Conservatives want to cut taxes to force liberals to cut spending. Liberals want to increase spending to force the conservatives to increase taxes. But voters don't like increased taxes (on themselves) or decreased spending. So we end

Gateway timeout, 504 host error. I can't access the article about an outage because of an outage. Reliability is hard, apparently.

My company has been ahead of all of this by causing outages in our own data center without waiting for the cloud to do it for them. On a serious note, resiliency takes effort and investment no matter where you host your content.

The article compares 2025 prices to 2019 prices. We've had high inflation building upon high inflation for the past several years, so I'm not shocked that prices are higher. We might as well ask where the $1 menu went at fast food

I suppose your target audience knows what “bending” means, but I had to google it after visiting your site. Maybe a sentence or two on your site explaining what bending is, or a demonstration on your intro video, would be helpful.

I don't think transparency requires additional bureaucracy. I would also be a fan of removing requirements that the NSF align its mission with whichever political party is in power.
