So I was also at this meeting. I agree that its a really spoiled discussion. But there is also a lot more un-published cost cutting. They have been aggressively slashing budget for servers (!) and hiring. Also I don't think the very ad

Internally the rumor is that our CICD pipelines failed to stop bad commits to certain AWS services. This isn’t due to tests but due to actual pipelines infra failing. We’ve been told to disable all pipelines even if we have time blockers or

Rumor is that our internal pipelines are the root cause. The CICD pipelines (not tests, the literal pipeline infrastructure) failed to block certain commits and pushed them to production when not ready. We’ve been told to manually disable t

AWS services are all built against each other so one failing will take down a bunch more which take down more like dominos. Internally there’s a list of >20 “public facing” AWS services impacted.

Seems unlikely many firms would want to scale out the hardware of their own network - rented from Amazon no less- instead.

Heard it may not launch soon because the project is so stressful employees may quit before it’s done. Lots of weekend work and lying management.

No internal use. This is a hype driven white labeling.

Can confirm there’s no internal use. It’s a fresh project to capitalize on 5g hype. They’re working with a partner for hardware but redoing their software. So it’s a pretty low-touch white label job. They have internal use planned but it wa

Oh my god you run KubeSail! Neat! I saw this and thought “can I use kube sail and host stuff in a mini cloud?”

Dude, are you trying to miss the point to score internet argument wins? This man is writing large, thoughtful explanation -complete with concessions and limits- that is not hyped and not biased and you’re latching on to minor details and us

Generally, I agree with the sentiment that I don’t want government meddling with what people say online and I find that to be a dangerous topic for congress to discuss. Optimisticly, one of the “solutions” she proposed is to open fb up to s

If this pricing model described in these tweets is actually accurate once R2 is released and once AWS responds (assuming that R2 doesn’t suck for other reasons) then this is business-plan-changing good pricing. Imagine a competitor to YouTu

Apples entire dev relations team needs a complete overhaul. Pour money into big bounties - they have it! Then use that as justification for charging 30% IAP. Also maybe be nicer to Indy devs who help promote your platform.

I think the intended attack is to fake an apple login page with the link. You open an actual apple.com page first when you find a tag - so pretty safe to scan - then if you open the link you’ll get an apple login page. Not suspicious. Now y

Heard from support that replying with negative responses are likely to shut it up. They track the rate of negative feedback and high negative feedback will kill it over time.

Can you name the companies and a source? I recall a few weeks ago there was a HN post about congressman but I didn’t recall seeing cyber security in the list.

The alternative story told internally is that the predecessor to AWS originated from a white-label storefront offering sold to traditional retailers entering the digital world in the early 2000s. Edit: Target, Borders (the late bookstore) a
