Dedicated Hosts (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/dedicated-hosts/) are more pricey than virtual instances (most EC2) and Dedicated Instances. Not sure if it's possible to containerize/sell as many virtual instances off a dedicated server without paying a separate high license fee to Apple.
> We have not been provided with any post-referendum assessment of Russian attempts at interference, *.53 This situation is in stark contrast to the US handling of allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, where an intelligence community assessment54 was produced within two months of the vote, with an unclassified summary being made public. Whilst the issues at stake in the EU referendum campaign are less clear-cut, it is nonetheless the Committee’s view that the UK Intelligence Community should produce an analogous assessment of potential Russian interference in the EU referendum and that an unclassified summary of it be published
Watch the video at the bottom. It says:
> A hypothesis suggests that, female birds may habituate to the common songs over time, and that drives the male bird to adopt novel songs to maintain female's interest.

(I was thinking a Slack or Discord would be better than Google groups mailing list for this?)
- Keep it "concise", "ascribed", and "specific". By concise, avoid irrelevant details; by ascribed, write necessary data even though it's obvious but saves time for the reader by not having to look up, i. e., complete date mm-dd-yy instead of yesterday/tomorrow, links for references; by specific, avoid ambiguity, separate lines for each required query.
- Use proper text formatting, i.e, <bold> important texts, wrap links with titles.
- Divide long email into separate paragraphs, each can contain its subject. i.e., the way most SaaS services publishes postmortem about an outage or vulnerability.
Note: I've read many articles on writing good emails, this article focuses on the technical team, which in itself follows its guidelines.
> Within AWS, that same pattern has recurred many times. For example, we invented DynamoDB, a highly scalable, low latency key-value database now used by thousands of AWS customers. And on the listening- carefully-to-customers side, we heard loudly that companies felt constrained by their commercial database options and had been unhappy with their database providers for decades – these offerings are expensive, proprietary, have high-lock-in and punitive licensing terms. We spent several years building our own database engine, Amazon Aurora, a fully-managed MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible service with the same or better durability and availability as the commercial engines, but at one-tenth of the cost. We were not surprised when this worked.
Edit: It worked again right after I posted this comment.
Many of devs might already know Visual Studio offers free 1-month (it was 3-months before) of Pluralsight, I'm not sure if you need to sign up with your CC now, but it's a nice deal. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/dev-essentials/
Depends on the noob, and just because you never met a situation like that doesn't mean nobody else experiences too (disclosure: it happens all the time)
I was somewhat a noob, I tried to edit Ubuntu's Yaru theme and I messed up and deleted the corrupted system files. There was nothing to worry since I already made backups of the original files, the distress came when I realized I accidentally deleted my good backup files (was bad regex). I wasn't really worried at that moment cause I hoped there would be some repository out there, I could just fetch my files. There was none, none of the latest Ubuntu version or any close old version. Turns out distribution packages are so big (sensibly) it's not that simple to deploy a remote master repository. That was my "wtf open source" moment. I still somehow managed to fix it without any stackoverflow or AskUbuntu. Anyway that's just one case top off my head.
