Very similar to lambda@edge Trade offs I see * Cloudflare is probably slightly closer to customers, but cloudfront is still very close * lambda@edge should be cheaper with amazons scale and ecosystem * cloudfront itself is very expensive co

Article is a bit naive about what it takes to run a shared service. Any API that AWS ES exposes has to be there forever, clearly pending_tasks had some risk of leaking internal implementation details that either couldn't be exposed, or

"Lyft, which completed a $600m fundraising in April, has expanded into 150 new cities this year " seems like this would skew the numbers a bit. Uber is already everywhere it needs to be in the US. Lyft is irrelevant until they pro

How is DAU audited and enforced, is there a standard? Things like ebitda have a pretty standard audit procedure, there are bank statements and receipts that an auditor can check, and they can investigate variances. DAU doesn't seem to

"paying a $97.50 fee (and a $10 tip to Servon)" Tipping on a completely service-less event, when already being ripped off by paying to move money around... I dont understand americans.

When the driver is on another trip the app tells you "Joe is completing another trip". I don't think this feature has much to do with behavioral science, more to do with combating the previous behavior which was drivers start

I would be surprised if amazon has access to the voice recordings, maybe something can be found in the terms of use? Customer data is pretty closely guarded at aws, I would be surprised if they would jeopardize uptake by medical and financi

In america it is super hard to give feedback to applicants, most mature workplaces ban it, and instruct you to route any such requests through the recruitment/HR team. I think it sucks, but this is way to litigious a society for it to
