Early 80's, when I was 6 or 7, my best friend had a pinball machine in his basement. The front door "hatch" to it was unlocked and we spend countless hours poking the insides with a long screwdriver to trigger various component. Probably wasn't safe but it sure was fun!

It's been covered for at least the last 5 years by many reputable news orgs. That HN link (you looked at the link right?) includes several refs, and a Google search dozens more.

Isn't this just confirming a seemingly widely held opinion that the safety culture started to break down after 1997 after the merger with McDonnell Douglas?

First thing that comes to my mind reading this article is that they are just saving it all up to build the Nauvoo from the show "The Expanse".

I feel this article 100%.

Too many people think that remote work means "working from home" or that co-working means "working from WeWork". There are tons of different variations that let you get out and be around other people while working remote. I have long wanted to start a small fun workspace with space for 5 or so people that's really just a place for us all to do work together without being in a traditional office or our houses. A space we can define ourselves (or I define and invite others) that is not my house and also not a stuffy office.

IMHO - This is the future of work.

The biggest problem with Amplify is not any of it's underlying technologies. These are all great services. DynamoDB is one of the best things in the entire AWS service portfolio.

The biggest problem with Amplify is that it hides complexity that the developer really needs to have a firm grasp of when designing their application. You really need to think a lot about your access patterns before using DynamoDB. DynamoDB is OLTP and not OLAP. You aren't going to have a ton of ability to do ad-hoc queries with DynamoDB. that's just not a use case it's well suited for.

HOWEVER - AWS Amplify is marketed without that warning - people use it without really understanding that. Then they get stuck when they start trying to treat it like a traditional RDBMS datastore, which it is not.

Amplify "dumbs down" something that really should not be dumbed down. That's it's biggest problem and the reason I also stopped using Amplify some time ago.

> I think this article might bury the lede a bit:

When you read that quote carefully it doesn't say that Amazon employees get paid less. It's saying MAX pay at Walmart is $25/hr and MIN pay at Amazon is $18 an hour.

Apples and oranges. Meaningless clickbait.
