    That the risk you take

    Well someone might just hit your car, that’s the risk you take by driving, nobody got hurt, they shouldn’t be held accountable. I would have shrugged it off and started taking the bus.

    This is fun, we can remove all accountability from everything that’s not harming someone directly!

    You know… There’s a lot of women that wouldn’t dare to walk alone at night. That white Kevin has been vetted by Uber and has a paper trail.

    How about not just a white Kevin but an Armed Stacey, or a security guard Michelle.

    of course, it’d probably cost MORE to get someone to walk with you because they’d have to not only drive there and walk but walk back.






  • It’s possible that it’s just people managing contractors. You used to have to really blaze trails to make stuff like this happen But now, every part of the equation is a solved task. Most of the work is weaving together the APIs of a dozen different storage and hardware as a service companies.

    It’s also possible that a stressed out startup doesn’t take time to update their about page beyond their management when they’re looking to get seed capital.

    In any case, the likely either be sued or bought out before they get any kind of serious momentum. The broligarchs don’t take kindly to competition.


  • Happened at a non Google data center near me years ago. Even though the PDUs were powered by the battery matrix all the time, the sense on the switchover relays from utility to generator were miswired after some critical hardware maintenance was done.

    At the next generator test, when the generator shut down at the end of the test the battery is refused to switch back to utility.

    It was a really big data center, and a really big power feed. There was no easy way to manually fix it because the contactors were so big that it was an arc flash danger. They lost a good portion of a day getting a power engineer on site to confirm the state of everything and get them reconnected.




  • Hyper-compartmentalization. Everything can be falling apart around me, high stakes, emergency, danger, but I just proceed calmly and steadily toward the goal. I am a rat in a maze, and each decision is just an ab node in a tree. I make best guesses and don’t shoulda woulda. If I can’t make it and everything is horrible, that was the outcome, I did the best I could with the knowledge/data given, or I put in what I felt was right, and if I’m wrong, oh well.

    My mother was 100 lbs soaking wet, but MAN could she eat. There was a steamed shrimp buffet on the other side of the city.

    Family rules: We were there for shrimp, if you a little salad that’s ok, but stay away from the bread and the desserts, you can get those anywhere. You’d best eat at least three plates full

    We’d eat and eat and eat and eat, then take a little break, then eat some more. Mom was skinny; dad was normal-sized, and I was a little chubby. OMG did we put away some shrimp.
