IAM is seems to be run out of North Virginia (other than Gov Cloud)[0]. However they probably may be doing some magic under the covers to reduce latency across the globe. It would also explain why GovCloud isnt affected.

IAM is a global service. So it kind of makes sense that all regions would be affected by an outage.

It does look like it.

So I am a bit confused as to how Stripe Issuing helps us figure out the underlying technologies that ties a company as OP above asked? Am I missing something?

Was this bill reintroduced? It looks like this is from last year and died in the Senate.

Actually thats exactly what I thought it would be. Expected to see an area in the Tundra's with a wildflower bed.

This article states that it is not the oldest tree since its a clonal tree and not an individual. So I am confused, is it the oldest or not?

I kinda liked the idea (yes, I see the irony of this in this particular thread :)) about having these post not being liked to the karma of a user.

Then again, perhaps the best thing about hackernews is the simplicity of the system without having these complex scenarios tied to posts.

It often seems to me that we get caught up in the rhetoric on either side. We are either talking about how the NSA or Google is spying on us or how sharing information is essentially changing the world.

I agree, where is the debate in which we have a discussion about security without giving up all our rights to privacy for example? Surely we can have the best minds sit together and talk about these things without going on a diatribe about how the other side is either a clueless ideologue or is pure evil.

I haven't read the book yet, but it looks like Schneier is attempting to do so. Hopefully it lives upto its expectations.

Per the mailing list Guillaume doesn't know whether Grails will be joining Apache as well. It is sort of strange because I always took the two projects to be a package deal. But I suppose they have two different managing groups.

With the maker movement picking up, I almost feel that RadioShack could have done so much more in the hobbyist electronics market. They could have had Arduino kits and additions, 3D printers, drone parts etc, instead of just the go to store for cables.

I can almost see the RadioShack of the bygone days that hosted electronic clubs which could have had a comeback.
