Curios for the reasoning for not accepting new H-1Bs?

I think he only had GET /door/toggle, which cannot be idempotent.

It's clarified in the next line. > "The point is, don’t split your game protocol across UDP and TCP."

There is always going to be data transmitted other than the game protocol. Most likely that is going to be limited and not at the same time as real time data is being transmitted.

The question is are these companies doing anything illegal?

Cool idea. This would be useful to quickly run tests on local env.

Does anyone know if there is a similar project for Java?

I have seen multi-hour SQS outages recently. I'm thinking of options for how we can go about preventing an application failure if this happens again.

* If adding to SQS fails, temporarily store the item on disk or S3, then add to SQS when it's back up?

* any other options?

They can change the model to give a fixed amount of data for free, instead of picking a bunch of sites, breaking NN. I doubt it will happen.

If the gun manufacturer claimed that they have verified that guns don't kill.

> It has been a few months since I have seen a doctor, but I still receive some new goddamn bill every other day.

I went to a single visit to a hospital once and after the treatment, I got 4 different bills. I was amused why I was getting bills from places I had no idea about. Then I realized each entity had a different billing department - the hospital's bill, the doctor's bill, the tester's bill, etc. all related to the single visit to the same hospital.

I had to call each of the 4 departments and deal with insurance. It was a nightmare!

Can confirm. When I moved to the US, had to pay for incoming SMS. My friends who did not have an unlimited SMS plan, had SMS completely blocked so that they don't receive unwanted messages.

Nice. They should give an option to choose what to share. For example, I don't want to share network info.

Could be a weird bug. I have a lot of files in my drive and don't have any issues so far. My drive is set up to sync on windows and mac. Also use it on my android and web.

We have the same version of OpenSSL on 2 different test nodes.

OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips

One came up positive, One negative. Shouldn't it be negative for both?
