What about the incentive to release "the most secure chips on the market", are you discounting that a bit too much? Granted that human nature tends to mean these factors don't have a high enough weight, e.g. it's not the

Indonesia bans the import of 2nd-hand clothing and footwear, specifically because a large proportion of it ends up in landfill or incinerators. That definitely would be a worse environmental outcome than being recycled into running track. I

I doubt any lawyer would bring a suit against one of the biggest corporations on the planet on contingency. Its going to be a hell of a lot of work to win even a clear-cut case against an opponent with this much resources. See also: the ca

Still... if you plan to add 100MW of renewable this year and retire 100MW of coal, then demand goes up by 100MW, do you now add 200MW of renewable instead, or do you delay the retiring of the 100MW of coal?

And maybe as the type of generation used for the marginal difference in energy required. If your country generates 90% of its electricity from hydroelectric and 10% from coal, you might still use coal for the comparison because hydroelectri

I think they're referring to the date, April 1 is "April Fool's Day" in many countries. Some companies put out joke press releases on April 1 that are not intended to be taken seriously.

Know any good apps to gamify weight training? Strava really worked for me for running, now I'd like to replicate the experience with strength training.

This exists in the UK already at least. Last time I checked (10+ years ago) you could choose to split 50/50 rent/mortgage or 25/75 either way.

Oh I'm sorry, I'm referring to AWS exploiting the free software, not their customers, but I can see how I was not clear. The rest of the 500+ comments here do a good job arguing both sides of it so I won't rehash that. Just

They're literally describing the chilling effect. It shows a lack of imagination if you think this "free market" is the only way to create valuable software. PS. In a truly free market, there would be no enforcement of lic

It's a LOT from a donate button. Donate buttons generate barely any revenue at all, generally speaking. This game must have either got lucky with the crowd that's playing it, or has literally millions of players already.

Impossible question, it depends what your app does and what your users do. Even within the same company, 1000 concurrent users of Google Maps will use completely different resources than 1000 concurrent users of gmail. It'll even chang

It's perfectly fair. If they had hired all chefs into upper management, one could say "too many chefs and not enough engineers!", regardless of the quality of the chefs.

I don't think "cars cost more than just the price of gas" is mental gymnastics, but an exact $ figure we can all agree on will be tough. Once they become a thing, the price of an autonomous taxi between the cities should appr

Absolutely. I am scared of spiders because my mother is scared of spiders, not because she told me to be scared of spiders. Quite the opposite: knowing arachnaphobia is an irrational fear (at least in the UK), she tried very hard not to
