    Why is your website still slow even after upgrading your EC2 instance? 🌍⚡ Let's deep dive into Amazon CloudFront. 🧩 The Setup A team launched their web application: • EC2 for the backend • S3 for static assets • Route 53 for DNS The application worked. But users outside their region complained: • Slow page loads • High image latency • Long download times They upgraded EC2. Nothing changed. 🚨 What Went Wrong The server wasn't the bottleneck. Distance was. Every request traveled thousands of kilometers to reach the origin server. Even a powerful server can't beat network latency. 🔍 The Real Insight Most people think CloudFront is just a CDN. It's much more than that. CloudFront moves your content closer to your users. Instead of every request hitting your origin... Requests are served from the nearest AWS Edge Location. Less distance. Less latency. Better user experience. 🛠 The Better Design They redesigned the architecture: • CloudFront in front of S3 & EC2 • Cached static assets at edge locations • Enabled compression (Gzip/Brotli) • Configured cache behaviors by content type • Added Origin Access Control (OAC) for secure S3 access • Used HTTPS with AWS Certificate Manager Now: • Images loaded faster • Global latency dropped dramatically • Origin traffic decreased • Infrastructure costs were reduced 💡 When CloudFront Becomes Powerful CloudFront isn't just about speed. It also provides: • Global content delivery • DDoS protection (AWS Shield integration) • Edge caching • HTTPS termination • Reduced origin load • Lower bandwidth costs 🎯 Final Lesson A faster server doesn't always mean a faster application. Sometimes... The biggest performance improvement comes from moving the content—not upgrading the compute. That's the real power of CloudFront.

    Temu is not a small company o . It belongs to PDD Holdings, a Chinese company listed on the US stock market. Its founder, Colin Huang, started Pinduoduo in 2015 and took it public in 2018. Last year PDD made $62.6 billion in sales and $14.4 billion in pure profit. So the money Temu is spending on ads comes from the parent company already made. Temu was founded because by 2022, Pinduoduo had stopped growing fast inside China. So PDD decided to look outside. They started planning the overseas business in January 2022. Temu was never built to make money early. It was built to grab customers first, the same way Amazon lost money for years before it became a giant. So is Temu losing money? Yes. Does it matter? No. Temu's total losses were about 7 billion by 2025. And if you notice, they've already cut down on their total and spend and are now focused on customer retention. Is it a good strategy? Yes and No. Yes, because there's a massive growth in less time. Which will inturn result to profit in the long run. No, because you need mad capital to pull it off.

    Activity on Amazon Seller Central forums seems down in terms of responses. Maybe submissions, too. Could be seasonal or exasperation dealing with Amazon. Also possible people aren't turning to the forums as much because AI provides good answers to most basic questions.

    @ImMeme0 @amazon My Fedex delivery today was definitly cut 3/4 across the bottom tape on the box. Set the box down to hide the cut in their delivery picture. They obviously checked what was in it. 2 fat girl thin tshirts & a prefilter for the air purifier. Not worth stealing I guess.

    @1Cecilia1967 Looking at that list, I would actually like the opposite. I would like ChatGPT to become my one-stop app. Instead of opening separate apps for social media, banking, shopping, navigation, email, entertainment, weather, and AI, I would like one intelligent assistant that I can simply talk to. Just like talking to a person, I could say what I want, and it would handle the rest. To me, that is where computing is headed. Instead of opening Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok, I could simply say, “Post this on X,” “Reply to that comment,” or “Find a good GIF for this response.” The AI could prepare it, let me review it when necessary, and then publish or send it. Instead of opening ChatGPT and reading everything on the screen, I could say, “Read me that response,” “Explain that answer in simpler language,” or “Find me something new and interesting to listen to.” The AI could search, summarize, and read the result aloud while I am driving, working, or doing something else. Instead of searching through Netflix or YouTube, I could say, “Find me a good documentary about black holes,” “Show me something interesting about history,” or “Play the latest interview on artificial intelligence.” It could find the material, explain why it might interest me, and start it. Instead of browsing Amazon, I could say, “Find me the best pressure-washer hose under $50,” and it could compare products, prices, specifications, reviews, and delivery times. Once I approved the choice, it could place the order. For banking, I could ask, “How much did I spend on groceries this month?” “What is this charge?” “Pay my electric bill,” or “Transfer $100 to savings.” Sensitive actions would still require secure confirmation, but I would not have to navigate through multiple menus. Photos could also become conversational. I could say, “Show me the pictures I took of my dogs last summer,” “Find the photo of that broken part,” or “Create an album from my trip.” The AI could organize, label, retrieve, and back up the photos automatically. Navigation could work the same way. I could say, “Take me to the closest hardware store that is open,” “Avoid traffic,” or “Find a gas station along the route.” It could combine maps, traffic, business hours, reviews, and my preferences into one answer. For remote work, I could say, “Schedule a meeting with John,” “Summarize today’s messages,” “Create a report from this spreadsheet,” or “Tell me what still needs to be done.” The AI could coordinate calendars, documents, email, meetings, and project information from one place. Emergency weather alerts could become more useful and personal. Instead of merely receiving a warning, I could ask, “Does this storm affect me?” “When will it arrive?” or “Should I move the vehicles under cover?” The AI could explain the risk and recommend practical action. Email could become completely conversational. I could say, “Read me my important emails,” “Find the message about my insurance,” “Reply to this one,” “Send that GIF,” or “Tell me which messages actually require my attention.” It could sort, summarize, draft, send, and retrieve messages without requiring me to search through the inbox manually. Credit and debit cards could also be managed through conversation. I could ask, “How much have I spent this month?” “Was this charge legitimate?” “Lock my card,” or “Which card should I use for the best rewards?” The AI could monitor spending, detect unusual activity, explain purchases, and help complete payments securely. The important point is that I would no longer think primarily in terms of separate apps. I would simply talk to one AI assistant that understands what I am trying to accomplish and coordinates the necessary services behind the scenes. That would be the ultimate interface: not merely an app, but a voice-controlled digital assistant that can listen, speak, search, explain, organize, communicate, and act on my behalf. We are already close to parts of that today.

    @FrancoisChauba1 @ycombinator Yeah from that standpoint it makes sense, in theory you’re not warming it more. Yet water absorbs that energy differently than glass and silicon does. So wouldn’t panels heat the surrounding air more and bounce sunlight off the surface in a way that would be more damaging to birds? That’s not what I was referring to tho, it’s this: your nuclear response brings up issues of international waters, defensibility, and hacking. It creates a sovereign target vulnerability where none previously existed. So a passing ship might shoot up your panels or drop trash on them. Or North Korea could send a sub and compromise it in a way that would take a week or more to get to depending on location. It’s all a great idea in theory until you have to operate one continuously with SLAs. That remote and you’re either going to tap a fiber cable or use Starlink. Who will gladly carry your service but if Starlink can do it anyway in space with fewer sovereign issues then why does anyone need you? Iran blowing up an Amazon datacenter in UAE means this is not theoretical.

    @omgsidewalks Nah. The most effective way to reduce crime is jailing criminals. If my street has 4 ******** causing problems, and those 4 ******** are jailed, I’m not going to suddenly say “****! There’s not enough ******** on this street! I better start stealing Amazon boxes to make up for it!” I’m going to say: “it sure is nice those ******** are in jail.”

    Big Tech's AI boom has a massive, hidden price tag. Off-balance-sheet obligations across five US tech giants (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle) have surged to a staggering $1.65 trillion. To fund huge data centers and GPU orders without bloating their financial balance sheets, companies are using long-term leases and joint ventures, a practice economists call shadow borrowing. It is completely legal accounting, but these future financial commitments are now larger than their actual recorded debt ($1.35 trillion). In fact, shadow borrowing is the exact accounting practice that brought down Enron in 2001. If AI revenue falls short, these hidden bills will hit hard.

    @robbysoave So the goal is not to have any economic development. Just lawsuits to slow down business. She did write her thesis on why Amazon was evil after all. AOC read it. - and killed H2 in Queens. Too many good paying jobs. Her constituents might have stopped relying on the government.

    @Sandeman52 In October of 2003, Amazon traded at around $3.04 split-adjusted. In 2006, it bottomed at around $1.29, a 57.6% drawdown in a 2.5 year bear market. It has never traded that low again. Ask yourself when a stock is down: what are the odds that it never trades this low again?

    It was fine when the assumption is these guys are the next Amazon, but it’s another story when it’s never been fully ready for prime time (while use cases exist). Like AI may replace a limited number of jobs, sure. It’s more resource consumption that’s the real issue though. 5/
