AWS in general are not fans of Anycast. Interesting thread from one of their principal engineers on the topic. https://twitter.com/colmmacc/status/1067265693681311744 Google Cloud took a different approach based o

The number of definitions here suggest its not well defined, one more :) A data lake is when you store your data in object storage (S3, GCS etc) as opposed to a filesystem (HDFS) or some indexed datastore (Redshift etc). This potentially sa

The non US markets would be expected to mostly drag down Uber's numbers though, for the most part they are significantly better. Its surprising that Uber didnt at least break out US vs non-US markets, maybe the story isnt really that g

They don't lose money on every sale. 30% margins for Lyft, 20% margins for Uber (and 10% for uber eats.

I'm guessing the payback time on this is fairly long by the time you factor in the cost of moving all the backups. S3 One Zone is pretty competitive against Backblaze. Cloudflare is betting on most of their customers serving HTML not l

They did not get "out competed" in china, a country where competition has nothing to do with success. Likewise in Russia. Grab is the only company to out compete Uber so far.

The same limitations apply to the other on prem services. Theres no way the real EBS control and data plane is running on prem, its just some compatible service. Outposts has a limited feature set if you arent using vsphere, and Azure uses

I think the point is more you have to go all the way to manual trim to disable MCAS. For Lion Air, the pilots didnt run (or even recall) the checklist so didn't disable MCAS. However Ethiopian appears much worse, pilots did run the che

The problem with both domains is they can be used for actual spam, like fake invoices/receipts.

Uber and others seem to be having success with GPU accelerated big data workloads but it’s hard to see how this would work in a cloud environment. Nvidia price descrimination works for ML/rendering tasks that almost mandate GPUs but it

Large companies want to move their databases storage and compute off prem ASAP. Any tech/economy pullback should only accelerate that.

I suspect you are confusing the terms. What Google/Netflix call a "Canary" other companies call "deploying a single host/percentage of production traffic with a new version". When other companies talk about can

The challenge is absolutely not technical, so 2 years makes no difference. The challenge is that GDPR is essentially impossible to comply 100% with, and absolutely impossible to comply without incurring extra costs. GDPR is the PCI of the p
