Right up there with New Relic writing a blog post about how you couldn't trust Sumo Logic (and should move to NR) after they got bought by Francisco Partners, only to be bought by Francisco Partners themselves.
It was available for 6 years (2011-2017), that's hardly a failure relative to other Apple products that have only made it through 2 cycles (the most recently iPhone Mini sub-family that lasted 2 years).
It seemed like the initial Direct File rollout was limited to states that didn't have a state-level income tax, or directly cooperated with the IRS. Are they forcing all states to play ball, or will Direct File not cover state tax submissions?
Essentially. Take the Visa credit card lines for example -- Visa Infinite cards have a higher transaction fee than a Visa Signature card, and the high-end travel cards will be of the Infinite variety (Chase Sapphire Reserve).
It works (and is the best option bar-none) until the big few lobby the state to outright ban municipal ISPs as happened in my state (NC). So frustrating.
AWS has a UI for resources in the cluster but it relies on the IAM role you're using in the console to have configured perms in the cluster, and our AWS SSO setup prevents that from working properly (this isn't usually the case for AWS SSO users, it's a known quirk of our particular auth setup between EKS and IAM -- we'll fix it sometime).
My current company is split... maybe 75/25 (at this point) between Kubernetes and a bespoke, Ansible-driven deployment system that manually runs Docker containers on nodes in an AWS ASG and will take care of deregistering/reregistering the nodes with the ALB while the containers on a given node are getting futzed with. The Ansible method works remarkably well for it's age, but the big thing I use to convince teams to move to Kubernetes is that we can take your peak deploy times from, say, a couple hours down to a few minutes, and you can autoscale far faster and more efficiently than you can with CPU-based scaling on an ASG.
From service teams that have done the migrations, the things I hear consistently though are:
- when a Helm deploy fails, finding the reason why is a PITA (we run with --atomic so it'll rollback on a failed deploy. What failed? Was it bad code causing a pod to crash loop? Failed k8s resource create? who knows! have fun finding out!)
- they have to learn a whole new way of operating, particularly around in-the-moment scaling. A team today can go into the AWS Console at 4am during an incident and change the ASG scaling targets, but to do that with a service running in Kubernetes means making sure they have kubectl (and it's deps, for us that's aws-cli) installed and configured, AND remembering the `kubectl scale deployment X --replicas X` syntax.
They might not still have the game source and/or knowledge on how to recompile the game. There are lots of technical reasons that it might be entirely unworkable to do that even if they wanted to.
(disclosure: work in video games at a big studio where I know for certain there are things we couldn't build again at this point without a ton of work)
> CISA has observed widespread and active exploitation of vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure solutions, hereafter referred to as “affected products.” Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities in these affected products allows a malicious threat actor to move laterally, perform data exfiltration, and establish persistent system access, resulting in full compromise of target information systems.
My own experience with having our (now-lease-returned) Model 3 backs up collision repairs being more expensive. I live a major metro that has a single repair shop certified to work on Tesla vehicles. They have a multi-month wait, and they charge more to repair Tesla vehicles than the equivalent luxury vehicle because they can.
A newer luxury SUV with an MSRP 2x of our Model 3 had a lower collision premium on our car insurance policy.
I brought this up in another thread, but the floor level is a couple inches lower in the A320 series so the plane feels larger because you (both figuratively and literally) have more headroom, which I personally greatly enjoy.
One very tiny thing (well, big) that I love about the A320 family compared to the 737 family is that the load floor on the 32x is a couple inches lower which increases headspace (both real and perceived) making it feel like a less cramped plane. Love it.
Maybe I'm not trying to read books in the target market that my local library is trying to serve with what it has available on Libby, but I probably have a 5% success rate with books I'm trying to read actually being available on Libby.
(Setting aside the very hostile payment structure that Libby imposes on libraries, which makes it look far less attractive as a tax-payer now that I know how it works)
Reverse engineered the API that iMessage uses and made an app for Android making use of them (while charging a fee for it). There's more to it than that (what got them smacked originally was using fake device credentials for attestation), but that's the tl;dr.
