Amazon is going to run Whole Foods into the ground, but to be honest it sounds like they were already well on their way on their own.

I think they'd maxed out on the bougie indigo shopper pool and needed to go downmarket to fuel expansion since a lot of their revenue growth was around opening new stores

It is either ups usps or fedex here but for some reason the fedex guys just drive around in either an unmarked van or budget rental truck a lot of the time

More and more my packages are being delivered by AMZL. The delivery guys without fail ring my doorbell, drop the package and run like hell. Package theft is a giant thing around here so I've been ordering amazon less and less unless I know I'll be home. The delivery guys are probably fired from what I assume is a sub minimum wage 1099 gig if they spend more than 45 seconds delivering a package on average before moving again so I don't blame them but ugh. Buying less and less from amazon.

AWS: It may be slow and ridiculously unreliable, but at least it's expensive. I swear to god at my job we lose a server every week. One time they simply ran out of the type of server we were trying to get in an availability zone. Just ran out. No error message to explain this; the calls to the api to spin up the servers just silently failed. It took a day and a bunch of support tickets for them to admit that they flat out ran out of boxes.

from a layperson’s pov (ie, mine), aws seems to make a strange bedfellow with amazon’s more visible role as a retail outlet for physical products and digital content. does this seem kind of odd to anyone else? did they already have the infrastructure and then think “gently caress it, let’s let folks rent these assets” or is there more intent behind this diversification?

Sniep posted:lol And I guess it's a little comforting knowing it's just as bad inside amazon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think my favorite thing is that Amazon promises 10gb/s network with the instances we're getting, but in order to actually achieve 10gb/s (actually a bit less than that sustained) you have to put all your servers in the same placement group, be running amazon linux (which afaict is just centos with some crap added), have some special network drivers specially installed, and sacrifice some farm animals on an altar shaped like the amazon logo. Without all these steps you get less than half of that. We upgraded some of our instances to c5's recently and started intermittently getting multiple-second latencies on the EBS drives. dmesg showed some pretty interesting stuff happening with the ext4 journal.
