I know a company already operating like this in the fintech space. I foresee a front page headline about their demise in their future.

The only reliable way to get things fixed with these large companies, is to have a direct point of contact to them. I have one. You can find my email in my profile, ping me and I w…

I once sent this as a reference to a government agency I was consulting, to illustrate to them, how they operated.

It reminds me quite a bit of collision engines for 2D physics/games. Could probably find some additional clever optimisations for the lookup/overlap (better than kd-trees) if you d…

There used to be a joint online project to compute these tables in a SETI like distributed system. Everyone who contributed their CPU cycles, could use the tables. And yeah, around…

The latency and bandwidth really isn't there for HPC.

Sure, so the use case I have requires elastic storage and elastic compute. So CephFS really isn't a good fit in the cloud environment for that case. It would get prohibitively expe…

I've had to test out various networked filesystems this year for a few use cases (satellite/geo) on a multi petabyte scale. Some of my thoughts: * JuiceFS - Works well, for high pe…

So the argument is essentially "8 billion people dying is a problem, that is worse than whatever the result of longevity is". I'm not sure that it is.

It seems to ping-pong back and forth. Our monitoring is basically spamming us with DNS down, DNS up every 5 minutes or so.

Agreed, let's upvote this thread higher to get some eyes on this.

No idea. Never actually seen a failure like this in practise.

Whois isn't even showing the domains and name servers. Not to mention DNS records. Its like the domains don't exist anymore.

Down for us as well.

While I do love Postgres and use it daily on AWS and Google Cloud, I will add that the managed Postgres on Google Cloud is a mess in some areas. For example they use some EOL exten…

I might just take you up on that.

Thanks for clearing that up. Few followup questions: You don't actually directly charge for storage itself, so I assume this a "bring your own s3 bucket" type of deal, correct? How…

Can you elaborate on a few things with regards to your pricing: * What does "$0.05 / gigabyte transferred" mean exactly. Transferred outside of AWS or accessed as in read and writt…

FlexFS kicks ass. I benchmarked it for our data storage and processing layers in value.space (satellite data processing and analysis) and we will most likely migrate to FlexFS in t…

Not sure. Perhaps a further investigation by the authorities will reveal the reason.

You absolutely can and it is true.

> So, the bridge was under stress and moving(breaking off?) slowly by few mm each year causing the eventual collapse? This is what it looks like from the data. The key here is "div…

That is the goal.

So this is done via InSAR ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometric_synthetic-aper... ), leveraging ESA satellite data. Not sure on the buzzword bingo there.

It is an after the fact survey done on historical satellite data. More data can be found here: https://newsletter.value.space/p/bridge-collapse-germany-aty...
