You are assuming quality applicants are evenly distributed in terms of time of application - they aren’t. If you cut off at 100, you will only get a sample of people spewing fully automated application bots which mostly aren’t what you want

I built something like this a long time ago. I actually used a FUSE filesystem to present a file interface to the calling application, then a policy engine to determine who could access the file and what the contents were. The FUSE driver c

Man, you have a love of arguments to authority. Just saying that everyone else thinks something isn't an argument and condescending to everyone isn't compelling, especially when you are incorrect. US definition of critical infrast

This is...not true. Attacking key infrastructure is an act of war. Just because they try to do it secretly doesn't change that fact. 'Grey zone' tactics doesn't make any difference here. Green men, intel services, etc. a

This doesn't seem that useful? Svalbard would require significant, continued supply. Unless the Russian navy is able to own the Barrents Sea, any force on Svalbard could just be waited out. Once the diesel is out, the defenses go down

~70% of desktop computing today is performed on MS devices ( https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide ). Virtually all of that 70% is done on a paid operating system (mostly OEMs as you noted). W

Because the writing has been on the wall that people are no longer going to pay for operating systems. That means that MS has to replace all that Windows revenue with services revenue. Apple has already done this in that their services reve

Pretty sure those services are only for transferring data into S3, not out.

8% of revenue in perpetuity seems like a licensing deal, not payment for services. WP is arguing that they don't need a license deal to deliver their service which seems to be true? Therefore, the 8% just seems like a shakedown to get

Did you read the PDF? WP Engine answers this - quote below. They employed (or used to employ) WordPress core contributors and have spent lots of money in the community. It's not 'Matt's Product' but an open source code b

The Cost and Usage Report (CUR) from AWS is just a fine-grained listing of all the resources in your account and their cost. It can be dumped out on different schedules (hourly, daily, monthly) and in different formats (CSV, Parquet). It is

Undecided did a couple of videos on this technology. It seems quite useful for heat storage - as other commenters have noted, it isn't that efficient for pure electric <-> electric storage. * How a Sand Battery Could Change the E

I'm guessing both have ways for non-profits to take donations without the normal 30% cut. Here's Apple's program: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/nonprofits/

Not the OP, but I assume they mean the requirement by society on how well individuals conform to the expectations of that society. In high compliance societies, individuals are ostracized / punished for non-conformance - think atheists

Once a company starts selling ads, privacy is no longer in their interest. Even paid customers will get lumped in to monitoring and reporting to satisfy / push up ad revenues.

Victim blaming here isn't really very helpful. Cars should be designed with an eye towards how they perform in an emergency. There is a reasonable case that Tesla didn't do that. As an owner of a Model 3 now, it is concerning to m

In many situations (daycare, elder care) the caregivers are by no means strangers. My 2 year old spends as much or more time with her daycare teachers and classmates than she does with my wife and I. They love her and she loves them. Just b

I can't read the article (paywall), but in general - you can't. E&Y (and the other audit firms) have very real conflict rules that prevent audit customers from using advisory services and vice versa. In fact, we went down the

I got the 500 version based on this article from Wirecutter. Works well, but does require that we leave the door open for a while to let the plastic dry. Silent though. Most of the time, I can only tell it is running by the light on the gro

Yes. Many of the privacy and data protections are not based on where the data is stored, but rather where the people who provided that data reside. For example, GDPR (an EU regulation) applies to US companies with data in the US, but only i

It's a customer protection method. Most cryptominers are not using accounts they pay for. They compromise customer accounts and spin up resources. If you aren't proactive about communicating this to customers or blocking it, it ca

That's generally true in the states, but it is even worse. You as the patient don't see the actual price before the procedure (unless you ask). After the work is done, you then get a statement saying how much the procedure cost, w

It really doesn't. All it does is allow you to cut the line. I love Clear, and I use it all the time, but it doesn't make security faster, it just makes it faster for you. If everyone was enrolled in Clear, security would take exa

Or it could be the reason they've said they did it - this was a primary vector for malware authors to compromise user's information and devices. Not everything is a conspiracy.
