I've heard that claim made before, but the fact is that the Emperor specifically mentioned the atomic bomb in his surrender speech. That seems to me to be the most powerful evidence against the notion that it had 'little or no eff

Did you guys first attempt to boot up in another us-east availability zone? They were not all affected as this post seems to imply. I had a slave DB go down but the rest of our deployment was unaffected (the rest of the deployment is in a d
