Apple created their own silicon. Fedex uses its own pilots. The USPS uses it's own cars.
If you're a company relying upon AWS for your business, is it okay if you're down for a day, or two while you wait for AWS to resolve it's issue?
- lostlogin 5y agoIt’s bloody annoying when all I want to do is vacuum the floor and Roomba says nope, “active AWS incident”.
- Grazester 5y agoIf all you wanted to do was vacuum the floor you would not have gotten that particular vacuum cleaner. Clearly you wanted to do more than just vacuum the floor and something like this happening should be weighed with the purchase of the vacuum.
- lostlogin 5y agoI’ll rephrase. I wanted the floor vacuumed and I didn’t want to do it.

- bb88 5y ago> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. You mean like that rule, pedant? It's not name calling if it's an accurate representation of one's behavior. ped·ant /ˈpednt/: noun a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning.
- jasode 5y ago>Apple created their own silicon. Apple designs the M1. But TSMC (and possibly Samsung) actually manufacture the chips.
- bb88 5y agoI'm pretty sure that's a difference without a distinction.
- jcranberry 5y agoMost companies using AWS are tiny compared to the companies you mentioned.
