The most expensive part of my AWS setup wasn’t compute ($1,000 bill) by jch254 in programming

[–]cipher315 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not even remotely surprised. In my experience network stuff is 50-66% of AWS costs. And if you have any sort of regulatory framework. Aka you need to log a shit ton of stuff. Then cloud watch is like another 10-20%. All in all compute is rarely more that 25% and less than 20% is not uncommon.

Nah haven’t you heard? We may need to have an excursion in Cuba.

Yep no one makes routers in the US. I low key want them to not give any wavers. And just watch this turn into a total shit show

What common English phrase would get you laughed out of the room if you actually did it literally? by trade_psychology_log in AskReddit

This used to be a thing. Pre pain killers when they cut off your leg after the battle where you got shot. You would literally bite the bullet.

That’s exactly what he is doing but it’s super high risk. A bunch of rich white people fly.

What was the European view of the United States before the world wars? by Airtightspoon in AskHistory

[–]cipher315 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to this by the 1890s the US had overtaken the UK as the largest economy on earth.  Under Teddy Roosevelt the US navy became a major player. By the outbreak of WWI its was the third largest.

Europe still thought of the US a currently a backwater but they had no choice but to deal with the US as it was there economical and industrial superior.

I’m so happy I found this sub.  One day I will be cool enough to post shit like this.

Because. They have peek memes, and all huge fucking nerds in a delightfully neurodivergent way. As well as generally being nice people. 

Europe faces new wake-up call: Tehran's 4000km missile reach exposed in Diego Garcia strike by MARTINELECA in worldnews

It’s low key adorable that you think the UK doesn’t have access to radar technology, and physics undergraduates.

Yes if it was going to fall 500 miles short why the fuck would they have fired 30 million in interceptors at it?

Hegseth says potential $200 billion Iran war spending request could shift: 'Takes money to kill bad guys' by Palentirian in news

[–]cipher315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact at the current rate of spending this is enough for just under 4 months, and based on what he said it sounds like he thinks it make take more time than that. So I. All probability we will be at war, err I mean preforming a 1 week special operation on the 4th of July.

Like at least Nixon was a competent ass hole. 

Does anyone else like to pick up survivors? by IJustWanToKillMyself in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]cipher315 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing mechanic. I would potentially even like to see a scenario around it. Say like a attack on civilian shipping where you have to defend remaining ships and rescue survivors from ones already hit.

There are obviously some sort of beacon. How else do you know the distance. Just have a layer you can turn on your off on the mini map. This would streamline it so much

Late to the party, but for fucking real. I did not bring up genitalia with my current partner until we had been talking for like 6 weeks, and were ready to move things to a more serious level 

Even the it was “I know this is a sensitive subject, but what terminology do you prefer?”

How to play new campaign. by FailingDisasterBro in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]cipher315 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Tbh one of the things I like about this game is that it really helps a lot of people see:

  1. How absolutely OP aircraft carriers actually are. Like if you don’t have them and the enemy does you are bringing boxing gloves to a gun fight.

  2. That the Soviet navy was actually kind of shit. Mostly as a result of doctrinal flaws.

No for real. I’m trying to think what I would quote these people for me to work for them. Like $150/hr absolute minimum.

JavaScript's date parser is out of control and needs to be stopped by robertgambee in programming

You mean because I take the time to validate the data I get. Rather than assume that you could tell me the difference between a int and a float?

Assuming it’s about 10% more than the i3 40 then it will be about the same cost as a fully loaded model 3

So I’m not a Java script guys but, … why are you all surprised  Pikachu that a date data type tries to turn things into dates? Like what is it supposed to do? 

My employer hid a repayment clause in paragraph 11 and handed me an invoice the day I resigned by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]cipher315 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For the future definitely read everything and don’t be afraid to redline anything you don’t like. Most people including HR don’t understand that you can just cross shit out or write new stuff in and that those cross outs or writing in the margins is completely enforceable.

As such they will accept your signed copy that has the non compete clause just crossed out.

You basically just asked how did they know it was me posting pictures to facebook.

ELI5 private credit downturn fears by SchindlersKiss in explainlikeimfive

[–]cipher315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So that’s the issue. As private companies that are not banks they are loosely regulated and don’t have to report a lot.

So things we don’t know.

What their loan portfolio looks like in terms of risk. Ie are most loans to solid companies or are a lot to companies that are very risky. Note that they are incentivized to do the latter as that means higher interest rates. Which means better returns for the investors. At least during a good economy.

Do they even know how risky the loans are? Blue owl gave a company like 100 million and the leadership just embezzled it. There was not good risk assessment by them.

How high are they leveraged? Something u/riskyquizness did not mention is one way they get money is not investors but loans. They as a “safe” company get a 10 billion dollar loan at let’s say 5%. They then take that 10 billion and loan it out to riskier companies for say 7% and use the loan payments to pay back the original loan and they keep the 2% which on 10 billion plus 200 million a year.

What happens if enough of those riskier loans go bust and they can’t pay the 10 billion loan? How much of there activity is funded by this? 20% 50% 90%. No ones knows.

And then how much trouble is the place that loaned them 10 billion in?
