The $15 plan notably does not come with DDoS protection though.
the pricing page says it comes with "Always-on DDoS Protection" but not "Advanced DDoS Protection"
I have no idea what these terms mean in practice

AWS just released flat-rate pricing plans with no overages yesterday. You opt into a $0, $15, or $200/mo plan and at the end of the month your bill is still $0, $15, or $200.
It solves the problem of unexpected requests or data transfer increasing your bill across several services.

https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ says that the $15-per-month plan comes with 50TB of "data transfer"
Does "data transfer" not mean CDN bandwidth here? Otherwise, that price seems two orders of magnitude less than I would expect

you don't even need a degree to be a software engineer, let alone any professional accreditation
the idea that all, or even most, "software engineering" is real engineering is laughable

“Almond milk” is not milk. You know what else is less carbon-intensive than milk? Candy corn. But that is also _not milk_, and so equally irrelevant!
Almond milk is not dairy milk, but it is absolutely "milk", in the sense of a white liquid derived from plants - a definition that has existed in English for hundreds of years.
The name "almond milk" has been used since at least the 1500s.

I've seen senior engineers get fired and the business suffer a setback because they didn't have any way to scale beyond a single low spec VPS from a budget provider, and their system crashed when a hall full of students tried to sign up together during a demo and each triggered 200ms of bcrypt CPU activity.
> they didn't have any way to scale beyond a single low spec VPS from a budget provider
they couldn't redeploy to a high-spec VPS instead?

Not every day now, but I've done enough hard manual labor to know that it wouldn't allow me to eat 13 pounds of potatoes. Seriously no one was eating that much on as regular basis.
13 pounds of potatoes is about 4600 kcals. That's in the range of what an NFL athlete consumes in a day.
No, you are parsing this wrong.
> We evaluated the diagnostic power (...). We estimated a 94% accuracy for (our method), significantly higher than the (traditional method) (66% accuracy).
Both methods have counting in their name, but they are comparing the diagnostic power.
after reading more - you're right, I'm wrong
I wonder if I'm an anomaly, or if it's actually more common that one might assume?
