Amazon to spend $12b on five more datacenters in Oregon
Saturday 7th May 2022 20:52 GMT 
The outlet reports that over the past five years Amazon has secured tax breaks in Morrow County worth $161 million, including $47 million last year.The sprawling online bazaar is the single-largest taxpayer in the county having paid more than $25 million in taxes and fees in 2021, albeit according to Amazon.
Looks like Morrow County is onto a winner there...

Re: Too early.
Have you seen the cycle lane on the A3 near Guildford and Godalming? Basically they painted some bikes on the side of the road and popped some signs up and they expect the cyclists to cross each slip road where the vehicles will be doing 50-70MPH.
I guess it's to game the cycle stats, there's no way that anyone sane would ride on them!

Never quite done that - networking tends to not have that many comments in it. Closest I got was to one difficult link which happened to use clan 666 to refer to the supplier…
In a previous I had the less competent of our network team create a new VLAN for me which for some reason was rather hard as it involved some weird switch configuration. It turns out he numbered it 666...

Japan seeks to decentralize datacenters
Wednesday 13th April 2022 07:02 GMT
It's interesting that Japan is trying hard to make its infrastructure more resilient by having more datacentres whilst the rest of the industry seems determined to put as much as possible into a few datacentres operated by AWS, Azure etc. We've already seen how when one of the big Cloud vendors has a problem the problems are quickly seen throughout the globe...

Day 7 of the great Atlassian outage: IT giant still struggling to restore access
Amazon’s cloudy desktops creep towards cloudy workstations
Tuesday 12th April 2022 12:22 GMT
The new instances aren’t cheap - $537 and $959 a month respectively – but it’s also possible to pay a monthly reservation fee and hourly rental. Bringing your own Windows license knocks a few dollars off the monthly fees and a few cents off the hourly rate.
For those prices you could easily buy a similar spec on-prem work station for your office in a couple of months... Obviously if your data are in AWS then it does make some sense to use a workstation there, but I just can't see how/why you'd want to use these otherwise...
HCL and HP named in unflattering audit of India’s biometric ID system
Tuesday 12th April 2022 09:25 GMT 
At this point readers may be wondering who ran UAIDI’s technology, because not archiving data or checking stakeholder security suggests they did not do it brilliantly.The answer is HCL – the Indian services giant was awarded a contract to manage UAIDI tech in 2012 and still has a role today.
Sounds like HCL didn't use an ACID-compliant database
Dell trials 4-day workweek, massive UK pilot of shortened week begins
Monday 11th April 2022 12:08 GMT
Re: There s no way to buy more time
My work is based in Basel on the border with France and Germany so we have lots of people coming over the border every day. My Company's policy of work "remotely if you want" can't apply to those coming over the border each day for social security reasons[0] so there is a bit of a two tier system here (which some people really resent).
[0] Each person coming over the border needs to basically come to work for four days a week

Meta's plans to build hyperscale DC in Netherlands on hold
Wednesday 30th March 2022 14:25 GMT 
Some might view the construction of this particular DC in the Netherlands as a way of dealing with the increasingly thorny issue of data sovereignty, meaning the information on Facebook's European visitors would be kept in Europe. However, with the US seemingly supporting stateside storage of EU citizens' data, Meta might be less worried about pumping the brakes.
A future change of American government could probably change this in an instant.
DARPA to build life-saving AI models that think like medics
Wednesday 30th March 2022 11:30 GMT
Re: This is one case where an AI will never be better
If you saw the Falklands War programme on Channel 4 last Sunday then there were all sorts of claims about stupidity and competition between senior officers leading to many injuries and deaths. They also claimed that if the Argentines had got to one hill over Port Stanley ten minutes earlier then the British forces would have been annihilated and the war might have gone the other way...
