Internet zoning

Residential: social networks
Commercial: marketplaces
Industrial: AWS
Social networks have traditionally been purely "residential" and marketplaces purely "commercial".

But just like there's a trend towards mixed zoning in the physical world, we're starting to see a mix of residential and commercial as well in places like Substack and Patreon.
Also, add messaging/dating/personal homepages to residential, e-commerce/consumer SaaS to commercial, and GitHub/enterprise SaaS to industrial.

Labor liquidity is far below what it should be. In theory, a next-generation version of LinkedIn should continuously be finding you opportunities, tasks, and jobs. And not just full-time work.
This is a hard problem because it seems to subsume everything from job boards to MTurk to consulting gigs to Uber and Lyft. But I can think of a few z-axis approaches.
I think about the Japanese concept of Ikigai a lot. The ideal engine would find something you love, that you're good at, that the world needs, and that can make you money.

And it would surface this automatically, with new opportunities arising as you provably gained new skills.

Massive exit. With about $350M raised, that’s like $5B going to common. Hats off to the entire team. crunchbase.com/organization/p…
This is also a case where a strategic investment paid off for both Visa and Plaid.

Just speculating, but Visa may have had a ringside seat to the growth — and took the company off the table before others could put in bids.
To clarify: investors will also be part of common here, because they will choose to convert — they won’t just want their $350M back.

If they hold 30% & it’s non-participating preferred, they get back (0.3)($5.3B). If less common participating preferred, $350M + (0.3)(5.3-0.350).

How would you implement a high-pass filter on Twitter? Some tools include:

- Referrals
- Admission exams
- Staking / deposits
- Paid membership
- Unfollow, mute, block, report
- Moderators
- Subreddits & groups
- Cultural norms
- Machine learning
- Economic alignment

What else?
To explain terminology, in electrical engineering a "high-pass filter" only lets through signals above a certain frequency.

By analogy, a "high-pass filter" on Twitter would be a quality filter. One analogy is how Google returns the top 10 best links, not the full web.
I recognize that Twitter itself has put effort into this problem. The Moments product for interests, the idea of likes/RTs, the follow/unfollow dynamics, and so on.

But just like people gamed search with keyword stuffing, they are gaming social with clickbait outrage.

I've been using #AWS for 8+ years now, so IAM is relatively second-nature to me. But I just sat down to explain it to someone new to AWS and... wow, it is a confusing service. (thread) #aws #cloud #security #cloudcomputing
First, we've got policies - what can the role do and what services can it access? Policies are JSON-based (although AWS added a "friendlier" UI recently, which honestly creates some really confusing output). Most common security mistake here: using wildcards.
An IAM user or role can then have multiple policies, each with 1+ statements. Policies can be inline, AWS-managed, or account-managed (i.e. shared). Policies can be attached directly to users or roles or to the groups those users are in.

Q: What is Wavelength? AWS Wavelength provides developers the ability to build applications that serve end-users with single-digit millisecond latencies over the 5G network. Wavelength embeds AWS compute and storage services at the edge of telecommunications providers...
5G networks, enabling developers to serve use-cases that require ultra-low latency like machine learning inference at the edge, autonomous industrial equipment, smart cars and cities, Internet of Things (IoT), and Augmented and Virtual Reality. Wavelength brings the full power of
AWS to the edge of the 5G network, so customers can deploy the portions of an application that requires ultra-low latency to mobile and connected devices using the 5G network, and then seamlessly connect back to the rest of the application and the full range of cloud services

It’s time for a thread, an #AWS thread, to make sure you know your CloudFront from CloudTrail, and Athena from Aurora … with a little help from the #devcommunity

A is for Alarm

If you are new to #AWS and are using the free tier you may want to add a #CloudWatch Billing Alarm to make sure you don't run into any unexpected charges.

B is for Bucket

#AWS #S3 buckets store objects, similar to files and folders on your local machine.

A few weeks back, we've noticed our snapshot bills to grow weirdly high.. after some debugging, I've found the snapshot billing and way snapshots stored as an interesting concept..
As the graph says, the usage vs snapshot billing isn't growing proportionally linear.. (1/n)
I decided to debug how snapshots are billed.. fundamentally, snapshots are block-level backups of EBS volumes.. since AWS can't see data inside your block, they read disk blocks occupied and take a copy of them and store them as objects in their s3.. (2/n)
Every time there's a data change inside your EBS volume, by nature of linux and hard disks, the new blocks is where data is written.. So, AWS knows there's change of data (this could be deletion of data too) and marks those blocks as the difference in data..thus incremental (3/n)

principais (na minha opinião) serviços da #Aws e sua utilidade

a thread
Elastic Cloud Compute #EC2: maquinas virtuais, você pode usar subir aquele linux (ou windows) para montar um servidor

o serviço é altamente configurável e escalável, acaba servido de base para outros serviços da plataforma, é cobrado por hora/uso

o famoso servidor na nuvem #aws
Elastic Container Service #ECS: é um orquestrador de contêineres #docker, utiliza o #EC2 como base, aqui você monta as definições das suas aplicações/containers, conseguindo escalar, diminuir, atualziar de um jeito bem fácil

e ainda compartilhando recursos de hardware #aws
