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 this. The ec2 classic termination was actually a bit surprising in that context.
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 at some point it all cleared up? I remember hardening internal systems as if the they were public which was a good practice even as vpc arrived. They might have gotten a default public ip as well?
I used google app engine which was orphaned (at least version I tried) so that was a clear contrast w AWS.
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 through. I’ve not experienced that with AWS.
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.
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 Medi-cal funding that dwarfs recreational spending - and this is a shift in allocation over time. And I thought pools were racially integrated historically and it’s when they integrated genders the race panic stupidity came in big time. Especially in south some bad behavior.
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 arguably hijacked nearly 700 contributors efforts w a license like this. Because they are using it from start at least that won't be as bad
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.
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 connection. Price / perf / simplicity is amazing
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 spacex dramatically with ‘mass production’ (10x spacex) they never get close to that and many struggle with basic reliability
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 breakthrough rubric.
