OK, I guess I qualify for being useful. However, if I succeed I will put millions of drivers out of their jobs and put high pressure on the educational system to produce highly educated workers instead of drivers, and on the political syste

University exposed me to a broad array of topics in my field. It allowed me to explore my interests and specialize in a particular area. It gave me the opportunity to hack, tinker, discuss with my peers, get to know the literature, gain dis

I believe you, but I would be willing to bet those mitigation strategies are a few unmaintained word documents that would be grossly insufficient if it actually came that far. I don't see why NetFlix would have to be more paranoid about AWS

There are billion dollar companies like NetFlix completely reliant on AWS APIs.

I don't see the point of this whole release a free API, shut it down nonsense. I wouldn't mind paying for any of Google's APIs.

As long as people are going short, banks have incentive to keep the price high and rake in the interest, using it to keep inflating the price. Only when everyone has stopped believing the price will go down and stops short selling, then the
