Being a tropical disease makes it very unlikely and so a doctor will not even be considering it. By the time they’ve tried different therapies and start considering malaria, it’s too late. I’ve seen this happen to a couple of Africans who t

No, we don't want them.. Seriously, there's a connecting flight to DRC though.

It is. What's crazy is that Kenya has never handled ebola before and it currently has a severe corruption crisis. Infections will probably break out of the 'biosafety' hospitals and spread out into the general public.

That is why i insist on 1. Streaming replication whether from RDS or my own DB 2. Db dumps shipped to s3 using write only creds or something like rsync. Streaming gets you PIT recovery while DB dumps give me daily snapshots stored daily for

And that is why I’d rather work with a smallish and responsible registrar like porkbun - this is after I lost a domain from a “cheap name” registrar. Personal experience, no relationship to either registrar listed above

Honestly, it’s a good counter to get both sides of the coin. At the moment you’ll find BBC, CNN, NYT et al on one end and Al Jazeera on the other. I also look at DW for a more balanced approach. Don’t consume from one camp!

It’s all about the resources - the gold, the minerals and the farmland. Different groups want to control it from East African proxies for the Middle East. It’s really sad and has the potential to destabilise the region.

I’d pay more for bbc content than i do for Netflix or prime. It’s typically very good content that is strongly geo locked behind iplayer and you have to play whack a mole to get it…

If you think this is bad, then the chemicals used in rocketry - read the book ignition [1] - will have you whimpering in a corner. As with any system, risks can be identified and controlled and operationalised - Gasoline has its risks, so d

Precisely,Safaricom also alleged that they would allow for illegal connections… perhaps they meant connections that we can’t easily wiretap on behalf of the government. Interestingly, during the protests a few months ago, the government sev

Same thing in Kenya. A 150km radius around Nairobi is maxed out. I have a fishy kit that can’t join due to capacity issues. In fact, the advent of Starlink - which had acquired 0.5% of the entire market - has rattled the existing players so

We had something similar about 10 years ago where I worked. Customer instances were backed via loopback devices to local disks. We didn’t think of this - face palm - on the loop back devices. What we ended up doing was writing a small daemo

This is something life changing for some of us. I grew up in an area where water has a lot of fluoride and we didn’t get to know until I was 16.. side effect is I have very brittle teeth.. I’ve shattered a couple due to bad rice (had a smal

About 9 years ago, I consulted for a company that had a bad internal hack - disgruntled cofounder. Basically, a dead man’s switch was left that copied out the first 20mb of every disk to some bucket and then zeroed out. To recover the data

Back in the day ~23 years ago. A telco that had just launched started providing voice mail service. Normal outgoing call rates were about .5 usd per minute. The newly launched voice mail service was free. So university students found a new
