Exactly. Also, who needs those resources just for a browser? Why not make it a full VDI instead? With those resources it feels like a waste to limit it that way.

$30-50/month is a wild price point for this. Who is going to pay that? It feels too expensive both for enterprise (existing remote desktop solutions run about half the cost) and for end-users. I worked on a similar solution to this and

Because those alerts are hookable and could shut down the instance.

You can do this by monitoring billing alerts and automatically shutting down non-critical infrastructure you have. "Do everything possible" is up to a customer to define because it depends on their infrastructure, AWS cannot defin

Budget alerts were the design decision made. You can set up your own infra to listen to budget alerts and cap your own costs. This is a feature that only makes sense to put in the customer's control because a general solution would wor

GCP doesn't support a cap, only alerts. You can use those alerts to implement your own cap mechanism, same as how it works on AWS except AWS billing is only on a one hour delay I believe so I'd say AWS wins here.

It hasn't been implemented because it is nonsensical. So you hit your limit. Is all your storage deleted? You can't receive an alert because that costs something (even if it's a fraction of a cent) to send. Are your domains f

This assumes all parties acting in good faith. A single bad actor can override years of good faith because the cost of an accusation is so great. Whether that accusation is substantiated or not, it can ruin a person's career. So yes, i

Pen and paper, the way most organizing was done before the digital age. You went to a community center, signed your kids up. Can you imagine organizing 18 kids without all these devices? Little League has been around since 1939, the need fo

Agreed on this feeling within AWS. The product I worked on came out of an engineering brainstorming meeting, we had to get it funded, small team, etc. Felt very much like startups I've worked at before and was part of the reason I stay

There's a lot to unpack here, but just to start: How is having search engines be the gatekeepers to knowledge preferable to a community like Wikipedia?

by andrewguenther 6y ago
Isn't the objective if a search engine to show you the most relevant result to your search? I find wikipedia results to be my most clicked because they're the most useful. I don't understand how those aren't "real&q

Docker Inc's antagonistic attitude towards Red Hat and personal attacks on their engineers was the beginning of the end for them. The people who really headlined those attacks are now gone, but the damage was done. Docker made it clear

I don't really see it as a dark side, but an important part of standardization. Why standardize an API no one wants? What's the best way to know someone wants it? What's the best way to work out the kinks in a proposal? A ref

This is misleading. This had more to do with internal audit tools and guardrails available than it did the services themselves.
