My 10yo and 6yo rarely get screen time and when they do it's for something productive and not mind numbing like gaming or Youtube. Every day that goes by with them being relatively screen-free is a win in my book. They get to be kids -

I'm not trying to be a troll, but really - how are you ok with this as a parent? Why are you allowing this?

Isn't it obvious? Sleep is when the body does most of its own healing and restorative functions. Hospitals make money when people are ill. Why would they want you getting better on your own when they have a host of treatments and medic

I have an email address that I've only ever used as my AWS account email since many years ago. Somehow I started getting spam on it last year. It is not an address anyone could guess or somehow generate based on other data points such

Dry fasting for minimum of (7) 24-hour days per month (not necessarily consecutive days, but it does happen often like that) and eating only organic raw fruits and veggies, and drinking no water at all even on non-fasting days (or other liq

Being the worst is not as bad as people think. McDonalds has the worst burgers and Taco Bell the worst tacos, yet both massively successful operations.

This is an ongoing trend. Same thing is happening right now with Twilio with their Flex offering competing with longtime customers such as Talkdesk.

Surely an HN user with 42k karma and 8 year old account should know better than to purposefully use a clickbait title instead of the original. Or maybe that's how they got to 42k karma...?

The complexity of AWS is exactly why it is so successful. It is being pushed by both outside consultants and employees who become the experts within the enterprise. GCP's ease of use is a disadvantage in the big picture.

It is always a couple versions behind the build that the NSA/CIA has on their AWS account.

The Saudis facing confiscation and raids back home dumped their cash into Bitcoin which fueled the rally to $20k. They are now pulling the money out.

Facebook ads are a goldmine for both advertisers and FB. Not hard to see the value of the company, now, or years ago.

I really don't care to do that, no. I'm not looking to convince anyone of anything, just stating facts. The level of access to decision makers in many industry-specific private FB groups is incredibly valuable. I closed several 6-

Yes. You are looking at it from a developer/employee point of view. Running multiple businesses I know for a fact Facebook is a must. Even CEOs and other execs at companies using our products reach out routinely over Facebook. Then of

The Azure portal UI is horrendous. It is the prime example of exactly how NOT to design UI/UX.

Facebook posts from actual people are so mundane, self-serving and egoistical that I actually enjoy the ads more.

It sure did. It took us about a minute to fully fail over to AWS, and we are running there now for the rest of the day. We will promote GCP to be the primary cloud again tonight. Without our multi-cloud set up we would have been down for ov
