What was the issue with twitter?

I remember this. I don’t remember if it was cloud unit or something else like a pre hardened ami, but basically that - you got hammered in seconds after starting in default config so was good to take some steps right on launch.

Yeah, I didn’t want to distract but in my use case simpledb was even a fit after first dynamodb release for a reason I forget. Even more they took it totally off marketing after depreciating it but the hammer never dropped! Absolutely love

Note my one complaint was that it would have been nice to wrap the resource finder script into the gui / web interface

Ec2 classic was dirt simple. You basically were on a big public lan it felt like. If I remember right there were some issues with folks running scans / abuse originating inside AWS that felt like got a touch slow of a response - then a

One thing AWS has done well is charge enough out the gate that they don’t need those “good news” posts where companies jack rates up. Google maps, but many business focused apps I’ve used too end up squeezing ridiculous price increases thro

I was a user of this. But didn’t find it that useful! So if others had my experience traction would have been super low. Like a lot of AWS stuff but not this.

And of all the predations on the net - it’s wild THIS is what the ftc goes after. How about non age gated / warned gore and porn? How is that no a violation?

That was very memorable- grainy photos projected on a wall while nasa admin (old white guy) briefed Biden? Jwst had a pretty well planned out program for first images including events and it just got crushed.

Is it still updating? Was hard to tell. But just 30 seconds of that would be great

Right - they had a great camera running - let’s enjoy a few rolling frames of the same spot showing touchdown area and systems working

Why such a long political speech and no views from onboard camera?

That’s a trope that doesn’t bear on the Fleishhacker pool closure. There’s been a shift I think in govt spending from things like recreation to social services. If you took the SF homeless and other social services budgets including state M

A quick note that the "open source" license they use requires activation and license keys that block feature activations in the "open source" software be preserved. This license was popular w folks like apollo who arguab

The subhead is "X user quits paying for Twitter Blue to protest X commandeering his account." That may not matter much to Twitter. I'd lean towards a subhead of x signals product direction while angering some users. One good

A break in steering system would be a big deal. And unlikely. What is more likely is a reduction in power steering. If you are used to it manual steering is brutal especially on city streets or for things like parking.

Ha! So true. And there would be huge savings if they would both simplify things and focus much harder on substance

My question too - a lot of names but not seeing actual implementation

Over 100 million requests per second authenticated, billed, versioned, logged, checksummed, encrypted against 200+ trillion objects.

Why not metrics to quantify instead of metrics to quantity - is this an AI specific term?

I'm just using docker alone sometimes w some AWS service set - agreed completely. So simple to iterate, test and deploy. The performance and even reliability of stuff now is impressive. One AMD 7950x3d box on a 5 gig att fiber connecti

The other issue is these companies aren’t really beating spacex with mass production- rocket engines being a good example - spacex has manufactured well over 700 Merlin engines. So when these companies claim they are going to undercut space

Key is how it compares to competitors like SLS or Ariane 6. At least in terms of launch volume they are crushing competitors

Interesting - what apps were working as new installs on 12 year old android but not iPhone 7? That’s unusual. iPhones update cycle is much longer and they usually ship w a recent iOS version when released

And apple supports iPhones much better. Both iPhone 5 and 7 I believe have the isrg root now. My wife likes older iPhones for weight / size reasons and the longevity of these is impressive especially if you pay for a battery swap

Could not agree more. The purposeful unnecessary breaking stuff was maddening- and then being lectured at like you were an idiot more so. No more u”” for you!

What was the justification for the ban on the hunter Biden stories? Why not just issue a statement- the White House has a press office that could just deny things. They went around their messaging in an unusual way.

It’s funny seeing these battery breakthrough articles repeatedly. It’s been years of them now :) I’m always curious who the science writers are who can’t exercise critical thinking and ask a few tougher questions or review a battery breakth
