This was a haphazard, poorly planned outage. Similarly to planning for an outage on a website used by millions of people and businesses, communication, status updates and minimizing disruptions are key. I'm surprised no one at PGE thou

I don't think Tesla is in real danger of going bankrupt. Investors are going to continue to throw money at their bond offerings and Tesla itself is close to becoming profitable. Much of it hinges on China where it's built a factor

Not to mention the people in China are pretty nationalistic and are on the side of the government when it comes to the situation in HK, so the response from the people in China and the CBA is not surprising.

I do think there are some merits to VR (a better gaming experience) but framing VR as a new worldly experience feels wrong to me. There are some arguments for Horizon being beneficial for people whose lives aren't great and they get to

It's not hard to do what they did, so I'm not surprised they did it themselves. It's just simple async queue processing, and doesn't really need a lot of sophistication, especially at just 1M notifications per hour. Now

Shopify as a platform isn't that slow. Much of what caused the performance issue on their site is due to scripts and apps that they install that slow down the storefront and don't adhere to best practices when it comes to page spe

I think you're approaching it from the wrong POV. First of all, the option needs to be on the site owner/developer side on whether to adopt AMP or not - and not have the decision of not adopting AMP adversely affect search ranking

It's not just the API docs that are copied, but the API structure itself. Then again, the examples shown in the article are just OAuth flows, which are a standard and docs are going to look similar regardless. But I totally agree with
