A good man? Do people here read anything non-tech related? Shinzo Abe was a world-renown revisionist who tried to turn Japan back into a far-right, ultra-racist country. Look, you guys are super smart with computers, but stop this absolute nonsense. https://jacobin.com/2017/03/abe-nippon-kaigi-japan-far-right

The irony of lamenting people's reading material and then posting a Jacobin article the reads like a wall of text internet rant with some tabloid scuttlebutt sprinkled throughout.

This is NOT a serious take on Abe. Centrist and professional IR academics laugh at the narrative that he's a fascist.

A take that lives up to your handle.

Edit: example from (center)left leaning academic economist blogger that speaks specifically to the racist/fascist take you propagated here.

Quoted post unavailable.

Far-left? He was trying to reverse the clock for Japan.

You'd have a separate 24/7 ops teams instead of every single team being first-responders for their own things. This team would be watching the dashboards and alarms with some first-level investigation/triage playbooks so that if all that's needed is "press this button to reboot the server" or "it's a holiday, or the national team just won the world cup, this is a drop in traffic cause everyone is outside" then nobody…

Maybe the person who made the original comment is on that 24/7 ops team?

if you do want to toss out such a strong accusation with a link, please choose the strongest points in your mind from that terrible article. edit: half of this conversation was nuked. wonderful flagging system. my comments were simply asking people to expand on their accusations.

Criticising a previous leader is racist? Or is criticising pro-militarisation racist? Please explain

Edit: there was a comment below stating that the GP was slandering Abe (which is false: slander means false and malicious statements. It cannot be labelled false if there is a pretense for the claim, and if you think that comment is malicious... That's a touch delicate, no?).

The comment also said GP was picking a 'classy time' to make such a remark, which is also perhaps not accurate. GP seems to be responding to OP, who stated known falsehoods. I'm that sense, it is not a 'poor time to say that' because it is a correction.

This is a terrible tragedy. Shinzo Abe seemed like a good man. I hope he pulls through, though reading the comments here makes it seem less likely.

Good man? Looking at the history it doesn't seem to be that much green. Right winged, over nationalist, corruption seems to be condoned here. He is even unpopular in japan.

There are both models at Amazon. Individual teams have their own on-call; if for example an RDS instance is continually failing to boot, someone on-call (edit: from the RDS team) will get paged to look at it.

I believe order drops are looked at by dedicated reliability team, because it's such a significant problem. But they don't watch graphs because... why would they? They set up the machines to page them when metrics aren't within an expected range. Which is what happened.

The most surprising thing here is that he was shot. How does someone even get a gun in Japan? Number two is he’s the exPM, so what would shooting him gain?

> he’s the exPM, so what would shooting him gain?

Abe still has important impacts on Japan politics. He leads the largest faction in the Liberal Democratic Party[1], therefore he could influence many voters during LDP President election. And LDP is the ruling party, so LDP President will be the PM.

Another example is he stated “If Taiwan has a problem, then Japan also has a problem.” last year as an ex-PM[2], although it is not official policy, this statements is still being discussed among Japanese government/people till now, it shows he still has huge influence in Japan.
