>Now that I have got your attention with a catchy title - let me share with some of my thoughts regarding how AWS shines and how much your experience as a customer matters.

This is the one guaranteed way to turn me off to whatever you're going to talk about in the article.

I assume that his version of the internet is boring. I will say the majority of the popular internet or applications are similar in some regard.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised with how shady Google has been over the past couple of years, but this is still pretty wild, thanks for sharing.

sudovancity — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 16:03:48 +0000

I stopped using Facebook in 2009 when my parents and grandparents hopped on, I was 19 and felt like it wasn't cool anymore. Now I am telling them all to leave it due to privacy concerns, but hardly any of my family cares about privacy concerns and are just worried about keeping in touch. Which I understand but it is sad to see so little being understood about privacy. However, I don't see people like my parents ever leaving Facebook, and if they do, they will be the ones rejoining in a couple of days.

This is literally only being talked about because its bitcoin, and everyone loves to jump on the "Bitcoin is dead" bandwagon. Options expire worthless all the time.

I brought this up to my mother who has been retired now for about 15 years but somehow still has a linkedin account. She never created one but somehow still had a profile, it freaked me out.

New comment by sudovancity in "Some Amazon employees bought NYC condos before news of HQ2 location emerged"

sudovancity — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 17:14:47 +0000

"While employees of companies are barred from buying or selling stocks based on information that has not yet been made public, lawyers told the Journal that they were unaware of any such ban affecting real estate transactions."

This is exactly what I was wondering, I know there are rules against insider trading, but I wasn't sure if there were rules against people buying property based on a potential location for a new HQ.

Honestly, it used to be pretty good, they did some UI changes and added a paid platform and I haven't used it since.
