I immediately recognized the second picture from growing up in Baltimore, MD. It turns out that James Wines is a graduate of Towson High (class of '51) just 2 miles from where the Towson Best store was.

The lambdas are only triggered when there is data in the stream, so the "consumer" in this case is not always running. Under the hood there is a process that polls Kinesis to check for records but it's completely managed by A

You have never had carte blanche to do whatever you want with your property in the US. You cannot run a nail salon out of your residentially zoned house, either. Many actions come with negative externalities. The whole purpose of regulation

I’m not sure where you came up with 3/month @ $12 each. The actual numbers could be wildly different, I don’t think it’s safe to speculate so broadly. Also, while AMC is large, they aren’t the only game in town. They only control ~8k o

I’m bullish on HMNY and moviepass. A few things many people overlook, this article included - 1/ MoviePass does not reimburse 100% of the ticket price to all theaters. In at least 1,000 theaters they are getting $3 back or 25% of conce
