A few years back we had two different instances of this pipeline getting shut down from newly-found leaks. While they say it won’t cause gas shortages, these articles tend to drive people to the pumps in droves in the southeastern states served by it (like mine, NC!).

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard about a story like this. One blew up a few years back on Reddit maybe? I’ll have to dig it up.

I’ve heard mixed reviews of the Lincoln seats because of the adjustments. There are just so many settings that getting them right is overwhelming and difficult.

Re db migrations: they've built their own DB management tooling (https://github.com/openark/orchestrator) and online migration tooling (https://github.com/github/gh-ost)

Sad that they reduced key travel on the X1 line again. It's not butterfly level, but still. I'm excited to try it nonetheless.

I’ve yet to find a platform where the HBO Max app isn’t a total piece of garbage, iOS included.

https://weworkremotely.com/ is a pretty big remote job board that is likely siphoning away most traffic

The y-scale on that graph really makes it hard to understand the true drop in price.

I find that AWS chose the same name as GCP for this tool hilarious.

Nonetheless, excited to see it -- it's something that I've complained about with AWS since using Google's CloudShell. It also continues us down the path to easy Ops-type work on an iPad (even though you can already have an EC2 instance and use Prompt to access it, being able to have a shell without needing to provision and EC2 instance is chefs kiss).

> have spent on development was actually just updating their supply chain

Warp Speed funding to AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson also included money that was earmarked for manufacturing capability investment.

IMO a pre-order guarantee is not the same as taking money that is spelled out as a development-funding commitment (https://investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-release-d...).

Moderna's initial funding didn't have an order attached to it, not that was disclosed. In August the US Government did go back and actually purchase vaccines under a separate agreement (https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2020/08/11/trump-administrati...). Also:

> The May 21, April 16, and March 30 HHS agreements with AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson respectively include investments in manufacturing capabilities.

This is something that Pfizer got asked about during the hearings on Friday -- their execs stated that they tried to recruit minorities heavily in the beginning of the study and continued doing so in later recruiting rounds (I don't recall if they mentioned actual number though).

> What value do pinned deployments add over that?

Not tacking on a service mesh middleware that I now have to manage and debug.

They're screened for content, but there is a pretty deep queue currently.

We don't, but streaming on YouTube/Twitch have some caveats that ruled them out for this.

Not the case, we're not keeping any of the email addresses/data. We'll add a note.

Just a performance comparison.

COVID PCR tests waiting to be sent to a lab also need to be frozen.

That’s a pretty bad assumption. Just because 99% of Polish folks use Android doesn’t mean that 33% of those phones are in the group that doesn’t have the cert. “will” is strong.

That’s mentioned in the article — no. It was going to be cost and logisticly prohibitive to make LCDs.

HugOps to them, this is quite the string of issues over the last few weeks.

> When a user establishes a TCP session through Boundary, a Boundary worker node seamlessly proxies the connection.

Boundary sounds like the perfect mash-up of Google's bastion-less SSH access to GCE instances and actual IAM. Exciting!

> It's so worth it, though.

It was until it caused a production outage, then it became very not worth it.

> Increased billing from cross-AZ traffic

Yep, we (Basecamp) have been bit by this with EKS too. By default the ALB Ingress Controller will put all cluster nodes into the target group and a request can hit kube-proxy in any AZ before being directed to the right place, causing a lot of inter-AZ traffic churn. It's mildly annoying.

(with alb-ingress-controller you can change target-type to IP to have traffic go direct to pods that will actually back a given service instead of via kube-proxy on a random node, but the big fault there is that if alb-ingress-controller gets hung up on something and you deploy, you can send traffic to nowhere because the target group still has old IPs for pods that don't exist).

Great. Now what we do to keep it from happening again? How do we reduce corporatocracy and regulatory capture?

> As part of the transaction, Gogo will enter into a 10-year network services agreement under which Intelsat will have exclusive access to Gogo ATG services for the CA market in North America, subject to minimum revenue guarantees of $177.5 million.

Interesting approach here, seems to just be offloading the service to Intelsat only to have a rev guarantee which would make the sale profitable with a pretty quick turnaround.

Ope, my fault -- I didn't have a chance to watch it, so I was just going off of what I read on Reddit.

I didn't expect my 5 year old Dell P2415Q to Just Work with Lunar, but it does, awesome! Now to stop messing with that awful OSD.

Seems like the expectation on Reddit is that the 3090 is more of a Titan replacement rather than a 2080Ti replacement and that a Ti variant will come later with 20gb of mem.

My understanding is that it's only bad if disturbed and in the air. That's why popcorn ceilings, roof tiles, and insulation with asbestos is all "fine" and not mandated to be removed.

But yes, the long-term effects are the real problem.
