What caused the AWS outage that felt like it took down half the internet on Monday?
It started with a race condition in DynamoDB's DNS propagation, which ended up setting the dynamod.us-east-1.amazonaws.com DNS to empty.

I just found out that Finland teaches kids in kindergarten to fact check, and actively teaches children how to spot fake news.
Why isn't this standard everywhere! The best time for other countries to follow suit was at the same time. The second best is now.

Finland trains six-year-olds to spot fake news – and they might be better at it than you

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free.
Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice.
Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

No one told me the hardest thing about software engineering was compartmentalizing the state of the world so you can focus.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

For 58€ a month I can ride on almost any public transport anywhere in Germany. Within a 15 minute walk from my house I can access 4 S Bahn lines, 3 UBahn lines, regional trains (I honestly don’t even know how many of those), 3 tram lines and at least 4 city bus lines (probably more).
Will the absence of robotaxis in Europe mark the moment its citizens notice how far their continent has fallen behind?

Still on holiday, so this week's By People For People post is another one of my favourite things I've written that no one read the first time. If we've ever worked together before you will definitely have heard me using this metaphor though!
