I love the irony of how Google Cloud monitoring uptime checks (which are currently broken) are not a monitored service on status.cloud.google.com

WHAT TO DO WHEN ASKED FOR YOUR PROOF OF VAX

Amazing that in 2021 Mirvish Productions still can't get a website that remains even remotely functional under high demand.

If the new Omicron variant tells us anything, it is that we are all in this together. Failure to vaccinate populations anywhere leads to risk everywhere, no matter our reactive travel restrictions that feel more performative than effective. We simply must vaccinate the world.

GOD'S TECH SUPPORT

Conservatives went from “Trudeau won’t get us vaccines ‘til 2030” to “Trudeau bought too many vaccines” to “I won’t take Trudeau’s vaccine and you can’t make me” in, like, a year.

as a Canadian, this is how it feels watching American elections these days

😬 Google Cloud, having issues in us-east1? Google Cloud Tech

Embarrassing for Canada to draft such a dumb bill into law.

Blazing fast internet from space. Starlink is an amazing game changer.

Me at family 🎄 Christmas 🎅 to the non-Tesla owners Elon Musk

Can confirm - at TezLab, we are showing price reductions at at least 95 locations across Canada, median of $0.11/kWh

The amount of time people spend freaking out about EV range online compared to the 0 time i’ve spent worrying about range as an EV driver for the last 6 years is hilarious

I find the media’s takes on SpaceX’s achievement utterly outrageous. It’s straight out of Ayn Rand novels. What is the game here? Usually incentives explain these things but there isn’t even a follow the money type motive that I can detect? It’s just tribalism? nihilism?

Something wrong with this chart, but I can’t quite figure it out 😂

Glad to see we’re on track to elect someone who can’t even get through the briefest of condolences without injecting a campaign slogan. Gross.

Is Starlink the right solution here? Absolutely it is. But leave it to government to spend $100M on something that has a publicly available sticker price of $7.5M 🤦🏻‍♂️ Setting up Starlink is literally idiot proof. The ~$93M spread here is insane. Just create tax rebate. Done.

This was entirely predictable and predicted. I’m hearing lots of stories like this. It’s crazy to stick this massive complexity on small businesses that are already being eviscerated by the bad faith Canada post strike. Civil servants need to do better for us.

Also, over 70% of Canadian voters have a college education. Turns out, when voters can read past Facebook memes, democracy works a little better.
