Phew, it's not just me. Beyond me why more of these big tech companies can't build more redundancies for their services.

This is so heartbreaking, my heart stopped when reading this email. I was a HUGE fan of SQL Saturdays and I became a great pro with Power BI/SQL thanks to SQL Saturday and the outstanding network PASS provided...

This seems to further fortify Microsoft's position as having the best data platform of all the cloud providers. Others agree?

tcarn — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 15:14:56 +0000

Amazon makes life so hard for their suppliers it doesn't even surprise me. I once shipped a box of 10 laptops to sell on FBA (retail value ~$10k) and UPS showed the box as delivered, Amazon checked in the units and showed them available for sale on the website. Then 24 hours later all of them got removed saying I sent the inaccurate quantity in the box and none where now available for sale. The laptops disappeared and I had to do an insurance claim with UPS. Amazon's support was horrible and made me never want to sell with them again. Lots of stories like mine on the Amazon subreddit.

Good read, so many people forget the problems of plain vanilla js as they knock all the new frameworks out there.
