Pretty unlikely. Outages are common, especially in this above average summer, due to higher transformer load and temps.
Ever since the freeze, people who have even planned outages, refer to them as “rolling blackouts”. ERCOT is a pretty open data organization aside from QSE and generator data, and it’s unlikely that this data would have been fudged. We would have seen EEA3 in addition to $5k settlement prices if there was enough of a shortage to invoke rolling blackouts. These prices directly affect end users, e.g. businesses, datacenters, end users still on RTM rates, and solar buyback users. Generators definitely have offers open up to the $5k price point, and there is no way they’d be able to lock the settlement price without it being obvious to businesses/end users, or to generators/REPs/TDUs that there is market manipulation.
As far as sagging frequency, this is also wrong, because frequency sag calls up additional reserves, and we haven’t run below 1 gigawatt of reserves since the winter freeze. The number to watch for is 59.5 hertz, which is automatic EEA3 (we haven’t hit this since the winter storm, where we reached a whopping 59.3 hertz) This is also directly measurable by TDUs and (maybe) end users.
I think the more interesting thing here is how less popular of search term perl/php has become. I really can't find a language that is on an upward trend. Why would people be searching for these terms less over time?
EDIT: Nevermind, it's relative to all searches. More terms to search will depress these numbers.
It actually looks like they withdrew their A records. anl.gov is having the same issue (Though strangely enough, not mirror.anl.gov, so thankfully my systems can still update.)
You basically have to have on file with the copyright office an agent designated to handle takedown claims, if you want to qualify for safe harbor provisions.
I am still feeling burned by how quickly my zv6000 disintegrated. (And anecdotally, how poorly they treated some of the people I know who had malfunctioning laptops from bad nvidia gpus).
I'm not interested in buying HP products anymore, I'm sure that there are people who feel similar. HP is not a brand that stands for quality in my eyes.
No language has a doom sentence on it- they're just tools. There's some languages that are definately more often found in certain "cog-ish" code production companies, which might be what you're referring to.
The best thing you can do for yourself is get familiar with most languages out there, and build a sense of generalism about yourself. If you're comfortable with learning new things, and have a portfolio to back it up, you can have enough options to avoid companies that places you in a "cog" position (If that's what you're looking for.)
