on: Ask HN: How to make management accountable to time?
Get both on a 30-minute call and ask them to prioritize the tasks.
I'm assuming you've helped estimate each task? If not, this is an excellent time to present it to the PMs. Unfortunately, I don't have a holistic view of your workload. This should reduce your anxiety and provide transparency to all involved.

on: Ask HN: Which cloud provider to use in 2018? Azure, AWS, GCE, something else?
Depends on your needs. Some larger organizations will have multiple providers for business continuity, multi region is not enough. The smaller organization might decided on a cloud , solely based on pricing. AWS is the giant, followed by Azure and GCE is 3rd. Depending on your orchestration tools, why choose one :) as long as you don't lock yourself into a specific service, you should be able to switch across cloud compute. If you're not using AWS, get the free trial, kick the tires.

on: Equifax Faces Multibillion-Dollar Lawsuit Over Hack
Well depending if you have the answer to the 4-5 security questions , like previous address ,car loan payment amount, or mortgage , stuff that you would only know. I don't know the full scope of the compromise, but someone wanting to use your info would not benefit from freezing it. If you forget your pin I'm expecting them to send it to the mailing address

on: Dodging S3 Downtime with Nginx and HAProxy
Thx. Got it. I don't know enough about the app, but I would have it serve directly from CF to users. Instead of hitting this environment for static assets. Good job and good conversation.

Shipping it with the app, you lose the cluster wide cached objects. A SPOF is the resolver. It's google but it's a SPOF. Is the failover to s3 automatic ? Or do you make a code change ? What kind of latency does that add ?

Have you thought about using bind as the db for the routing ?
an internal dns lookup for the storage node storage.url -> 10.0.12.1

on: Research shows how MacBook Webcams can spy on their users without warning
I'm not crazy, yes. When I first purchased a laptop with a camera (MBP 2008) I put tape on it. I did some research and found that the NSA had published a report that stated they could not confidently secure the iSight camera from external access. trying to find it now.

on: AWS Management Console - Auto Scaling Support
RightScale was the first with this feature, before it was available via the api. I'm looking forward to seeing how each cloud provider handles the UI for all this data.

on: Flickr gets new UI, new Android app, 1 TB free space
Completely agree. This is similar to shared host that offer unlimited space. For those using a lot of share/cpu, they'll get a friendly reminder to upgrade, then a notice that they can't continue supporting them as a client with their current plan.
The Flickr Pro account 24.95/yr for "unlimited storage" was an easy purchase. When you login with your Pro account you are suggested to downgrade to the new 1TB (ad) account.
For 49.99/yr I have to ask myself, do I really need this ? what are my other options.

How was Doug connected ? Doug while only communicating with you via email imported his contacts. His contacts include you. There's the connection. Works similarly on FB. When that business associate imports contacts aka connections, they find you on the other side :) It's really that simple

on: Let's Make DNS Outage Suck Less
This is more of a performance optimization and less about a HA solution.
With rotation you also avoid being throttled. If that's not a concern based on the # of request you make then you can simply timeout and go to the next resolver on the list.

on: Let's Make DNS Outage Suck Less
So there are 2 different things being addressed. There's a HA solution (handle failovers) and then there's operational performance. Introducing cron to manage this solution, means cron needs to be running and monitored at all times. Also worse case scenario if cron dies and you have a now down nameserver configured.
Agreed on aws I would use their resolver to request the internal ip. Another option is setting up your environment in VPC. With VPC you'll be able to assign a static internal ip to your instance.
btw I did find many reports on the 172.16.0.23 lookup issues.

on: Let's Make DNS Outage Suck Less
If you use the rotate option with timeout you'll quickly hop to the next working resolver.
http://edwin.io/optimized-resolv-confDo you have data you can share regarding "Amazon EC2 resolving nameserver (172.16.0.23) is unreachable too often" ?
