is that a feature of Route53?

It's also a feature of copper wire. And bees.

it's a simple js view for a 1.4mb json file, so "you got it so fast" really just depends on how quickly you will download that 1.4mb file.

I mean the initial http response, not even the speed of the subsequent ajax.

That's not really much to do with me - the credit there lies with fastly! This was the first time I've used a CDN, and I had a great experience using them. Highly recommended.

nothing was relaunched, it's just a landing page. i'm not sure why this is on HN.

Ah. The product I worked at at Amazon had a similar landing page to it's original landing page a year prior so that's why I was thinking it might be a soft relaunch. Amazon might have email blasted a ton of current customers with an offer which is why it resurfaced. I didn't know Amazon already offered this service; I'm only familiar with Amazon Cloud Drive.

i read this website as "not cpio"

thanks, thought i was also crazy.

Well he did say "fictional".

yup. wonder who has those patents now?

Xerox apparently had the patent for the original Palm Graffiti... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti_(Palm_OS)#Lawsuit

Aren't these patents only granted for about 17 years? If so, we're close to their end-of-life!

you are clearly not a [paranoid] american.

I currently live in Seattle and, in the past, I worked on mesh networks for another city. In that other city, the motivating factor for their public safety people was entirely ensuring connectivity for their personnel (making sure that in the event of a disaster, when cell systems might be inoperable, the first responders can still use their devices). Nobody talked about surveillance.

Talking about public safety is the easiest way to get something done. The other uses come later, quietly.

you didn't have the ability to selectively shutdown the mobile network to allow only those emergency and Telco employees with with dual sim'd phones to access in an emergency?

Awesome.

I'm a patient at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center and have heard a lot about this.

I have Stage 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma, had a very successful resection, radiation -- both at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell, and am now undergoing a long tail of Chemotherapy. It is nice to have the minds at Duke in my 'back pocket' looking into all of this.

It's unfortunate that Brain Cancer treatments do not get as easily funded as experiments for the much more common, even though what they want to do is essentially the same -- eventually cure all.
