I suspect the economic environment may trigger reevaluations at Amazon and many other companies. I am not sure this is a bad thing? Fewer, but better choices may be OK?

I have no inside knowledge, but maybe rather than stop experimenting, they'll just declare some failures rather than keeping mediocre offerings alive. I have no first hand knowledge that Amazon payments was good or bad, but I also too

I ended up paying "professionals" to install some vinyl flooring in my house. They were making like 5 of the top 10 mistakes from the YouTube video I had watched the night before. I had to correct them, which was awkward since t

Telescopes are on another mountain, Mauna Kea. Lava from Mauno Loa can't reach Mauna Kea. Ash or earthquakes I guess could be an issue. Settlements would be at risk if lava leaves the crater.

Azure, despite being smaller than AWS, I think has more regions. So each one must be smaller, which likely means less spare capacity. I also sort of suspect the spot market is less robust there. Lots of Azure is lift and shift on premises

I think it still comes down to proper software engineering. If you have good interfaces, abstractions, and automated tests, you can move to new systems. I've seen teams struggle to move from DB version x to x+1, taking many many mon

The cloud is the new mainframe. The difference vs the old mainframe is it's so much more accessible to anyone. Barrier to entry to build one will be high, but to consume is very low. I'm trying to decide if lock in problem beco

It can be daunting to learn the vocabulary of any domain, wine included. It's even trickier because you are learning the words to describe flavors, and perception of flavors vary. But there are totally resources. If you want to go in

I presume there is much higher industrial demand in Texas and that explains the large delta? Both grids have challenges in extreme weather. In 2020 in California I lost power for about 4 hours due to too much load. I got to see the stars. I
