Network ACLS are quite tricky to debug. For one of my connections, network calls were failing because esp was blocked at acl layer, ACL blocks all non tcp traffic by default. Funnily, network calls with same data-center was working but was failing when calling to another data-center. I had to look at VPC flow logs to figure that non tcp protocals were being blocked.

Another POV could be that since the death of proper R n D at apple, they have made amazing products but they have not created anything that advances the technology landscape. Google is making self driving cars, they are working on quantum computers. Apple has created an ipod which gave lots of profits for half a decade.

can't agree more. I have been studying education sector in India, home to largest number of potential beneficiaries of khan academy. I would say khan academy is already bettering normal education. most teachers here would have no clue of archimedis principle atleast khan academy is giving the right information whether all the students are able to absorb is another matter

with regards to The Overly Energetic Engineer ,there is also the management which does not allow you to give back to community. Sometimes well known libraries have issues which are fixed inhouse but you cant contribute them back to community and you are stuck between devil and deep blue sea.

like it or not the fact of matter lies that obesity is the single biggest avoidable cause of medical expenses. Mental stigma or not a spade should be called a spade

I think microsoft is really going all guns blazing to populate their ecosystem with apps. As a developer, today I am not motivated enough to create apps for windows. A few years back if any application worked in windows, I need not have cared about other os. I also feel with the new ceo from azure background, microsoft is going to try to earn more from cloud than regular one time licensing of software.
