Plot here is quite thick. SF selling power to PG&E to distribute was found illegal/in violation of the Raker Act by the US Supreme Court in 1940 in United States v. City and County of San Francisco.
SF shifted to "wheeling" instead of selling power to PG&E and is tenuously in compliance now, but the current set up was never intended when the federal government ceded water and power rights from Yosemite to SF.

Firetiger is building self-driving software operations. We believe the future of DevOps isn't better dashboards (like Datadog), but autonomous agents that monitor, investigate, and remediate issues based on high-level business goals. We are backed by Sequoia Capital and founded by Rustam and Achille, former leaders from Cloudflare and Segment.
I've used it quite a bit/have vibe coded quite a few "real" things with it in various languages. It's a really nice complement to Cursor-style and claude-code style interaction modalities.
The amount of work required to stand up 330 well connected locations and then operate infrastructure to filter traffic at that scale profitably is more than "tossing" cabinets at problems.
Congrats on the launch. A small nit re: your pricing: you're charging for data transfer (bytes transferred over a long period of time), not bandwidth (bits transmitted at a point in time).
Major outages are periods of intense stress and extremely difficult to operate in. The folks troubleshooting may be many things, but careless and incompetent are unlikely to be among them.

Remzi gets bashful hearing this kind of praise, but I'll pile on. He's had a profound effect on me in the classroom and as a mentor. A lot of you probably use techniques Andrea and Remzi were directly involved in advancing -- MapReduce, in-FS checksumming, etc etc.
This book was already the the core of the intro OS class when I took it several years ago; it's only gotten better and more complete since then.
