Building multiple diverse paths and monitoring for fiber cuts is not hard. Having 2 fiber paths is insufficient for even only moderately important workloads at a tech company. Overlapping fiber cuts happen. For something with significant

You certainly don’t need to run this over public Internet to get resiliency over multiple paths.

If they don't have the problems that other people are having...maybe they don't need that complexity. Different use cases can use different solutions. An Army unit crossing rocky and muddy terrain might want tracked vehicles and

I wasn't directly involved, but working in a couple of shops that used GH, I think they really steered people away from GHE, my impression was it's a product they don't really want to support - I vaguely recall hearing that u

Ah sounds like you actually might have been there. I'm sure you must have some interesting stories from that time

I'm not sure if it was entirely true, but there are stories that after Microsoft bought Hotmail in the mid-90's, they quickly attempted to move them from FreeBSD (?) to Windows NT. But it failed miserably, and they went back to t

If you can't trust them to follow the very easy directions of "throw away the single use syringe", how likely is it that they are going to follow the much more complicated process of properly sanitizing the glass syringe?

In the mid-2000's I briefly worked for a company that did this at a firmware level ("write-blocked firmware") for USB drive adapters (IDE / SATA / whatever IDE variant laptops were using / etc). This was appar

This is my opinion only, I'm sure some have had different experiences - but: Azure's success as a cloud provider is mostly a result of their sales team and having an existing relationship with non-technical leadership. "We a

Everyone agrees their community and moderators turned toxic. But why? Was it inevitable that people would turn bitter / jaded after answering questions for years? Was it wrong incentives from StackOverflow itself? The outside tech

Why should people in the nice dense efficient area subsidize everyone else via PG&E? Pay your fair share.

I wouldn't consider myself anti-transit - before Covid I took BART every work day and currently walk to my office. And have never regularly commuted by car in the Bay Area. But in SF, we seem to keep throwing money at transit orgs th

Visiting one with a probe would surely be amazing in it's own right...but hitching a ride would mean matching velocities with them. And if you can do that...you're already in the same orbit, so the comet doesn't really help.

Seem like sensible changes, though more is still needed. Requiring H1B holders to leave the country to renew paperwork is an insane anachronism. The per-country caps also seem like a throwback to the early 1900's era immigration excl
