Is the waste really that large? I was under the impression that the waste was rather manageable.

Fails to mention that 80% of the profits are coming from the AI's OnlyFans account. Just kidding. It's insane how many niches like this there are to make some quick money with available open source libraries, if you know what you&

This is such an unfair comment. You're basically saying that once people are out of prison, they should commit to a life of poverty and continued suffering. The whole point of prison is to rehabilitate and make a net-positive contribut

The last Oracle DB migration was just for one part of internal retail operation that was particularly difficult or just needed more resources. Most of retail had been using AWS for quite some time before that (earlier than 2009). Source: wo

We're looking at this from a very narrow lens. A few of these wins a year in a small team will end up paying for itself fairly quickly.

This is obvious from Musk's twitter account. He posted a picture of the infamous s3xy shorts recently.

It's not even the reduction in storage costs in this paper that is groundbreaking. They talk about a way to not only reduce storage costs, but optimize for repairs. Repairs are costly at scale and reducing resources where possible: net

I have been a user of repl.it for quite some time. I use it occasionally to work on small projects with my younger sister who is a CS major. I would actually really love something like repl.it for my work. There are a ton of places where th

Why do you think they are abusive to their workforce? They are clear about their culture and pay top dollar for engineering talent. There are no surprises when you join.

Dropbox transfer supports up to 250GB files now. That's the way to go for most of my needs.

That's a pretty weak advantage. My closest walmart is much further than my local ups/usps/amazon drop off. Also, don't forget that Amazon grew 30-40% last quarter y/y.

Everything is simple when you're starting out. Over time, you'd see that users can have wildly different load patterns, which will affect how you scale and shard your database over time. It's a huge pain to manage and grow.

What are you going to do if your company makes an adjusted cost of living to your compensation? My company is already advising people to come back near our address due to tax reasons.

Go browse Blind for a few hours and you'll see how people really feel about these issues. I know some of the comments are in the minority, but even then, some of the comments are straight up vile.

That's way riskier though. There's a reason they are using BTC.

Totally agree that we, as in the world, are having issues right now and this is clearly being observed. My only point with this is to say that the impact is not being felt by most people just yet. The economic incentives for reducing our ca

I think the general marketing problem with climate change is that people know it's going to happen, but not exactly when. Are we going to have issues next year, 5 years, 20 years, etc? How will these issues impact me and my neighbors?

Why single out Amazon? Why not ask the same thing of Google and Microsoft as well?

I think the sum of the parts would end up being worth more than the single entity. Which would make Uncle Jeff worth even more. Not that I care.

The only thing these pastors who are keeping churches open is money. To ignore every health professional out there right now means they don't care about their flock at all.

I don’t care about egos. It’s a cool thing to do that also helps their brand as an employer. I hope other CEOs emulate this behavior.

For large corporations like Amazon, there are huge opportunities to move to Lambda. Back when I worked there, teams would over-provision their services like crazy. Most of it to scale for the holiday season. Most teams would not give that e

Getting access to your social media handles is now part of the application process for many different kinds of visas. To me, it's just another way for CBP agents to make arbitrary decisions. There's not even much accountability as

I have no idea how many other people are like this, but I already don't look at my receipts when I'm in a grocery store. If I do, it's because I realized I forgot something and want to know if I actually forgot something. So
