One feature of Amazon Music allows users to upload their own MP3 files from other sources, but that service is shutting down over the next year or so. According to a help page on Amazon's website, the company will end its Amazon Music Storage subscription service in January 2019. An official date hasn't been released, but once the storage service ends, users won't be able to play or download MP3s they previously uploaded.
This feature (combined with such mp3s not counting against my general purpose storage quota) was the main reason I signed up for Amazon's cloud backup service years ago.
With it going away they'll be losing my custom.
The only question is if Google or Microsoft's current offerings suck less. All things equal, it'll probably be Google getting my money since they've never gone on a campaign to destroy good will like MS did when slashing one drive quotas a few years ago.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Canonical has halted downloads of Ubuntu Linux 17.10, aka Artful Aardvark, from its website after punters complained installing the open-source OS on laptops knackered the machines. That would be an 'open' oops

It’s hard to measure programming languages’ popularity but we all love rankings and sometimes even choose our “weapon of choice” depending on how desired a language is. What does that have to do with health? Let’s find out. Because I know you all love 'language popularity' stories
Bonus for amusement - add "Visual Basic" to the chart, and get the paddles ready.

Machine learning computer systems, which get better with experience, are poised to transform the economy much as steam engines and electricity have in the past. They can outperform people in a number of tasks, though they are unlikely to replace people in all jobs. "Fore I'll let your steam drill beat me down I'm gonna hammer myself to death"

There are a lot of Journalist and Content Writer Jobs being generated due to these new paradigm shifts and buzz words. Also in the area of fake news.. god knows if 10 years down the line you wake up and you don't find any robots on the streets and you still have to work to eat !!! quite a disappointment.

The Long Island Ice Tea Corporation is exactly what it sounds like: a company that sells people bottled iced tea and lemonade. But today the company announced a significant change of strategy that would start with changing its name to "Long Blockchain Corporation."

Researchers have designed a memory device based on atomically thin semiconductors and demonstrated that, in addition to exhibiting a good performance in general, the memory can also be fully erased with light, without any electrical assistance. All my work was done, you made the mistake of exposing it to light and it was erased

There’s a lot to know about each of these points, though, and they are key points when one looks at how to become a better software developer. I'm aware that I understand responsibility. Does that count?

I'm aware and understand that when something goes wrong, I'm responsible. Although last week I got in trouble for something I didn't even do....my work.
