It means they may have better access to improve rhe bunker.

One potential advantage of being up while a whole lot of other companies are down is that some customers may end up switching to you during an outage involving the majority of your competitors.

Yes, you’d experience outages on the new service, but where you potentially lose X% of your business (I have no idea what that kind of number looks like - 0.1%? Higher? Lower?), in the event of AWS outage hitting all your competitors, they each lose 0.1% (or whatever) who disproportionately go to you because you were up while they, and other alternatives, were all down.

This potentially advantages the first companies to jump off AWS for a comparable alternative, which is fair sight better than if the advantages only showed up once some minimum of companies left AWS since no one would be incentived to be first.

The order’s emblem is a garter circlet with the motto Honi soit qui mal y pense (Anglo-Norman for “Shame on him who thinks evil of it”) in gold script. Members of the order wear it on ceremonial occasions.

Carrying on the idea of the undergarment “garter”, this is fucking hilarious.

Further from Wikipedia:

Various legends account for the origin of the Order. The most popular involves the “Countess of Salisbury”, whose garter is said to have slipped from her leg while she was dancing at a court ball at Calais. When the surrounding courtiers sniggered, the King picked it up and returned it to her, exclaiming, “Honi soit qui mal y pense” (“Shame on him who thinks ill of it”), which phrase has become the Order’s motto. However, the earliest written version of this story dates from the 1460s, and it seems to have been conceived as a retrospective explanation for the adoption of what was then seen as an item of female underclothing as the symbol of a band of knights. In fact, at the time of the Order’s establishment in the mid-14th century, garters were predominantly an item of male attire.

I guess it is actually the undergarment. What a world.

Trump and his cronies head the organizations but do little real work themselves. Governments and bureaucracies actually function by the actions of hundreds of thousands of individual people who can each find ways to disrupt or slow things without necessarily threatening their jobs. If there’s not enough people to actually make the government get anything done, Trump’s words mean very little.

It’s a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle that, not only can no one agree what the picture is supposed to be of, but also a lot of folks want to burn some of the pieces - different pieces, for different reasons.

Yeah, I wasn’t exactly disagreeing.

T’was a poorly-marked joke.

Then tell them Trump has never won an election against a man.

Prosecution: “Your Honor, the definition of artificial is ‘made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally,’ and as all human beings are themselves produced by human beings, we are definitionally artificial. Therefore, the actions of an intelligent human are inherently AI.”

Defense: “The defense does not argue this point, as such. However, our client, FOX News, could not be said to be exhibiting ‘intelligence.’ Artificial they may be, but AI they are clearly not. We rest our case.”

They don’t and they do. They could blow up the filibuster for good, but they don’t want Democrats to be able to use the Senate fully with just 51 votes.

The defense rests.

The “law” they’re enforcing is Trump’s edicts. Immigration law as it’s existed for some time doesn’t call for this kind of action. Trump doesn’t get to write law, that’s for the legislature. He’s there to carry out and enforce existing law, not create it, not reinterpret it, not ignore it, and CERTAINLY not to gaslight the American people about it.

The way Trump treats law is literally un-American.

“And my Senate.” I meant, “I am the axe.”

Shit, I have notes here somewhere.

I love the one response I saw, “wouldn’t that make Katie Miller a sexual bull?” Because there are so many different ways to take it from there, and many don’t paint Stephen Miller in the lights he’d rather be seen publicly.

A fool and his money aren’t necessarily parted soon enough.
