Same for me - I can use almost any mouse going just fine, but any shade of the Mighty Mouse feels instantly painful to me. Also, on the original Mighty Mouse I used to use, I frequently found however hard I pressed, I couldn't click it

Presumably just another s3 bucket? Do all your transferring from an EC2 instance in the same region and it never needs to waste bandwidth going over the public internet anyway.

Congrats on the product launch, looks a neat UI. AWS easily has the worst UX of the three major clouds I've used. From that perspective my favourite by far is GCP. Do you forsee supporting other cloud vendors? I guess there is a lot le

Sounds exactly like my former employer ha. IIRC our system wasn't even fancy ML - just finding known user IDs with identical timestamps over many simultaneous clicks / impressions on really diverse publishers.

Re the deli and other quasi essential shops, it would seem unfair if they closed when you can still buy your fancy cheese and olives in a supermarket.

I never did get what the Briefcase was supposed to do. It was so poorly explained that that was it's purpose. Perhaps because I didn't have any networked computers, and the utility of a Dropbox via floppy disk was so limited...

There's obviously a place for browser testing. But I'm still not convinced most of the huge effort that goes into it couldn't have been better spent building stronger unit and integration tests elsewhere in the tech stack.
