the most important part of speed these days is NVRAM not just a SSD. If you are using a standard SSD things will still be much slower.

Younger voters tend to blue.

Approximately half (53%) of young Americans indicate they will "definitely be voting" in the 2024 general election for president. Young Americans' interest in voting in 2024 is now on par with Harvard Youth Poll data from 2020, which indicated that 54% would likely vote.

If the presidential election were held today, President Biden would outperform former President Trump among both registered (50% Biden, 37% Trump) and likely young voters under 30 (56% Biden, 37% Trump). When there is no voter screen (i.e., all young adults 18-29), the race narrows to single digits, 45% for President Biden, 37% for former President Trump, with 16 percent undecided.

Among the 1,051 "likely voters" in our sample, we found significant differences in support levels based on gender, age, race/ethnicity, and education levels, among other subgroups. For example, among likely young voters:

    President Biden's lead among young men is six points; among young women his lead is 33 points;
    President Biden's lead among 18-24 year-olds is 14 points, and among 25-29 year-olds it is 26 points;
    President Biden's lead among white voters is 3 points; among non-white voters his lead is 43 points;
    President Biden's lead among college students is 23 points; he leads by 47 points among college graduates. The race is even among those not in college and without a four-year degree.

I worked at a wireless telecom company 10 years ago. The local switches did not have a consistent decom procedure. One switch removed two routers and had it on a truck to leave that was used for a critical service all within a few hours. It would have taken a week or longer to fix if we were not able to get it off the truck and put back into the rack. We then forced all regions to have a 10 day policy of powering off a device 10 days before they remove any cabling or the device it self.

His complaint doesn't include what level he was at MSFT. Depending on level he may have only been meeting expectations. It also doesn't include what his compensation was, just his additional compensation for working on co pilot. He could be 1 million TC + but we won't know.

A few other factors to consider: The people doing the low level coding are usually not the top compensated people for a project. Its the higher level architects that determine the overall plan for the product and set the direction for mid and low level engineers.

AWS us-east-1 down 3 years ago

I don't think this article has any value. Are you only counting region wide outages? US east is probably 10x the size of any other region with more AZ's than any other region.

I am struggling to see how the risk calculus tilts strongly against vaccination for college campuses. What are you saying?

College campuses have staff and students of all ages. They should be a safe place for people even that are unable to get vaccinated due to medical issues. The risk of myocarditis is higher with a COVID infection than the vaccine.

Suing someone across state lines for a small amount like 1k is not really worth it in most scenarios if the host is the one that tries to sue you. If its air bnb i don't think a jury would find they deserve the money if it was cancelled within 1 hour of booking due to a misunderstanding.
