Netflix demonstrates how it is more than possible to not only survive but thrive versus Amazon whilst building on top of AWS ->
To those who warn of the dangers of building on top of AWS, I would say that if you can demonstrate you can build a company that thrives on AWS (as per Netflix) only then does the idea of building your own cloud have any sort of merit and that merit is still very very small.
... the idea that you might build a cloud yourself (which only a very few have the skill of AWS) because of fear of competing with Amazon when you can't even compete with Amazon on top of AWS is ... well, frankly ... muppet doom.

X : Thanks for fixing my Mac book.
Me : My pleasure. The battery had burst, busting the keyboard and the trackpad. All replaced and fixed now. I also upgraded your OS to High Sierra and tweaked a few other bits.
X : Thanks. Any chance you can install windows 10 on it?
Me : No
X : Why not?
Me : Your mac book is over nine years old ... Apple tries its damned hardest to make you buy a new one and not have an upgrade path. To get windows 10 running, I'd have to hack bootcamp into giving you things it doesn't want, mess around with partition tables ...
... I mean, it's bad enough on physical hardware when the Macbook screams "tiny fiddly screws, why not buy a new one?" but bootcamp is usually all out war against old versions. Haven't been down the path for some time.
X : Please.
Me : No. Buy a PC. Use Ubuntu.

X : What culture helps with mapping?
Me : Mapping does not require any specific culture. It just requires an understanding that context matters and it is worth examining before making a choice ...
... culture is more commonly brought up with management methods and normally in the form of an excuse i.e. the method is right just your culture is wrong, similar to the old line of "the strategy is right, it's your execution" ...
... in almost all circumstances when I hear demands for the "right" form of "culture" or "execution" the cause is some magic "one size fits all method" that doesn't work everywhere combined with believers who won't question the method.

X : Is Labour now backing a 2nd referendum - uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri…
Me : Labour has never ruled it out. There was always a process to be followed that was agreed at conference. If Labour cannot win support along the lines it has proposed then a 2nd referendum is always possible.
X : But you're against a 2nd referendum or remaining?
Me : Yes. But Labour is a broad church and my opinions will sometimes be in the minority in that broad church. As I've said many times before, getting Labour into power under Corbyn is far more important to me than Brexit.
... I make no bones about the fact that I'd prefer both i.e. Labour in power under Corbyn and brexit. In fact I find a reasonable compromise for brexit to be EEA / EFTA but whatever the outcome, we need to change the balance in society. That requires a new Gov.

.@netflix, which has been in India since 2016, scored big last summer with its massive hit "Sacred Games," its first piece of Indian original content with a mix of Hindi and English. #Netflix has said it would consider cheaper pricing tiers to lure more subscriptions in India.
.@amazon, meanwhile "has no fewer than 30 Indian originals in different stages of production and recently developed a dedicated Hindi-language version of its platform for India," according to the Hollywood Reporter.

.@Spotify, a Swedish company, is expected to launch in India within the next 6 months, per Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw. But it may face challenges: "Streaming services have about 100 million users in India, but a tiny fraction pay for the services."

[THREAD] what's the difference between all the #aws events like #reInvent and #AWSSummit etc? 🤷‍♀️

so first off, there are a ton of #aws events happening all around the world, all the time. i definitely try to make it to a lot of them! i am rich in frequent flyer miles 🌎✈️

here's a rundown of a few of the different types:
🗣️ an #AWSSummit is a 1-2 day event w/ multiple tracks of breakouts, a keynote + often workshops/labs/partner talks. summits are generally pretty big, + there should be something for almost everyone, at various skill levels and jobs. global list here: aws.amazon.com/summits

[Thread] A photo journey through an island in the Outer Hebrides off the coast of #Scotland, Lewis and Harris, with a small bit of #tech/#Amazon/#Netflix thrown in for good measure 🤓
Lewis and Harris is about a 3-hour ferry ride from Ullapool, which is already probably further up into Scotland than the vast majority of people will ever go. The view as you leave the Ullapool harbor is 😗
Once you get to Lewis and Harris (pop. 22,000), you've got a pretty wide open landscape in front of you.
