Does that have to be a naked rematch? Rick S. might be afraid I'll bring a gun...

Do you know that we have a "no powerpoint" rule at Amazon? You would have an unfair advantage, but I am sure I can find something to make up for that...

BTW this won't be a match. I'll ask the questions, you anwser them, and if I want better answers I'll ask harder questions until I get the right answer. A sort of who-wants-to-be-a-millionair in reverse.

Whatever happens I want Halley as a referee...

I can confirm Fred's traffic numbers. TM doesn't drive that much traffic, although there is a bit of difference whether you are the leading article or ranked as one of the followers. Hitting the front page of HN will easily 5-10x traffic for me. Hitting the first page on Reddit/Programming will generate 5x the traffic of Hacker News.

I check on TM once or twice a day a to see what the Press/Bloggers are working on. HN I visit multiple times to see what my customers and peers are considering important.

If there is one channel in Flipboard I read daily, it is the Hacker News one.

with respect to features and geographies we are strong believers in an agile approach: launch product then iterate quickly :-)

WOW, that has been sent to the team. They are looking at it.

This appears as if sponsors are the demanding party here, but I have seen several situations play out where a keynote spot was offered, if and only if we would sponsor the conference.

There is a bit of Javascript provided by the Disqus guys that pulls the comment content dynamically from their servers and combines that with the static page that is served by S3 into your browser. The base file is never updated and it is all dynamically constructed in your browser. More details at http://docs.disqus.com/kb/

Nice, I like it. I'll switch to it when you have the "incremental uploads figured out. I currently use the sync feature from s3cmd which will only upload those files that have changed. The site is too large to do a full upload every time.

Re: All Things Distributed

Werner Vogels — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 18:29:35 -0000

Yes, S3 requires you to use a CNAME for the bucket to do the mapping and DNS doesn't allow you to use a CNAME for the apex. Route 53's integration with ELB has fixed this for EC2 but we need something similar for S3. I have been bugging the Route 53 folks about this, so who knows...

But I obviously didn't set up the redirect for allthingsdistributed.com correctly as it should redirect to www.all... but only does that if you specify no file. Back to the drawing board.

Excellent! great service. Just pointed allthingsdistributed.com to it.

Thanks for the service Dmitry!

Werner Vogels — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:12:00 -0000

If I understand Dmitry correctly, wwwizer won't break the deep links. I just updated the DNS setting so we may need to wait for them to drain from the caches before we know for sure.

Thanks. Fixed.

I seem to have missed several options in my research. Middleman being the other option. Good thing is that now all of data is just files it is easy to switch.

Yep, adding cloudfront is next. Thanks for the blue print!

If search engines are not able to evolve into consumers of client-side javascript generated pages they are losing out. It is not us who need to stop evolution but the search engines who need to adapt. Assuming the search engine is the almighty god to whom we all need to write out data is wrong, it is in our service and as such it needs to follow what we do.

Re: VP Engineering Vs CTO

Werner Vogels — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:45:50 -0000

I have always compared them as that a VP of Engineering wakes up each morning concerned whether he/she has the absolutely best engineering team and the CTO wakes up concerned whether they have the absolute best technology.

But there are many different roles for CTOs. I have written about what I see as the four major categories some time ago:

I am sorry Chris but for me clicking the link works, are you seeing something different? (Disqus truncates the text piece but not the link)

A quick answer to the last question:

NO maintenance windows (e.g. Always-on)

Re: Notes About Amazon DynamoDB

Werner Vogels — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:10:40 -0000

I wouldn't call it "lack of" because that sounds like customers want maintenance windows and we are not giving ut to them. I am pretty sure customers are happy not to have to deal with maintenance windows. Maybe "the absence of maintenance windows" is better :-) Let me see if I can pull some information together and write a follow-up Q&A blog post .
