redgc's comments

Just remember, this is not limited to official images, and it's not weighted in any way based on usage/downloads. So a crypto image that's pushed and never downloaded has equal weight with the ubuntu:18.04 image

Maybe won't be long until we see "Open Distro for Mapbox" like was done with Elasticsearch

I did not see in the article nor so far here in the comments one example of this in the wild, which perhaps indicates that using such simple sampling approach isn't common? If someone could successfully execute this against Twitter or Reddit, for example - that changes its newsworthiness completely.

Presumably if ~57 would have been fatal then there's also a lot of serious non-fatal injuries too

The outcome will likely be BATNA based, not political. (https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/batna/translate-your-batna...).

Amazon have a pretty good alternative, so they'll only warehouse in Sweden if it makes economic sense vs Germany + Poland. As for the unions, their incentives and alternatives may be different to the union members too.

I always attempt to shop from Amazon Germany because (a) larger variety of items, and (b) I feel I can trust the reviews there. Have you found Swedish e-commerce sites to have enough reliable reviews to buy anything with confidence, or do you tend to buy products that you can find reviews of elsewhere? I joke to my wife, "If 500 Germans say it's good, I'm sold"

Something I forgot to add: Sweden does have some great gig worker to-the-door delivery companies that have sprung up, particularly around small items like from online pharmacies. When you fulfill an order using those companies they typically have a great monitoring app to track where your delivery is, to input your building door code if necessary, inform you when it's been left outside your door, etc.

I always find it a great contrast to compare to premium shipping companies like DHL and FedEx, whenever I'm unlucky enough to get a delivery from them from overseas. They're still stuck in a world of "we'll deliver between 9am and 6pm, be ready" and they also make little attempt to ask for door codes if you live in the inner city, so most first attempts end up with "premises was not accessible" with no convenient way to give them the four digit code they need. I spent 1+ hour on hold last week with DHL and FedEx for this exact purpose. It will be interesting to see how "modern" of an approach Amazon takes.

I live in Stockholm, and order regularly from Amazon Germany already. It's free shipping if you order 39 euro or above, which usually delivers things in around a week. Fast shipping of two working days costs 9 euro per shipment.

Based on what I've read and this article, it doesn't sound like that much will change once it officially "launches" a Swedish site, although maybe Amazon will lower the minimum amount for free shipping or speed up regular shipping time. Re: this article, I can see them being willing to hold off for quite some time.

Also to note: During the Covid-19 peak in Sweden, Amazon provided to-the-door delivery using Postnord, which I figured was somewhat of an experiment for when the Swedish site launched. It's pretty rare here in e-commerce to get door deliveries - most online shopping is sent to local convenience stores and you need to go and pick up.

I upgraded to version 3 but feel like they haven't made a product improvement since, despite the new subscription model. Staging of chunks still remains the killer feature to keep me with it but I'd be happy to switch (pay) if anything else came along.

Benedict Evans doesn't seem like the kind of guy to fall for BS though, let alone defend it. And surely at least one of their investors had the technical due diligence capability to investigate how much computing power is in the demo "rigs" and be able to know if such power can be "miniaturized" into a consumer product by year X, perhaps allowing for a little software optimization on the way too.

As it sounds like it's running inside Docker itself, I'd like to know if this supports "Docker in Docker". My requirement is not strictly DinD however I run multiple containers during CI (Postgres, node, test containers, etc). Possible via different approaches in CircleCI, Shippable and SemaphoreCI. I don't actually build any containers to save.

Do you have any trick for spinning up/down CI VMs on-demand?

I second the request for a Pure comparison

In other words, is there a forum or service where you can list high level requirements, list frameworks/libraries/technologies you plan to use, and have people critique that or suggest alternatives. And in case it wasn't clear, I'm absolutely fine with this being a commercial service, whether it's an individual freelance or more crowdish like 99designs.

Actually I'm still in the planning phase so was wanting to know if there are free or commercial ways to get "experts" to advise. I'm thinking of Cloudant for the database (particularly due to need for offline phone apps and bidirectional syncing), imgix for image serving (dynamic resize, etc), Wordpress for blogging, Bootstrap for the responsive framework, Mapbox for serving maps. Still totally undecided on things like Ruby on Rails, node.js, amber/ember/etc.js or bug tracking or usage/statistics tracking, phone developmpent platform (e.g. phonegap versus pure native), etc.
