julsimonon Capital One Announces Data Security Incident

S3 is not a database, but that's not the point. As explained by Capital One, the attacker gained access through a misconfigured web app. This could have happened on any platform (on-premise or cloud), and the underlying AWS services weren't compromised in any way.

Absolutely. So much for "heinous crimes", hey?

If you drive around in France, you quickly realise most of them are installed in profitable areas, not in dangerous areas.

Looking forward to 100% of them being destroyed.

Why not use Amazon EMR directly instead of installing Spark on EC2 instances? https://aws.amazon.com/emr/

Awesome, man. Well done! If you want to speed up your Lambdas, all you have to do is allocate more memory, re: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-introduc.... It won't help MongoDB run faster, though.

julsimonon Ask HN: Why TensorFlow instead of Theano for deep learning?

When it comes to scalability, Apache MXNet (http://mxnet.io/) is actually the best choice. Multi-GPU support and distributed training on multiple hosts are extremely easy to set up. It's also supported by Keras (still in beta, though).

Hi everyone,

I'm a Technical Evangelist at Amazon Web Services.

julsimonon Java 8 and lambdas: ooooh that's how it works, then

Thanks for your comments, guys. Yes, I did push the verbosity setting to the max to underline my point. Unfortunately, there is lot of naive, bloated Java code out there (often much worse than this!) and some of us have to fix it for a living. I'll try to add an abstract singleton proxy bean factory next time :D
