multi-region AWS would have been adequate for this outage.

This is a great review, but don't let theory interfere with practice. There's an art and feel to radio and antenna building. I've built antennas with scrap wire and baluns without double checking . Just a rough length of wi

my point is that it's ambiguous, even gdpr.eu says otherwise, and it's so unclear that app developers err on the side of caution. It's nothing to be smug about. All of these seemingly capable people struggle with it .

every business needs to "track" it's audience. how do you run an app without measurement?

my favorite go trick is a simple semaphore using make(chan struct{}, CONCURRENCY) to throttle REST api calls and other concurrent goroutines. It’s really elegant acquisition by reading, and releasing the semaphore by writing. Great to limit

that's a reasonable theory. they've likely delayed the launch this long due to the inference cost compared to the more basic Alexa engine. I would also guess the testing is incomplete. Alexa+ is a slow roll out so they can impr

I wouldn't go that far. The SLA is a contract, and they are clear on the remedy (up to 100% refund if they don't hit 95% uptime in a month). Just like reading medication side effects, they are letting you know that downtime is pos

great suggestion. I'm baffled at how many devices force a dependency from a mechanical feature --> electricity --> online control logic when the mechanical feature should work fine alone

It's an AWS failure, perhaps, but it's not a reason to write off "the cloud"

i agree. the new LLM is better for dialog and Q&A, but they haven't properly tested intents and IOT integration at all.

Sounds like your lesson is "yes we should continue shaming AWS rather than fix our app"

This isn't a "cloud failure". All of these apps would be running now had they spent the additional 5% development costs to add failover to another region.

I don't think blaming AWS is fair, since they typically exceed their regional and AZ SLAs AWS makes their SLAs & uptime rates very clear, along with explicit warnings about building failover / business continuity. Most of the

Not in my neighborhood. I’ve seen strong sales of the new models and tons more used Teslas on the road. The competitive used prices have helped expand their audience tremendously. has TSLAQ ever been right? Maybe short term but never long t
