>It also speaks to inner AWS turmoil at least at DynamoDB. How? Rick wasn't part of the DynamoDB service team. He wasn't an engineer, nor a manager on the team, nor even a product …

No, I haven't. There are thousands of reinvent sessions every year. I don't watch them all (I don't watch hardly any of them, and most people I know in Amazon watch a couple breako…

There are over a thousand breakout sessions at every reinvent every year. Some of the speakers are sales people, some are engineers, some are managers. There are L5 or junior engin…

I think I've seen you post something similar on r/aws about how Rick was "top DynamoDb person at AWS" (apologies if that wasn't you). I think you are overestimating Rick's "rank". …

>No one uses DynamoDB alone Almost every single team at Amazon that I can think of off the top of my head uses DynamoDB (or DDB + S3) as its sole data store. I know that there are …

In any serious security design, "the attacker probably won't do that" would and should be shot down immediately. If your security strategy is hoping that an attacker will be kind e…

"the attacker probably won't do that" is not a security control.

Why are you assuming that a determined attacker doesn't control your L4 stack? MITMs are a threat, your network could be compromised, routers (especially consumer routers) are rife…

"My logs and firewall are less cluttered" is not at all the correct metric to measure the security of your box. IP address spoofing is a thing. Blocking CIDR ranges might protect y…

That's not the point. There was a selloff in December. How crypto fared compared to anything else at any time period is irrelevant.

Humanity "continuing" or "moving on" naturally due to the passage of time (which will be quite a long time) is a completely different thing than humanity "choosing" to move on. You…

You're still not understanding. We are not "waiting". Waiting implies that we are making some type of conscious choice to put things on hold. But there is no choice. We cannot simp…

I'll say it again: we cannot move on with it until people are vaccinated. It's not a choice. It's not something where we just say "eh well it looks like it won't get better so let'…

Financial markets are more than just the SP500. The sentence before that is talking about both stock markets and crypto markets. Crypto (BTC specifically, but also others) dropped …

This is a false equivalency. Being vaccinated or not is the difference between requiring days/weeks in the hospital or only spending 1-2 days with a mild headache. It's "mildly inc…

It's not that. Like most niche AWS services, this was likely the "pet project" of a major AWS customer that wanted something like this as part of a major business agreement [0]. An…

>This a) is not new This specific announcement is new, because this specific announcement is about Outposts in a new, smaller form factor that just went GA today. >One use case is …

Newer fabs like this recycle a huge portion of their water. I did some back of the napkin math a few weeks ago and the amount of water that the fab will be drawing (after accountin…

I think the closest you can get is using a VPS like DigitalOcean where you pay $X for a server and there's no autoscaling to worry about. But even with those, if you go over the ba…

I think AWS drastically needs to create some type of "sandbox account" flag that severely locks down the services you can use and the amount you can scale up, exactly for reasons l…

It's stupidly confusing because the regional transfer of 1GB free per month isn't technically part of the "Free Tier" as advertised on this page [0], it's just part of the normal e…

You're misreading it. Only some parts of the free tier "age out". Other parts of the free tier are free forever (it's really stupidly confusing). The things announced in this annou…

I really doubt proximity to the ERCOT center has anything to do with it. The new facility isn't close enough at all to the ERCOT center to be on the same grid segment. And with a n…

The problem is that your calculations aren't just "grossly simplistic", they completely ignore the cash bonus, which again, is the entire problem. The cash bonus is a core part of …
