If your jasmine rice is turning out sticky you’re cooking it wrong.

But to put that in perspective, 10k tons is still only around the consumption for around 2.3m people, or less than 2% of the population.

I can taste the difference between Japanese brands and, because we have a local Japanese grocer with various regional rice options, I get to eat the one I enjoy the most. But in general, I’ve not found non-Japanese rice that tastes as good,

As mentioned, I've done taste tests across various options and I can definitely tell the difference, which is why I pay more. But as I also said, I can afford to pay more. I don't think the average Japanese is going to be effected

I know that Australian-grown Japonica does, although I don't think produces in Australia care about taste (which is why I buy Japanese rice). But when the average bowl of rice is smothered in curry, demi-glace or egg, soy & sugar I

There are so many restaurants that talk about using the best rice in Japan. On asking them where it comes from and it's always either local to the restaurant, or to the prefecture the owner grew up in. There's a lot of local patri

The fact the average Japanese person won't even consider trying imported Japonica rice from Australia or USA is madness if budget is a consideration. But as someone who's tried many varieties of Japonica, there is a difference b

You still have absolute certainty. Read or write x amount of data and it will use exactly y R/WCU. It then just becomes a modeling problem allowing you to determine your costs upfront during design. That’s one of the most powerful feat

It would be really great to get more context on what a DPU is for pricing: https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/pricing/ I understand that AWS did one TPC-C 95/5 read/write benchmark and got 700k trans

There are a lot of APIs out there that are still XML-based, especially from enterprise suppliers. Equifax and Experian’s APis immediately come to mind as documents that generate complex results that people often want to turn into some type

They’re probably betting on most users being in AWS and only having to pay 1¢-2¢ transfer.

Does this mean SQLite for DO can lose up to 10 seconds of data in the event of a failing DO?

MemoryDB: 30% cheaper, 10TB free writes per month and just $0.04/GB (compared to $0.20/GB with the Redis version) after. And simple, no-downtime upgrades for ElastiCache and MemoryDB. From my research, MemoryDB is the only actuall

The 1000 requests per second per bucket limit feels pretty small.

Australia has similar low rates, but also a robust realtime bank-to-bank transfer network.

90% of the difficulty in booting a competitor is unrelated to copying the product. It's in finding and then convincing customers to spend money with you.

I wouldn't go that far. It's not offensive, just really weird in a lot of contexts.

Supposedly it’s not applicable to R2, but their Enterprise egress pricing is around the $0.05/GB rate. They won’t contact you though until you start to get close to the $5,000/month usage level, which itself can be a problem as yo

That’s 3,500 PUT and 5,500 GET requests per second per PREFIX. S3 does a bad job of describing what a prefix is, but for most[1] practical intents you can consider the entire key of an object the prefix. [1] The actual behaviour treats pref

Given 30.7TB SSD’s are about $5500 each and you’d need 56 to to get to 1.7PB (with no redundancy). Not to mention that SQLite’s maximum DB size is 140TB. I don’t think you’d be able to fit this much storage into a single machine, especially

The estimate sounds suspiciously similar to just the data storage component of DynamoDB. 1.7PB of data and indexes is about $5.1m/year in DynamoDB storage at list.
