To signal I’m mostly done with this conversation in any sort of productive way after hearing the absurd notion that I should reference sci-fi as some prediction or validation for at best, edge cases if not entirely made up scenarios while entirely ignoring recent backlashes and legal action over the past few years where manufacturers have been told that is explicitly not okay. Event the FTC got up off their asses and did something.
Just imagine thinking a few allegories over the years which have come true isn’t an absurd survivors bias and completely ignores the mounds of trash and shit that’s great and still got it wrong is absurd.

He does. And it hasn’t impacted me in the least bit. The worst thing that might have ever happened to me is my wife gets an ad for shit I’ve searched. So is certainly not without any downsides. But they are largely outweighed by the good for most people’s use case. Most people shouldn’t and don’t give a fuck about the data tech has on them. What they should be concerned about is the government having data and a sane legal process for obtaining that data.
Cars with integrated tech are safer (assuming folks are going to cell phone either way, of course it would be better to actually ticket those folks but I digress) and improve the experience on a daily basis.

Oh right, because that happened with your computer that’s already following you for the past 15 years. I’ve met hundreds of people losing health insurance from the secret apps installed on phones and computers.
Y’all have to invent edge cases to make this stuff sound scary. Google has had the vast majority of everyone’s movement for the past 15 years. Every day, every meter.
Sure there are downsides that people don’t like but the vast majority of users don’t care and aren’t highly impacted.
The reality is folks want tech in their vehicles. They want it to integrate with their phones natively.

So exactly what everyone has been saying in the open for 5 years now. Massive government subsidies.

Nah. I haven’t had a service we use miss an SLA or cost more than it’s SLO budget in 2 years.
What specific services have they missed your SLA on and what incidents were they tied to? I understand that not every team has a guy on their team to monitor that that stuff and bitch for credits, but I do, and AWS is one of our most reliable vendors.
Look the fact that AWS, Azure, and more recently Google are the only choices sucks.
But the reality is most companies and projects don’t have the business case to justify multi region fail over much less vendor fail over. They are all built on single points of failures and will always have outages.
Everyone just notices it more when it’s AWS. And that’s a stupid reason to base decisions off of. Visa/mc was working. Reddit and Facebook were mostly working once they started routing through their multi cloud nodes. Maybe you couldn’t get to your banks web app, that’s on them using a single cloud with no way to route to alternate cloud nodes and services. And for them to double at best infrastructure costs, unless they are boa Chase Morgan etc, is dumb for 99.99% which is the SLA .
The world isn’t ending, emergency services are working, visa/mc failed over, I was still on Reddit and slack most of the day. It wasn’t the end of the world.
Anyway, I now realize I have summoned my frustrations with this entire thread and gone wildly off topic and ranted with full force at you.
I just don’t think it’s important that when there is a major outage on AWS/Azure/cloud flare. It was going to happen elsewhere, and you wouldn’t have an excuse to tell your pm not my problem, instead of digging into your app for 2 hours to find out x portion of you very distributed vendor list failed and you still have a single point of failure. I’d rather be able to point to AWS, say shit is fucked for everyone, and if you want multi cloud it’s going to cost at least 1.5x as much as we’re spending 🤷♂️.

Yeah rack space was killing it!
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
Yup, I’m sure your bank would never go down on another provider. Never.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
Sure that’s what I said.
Go ahead to rack space, or SAP, I’m sure you’ll have a much more reliable experience. Or just run your own. I’m sure it’ll be easy peasy and super reliable.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
I’ll wait for the final root cause but…
We mitigated most of it by swapping to secondary DNS and completely taking any thing related to AWS DNS and services in useast1. If you didn’t have secondary DNS and heavily reliant on AWS internal DNS this might be something they experienced.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
I’m a staff engineer who has been dealing with the results of SLAs before Amazon was an idea.
God forbid I have a p0 where I have to message a bunch of non technical directors it’s AWS not us. Much much worse than having to figure out and then pull in the team that pushed whatever untested shit made it’s way into production on a Friday afternoon.
Unless you’ve been responsible for a SaaS with SLAs in a b2b setting; I know more about the consequences of a provider outage than you.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
I know. Everyone making money and decisions are just idiots.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
How many banks didn’t work? Which ones? You have a source? Visa and MC were good all day here in the real world in the east coast.
Sounds like you’re just trying to exaggerate around an edge case that frankly isn’t the end of the world even if it were common for 4 hours a year
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
I never argued that. I provided the reality of what they did. I’m sorry the reality doesn’t align with how you think things should be.
You think everyone trying to make money is just stupid and has ignored some super reliable and cheap hosting because they want to gobble bezos cock? No, they solved challenging problems and made it a lot easier to stand up a reliable app.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
And? God forbid we touch grass for 6 hours a year.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 1 week ago:
It’s like all you people forgot how much shit broke before AWS. They have one major outage every few years and people lose their shit pretending they aren’t hitting the SLA or coming close.

Holy crap, looking to be pissed off much?
Screeching at a 503 not being accurate? 🤣👌👍

It was much better with rack space leading the way. We never had outages. Ever.

I’d love a durability report eventually. This is very cool and I’d love to do it but I definitely am wondering how it’s going to stand up long term.
- Comment on Honestly Bizarre 1 week ago:
Most.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 1 week ago:
Yes it is. Going straight to an edge case is a rather strong indicator that you know it is.

FSD is a mess. But this is how normal people drive. 15mph isnt all that much on a lot of roads.
