It's time once again for me to tweet thread about multi-cloud. Here we go...
Multi-cloud for individual workloads is a terrible best practice. Designing for it is generally accepting a drag on feature velocity in favor of buying optionality you likely won't exercise. Pick one cloud (I care not which) and go all in.
That's the platonic ideal.

Here in reality, multi-cloud is a thing. Acquisitions, workloads being better suited to other providers, line-of-business boundaries. It's okay.
I'm highly skeptical of folks advocating strongly for it. I'm less skeptical when @azure embraces it; they're one of a small group of companies that can tell a convincing "go all in on us" story.
So for the moment, I'm still opposed to the idea--but I'm willing to listen.

I'd love to hear @nicolefv weigh in on this with data.

As is my habit on plane rides, it's time to tweak something and livetweet it.

Today's exciting plan: get started with @github actions to get every commit to the master branch deployed to an S3 bucket. I will of course blame @ericabrescia for anything that fails.
I've gotten stuff like this working previously with AWS's CodeDeploy, so I do have a fallback.

The file in question is the raw Jinja2 template that renders the snarkdown (my markdown variant) for the lastweekinaws.com newsletter at build-time.
"Wait. How is that @ericabrescia's area of expertise" you may well think.

The Duckbill Group is five people, so I think that other companies are similarly sized. She works there, and they're still a scrappy startup, right? Ergo, it's all on her.

BREAKING: @awscloud has taken pity on us, apparently--they've released Savings Plans, which sounds like something that has to do with retirement. Fortunately it does--specifically sunsetting Reserved Instances. A thread:
I have a full analysis up at lastweekinaws.com/blog/aws-begin…, but at a glance this is a win across the board for almost everyone.
Alternately, @jeffbarr has a less snarky take here: aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-…

#THREAD Tension is high in #Chile as large demonstrations are taking place in many cities, following days of incidents culminated with the state of emergency being declared and curfew (for the first time since the dictatorship) being issued👇

High school students in Santiago peacefully begun #EvasionMasiva against surges in metro fares, which was met with harsh response by #CarabinerosDeChile (military police), here inside a metro car at Vicente Valdes metro station: goo.gl/maps/1SsziVWjv…

Army units were deployed to #Santiago early on Oct. 19, where they soon made use of their individual weapons. In this video shots are fired next to Del Sol metro station. The truck drives NW passing underneath a bridge here: goo.gl/maps/ABE8UFVZU…

[#Thread] 1/ This thread is on Tulsi Gabbard and the inordinate amount of support she appears to have online from #MAGA and pro-Trump accounts. Accounts that some believe to be part of an influence operation - Russian or otherwise. The findings are quite startling... #polbots
2/ I analysed several batches of tweets. Most of these are from between 15th and 20th of October. I analysed the hashtags #Tulsi2020 and #TulsiGabbard. I also analysed #QueenOfWarmongers, which refers to Tulsi's tweet where she called Hilary Clinton the 'queen of warmongers'
3/ Here is a link to that tweet, which was retweeted 79k times. I removed duplicates from my main sample of accounts tweeting on "Tulsi 2020" and "Tulsi Gabbard". This left around 10,000 unique accounts producing in the region of around 20,000 tweets.

#thread This may surprise many, but one of the richest books of Christian Theological insight (in my opionon) is the Exorcist by Peter Blatty. The movie too has some strong theological insight as well. Here are some of my favorite moments from each.
"What we give to the poor is what we take with us when we die."
“What seemed like morning was the beginning of endless night.”

In the shadow of the deplorable SCOTUS decision in #Rucho, it's time once again to talk about how to fix gerrymandering. So, here comes a thread.

(Betcha never seen a Twitter thread w/ToC before!)

Elections twitter peeps have probably heard me make these points before. You may agree with some, disagree with others. Either way, respond! Above all, I want to spark dialogue. I saw in BC how, when we don't get ahead of the curve, we end up behind it.

The tweet count on this thread is gonna be high, but I'm gonna make just 4 key points here. Here they are, up front, as a table of contents:

#Thread 1/ Today's a day when I think a lot of people are going to be discussing and critiquing #journalism Since I've been teaching the subject for quite some time now, here's some things I tell my students about their relationships to public officials.
2/ The first rule of #journalism, even in the @spj_tweets code of ethics, is to "seek truth and report it." Sources of truth don't always want it shared. Everyone wants to look good, and when people have chosen to do bad things, they don't want you to expose them.
3/ A side #ProTip for newsmakers: The best way to avoid unfavorable coverage is to not do bad things. It's not 100%, but it works a lot better than other shenanigans you try.

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"
