And if they switched their phone’s locale to a non-US country, then the distance would show up with 1-kilometre precision. Nearly 40% more accurate!

Meanwhile Europe is having morning tea and APAC evening news catch up...


This is just Amazon’s first move. They definitely have most of Zapier’s use cases on their roadmap at this point.


I suspect that by AWS going first here, they can easily go for more integrations whilst also eating some of the Zapier's competitors lunch.

This depends on price and by that time its possible that Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure will start jumping in on the integrations market too, further squeezing the likes of some enterprise-only integrations such as Tray.io which still has less integrations than Zapier in general.

It's still too early to tell, but we'll see how fast Amazon adds support for more API integrations or if GCP and Azure will join in and do the same.


Amazon seem to have a disadvantage here though. This kind of tool is aimed at non-developers who want to glue stuff together. With Zapier, they register an account and get stuck in – straightforward. With AWS, they register an account and are instantly overwhelmed with a million different things. AWS is too big and unfocused for the target market. I've seen developers hit a wall once they get on board AWS because it's just too much to deal with. You think the AWS dashboard is any friendlier to non-developers?


In the MONA museum in Tasmania, they have real life versions of the “renders”. It was amazing to see the inoperable bicycles in front of me.



I like how they’ve compared ML clusters to US cities. Fundamentally, it’s still a continuous distribution between the five variables with four “hot spots”.

>>>Revelle likened the types to the location and population of cities. More people live in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston than anywhere else in the country, but most of the country doesn’t live in any of those cities. And although you can easily lump someone in Newark into New York, a person in Pittsburgh is harder to classify because they are equally close to New York and Chicago.


I've been baking a variant of this recipe for several years now. It's the best bread I've made at home hands down. If you have a dutch oven (even a large cookie tray and upside down stainless steel bowl will do the trick), do try it!


There are many great variations on this recipe. Lahey has a coconut chocolate version [0] that is wonderful, even with half the chocolate he recommends. Toasted sesame seeds and blue cheese (added at one tenth the weight of the flour each) is another winner. I also came up with a sriracha & crushed red pepper flake version [1] that is pretty great, if I do say so myself.

Cast iron dutch ovens can be had cheaply, second-hand. Sometimes they are a bit rusty / caked with ancient foodstuffs, but an hour at your oven's highest heat - with your windows open - should take them back to foundry clean. Then you can oil them lightly (I like flaxseed oil), and bake them again upside down to season them, at more like bread-baking temps.


I've made this bread a few times with great success, too! I can advocate for the steel bowl method, as I've never owned a proper dutch oven.


I'll try it with a stainless steel stock pot with steel lid - would anyone suggest any form if 'seasoning' of the steel?

And has anyone tried a sourdough version of this recipe? I have a pretty cheerful sourdough going at present.


Likely anti money laundering legislation.


Yes, and also tax evasion and fraud.


The average salary is 73k£. 84k£ is adjusted to the cost of living in SF.


Actually I think it's only 56K in pounds - 73K is the dollar value. It's confusing because the order of those values is swapped between the two maps. On the first map they have $73K (£56K), i.e. the dollar value is first. On the second map (adjusted for cost of living) they have £84K ($104K), i.e. the pound value is first.
