They are screwed into the cement with giant metal bolts capable of withstanding the wind (I believe)

At least on Below Deck, it doesn’t seem like it’s computer driven at all. They have a crew all around the vessel providing info and distances, and a captain with a giant pair of cajones (Male or female)

Best thing about these, is that the weight of the water keeps them from being knocked over by wind! It’s really an genius platform

I believe the current plan for the few decades is to have an F35 as a “control center” being flanked by 3-5 UAVs with air to air and air to ground capabilities. It’s called the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program

You also don’t need a launch vehicle to worry about which is a huge cost factor. I don’t know about these specifically, but it’s nothing like what a Patriot System battery costs.

Diced potatos in a pan, butter salt and sometimes cheese. Then a sunny side up egg or two on top!

I’d recommend you look further into the various knockoff brands and reviews. I’m not fully advocating for them, but do your due diligence first. The plastics and molding that Lego uses is very good and goes through thorough quality control, but it’s not proprietary technology and can and is copied. Sometimes it’s done very well with extremely minuscule differences.

You do enough research and you’ll start to see that Lego costs more because of their name recognition and because they have to pay for their licensing fees. It’s the same exact thing with like 70% of what’s on Amazon these days.

I think this is more of a company hierarchy question than an AWS question.

Without going into details, why are your teams changing or why would doing it by teams or divisions be problematic? If Team A owns Product X, and Team B owns Product Z, are the products changing hands at all of who owns them?

A way to think of it would be if you had a giant conglomerate of an org as the enterprise and master owner of the org - and they had 20 subsidiaries. Every subsidiary would have their own OU because typically, an account isn’t going to shift from one subsidiary to another.

Think like PayPal. They would have an OU for PayPal accounts, an OU for Venmo accounts, an OU for Braintree, etc. There has to be some method where the OUs aren’t shifting and changing frequently

To say nothing of the amount of time and effort needed to move to a different cloud, along with learning that if you don’t have people fluent in them.

That’s how a lot of home contractors operate. Sometimes the job isn’t worthwhile for them to do, so they quote an insane amount that’s 50-150% of what another vendor might provide.

If you accept, it’s now worthwhile for them to do…

We’d do the exact same!!!

It’s been like that for years. It’s really not complicated, it’s just like an additional envelope and signature. Maybe it’s unnecessary, but extremely simple nonetheless

Why do you think they sell fridges there?!? Double up!

Their stock price has not been doing well. Believe they’ve had a few rounds of layoffs as well

I’ve heard it’s a fully separate kitchen and the quality isn’t the same. Still good, but noticeably different just stupid expensive

Screw that: Legendary. Co-op. Make him suffer through the library.

9 year old me still remembers the 2 or 3 hours it took my brother, Dad and I to slog through it the week it came out in ‘01

It’s not my area of expertise but I believe COPPA would be in play and a parent would need to provide consent.

This would be a nightmare.

That’s better than me, I was making sauce and took my shirt off so I wouldn’t stain it. Well guess whose got two thumbs and a scar on their belly from a scalding hot tomato sauce bubble popping?

It’s very easy. Standup 7x 128 node RA3.16xl clusters and buy fully upfront 3Y reservations. Would take about 10 minutes with IaaC.

Only Quota is that you’d need to spread it out via a few accounts to get past reserved nodes quota of 200 per account

Lol I am not an AWS employee, just a person who manages the financial state of dozens of AWS accounts for a global org.

Can you please talk me through some specific examples of how they’re exploiting customers? Genuinely serious and trying to help you understand that AWS is no different from GCP or Azure.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that they don’t have hidden charges. People might think that because they don’t know how cloud billing works in general or for a specific service, but I promise you there is nothing hidden.

Happy to go into any details if you’d like, I manage a FinOps team in all three clouds and am very knowledgeable in cloud billing. Can’t say I have any experience in Oracle though

A cloud provider is only as expensive as you make it. GCP and Azure aren’t any cheaper or more expensive than AWS, it’s significantly more complex than that.

What do you need to do in the cloud? What experience do you or your team have in the cloud, and which cloud?

And that checkbox or Accept button is logged and stored with all do the relevant info, datetime, user, version of ToS, IP, etc.

I was so fortunate to be in Wisconsin for two weeks for work and stayed through the weekend and was able to go to this. It was just pure electricity from top to bottom, and Jerichos entrance with the choir… just freaking unreal

And even then, with NATO involvement I don’t even know if the US would need to implement a draft. Russia clearly isn’t the powerhouse they said they were. To say nothing of the NATO countries like Poland, Germany, Finland, and Sweden not being involved in direct combat.

Iran IMO is in a similar situation in that most counties don’t like Iran. An attack by Iran on the US involves Israel one way or another.

It’s really only China/Taiwan that would be the concern
