Sped up video of Starship's re-entry! SpaceX

AWS Cloud WAN now supports service insertion. This is the type of managed policy we originally designed for when creating the service. In the policy state you want a firewall between things, and the magic figures out your routing. Really exciting stuff: aws.amazon.com/blogs/networki…

It's Friday and all I want to see is the most common AWS services on cereal boxes like they were on the shelf at a Best Buy in the 90's. Who do I call? I feel like this is what GenAI was built for. Corey Quinn

Oh to highlight this explicitly: one often underlooked responsibility of leadership is to confidently and correctly declare failure.

We have a real aversion in our culture to say that something has failed, in almost any circumstance. This is exacerbated in corporate environments where one most particularly does not want to report failure up the ladder.

For those not in space-world, this is the inaugural launch of a rocket that started design about ten years ago. Really cool. The context for Kuiper/Amazon is many Kuiper satellites plan to use this rocket for launch. The last vehicle to prove space worthiness is New Glenn (Blue).

The Cius, maybe one of the worst executions ever. Not a single use case actually worked on it, of 20+ imagined. It's one of the biggest trust breakers I've seen. The most believable root cause was rooted in a corporate agreement with Intel, with very little Android support then.

Is this the first outage in IT history that isn't DNS

Meanwhile at Microsoft headquarters.. 😅

I was in a business meeting in Japan Friday. A coworker was presenting but the self view of the room was blocking slides. I got up and disabled them. Then the slides stopped working in front of the Japanese Executive, and I 'lose face'. Actually, BSOD. Thanks Crowdstrike.

New technical PM job working on the backend network side of the Kuiper LEO satellite service just opened: amazon.jobs/en/jobs/273333… US citizens, based out of Redmond/Seattle area. I work really closely with this team, it's a fun area. DMs are open for questions.

Ugh - I just want to see cat photos and mindless things and reddit is 90% politics. Is fark.com or an equivalent still running?

Starliner crew reports hearing strange "sonar like noises" emanating from their craft. This is the real audio of it:

When you're too lazy to find a patch cable, just use point to point microwave.

Where did the lies all begin? Where was the false narrative born? What single conspiracy broke the spirit of America? That's easy: air fryers.

If you know telco things (backhaul, RAN, core networks, etc) and are interested in working on Kuiper satellite networking, we are hiring our first dedicated telco SA (looking in DC and Seattle/Redmond first): amazon.jobs/jobs/2749291
