nah, i generally agree with you on single points of failure, i just don't agree that it would go on as long as 2 weeks. 24-48 hours i can believe, but at the absolute worst case I'd also expect anyone with minimal competence to have a plan to spin things up from the latest offsite backup somewhere else. (minimal competence is a big statement though). Even redundant setups can go down altogether from a fatfinger or automation gone wrong (see almost any outage from FAANG)

never heard of those taking out a data center, but i'm not highly educated on that one.

government datacenter will be first in line for fuel, generators, etc. A destroyed gov. datacenter would be the start of much more serious things to worry about.

yeah, this one _is_ a little embarassing, but people who have to go to hotspots != datacenters
I still wish other smart watches behaved like a pebble, the interface was so intuitive you could use it to do the basics without looking at it most of the time.
It's like trying something so good it ruins every other one for you. The UX was just so well thought through i don't know how to explain it.
Yes yes there's not a single soldier in all of Europe. Every soldier, tank, and airplane is American. No other military technology exists. America great.
Seriously, I'll grant the most advanced stuff is American but you really think everybody else only has sticks, stones, and water pistols?
This is about way more than a few tariffs. Think Venezuela, think madman jizzing over the idea of invading greenland, or just throwing tantrums on an international scale.
Tall people don't choose their height, fat people (mostly) choose their weight.
Edit: also, if the airline can't deal with a certain percentile of the population under their normal product, they should figure out how to make it happen. It's discrimination to not account for tall people
ah yes, the polish that keeps begging you to give them your address for your "own safety"
the polish that can't even delete your entire spam folder half the time
the polish that asks you to verify you own your own email address via email if you want to add an alias to send an email from your own domain (e.g: if you have wildcard inbox and want to reply from one of the addresses you used)
the same polish that gives you no results if you search "one" and the email actually contains "oneword" - you know, search, the thing google is known for.

The original statement stands.
