Summary: Looking to join a product-oriented team as a PM. I have over 15 years of experience in leading cross-functional teams to develop and optimize digital platforms. Known for a data-driven approach to product development, strong communication skills, and the ability to align business objectives with user needs. Proven track record in managing complex projects, driving customer-focused solutions, and facilitating collaboration between technical and non-technical teams. Exploring full-time or part-time options, W2 or 1099.

ETC. Time, etcetera. I like that. There's something poetic about it.

As of Dec 12, 2023 at 04:42 PM (eastern?) the Status Page now reports "Merchants may encounter error messages when operating store admin — What happened? Some merchants may experience errors when trying to access/operate the Shopify admin. We are investigating and will keep you updated."

Nothing reported on the status page at this time. Frontend stores seem to be up, but the Admin seems to be down for all stores. Even partners.shopify.com is returning an nginx 504 Gateway Time-out.

I was able to log in around 17:45 UTC

"The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented." (Nov 30, 2023 - 17:28 UTC)

I'm unable to log into the Cloudflare Dashboard. I receive a 524 error during the 2FA step.

The 1 in 3-2-1 would ensure you have a copy offsite as well.

> on August 8th, our Security Operations team was made aware of a customer who claimed their password had been reset, without their initiation.

> One of the first discoveries was a non-DigitalOcean email address that appeared on a regular email from Mailchimp on August 7th.

> Soon after we discovered an issue with our Mailchimp account on August 8th, we initiated contact with Mailchimp, both via traditional support channels and other escalation methods. On August 10th, we had our first actionable response

And we're back about 5 minutes later.

We appear to be down again.

From the status page:

> As of approximately 23:40 UTC, our Engineering team is investigating multiple failures with DigitalOcean services, including our Cloud Control Panel, API, events such as creation of all resources, and WWW endpoints failing to resolve. We are starting to see recovery but are still investigating root cause and users may continue to experience elevated errors. We will post another update as soon as further information is available.

Some of our DigitalOcean resources (including the DO dashboard) were unavailable for approximately 10 minutes, though everything seems to be fully operational now.

We experienced about 10-15 minutes of downtime. All DigitalOcean resources and the dashboard appear to be fully operational now.

Not seeing anything on the DigitalOcean status page, but definitely experiencing an outage on NYC1 droplets, as well as the DigitalOcean dashboard.

I recently learned that much of the unwanted "suggested" tweet noise can be mitigated by muting the following terms:

suggest_recycled_tweet_inline suggest_activity_tweet suggest_who_to_follow suggest_recap suggest_recycled_tweet suggest_pyle_tweet suggest_ranked_timeline_tweet

In "Fall, or Dodge in Hell" the author, Neal Stephenson, explores this concept in great detail (over nearly 1000 pages).

Yes, they do. Try orienting the globe for yourself here:

Listening to Heaven's River right now.

After a week's exposure to FT, I'm back to thank you for this recommendation. It's exactly what I've been looking for: news, not sensationalism. Thank you.

> This population-based prospective cohort study included 495 077 women and men (mean (SD) age, 56.6 (8.1) years) from the UK Biobank study. Participants were recruited from 2006 to 2010 and were followed up through 2018. We evaluated all-cause mortality and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, respiratory and digestive disease. HRs and 95% CIs for all-cause and cause-specific mortality were calculated using Cox proportional hazards models with adjustment for potential confounding variables.

> Regular glucosamine supplementation was associated with lower mortality due to all causes, cancer, CVD, respiratory and digestive diseases.

Admittedly after only a cursory review, I agree FT headlines are not the usual cruft of clickbait. Do you listen to any FT podcasts, and if so, do they too avoid sensationalism?

Do I understand correctly that you're suggesting Cloudflare reduces organic search traffic due to restricting search engine crawlers?

Text of email from DO:

> Hi there,

>Yesterday we learned that a DigitalOcean-owned document from 2018 was unintentionally made available via a public link. This document contained your email address and/or account name (the name you gave your account at sign-up) as well as some data about your account that may have included Droplet count, bandwidth usage, some support or sales communications notes, and the amount you paid during 2018. After a detailed review by our security team we identified it was accessed at least 15 times before the document was taken down.

>Our community is built on trust, so we are taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We will be educating our employees on protecting customer data, establishing new procedures to alert us of potential exposures in a more timely manner, and making configuration changes to prevent future data exposure.

>We believe in holding ourselves accountable to our customers and that includes when we make mistakes. While we can assure you that your Droplets and other systems you run on our platform have not been impacted by this mistake, we are committed to being transparent anytime we feel your data has been used in a way that does not align with our values.

>We welcome the opportunity to talk through any questions or concerns you may have — just reply to this email.

>Thank you, Trust @ DigitalOcean

Thanks for the info and encouragement. I ordered a 1,500 piece set of classic bricks for about $50 to get us started. Coupled with the online resources you and others mentioned, and the additional downtime time at home, we're off to a good start!

I wonder if the airflow would risk spreading the virus.

I'm looking for advice (or resources for finding advice) that would help my family (ages 15+) get started building with LEGOs. I have more nostalgia for LEGOs than I do experience, though my teenage-to-young-adult children have much more experience. Do you have any advice that would get me pointed in the right direction? (eg do this, not that)

An email sent earlier today from Gusto's CEO, Josh Reeves, included a link to this article. As a business owner, I found it informative; as a consultant, I consider it an excellent example of business-to-customer communication during the events surrounds COVID-19.

It's a little ironic that the article expressed the value of Planck's constant using an SI Unit with kilograms.

>Based on 16 months' worth of measurements, it calculated Planck's constant to be 6.626069934 x 10−34 kg∙m2/s.
