I'm not going to do your research for you, I'm just saying that whether either demonised or praised Bush is irrelevant to the claim that was being made - unless you're making specific claims that Bush will verifiably exhibit the ability to possess a little girl, or to drive the demons out of a little girl into a herd of pigs.

Truth is biased; it will ignore every argument you make that contradicts what it knows to be true. 2 + 2 = 4 is irredeemably biased against 2 + 2 = 5. Disturbingly partisan.

I think that decoupling teams boils down to giving teams complete ownership. And Amazon got parts of it right. It means that your team owns everything it builds. You own the code, you own the testing and you own the operations: you own the product. Various tools are laid at your feet, and you are asked to build.

Clearly, a benefit is that you can move fast. You don't need permissions from someone half a building away to do something. You don't need to touch code that needs another team's approval. There are no committees that decides on global rules. Your team decides on your team's rules.

Like a shared nothing architecture, there's very little that is shared between teams. Teams are often connected only via their service interfaces. Not much else beyond common tooling.

But even their tooling reflects decoupling. Every tool follows the self-service model ("YOU do what you WANT to do with YOUR stuff"). Their deployment system (named Apollo, mentioned in the slides) and their build system, and their many other tooling, all reflect this model.

Cons. What happens is that you might be reinventing the wheel at Amazon. Often. Code reuse is very low across teams. So there's no shared cost of ownership at Amazon, more often than not. It's the complete opposite at Google w.r.t. code reuse. There are many very high-quality libraries at Google that are designed to be shared. Guava (the Java library) is a great example.

Another con. You may not know what you're doing. But as a team you will still build a rickety solution that gets you to a working solution. This is the result of giving a team complete ownership: they'll build what they know with what they have. Amazon is slowly correcting some of these problems by having teams own specific Hard Problems. A good example is storage systems.

And a lack of consistency is a common issue across Amazon. Code quality and conventions fluctuate wildly across teams.

Overall, Amazon has figured out how to decouple things very well.

Wow. Look at me on the front page of Hacker News!

Our systems are extremely modular. We've previously disclosed that in excess of a hundred discrete services may be called to generate a single page on our web site. You can find more info about that at the following link.

http://highscalability.com/amazon-architecture

When we refer to a deployment at Amazon it means a single code push to one or more servers. For example, if you deploy a new piece of code to a thousand hosts that counts as one deployment. In other words a distinct update is pushed every 11.6 seconds.

Hopefully that makes sense.

This hasn't been true for a very long time. Back in the olde days of C programs with large code/data segments and tiny heaps it would be true. But things have changed:

* In modern interpreted/JITed languages, the "code" is actually data that gets malloced. These segments are not shared.

* Modern interpreted/JITed applications eat VAST quantities of heap. They constantly produce garbage, most of which (hopefully) gets culled by the garbage collector.

On GAE, even small Python instances typically grow to 30-40MB. Java instances typically hover around 90MB. The actual per-instance reservation must be significantly larger because boxes can never be allowed to go into swap. Figure that Google allocates ~128MB for every single active instance of every single application. It's a lot.

Deflationary spirals happen when the average price of everything, economy-wide, is going down. It’s perfectly normal for some things in the economy to get cheaper while other things get more expensive. Consumer technology is conspicuous and the way it gets cheap is conspicuous, but it accounts for a small proportion of what the average American spends money on. (The average American spends a small proportion of his/her income on consumer electronics because they’re so cheap.)

I don't get the vitriolic hate that TechCrunch gets on HN.

Sure, it can be trashy at times but it plays a very useful role in the Startp ecosystem. If it didn't exist then either Startups would get a lot less attention or some other publication would fill its place.

I think startups getting less attention is - on the balance - a bad thing. If a publication other than TC was publication-of-record then it is difficult to say if it would be better or worse.

Arrington did a media startup, cashed out and was going to run a VC fund. What's wrong with that?

There will certainly be demand for loans, but the supply and demand curves for loans may not intersect anymore, meaning that no loans are made (because given a deflation rate of 5%, a nominal interest rate of, say, 1.5% (only a very small premium over the minimum risk-free rate of 0.00%) is still a real interest rate of 6.5%, which may be more than many of the loan customers are willing to pay.

In other words, deflation makes financing any risky enterprise much harder, so only the mostly highly profitable projects succeed. This makes sense, because in a deflationary environment just holding a pile of cash is a profitable endeavour.
Google screwed up by trying to charge for CPU time in the first place. CPU time is an overabundant resource in the cluster, RAM is precious. This change was inevitable.

Look at Linode, Rackspacecloud, even EC2. They all charge primarily by the megabyte. I don't like it either, but it's the unfortunate economic reality.

In a sense, google is worse than microsoft - they really don't share any of their hardcore cs innovations. At least MS is in the business of selling technology. Google is in the business of hoarding it in order to derive competitive advantage in advertising.

I found this and given the usual interest in all things Scala and functional programming on HN, thought I'd share it.

tl;dr - functional reactive programming is a nice abstraction which addresses many of the flaws in the observer pattern, especially as it is often employed in UIs, and can be implemented quite nicely in Scala.

Even the most insignificant item can have a following.
In addition to population growth the need for an increase in money supply is also driven by increases in productivity per worker, which is enabled by technological progress. If, on the same fixed income, technological progress leads to the people of the 2030s expecting to have pet androids, HIV vaccinations and flying cars (we've been waiting a while for those) in addition to all the stuff they'd need to have to keep up with the Jones', the prices of the stuff we have now have to deflate.

I don't think we'll reach a peak of technological progress in the 2030s.

Unless, of course, economic stagnation is encouraged by discouraging the inherently risky process of investment by making the average return zero.

I disagree with parts of this - Google does release some rather high-quality source code (LevelDB, Protocol Buffers, Chrome/V8), and also provides some well-done research papers.

The entire concept of MapReduce wouldn't exist without Google. And that's inspired a whole host of products. In the same vein, I don't find it unusual that they're NOT sharing the code for MapReduce et al., in that it's proprietary technology. I don't expect Amazon to share the source code behind AWS, and I don't expect Google to share the source code for MapReduce.
The GAE change is that "true resources-based pricing" switched from an overabundant, almost irrelevant resource (CPU time) to the actual resource in short supply - RAM.

Except that thats just not true! We aren't charged by MB-hour. We are charged by instance hour. Do I pay less if my app is using only a small amount of memory? Not at all.

You may argue that instances are a proxy for ram. Certainly they are. They just aren't a proxy that has useful, meaningful metrics. The rules for when or why the infamous scheduler decides to spin up a new instance is pretty much fucking voodoo right now. Before, I had a metric, and it was directly related to me writing good code. Now, I might as well read tea leaves.

So, specifically, I am not complaining about being billed for RAM. If this is the route they want to go (and I understand why), then I my complaint is precisely that I am not being billed for RAM.
You have source for that? Otherwise those must be really pony physical servers cause people are getting Out-Of-Memory error at around 100 megs.
Can it be used to scan a web page and send you an alert if the page has changed?
Your points are totally valid.

But my point of view is, which company is more relevant to me as a developer and as someone trying to build a startup? And it seems to me that I get a lot more love from Amazon, whether its some nifty new DNS feature or dropping incoming bandwidth charges to 0.

The value is x86 compatibility.

Our seismograph network is held together by DMP eBox 2300 computers. These things have 200 MHz 486DX compatible CPUs, 128 MB RAM, and a CompactFlash slot that we populate with a 4 GB SLC NAND card (that are now ridiculously hard to find). The computers come in a nice, small, passively cooled metal case, cost about $150 each, and draw a few watts at idle.

Now, sure, we could get ARM-based systems that are cheaper, faster, and even less power hungry (and I hope in the future I can start using such systems!), but for now, I'm stuck with x86 because we have to run a proprietary Linux/x86 binary on each computer to get the data out of the digitizers and into a "common" data format.

(One day I'll write my own code to replace that proprietary binary, and then the company that makes a small, sub-$100 ARM board that boots Linux and has a flash memory slot of some sort, two Ethernet ports, and two real [not TTL-level] serial ports will be my most favorite company in the world.)

All this "we aren't a non-profit" and "oh poor us we have to make some money" and "its better than if we turn it off", just deliberately misses the point:

It was news to us that they are losing so much money.

It was news because they spent the last three years telling us to jump through insane hoops, locking ourselves thoroughly into a for-profit company, on the sole belief that doing so would allow efficiencies and scale not to be found elsewhere.

The complaint is not "you shouldn't make money off us". The complaint is what the fuck was all that bullshit we've been doing for three fucking years if it didn't make any fucking difference - as demonstrated by your "viable billing prices"?

And what does it say about their competence? After three years, they only discovered in May that they were measuring the wrong thing? Google? The analysis company. Only in May someone decided to look at how all the "brilliant GAE Way" actually impacted performance and resources? Nobody thought, "this cpu billing is all very well, but we are actually running 20 bazillion machines to serve 5 web pages per second - maybe our model might be wrong".

For the tiny guys, the free plan is viable. Perhaps for the giant guys, (I don't know) the plan is viable. For everyone in the middle, it is better to go to EC2. The only people who say they are staying are those who do not have the competence to move to EC2 or Heroku, i.e. non engineers every one of them.

So GAE used to be all "Hey, engineers, come code to our awesome paradigm shifting api, and you can be efficient and scale."

Now GAE is, "Hey, MBAs and Muggles, have your monkeys write generic java/python and we'll make it scale no matter what the cost (to you)!"
Nah, it's a win-win. I mean I'm sure there will be follow-on drama because that's part of the win.

Actually you can have it both ways. In an inflationary economy there are essentially two viable alternatives: consumption or saving. Holding cash above and beyond the amount needed for liquidity is an irrational preference.

In a deflationary economy, it becomes a very valid option which will serve to drive down the other two, particularly investment in productive assets

In a deflationary economy, holding cash offers a net return equivalent to the average investment return, without the associated risks or loss of liquidity. Essentially investment would become equivalent to spread betting (the costs of running an investment operation being analogous to the bookmaker's spread which makes it certain the average investment returns a loss); you'd only consider it if you thought you were a lot smarter than the rest of the market.

Given falling prices, it would also be more appealing to delay consumption than it is now, though people would still need and want things.

The economy won't come to a complete standstill - people people would continue to buy what they need and some investors would be tempted to gamble. But it would certainly slow down.
The price of the spot instances will never exceed that of the on-demand rate, since no-one would bid greater than a fixed rate for the same service

Checking the price history in the AWS console reveals that the prices for spot instances occasionally exceed the on-demand rate. In particular t1.micro instances reached $0.05/hr (vs the on-demand $0.02/hr). One possible explanation is that spot instances are more valuable because you can run more of them at a time than on-demand instances (100 total vs 20 total) without having to get an exemption for your use case. Another possible explanation is that people bid higher amounts to guarantee that their instances will run uninterrupted, knowing that even if the price briefly exceeds the on-demand price, the average should still be lower overall.
