I'm sure I'm not the only one who's accidentally incurred a $1K+ charge on a personal AWS account because of confusing pricing docs. This is awesome - looking forward to using this ASAP

My understanding of the frustration is that while the model is deliberately stochastic, there was still unexplained non-determinism in the model that had to be fixed (and still persists). If the randomness isn't fully explained by pre-

This is one of the benefits of the Amazon writing practice; write up a one-pager on a topic and have a meeting where the first 10-15 minutes are reading the document. Then have a discussion. It's a good way to get to a consensus and

"This obsession with “hard work” is founded in a pessimistic view of natural state of humanity being lazy loafers. That unless we constantly reinforce the virtue of “hard work”, we’re all just going to slouch on the couch. Nonsense. Th

This definitely interests me as well. Another 'wasteful' mechanism is the nearly-ubiquitous use of JSON over a more optimized format like protocol buffers, etc... It reminds me of another HN discussion here: https://ne
