   If you can write a great novel in one or two drafts, more power to you. I mentioned that it's not an absolute rule, especially for established experienced authors. However, if you're an aspiring novelist, and you are frustrated th

   Major requirement associated with getting that $150 permit is reporting disengagement statistics, and, hence, showing up on this report: http://www.recode.net/2017/2/2/14474800/waymo-self-driving-d...

   My wife is an aspiring novelist (on her 9th draft of the novel) with an MFA in fiction and some experience working for a literary agent. Some perspective from that side: - 99% of all drafts sent to literary agents are objectively non-publis

   Ha.ha. Did I mention I'm not in marketing? I do appreciate your passion! On your first point. There is a very strong risk of inadvertent misconfiguration or your employees not following best practices.. Or even poor documentation. Goo

   I know security is not compliance, and I'm not here to compare the two, but Google goes to great lengths to protect security. [0] TL;DR: - Google's global SDN is ultra-secure, and Google carries your packets on its network rather

    That's valid feedback. GCP's free tier is more valuable and more flexible than AWS, but only for 2 months instead of 12. There are also perpetual free tiers for several GCP services - AppEngine, BigQuery, Firebase. No comments on

    I would probably compare Dynamo to Google Datastore (released.. 8 years earlier?), or even to Bigtable, which went GA last summer. I'm not sure Spanner matches up with anything AWS at this point. (work on google Cloud)

    Snap is using appengine, which transparently manages scale, availability, resiliency, deployment, and so forth. It's a higher level of service than ec2. Thus many of the valid concerns you describe do not apply to snap, or are at least
