  • The actual numbers:

    For every $1 given to each of the 1000 test subjects, income dropped by $0.12 cents on average. That means that the overall drop in pay was $12 per month, or less than 2 hours per month, at minimum wage.

    Now, let's extrapolate more info from this:

    Prior to receiving $1000 per month, the average income was $30,000 per annum , which is ~$14.42 an hour. This means that the average number of hours worked dropped less than an hour a month.

  • I'd be looking to see who made the most shorting the stock.

    A corrupt file wouldn't be nulled. I've never ran across a file with all zeroes that wasn't intentional.

  • There aren't any backbone outages right now that are being discussed. Many servers that run MANY services are on Windows, using Crowdstrike. Flights, banks, entertainment (some Netflix, for example).

    The overall result: it looks like a backbone outage, but isn't.

  • Article has been updated with the root cause - Crowdstrike. The reason is simple: Azure has tons of Windows systems that are protected with CrowdStrike Falcon. Crowdstrke released a bad version that is causing boot loops on Windows computers, including Windows VM servers.

  • People who would sit at home and not vote may be more likely to vote. I hope every able person votes, but this may turn the tide if the other side doesn't turn out in full force.

  • every family has crazies. With that said, we don't know who it was, their reasoning, or their political leaning.

  • "I'm always the victim, if you ignore my past actions!"

    I'm out. Later Felicia.

    2. There's always the mod logs.
