Unfortunately, Amazon does not appear to keep different sellers products separate in the warehouse. All it takes is one seller sending counterfeit products to the warehouse for their inventory to be contaminated by counterfeits. This makes

In my experience, do a web search with a unique phrase out of the company or job description. It will often lead to the same job posting directly from the company.

The 63 character limit on domain name labels in RFC 1034/1035 isn't arbitrary, it's a limitation in the way DNS packets are encoded. The upper two bits of the label length are used for compression of labels in DNS packets. Wi

I noticed this blog post is mostly marketing for their minio software, so I went to check it out (I guess the marketing worked). I wish there was some documentation available. I understand it's an object store, it implements the S3 API

I do not have any degree, relevant or not. Obviously they were happy with my competency since I was offered a job, they just took the path where they used my lack of degree as a negotiating tactic. Turns out there are plenty of other places

This was from the manager I would have been working for. Like any large organization, there are exceptions and he could be the exception rather than the rule. From my perspective, "Google" cared about degrees.

I have previously received an offer from Google and was low balled quite a bit. When pressed on this, they pointed to my lack of degree. So I got a job offer from them without a degree, but they certainly did care.

It depends on the version of Xen they are running. XSA-148 only affects Xen 3.4 and newer. If AWS is running an older version of Xen, they may never have been affected.

XenServer runs their version of qemu under a unique unused uid, in a empty chroot and with a separate network namespace. This is the default behavior under XenServer.

Part of what they do is set up registry locks. This is different than a registrar lock in that a registrar lock is managed by the registrar (GoDaddy, Tucows, etc) but a registry lock is managed by the registry themselves. It requires person
