I'm pleased that the scammers have been walloped, but what about the true victims of their fraud, the "customers"? Will they get any form of compensation too?

Just two hours on a Pendelino from London's Euston station could bring you to a wonderland of cheap(er) beer, affable people unafraid to strike up conversation with strangers, and the undeniable benefit of cheap housing.

Netflix reveals massive migration to new mix of microservices, asynchronous workflows and serverless functions
Tuesday 2nd March 2021 08:29 GMT
At the scale of Netflix, I always wonder if it'd be cheaper to do it all on prem like Dropbox decided to do a few years ago. For this kind of bursty workload having a $CLOUD autoscale is nice, but for other workloads it's probably cheaper to run your own hardware. Also, most Clouds clobber you on data egress which is bag news for a media streaming platform.
I'd love to see their figures!

Heat?
The irony of building an energy-intensive system to tackle climate change was not lost on the researchers. They noted in their paper that the future super should be built at a location where its nodes can run on more renewable energy sources
It'd also be good if the ~20MW of heat could be used for heating or other purposes

Re: "repurpose existing drugs"
Sure, proper clinical trials are needed to establish facts with scientific rigor, but apparently millions have been treated with it and they're still alive to talk about it.
Deaths in COVID-19 patients actually rose in one trial compared to the control.

Intel sues former staffer for allegedly stealing Xeon cloud secrets in USB drives and exploiting info at Microsoft
Monday 8th February 2021 10:49 GMT
By this time Intel had asked Microsoft for help. The Windows giant, we're told, discovered the first drive had been used within its walls, including on Gupta’s Microsoft-issued PC.
Is anyone else surprised that MS didn't block USB drives? I'm assuming there's someone in the company who knows how to do it...

Re: Cassandra
There's absolutely no need for the camera images to be accessible outside the house, live or otherwise. Being able to watch the burglars live isn't going to be of any help. The images can be used later for evidence.
I kind of disagree, an offsite backup* of these data would be very sensible, A burglar could well pinch your PC or NAS recording the images; or even pinch the camera if it records to an SD card.
* Of course I mean a system with decent security, not one that lets a pervy employee watch.
