When I say "scaring them" I mean "explaining the high risk well". My words were imprecise, but are not at odds with your suggestion, except that I don't explain the potential benefits and strong future. That'

My dad just texted me today asking if I owned bitcoin and if he should pick some up. I described it as uninsured highly volatile fine art(can be destroyed/lost) with a huge counter-party risk if he doesn't have the technical abil

As a business owner whose entire revenue comes from adwords leads at this point, I can tell you it isn't a massively inflated cost. Sure, it's 90% of my expenses and half of what I even make, but I pay this because I still make mo

I'm having trouble reconciling him showing Amazon as the lowest spender by far of the three with their place as largest player by far. Are they just tremendously more efficient? I wouldn't imagine so given they're all essen

I use Convox ( http://www.convox.com ). It is backed by ECS which gets me out of the infrastructure game for the most part and the CLI interactions in Convox are similar to heroku style commands so the learning curve is much simpl

As a licensed insurance agent and tech person working in insurance, this sort of law is common and is a big part of the ethics portion of the licensing exam. I honestly don't think it applies here, but I could see how it could be justi

As a heavy grpc user, I don't think ALB supports it due to a lack of trailer support. You're probably going to just use a TCP load balancer if you want grpc services behind a load balancer.

There was a re:invent talk earlier this week that said they have private fiber between DCs already. It sounds like it happened a long time ago.

It saddens me that this is the top comment. It's complete and total FUD unrelated in any way to what Proto is, and to boot, it's an optional type, provided if you want it, but otherwise not forced to be used in any way! Scroll do

I consider myself smart and motivated, I was in sales for about 8 years by choice rather than going to college. I was good at it, but 2 years of college(a double major), and a few years in industry and I'm now making 5x what I did. It

Glad to see our government reaching out to folks eligible for help that may not realize it. If anything, this doesn't go far enough. Student loan debt should be able to be discharged in bankruptcies!

I went through their forums, I have an order number of 26xxxxx, apparently some people in this range have received the emails, but most haven't from the looks of it. Oh well, I guess I'll get it in a couple weeks :(

I choose to invest with Betterment instead of Vanguard or Schwab, much of it comes down to the ease with which I can interact with their services in comparison. Betterment has a nice iPhone app, and even in the app, everything I could poss

It is deprecated, and they've moved people away from it when possible, but last I heard it was still "on" for the folks who wouldn't move. They just won't let anyone else in.
