Testing people outages is a good thing for any team or organization. I always look at multi-week holidays as an opportunity to identify knowledge / skills / activities that I (or another person) provide(s) cover for. None of us wi

Every major outage when I worked at Google caused stock price to increase for this exact reason. IT is always considered a cost until execs realize its critical to the company's existence. Keeping the lights on always seems to be under

Recent experience for a large stadiums event suggests they have fixed the notifications. I got a lot of notifications encouraging me to a) charge my phone and b) download the ticket before arrival.

Depends on the departure and arrival city. It is common for ID to be checked at the gate for international flights because airlines are held responsible for transporting passengers that don't have the correct paperwork / visitor p

I'm less than 50 and remember 5-digit numbers being the norm in the 80s. 3 digit might have still been around in the 70s iirc.
