My personal theory is that they made such a bad naming decision on their first service that they just committed to it and doubled down from there on.

For Uber specifically?

Money, better and cheaper transportation where it sucked, and jobs for much more people than just developers.

Which offices are they closing?

Exactly my thoughts.

If you're pointing out the argument fallacies, you should at least name the negative effects and provide some argument/proof.

I think a more fair assessment would be: "Google is tracking people's movements"

Regardless, the SLA that AWS (& other cloud providers) meet is quite impressive.

Wouldn’t you agree it’s much more practical and inviting if you could just turn around a talk?

I’d imagine that if I needed to get up, walk up there and knock on my coworker’s door, I’d rather just message him.

And a text conversation and face to face one are very different and could lead it to different places.

Follow up question: It would be interesting to see the market share and revenues excluding the use from the own company or different orgs. E.g.: AWS without the Amazon Website use, Azure without the Office use, etc.

Is there any public information about it available?

I don’t think this goes directly against the parent comment. They aren’t inherently dangerous, but they’re really easy to do wrong and cause a lot of damage.

That’s a well known fact and they even promise 99.9X uptime in their service.

The usual argument is that Google is less likely to make mistakes than the average Joe managing his own infrastructure.

By that logic, nobody should care about the Khashoggi killing as well.

> There are regular company wide email threads (seattle-chatter@ among others) making jokes about the shitty working conditions of warehouse employees. Walking around the hallways and lunch areas you hear people making jokes about how awful it is. Nobody there cares.

I've been here for about three years, never saw any of that.

That's interesting... But does Amazon provide a public API for making purchases?

Hold on. What's the deal with being fat?

They're literally refusing visa because people are fat?

What is the actual source for those numbers? Rio is not one of the safest capitals in a very long time.

This article seems to be not only old, but very far from the actual numbers.

Jesus, that's a quick career progression at Facebook...

What do they give then? They must have some other sort of compensation other than the base salary...

It's not dying, but 0.89% seems awfully low tho...

Can you elaborate on the recent developments regarding the Express entry in Canada?

OP would probably recommend you to write your own browser.

Reykjavik, really?

How come a city in a country of 300,000 people pay as much as $100k USD for a SWE?

Do you have any data to back it up? I did a quick look at Glassdoor and it's far from that.

I've been getting into serverless computing for a few months now, and it's been a pretty good experience, and generally hassle free.

The only downside I saw was learning a bit of cloud formation to automatize the stack creation. But I guess if you want a quick prototype/deploy you might as well do it manually and learn it later.

I really recommend you to take a look at AWS's serverless products: https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/

This is not production quality code that is running on some important business. It's competitive programming.

Speed is the goal here.
