I hear FIFA makes new awards these days

The developers never thought you'd make it this far.

The Internet is a mere 23 PiB according to the graphic. These days you can fit that on just a few racks.

Can even get it in a single rack if you use SSDs

A few ounces is all we need!

As the article points out, there is a safety cost from over-regulation. The impact on air quality from not allowing the new technology quickly enough is very real.

There's a safety cost for getting things sold before they're proven to be safe.

Don't get me wrong, I want air quality to improve. But I don't want shit products or snake oil to be produced which would only make air quality worse.

Instead of blaming regulation: blame businesses that don't want to demonstrate the positive benefits of their product and want to hide the negative affects.

"further aggression limited to those who have not accepted their dominance" doesn't sound anything at all like "turning around" to me.

That's kind of a weird ops story, since SRE 101 for oncall is to not rely on the system you're oncall for to resolve outages in it. This means if you're oncall for communications of some kind, you must have some other independent means of reaching eachother (even if it's a competitor phone network)

That is heavily contingent on the assumption that the dependencies between services are well documented and understood by the people building the systems.

Are you asserting that Rogers employees needed documentation to know that Rogers Wireless runs on Rogers systems?

Rogers is perhaps best described as a confederacy of independent acquisitions. In working with their sales team, I have had to tell them where there facilities are as the sales engineers don't always know about all of the assets that Rogers owns.

There's also the insistence that Rogers employees should use Rogers services. Paying for every Rogers employee to have Bell cell phone would not sit well with their executives.

That the risk assessments of the changes being made to the router configuration were incorrect also contributed to the outage.

When interest rates were particularly low years ago, we saw a large number of companies issuing bonds and then using the money to just do stock buybacks.

The claim isn't that your saying no to fulfilling orders, it's that your saying no to giving them a discount.

Well, no. This is the comment I responded to:

  Unless something has changed over the last couple years,
  restaurants opt in to being available on those apps. 

That very much asserts that the issue is about accepting orders. Doordash et al were initially opt-out.

Yeah, like the restaurant can say “no” to giving a discount, they can say “no” to people wanting their food to get delivered now. It’s just that now it’ll be a bad business decision probably.

Everything is possible. And every choice has its own set of tradeoffs. But no, there’s no time machine to the pre-Doordash world now.

While it's true that preventing cancer means you're likely to die in a few years of heart disease, and preventing heart disease means you're likely to die in a few years of cancer, solving both will add dramatically more than both effects combined to both life and healthspan.

Those really are the big two - as the graphs in the article show, the next biggest things are much smaller and much less likely to get you, which means you live a lot longer and healthier.
