Yup. I have an adblocker, but after the first answer (which was crap) I got a link to the question "What is jam made from?" and then got prompted with a modal to prompt me to make an account. Never again.

So couldn't you charge the control-plane for zero-node clusters?

I have personal experience of a few companies in the UK where GCP are offering 90+% discounts to onboard. GCP are spending hundreds of millions to do this. K8S control-planes are a rounding error compared to this.

You could have grandfathered in current deployments but - nope. In the tech world this is up there with killing Google Reader.

TBF it may be best to explain your working a bit better, considering you work at Google.

That's actually a really good idea. Bit like a Credit Card Chargeback, except it's charged to the customer and is refundable.

Same with NHK (I think) in Japan. Lots of old school broadcasters doing proper engineering.

If easydns can't survive a HN flood then I wouldn't want to be a customer of theirs.

BBC research are amazing. They've been doing this for decades, most recently with next gen codecs and latency issues on internet transmission. As a British person I'm actually proud of them, even though many people complain their politics are orthogonal to mine.

Same! Best programming I ever did was on the ST and Amiga.

Please don't overegg the issue with AMP by comparing it to cancer.

I've not had the same issue on my Thinkpad X1C6. I think I installed TLP and Powertop but the battery life is better than Windows for my use case.

Yeah, Google's SSO is fine unless the first logged-in account (/u/0) is one with a redirect to a company portal login. At which point you have to manipulate the URL to get to a different account.

Happy to proofread and fix it in a PR, looks like a nice tool.

Agreed - have seen at least 2 of these in the last couple of days, this is ridiculous.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon. It's a beautiful laptop and works well with Fedora after a couple of tweaks.

I've got an XPS 13 for work which is nice too but runs windows. Pros and cons are:

ThinkPad: Better keyboard by far, more rugged, better bios for Linux that supports normal sleep states

XPS: Can charge on either side, better speakers
