War is bad. I am against it.

@Carnage4Life My title is 3√P of Engineering.

@jwatte @justin_liew It's generally because the language is gendered. We're often looking at the English translation.

@justin_liew In Europe it's common to advertise m/f/b to show you're committed to diversity. A bit like US companies advertising "equal opportunity employer."

Excuse me?

@justin_liew This is probably European - languages like German are gendered, and so gender is explicitly stated where the word for the role may be of a particular gender.

@lilyhuili The timesheets are part of the taxes, so double truth

Death, taxes and timesheets.

@skamille I feel this so strongly.

The "society with advanced technology but no knowledge of how it actually works" is a classic science fiction trope. We can get there with ML if we work hard enough.

I think one of the biggest risks to humanity posed by the new AI/ML future is stagnation. The machines are only as smart as the training data. The moment actual humans stop producing novel inputs the entire system becomes self referential.

What the hell is going on?

How is EventBridge Pipes different to EventBridge original recipe?

Weeks later I am still occasionally laughing at "There can be only Waddell", @reynoldsgareth

@yayKM @lilyhuili Just to be clear, I meant hit Kristina up. I got nothing.

@yayKM @lilyhuili Same.

Hands down the toughest day in my 15 years career today.😮‍💨

@PaulDJohnston @QuinnyPig I see what you mean. But also ... isn't all of AWS just handy shortcuts on top of EC2?

@tobyhede @QuinnyPig As far as I can see it's "let's share AWS Glue" and it allows people to do queries and extract data into temporary locations. It's... not something you couldn't do with Glue already. It's a shortcut definitely with some handy defaults...? Or am I really missing something?

And we're ready for @aselipsky's Wild Ride, better known as his #reinvent keynote... He takes the stage like a corporate rockstar. SIR IT IS WAY TOO EARLY

@PaulDJohnston @QuinnyPig It's similar thinking to "Encrypt at Rest". We don't trust policies and contracts to be the final arbiter of data security. If you can't see the data, a lot of the risk is mitigated.

@PaulDJohnston @QuinnyPig Even when you have a contract you probably want to reduce risk by preventing any access to PII data. We work with banks and have home grown implementations in place — essentially hashing PII so it can be mapped without exposing customer details.

@elisechant Sorry, I thought this was the thought leaders meeting.

I just heard the term "thought partner" in a meeting in case you were wondering how Wednesday was going.

Disappointed to discover I can still log in.
