Looks like a bunch of US carriers are down nationwide, seems like a pretty big coincidence or a single node failure. Would be interesting to see the RCA if one does get published
It’s not like other countries don’t have conmen, they’re not exclusive to India alone. It’s what happens to Chitra when they are caught that sets the country and it’s systems to a more progressive path.
Having lived all my life in several packed downtown metro areas all over from Delhi, Mumbai, NYC to San Francisco, being safety aware and conscious of your surroundings is pure common sense and not just a specific city problem. Yes, the political class and municipality can absolutely do better to quell the concerns for the wealth and demand the metro area attracts as someone pointed out earlier, although that’s a tangential discussion IMO
“Sounds like actual hell in comparison” What gives that assumption?
I have been taking the Caltrain for work in the past decade, sure it isn’t the most ideal or perfect railway system in the world debatably but it sure is the workhorse of a bustling population that doesn’t get as much praise for doing it’s job.
The Bay Area is 6900 square miles of land and cost of living is as high as any other metro on average per square mile. London, Tokyo, New York and pretty much every other major metropolis has problems akin to the Bay Area but we never quite as frequently refer to London or Tokyo “falling apart” the way we like to attract all our collective attention to bash the Bay Area here.
Google and Facebook both expanded their real estate along the Embarcadero waterfront. On the retail side, Ikea made its first purchase for a retail store in SF. Construction hasn't taken a back seat in SF during the lock down. These stories often get hidden by the catchy headlines of who's shutting down offices and going fully remote.
Much like Amazon or Google or Facebook or Apple, err. Apple's decision to enter the auto market for renewable clean energy and pledge to uphold carbon neutrality and be negative by 2030 should might as well be a welcome step here.
The project started sometime around 2016, so going by Apple’s track record 2024 seems like a possibility. Tesla needs a competition and is slowly turning into a monopoly.
SF isn't an address for close to 800,000 residents just because of tech (or work if you will). There are myriads of other factors of why anyone would choose to live close to nice beaches, a long beautiful Pacific coastline, proximity to wineries/breweries, 4 full seasons w/ unparalleled weather conditions all year round to name just a few :)
What justifies from keeping anyone to not implement the ban on single-use plastics right away? Is it just the loss in revenue and labor from the petrochemical industries?
I think the real problem (and the one that doesn't get much attention) is that the current standards for TV OS' are not as high as those set for other platforms like the web, etc. After spending the day using more superlative platforms such as a rich desktop/mobile OS, the evening experience on the TV and connected home is not quite the same and it somehow feels like a minor but a noticeable downgrade, one which is constantly improving but isn't quite there yet as marketed.
Amazon Alexa and the FireTV. Been around for some time now, several iterations except that the UX hasn’t changed, quality isn’t any better than couple years ago and painful/buggy 3rd party app integrations.
Ever since the advent of Java 8, developers who had previously moved on to newer generation of programming languages are now slowly piquing their interest in Java again which is equally exciting and reassuring to see. Java has consistently ranked at the top in the TIOBE index. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/
This was long overdue. Palantir has always been a darling of the valley. I often wonder how much of Palantir is actually owned by DoD and if that information would be made public after they IPO.
Since they are serving about 250 requests per second, Lambdas might end up being more expensive, factor in an expensive DynamoDB and that monthly AWS bill looks scary.
