You should really consider moving this webpage and report to something like AWS S3 when you first release it. Then move back to your usual servers when traffic has fallen off. Your poor servers must melt down when this shows up on Hacker News and Slashdot.

I don't get it either. Free Trade has improved the lives of billions of people. It helps prevent wars and binds people and countries together. I just don't get the Hacker News Hate on Free Trade.

Zappa is a Python tool that can be extremely helpful for persons getting into Lambda. It basically handles everything except for code creation (You have to do that). You can make crontab like jobs or a website and then push the code up to Lamba with a single command. It handles all the temporary S3 buckets, IAM account creation, fetching the Lambda URL, uploading code and connecting Lambda to API Gateway. Deployments are super smooth.

pip install zappa

It supports all of the Languages for Lambda, not just Python.

That reward is bullshit. Their requirements are so strict that no one could defeat it. If they did that same challenge in Iran, Iran would win the challenge and the reward.

> Plus, getting a copy of all your contacts is and invasion of privacy for an app that is advocating for privacy and security.

You really need to do research into this before making this claim. The phone numbers are hashed (Or something like it) before being sent to the Signal servers.

NSFW, but I should have figured that out with a name like json-porn.com

Have you thought about putting it up on Github and asking people for help? Seems like a good site that could use a community behind it.

> But democracy doesn't mean they can vote to force other countries to forgive their debts.

Bingo! Greece can do whatever it wants. If they want to stay in the Euro, then they can stay in the Euro but have to follow certain guidelines. If they want to do what they want to do then they can leave the Euro, but they should not complain when their overspending ways catch up to them and it all falls apart.

I have to disagree with the author. I have setup Wordpress using OpsWorks and it is a much better way to do this especially considering all of the stack can be auto managed via Chef. Updates are handled automatically and if you get a surge of traffic, autoscale kicks in.

The only issue is getting the plugins to auto update on all of the servers, which I am fairly certain you can do with Chef or WordPress just handles it.

The problem is that you need to find a DNS provider that allows master and slave configurations of your DNS information. For example, Dyn can act as a master and UltraDNS can act as a slave, however, Route53, you can't be either. With Route53, you are all in.

Lucky for Route53 users, Route53 DNS surface is really large and there is a really good chance that not even is attack could hurt it.

It's not "migrating to" that is the driving force, it's the you have to "migrate from" that is the driving force. Don't get stuck on old tech.

I have a good story on non-compete agreement!

I worked for a company based in New Mexico while I lived in California. When we both got sick of each other, at the exit interview the HR personnel on the phone from New Mexico told me I could not work in IT for the next 2 years as I signed a non-compete agreement. I just started laughing at them and told them I lived in California and good luck with enforcing that contract. End of conversation and I was out in the parking lot 5 minutes later, still laughing.

This, yet again, demonstrates that Trump does not understand how the US Government works. The President does not make laws, Congress does. You think the very people who signed up for a job so they can get rich later are really going to pass a law that limits their ability to get rich later?
