My company spends $8,000,000/month on storage and $4,000,000/month on data with aws... In the financial reports we do we round this number away. Make of that what you will

I have been working on a very similar build. One feature I decided was a requirement is holding me up. I really want pogo pins on the sides of the keyboards, so that they magnetically attach and the left will charge the right. How do you ch

The problem there would be your breaker. I am not an electrition but I can tell you that when I tried adding a heated MAU to my house, I had to switch to a 120v washer/dryer because my electric panel did not have space for another 208v

This is why being in low interest debt is so amazing. Take two people with the exact same job tracks, same appartments, family, interests, etc... But give one of them $2,000,000 in mortgage debt at 3.0% interest on 3 properties that are ren

I disagree, I think they are bad business. I have come to absolutely detest online shopping. I have to return so much stuff, live with so many things that I don't actually love, generate sooooo much trash, and spend hours on hours rese

I have worked for a few defense contractors in my time. There is significantly more diversity outside of defense than inside defense. I had a team of 14 with 2 women and 1 non-white male. I had a team of 10 with 0 women and 0 non-white male

I found the plugin did not prompt the model often enough. I would finish writing aline, and go to a new line and sit there waiting to see what the AI thought would be next, only to realize continue wasn't prompting...

The purpose is to prop up local companies. Which is not always a bad idea, having a local supply and innovation of something can be rather important, local money is less "Gone" than foreign money, think of how healthy small towns

I think its a symptom of economies of scale being able to go too far. Cost per unit seems to keep going down basically infinitely and it is a problem. Making less than 10,000 of anything just doesn't seem to make economic sense unless

Have you never been at work being forced to do something because you need money but you just are not feeling it that day? Obvious mistakes will ALWAYS happen, regardless of rules, regulations, human involvement, process, etc. It's thou

If it makes you feel better, there is a miniscule that the people responsible for it, the people who permitted it, and the executives who oversaw it could possibly go to prison for not doing it. fiduciary duty baby!

I don't know about you, but I also find concerts very strange and off putting. Like, is "Denver" really a special crowd? I'm pretty sure you are doing a very staged reppeded performance but making us think its specially

I honestly find the lack of compiler/interpreter complexity disheartening. It often feels like as a community we don't have an interest in making better tools than those we started with. Communicating with the compiler, and genera
