Did you send it to this address (the one in their website's footer): 55 New Oxford Street, London, WC1A 1BS ?

Very nice job, my friend :) I'll recommend our team to take a look.

Second that! I love the analogy ;)

Ad blocking is here to stay. Some people compare it to antivirus revolution, allowing end users to protect their browsing experience against malware and malicious use of web.

While I'm not going to complain about a price reduction, I'd honestly be more excited if S3 implemented support for additional headers and redirect rules. Right now, anyone hosting a single page app (e.g. Angular/React) behind S3 and Cloudfront is going to get an F on securityheaders.io.

You can setup "Origin Custom Headers" in CloudFront ;)

Saw the presentation last week at ServerlessConf in London and it really looks very promising. The cost behind this solution is what will really make me check this out :)

P.S. Quoting the author: "As you can see for these queries, the reference implementation performs reasonably well; it's nowhere near Redshift performance for the same queries, but for the price it really can't be beat today"

v6.9.0 marks the transition of Node.js v6 into Long Term Support (LTS) with the codename "Boron"

Welcome, Boron! We've been waiting for you :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback. This demo is not ideal and I agree there is more space for improvements. Would you like to help? :)

I love this idea :) I hope you don't mind if I'll implement it ;)

It might not be very helpful in this context, but I'm an engineer and our company aims to empower publishers and content providers offer the best reader experience by building this solution white labeled, with low barrier of entry.

If this will evolve into a standardized web payments API, I'm on the same page with you (I don't think so). But quality journalism is struggling and solo micro-payments won't work, we all agree on that, so how can we help the freedom of speech remain free? Think about it ;)

P. S. By the way, like in software engineering, we target to reuse existing e-commerce (or m-commerce) processes for both authentication and payments, so in theory you should not be asked to create a new account. Instead reuse existing ones.

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, I don't think we got that far :)

+1 :)

Cool feedback. Thank you! This approach doesn't get you to subscription (although technically it could), but rather allow you to read without unblocking or whitelisting adblockers, and without subscribing or sharing your personal data.

Fair point, but it's not a restaurant and educating readers this etiquette would be really tough. How about pay for reading and refund if you think it's not worth your money? Would you do that?

Agree on short reading articles. How about longer size content? And have a direct correlation / Math formula between how much time you need to "invest" consuming the content vs how much time you need to "spend" up-front in unlocking the content: micro-payments vs ads. Would that work for you?

And, regarding the payment, would you connect with Apple Pay or Amazon Payments or PayPal instead of providing publishers your card directly?

Imagine it's not blurring, but random replacement of alphanumeric characters that quickly replaces the original text in the article. Would you use it that way and which route: micro-payments or ads?

Would you use LA Times if we'd convince them to implement the following user experience:

It looks like post-Austin exit of Uber and Lyft, smart guys jumped on the opportunity to fill the gap. I really hope Arcade City will be able to provide sustainable & scalable solution!

P. S. I have no affiliation with either Arcade City or Christopher David. Read about this effort here: http://www.vocativ.com/327333/a-world-without-uber-dispatche...

It's strongly advised to be nice to people in general, but I agree that "Chances are you may end up working for them" :-)

This resonates with my experience. I agree that it requires a weird name to start productive conversations :)

I am really surprised that 4 months old article is so heavily discussed. Lots of things changed / improved / evolved since then and I'm almost positive that the author's opinion changed / improved / evolved. Would be cool to hear @_flynn's updated view on AWS Lambda!

This is really great initiative! Despite some fundamental critics and misconceptions, I'd like to say: Congrats, Vlad Alexandru!

In my humble opinion, this is not even close to "serverless", but rather "cross-platforms". The best description to current "serverless trend" that I've heard is that "infrastructure comes with no-ops and pre-scaled at massive scale, that only providers like Amazon's AWS, or Google's GCP, or Microsoft's Azure and alike can provide" ;)

Nice try to use Tesla's success and nail couple of millions (to be read: US$) for nothing. The difference is Tesla already produced other cars, that's why people invested in something that it's not produced yet.

Disclosure: I'm not a Tesla owner, neither gave deposits for any of their cars, which I find very stupid, but it's not my money :)

Great work! The fact that data is stored in my account (to be read: under my control) instead of outsourcing to 3rd parties is a huge plus.

If you will be able to make it less "technical" and more "plug-and-play", I think this will be cool viable solution to integrate (to be read: for customers like ours, that uses serverless computing in enterprise apps -> https://github.com/MitocGroup/deep-framework).

I second that. It must be an opt-in feature.

This is very exciting :) We have added support as well: https://github.com/MitocGroup/deep-framework

We have been working on similar effort, to allow businesses and developers avoid lock-ins and be cloud-agnostic:

From our experience, this is pretty hard, but not impossible!

Second that :) Reality is not binary. You can't reduce it to either 0 or 1...

Indeed big increase in revenue compared with cost of living. I'm surprised that you've decided to move to Seattle instead of switching to another company in SF. Can you please share the reasons why?

Finally! This is one of the most wanted functionality that we've waited since AWS re:Invent announcement!!!
