UK is ahead of the US https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

Fascinating. So those rates are including only ages 30+, which means that once it’s unrestricted the UK should have a very high vaccination rate while ~15-25% of the US will still remain unvaccinated entirely by choice. Wow. So you’re absolutely right, the UK is in reality far far ahead and the US is completely broken as far as public health is concerned because of willing ignorance.

Call me old fashioned but the latest trend of showing "empathy" for a serious incident, then proceeding to dance around the aftermath of it, whilst people give themselves a pat on back in a retro/post-mortem, isn't the way to do it. People need to be blamed, and responsibility for actions taken (without covering asses)

Blame culture isn't the way forward here. Do a post-mortem, work out root causes, work as a unit to ensure this doesn't happen again. Obviously if there are levels of gross negligence or misconduct discovered during post-mortem, that will need to be dealt with accordingly, but coming into this with an attitude of "we must find someone to blame and incur repercussions" isn't healthy at all. We are humans - don't forge…

I think what you said is exactly why people have different opinions on this topic: what counts as "gross negligence" and what doesn't? Different people draw lines at different places.

Every other comment about what's down in this thread -- as if we needed dozens of site-by-site accountings of this outage in the first place -- is a bitch about reddit. Why is reddit so important to this crowd? The specific topics I used to read the site for (half a dozen years ago) have all been overrun by "bucket people," there is literally never an answer to any question I find a google link to there, and the site…

old.reddit still a thing and there is a plenty of educational subreddits with really nice community around them, it's just like the internet just pick the things that suits you.

I didn't know so many sites were depending on Fastly. Stack Overflow, GitHub, reddit, .... Even pip is unavailable. My development workflow is completely janked up. It is a bit scary that we are putting too many eggs in one basket.

Hackage (Haskell) is down as well: http://hackage.haskell.org

The mirrors still work though, and cabal will just fall back to those

I think this may be because we've had much higher uptake as far as I know, so getting down the age ranges has been slower (by which I mean, yes, maybe the US has made it available to all adults, but how many (as a proportion) have taken it up)

This is awesome. And also exposes how broken the US is with its anti-vaccination trend

err, to make representations platform independent?

That sounds antithetical to the purpose of emojis.

Same reason why Gmail uses their own emojis rather than the system ones — (as said above) branding. When you send a tweet, Twitter wants it to look identical across all devices. The classic native UI vs cross-platform UI debate in a nutshell.

Fastly Engineer 1: Seems like a common error message. Can you check stackoverflow to see if there's an easy fix? Fastly Engineer 2: I have some very bad news...

Haha! That sounds highly plausible!
