What do you mean “pushing for”?
Advising customers, providing discounted traffic and instances, defaulting to us-east-2 in the console for new accounts, etc.
Why is Amazon having to convince their users to use what should be automatic redundancy?
It's not the question of redundancy. It's the problem with customers just building everything in us-east-1, so it now dwarfs everything else.
For large failures that won't save you. Does Amazon have enough infrastructure to run all of the East instances on their West hardware? That's doubtful and if they tried it would degrade performance if not outright take down the West due to the load.
The replacement for us-east-1 is us-east-2. Amazon has been pushing companies to use it for quite a while. They even have discounted traffic between us-east-1 and us-east-2, it costs exactly the same as traffic within the us-east-1.
sure, he can delay the inevitable
Inevitable. LOL.
The EU will break up before it truly bans ICE engines. It's not going to happen in our lifetime. Brussels may impose a penalty of some kind on member states that don't comply, but it'll be fairly cheap. Some tax or another will be imposed, everyone will claim victory, and ICE vehicles will continue to roll off production lines on the Continent.
Most people are deeply stupid and that has always been the case.
Most people are not "deeply stupid". But that post was deeply arrogant.
These things are related.
Make up a mental model when you will reject the doom predictions. We aren't going to stop producing CO2. It isn't thermodynamically possible. Yet the disasters don't materialize.
When will South Florida be under the ocean? If it isn't in 20 years, would you reconsider the rhetoric? 50?
Something to think about.
If you haven't, go for a drive in a Waymo. Or check out the most recent Tesla FSD software.
It is obvious that this is going to replace human drivers in a lot of applications and roles.
AI is real. Welcome to the terrifying future.

I suspect phone manufacturers will attempt to find ways to block installing it on their devices
I suspect they'll just ignore it because no one will want to actually use it.
The problem with these ideology-based projects is that they have no mass appeal. No one out there in userland gives a flying fuck about free software. They want the latest apps. They want a seamless experience. Especially Gen Z who were raised on mobile devices. Tell them that they should give up iPhones and Android phones because "Free as in Freedom is the right way", and they're going to look at you like you're a tentacled thing from Mars. There simply aren't enough nerds on the fringe to make a "free" phone system work.
Bluetooth latency from your phone to the speaker
This is actually pretty significant if you want to use speakers to listen to a game, for example, while you're watching it on your laptop.
A 27 year old college dropout who decided that crypto was too boring so he started a gambling website and became a billionaire?
Gambling has been lucrative since a bunch of cavemen got together and started rolling rocks in the back of the cave for the best cut of Wooly Mammoth. That's never going to change. The dropout will more than likely die a rich man.
