    If you want to host a static website, all you need is S3. That is it. Don't forget to make your files public-readable. EC2 and load balancers are for dynamic content.

    For the most part, you shouldn't be using the fancy cloud features. Keep it simple. The only way to have a reasonable system is to keep it utterly as simple as possible. Anything that ties you into Amazon proprietary products should be ignored, although Amazon will try to convince you to pay for them. Anything too fancy will come back and bite you.

  2. Here is a quote from the author:

    Now your customers say, 'where's your mobile app? I want to be able to have voice assistance to talk to your particular product.'

    Is that really true? I thought apps were mostly a dead end now, and everyone is just writing for the web. Do people really want voice recognition in apps?

    Even hosting a simple static website is a nightmare.

    Put it on S3, you're done. Use whatever registrar you want. If you need help figuring out how to point your DNS to S3, then there are forums and stuff. Ask on Stackoverflow.

  4. First year (101) and second year (201). Also taught statistics first year. Taught while I was doing postgrad in CS, after having completed postgrad in Economics (BS with dual majors in CS and IS).

    That sounds nice.

  5. So......you think Grasham's law is a logic hole? Or the equation of exchange (mv=pq), despite being tested heavily empirically, is just a big logic hole? Maybe you just have a big mouth.

    I think you need to use a gender-neutral adjective-compliment.

    Of course. I'll try to get away from everything. For your sake.

    Before I do, here's a quote for you:

    They don't have to be connected to the internet to be hacked. Stuxnet showed that pretty clearly.

    You don't have to stick a key into an electric socket to get shocked, but still it's strongly recommended to not do it. Seriously, unless you can write secure code, keep it off the internet.

    Bet you'll find plenty of insecure voting machines around. There is absolutely no reason to have those things connected to the Internet.

    According to the report, the main thing that's changed is billionaires in Asia. So the communist country of China is turning out billionaires like there's no tomorrow. Good for growth, I guess. To each according to his need.

    That is extremely unsatisfying as an answer. The universe is just one huge mystery.

    In airplane emergencies you need to make sure to get oxygen to yourself before helping other people. Here you need to CYA before helping fixing other people's holes. The way the law is currently written (and it is stupidly written) people can really cause problems for you, even if you're just trying to help them.

  14. You still didn't answer the question: what economics class did you teach.

  16. Verily my good man. I apologize for the converse of the contrapositive of what I said.

    Shafer did the right thing as a security researcher, and alerted Patterson.

    Clearly that isn't the right thing.......

    It's cool that you......believe.....that but there's a study here that shows otherwise. Maybe you'd at least like to give some reasoning to back up your assertion? If you do, that would be interesting (implying that your current comment is lacking interest).

    Nah, you missed this (quoted from above): "The ads........encourage that kind of content to be created." It isn't the quality or type of ad that matters.

    Ha! You fucking wish! This is distracting the populace from looking at the laws they are going to pass.

    Last year I would have agreed with you, but so far they haven't been able to pull anything together. Republicans in congress don't seem capable of passing much.
