Most likely DynamoDB is BigTable like database, Amazon may even used forked version of Cassandra or HBase. All of this databases, got hot partition issue. If you cause to many read/write to one server you run into issues. That's w

Can you elaborate on your improvement proposals? E.g. With LogReduce you can click on group and see log lines that belongs to it. IS that something that solves your problem, or are you looking for something else. Feel free to send me an ema

At Sumo Logic we do "grep in cloud as a service". We use machine learning to do pattern clustering. Using lines of text to learn printfs they came from. The primary advantage for customer is easier to use and troubleshoot faster.

VC/exponential growth increase risk of exploding the whole company. In alternative reality: 1. They could hire way less aggressive and stay lean. Product development will be much slower, but they can operate cash flow positive. 2. With

Yes. Or even let me walk out of the car at front door and let it drive to garage spot. Pros: + parking is one of the least favorite part of driving. It also eats a lot of time. + low-speed makes it much easier, you can stop at any time. Als

Wouldn't it better if he pivoted to self-parking? At $700 a kit that allows car to drive by itself to garrage, open it, park would be so attractive. Driving through parking lot seems to be way easier than fully autonomous car.

Wow. So groceries without checkout. I thought that at some point RFID would replace barcodes providing similar experience. However, this system claim to be based on cameras and image recognition.

Looks like OpenAI set some standards. E.g. OpenAI Gym that encourage others like DeepMind to open-soure more training sets. Also gaming seems to be driving a lot of innovation. In 1990s games drove CPU/GPU advances, while now they seem

Browser tasks seems to be a greenfield field with amazing potential. What if AI can do anything what can human do you with a browser over the phone? Also love "bring your own Docker container format".

Yet another case of European founders that moved to San Francisco and became succesful. They tried to start in Ireland, but without much success (e.g Enterprise Ireland hasn't allocate them funding to previous vencture).

By the way, which 3d Printer would you recommend for hobby use case? 1. Prefer plug and play, interested in making stuff not debugging 3d printers. Probably that exclude most of cheap 3d printers. 2. Hobby, so likely will go with FDM instea

So know anyone can run their High Frequency Trading business on their side :-P. So much easier than buying hardware. Also deep learning works sometimes similarly. It's easier to play with on AWS with their hourly billing than buying ha

Very similar to Google Big Query. Hosted Presto with lambda alike pricing ($5 / TB scanned). Great for ad-hoc, crazy expensive if you do it 24/7.

I just blacklisted few email domains which fixed 90% of problems. Some radical step if you target big business is disallow free email providers (@gmail.com). That may create some backslash, but if you target enterprise that allow you to foc

Just announced on AWS Reinvent Keynote. It's nicely packaged their existing products (EC2, VPC, ...). So you can get Digital Ocean like experience on AWS. You can still tune the underlying services.

I hit that scenario, when we create tons of small files (e.g. < 10KB ones). In that use case it is often cheaper and easier just to use database such as DynamoDB. See my other comment, it got link to article about S3 costs optimizations
