> If GitHub does not meet the SLA, Customer will be entitled to service credit to Customer's account ("Service Credits") based on the calculation below ("Service Credits Calculation").
The linked document in my previous comment has more detail.
It's worth adding that big (BIG!) business clients will usually negotiate the terms for going below the SLA threshold. The goal is less to be compensated if it happens, and more to incentivize the provider to never let it happen.
Right. Basically, they give you a coupon to lower your cost of future consumption. So, you have to keep consuming the service. If you just leave, you get no rebate. Obviously, very large customers get special deals.
Megacap investors already cargo cult business practices that reduce their own return and harm employees. This is why they all over-hired at the start of covid only to begin layoffs a couple of years later.
In summary: billionaires aren't as competent as you'd hope.
I went through this reckoning when a company I worked for underwent layoffs for poor financial performance. Nothing I could have done since I started the job would have made it avoidable. I had the epiphany that I'd tied up my sense of self, and self-worth, with a status that I actually had very little control over.
Not being a software developer. That's actually generally a net negative, socially. It was all about class.
I've been fairly upwardly mobile. That alone gave me a feeling of success that glossed over any other inadequacies. Being comfortably financially also means - or meant - that I had the luxury of ignoring the reality of daily life for most people I met, however much I thought I hadn't lost touch.
Confronting the idea of how I'd feel about my life without it, and how the people in my life would feel about me, and how I feel about people who don't have the same comfort, is an instrumental part of me developing into a better, happier person.
My usage hit ~90% 5 years ago and hasn't shifted since. Apparently Google lack the means to see this line doesn't intersect with 100%, and no action is required.
Thankfully they do have the means to change the wording of the emails I can't unsubscribe from. I don't know what the official reason is but the result is I have to modify my filters.
Apple are no better. Choose between a permanent nag notification on Settings, my most trusted app, or disabling backup of all the negligibly-sized data.
I think this mentality must have its own imminent apocalypse. Gifted with an enormous increase in potential productivity, the decision is to do the same but cheaper? Who allocates capital to such spiritless commodification? It all feels like using a printing press to make one bible a month.
There must be a role that can be more productive. It might not necessarily be our skillsets that fit those roles - and the roles might be more stratified - but someone is going to be able to be do more, be paid more.
No you don’t get the hedonistic life. The turkey gets a hedonistic life because its value is in its consumption. It’s worth more to its owner fattened up as much as possible.
You on the other hand, are not bred to be consumed. And in fact the fatter you are, the more expensive and less useful you become.
So what you get is more likely starvation, if you aren’t culled to free resources.
