I saw this, closed it and it prompted me to go to start.duckduckgo.com - apparently if you clear your cookies often this popup can keep showing up, this subdomain looks to avoid this problem and simply not show popups.
You're right, but I half agree with the intention. Sure, one could say HN was built in the US, domiciled in the US - but it's still a tech forum on the global internet. As for whether "most" people on HN are from the US, look I can't really prove or disprove you here, I have no statistics, but I'll say that the US is ~1/4th of the english speaking population (330M/1.3B).
Obviously, I'd guess the demographics of Americans is more than a quarter here, but I (think) there are enough non-Americans that you can't really be certain that the individual you're speaking to is actually American.
Billing alerts can tell you exactly when you have spent 4 figures after the fact. Using a VPS prevents 4-figure bills.
Actual billing caps are very hard for cloud providers to implement with the HA distributed systems clouds use for billing, and would carry a significant performance cost. Alerts are the best you can do if you take the variable costs.
Thanks for explaining that. I didn't think about the complexities of billing caps. Is there a contract from a cloud provider that even if they do go over the billing cap, since you set that as your "limit", they can't bill you for over that amount? I imagine that the responsibility for managing billing caps lies on the provider, and the consumer should be comfortable that they will not be charged above the limit they set.
I think this kind of wording should not be normalized on this website, and asking for someone to be shot is a gross exaggeration. The amount of disrespect for the developers, designers and victims and families of those affected by gun violence (including women affected by domestic violence).
I suggest you expand your lexicon in the future and use the appropriate choice of words.
"You love him, and he totally complimented you. That is so fetch."
This is clearly not stating that the actions by both parties are "irrelevant", it's clearly slang for "cool" or "awesome". The movie was alluding to the word itself being irrelevant in its use, not the word meaning or being synonymous with "irrelevant". I hope this cleared things up for you.
Yeah my math sucks -- off by one (order of magnitude) error.
Also the 2 million number was what I had heard in the news, seems the number is actually 3.8 million records having a document number, according to this screenshot[1]
Not sure why he would think that - previous iPhones don't have satellite receiver. Apple was however previously rumoured to be working with Qualcomm on a modified X60 modem, for satellite connectivity.
You're forgetting about taxes though. A lot of cash-based transactions are not declared.
Edit: rather, it's easier to not declare cash income, than income from credit cards. Also keep in mind that the taxi company may take a cut of the revenue too.

In NYC medallion cabs, all taxi rides are recorded by the taxi meter in each car. It records the distance and the fare charged, regardless of payment method.
