Beyond that, there are several -- like Spanner -- that don't exist anywhere else.

Sunset in Morocco — photo taken by Adrian We want to reduce carbon emissions of our compute and storage workloads, and one way of doing this is to choose a time and place where the “grid mix” of energy consumed is less carbon intensive. AWS calls this an Insufficient Capacity Exception (ICE) and works very hard to avoid it.

Let’s start by assuming that you have figured out a way to estimate the energy consumption and carbon footprint for a workload that is sensitive enough to register changes in the way you run the workload. The first thing to understand is that doing things consumes time and energy and has a carbon footprint of its own.

I loved the way its designer has playfully combined images and typography to create a design which was full of energy and movement. In ‘Girls Are Silly, Aren’t Boys Awful,’ Storch placed two children forehead to forehead with the gutter between them. Girls Are Silly, Aren’t Boys Awful. Recreated by Andy Clarke. Large preview ).

That could save a lot of time and energy and stability, obviously, as it relates to whatever products you’re releasing. Not everyone is Google. Stop reading posts from Netflix and Google. Because you get so excited about all this AWS stuff, Docker stuff, and in reality, it’s so hard just to build a successful product.

I saw Erik Fisher last time I was in Budapest, and Constantin Gonzalez later became one of the first AWS solutions architects in Germany, too many names to mention. Vikas left and co-founded Sonoa systems, which later became Apigee which is now part of Google Cloud. He hasn’t changed.

We use Googles speech-to-text multispeaker API (still in preview) to generate a summary podcast with two participants. The give and take of a discussion, even if simulated, gave the podcasts energy that a single speaker didnt have. Ive heard AIs read out source code listings in Python; its awful and useless.
