What do you need to get serviced every year? Do the tires wear out that fast?

They need the oil and coolant changed apparently, or they won't warranty the battery.

Mine needs a set of tyres every few years, a set of brakes every few years, and an oil change or two a year. None of this is especially expensive.

Oil and coolant? No, someone has lied to you. EVs do not need either changed.

He's a longtime OpenOffice/LibreOffice and now, I guess, CollabraOffice contributor.

More than that. He was one of the primary external developers back when OpenOffce was at Sun. He was responsible for the go-oo fork due to Sun restrictions and slowness, and was one of (if not the) main reason LibreOffice became its own thing after Sun started sinking.

China is also a big food importer, they'll feel it eventually

> Potential Conflict of Interest: The government relies, in part, on third-party firms to vet cloud technology, but those firms are hired and paid by the company being assessed.

Hah. First time looking at FedRAMP?

The real reason for this, of course, is accounting, it moves it off of the government's books.

It feels a lot like the FAA and NTSB moving safety checks of the Max 8 to Boeing engineers. Like of course they’re going to OK it…

I love https://github.com/lucagrulla/cw , it's like tail for cloudwatch. It's super fast.

That's great but that's not really the problem. The real problem is Amazon likes to release services that depend on other services, but leave the integration work to us.

I'm convinced Amazon has many teams crapping out new features but they don't have the political clout (or manpower) to create a comprehensive product. They are mandated by management to use existing services, and thus we the users suffer because we have to manage all this extra crap and noise just to enable basic functionality.

It's maddening. And then also it's maddening to see another service from a different team that was able to throw off these shackles and actually make a product that is self contained. You get a taste of how good things could be, and then you're thrown right back into the IAM/SQS/Cloudwatch/Cloudformation/Policy/everything else under the sun soup.

Which ones are a good example of how things could be?

There's so much Java development in the Bay

It's good advice, the US doesn't want to be there in six months, let alone six years.
