To be fair, this is exactly how I use Netflix. I have a free app that I pay to use completely outside the app store. Not sure of the actual rules, but it's definitely possible.

My guess is that it's using substituting one or more of the letters for some look-alike character out of the extended unicode character set. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack

I'm really interested in this market. Does anyone know where having easy-to-build floorplans are actually useful? Especially without expensive HW setups like this?

Unless you are doing live video, there is no reason to transcode real-time. Do it all upfront. You need to decide on your requirements and transcode everything to your desired format. I'd suggest https://aws.amazon.com/

This would normally be the case, but for small projects with a small number of contributors, they are always free to dual-license their own code, even "retro-actively". Anything that was already released would still be available u

Google is actually pretty good at accepting updates to things like operating hours. I've done it many times. They actually have a program ( https://www.google.com/local/guides/ ) that encourages you to keep the

no. name picking is a rabbit hole, proving your product/service is far more important. pick something unique so that people can google it and come up with a meaningful result. If it becomes a problem, you can always change it AFTER you

sorry man, it's just not that useful in it's current form. Ranking reviews by usefulness might help, but it's a babystep. I think what I would find more useful is being able to compare camera's and lenses side by side, a

To me the obvious use case is querying your log files as stored on s3. Query for a specific combination of features, or do some (simple) processing on them. It's really only useful for a small list of file formats. Doesn't really

Anybody know whether it is kosher to use Rekognition (or comparable Google/Azure/Clarify solutions) as a source of "supervised" data to bootstrap your own in-house ML models? I'm pretty sure the TOS would frown upon

What's your usecase for Athena (Really curious how this changes anything)? You can hook your lambda up to a cloudwatch scheduled event ( http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/Sc... ). I

Re: users auth. Isn't that what Cognito is supposed to be? I mean, I don't fully understand it, but I think so. As for the cold boot issue, I thought the standing solution was to have a "fast-exit" ping-like code-path wi

Yeah. Same. Similar thing happened to me when lambda came out. I'm guessing they are still rolling it out to everyone.

Note the 10MB minimum "charge" per Query. For small datasets under 10MB, you'd only get up to 200 Queries for the minimum billable $0.01. That would be a fairly small number of queries, so probably not that useful. Plus you&#

Yeah. I Went from a Galaxy Nexus to a Nexus 6 -> Never understood why people though Nexus's were "affordable" (I think the 4/5 pricing was more the exception rather than the rule).

I'm a millennial that got married at 25. Now, I'm almost 30 and have 2 kids. I can honestly say I'm glad that I'm not any older. Kids take a lot more of your time/energy than you expect, and to wait until you'r

Pro Tip: adding a plus sign to a goo.gl shortlink will tell you where a link goes and some stats about it. https://goo.gl/rqLDfJ+ . Similar for other popular URL shorteners.

OP banks with Wells Fargo, who are by recent accounts, actually crooks. Fair enough question from someone who was recently burned by what appeared to be a "reputable" bank.

I use s3+cloudfront (route53 not strictly necessary, almost any dns host will do). Honestly, its a one-time config and after that its very simple. Cost would be well under $10 unless you've got crazy traffic (Problems I wish I had...)

Yes and no. Support varies by the "app". Currently Netflix/PlayMusic works great with pause/stop, but no support for other buttons (next track, fast forward, rewind, etc...). I mostly just want pause though, so it works
