Looks like they're doing some sort of geo-filtering. I wasn't able to sign up from Canada.

In the examples they provide at the bottom of the article - my instant reaction is - these tunnels can replace ngrok tunnels.

Yeah according to our logs, our messages started failing to send at Feb 26 13:01:24 UTC.

What does it say about Alphabet that I expected to see a: We're closing down Project Jacquard. After clicking the link...

This will be frustrating when Google decides (as they always do) to stop supporting the older hardware. I use the Home Edition for my parent's computer. The update process is virtually seamless for my parents and it just works.

What to do when they end support...

Why did they call them Plex? Come on Google! Plex is already a trademark.

Can we get a 2019 in the title?

A service I run on Digital Ocean was affected by this early this morning. Looks like it was mitigated by DO - so I'm very grateful for that. Although, the service I run is time sensitive so failures like this are pretty unfortunate for me. Where would I get started with building in redundancy against these sort of outages?

As an Albertan living in Edmonton and as per the feasibility study mentioned in the article, I don't think this is happening. That said, if by some miracle it does happen, that would be awesome!

Maybe AWS US East is going to be the region with random failures?

Even among all this antitrust talk I'm imagining a world where Facebook ends up acquiring TikTok.

I set up Cloudready on a Dell Optiplex 3020 for my parents. They like it and the maintenance I have to do is non existent.

Before that I had set up a ASUS CHROMEBOX-M004U. It had gotten too slow, especially with photo viewing and basic internet browsing - definitely unfortunate.

This should have a 2016 tag :)

Google sort of bundles this functionality into Firebase.

Check under the "app_remove" section.

Also, a blog post of how this was used in conjunction with Firebase functions.

I started as an early employee and grew into a "co-founder".

Definitely found this too. Josh Doody sounded crystal clear though.

No, but I spoke with an elementary school teacher at a Hackathon in 2015 and he introduced me to the concept of computational thinking which I think should be taught in the class room.

A lot of these devices are low-end so I can see that removing it is two-fold benefit:

1.) Making friends with the NSA. 2.) Improving performance on their devices.

Alberta, the neighbouring province I'm a resident of is considering something "similar". Here is a great article by Macleans: http://www.macleans.ca/economy/economicanalysis/heres-what-w...

I for one, as a citizen am in favour of shutting down coal fired plants that add to the particulate count in my air. I will gladly pay the extra $300-$500 to get rid of it :)

What cable do I buy to connect my Nexus 5 to an HDMI port? I feel that should be mentioned on the website. Will this do it:

Definitely a good to have service. Definitely feel that updating data is the biggest challenge. We have something similar in my hometown based of Edmonton based on linksf.

What's the real world analogy to Slack being down? Locking your entire team out of the offices?

Since the start, at our company we've used Slack. We have never experienced an outage like this. Definitely a strange and uncomfortable feeling not having Slack available.

This, absolutely this!

How about getshutdown.com?

I wonder what sort of ramifications this has for improving indoor location services for Google's connected properties.

My life has changed for the better since subscribing to the Economist in 2011. For me, it's not about paying for content (which is great) but for the 'feeling of being informed'.

After reading each issue I feel informed about what is going on around the world. This has sparked many conversations with people from around the world.

I hope that following this transition that 'feeling of being informed' will not go away and I have no reason to suspect it would.

If only I had local and regional news at such a calibre...
