I was just researching what is the best washing machine cleaning product, and tripped over a delightful five-star review on Amazon, wherein, after describing the olfactory crisis that precipitated the purchase in the first place, the author of the review said with great approval, "My washer stopped smelling like American politics after I used this product."

Other companies have been gutting their operations and security teams. I don't care what they say, the large majority of jobs they eliminated were actually necessary. They've been outsourcing to vendors to cover the gap. Sometimes bad things happen.Hachyderm.io
Case in counter-point: you could call it broken ticket-toss buck-pass subculture perversely incentivized.
We said "no agent complexity, or if you must, it will have phased and tested/metered roll-outs of changes". We were adamantly overruled. They said "we accept the risk of total revenue outage if this agent breaks catastrophically" and (Catch-22) "you must still ensure no outage" and "you must get budget elsewhere to completely re-engineer your service".

It's happening again!!! They're trying to put the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) up for a vote:
thehill.com/policy/technology/…
As I've written in the past, KOSA is a censorship nightmare that'll drive LGBTQIA+ folks out of social media spaces and suppress any content that Republicans think is harmful to kids.
Please call your reps NOW, especially your Senators. If you have a Republican senator, tell them you're worried this bill will impose an unfair burden on small businesses.
There's an interesting phenomenon in tech where centralization leads to failures being correlated, correlated failures are more likely to be talked about in the media, and that leads to a psychological perception of centralization leading to higher failure rates.
Case in point, CrowdStrike. Let's say we have a hundred small AV vendors instead of just one, and all of them experience one critical failure every five years. This is much worse than CrowdStrike. your chances of experiencing a failure as a customer of any of these vendors are much higher. Yet, if a failure happens, no media organization is going to care, because it's only going to affect a handful of companies at most. Your hospital's computers will go down a lot more often on average, but you don't visit your hospital that often. Because it's just your own hospital that is affected on a given day, you probably won't even know. No media organization is going to care and write scandalous news stories about how their AV vendor is mismanaged and putting their patients at risk.
Same applies to AWS or even Mastodon. Your instance may go down twice as often as X and for twice as long, but you probably won't even notice most of these outages. If X goes down, though, it goes down for everyone, the media write about it, and you know that it went down even though you otherwise wouldn't even notice.
This creates a weird perception and bias against centralized services in people's minds.
Sean Randall reshared this.
@oblomov Well, it depends on how you define "the service".
In the context of hosting services for example, even if AWS goes down 10 times less often than your average small datacenter, people are still going to have an image of AWS going down often and small datacenters rarely ever going down, because the failures of AWS, rare as they may be, affect lots of users *at once*, and are therefore worth making a news story about,
@oblomov I don't know if this is the metric that matters to people.
I think that if you asked a consumer whether they'd prefer all airlines to be down for one day every year or each airline to be down for two days, where the outages are uncorrelated, they'd answer the latter. Airline execs definitely would.
I mean, consider an extreme case where the failure means death, and compare the difference between a chance where everybody gets killed *at the same time* (extinction) vs individual scattered (but more likely) deaths.
