Looking at this strategically it seems that the photographer simply didn't expect the band and the sponsor to be so close. He desparately tries to separate them into two entities (artist and commercial) when in reality they're essentially two facets of the same brand.

It does seem that the band massively overreacted though.

I don't think this will play in their favour now that this has been posted so widely. Apparently the photographer wants the last word on this.

The cross group transactions are a little limited - https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/datast...

I don't think it's fair to compare them.

However, the more recent Google storage offerings based on Cloud Spanner do seem to offer this. I don't see how Amazon can make this statement - that doesn't stop it being an excellent enhancement to DynamoDB though.

I get the impression that the OP has underestimated the effect that giving up meat may have on these changes as well.

I have no idea what proportion of credit can be attributed to that change alone but it must surely have had some effect?

I've come across many developers who have been through the bootcamp process. Some were great, some less so.

The worst thing that bootcamps can do is to encourage developers to simply "pad" their GitHub accounts with exercises in order to have used as many technologies as possible. I've seen developers bragging solely about the number of repos and commits they have in GitHub.

Generally speaking though, some people come through the programs having gained an incredible amount of skill, some people were already very good and simply looked to extend their skills, and some came through without gaining much at all. Much like any education program.

The conference has been rescheduled to be two days earlier to avoid the conflict. It's now 31st May - 5th June.

All of the hotels within 20 miles are mostly booked or have responded to demand by vastly raising their prices. Lots of event agencies buy these rooms to group up and sell on as packages.

I think Cardiff has roughly 6000 hotel rooms. The concert is expected to bring in 140,000 people.

There's a government website that does this in the UK. immobilise.com.

If there isn't something like this in the US then it's a great idea but I'm reluctant to believe that a commercial venture is the best way to build it.

So often the line is when the business owner has spent enough money to feel more comfortable with their technology choice.
