Microwave is also affected by weather. They sometimes say that markets are slightly less efficient on rainy days. It’s a bit of a joke, but basically packet loss goes way up and they rely more on fiber links when microwave links are being shitty.

You make a contract with a company that does layer 3 ddos protection, you advertise a route including their AS on a subset of your prefixes and they route to you over a GRE tunnel.

Kagi has the same problem for me. The results don't load about 50% of the time. I had to cancel my subscription because I couldn't just roll the dice every time I searched to see if it would come back. Happens to all devices on my network.

The budget is already approved, the debt limit has nothing to do with it, it's just a cudgel with which one party bludgeons the other. It serves no other purpose.

Unfortunately (in the case of TRUST stores) it uses pkcs12 in a non-standard way. You cannot, for example, use openssl pkc12 to create a p12 store java can read. Java expects some oracle-specific non-standard attributes on the bag.

PKCS12 keystores work fine, however.

This is absolutely true. Checking if their reports are going to be impediments to their goals is critical for managers, especially if those goals were themselves aligned with THEIR managers. You don't want to assign significant responsibility to someone who might drag their feet on something.

I've never seen a response indicating the content is not subject to negotiation. I generally only see that the response is not acceptable (i.e. the client has indicated they can't accept it) and the server skips processing the request.

When I worked a summer at BJ's (a similar wholesale club) the manager informed me that this was by design. I was asking why we needed to move all the stuff, if we were discontinuing or something. He said nope, we just have to do this every now and then because it keeps people shopping longer. There may be an added "experience" element to it as well, but this was an eye opener to me as a teen.

Better down the drain then to radiate it back into your air. Then you gotta spend more energy pumping that heat outside (if you live in a hotter climate like I do).

If you look at (at least one) of the recent articles (try AP or reuters), the board mentioned that the deal is still subject to both shareholder and regulatory approval. That's where it is. Shareholders still have to vote, and the concept of "fairness" will be roughly equal to that of democratic elections. Sometimes the majority votes for a thing and the minority has to accept it in order to make progress.

The board basically voted to stop standing in the way of the deal and submit it to shareholders themselves since they confirmed that A) it seems like an ok deal and B) it's likely to not waste everyone's time.

When I was instructed to deliver someone's layoff paperwork I had to do this. I scheduled a meeting with the guy with no good purpose, just a meeting in a weird room nobody usually uses for meetings (we were laying off a lot of people). He immediately asked me what it was for, and of course I couldn't answer. He knew then exactly what it was about.

They can start the process. Once that process is started your career inside the company is basically over. Even if you survive it (and/or survive the PIP) you will not want to work there anymore. May as well be fired at that point.
