Having gone to college and knowing this guy personally from then, you would have a much different opinion... Maybe he has grown up, but back then... yeeesh

Phew, I was wondering when they closed the sale. I swear I would have remembered that

They are also pressure fitted onto the axles. They are not bolted or otherwise fixed. The only thing which keeps them on the train is friction and the rail itself.

I was on a commuter train which derailed because it LOST a wheel. I don't understand why they aren't at least locked in mechanically. That wheel went rolling at 80MPH and blasted straight through trees near the tracks.

How ironic... James is VP and DE at AWS...

The "gas" is more like a fog of capsules. FM-200 is a common one. Basically it has a Fire suppression agent inside crystals which are blasted into the room by compressed air. These crystals melt when they get over a certain temperature and therefore won't kill you; however, breathing that in isn't really pleasant.

At least with Azure the new Windows Terminal App has Azure Cloud Shell in it. So you can use it like it was just a different session target and less fuss...

the NSF confirmed the cables failed sometime over night, this wasn't the planned decommissioning. They noticed with drone flights the cable exteriors which remained on tower 4 were showing pre-failure conditions over the past few days.

As sad as this is, I'm glad the NSF didn't try to repair it now. There could have been people on the platform when it gave way.

It caught his nose between one of the ribbons of rail. That caused his car to pierce the barrier instead of having its energy dissipated.

Also there is a theory that the pole holding up the rails didnt shear off at all and thats why the car got snapped in half.

Which in this case is tomorrow. The original video was posted last week

I actually miss using Razor. That was the best Pxeboot based system I have run into

If you liked the stuff here, I would highly encourage you to read this: https://www.amazon.com/Raven-Rock-Governments-Secret-Itself-...

It's very well written and lots of pictures (half the book)

The average student at Harvard doesn't pay even close to actual tuition, most of the endowment is earmarked for student aid.

If I remember right, something like under 90k earned by the student's family, they pay nothing. I haven't worked there in 2 years, so the math is a bit fuzzy but the concepts are accurate.

That would not be done on Ground Station, at least in standard regions. Once you hit that level, you are into at least the Gov region.

That being said, those agencies already have huge ground stations at their disposal run by NASA and other "groups". They don't need this service, they would ingest them over NIPRNet or SIPRNet directly into AWS Gov or AWS Gov Secret for processing.

Montreal is on tires which gives a predictable stop, it’s not metal on metal which varies based on atmospherics

Similar but inverse to this, I was fixing a critical server and it usually came up in a minute or less. 5 minutes later I get concerned, I walk into the server room and it’s still trying to boot. I scratch my head and see a usb keyboard attached.... with a screwdriver sitting on my space bar.

Yup, I IRQ-DOSS’ed myself.

NZ was the Fuji Xerox partnership. Fuji ran that from all accounts. I worked in the Developing Markets Org at Xerox (proper), Asia Pacific was its own silo and they did their own thing. It’s one of the areas I didn’t work with, others were Western Europe, Russia, and Canada. Pretty much everything else, I knew all the marketing people for the countries.

This is pretty accurate. I mean, I’m sure you remember the xww intranet prefix. Such odd quirks there

while I want to read this article, that font makes it impossible.

I did this for the AP in high school. They pay you about 40 bucks and two of you go and write it down independently. You than each call the AP and state your numbers and that's it. You show up about 30 minutes before the polls close and you leave about 30 minutes after they end, pretty good pay for an hour (particularly if you are in high school)

Something about android and an obd device working together terrifies me. Last thing I want a phone which has exploits galore being able to turn off my engine as I drive.

Frankly any obd device just freaks the crap out of me

Same here, I want to get back to my BK love

I think you guys undersell BAM. That was such a clutch feature where i used BK. It's sad seeing git large file handling just show up, I garuntee it has a long way to go to get parity with BAM.

We have 20Gbit of Direct Connect with public peering on. This causes upload for us to be 40% slower in primary region and 2-5% slower in the other regions in the US. We only get any benefit going to APAC, granted we aren't your "typical" or "ideal" user for this

"12:28 PM PDT Between 12:03 PM to 12:19 PM PDT we experienced elevated errors for requests made to Amazon S3 in the US-STANDARD Region. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally"

Our AWS TAM called us. I don't think he wanted the nasty call I gave him at 4:30am

Wait a second, you got hacked 27 DAYS ago (at least), you know they got data, and you are NOW telling people?

Dong, Dong, Dong, that is the death bell of a startup

This is why i cloud front personal hosts, and fastly work hosts. I never open my server to the worlds with cdn' being so cheap or free now

Its an 18.57% premium up over US-EAST-1/US-WEST-2 and a 8.57% premium over EU-WEST-1

In case anyone cares

The question I have is can I use this as a central auth system the other way. AD is expensive as crap, but if this is self-healing and self-backup, then its a good idea for us. Frankly anything is better than Open directory
