What was the issue with twitter?

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.

Note my one complaint was that it would have been nice to wrap the resource finder script into the gui / web interface

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.

I was a user of this. But didn’t find it that useful! So if others had my experience traction would have been super low.

Like a lot of AWS stuff but not this.

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.

Is it still updating? Was hard to tell. But just 30 seconds of that would be great

Right - they had a great camera running - let’s enjoy a few rolling frames of the same spot showing touchdown area and systems working

Why such a long political speech and no views from onboard camera?

Is avx512 broadly available and error free w no stalls slowdowns or other side effects. For a long time it felt like a corner intel thing

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.
