At least you are honest about your ageism.

This is good advice about naming the first number if and only if you don't have good market data. If you have good market data, and you should with sites like levels.fyi, you should use that data to your advantage. Why? Well, first off it signals value. If you name a number that is a bit of a stretch for the prospective company, but still within a realm of reason, they start to wonder if they have undervalued you. Second, it demonstrates that you have done your homework. Third, it shows that you have negotiation skills and willingness to use them.

This technique is referred to as anchoring. https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/negotiation-skills-daily/w...

Use anchoring to take control of the negotiation and to maximize your compensation.

Holy mixed metaphors.

Changed mine, just logged back in to this warning:

Keeping your account secure When you set a password for your Twitter account, we use technology that masks it so no one at the company can see it.

“We are very sorry this happened,” the Twitter blog said.

Surprised this is the only comment mentioning the duplication of work problem.

Depends if all service discovery sources and targets are all within k8s. If so, k8s works well, if not, not so much.

Ring does host its video on AWS S3.

I learned this trick from @strobist, David Hobby. I used it to great effect in skateboarding photography during mid day. Turning day into night. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dmourati/6649727333/in/photoli...

I agree. He needs to lose on the merits and walk away with nothing.

I hope the Google lawyers make an example out of him and he gets nothing.

I bought the most likely overkill UAP AC HD to solve for the density problem. https://unifi-hd.ubnt.com/ At the time, I was under the delusion I'd be building a smart home. I have since dialed back my requirements but have (hopefully) excess wi-fi capacity.

The unifi app on my iPhone is pretty slick at monitoring my network. I can't say I've used it to do much configuration though.

Sure, I read articles that pointed out some of the deficiencies of mesh networking in general. E.g.:

http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/cn/papers/knightly-...

That caused me to broaden my search. I recalled hearing about Ubiquiti from another group of friends/colleagues who I also respected. When the sr most network guy at my company confirmed he ran Ubiquiti Unifi APs at his home, I started looking at the price as well as trying to figure out how complex the physical setup would be (as contrasted with a mesh).

I then realized I could support my entire home with a single AP and wire the rest of the devices. This made me chose a wired+Unifi solution over a mesh one like eero.

Many people who I think highly of subscribe to the benefits of mesh networking which I suppose can be summarized as simplicity, ease of use, and relatively low cost. I was almost lured into mesh when I changed my mind and decided to investigate Ubiquiti Unifi. Having chosen Ubiquiti, I'm pretty convinced I made the right choice. When I continue to hear people coming out of the woodwork lauding the mesh systems like eero, I keep wondering if their use case or preferences are that different from mine.

Skeet skeet skeet.

My favorite part was that the Russians detected our undersea tap, found it, and put it in a Moscow museum complete with the stamp "Property of United States Government."

I'm reminded of an excellent book detailing the US's own interference with Russian cables 30 years back:

Looks advanced for my 22 month old. Still, I like to keep him challenged. If he learns anything now it will be a bonus.

I bought it straight away.

In 2006 or so I interviewed at a San Francisco startup called Pay By Touch that had this implemented at grocery stores in the US. They have since shuttered.

The classic example of where a trade secret works well is for the recipe (original) for coca-cola.

Flame bait title. I know some of these but not all. All the supposedly deprecated commands still work six years after posting.

I have a Nakaya. I bought it to celebrate a promotion at work. It is far and away my most expensive fountain pen. I have pens ranging from $1 to $750. I use the Nakaya daily and enjoy it.

Got your point now. Thanks for replying.

I go by the outage reports published by AWS. I haven't done an exhaustive analysis but there is a trend to support the common knowledge. I spend most of my time in us-west-1 and us-west-2 and very few if any outages over the past 3 years.

I don't follow your point about randomized AZs. I agree they are randomized and have observed and correlated region letters across multiple customers/accounts. How does that make it seem like a problem is region wide though?

It's pretty common knowledge that us-east-1 is the most unreliable region. Also the oldest which helps explain why.
