AWS IAM is designed with a control plane / data plane dichotomy. Even if the control plane is completely dead and all API requests are failing, services in a steady-state (i.e. not responding to changes via API calls) can still rely on IAM roles using their cached information. For example, in the recent us-east-1 outage when you couldn't start new services because IAM checks would fail, existing EC2 instances that rely on IAM instance profiles to access services like S3 could still do so even though IAM was down.
3) Could you hire talent that can build the thing?

In my experience problem number 3 is the hardest to solve.
I don't know enough about reactor control systems to be sure on that one. The idea of a fail-safe system is not that there's an easy way to shut them down, but more that the ways we expect the component parts of a system to fail result in the safe state.

e.g. consider a railway track circuit - this is the way that a signaling system knows whether a particular block of a track is occupied by a train or not. The wheels and axle are conductive so you can measure this electrically by determining whether there's a circuit between the rails or not.

The naive way to do this would be to say something like "OK, we'll apply a voltage to one rail, and if we see a current flowing between the rails we'll say the block is occupied." This is not fail-safe. Say the rail has a small break, or if power is interrupted: no current will flow, so the track always looks unoccupied even if there's a train.

The better way is to say "We'll apply a voltage to one rail, but we'll have the rails connected together in a circuit during normal operation. That will energize a relay which will cause the track to indicate clear. If a train is on the track, then we'll get a short circuit, which will cause the relay to de-energize, indicating the track is occupied."

If the power fails, it shows the track occupied because the relay opens. If the rail develops a crack, the circuit opens, again causing the relay to open and indicate the track is occupied. If the relay fails, then as long as it fails open (which is the predominant failure mode of relays) the track is also indicated as occupied.
>And that won't happen

HA! I had received new 16-bay chasis and all of the drives needed plus cold spares for each chasis. Set them up and started the RAID-5 init on a Friday. Left them running in the rack over the weekend. Returned on Monday to find multiple drives in each chasis had failed. Even with dedicated one of the 16 drives as a hot swap, the volumes would all have failed in an unrecoverable manner.

All drives were purchased at the same time, and happened to all come from a single batch from the manufacture. The manufacture confirmed this via serial numbers, and admitted they had an issue during production. All drives were replaced and at a larger volume size.

TL;DR: Drives will fail, and manufacturing issues happend. Don't buy all of your drives in an array from the same batch! It will happen. To say it won't is just pure inexeperience.
Great project! One thing I'm sure a lot of people would find useful is a "top comments" page that shows what the most popular/ trending topics are.

Or is it possible to find what sort of news articles are the most popular? I often hear both side of the political spectrum saying Facebook is biased. Would be cool to see if it was true.

Why would they say that when

> In an emailed statement to Insider, Black Girls Code's board said that Bryant remains on the company's staff while "serious allegations of workplace impropriety are being investigated."

i.e. they haven't removed her entirely yet?
Yeah. But who will China sell its goods to? Last I checked, Russia has 144M people and EU / US / Japan have 1B+. Of course, China has a large domestic market but exports are still ~20% of GDP for them.
I'm not convinced either way - but why are you convinced that it won't be?
Yeah, but if you actually want to make decisions based on it, then you shouldn't use an unrepresentative average.

Like Ireland (where I live) is far, far closer to the US model than Germany (as an example). EU-level averages disguise such variations, which are useful to understand.
Would you like to challenge the British Geological Survey on their definition of a fossil?

"Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes and rivers."[0]

"A fossil is physical evidence of a prehistoric plant or animal. This may be their preserved remains or other traces, such as marks they made in the ground while they were alive."[1]

The builder interface has important performance benefits over working with lists: similar to e.g. concatenating many small Strings vs using StringBuilder in Java.

The builder interface indeed does not need to be monadic, you can simply append things using <> and get the same benefits.

The monadic interface is purely a syntactic enhancement on top of that, to reduce the number of operators you need.
Yes threat models is obvious qualifier, if you have a business that requires backup on the moon if there asteroid collision then by all means got for it.[1]

For most companies what AWS.or Azure offers is more than adequate.

An internal bad actor with that level of privileged access can delete your local backups or external one can all things you he can do to AWS he can likely do easier to your company storage DC too.

Bottom-line it doesn't matter if customers can pay for all this low probability stuff that can only happen on the cloud and not on Prem sure go ahead. Half the things customers pay for they don't need or use anyway.

"You can always tell a working class person by their teeth, which by their late 30’s will have started falling out." that seems to me a tragedy especially in such a rich country as USA. wonder if its lack of dental cover, or soft drinks , or bit of both?

I wonder about this too.

After using a HiDPI display for the last 3 years I would never willingly go back.

And while I'm no particular fan of larger monitors, it seems that a lot of software just assumes it these days. So I would expect 5K @ 27" and 6K @ 30-some inches to be everywhere these days (I guess 4K @ 24" as well).

I guess it's just a matter of being somewhat too expensive to go mainstream, where either a large screen with lower-res or smaller hires screen is much cheaper and "good enough".
This is great, afaik Google Drive stuff is a nightmare for SoCs as they don't want to block the whole domain.

> It's a logographic language.

You're tongue-in-cheek, presumably, but others were not:

'It is because of the widespread discrepancies noted above that Kono (1969:85) places English in the category of logographic scripts along with Chinese while Zachrisson (1931:5) goes so far as to contend that "English shares with Chinese the doubtful honor of being made up chiefly of ideographs, pictures of words which must be seen and remembered." Both views are wrong, Zachrisson's ridiculously so, since even sight words like "the" and "one" that are often taught to children without regard to "phonics'' are by no stretch of the imagination pictures totally devoid of phonetic clues, as witness th in "the" and n in "one."'

This is from the informative book The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy by John D. Francis.
Echoing this. We had to manually intervene and cut off the faulty AZ because our ASGs kept spinning up instances in it and our load balancers kept sending traffic to bad hosts.

In the past I've seen both of those systems seamlessly handle an AZ failure. Today was different.

The article states that the Dreamcast "fell out of the public eye as the Nintendo 64 was released". Am I missing something here? As far as I know the N64 was released more than two years before the Dreamcast's release. The Dreamcast always felt like it belonged to the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube console generation more than the PS1/N64 generation, although it was released in between generations.

Release dates:

* PlayStation 1: '94/'95
* N64: '96
* Dreamcast: '98/'99
* PlayStation 2: 2000
* XBox: 2001
* GameCube: 2001

> Is that comparison fair? If you have 2 raid-5 mirrored raid 5 boxes in your room and all disks fail at the same time, you should complain. And that won't happen.

There are plenty of situations where this might happen if they’re in your room: a lightning strike can cause a surge that causes the disks to fry, a thief might break in and steal your system, your house might burn down, an earthquake could cause your disks to crash, a flood could destroy the machines, and a sinkhole could open up and swallow your house. You may laugh at some of these as being improbable, but I have seen _all_ of these take out systems between my times in Florida (lightning, thief, sinkhole, and flood) and California (earthquake and house fire).

The fix for this is the same fix as being proposed by the parent post - putting physical space between the two systems so if one place become unavailable you still have a backup.
2 of our servers are fucked right now. VOIP services down.

1) Porting costs are not per game but per engine, which can be shared between multiple games.

2) The majority of costs is ongoing support, not writing to a different API.
One thing you should absolutely not count on, but might be a course of actions for large clients, is to contact support and ask them to restore accidentally / maliciously deleted files.

I would never use this as part of the backup and restore plan; but I was lucky when a bunch of customer files were deleted due to a bug in a release. Something like 100k files were deleted from Google Storage without us having backup. In a panic we contact GCP. We were able to provide a list of all the file names from our logs. In the end, all but 6 files were recovered.

I think it took around 2-3 days to get all the files restored, which was still a big headache and impactful to people.
This seems like a kind of overfitting. The phone itself isn't a problem, at least as concerns the fear machine. On the other hand, staying linked to Facebook is a problem. I make regular daily use of my phone, but the use is limited to:

* Email

* Select communication channels (Slack/Signal/etc)

* Reading books offline (I download them in advance)

* Bus pass

* Flashcards

* A couple of offline ad-free games

I deny push notifications on all apps without exception. If someone needs to get hold of me, they have my number.

With this approach, I feel like my phone is a value-adding tool rather than feeling like it's tethering me to anything I don't want to be part of.
That has never been the case and shouldn't be the case. It's not a court and I don't need any reason or justification to ban someone from my app.
Some load balancers may be having issues but I have multiple busy workloads showing no issues all morning. One big challenge can be that some people reporting multi-AZ issues are shifting traffic and competing with everyone else, while workloads which were already running in the other AZs were fine. It can be really hard to accurately tell how much the problems you’re seeing generalize to everyone else.

I do agree that the end of this year has been a very bad period for AWS. I wonder whether there’s a connection to the pandemic conditions and the current job market – it feels like a lot of teams are running without much slack capacity, which could lead to both mistakes and longer recovery times.

Because the alleged behavior is problematic enough to justify an investigation.

Someone allegedly abusing their power is generally removed from that position temporarily during the investigation. To do otherwise is generally just shitty, but also opening oneself up to liability. You cannot leave an alleged abuser in a place to continue their abuse. There are criminal penalties for that depending on the alleged abuse.

Journalling. If you keep a record of your thoughts and feelings you can always go back and review them.

>Big tech would be if your ban from tinder causes you to lose access to your email, your productivity tools, and your income.

Sure. But for every edge case where virtualisation bridges the gap, there will be containerisation solutions that further the gap too.

Also I’m not really in the mood to engage in a dumb flame war. I’m just answering the question as to why some people favour containers for some workflows. If firecracker works for you then keep at it.
it's way too easy to get around that.
also, having copyrighted content is not illegal. it is legal to make backup copies of something. google has no way of knowing what kind of external agreements a user may have made regarding sharing. they might ban it anyway, but that makes other services who don't ban legal activity attractive.

That was the whole problem. An open "we're researching responses" would've been fine. A murky "we're someone who looks fake talking about nebulous legal consequences" Isn't going to be welcomed anywhere, is it?

This is a better response than I expected, and I wish them luck and success in communicating the lessons they've learned here more widely.
People have used Google Drive for sharing pirated stuffs since forever. Google usually blocks it by restricting downloading instead of removing the file, but people kept finding out new ways to get around that, like making a copy of the file in your own drive, or selecting that file and another one to download so that Google zips up both into one zip file before downloading.

This is not really true. There are plenty of different forms of relativism and plenty of philosophers who have taken a stance in ethics that is consistently anti-realist and published countless papers defending various aspects of that.

It's more or less the same argument as "all climate scientists believe in climate change because they have to or they wouldn't be able to publish anything, therefore we should discount what they say about climate change". Except in this case it's even weaker, because a significant proportion (though a minority) of ethicists take this position.

I would recommend sharing your project with others. When people start using something you make and give you feedback, that is the most motivating thing ever.
