And all your dependencies are co-located.

Aren't you deployed in multiple regions?

Totally ridiculous that AWS wouldn't by default make it multi-region and warn you heavily that your multi-region service is tied to a single region for identity.

The usability of AWS is so poor.

That wouldn't have even caught that, most likely unless they verified they had no incidental tie ins with us-east-1.

32 years ago was 1993. Those IDE's were from the 80's.

The cherry picking of this article is extreme. A company chooses to not employ someone based on a multiple page essay and this article takes a sentence and tries to make it look ridiculous.

> When designing anything, if you think that you are doing someone a favor by doing work ahead of time please stop.

And you think that is the right call for the majority of people?

Seriously? Typing on glass without auto-correct is painful. Do you really think it was a bad idea for designers to design that feature?

I think insight is that these Billions encompass more than their "product listing ads" type business.

New comment by ej_campbell in "Houston’s Mayor Was Right to Not Evacuate"

ej_campbell — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 07:08:49 +0000

Enormous compared to what? We spend 3.2 trillion a year on Medicare, which is 9.9K a person [1]. Imagine if just 1K per person per year (300B) was spent on infrastructure every year to make mass evacuations over a few days possible. Imagine how great normal day to day travel would be once that is in place, city by city.

Why is that an okay situation to be in? Given things floods, dirty bombs, etc. have a non-zero chance of happening, shouldn't cities, states and countries have the infrastructure to perform mass-evacuations if necessary?

New comment by ej_campbell in "Docker vs. Kubernetes vs. Mesos"

The Kubernetes folks talk about the differences here and how you could build Mesos apps in K8s: https://github.com/davidopp/kubernetes/blob/87f2590f373306ea...

The limitation of only being able to run Containers I think will be fleeting — as docker and alternatives mature, it really won't make sense to ever use anything else when trying to get the scale that Kubernetes and Mesos is going for by abstracting out the underlying hardware and providing a framework to run sophisticated apps on undifferentiated hardware.

ej_campbell — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 06:29:30 +0000

The headline on the LA Times is spot on. Could that be used instead?

California invested heavily in solar power. Now there's so much that other states are sometimes paid to take it

It'd only be a DOS vector, if the rest of the db bogged down during this type of contention.
