  • One extreme defensive move for an enterprise would be to implement full redundancy for anything not hosted on-premises. Redundancy for data protection is relatively straightforward, but having multiple email, supply chain, or e-commerce services is very expensive and disruptive. What are the odds that it would even be needed? Whatever those odds were, they just became much higher.

    This is simply dumb. The odds are greater than zero. you must have a disaster plan. It sucks that MS did this but I don’t have much sympathy for anyone that decided to save money by ignoring DR.




  • Because the business model is designed around everyone paying the utility for consumption of energy when the should be paying for the availability of a service.

    When 50% of the people no longer pay, it’s not like the utility can deal with that. They still have poles to maintain and generation plants sized for peak load.

    To fix this we would need to pay a baseline service fee for the size of the panel. A home might have a 200 amp panel while a laundromat might have something much larger.

    Then, some nerds would need to figure out how to charge for consumption.

    But like I said, it’s not designed like this today. It’s designed around consumption only.






  • It’s not even that. It’s more like when all the cops are stationed at a protest, some people become aware that they can commit crime without repercussion. Including torching a car or breaking into stores.

    If you don’t want that, keep your cops dispersed and friendly

    LA would have been fine with small teams of cops wearing hardhats and less oppressive gear roaming around keeping the protesters safe.

    Heck, put together protest teams consisting of 2 cops, 1 lafd/emt, and 1 sanitation worker, just walking around providing community service. They’d be cheered as heroes.
