Hi Steve, small correction (I think): From what I know, AWS doesn’t make up more than half of Amazon’s revenue, rather it makes up more than half of Amazon’s profits. A bit of a nitpick, but it is an important distinction.

I was really confused when I first saw Tom's video, because it just so happened that I saw it mere seconds after he uploaded, so it said "this video has 2 views" and then I clicked on it, and sure enough, it had 2 views, so I was like "oh my god, he's found an exploit/vulnerability in the way youtube handles view counts that lets you freeze the view counter at 2 views or maybe at whatever number you choose!". But then of course as I watched it I realised I was just unusually early for once

[@missl1775]

I just updated the like count because the idea of writing code to have your watch tell you about the arrival times of the nearby busses is amazing. I wish I had the brains for that. Instead I have a knowledge of how far I can run when I'm late versus when I'm really late and need to head to a further stop to catch the express. (I now have an app that helps me with the bus timings, and I remember to check it. But the watch code... that's just genius.)

It's interesting that Amazon's directive did what I'm essentially trying to do at my work. Investing time to cut routine process time. A lean process saves time every time it's used, meaning the more routine a process is, the greater your ROI on Process Improvement. It's very satisfying getting one done, because you know that every time you have to do something in the future it will take less time and probably less effort. In industry this is called Lean Manufacturing and it is known by how you go about it, 5S. Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain. It appears Amazon conducted this on an electronic procedural level as well as in their warehouses

Just a small correction: You say that an API call is "most likely, over the internet" but the number of API calls not made over the internet dwarfs internet API calls simply due to that fact that one internet API call requires several local API calls to make..

[@SteveMould]

That's a good point!

[@kebien6020]

When talking in the "internet" kind of context people tend to use the term API to refer specifically to APIs over HTTP (REST, graphQL and whatnot). But in the strict sense of the word an API is just a group of "actions" that one program makes available for others to use. Over whatever communication protocol. It is also used in practice to refer to local inter-program communication. If you search for WINAPI you will find that it is a bunch of functions, available to be called using the C language calling convention for making things like opening windows, writing text onto them, adding buttons, etc. This is a good example of the term API being used to refer to something that is not related to the internet at all. There is also "microservice architectures" where you make an HTTP API call over the internet and that server makes a bunch of HTTP API calls over a local network to other servers to get the information needed to process your request before sending a response back to you. These internal calls use TCP, HTTP, network connections, etc, just like an HTTP API call over the internet but they aren't actually using the internet. Edit: formatting

Interestingly I get totally different thumbnails for your video everytime I open my subscription feed. I first got a thumbnail with about 7k views and then a thumbnail with about 4k views.

[@jlwasmer]

A few notes: - even if the # of likes is abbreviated, one can hover on it and see the full number - views needs stronger validation because it's the currency for getting paid (i.e. there a direct financial impact) - technically what Tom and you talk about are not APIs. API is an interface at the source code level (e.g. libraries). What you guys talk about are interfaces at the web service level, a better term is "communication protocol"... and I know, everyone makes the mistake.

OMG Steve you're using Java Script. Welcome to my neck of the woods. Also, fun programming fact, that block of text is in JSON format.

There was a neat story about sellers on Amazon and their programmable listings: someone noticed the used cost of a book slowly but steadily increasing to infinity. When they looked into it, they found there were two sellers, one pricing the book, say, 2% under the max price and the other one pricing it, say, 5% above the max price. So, there was a stair step effect of the price changing regularly every day and each seller causing the other to adjust, eventually driving the price insanely high.

You guys are the best. It's so beautiful that there's such a thriving educational corner of KZbin. It warms my heart, and gives me hope in humanity.

And we should be terrified about how much is hosted through Amazon these days. I know I get nervous when I think about it.

Like and title matched . It's a miracle.

Tom Scott, Davie, and now Steve Mould. Well done

Thumbnail was actually spot on for me :D

Under the silly thumbnail and title is a genuinely great tech vidro
