Ah ok, that's what caused it. Well, that's fine but there is probably an aggregate several 100 years worth of experience in this thread that seems to be in violent agreement on you not really understanding the matter under consideration.

If you present yourself as a representative or founder of a company here then by extension you represent the views of that company unless otherwise noted. If you don't want that then you are free to make another account which is not in any way associated with your professional HN profile, it wasn't me that made the choice to join the two, you did (as do many other people here). But most of us are careful to speak in such a way that we do not bring our partners or employers trouble by drawing attention to either our lack of knowledge or ability or by making statements that would - when viewed in the light of our professional engagements - show our employers in a bad light.
So, whether or not you agree with me is besides the point. If you feel like totally mis-interpreting Jasons writings and on top of that you call me 'alarmist' you are actively attacking our professional reputations, and what goes around comes around.
You are misunderstanding me( I know sit seems to be a common pattern for you) whether I stand behind what I say is totally separate concept from your motivations and how they reflect on you as a person. The quality of my technical reputation is not in question here and my employer is welcome to read this thread.
I didn't call you an "alarmist" I said worrying about whether amazon will stay in business, "get hacked", or if S3 is going to disappear without warning is "alarmism" They were responsible for 39% of all commercial internet transactions last year and store 2,000,000,000,000 objects. If they go under we are are all in a heap of trouble. A NAS device in some remote part of the netherlands isn't going to save us.

Then maybe you should write a bit more clearly. The opening line of this whole thread is you quoting a single line out of context, stating you disagree with it, then providing evidence that you probably should agree with it and that in fact you act contrary to your stated position. To me that makes no sense at all.
> whether I stand behind what I say is totally separate concept from your motivations and how they reflect on you as a person.
That's another thing I can't make sense of. Probably my fault.
> The quality of my technical reputation is not in question here and my employer is welcome to read this thread.
Excellent.
> I didn't call you an "alarmist" I said worrying about whether amazon will stay in business, "get hacked", or if S3 is going to disappear without warning is "alarmism"
I never suggested Amazon would go out of business, you made that up all by your lonesome. What I wrote is that your control panel could get hacked which is an entirely different thing.
I never suggested S3 would disappear.
I also never suggested that Amazon (the company) would get hacked.
Even so, there is a remote possibility that all of the above (which you just came up with) would become true at some point in the future. But I purposefully did not allude to any of those because the chances of those happening are remote enough that for me they don't count as reasons to have a back-up.
> They were responsible for 39% of all commercial internet transactions last year
Who cares.
> and store 2,000,000,000,000 objects.
Doesn't enter into the equation at all.
> If they go under we are are all in a heap of trouble.
Well, you probably will be.
> A NAS device in some remote part of the netherlands isn't going to save us.
NL is small enough that we don't really have remote parts. Besides, none of those situations are the ones that I wrote about in my original comment. You really have a hard time in the understanding department, first with the original posting, subsequently with my comment on yours and further on with several other people in this thread.
When you feel everybody is acting weird or seems to be unable to understand what you are saying: consider the problem is at least partially on your own end.
