Watching Mayday on flights is one of my favorite things to do for some odd reason.

Isn't that fundamentally a coordination problem? When voltage is dropping (or phase is falling out of alignment) don't you want to shed load to stabilize? The issue seems to be more that too much load could shed too quickly causin

I hope you are wrong, or at least that someone else does it. I'm very happy for SpaceX's success but a monopoly on space launch capacity benefits nobody, SpaceX included.

I agree, and I do not take issue with the general complaint (frivolous lawsuits) I am merely pointing out that your ire should be directed more at the legislature not at the people.

And LEO is using SpaceX to launch. SpaceX was launching a modest % of the LEO constellation but after the Blue Origin failure, SpaceX is the only launch provider who can fill that gap and actually let LEO deliver on contracted time. Please

It did not. In fact the article comes dangerously close to admitting that there is correlation without correlation, it opens with: > Here is the short version. In 2012, Caltrain budgeted its electrification project — the backbone of the

> But they did load-shed Right, exactly, I highly doubt the facility went into any kind of actual uncontrolled thermal rise. This is news because they had to take such drastic actions. I'm sure its common that they force spot prices

The cat incident at a facility I worked at. Its cold up here in the winter, sadly, the residual heat from even totally passive components like switch gear is enough to warm things up enough to attract them. .001% of 1MW of power is still qu

Of course not. They fail above 100%. Some fail below 100% too.

With hyperscalers for sure. But this is the physical world, shit happens. The algorithm didn't know that fuse was lose and fine at 50% duty cycle but was high resistance and going to blow at 100%.

This is almost definitely an issue of equipment failure. Cooling in datacenters is like everything else both over and under provisioned. It's overprovisioned in the sense that the big heat exchange units are N+1 (or in very critical an

I remember being amazingly excited to have saved up enough money to go to the store and buy a 33.6 modem (an amazing upgrade from my 14.4). A year or so later I upgraded to a v.92 only to realize my ISP (I think it was IDT at the time) didn

No but "They got banned for uploading child porn to Google Drive" is a correct framing and "google banned a developer for finding child porn" is incorrect. There is important additional context around it, of course, whic

One good reason is that people have written golang adapters, so that you can use sqlite databases without cgo. I agree to what I think you're saying which is that "sqlite" has, to some degree, become so ubiquitous that it&#x2

Same here. I (proudly) had my account there banned for posting the AACS key. Went to reddit and was not unhappy there for many years, but, aside from some targeted subreddits (/r/beagle!) I rarely spend any time on reddit anymore.

I broadly agree with what you're saying, but, that's not the issue here. They don't even have a dedicated status/outage page, afaik. The website being down is a more classic problem. The outage probably increased traffic
