If your service needs to operate 24/7, then it needs to be staffed 24/7. If it doesn’t need to operate 24/7, then staff will resolve the issue during normal work hours. Most businesses have IT teams stagger their start time so that someone comes in early and can deal with issues that may have risen the night before and prior to other employees arriving.

This map lists all the important cities in the US so it tracks for me. Scale is close enough.

This is the intersection of Xitter and SpaceX and it looks like Xitter takes priority.

I can’t imagine working for a company and not having the thought of layoffs in the back of my head. Article states that companies are encouraged to provide life long employment which is pretty great. Here in the US, I hop to a new job every 2-4 years since I don’t think a single company is invested in the worker. So we get both the constant threat of layoffs as well as a five day work week. Sounds like Japan is heading in a better direction since at least the government is behind a four day work week. I can’t imagine a single Republikan being in favor of that.

You know the Russians hit exactly what they were aiming for too. This is the difference. Ukraine would never target a children’s hospital.

I use my neighbors hose to power a water wheel for infinite energy. No one knows where the water comes from but i assume it’s free.

How do these people even navigate life if they are blaming the security researcher for using public tools to download data from a public site? Is it “hacking” because the URl looks “funny” and ends in .onion?

With Russia using chem weapons, the allied countries need to drop limitations on the use of weapons by Ukraine and increase weapons shipments. That will send a clear signal that this shit won’t be tolerated.

Right!?!?!?! I thought we hit rock bottom with Bush Jr and then this whole thing with Trump came along. I am starting to realize that it’s just going to get worse from here. If GWB wasn’t the worst then Trump will likely not be the worst.

You have to remember that the cloud is just a series of data centers owned by cloud providers. If you are Netflix, you’re not hosting Stranger Things for audiences in the US from the EU. You have a copy of it in both places and leverage AWS regions in each area to server geographically closer users (it’s typically called latency based routing). If the undersea cables are cut, the EU still watches Netflix because the content doesn’t need to travel undersea, it’s already in the EU, same thing in the US. The challenge comes in at the end of the month when people pay their Netflix bills and the banks needs to process international payments. End users are largely not impacted by direct service outages but big companies are.
