> Yet similar logic could be used to say that papyrus scrolls burned to a crisp would be unreadable.

We also know what papyrus scrolls look like, know what they were used for, and have a lot of examples of writing from that time period and place we can use to actively search for more, similar data. If you think about the mechanical process that must take place and the materials that they had at hand to record audio the chances of this happening accidentally in a way we could know how to read or look there without having witnessed the production of the audio to begin with are just staggeringly low.

But, of course, I would love for this to be possible too, and I also imagine there's some really interesting stuff out there if one knows just where to look and how to read it. I had considered glass before as it's perturbed by the air as it's blown and holds its form well very quickly as it cools. But I wouldn't know the first thing of how to read that, and blown glass is much more delicate and rarely survives.
That’s not true for all types of companies.

> I wonder if those same insurance policies are going to pay out due to the losses from this event?

They absolutely should be liable for the losses, in each case where they caused it.

(Which is most of them. Most companies install crowdstrike because their auditor want it and their insurance company says they must do whatever the auditor wants. Companies don't generally install crowdstrike out of their own desire.)

But of course they will not pay a single penny. Laws need to change for insurance companies, auditors and crowdstrike to be liable for all these damages. That will never happen.

The issue appears to be unique to Southwest, which handles in-flight beverages differently than other airlines.

It does its own provisioning and doesn’t handle perishables, since it does not serve meals during flights. The company is now testing out trucks with air-conditioned cargo areas in Phoenix and Las Vegas.

From TFA.

That is: Southwest handles its own catering and uses un-chilled ground transport. The cans are getting hot on the ground, probably before being loaded onto aircraft, and burst as cabin pressure falls during ascent.

The gas ganisters would be too heavy. A better payload is razor blades / needles coated in some potent venom poison, like tetrodotoxin ricin or cone snail toxins. Launch 1000 of these drones and you can kill an army in no time.
I think it's already hot from being on the ground without air conditioning so the pressure inside the can is already elevated. And then when the plane gets to cruising altitude, the cabin is at the equivalent of 8000 ft (~2350m) so the pressure differential between the inside of the can causes it to burst.
Maybe you want your lift to be able to diagnose itself. Tell possible faults, instead of spending man hours on troubleshooting every part each time downtime included. With big lifts there are many parts that could go wrong. Being able to identify which one saves lot of time and time is money.

These sort of outages are actually extremely rare nowadays. Considering how long these control systems have been kept around must mean that they are not actually causing that many issue that replacing them would be worth it.

Yes, it does have hardware offload, but that works better in theory than it does in practice. (For doing line-rate NAT with more than a handful of clients, it's not an option, mostly because of the state table limits already mentioned in a sibling comment).

"Will the hardware offload actually do anything useful?" is a time-honored Mikrotik game: see the sometimes surprising limits at https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/L3+Hardware+Offlo...
The problem is that the vDSO (which is compiled as part of the kernel but runs in userspace) does a stack probe for security reasons, trying to see if it will overrun the stack. It does this by checking if at least a page’s worth of data is accessible. If not, it will (typically) fault. However, Go programs use a stack size so small that they may have other data a page away, which means the problem may mess with that data and cause bad things to happen.
If anything the Russian invasion of Ukraine diverted attention away from climate change to defence. Look at how many countries in Europe took the opportunity to cut climate progressive policies to reduce fuel prices during the price crunch after the invasion. The prices were temporarily inflated, and affected groups could have been supported by other means, but instead green policies were targeted and you bet they will not be re-introduced any time soon.

> One mistake doesn’t mean they are completely incompetent.

They are completely incompetent because for something as critical as crowdstrike code, you must build so many layers of validation that one, two or three mistakes don't matter because they will be caught before the code ends up in a customer system.

Looks like they have so little validation that one mistake (which is by itself totally normal) can end up bricking large parts of the economy without ever being caught. Which is neither normal nor competent.

The biggest advantage of Vulkan is that there are games relying on Vulkan, which means GPU drivers have to play nice with it. My impression is that OpenCL is borderline unsupported. In fact, there is an effort to reimplement OpenCL on top of Vulkan because the drivers are just that shit.

It's not a SwitchOS (which can and should be ignored) versus RouterOS issue, more that Mikrotik is limited by the capabilities of the off-the-shelf switching SoCs they have to use due to their size.

Once you run into limitations there (which can already be due to something like "needing to use VLANs"), it's all CPU-based, which isn't necessarily a problem (the amount of switching performance you get out of a Tile-based 'router' is pretty amazing).

The most interesting piece of documentation about any piece of Mikrotik kit is the block diagram, followed by close reading of the L2/L3 offload docs...
> if you ever thought we could make systems fault tolerant

The only possible way to fault tolerancy is simplicity and then more simplicity.

Things like crowsdtrike have the opposite approach. Add a lot of fragile complexity attempting to catch problems, but introducing more attack surfaces than they can remove. This will never succeed.
If you have not read it, yet, I highly recommend it: The Deep History of Ourselves by Joseph LeDoux.

I think that your entire thought process can be hypothesized all the way back to the first cellular colonies. Individualist needed the sustainable colony to get the chance to grow and thrive. The Colony needed Individualists to innovate and diversify, because with a growing population, new needs and wants are born from evolution, subconsciousness, experience and choice and the freaking environment changes so new sources need to be processed according to possibility and taste.

The fun part is that the preserving part of the colony needs the kind of remembering and honor you are talking about to maintain the ground on which individualists can grow. At the same time individualists need to be strong enough to dessert the colony and establish a new one. And if they do, their only way to survive is to build a culture of remembering and honor that enables the growth of new individualists.

Sometimes I find myself playing with the thought that Empires only fall if their conserving body fails to serve the diverse range of needs, desires & kinks of it's population, the breeding ground of and by individualists & for everybody. It's as if too many good men die in wars and the politicians and administrators back home just don't have what it takes to be grow strong enough people because they themselves can only survive and thrive in submissive, pseudo-dominant hierarchies that don't cherish innovation & individualism and tend to be predatory & oppressive, fostering cultures that are build on shame, guilt, fear and manipulation because these things are efficient enforcers of conformity, cooptation, and create adjustable competition, which is exactly what makes colonies weak and poisons the ground, air and food of both, the social body and the individualists.

Consumer Culture might have been maximized as a hack around this, I believe, not necessarily as a conspiracy of men who tried to standardize the way of money, but of the social body itself, in order to create a clandestine womb for individualists, because mothers noticed what the fuck and how the head aligned their offspring after too many fathers died in wars & too many natural leaders withdrew from top level positions and went into the crafts and engineering because so that the mafia guys wouldn't gang up on them & their offspring. Too much corruption, even when they were only just tiny clumps of cells! ... and now we have "the age of consciousness" vs/or/and/not/nand "mass information flow"

Umm, that’s backwards. You can’t install your own software or unlock the boot loader. As soon as Apple decides the phone is e-waste, you can’t do anything about it unless there is a jailbreak. It just so happens that Apple offers software updates slightly longer than competitors, but this could easily change, as we have seen on macOS where 6 year old Intel macs no longer receive OS support. That is the pinnacle of user hostile.

I'm not really answering your question but I suppose that cartoon might help answer your question, if we had an archive of it, which we don't, so not much help really ...
Just no. In terms of bang for buck it's easier to reduce emissions in rich countries with high emissions per capita.

Unless by "buck" you mean the number of decisions that need to be made, but that's hardly the limiting factor.

Country sizes are arbitrary. With your logic if China was to split into a bunch of smaller nations their emissions wouldn't matter any more? Per-capita emissions is the only reasonable way to measure.

It's ridiculously short sighted to cancel this stuff. NLnet in particular is by far one of the most impressive & broadspanning places for innovation & development in the software world in general, and vanguard for open source at large. The benefits are so multi-fold.

Half the projects go no where, a quarter have some meaningful output with varying levels of adoption, and a quarter are amazing & loved bits of work.

Theres folks asking if we are getting out moneys worth. First, $27m just doesn't seem like all that much. Especially for such a broad array of nations. Second, the hit ratio is never going to be perfect; worrying about how every dollar is spent will insure you never ever have good research & development, will insure only lukewarm mild takes get tried. You have to be willing to fund adventerous stuff; that's what VCs for example bank on. Because it's impossible to tell, because trying to be smart ahead of time breeds mediocrity. And this r&d&maintenance funding: it buys not only the fruits of that labor, but it maintains a dynamic & empowered culture across the region. It curates talent & starts efforts & intensives the best parts of it's software world.

NLnet is so exceedingly important. There's so much possible good that humanity so rarely can get up to. NLNet has been one of core & best ways to promote making things better. This vision of human possibility is saintly & sovereign. I hope EU can keep it going.
Files are normally stored hierarchically (e.g. atomically move directories), and updated in place. Objects are normally considered to exist in a flat namespace and are written/replaced atomically. Object storage requires less expensive (in a distributed system) metadata operations. This means it's both easier and faster to scale out object storage.
> On a serious note, we have no way of knowing whether their update passed some QA or not

I think we can infer that it clearly did not go through any meaningful QA.

It is very possible for there to be edge-case configurations that get bricked regardless of how much QA was done. Yes, that happens.

That's not what happened here. They bricked a huge portion of internet connected windows machines. If not a single one of those machines was represented in their QA test bank, then either their QA is completely useless, or they ignored the results of QA which is even worse.

There is no possible interpretation here that doesn't make Crowdstrike look completely incompetent.
