I've developed a cure for cancer. It's my magic lemonade, and it only costs $499.
At worst, you'll quench your thirst, but at best, you may get rid of that pesky tumor!

And if your mercenaries incorrectly target the wrong (innocent) person?

Cue all the people who say "Fine, then I won't ever go to Wired's site again."
That's kind of the point, you know.

Yep. My roommate got an offer from them last year. That offer was contingent upon a drug test. He ended up going with another offer.

One involved migrating our Go-based lambdas from the "Go 1.x Runtime" to a more generic one that AWS wants to use for compiled binaries across languages. They provided a very helpful guide, including the Cloudformation template changes. I implemented them, and they worked perfectly just as promised.
The other message I got was rather urgent and telling me I need to upgrade the SSL cert on my RDS. The due date on that action is August 22, 2024.
