Nearly a third of the internet running on Amazon Web Services hit pause Monday morning. A glitch in the AWS's database network led to a widespread outage that disrupted everything from Reddit and Snapchat to Coinbase and the Starbucks app for a couple of hours. AWS said that the...

Former Labour Cllr Tom Butcher on why he's defected to the Green Party Tom Butcher "We have to be able to stand up and champion the causes - social justice, environmental challenges - that we face" "We need to be bold, loud, confident" "I found myself over a number of months disenfranchised by Labour, the direction of travel is not what I was expecting" "It wasn't what I stood on, or what the Labour Party promised" "I don't feel that m values have changed, I have stood true and consistent on those, it's the Labour Party that has changed" "When a leader like Zack comes along and brings that message of hope and champions those causes boldly, that's something I can get behind" "I'm glad we're bringing hope, trust and transparency back into politics" "Fighting for social justice and the environment, Labour isn't going far enough on those things" "In Swindon adult and children social care occupies 85% of the budget, that leaves 15% for the rest of services" "When you speak to the average person on the street who asks why they are paying more and more council tax and get less and less quality of services that is why" "Labour know that, they said that in the general election, they stood on the promise of a national care service and local government reforms, neither of those have been forthcoming" "Swindon needs to be in a much more sustainable position with their finances" "That isn't to say to remove the adult and child social care services. We need a more cost effective way to to deliver that" "A lot of those costs are high because of the privatisation within the adult care services. The council needs to go further and faster in removing themselves from having to use those privatised services so much"

Jeff Bezos explains Amazon’s process for expanding into new products like Kindle and AWS “I would definitely advise a small startup company to be as narrow and as focused as is possible to be. If you look at the original Amazon business plan, there was no hint of anything other than books in it… I wanted to build an online bookstore, and that was it.” But the online bookstore worked better than they thought it would. So Amazon launched music, and that worked better than they thought. Then video, and that worked too. So Jeff sent an email to customers: “I picked about 1,000 customers and I said, besides the things we sell today - books, music, and video - what would you like to see us sell? And the list came back incredibly long-tailed… So it’s been kind of one foot in front of the other.” As Jeff explains, Amazon expands into new businesses in two ways: “One is from a customer need. We will work from a customer need to the skills that we need. And the other one is skills forward: from a skillset we have to a new set of customers.” Kindle is an example of a customer need - Amazon had no hardware team at the time, but to make sure they didn’t miss the transition to ebooks, they built one. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is an example of skills-forward: “We had probably more distributed computing expertise than anybody else in the world because of transactions. Transaction systems are so complicated and hard to build, and we had a service-oriented architecture of great complexity - probably before anybody else. Because we were doing that, we could see the future a little bit and decided to build AWS, which has turned into a huge business in its own right.” Jeff concludes: “Business is very situational. Rules of thumb are good, but they have to be applied to the right situation. Sometimes the old maxim that you should stick to the knitting is correct, but sometimes it’s wrong. And a senior leader’s job is to figure out: Which situation are you in?” Video source: Business Insider (2014)
