Mafia coming to you for protection money since "bad things happen" is not extortion. They just ask nicely. The fact that your building burned down after you didn't pay is totally unrelated.

I had an issue with R constantly not connecting. Ended up replacing under the warranty and now have zero issues.

> So, you are rejecting the premise that a lot of misinformation is spread and it has much wider reach than in the past?

No, but how do we jump to conclusion that government, government-controlled or government-aligned entity should be allowed to control the information we receive?

> How is it that Google create/rebrand/close so many music and chat services over the years.

It's not a rebrand. It's a rewrite. People need them promos.

In many cases, however, rewrites are actually warranted. As underlying infra gets replaced it becomes very expensive to run and maintain legacy services.

To be fair, it seems Memorystore instance is not the same gb-for-gb as Elasticache, since Memorystore gives you extra memory overhead, and on aws you have to manage it yourself. Memorystore also has free network egress/ingress. There is also a RedisLabs offering on Google Cloud with integrated billing.

Disclaimer: I work at Google Cloud.

"Air Moorea didn’t know it had both types in its fleet, it replaced all its control cables on the interval specified for carbon steel cables — about once a year."

Did they just ordered the replacement parts per catalog without looking at what exactly is being installed? I mean, they would have noticed that one plane has a different part number.

With it's pros being the ability to know how close the points are just having the 2 coordinates and arbitrary precision.

Who knows how far away epic.region.music and epic.global.music are from just the names? While 18SUJ2163104440 and 12SVC0452723150 are 6 grid zones apart east to west.

> It tells you the intent.

A good unit test that tries to load with jit_enable=false and expects false in return will communicate intent even better.

> Google could have made a much less obnoxious social network

Even today, I think YouTube has a great potential for becoming a better social network, than G+ ever was.

Indeed not all locations have it, but I believe the major ones, like Santa Monica, should have it available by now.
