I thought the plan was sandboxes and markdown files to tell AI agents not to be bad. Is that not enough? /s

Right. Let's do the same for drugs.

Irony aside, these platforms are addictive and polarizing by design. I doubt a little test will change anything.

Start with a 100 USD standing desk converter and use it for a while.

Upgrade to a full electrical standing desk later if needed.

Hear me out: what if office workers were allowed to work from home when possible?

I know it sounds like a crazy idea, but let's try it out one or two years and see how it goes.

Atlantis automatically locks the terraform workspaces changed by the PR. It will hold the lock until the PR is merged or closed.

Budget cuts every year, ministers more preoccupied by putting their name on a law or reform than to actually improve things.

Why isn't it good enough?

Wavefront is also using hit at scale.

From the list of talks at the 2019 FDB Summit, it also seems to be used at Segment, eBay and Uber

We already had a good sneak peek in Germany, when schools closed last year for some weeks due to the pandemic.

Popular video conferencing solutions weren't allowed due to privacy issues. The official "Lernraum" platform that have been used for this did not work most of the time.

I understand where these laws come from, but it's sad that there often is no European alternative

I don't need many, just one on par with the worst of the 3 major US clouds.

I'd even be happy with one that makes it in the top 10.

Please remember me for how long OVH was down when they lost an entire "DC"? And how much customer data did they lose?
Thank God we have very capable cloud providers in Europe that will rise to the challenge and offer a viable opportunity to the US major cloud providers!
The people in charge of the investigation should be totally independent from these scientists.

That would otherwise be an obvious conflict of interest.

Hopefully they will be as independent as the credit rating agencies are from the financial institutions they evaluate...

Backblaze B2 is a really good option for remote backups.

I use it to make daily incremental backups of my NAS, but you could replace the NAS by a USB drive.
