(So, idk if anyone has ordered or seen the Scoops Ahoy costumes from Amazon or whatever, but the shorts for Robin are tight and short. But the shorts for Steve are like the ones seen in the show. Which leads me to this thought…)

Steve’s first day at Scoops Ahoy is… alright?

Actually, it’s pretty miserable.

Scooping ice cream is way harder than it looks. And for some reason he can’t get that perfect rounded shape. It just comes out in pieces that he has to mash into cups and balance on top of cones.

Plus, he’s pretty sure his coworker hates him.

Her name is Robin, and she scowls and dramatically points at her name tag when he asks for it. To make matters worse, they apparently went to high school together, but he doesn’t have the vaguest memory of her. (To be fair, they did not run in the same social circles with her being in band and even theatre and with Steve being “King Steve.”)

But for some reason, she loves to poke fun at him especially when he fails to get any girl’s number. It’s like the Harrington charm radiates through his hair which is blocked by the stupid hat.

But what he really notices only an hour into their eight hour shift is the way she’s tugging at her shorts. She digs her fingers under the elastic band around her thighs as if trying to stretch them out, and she’s constantly trying to pull them down as they begin to ride up.

And really, Steve not trying to perv or anything, but she’s make quite a bit of a fuss with the whole thing, cursing under her breath and obviously really uncomfortable.

So, when the store is fairly empty, Steve turns to her and asks, “Do you want to change shorts with me?”

For the first time, Robin laughs. Loudly. She even snorts at the idea. But her laughter quickly dies down when she realizes Steve isn’t laughing. “Wait, you’re serious?”

Steve shrugs. “Yeah. You look uncomfortable. And hey, I’ve worn way worse to basketball practice, plus I had to wear speedos when I was on the swim team.”

Robin’s nose scrunches up. “Gross.”

Steve puts his hands on his hips and huffs, “Do you want to switch or not?”

She takes a few seconds to stare at Steve, clearly suspicious of an ulterior motive. But then, she curses and starts tugging at elastic band again. “Okay! Fine. But we’re not getting change in the same room.”

Steve rolls his eyes as he heads to the back room. “I wasn’t suggesting that.”

In the end, Steve is left to change in the damn freezer storage area while Robin gets the whole break room. But he doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable, so he sucks it up and doesn’t complain. (Although he really really wants to.)

He waits for her to knock on the door to signal she’s ready, looking down at the shorts. They’re not horrible, but he can understand why Robin was uncomfortable - as they’re already stretching over his ass and thighs while starting to ride up beyond mid thigh.

Even after she knocks, Steve asks, “Ready for me to come out?”

He thinks he hears her laugh about that for some reason before she answers, “Yeah!”

He steps into the room and glances down at her new shorts momentarily before nodding. “Better?”

Robin smiles slightly and nods before heading back out to the main area.

Steve follows behind her. “Hey, they gave me two pairs of these. I can give you the extra pair to wear and keep during our next shift together.”

Robin turns to him and narrows her eyes. “What are you asking for in return?”

“Nothing,” Steve says, eyebrows furrowed. He hopes she understands that he really means it and won’t hold this over her head like an asshole.

She just stares at him for a few seconds before almost wondrously saying, “Huh.”

Luckily, she seems to relax for the first time since their shift started.

After this, the teasing from before has less of an edge to it, but it becomes relentless. Steve almost thinks that maybe this is the start of a wonderful friendship. But Robin would never want that from him.

He only changes his mind about this later when Eddie Munson walks into the store while Steve is cleaning the tables. He accidentally knocks over a napkin and bends over to pick it up, feeling his shorts ride up.

When he stands up, he’s met with a pink faced Munson who stares at him - or rather his ass - with wide eyes.

“See something you want to sample?” Steve asks honestly a bit against his will because it’s part of the Scoops Ahoy greeting. (Only for some reason, he’s unable to get any other part of the greeting out.)

Eddie’s pink face turns red as his eyes snap up to Steve’s. His mouth opens and closes a few times before he quickly breathes out, “I need to leave.”

When the boy practically runs out the store, Steve naturally glances over his shoulder at Robin, trying to gauge if she just saw what he did.

She’s already laughing behind the counter saying between bouts of laughter, “See something you want to sample?”

Steve huffs and feels a blush rise to his cheeks. “Shut up,” he mumbles out, throwing the napkin away before returning behind the counter. “I’m never asking that again.”

But as Robin continues to laugh, Steve can’t help but join in a little, wondering if maybe she would like to be friends and if Eddie will ever come back.

So, maybe his first day wasn’t pretty miserable or just alright. Maybe it was perfect.

Volume Initialization Rate Increases Snapshot Maintenance

Initial Volume Rate

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) now speeds up data transmission from an EBS snapshot, a reliable backup of volumes stored there, to a new EBS volume: Rate of Provisioning for Volume Initialisation in Amazon Elastic Block Store.

With Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialisation, you may create fully working EBS volumes. This speeds up initialising hundreds of volumes and instances. This capability can also swiftly establish and initialise an EBS volume for snapshot recovery. EBS Snapshots let you copy volumes to another AWS account, Availability Zone, or Region. The Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialisation for each volume depends on the snapshot size and volume initialisation rate.

This new capability speeds up volume initialisation by retrieving data from an EBS Snapshot to an EBS volume at a consistent rate between 100 MiB/s and 300 MiB/s. An Amazon S3 snapshot block download rate can be specified as the volume initialisation rate.

Set the volume initialisation rate to create a fully functional volume in a predictable period, improving operational efficiency and offering insight into completion time. Using tools like fio/dd to speed up volume initialisation for processes like application recovery and volume copy for testing and development would minimise the operational strain of handling such scripts with consistency and predictability.

Describe Amazon EBS

Create Amazon EBS storage volumes and connect them to EC2 instances. These volumes can be used as block storage, databases, or file systems once joined. Amazon EBS volumes are automatically copied in an Availability Zone to prevent component failure. High availability and snapshot features are included into all EBS volume types.

Amazon EBS advantages

Scale fast: For mission-critical programs like Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle, scale swiftly.

High performance: io2 Block Express volumes are 99.999% durable and highly available, including replication in AZs, to prevent failures.

Storage and cost: Choose storage that fits your workload. Volumes range from high IOPS and throughput to low dollar-per-GB.

You can encrypt block storage resources without creating, managing, or protecting your own key management system. Limit public access and lock data backups to protect your data.

Simple data protection: Amazon EBS Snapshots, a point-in-time copy, may secure block storage data on-premises and in the cloud, aid disaster recovery, migrate data between regions and accounts, and improve backup compliance. AWS simplifies snapshot lifespan management with Amazon Data lifetime Manager, which lets you automate snapshot production, deletion, retention, and sharing.

Start by setting volume initialisation rate

You can build your volume from the snapshot or choose the initialisation rate when you create your EC2 instance.

Volume creation in EC2 launch wizard

You may set the volume initialisation rate for new EC2 instances under the Storage (volumes) section of the launch wizard.

You may set the volume initialisation rate while generating and updating EC2 Launch Templates.

Block device mappings can contain VolumeInitializationRate in AWS CLI run-instances.

Snapshot-based volume creation

Choose Create volume and configure the Volume initialisation rate in the EC2 interface to create a snapshot-based volume.

You may use VolumeInitializationRate in the AWS CLI and create-volume command.

You may define the volume initialisation rate when provisioning EBS volumes and replacing Amazon EC2 instance root volumes with the EBS Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver.

EBS will monitor the hydration status after generating the volume and send an Amazon Event Bridge message to your account when it is complete to ensure volume performance.

Now available

Now, all EBS volume types may use the Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialisation. Your price depends on the snapshot size and volume initialisation rate. Visit Amazon EBS Pricing for more.

Learn about Amazon EBS, including this feature, in the free online AWS Skill Builder course. Use cases, architecture diagrams, and examples included in the course.

The Technology Powering Instant Cash Advance Apps: Speed, Security, and APIs

In today's fast-paced digital world, consumers expect immediate access to services, and finance is no exception. The rise of instant cash advance apps reflects this demand, offering quick financial relief directly through smartphones. But what's the technology stack that makes these near-instantaneous transactions possible? It's a complex interplay of real-time payment networks, robust APIs, cloud infrastructure, and sophisticated security measures.

The Need for Speed: Why Instant Access Matters

The expectation for instant gratification has permeated consumer behavior. When facing unexpected expenses, waiting days for funds to clear is often impractical. Financial institutions and fintech innovators recognized this gap, leading to solutions designed for speed and convenience. Instant cash advance apps leverage technology to meet this critical user need, providing access to funds within minutes in many cases. This immediacy requires a seamless and highly efficient backend infrastructure.

Core Technologies Enabling Instant Transfers

Several key technologies underpin the functionality of instant cash advance applications. Understanding these components is crucial for appreciating both the capabilities and the challenges involved in building and maintaining these services.

Real-Time Payment Networks (RTP)

Traditional bank transfers (ACH) can take several business days. Modern instant finance apps often utilize newer rails like The Clearing House's RTP® network or similar real-time systems. These networks operate 24/7/365, enabling payment processing and settlement in seconds, forming the backbone of instant transfer capabilities. Implementing RTP requires significant integration effort but provides a vastly superior user experience.

Secure API Integrations

To assess eligibility and facilitate transfers, apps need secure access to users' bank account information. This is typically achieved through APIs provided by financial data aggregators like Plaid. These APIs act as secure intermediaries, allowing apps to verify account details, check balances, and initiate transfers without storing sensitive login credentials, thus enhancing security and user trust. Developers must carefully manage API keys and data handling protocols.

Scalable Cloud Infrastructure

Handling fluctuating demand and ensuring high availability requires a robust and scalable infrastructure. Most fintech apps rely on cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure. These platforms provide the necessary computing power, storage, and network capabilities to process transactions quickly and reliably, scaling resources up or down based on real-time user activity. This elasticity is vital for maintaining performance during peak times.

Security and Compliance: Non-Negotiables in Fintech

Moving money instantly introduces significant security challenges, primarily concerning fraud prevention and data protection.

Advanced Fraud Prevention

Instant transactions leave little room for manual review, necessitating automated fraud detection systems. Many apps employ machine learning algorithms to analyze transaction patterns, user behavior, and device information in real-time to identify and block potentially fraudulent activities. Continuous monitoring and model refinement are essential to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Data Protection and Compliance

Protecting sensitive user data is paramount. Apps must adhere to strict data security standards, such as those outlined by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI DSS) for handling cardholder data. Implementing end-to-end encryption, secure authentication methods, and regular security audits are critical components of a trustworthy financial application. Compliance ensures user data is handled responsibly.

Comparing App Models and User Experience

While the underlying technology shares similarities, the business models and user experiences of fee-free instant cash advance apps can vary significantly. Some apps charge subscription fees, interest, or expedite fees for faster transfers. Others adopt different revenue models. For developers and consumers alike, understanding these differences is key. Exploring resources that compare instant cash advance apps can provide valuable insights into features, costs, and transfer speeds.

One alternative approach is seen with apps like Gerald, which offers fee-free cash advances and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options. Gerald generates revenue through partnerships when users shop within its ecosystem, allowing it to forgo typical service fees. To access a fee-free cash advance transfer, users first need to utilize a BNPL advance. For users with supported banks, Gerald even offers instant transfers at no extra cost, showcasing how technology can enable innovative, user-centric financial models.

The Future of Instant Finance Tech

The technology behind instant cash advance apps continues to evolve. We can expect further integration of AI for personalization and risk assessment, broader adoption of real-time payment networks, and enhanced security measures like biometric authentication. As developers push the boundaries, the goal remains to provide faster, safer, and more accessible financial tools.

Graviton4 processor innovations

New Amazon EC2 instances with NVMe SSD local storage and AWS Graviton4 processors offer enhanced performance and functionality thanks to many technological advances. Among them:

Improved computation performance: Graviton4-based instances outperform AWS Graviton3-based instances by 30%.

They perform 40% better than Graviton3 in I/O-intensive database workloads.

Faster data analytics: These instances beat Graviton3-based instances by 20% in I/O-intensive real-time data analytics query results.

New instances provide up to 192 vCPUs, three times more, and larger instance sizes.

Up to 1.5 TiB more RAM than Graviton3-based versions.

Instances have three times the local storage (up to 11.4TB of NVMe SSD storage). Performance is considerably improved with NVMe-based SSD local storage.

Based on Graviton3, memory bandwidth is 75% higher than predecessors.

Instances have double the L2 cache compared to the previous generation.

Their 50 Gbps network capacity is a significant improvement over Graviton3 instances.

Increased Amazon EBS capacity: Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps is another enhancement.

Adjustable bandwidth allocation: EC2 instance bandwidth weighting now lets customers alter network and Amazon EBS capacity by up to 25%, increasing flexibility.

Two bare metal sizes—metal-24xl and metal-48xl—allow direct access to physical resources and aid with specific workloads.

These instances, built on the AWS Nitro System, offload networking, storage, and CPU virtualisation to specialist hardware and software to boost speed and security.

All Graviton4 CPUs' high-speed physical hardware interfaces are encrypted for added protection.

The AWS Graviton4-based instances are ideal for containerised and micro-services-based applications, as well as applications written in popular programming languages and storage-intensive Linux workloads. Compared to Graviton3, Graviton4 processors execute web apps, databases, and large Java programs faster.

AWS Graviton4 processors and instance architecture improvements enable performance and new capabilities for many cloud applications.

Specifications for instances

Instances in metal-24xl and metal-48xl bare metal sizes start workloads that demand direct physical resource access and scale properly. The AWS Nitro System, which powers these instances, offloads networking, storage, and CPU virtualisation to dedicated hardware and software to increase workload security and performance. All of Graviton4 processors' high-speed physical hardware interfaces are encrypted, increasing security.
