    Amazon S3 is down. Bezos holds world hostage

    Seattle and Vegas lunch spots are a mob scene

    Only play I see is to go long sushi ahead of the shortage

    Sonatine, how about the Billions homage to Jiro in S2:E2 Wags sushi scene?

    Yeah I used an app which was all screwed up yesterday, couldn't figure out what was wrong. Thought it was my device at first.

    When I read that article, I was floored by the impact of S3's malfunction. This is a somewhat unforeseen problem when too many services depend upon the same large third-party company for data storage.

    I tried to use Amazon's SNS to build a text notification system for PFA Radio. Huge fail. A lot of the functionality they claim exists really doesn't, and the documentation is piss poor.

    I gave up.

    I also found out later that the pricing was misleading. At first it appeared that I had a million SMS messages for free, but in reality it was only 100 (lol).

    No thanks.

    I thought that the days of expensive SMS messages were long over, but apparently not. The bulk SMS game is still not a cheap one.

    For whatever reason, the cost of SMS has only cheapened significantly on the consumer side (think unlimited text messaging on cell plans), but on the business side it's still surprisingly expensive.

    As much as I like the old school little extensions to radio, such as the call-to-listen-line, I'm not willing to sink a lot of money into it.
