The blatant status page lies are getting absolutely ridiculous. How many hours does a service need to be totally down until it gets properly labelled as a "disruption"?

Sounds like you’re looking for DevOps roles. Other titles include Cloud or Systems Engineer. K8s is an uncommon thing to find on a hobbyist homelab, and experience administrating clusters implies good knowledge in other subjects too.

You don’t have to be as good at coding as a Software Engineer, but I’d say if you brushed up on a language (Python or Go) enough to be comfortable, finding those jobs shouldn’t be hard at all.

OK, I can't let this slide. I have to call this out. 99% of this is a blatant word-for-word copy of existing AWS documentation. It's not even re-written in his own words, just straight up copied. Every bullet point is there. Every picture is a copy. Looking at Basim Hennawi's other posts on his blog, he seems to have a repeating pattern in his other posts of ripping directly from other site documentation and passing it off as his own.

The repeated debacles of their trading systems going completely down for entire trading days already made me lose trust. I remember clearly their only communication through one of their most major outages was one tweet saying 'sorry' after the market had already closed. I discovered during this time they also had no customer support to call, only an email support system which was backlogged several days. Apparently they do have phone support now that have power to grant anyone access to customer data.

Robinhood reminded me of Theranos in that they are ran as tech companies that don't take the usual responsibilities of their respective industries seriously. And their outages make me think they don't take their tech seriously either.

I once listened, partially, to a single “Learn Japanese” podcast. Now months later my Spotify homepage still recommends Japanese language learning podcasts every single day.

I’m currently checking out YouTube Music. The deal is quite good, since it comes with YouTube Premium. In my experience the algorithm feels better, and you tend not to wind up on less “meh” recommendations.

> This led me to read the warning as "We will create a copy of your objects and delete the old one, so please be aware you will be charged for the cost of the copy" rather than "We will create a copy of your objects and two versions of them will exist forever."

First, the same warning you are referring to also says, exactly: “You can change the storage class without making a new copy of the object using a lifecycle rule.”

Second, to answer your prompt, the reason why the object is duplicated during a storage class change is because S3 is an object store and not a filesystem like you may assume. Performing a modification operation on an object does not change the object itself; instead a copy is made with modifications. When changing storage class, a copy is thus made. If you had used the lifecycle rule as the warning suggested, it would have performed your assumption: make the copy and delete the original object in the background.

P.S. Not trying to be abrasive :) I do though think you should considering hiring a real devops/cloud/sysadmin to manage AWS for you. If that is really not feasible for you, I suggest at the very least looking into setting up budget anomaly detection and alerting. You then might be able to have some visibility into your budget.

I find this comment baseless and insensitive to those that were killed. The Texas accident was attributed to a failure of road ice management. Bystander video clearly shows vehicles attempting to stop sliding for hundreds of yards on ice.

If you are investing on the short term, your instinct is correct that stocks are overvalued right now. For the S&P, the all-time historical CAPE mean (a ratio of price to inflation-adjusted earnings average) is 16.78, and we closed last week at an estimated 35.58. This is the second highest CAPE in stock market history. In other words, the market can be said to be 2x overvalued compared to what we would expect it to be based on earnings. To return to the mean, earnings need to double or prices need to halve.

If you're investing for a decades-away retirement, it's always fine to jump in at any time. My allocation is simple: 100% total international stock (I used to be 50/50 US/international but I'm accounting for US CAPE right now). I only plan to diversify out of stocks in the far future. I am diversifying across time.

Image Search. It took a massive hit to utility years back when Google removed the “view image” feature. It’s even worse now though: it’s basically essential to filter/blacklist Pinterest to prevent 50% of the your search from being polluted with unusable garbage.

That said, I also wish I could just turn off AMP (I try to avoid most news) and the QA thing.

To your point about sheets, I once purchased a supposedly-new white bedsheet that was not only torn, but soiled with small spots of some red/brown (blood?). I was obviously resold a used item.

I was so disgusted that I still remember this was when my perception of Amazon changed. It wasn’t the last time I would be disappointed by item quality. I still use Amazon, but mostly for consumables these days.
