AWS has an easy nudge available to get people to begin using us-east-2 over us-east-1: introduce new features, new EC2 instance types, etc in us-east-2 first.

Amazon's description of S3: "Data is automatically distributed across a minimum of three physical facilities that are geographically separated within an AWS Region". What are people doing wrong with how they use S3? Until AWS

Buying a stock or Bitcoin is not taxable. Selling an appreciated stock or asset is taxable. If you bought 100 Bitcoin for $900 each in January and sell it for $9000 each in December, you owe the federal government 39.6% x ($9000 - $900) * 1

An employee does not gain taxable income by driving to a client site and being reimbursed $0.535 per mile by the company as they have used fuel and have caused wear on their vehicle. But if the company decided to purchase an employee a new

Why is this in the tax bill? Congress has complex rules around passing permanent tax cuts that raise the deficit. The GOP is attempting to present a tax plan that has very large tax cuts and an equal amount of new revenue (e.g., less deduct

My alternate headline: GOP Tax Plan will force institutions to alter graduate tuition accounting Tuition waivers are currently used, especially in the science disciplines, to have outside research grant dollars pay for grad-student tuition.

The pre-warmed instance is smart and a nice feature that AWS Lambda does not have. AWS Lambdas can be mostly kept warm via cron (incurring usage charges), but end-users will inevitably run into slow, cold-start responses during usage spikes

But AWS has the concept of availability zones that they equate to a data center. AWS refers to an AZ as an "isolated location". It's becoming clear with the S3 outages and this outage that isolation is not as robust as expect

It's safe to assume that 1.2Tbps isn't a big deal for Google/MSFT/AWS/Cloudflare/Akamai/Yahoo/Verizon/etc. DNS is normally a low-bandwidth protocol so if you only provide DNS services, needing to

For a DNS-only service provider, it seems like 1.2Tbps could be 1000x normal traffic. But Akamai claims 30Tbps+ is their routine traffic[1]. Some have commented that this DDOS questions consolidation around cloud providers, but I think it w
