Hanging out at the @awscloud loft today and I--nope nope nope I'm going home.
Gotta verify that all of my information is corr--
Resisting the urge to attend the BlockChain talk and ask Hard Questions during the Q&A.

Like "When will I ever need to know about this in real life" like I did in math class.
"It's been ten years and blockchain is still looking for a business model beyond 'scamming people;' exactly how much harder do we have to believe here?"

I disagree with a lot of this, but it’s worth a read.
To wit, I don’t believe cloud has to be inherently more expensive at scale—but cost is the wrong lens to view cloud through.

The value is in increasing the speed of innovation. If that doesn’t matter to your company, cloud is probably the wrong answer for you.
If you’re going cloud as a pure cost play, I have some unfortunate news for you: some months are going to suuuuuck.

You have to perceive value beyond saving money on raw infra or there’s no point.

And now I review the State of Serverless report, published by everyone's favorite Tinder For Pets company, @datadoghq.
You can read the whole thing yourself without a paywall or registration gate: datadoghq.com/state-of-serve…

It's reasonably well done, so let's cut to the chase and make with the funny snarky bits.
First, this is done from a basis of @datadoghq customers. So this is Lambda adoption *among companies who are willing to engage with a SaaS monitoring provider.*

And also are open to dating dogs.

This is a big move that Alphabet (motto: "Google's parent company!") should rightly be lauded for. It's a demonstration of transparency that they've previously avoided.

It's earnings day, so this will likely become a thread as soon as I read their release.
I want to see Google commit to Cloud; it's one of their few large revenue drivers that isn't abjectly horrifying from a safety (self-driving cars and drones), privacy (basically everything else they sell), or society (everything except cloud) perspective.
What the...

Can someone who's good at accounting or lying tell me what the f*ck this chart is saying?

"Alphabet's non-Google revenue was $163 million, or 0.3% of all quarterly revenue" is what I take away.

How does @Salesforce plan to use #blockchain #smartcontracts? Extending out of #CRM into supply chain management, product traceability & trading platforms.

Seem to be familiar with the oracle problem and possibly why @dappsuite integrated @chainlink.

I don’t believe that hate should be normalized in our society. The breakdown of civility is something no one should be proud of. When need to reestablish some basic boundaries in society to bring humanity back in. Without basic morals we are becoming a nation who is thriving on..
Cultural war and systemic destruction of civilized behavior. We cannot beat hate with more hate. We must overcome hate with love and tolerance. If we keep adding more anger to our society it is only going to provoke more chaos and division. If we are truly #resisting tyranny then
We need pple to step up and show that there is a better way. We are more than just ourselves. We are the masses, from the least of us to the elite. We need leaders in every part of society to show that they are willing to make sacrifices themselves to advance the oppressed and...
