Ugh. Screw this article for making me defend billionaires.

lol, what? And this coming from someone named after the second largest cloud provider in the world.

TikTok has not popped up overnight. TikTok, or more specifically Douyin the Chinese specific version of the app, was already incredibly successful in China. They only decided to expand the app to the US market last year, and with that, had a HUGE marketing campaign to advertise it.

There’s some significant naivete in this post.

Yes, Kyrie was good Kyrie tonight and got 50.

Can you come up with a specific example? Which games? At what point does it become too complex? Cuz I am struggling to understand where you’re coming from. A Nintendo game...too complex?

Why do people watch this sport again?

Do you understand how many things in your day to day life are driven by algorithms?

I work on a web app that sees millions of monthly active users. We get DDOSed pretty regularly. Thankfully, our attackers are pretty unsophisticated, and we have defenses in place to make sure they don’t affect our users.

I’m fully aware of how terrible and needlessly complicated AWS. It’s a byproduct of how Amazon runs every product as it’s own mini-startup independent of everything else. The end result is no cohesive architecture or consistency.

It’s likely time consuming and expensive to scale. If you’re sharing data to a large and geographically spread user base through traditional HTTP connections, CDNs already exist that help cache data offloading some of your server costs, and have a network of servers across the globe to limit latency for most…

That’s partially true. Mixer uses WebRTC, which is a technology that is found in all major browsers today. It allows direct peer to peer connections through which the streaming of data (any data) can occur. Mixer, of course, uses a much more sophisticated system to handle streaming to thousands of users at once. It…

And Twitch is owned by Amazon. While Azure is one of the largest cloud computing, server-infrastructure services in the world, it pales in comparison to Amazon Web Services.

What a COLOSSAL fuckup. How is it that the ESA even had a publicly accessible spreadsheet with personal information?

I will never understand the lengths people will go to in order to work in the game industry.

It’s really not though. I work in software development, and our QA are treated very well. They get the exact same fantastic benefits (full health coverage for them and family, matching 401k, good amount of PTO, ability to work from home, catered lunch every day), and they’re an integral and fully integrated part of…

It absolutely would’ve been a “seismic shock” if Trae Young had won.

Why are you so intent on carrying Bethesda’s water for them? They’ve been an objectively bad company for a long time now, and have objectively treated their players like shit. Taking anything they say with a healthy amount of skepticism is perfectly justified at this point.

This is not a hot take, it’s a fucking delusional take.

You’re not a very smart person.
