    Unless you are doing live video, there is no reason to transcode real-time. Do it all upfront. You need to decide on your requirements and transcode everything to your desired form…

    This would normally be the case, but for small projects with a small number of contributors, they are always free to dual-license their own code, even "retro-actively". Anything th…

    Google is actually pretty good at accepting updates to things like operating hours. I've done it many times. They actually have a program ( https://www.google.com/local/guides/ ) t…

    no. name picking is a rabbit hole, proving your product/service is far more important. pick something unique so that people can google it and come up with a meaningful result. If i…

    sorry man, it's just not that useful in it's current form. Ranking reviews by usefulness might help, but it's a babystep. I think what I would find more useful is being able to com…

    To me the obvious use case is querying your log files as stored on s3. Query for a specific combination of features, or do some (simple) processing on them. It's really only useful…

    Anybody know whether it is kosher to use Rekognition (or comparable Google/Azure/Clarify solutions) as a source of "supervised" data to bootstrap your own in-house ML models? I'm p…

    What's your usecase for Athena (Really curious how this changes anything)? You can hook your lambda up to a cloudwatch scheduled event ( http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch…

    Re: users auth. Isn't that what Cognito is supposed to be? I mean, I don't fully understand it, but I think so. As for the cold boot issue, I thought the standing solution was to h…

    Yeah. Same. Similar thing happened to me when lambda came out. I'm guessing they are still rolling it out to everyone.
