I remember the fate of Iraq's WMD (chemical) -- they denied inspectors, blatantly lied on the reports for many years. It was all way too suspicious, but their biggest trick was that when UN approved a military intervention, no WMDs wer

The most common cause of the outages right now is configuration errors. Even when procedurally they must be limited to AZ only, there is always some region-shared infrastructure that can bring down the whole region altogether.

I know a similar precedent from Belarus, an Eastern European country. The population is way smaller, and their main problem is Moscow in the east, but it's the same sentiment -- please bomb us as we cannot throw out this regime ourselv

The main point of having nukes is not using them. The moment one uses them -- they lost. Nukes are good as a deterrent, not good as a weapon.

And not a word about racism. Munich is notorious on that (among Europe only).

Or introduce a corporate rule to make everything public, if restricting didn't work anyways.

Why doesn't the New York police free him? Seems like New York gov does not want to really do anything besides statements in newspapers. Similar to currently popular grilling of appointed bureaucrats by Congress -- looks harsh and stron

I swear psilocybin affects the sense of importance, sacredness, meaningfulness. One can be staring at the most boring thing and see the Universe in it. Doesn't mean there's really anything important nor useful in it. Just like a s

> Fused silica (glass) is a really good insulator (500 MV/m, vs 150 MV/mm for XLPE plastic) 500 MV/m is 0.5 MV/mm, so it's 300x worse insulator than XLPE plastic per article. Would be a bummer if we build the wo

Just note that aggregations like that might manifest as GCP didn't have any issues today actually. E.g. it was mostly us-central1 region affected, and in there only some services (e.g. regular instances, and GKE kubernetes were not aff

Duo Mobile at least make it two clicks (on Android at least). So a distracted user would likely to swipe off the notification, instead of tapping through and clicking "Yes, it is me" on the next screen.

There's always a partial outage in large systems, some very small percentage. All clouds should report all red then.

With highly distributed services there's always something failing, some small percentage.

It's like producing weapons versus using them. Just instead of "weapons" we have "spyware tools".

Why would I fine honest law-abiding willing to work people, who only want to raise our GDP and pay taxes? I saw them, worked with them, so don't tell me they all criminals or lazy. "Legal" or "illegal" is just a lab

And repealing the immunity. I think that's a pretty obvious path. It's not like "immunity" is set in stone forever.

Autocrats don't believe in immunity -- they instated it, and they understand others can repeal it at any time later. Case study -- Kazakhstan leader, Nazarbayev introduced all kinds of immunities before leaving. Didn't help later,

That's how dictatorship started in Belarus: a democratically elected president started violating the Constitution, and parlamentaries (aka congressmen) prepared the impeachment. Most active ones suddenly disappeared, those who proteste

On grand scale -- it's possible. But try to live in harmony in a shared space with a wild fox or a wolf. Not good for you, not for the sentient creatures.

One upside is Japan having a large undersea hydrogen deposits. And those deposits are not going anywhere. But personally I agree it's perfect for, say, urban trains, with predictable maintenance. But if Japan keeps investing we may see
