The term 'Lambda' has a basis in Computer Science as a type of 'anonymous function' - in which case the name is reasonably well suited. 'Serverless Computing' as a term to describe the paradigm I think is very

It's not a lie, and it's not misleading. The concept of 'server' loses all meaning in this given architecture. You create 'Lambdas' - units of functionality - and they do that they are supposed to do entirely i

I think you can do the math yourself - the costs are published. FYI - we did some experiments and the limiting factor was latency. 250-300ms on average, you have to go through their API feature as well, and that's part of the delay. Bu

" I find it weird that their poster child use case is still always a reactive event like watching S3 and formatting images." Because those are the things that need to be done in the real world, 99% of the time. Sadly, we don'

I don't think the issue he is addressing is 'safety and stability' - in the common sense. Families, for example are a lot 'less stable'. So are many communities - at least in the Western world. On the community leve

No - for violent crime at least, the 1950's was the 'low point' - the 1990's were actually a high point. Violent crime in 1992 was about 800% higher than in the 1950's at least in America. It's come down a litt

"There's no interpretative reasoning required when you're looking at a graph of the level of violence in society" Yes, there is. Imagine a society without justice/police in which people must fend for themselves. It
