I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they’re pissed and silently fuming about it now.

The fundamental problem with this logic is that anyone dumb enough to have fallen for this in the first place (and to vote for Trump again in 2024) is more than dumb enough to fall victim to all the nonsense of the next election. There’s no way this momentary glimmer of rationality will survive an election campaign, and the utterly broken epistemology of these people is no closer to being fixed.

You really don’t see the risk of having no data centers you actually control as an organization?

This really depends on what you think you’re getting from having your own DC. Is it reliability? Flexibility? Control? What are your objectives?

There’s some argument to be made to have some locally hosted stuff for some flexibility and control. And in some niche cases the pricing of public offerings doesn’t make sense.

But as I said, if you’re building your own data center for increased reliability then 1) you’re necessarily assuming the premise that you’re going to be better at managing DCs than Google, Microsoft and AWS which I think in reality would be hard to prove let alone do, and 2) is hard to justify considering you can distribute workloads across multiple data centers already (as proven by the Netflix example) so that your reliability isn’t limited by any one vendor.

You’re kind of proving (part of) my point?

How? Their reliability would exist without that. There’s nothing inherent to their own data center that makes their setup that much better. Having a distributed system across multiple cloud service providers means your actual chance of downtime (here I mean inverse of uptime) is their individual chances of uptime multiplied by each other. In other words, they all have to go down for your service to fail. The catch is you have to use only commodity IaaS and PaaS, nothing proprietary to one CSP.

For smaller companies especially, in terms of pure reliability, there’s no reason to think that they would be better at running a high availability data center than Microsoft or AWS or Google.

Parallel distributed architectures give you the advantages of using public cloud (not having to physically manage your own data center) without the disadvantages (dependence on any one cloud vendor), while also potentially increasing your reliability beyond the reliability of any one of your cloud vendors . That is why Netflix is so rock solid.

If we want a truly robust system, yeah, we kinda do. This sort of event is only one of the issues with allowing a single entity to control pretty much everything.

What I’m advocating for is the opposite of “allowing one entity to control everything”.

Read about it dude. Netflix has a large presence in all major cloud providers (and they have their own data centers), but has a service whose uptime is NOT dependent on any one of those hosting environments. The proof is the pudding - Netflix service did not go down in the recent AWS outage, nor in the last one.

All of that can be achieved WITHOUT completely abandoning public cloud services and having to completely host all of the hardware for their services.

We don’t have to. It is entirely possible to engineer applications and services in a way that they’re not dependent on any one cloud service, while also using cloud services for IaaS. Netflix famously does this, and sure enough Netflix experience no service interruptions during this latest outage despite having a large AWS presence.

She won’t get the nomination. At most just maybe make some noise during the convention. Pretty sure the DNC has already decided to force Newsome though.

Why?

But nah, they’ll just shove AI into everything blow the equivalent of Wikipedia’s annual budget in a week on just electricity to shove unwanted AI slop into people’s faces.

You’re off my several order of magnitude unfortunately. Tech giants are spending the equivalent of the entire fucking Apollo program on various AI investments every year at this point.

Yeah dude the only one who thinks this is pointless is JD himself. Go shout your heart out tomorrow. I look forward to the fall of the evil empire by tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah, I don’t think the Americans who opposes what’s happening understand that they’re beyond the point where they can lawfully protest their way out of it. So long as stock market lines keep going up , the administration can just ignore these protests. Hell the media is complicit and won’t report how vast these protests are anyways.

If you want to put your conspiracy hat on, this is controlled opposition in that it acts as a pressure release valve for their opposition to exert themselves and feel like they’ve done something, without doing anything of real consequence.

Are there protests a necessary part of resistance? Perhaps. It keeps many people engaged than would otherwise be. But they are not even close to being sufficient. Remember , were like 8 months into this.

The clowns running America are trying to revoke visas for criticizing charlie Kirk. They have literally no leg to stand on.

If anything they specifically avoided the payment issue most of the time. Having a team of 5 specialists just working on a diagnosis for one patient at a time is extremely expensive and most people (even those with some kind of insurance) wouldn’t be able to afford this. If anything they glossed over this entirely on the show.

I mean this thread is about tech that was perfect from it’s inception to the point where it didn’t or barely improved. Nothing could be further from the truth, transistor tech has had literally trillions of dollars and millions of smart people’s careers poured into it, and semiconductor IC manufacturing is now the most complicated single activity that our species does.

So whether he TACO out or not doesn’t really matter for the harm he is doing in the meantime.

The disruptions and chaos are the only the worst part of this because everyone knows he will back down. Otherwise Chinese trade embargo itself would be far worse. If he actually did this the stock market would crash instead of just a hiccup, and the entire economy wouldn’t be far behind. So it absolutely matters whether he chickens out or not.

China and everyone else I think knows that this is just another round of market manipulation. He will back down since 130 percent tariffs are effectively a trade embargo and the US is still not positioned to be able to do that without economic calamity.

So the question is when he will back down and how. I think the same trick will work. He will implement it, do a whole song and dance about how he super duper means it this time, do a few other things to tank the stock market, and then he and his insiders will make big buys before backing down on everything.

It won’t. Not long term anyways. Most military members voted for the GOP despite the open disrespect trump showed them in his first term.

I remember the press conference Obama gave after he won. He literally look embarrassed by the whole thing.

Small potatoes in this pile of insanity but I don’t think “conspiracy to violate the constitution” is a valid cause of action so I’m guessing this will be summarily dismissed? Lol
