Isn't vegetation essentially a form of carbon capture, and it's not nearly effective enough to keep up with human CO2 emissions?

Good point. Cars will still be valuable for road trips, but lots and lots of people will choose to skip car ownership and just settle for local, self-driving travel. Maybe there will be a stratified market for rental self-driving cars; one

That's where EC2 was invented and developed, too!

I remember building a hackintosh about 6 years ago, has much changed since then? It was a lot of fun and a lot more challenging than a regular Windows PC build.

I think a faxed signature counts as a "wet" signature. Also it's easier to sign then feed into a fax machine than: - sign - scan (usually sent as a weird filename to your corporate email) - save the attachment, rename the fi

I think Dropbox has many more users.

by officelineback 9y ago
Doesn't Dropbox run on S3? Or is that the company that recently moved off AWS into their own datacenters? If so that was a good case study. (I'm an all 5 certified AWS guy and while I love it, I like seeing the counterexamples

If it makes filing easier and automatic, wouldn't the returns be submitted earlier, thus negating part of that 1-2 month delay?

One point about these guys is they were men of means. They were hyper-rich for the time, had vast properties and many servants and such.

Also nice is the in-service rollover, so you can roll funds directly from the company's 401(k) plan into your self-directed IRA or whatever multiple times per year, instead of when you leave.

Yah but you can still put in your own pre-tax money. You are stuck in the BS high expense ratio funds that some slick "benefits consultant" sold to HR/management for those 2-3 years, but as soon as you leave, you can roll ov

That reminds me of one of an engineer's maxim: If you make something idiot proof, the world invents a better idiot.

I have heard Portugal's legalization system is also a huge success.

This may be controversial, but aren't GMOs really the way to go?

I salute you for your commitment to watching Fox News. After Trump's election I said I was going to consume more of the other-side-centric media because I wanted to understand how this F'ing happened. I can't, though, it&#x

Yeah I kind of thought that, but "discovered" gave pause to that thought, since it's not "invented."

The thing is, an S3 bucket policy is not an IAM policy. It's a bucket policy. They use the same language, format, and syntax, but they are not called the same thing.

Isn't the "Principal" element only a part of S3 permission policies, not IAM? In IAM the "principal" is implied, it's the user to which the policy is attached. Edit: I see you explain well into the article,

I'm still interested in how to merge features like AWS Autoscaling with Docker to right size the underlying infrastructure for the amount of container work going on.

That is crazy. I thought that rooting your Android is totally legal. How can that be legal, but refilling ink cartridges isn't?

Interesting because I don't even check my mail every day...on average every 4 business days or so. So I'm guaranteed to have mail. I petitioned the HOA in my townhouse neighborhood to install trash cans at all the mailboxes. Ot

Are you allowed to name names?

The thing is I like to get my workstation ergonomically perfect for my issues (I have back and shoulder issues) and using a generic table with no extra monitors for my quiet intense work sucks. It should be the other way around...everyone

People: What to study, what to choose for personal projects, what to put on your resume. Companies: What languages to standardize on

by officelineback 9y ago
Thank you. This is going to help settle a debate here in the office about whether to standardize on Ruby or Python. (The correct answer being Python, of course.) /s

Interesting. And on the flip side, you have the law of Jante. Or is it OK to proclaim one's self as super happy? Maybe Jante is more about material success?

I believe you're wrong and here's why (maybe the previous poster's way of explaining it wasn't good). 1) Economies of scale. Airbnb has management and overhead but it's spread across thousands of cities. Cab co.s
