In most cases a half decent should IT department has insurance that covers a DR event, then the cost is irrevalent. If that is not that case, even the cost of getting that data out of the cloud, will be cheaper the building geographically separate backup locations. I'm not talking about large companies.
I'm talking about small to midsize companies that need DR, but don't have money to build several DR sites to do proper DR.

And I'm not talking about regular backup data that is accessed quickly as needed. I'm talking about true DR that is only accessed when you have a catastrophic data center event.
Well, but it makes no sense here. Mere mention of a competing platform would never have a real effect on sales. The crazy Jobs era is done, they should really go over that document and remove much of the nonsense stuff. It will just help their image and drive more people to Apple.
Well, afaik you'd have to proxy HN somehow in order to get an RSS feed to feed to your rss reader?

I personally think that proxying by installing a 100 mb runtime just to be able to change some styles and change around some of the UX with custom javascript is a bit silly, but others here seem to like it, so who am I to judge?
HN does tend to have a bare minimum level of intellect and a maximum level of abject racisim for avoiding downvotes , higher than the free speech bar.
If a GET fails, just retry as usual

Thanks! This is a very important detail which isn't documented anywhere: Retries are likely to succeed. A service where 1% of requests fail but failures are completely uncorrelated is far more usable than a service where 0.01% of requests fail but they keep on failing no matter how many times you retry them.
I understand and I hope you'll forgive my nitpicking. It's just that when I read the paragraph with the Sacco & Vanzetti reference, I got the vibe of something in the lines "look what else the Italians were doing" and that rubbed me the wrong way. I would have much preferred something like "were _wrongly_ indicted of", to avoid the misunderstanding. I hope this comment will be taken not as a void critique by somebody who got offended, but as a reminder that phrasing is important to not to have your writings be interpreted the other way around.

Are you using glacier specific clients? I just use an s3 client and configure the bucket to put everything in Glacier.

For example, I have a cron job calling `s3cmd sync` for my photos on my iMac once a day.
Defensive move? Quite the opposite. Apple has the gall to go on the offensive with an app to assist people in abandoning the competition. It would take a tiny percentage of a single percent of android users to switch to have made this stunt profitable.

Even if nobody ever uses the app to switch, it got some chuckles during the keynote, and gives us iDevice users a cheap laugh. Of course, I don't give a damn what phone you use. Both operating systems are good, and both offerings have good hardware. The only "defensive move" seen here is people on both sides trying to protect their choice of device against criticism from other people. Stop caring what people think about your phone. And stop caring about other people's phones. Everyone wins!

Disaster Recovery != storage

Disaster recovery is being able to get your business up and running again. It would be pretty rare to have a disaster that wipes all your data, but hardware is intact and in perfect working condition. Your DR strategy needs to include hardware, location, people, everything.
(constructive review)

I had to read these sentences a few times to understand what you were trying to say: "You now have the choice of three S3 storage classes (Standard, Standard – IA, and Glacier) that are designed to offer 99.999999999% (eleven nines) of durability.‎ Standard – IA has an availability SLA of 99%."

No availability is mentioned for the others, but I assume it's 100%? Perhaps a simple table could help readers to scan and visually compare the values of two properties across three service classes?

There's nothing wrong with what Texas did by arresting this muslim. He could have been doing it all for his father and for the arab spring, especially considering the intelligence they are showing and the outcry from the liberal community.

If you move to Saudi Arabia you have to stick to the bigger city if you have friction with them, and his family should have known to do that. That's the basics of life, and it will not change. Stop targeting Texas.
Yes, but that's a good thing. .d.ts files are reasonably straightforward to write (the external vs internal module thing is the exception), and easy to share on DefinitelyTyped. But that only happened because TypeScript requires .d.ts files - the requirement pushes the community forward, with benefits for all.

I totally agree. A lot of small to medium businesses can't/won't afford true DR. This is a lower cost way to get your data offsite, and should you have a DR event that you can't fix with local or semi local backups, then you have this. A lot of businesses are unable to afford geographically diverse storage.
You are free to be adamant about that. I wonder what gives you this confidence though. I hope it's something more substantial that contradicting witnesses speaking decades after the fact and a pistol who passed dozens of hands. Certainly, that does not convince me that two men should die, nor should a reasonable jury. Sacco and Vanzetti weren't executed because they allegedly killed a man during a robbery. They were executed because of what they believed.

I view Lyft as the friendly, reasonable, still studying, humble struggling Actor.

I view Uber as the demanding, narcisstic, dictatorial, know-it-all, spoiled, "I only want the green M & M's" Actor.

Kinda kidding? I see too many desperate people buying into Uber's marketing, and buying that specific 4 door car, going into debt, and ruining their credit.
A compiler is a translator. It translates programs from one programming language to another.

You always want to compile to the easiest target language that solves the problem well and allows you to do the optimizations you want to do. By compiling to C++, they can focus on static typing and closures etc., but don't have to worry about generating machine code, and register allocation and whatnot.

Back in school, I worked on a project to compile Matlab. We picked Fortran as the target, because it was very similar in terms of operating on matrices. But it's typed, and had a few very fast compilers available.
I'm in Concepcion, farther south and I felt (mild to moderate) shaking for ~6 minutes, with varying intensity. Also no damage here, and people essentially continue on with life as usual, aside from the towns near the coast, which were evacuated because of tsunami danger.

The first teacher who saw the clock told him not to show it around. They definitely knew it wasn't a bomb. It's not even that hard to have some sympathy for the teachers or even school administrators who are subject to all sorts of stupid policies. The insane thing seems to be that in the entire chain of escalation from teacher to principal to police nobody appears to have thought of some better way to resolve the situation than handcuffing a 14 year old at school and carting him off to juvie.
The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA -- please define your acronyms) was also the focus of the high altitude ("space bomb") nuclear explosion tests of Operation Argus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Argus

a series of United States nuclear weapons tests and missile tests secretly conducted during August and September 1958 over the South Atlantic Ocean. They were performed by the Defense Nuclear Agency, in conjunction with the Explorer 4 space mission....

The tests were proposed by Nicholas Christofilos of what was then the Livermore branch of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) as a means to verify the Christofilos effect, which argued that high-altitude nuclear detonations would create a radiation belt in the extreme upper regions of the Earth's atmosphere. Such belts would be similar in effect to the Van Allen radiation belts. Such radiation belts were viewed as having possible tactical use in war. Prior to Argus, Hardtack Teak had shown disruption of radio communications from a nuclear blast, though this was not due to the creation of radiation belts....

Due to the South Atlantic Anomaly, the Van Allen radiation belt is closer to the Earth's surface at that location. The (extreme) altitude of the tests was chosen so as to prevent personnel involved in the test from being exposed to any ionizing radiation.

This and other space-based testing destroyed several satellites, including the first communications satellite, Telstar, which failed after only seven months.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telstar

A memo concerning the failure of a British satellite, Ariel-1, recently surfaced and was reported by the BBC:

I have had the privilege of working on augmented reality with accurate head-tracking and geo-registered spatial entities in a 3D world, and am looking forward to seeing how the next step of Glass goes. It is really cool to "walk around" AR entities and have a glowing digital form exist before me & my friends (on the network) out in the real world. The idea of just having a phone dashboard in my face seems far more limited.

That's a pretty cool idea... but do people really want more HN? My impression is that most people want to read it once or twice a day, but are driven to it more often than that as attempts at procrastination. So this seems like it'd be a net loss for most users.

1) The Arab League is not a country. It is a group of representatives from several countries, few of which really get along with each other. Statement and edicts from the league are not law to be obeyed by people but by countries (they need to ratify by passing local laws). The league cannot directly require anything of any vendor.

2) Lots of laws in the arab world are not enforced. Outsiders often find these and assume they mean something. They do not. In totalitarian states what matters is what the ruling group wants to do. The existence or non-existence of a written law is very much beside the point.
Thats really cool and seems like a good way to do it. I will definitely be following your project for updates.
Everything related to Glacier is ridiculously complicated.

The pricing is tricky (the per-GB price is cheap, but the retrieval can get horribly expensive). There's the fixed 4-hour delay for all actions (including listing stored files), which makes any interaction a pain. And there aren't really any good clients or high-level libraries that abstract away this complexity.

For a disaster recovery, I would certainly go for something simpler and easier to use. When everything is one fire, the last thing I need is dealing with a tricky API to restore the company files.
Tis quite sad that all family of law enforcement is by default impunged. But prejudice knows no bounds.

> No thanks Apple, I prefer being the one in control of my phone.

Ironically, one of the main reasons I switched to iOS is control - with an iPhone, I can control which app has access to my contacts, images, GPS etc much better than I ever could with Android, where every app just requests all permissions up front.
This is backwards. Green threading can be an implementation detail, but in languages where it's a key feature, green threads let you write code that would otherwise be incorrect. For example, in a native threading model, it is an awful idea to spawn a thread for every incoming connection on a server. It's the easy way to write it, but it's wrong. With a green threading model, though, that's easy and efficient.
This is only true for n:1 green threading.
Well, we are doing the same thing so we can't even stand up against it. What are we going to say? Don't do what we do? Tell our companies that they will have to risk having their Chinese markets shut down over night for non-compliance?

Unfortunately, CM is difficult for many users to implement (and impossible with some newer phones).
It's actually the opposite: the rule is that the owner of the article also owns the title. Quite a lovely rule that you wouldn't want to change in 9 cases of 10.
SETI also runs (or did, from what I remember) a 3D screensaver. It's not doing nothing on the videocard, anyway, but I don't know how close to fully maxing out anything it gets.

Talking about power load, though, I have a Kill-A-Watt pass-through power meter, and I have measured power at the wall exceeding the rated output power capacity of an 80% efficient power supply on a computer running at full load (running a graphically and computationally expensive computer game).

A lot of PSUs are pretty inefficient. You can look up the stats. It wasn't until recently that you even had a lot of them earning the 80 Plus "bronze" rating, which is 80% efficiency. There's still plenty with worse efficiency than that. A decade ago, you're probably looking at 60% efficiency on average.

This seems like a smart response to Google Cloud Nearline Storage. Slightly more expensive, but with the S3->IA->Glacier lifecycle mapping the ultimate costs may be lower with AWS, certainly the flexibility will be there.

Amazon, staring at its mighty armory, goes on the hunt for a tiny chink to repair.
I'd guess the names of properties being possibly dynamically computed also makes things difficult to optimise.

I graduated from a Texas high school in 2008. Never heard a peep about intelligent design and the school was 1000% better than the school I moved away from in California. The two weren't comparable—the CA school was a prison, the Texas school was a palace of education.

I like to point out that when Literate Programming was first proposed, software was a great deal less malleable than it is now. LP vs. the rigid structures of the time is one thing, LP vs. the malleable structures of today is quite another. Cast back in time I might prefer LP in the past, but today, it's an awful lot of complexity and a huge layer to add on top of our systems for what is of significantly less relative utility. Very little stops you from having more narratively-coherent code today, in existing systems; the problem is more human than tool now.
I'm not sure if you know how spamhaus DNSBL works, "no FPs" is ridiculously far from the truth.

This is great idea, we can make a half-duplex bridge, users inside the GFW need access to at least two ISPs. One ISP for uplink, one ISP for downlink, since GFW can only observe traffic on the national border, not between internal domestic ISPs, it can not establish full state of the connection.

We call it triangular networking instead of statefull peer-connected network.
Guess it depends on where you or where your friends leave. A lot of my former Army buddies smoke marijuana to deal with PTSD. Several of them go to dealers just like I describe and are not the biggest fans of it.

Just because you've seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm by no means saying that is the norm, only that it definitely exists, and I'm all for any way of getting them away from people who just want to get baked.
I would think that your anecdotal evidence wouldn't map to the actual circumstances very well. A strong majority of marijuana users in Colorado are recreational, and they can give it up without any physical consequences like you would face if they had to deal with difficult financial times.
> The initial version of Glass . . . sold for $1,500. . . Google stopped selling it in January and executives have admitted that the device was released before it was ready for consumers.

No shit. It was $1500 _because_ it was not ready for consumers, and they wanted to price it high enough so people who had no business buying one didn't.
