It might be, it's to filter out would be attackers. Normal users are just hit as well.

It's literally just an alternative to Cloudflares attack protection.
sgtfrankieboy | 2 years ago | on: How does database sharding work?
It's also a real option with CockroachDB, unless you need regional sharding. Which a lot don't actually need anyways.

Couldn't find any that were on the same level as the one I use with Edge.
sgtfrankieboy | 2 years ago | on: Pausing Manifest V2 phase-out changes
Switched to Firefox for like 6-12 months, eventually moved back to Edge a couple of weeks ago. Had to open it constantly anyways.
I couldn't get used to Firefox's DevTools and the JSON viewer in Firefox is bad compared to the JSON Formatter chrome extension.

That's analytics...

How do you deal with the physical object being sold without anyone caring about the NFT attached to it, and thus not transferring it?

Meta just got a 265 million euro fine because their stuff was too open and people/companies scraped the data of 533 million users.
Best way to stop people from scraping (and getting fines) is to require an account.

Which DB doesn't support UUID as a type so I can make sure to never use it?

Because they save us ~20 thousand a month in bandwidth cost.

>Another decade of researching a cancer cure to cover another different type of cancer? $1400BN in funding these cancer treatments that don't work. Not even radiotherapy can fully cure cancer...
Thats how I read it, sorry. We made tremendous leaps in the past decade with improving automated driving, is it fully automatic? No. Does it mean we should somehow stop funding it? No.
sgtfrankieboy | 3 years ago | on: Even after $100B, self-driving cars are going nowhere
Hyperloop is crap, just go with highspeed trains. They get the job done in city corridors.
But you can't have a train stop in front of your house... Nor can you build massive tubes everywhere in place of cheap roads.
Walking, Bikes, Busses, Metros, Trains, Cars, Planes. They all have a place in how we transport, right now the distribution between them is just out of whack.
sgtfrankieboy | 3 years ago | on: Even after $100B, self-driving cars are going nowhere
So? Okay, we're not there yet with autonomous vehicles, and have spend tons of money on it. But the tech we have now didn't exist a decade ago. Give it another decade.

Never encountered this?
sgtfrankieboy | 3 years ago | on: RootMyTV is a user-friendly exploit for rooting/jailbreaking LG webOS smart TVs
Incorrect. I can watch 4K on my PC just fine using Edge or the Windows App, you also get 4K with Safari.
sgtfrankieboy | 3 years ago | on: I spent $3k on a Samsung Smart TV and all I got were ads and unwanted content
Ofc they are more expensive, can't subsidize them with ads.
You would add something like a soundbar and an apple TV, with a magic remote to control it all.
sgtfrankieboy | 3 years ago | on: I spent $3k on a Samsung Smart TV and all I got were ads and unwanted content
Because a 32" monitor is small for a TV? and a projector has tons of downsides?
The solution is to buy a commercial TV used in retail environments.
sgtfrankieboy | 3 years ago | on: Why we moved from AWS RDS to Postgres in Kubernetes
We have multiple CockroachDB clusters, have been for 4+ years now. From 2TB to 14TB in used size, the largest does about 3k/req sec.
We run them on dedicated hosts or on Hetzner cloud instances. We tested out RDS Postgres, but that would've literally tripled our cost for worse performance.
Only had a few hiccups with the big cluster but they were resolved quickly with their support.
We're very happy with the product, and have leaned quite a few optimization tricks to get the best out of it. Easy to use as well, join the nodes and it just works.
It's not perfect though, we've had quite a few issues with deleting lots of data at once, it doesn't like that. So we have to do deleted in smaller chunks.

The issue is that SSO is often in the Enterprise tier.
The best solution would be to have G-Suite SSO in the lowest paid tier and SAML in Enterprise.

First time seeing it being invisible, mostly they just disable it. Terribly annoying practice. I often select text while reading articles.
