I got called gay back in high school for listening to Brackish by Kittie. Never understood that one.

At this point, the DNC could be giving out guns and Republicans would call it a trap that they are only giving a single high capacity magazine. Honestly, after everything that has been known about Project 2025, Trump, Lindsay Graham, and everyone on the right, I don’t think there is anything that could ever change their vote.

I wonder what the North Koreans think of Russia. Like did they arrive and think, “what a shithole”? You know Kim can’t have them seeing anything decent or they will defect.

My guess is that by going fully onsite, they can probably avoid layoffs entirely. The majority of tech roles are hybrid or remote so the departures are going to be often and steady which will naturally select out anyone not interesting in making their life Amazon. They want employees that live and breath Amazon and this is how they get that (or just keep desperate people).

I really hope they can make an outsized difference. I’m guessing it takes time to get used to using them and Ukraine won’t have that time. They are flying right into the fray.

That was a crazy explosion. The drones must be getting bigger as that looked like an artillery warhead explosion.

I would pre-order and I have never pre-ordered. I would even purchase the larger drone DLC.

It sure sounds like the trade association needs to bring a better offer to the union if the impact is going to be so severe.

I’m of the opinion that it’s just to improve the perception of package quality. I don’t see those cheap plastic pieces as keeping the prongs from accidentally warping or bending but I guess they could keep moisture away. I’ve never received a corroded set of prongs before their use though so my theory stands as they are upping the packaging visual aesthetics.

I think the workers want their pensions back. That is reason enough to strike.

“Where people love to drive”. I hate driving but damn try getting around without a car and spend your whole day just getting groceries.

I really hope they can keep getting the intel to hit more of these. Always great to see.

If your service needs to operate 24/7, then it needs to be staffed 24/7. If it doesn’t need to operate 24/7, then staff will resolve the issue during normal work hours. Most businesses have IT teams stagger their start time so that someone comes in early and can deal with issues that may have risen the night before and prior to other employees arriving.

I can’t imagine working for a company and not having the thought of layoffs in the back of my head. Article states that companies are encouraged to provide life long employment which is pretty great. Here in the US, I hop to a new job every 2-4 years since I don’t think a single company is invested in the worker. So we get both the constant threat of layoffs as well as a five day work week. Sounds like Japan is heading in a better direction since at least the government is behind a four day work week. I can’t imagine a single Republikan being in favor of that.

You know the Russians hit exactly what they were aiming for too. This is the difference. Ukraine would never target a children’s hospital.

With Russia using chem weapons, the allied countries need to drop limitations on the use of weapons by Ukraine and increase weapons shipments. That will send a clear signal that this shit won’t be tolerated.

You have to remember that the cloud is just a series of data centers owned by cloud providers. If you are Netflix, you’re not hosting Stranger Things for audiences in the US from the EU. You have a copy of it in both places and leverage AWS regions in each area to server geographically closer users (it’s typically called latency based routing). If the undersea cables are cut, the EU still watches Netflix because the content doesn’t need to travel undersea, it’s already in the EU, same thing in the US. The challenge comes in at the end of the month when people pay their Netflix bills and the banks needs to process international payments. End users are largely not impacted by direct service outages but big companies are.

That is amazing. At this rate, Russia will have to try and buy oil from the EU.

This is crazy and yet so amazing. Every time I think Ukraine is making a questionable choice, I am proven wrong. Damn what I wouldn’t give to see a match to Moscow.

Yeah that would be the policy for a normal country but considering Russia they will put him in aircraft until he stops breathing.
