I have spent most of my career in newspaper publishing and banking. A newspaper that doesn't publish for a few days might recover. A bank that drops off the Swift network for days isn't a bank any more.

This is why the primary bank regulator in Australia (APRA) have insistent that banks meet their CPS230 obligations by being multicloud. There's a lot of push back on it (especially from AWS), but it's a significant risk if you&#x2

If you really think that the only reason people use iPhones is iMessage then you are completely detached from reality.

Google don't want to "break the iMessage stronghold". They want to crack open Apple customers' messaging so they can feed it into their advertising systems. WhatsApp is useless to Google for that.

AIX is big endian but: "SUSE's Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) offers SLES 12 on Power in little endian mode only. As such, customers will need to migrate from big to little endian as they upgrade from SLES 11 to SLES 12." -

In my optimistic moments, I think that. In my realistic moments I think that we will rewrite medical law, banking law, and privacy law and so on to accomodate the shitty AI children of billionaires. Misdiagnosed by "AI"? Too bad.
