynote compared an Apple series chip to an Xbox One S, can’t remember which though.
t3rabytes··on Gov.uk Platform as a Service
https://cloud.gov/ is available to government customers to kind-of fill this need, not to the public tho. :/
t3rabytes··on AWS Lambda Powertools (TypeScript)
This is one step away from being another example of a project with an awful name from AWS. If it was "AWS Lambda Powertools for TypeScript" they'd save it, but no.
t3rabytes··on More on housing price inflation (2021)
2008's problem was also that banks didn't have much oversight/regulation on what they had to verify when writing new loans. That is not the case today -- lenders are far more strict on what criteria you have to meet for a new mortgage.
t3rabytes··on Hetzner announcement: Price changes for servers ordered via the Server Auction
Most US rates are typically fixed with yearly rate regulation cycles -- my rate in North Carolina ($0.11/kWh iirc) was determined at the beginning of last year by the state energy regulatory agency (the power company fills out this extensive application saying "this is what we want to charge and why" and typically it's like a 50-100% increase, and the state says "hell no")
t3rabytes··on Ask HN: What is your home networking setup?
Eero Pro 6 because I don’t want to deal with technology after 5pm.
t3rabytes··on Microsoft to Acquire Activision Blizzard
I think Game Pass has built up a helluva goodwill bucket, from talking with friends of mine.
t3rabytes··on The state of external retina displays
Looks cool, but I haven’t heard of this monitor once before — I suspect it’s likely because Huawei’s brand has been mildly killed by the US govt (I also don’t see that monitor on US Amazon).
t3rabytes··on Example Domain
It’s IANA directly: https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved
t3rabytes··on JFK Assassination Records – 2021 Additional Documents Release
> all the pages are all redacted

I'm not sure if I'm missing a joke here, those are easily legible.

t3rabytes··on Apple Open Source
They do contribute a decent bit to Kubernetes per https://k8s.devstats.cncf.io/d/9/companies-table?orgId=1, but they’re still prettyyyyyyy low on the list (31 as of this writing).
t3rabytes··on Improving GitHub Code Search
Go had this issue for a while, too, it's finally started to calm down as Go hits a mainstream that is (imo) much farther than Rust is currently. I think much is just people trying to add validity to Rust for large-scale production workloads, in the same way that Kubernetes was "a compute scheduler written in Go" or Terraform was "infrastructure as code written in Go" (maybe those are bad examples, but I know I've seen the "X written in Go" thing going on).
t3rabytes··on Amazon packages pile up after AWS outage spawns delivery havoc
They decided to run their infra in AWS instead of another cloud provider or on-prem?

why is McDonalds dependent on AWS for their app to work? (/s)

t3rabytes··on California port truckers ‘drowning’ in supply chain inefficiencies
> (aka able to automate)

It's right there.

t3rabytes··on Nitrogen fertilizer shortage threatens to cut global crop yields – CF Industries
Grass seed has also seen wild shortages + price increases this year, mostly due to droughts hitting the northwest and driving yields incredibly low this year.
t3rabytes··on Michelin Airless
Michelin has been talking about these things for years and has yet to actually put them into production. All talk and no show.
t3rabytes··on FOIA requests show Apple’s emails pitching state agencies on IDs and Wallet app
Except that isn't how it works.

> Only after authorizing with Face ID or Touch ID is the requested identity information released from their device, which ensures that just the required information is shared and only the person who added the driver’s license or state ID to the device can present it. Users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device to present their ID.

t3rabytes··on Cast AI vs. Spot.io: Two approaches to automated cloud cost optimization
I’ve written lots in the past on Spot + EKS, I’m intimately familiar with it.
t3rabytes··on Cast AI vs. Spot.io: Two approaches to automated cloud cost optimization
I've used Spot.io in the past and it's fine, but I have a hard time trusting something that is literally a marketing blog post about why X product is better than Y product, from the maker of X product.
t3rabytes··on SpaceX ships 100k Starlink terminals to customers
Every time I’ve slapped my address in on the site (also central NC) it says they’re no serving my area yet
t3rabytes··on T-Mobile Confirms It Was Hacked

t3rabytes··on Internet and TV providers get away with jacking up your bill
Until you sign up for AT&T Fiber what tacks on a $10 equipment fee that does allow taxes.
t3rabytes··on HHS announces rule to protect consumers from surprise medical bills
Anecdata: I spent 5 days in ICU in 2018 and had a $350k bill from a California hospital, which my insurance company paid $200k for after adjustments and discounts. I wouldn’t say $10m for 6 months is far off.
t3rabytes··on A Beginner’s Guide to Miles Davis
I can’t find much context around this. Got some links?

Are there any books on it?
t3rabytes··on FTC and several states sue Frontier Communications regarding internet speeds
This could just be pinned down to Frontier using fiber and Spectrum using coax, yes?
