E.x. if the data breached was not critical to legal retention requirements, the penalty is more severe. (Ofc this assumes good definition of what is critical for legal retention).
At the very least it would encourage companies to keep such data less or for shorter times to minimize damage.
Global Foundries sent their EUV machine back (and paid a fat restocking fee to do it), they've stopped trying to compete at the leading edge of logic processes.
SMIC has a DUV multi-patterning 7 nm node which is already economically uncompetitive with EUV 7 nm nodes (except for PRC subsidies) and the economics of DUV only get worse further down, but at least they're trying and will certainly be the first client to use the Chinese EUV machines, whenever those come online.
I think you meant KB here but now im also wondering how many MB you -could- actually scale tp and what the overhead would be due to the numbers of banks to switch between...
Northern Virginia's Fairfax County public schools have the day off for Diwali, so that's not an unreasonable question.
In my experience, the teams at AWS are pretty diverse, reflecting the diversity in the area. Even if a lot of the Indian employees are taking the day off, there should be plenty of other employees to back them up. A culturally diverse employee base should mitigate against this sort of problem.
If it does turn out that the outage was prolonged due to one or two key engineers being unreachable for the holiday, that's an indictment of AWS for allowing these single points of failure to occur, not for hiring Indians.
Seems like a lot of people missing that this post was made around midnight PST time and thus it would be more reasonable to ping people at lunch in IST before waking up people in EST or PST.
Then I missed it too because I let my Indian coworkers handle production issues after 9,10pm unless the problem sounds an awful lot like the feature toggle I flipped on in production is setting servers on fire.
My main beef with that team was that we worked on too many stories in parallel so information on brand new work was siloed. Everyone caught up after a bit but stuff we just or hadn’t demoed yet was spotty for coverage.
If I was up at 1 am it was because I had insomnia and figured out exactly what the problem was and it was faster to fix it than to explain. Or if I wake up really early and the problem is still not fixed.
Not terrible unless you are lead footing both the accelerator and brake.
Also as far as Stop and go... its typically also lower speed; wind resistance is not linear based on speed, so 'crawling' is not that bad.
Im in the US and drive a hybrid rather than an EV, that said 'stop and go' is when I will often seem an MPG -increase-, so long as I gently accelerate (in severe stop and go, just letting my foot off brake and not touching gas).
That's also some of the justification for 'mild hybrids' that have an auto stop and maybe at best a 11kW/120Nm electric motor to kick things off. If you don't drive with a lead foot they can improve efficiency (but overcomplicate things compared to Toyota HSD)
I suppose main counter condition would be in low temperature conditions; AC is fairly efficient, Heating less so, and then in severe cases the batteries need to activate their own self heaters.
In late 2020 and early 2021, Used car prices plummeted due to so many people trading in 2nd vehicles. I remember tire kicking a 2008 vehicle that was 2000$ then...
Whiplash on used cars started later in 2021, as people were starting to go back out more and in some cases beginning to RTO.
The combination of rising new car prices and rising interest rates in 2022 only further hurt the market. On top of that the newer cars are in many cases less reliable so people are holding on longer.
Fwiw I just double checked and For reference that same 2008/make/mileage is now more like 5000$...
Just to be Mr pedantic here, the same mileage means you have a much better vehicle 5 years later. I would add 25-40k extra miles to account for typical mileage added per year
Sorry im not following; unless it is a 'special' car, a 2008 car with 120k miles, except accounting for inflation and market dynamics, would be worth less in 2025 with the same mileage. Except of course for the factors I mentioned (as well as inflation)
PS2 had export limitations put on it by Japan. There were also rumors that Saddam was using them for a supercomputer.
I do have the odd anecdote, way back in the day, I was in a CompUSA in Dearborn MI and overheard a middle eastern guy at the counter asking if they had any PS2s. When they said no (this was a point where availability was low) instead he bought bought at least 5 (might have been 10?) PS1s.
I mean FWIW they could probably make those folks happy by just spitting out a list of everything to short because of ai disruption on each new release lol
Once upon a time I took an afternoon off to give a coworker a ride home when they got laid off mid day; their ride was a coworker who was required to finish his shift due to circumstances.
It was honestly rough because it was immediately raw for them however it was a good thing.
Fwiw my manager was the one who had to do the layoff and they did not have any issue with me suddenly taking the afternoon off to do the deed. That shop really tried to be as good as they could about it.
