This is an insurance company issue, not an Amazon one.
miked85··on Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing

miked85··on Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing
It always used to be that you paid for the number of streams, and Netflix encouraged it https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712

You should probably talk to your AWS contact.
miked85··on Judge tentatively OKs $725M Facebook settlement: How to apply for a payout
What part of it do you believe is a scam? Seems like a standard class action suit where I might get a few dollars five years from now.

> AWS doesn't even have a way to report a bug

This is not true; we regularly open tickets with AWS for enhancements or bugs.

miked85··on Alien motherships: Pentagon official floats a theory for unexplained sightings
> If an alien species is technologically advanced enough that they can cross the universe, I find it hard to believe they simply wouldn't understand concepts like stealth, strategy, etc.

If they are that advanced, would they care about stealth or strategy?

miked85··on Swarm
I think much more common after one visits this site.
miked85··on A New Beginning for LifeHacker
I feel like lifehacker has slowly become a slightly better version of buzzfeed over the last few years.

Prime Video, though that isn't worth the cost.
miked85··on U.S. Postal Service starts nationwide electric vehicle fleet, buying 9,250 EVs
It definitely is for me (US) - I basically check my mail once a week only to throw it all out. I do wonder if maybe I should just stop checking it entirely.
miked85··on U.S. Postal Service starts nationwide electric vehicle fleet, buying 9,250 EVs
Well that's great, I'll be getting almost 100% junk mail via EV now.
miked85··on Ask HN: How do you manage your digital footprint in 2023?
Cox. At least in the past when I upgraded a modem, it required me calling support to give them the MAC address.
miked85··on Ask HN: How do you manage your digital footprint in 2023?
For me at least, that means calling support and giving them the new MAC address.
miked85··on Making macOS Apps Uninstallable
Just a joke - I've never understood why literally every other app works, but not Safari.
miked85··on Making macOS Apps Uninstallable
They are too busy working on allowing Safari to maximize as expected.
miked85··on GoDaddy: Hackers stole source code, installed malware in multi-year breach

Definitely true, but having zero redundancy doesn't seem like uptime is a high concern.
miked85··on Show HN: Docker rollout – Zero Downtime Deployment for Docker-compose
If you are only running on a single node, it doesn't sound like downtime is a big concern regardless?
miked85··on My employer is reneging on its remote-work promise
Is this a ChatGPT response too?
miked85··on Google is screwed, even if it wins its antitrust case
Google acquired DeepMind almost a decade ago. I'm not sure if anything significant has been produced yet? Maybe it has, and it's all behind the scenes.
miked85··on PagerDuty to Lay Off 7% of Staff; Revenue Officer to Exit
It's a little more than IFTTT, but not much.
miked85··on Bitwarden Acquires Passwordless.dev
I refuse to use a cloud-based password manager, they will all be hacked eventually. I will continue to use and pay for the standalone 1Password as long as possible, and then be forced to self-host vaultwarden.
miked85··on Shopify tells employees to just say no to meetings
That sounds random to me. I meeting can be scheduled if needed.
miked85··on Shopify tells employees to just say no to meetings
I'm not saying reaching out for help if needed is bad - rather that an unscheduled call is a huge context switch. Async is preferable.
