    It’s mostly a skill issue for services that go down when USE-1 has issues in AWS - if you actually know your shit, then you don’t get these kinds of issues.

    Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

    And yes, it’s scary that so many high-profile companies are this bad at the thing they spend all day doing




  • No need for the likely-qualifier - it definitely won’t make a difference in perceived sound quality.

    You basically need expensive gear under the right conditions and training to be able to tell. Modern audio codecs are extremely good - the main thing you will get out of lossless is more storage/data usage



  • There is no assumption of privacy when operating heavy machinery. You are quite literally wearing an identification tag on the vehicle at all times, such that you can be identified in the case of violating rules.

    Speed cameras are good, actually. As mentioned in the article, speeding was reduced by 71% at the installation sites.

    So is using design to manage speeds - also mentioned in the article.


  • You can’t really use a speed bump on higher speed roads, where speed cameras can be a good choice to enforce speed limits.

    Strategic use on roads with a desired speed around 70 km/h around areas with collision risk is a good use-case for speed cameras. This is how they are often deployed in Sweden - you put up a sign warning drivers that a speed is imminent, and compliance with the speed limit becomes essentially universal. A drop in crash risk follows.

    Using speed bumps and roundabouts is also obviously good, but they serve different use-cases.
