No matter where you run the job from, you run it in the required timezone, not UTC, and you still have the issue with what to do with the change in the local timezone. This isn't a problem that can be solved with a single technical sol

And not the locals - as the local community can't sustain that amount of building. People come in temporarily while the work goes, then leave. This adds more pressure on the local community for again very little gain.

It certainly is, but that's a business question, not a technical question If the business requires it to run at 01:30 and there are two per day, or zero per day, then the business rules needs to define what happens. You can't solv

And very few people work there relative to the impact. Sure nobody liked living near factories in ye olden days, but they did like the employment opportunities. You can see how few work there when you compare the size of the data centre and

So I have to manually update the job How about I use some form of library to do it. I tell it I want to run at 0800 London time, and it runs at 0800 London time If I tell it I want to run at 0130 London time (or 0330 Athens time) I still ha

I'm not convinced something that's been tried multiple times on and off in the UK (last time ID cards were being brought in - by Labour and the 2006 act - it was cancelled by the coalition), and happens in many countries, is a &qu

I wonder what proportion of decisions makers in youtube speak more than one language on a regular basis. I suspect it's near-zero.

There isn't one centralised internet, its thousands of autonomous systems which connect to each other using a common language. Now sure, some companies try hard to centralise it and own it, this leads to a more fragile ecosystem.

In 1999 I paid (inflation adjusted) $20 per episode in DS9 If you are only wiling to pay 10 cents then that's a major problem - viewing figures just aren't that high any more. A modern scifi show would need 100 million viewers to

Depends how strong the protections of your civil society is, but it doesn't cost $1m to send a goon with a crowbar or shotgun. Sure that doesn't scale, but if you are a target you're screwed

> you could enlist a well-known technology company to [run a PKI], If you have a single company, then that's easy enough for a group like Mossad to infiltrate. Probably easier than a distributed system.

archive.org resolves to 207.241.224.2 using cf, google and quad9 This is just tcp to 207.241.224.2 port 80 (delivered via curl) or from a router. SYN goes out, nothing comes back. I can't reach it from AS16509 (AWS eu-west-2), AS17547

archive.org's been down for ages. I put it down to blocking the UK thanks to stupid UK laws, but I can't reach it from servers elsewhere either. Is it still going or did it piss off the wrong person in America?

For the 120th (10 year) issue, I think in 1996, they had a "what will computers look like in 10 years time" article. I'd love to see that.

If I've got 128G of ram and need 100M more to get it, something is wrong. What if I've got 64G of ram and 64G of swap and need the same amount of memory?
