Start with something concrete / specific? Ie, based on your experience Palo Alto residents litter more than folks visiting?

Apple falls over after big events for developers etc. Is there not a cashing layer locally at ISP level - ie, push '209 out in advance to ISP cache, then everyone can gobble it up when you announce and link on your website?
I've downloaded lots of stuff from google. Its rarely slow.
I use cloudfront on AWS - also rarely slow.
Apple - often slow. They have billions - is there something wrong with their caching layer at ISPs etc?
I'm curious if there will be room for increased automation in these abusive manual labor areas in logistics. Warehouse work, truck driving etc. If these could be automated, then the workers would no longer be subject to the horrible abuse we read about. Amazon and other I could imagine leading some of these efforts eventually.
Not sure however that moves to reduce manual labor will reduce inequality, the person who owns the equipment that replaces 100 workers may take the profits from that ownership.
The analogy would have worked if Trevor had actually tried to drive the "fully functional" vehicle that wasn't a "pusher" around. Even if it had failed, then we'd have seen the truth there too.
They complied with the law and shut down. This further limited covid risks for their workers.
I don't know Azure but do know AWS. PITR restores are not in seconds but in hours and you lose data.
"... a user-initiated point-in-time-restore operation will be required. This operation can take several hours to complete, and any data updates that occurred after the latest restorable time (typically within the last five minutes) will not be available."
Failover with AWS is generally 1-4 minutes? Someone fill in the blanks here?
* The smallest multi-AZ with failover MSSQL you can get runs $1,503 on AWS.
* Undifferentiated Postgresql is pretty cheap - you should be able to get failover for about $110 or so there.
I'm just pointing out that commercial / differentiated product offerings (which is what this is), beyond just basic postgresql costing so LITTLE for HA would actually be somewhat unusual.
In enterprise sales these prices for HA are so low no one would even know how to contract for them. What happens is once you need this level of uptime you can afford it (in most cases).
Quick feedback my side - $150/month to try something and then $500/month in production is not unreasonable for I think a fair number of use cases. Making the "try it" pricing as cheap as possible, and feature limiting is a good thing I think so the onboarding step is easier.
Folks with money to spend are used to sometimes TERRIBLE support despite spending big money on big players. One thing these smaller places have, if you are giving them $10K/month - they usually answer the phone or email! A secret benefit.
The discussion is no longer logical. You can't say here is the law - here are facts - here is result. Now it's here is law (with lots of totally random elements and exceptions that are confusing for everyone involved if you actually try and comply with it - I've had folks says they promise they are independent businesses, and they look and act like it, but the law says things like if they don't have all the business licenses setup they are not, and some cities like SF require that if you do work for a company that has business in SF that work can be considered happening in SF and so you need to get licensed there etc etc).
I used to be a stickler for trying to get folks to comply with AB5 - but I'd guess we are at 70% noncomplaince still against letter of law - and it's not worth fighting employers AND contractors to get everyone to switch when they don't want to.
One workaround I've been recently is to hire out of state or look at offshoring - freelance writers are a good example where I don't think there is a way to really hire them legally in CA, but you can still hire them outside of state as I understand it. The mechanics of turning all authors into W2 employees is such a big leap, but most authors don't have all the right business licenses setup in every city they might have work appear.
Because $75 or $150 for HA on oracle is not going to happen - period.
It's just interesting how the price points are so wildly divergent.
You think your taxi driver is a W2 employee - please think again.
The number of carve outs in this new "principled" rule is incredible, and more industries keep asking for them (freelance writers, gig musicians etc). Laws should ideally be broadly and equally applied, not this here is the rule except for a, then b, then c,d,e depending on who can lobby in their exceptions.
Pathetic.
I've noticed the issue of big deploy sizes with docker including with interpreted and other big package languages (Java can haul around a ton + JVM etc). It's somewhat hard to get small container sizes even for a simple hello world program with these approaches.
Folks are doing 15MB docker images for Go. Google likes really stripped down things (low attack surface etc) - see their distroless initiative.
Seriously - check out your limits. I can ACH into the 100's of thousands but I can zelle basically nothing - I don't think you could run even a small payroll on zelle or make even a medium sized purchase with it.
The fraud story is horrendous.
The traceability and audit-ability of things is horrendous - seriously -> you CANNOT see where the funds are and no one will tell you / can tell you.
With a cancelled check image I get the back and I can trace down what account it went into if need be.
With a wire I get my reference number and can trace status that way.
With NACHA I can do Payment Trace Requests...
Zelle - forget it, the money is GONE and no way to trace who got it.
Zelle is horrendous and cannot die soon enough. How are people even considering this as a settlement service?
For context - Fedwire does something like trillions of dollars per day in activity. NACHA at least $100B per day+.
This idea that uber / lyft drivers (both phones are always running) can work for BOTH companies at the same time seems ridiculous to me.
One irony, all the gig economy workers do make a car a LOT less necessary if you are in an area well served by them.
I mean, I'm a user of the web, and I hated sites like this.
You score terribly among all major search providers I tried BTW. Your page-speed score was an F.
You have something like 50 redirect chains on a page with three words!!
Some of these chains are 20 items long (ie, 20 redirects). I mean - how does this even happen?
Quick heads up - This is going to rank terribly everywhere.
Yes, google does "penalize" content farms, and they did a big redo a while back to really try to push this type of 99% repeating content off their index. I've no doubt they hit some good sites, yours doesn't look like one at first glance, but even if I just go unlucky there were tons of sites (review sites / how to sites) that just had endless repeating content with very little originality.
How do folks at google even have time to deal with sites like this and these types of complaints "I confronted Matt" etc...
