Just another dime-a-dozen story about rubes getting fleeced by the casino owner-operators of the current day. They could have written something similar 50 years ago, and you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be seeing more of the same 50 years hence.

I agree. We want to expect competence at all levels of the private and especially public sectors, but we're only able to insist upon it in a few key areas (aerospace, medical devices, etc.)

It is funny to see the same story every time. It's all burdensome regulation by the nanny state until something goes very very wrong and the public wants answers NOW, at which point it's incompetent government getting led by the nose by monied interest groups and their public relations departments.

This is exactly what happened with Brexit. Bunch of people voted to leave the burdensome EU regulation environment, then realised they quite liked workers rights so they don’t get fired in an instant, having food quality standards was actually pretty good to protect us from chickens filled with hormones and they didn’t want a bunch of infrastructure built in their back yard so environmental regulation was also quite useful.

This is a reasonable question. Not everyone can do a full audit of the codebase, regardless of how open the source is.

No one would classify AWS as a single service. The name is literally "Amazon Web Services".

What we're seeing now is a smash and grab before the midterms.

usb superposition. my favorite of the classic phenomena

Same. Those colors were an intentional (and effective) choice

Imagine being an adult human but not being able to extract a tiny chuckle from such a silly thing.

Well, I do have a rather special last name which makes me susceptible.

Thought of this immediately after reading the parent comment. I was actually pretty shocked at how seamless the whole project was.
