The AWS EC2 service was invented in Cape Town, AWS already have a lab and infrastructure there so its easier for them to scale up infrastructure when the people, skills and local ecosystem is already present.

Pretty cool tech although I feel they may have missed the moment as AWS, Azure and GCP are becoming hypercompetitive to solve all things related to data/storage. Azure has been churning out major updates to its services and clearly tak

I'm probably looking in the wrong place but this was the only statement I could find on California's annual homeless budget in the linked article... "California's homeless and housing crises are linked, and the budget wi

The homeless and trash situation in the bay area has exploded in the last 2 years. Big sections of 880 are strewn with trash like a dump site and there are tent cities populating the underpasses in Berkeley, West/East Oakland. The citi

So its the equivalent of a credit check but focused on how you conduct yourself online. I'm okay with this only if its law that the report details are shared with the applicant. The odds of mistaken identity are too high with an automa

They aren't innocent either but I welcome the competition in a market segment that is dominated by so few players who strangle any innovation.

Google is doing the right thing. EPIC is a perfect example of the walled garden ecosystem that extracts every last drop from its clients and keeps anyone trying to innovate out. Healthcare tech could use the competition to drive down costs

Chamath Palihapitiya talked about this problem in an interview from 2018. Many tech startups spend 0.40c of every VC dollar with FB/Google/Amazon. Here is the original interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwR

This used to be the standard acquisition model for a few decades but I felt that since 2010 most large corporations figured out this wasn't a great strategy as they lost all the mindshare and eventually the market to a new competitor t

Its already happening to hundreds of business owners who sell their own products on Amazon. Anyone who had a successful FBA business is now diversifying away from Amazon as it seems almost impossible to resolve mistakes caused by their algo

Same here, getting close to hitting 7 figures. Never stepped foot in a university but I was coding from 13 and working part time from about that age. Uni just seemed like a waste of time as the CS curriculum was already out of date for mode

Precisely why I prefer using elektron machines. As awesome as ableton and NI's Maschine is I wanted to get as far away from a screen, a desk, OS updates, driver issues and all the junk you deal with as a developer day to day with softw

I use Spotify but something I do not enjoy about their playlists is they redefine genres. I noticed that all of their house genres are filled with auto-tuned singers and cheap sounding music (chainsmokers, swedish house mafia). This isn&#x2

My thoughts exactly and I believe its always been the goal of rights holders to get to this point.

Incredible to think that rap music would never have existed or become a popular genre if this law existed in the 80's and was weaponized against artists. Ultimately this will strengthen a labels position as signed artists will be &quot

Spelling mistake on my part. I meant "Roon Ready", its a standard that the company Roonlabs created for their streaming solution. I personally use Roon at home as I got tired of losing access to music I loved when Spotify changed

I feel your friends would enjoy hanging out in my lounge listening on a pair of Devore Orangutan 96's, Totaldac d1-direct and Leben tube amp. My dream setup and can't believe I have this in my home to enjoy everyday. They have a s

Good luck with that! I've been hoping to see Spotify support for streaming or searching or casting to a roodready endpoint but Spotify has not been helpful.

Glad to see that Cook hasn't altered this as Apple always had security as focus. It was one of the reasons I got my wife into using macs years ago, I never had to support her or worry about what website has managed to install ad malwar

Youtube is making the case for IPFS. I didn't think it would happen so soon but here we are. This is great news for the project and should drive more work on the convenience layers that need to be built above the IPFS layer.

What I find hilarious is that Zuckerberg has probably been trolling the forums of bitcoin.org and reddit crypto groups for many months. And like any good crypto "expert", he spent his time sharing opinions and copying other people

Very happy for the Tableau folks, they are great to work with! My firm uses Informatica's IICS to output all of the datasets for Tableau to visualize, its not as exciting as the hundreds of frameworks and languages that do the same but

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it, if anything Google Cloud just raised the profile of every BI product out there. I work very closely with the Google Cloud team as a technology partner. With the recent hire of Thomas Kurian he has to

I don't agree that every solution Finland or Iceland comes up with can be replicated to the rest of the world. These are ethnically homogenous countries with a small population and the majority of which is centered in a small area. Swe
