ROONEY: “There have only been a handful of days since the beginning of time on which the direction the world was taking has been changed for the better — in one 24-hour period — by an act of man.”

One of the most insightful interviews on the cloud industry from an industry expert director/cloud consultant:
- Clients pick AWS because they have the biggest “menu” and you can basically solve any problem you have on AWS.
- In his view, Azure is not necessarily the fastest for straight infrastructure, but if you need to manage an Active Directory, $MSFT is your place to go.
- GCP is the fastest in terms of infrastructure. It is set for burst-y type of workloads. If you need scale in a matter of seconds, $GOOGL is the place for you.
- The reason for you to use $ORCL cloud is mostly if you have an $ORCL database which is notoriously difficult to run in the cloud.
- The advantage of Big Tech processors CPUs is mostly in price-performance as they consume much less electricity and are cheaper because they skip $AMD, $INTC and go straight to the foundry. (with ARM design). The expert estimates it is similar with AI/ML types of chips which are now getting ramped up by $GOOGL and $AMZN.
- All Fortune 1000 size companies have at least 2 cloud providers as they want competitive pricing and less of a “lock up”.
- User-facing apps like Office or Gdocs is not really the main driver of why client choose a cloud provider. It’s more about whether you use $MSFT SQL servers, .NET, C# (you would prefer Azure), whereas is with Linux, Ruby, AJAX, JavaScript, Node.js, you would maybe prefer AWS or GCP.

The new website for visas is horribly buggy and cust service is unresponsive. We had confirmed #IR5 VAC and consular interviews for my parents, but the new site has the wrong conf # for my dad and missed my mom’s confirmation completely
@USAndMumbai - can you please clarify if we need to re-create profiles on the https://t.co/ViSkh4dffw website? The username and PW for the https://t.co/jJvZsVox99 website don’t seem to work on the new web link. TY !

The most #Wimbledon warning ever from umpire John Blom 🤣
An important reminder from #StanfordMed25's @abe_verghese on what can be lost when physicians focus on the "iPatient," rather than the actual patient in the exam room --> https://t.co/gPdrUUgVl7
