I read Adam Tooze's Chart Book[1] and it's become the only source of information I really need to understand general macroeconomics and how it relates to the events of the world. 1: https://adamtooze.substack.com/

They've added a dozen or so more as potentially down now. Anything that uses IAM, which I suspect is the core of the issue.

It appears to be an outage in IAM which is trickling down to every service which relies on IAM auth.

So many keywords and not a lot of info about what this actually does. I am feeling more and more that most AI stuff being funded now is just crypto 2.0.

Loki is open source. OP should take some of that frustrated energy and create a PR to improve the docs. I don't think this is a matter of Grafana Inc not wanting people to run Loki themselves but rather a resource constraints issue.

It's fairly well accepted that working out with heavy weights temporarily increases free testosterone. I wonder if that's the mechanism or it's something else entirely.

I didn't post about it...I commented on another relevant post around the time it happened. I don't think previous comments really require disclosure. It really seems like you are phishing for something here.

I was trying to escalate via internal contacts and waiting to hear back is all. Once I heard back that even someone internal was unable to help I figured I'd just post a reminder for everyone here.

Correct. They provided no way to appeal, but I had escalated internally via a friend of a friend who worked there. I was waiting for their response, and just heard back that even someone working there was unable to get in touch with the tea

Thanks for this. I won't be using PayPal ever again but hopefully it can help someone in need.

Sounds like par for the course.

Well it seems like I don't even have that option anymore. Thankfully I don't need them anyway it's just a minor inconvenience. But I wanted to warn others who may be put in a bad situation.

I'm sure it's possible, but they probably count on having more money for lawyers than most of their customers.

The email I got said my funds would be held for 180 days after which they may be released at PayPals discretion. I am guessing their discretion almost never releases the funds. Thankfully I had no funds in PayPal since I had always heard th

It's just algorithms out of control all the way down. They are probably ok with some number of false positives, but they don't account for how much these situations erode customer trust across the board.

It asks for an email without explaining how it even works. I gave it a burner and then it immediately starts asking for all the contact info of everyone I want to stay in touch with. Pretty sure this is a data farming scam. It has no data p

Wow what a great original idea. Let's just turn the whole city into an unlivable hellscape like the Tenderloin!

by ciguy 4y ago
No, the city is a notoriously high tax, hostile and bureaucratic hellscape when it comes to running any kind of business. Just because they are corrupt and hand out a few token tax breaks to their richest cronies doesn't make them busi

The city seems to be at it's most lively since covid, but the offices are still empty. Before covid SF actively did it's best to antagonize the companies who's tax revenue it relied on. Now that they've taken their ball

I was recently banned from Paypal for life, with no reason given. I have literally used PayPal for over a decade, usually once or twice a year to pay family or friends back from something small. I have heard all the horror stories so I inte

DevOps has lost all meaning as the first paragraph in the article says. Anything it says after that is just semantics. Everyone is doing it on some level, but what that means to each company differs widely.

My current company has been having a lot of success with Dagster. It seems to give a lot more flexibility thanAirflow in terms of defining the pipeline and where to run it. It's also a bit friendlier when things fail and need to be bac
