  • Fun fact Cheetos are actually specifically designed to be messy as fuck because Frito Lay thinks it makes you perceive them as cheesier. This is despite everyone (I know at least) finding it extremely annoying and a downside. Truly capitalist innovation

  • Reading comprehension is dead

    Ken Birman, a computer science professor at Cornell University, told Reuters that “software developers need to build better fault tolerance,” suggesting Amazon could have done more to prevent the latest outage. “When people cut costs and cut corners to try to get an application up, and then forget that they skipped that last step and didn’t really protect against an outage, those companies are the ones who really ought to be scrutinized later,” Birman told Reuters.

    suggesting Amazon could have done more to prevent the latest outage.

    The professor is explicitly saying the opposite. The reason these blips from hyperscalers cause such widespread impacts is that the companies/applications that use these services don't bother to take any precautions against outages.

    The full context from the Reuters article is literally 3 sentences I don't understand how this "technology reporter" so fundamentally misunderstood what was being said

    Not trying to defend Amazon it just amazes me that this is what passes for journalism now.

  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, Slurpee/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Slurpee plus Linux. Linux is not a frozen carbonated beverage unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Slurpee refreshment made useful by the Slurpee core-ingredients, dispensing utilities and vital beverage components comprising a full drink as defined by POSIX.

  • US PPI inflation shock: Core producer prices hit 3-year high in July in 'head-scratching' inflation surge

  • Damn that's a real head scratcher all right, I wonder what could have done this.

    Seems like we have some stagflation in store for us. I think the odds of a fed rate cut are lower than the market is expecting if inflation starts creeping back up
