As Amazon lays off another 16,000 employees, this is a useful read on AWS today; they’re catching up in AI, and Google Cloud’s rise looks more threatening than Azure’s “growth,” which feels like financial engineering.
Big risk is institutional knowledge walking out the door from all the layoffs.

Storms like the one that threatened much of the U.S. last weekend can test a region’s infrastructure—and workers’ ability to respond, Nancy Walecki reports. One expert told her that people should think of this as “preparing for a hurricane—except it’s ice.”
Winter Ice Could Humble the United States

How Paul Feig’s ‘The Housemaid’ Became a $300 Million Box Office Wonder When No One Was Looking
Heading into the year-end holiday season, very few in Hollywood were focused on director Paul Feig’s The Housemaid, save for the social backlash engulfing star Sydney Sweeney over her American Eagle jeans ad. The in-demand young actress stars opposite Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar in the adaptation of Freida McFadden’s best-selling book of the same name.
