They had few seconds to shoot it down. They had to coordinate very well to achieve this.

This still does not prove anything, it could have been the Ukraine military as well, they have (just like any other ex-Soviet country) plenty of BUK missiles.

Amazon for a long time (maybe even today) used IRC for 1:N communication. I personally like IRC over anything else, but I am probably just too old... :)

MongoDB really? You are comparing a software product to a multi-region global data service? This is just not a great comparison. If you build a distributed global data service on MongoDB you could compare that to DynamoDB.

Yes it is without a date range. 99.999% / year means something while 99.999% uptime does not mean anything by itself.

It does not help that some of their maintenance staff is on 200K/y salary. Last time I have checked their wages it was pretty obvious that some of the staff is overpaid greatly. I also know some anecdotal stories about how employees exploiting the company.

Yet it is terrible. Almost as bad as driving without a license plate so you hit and kill somebody you can flee the scene and nobody would be able to identify you. But that does not happen, right?

I found entire criminal networks operating on PayPal and Ebay, when I reported the case to them they refused to deal with the situation. Basically the criminals were selling software that appeared to be legal but the serial keys were stolen from the vendors. When somebody realized what is going on they sent an email saying if you rate us on Ebay 5 star we give you back the money.
Ebay was more than happy to let these guys operate on their platform, I have supplied them all the evidence but nothing happened.

I think if he was doing this for real (for profit) even than it would be questionable to target linux since its market penetration is pretty low while the effort to make you game running on linux is pretty big. I am saying this after spending some time trying to make a popular game running on linux. The lack of common API that _all_ of the linux distros support equally and easy to use for game developers does not help.
Valve stats on different platforms:

It shows an accumulated 0.89% market share for all the linux distros combined.

Is there more information available on this one? I am not getting the concept of it...

It like help a friend move from a Ferrari to a tractor that was put together 10 different vendors. I friend who is a mechanical engineer with 10 years experience in building cars might like it but my peers who's technological knowledge is limited would like to use a product that was put together by a professional product team. This is why I gave up trying to move my friends to Linux, it is simply not as well integrated as MacOS or Windows. They get several problems that they cannot solve alone and I much rather help them on where to change something in Windows or MacOS than in Linux. Again, I am a senior systems engineer with 18 years of experience using Linux and other unix clones, including using them as desktop.

I am shocked that HN has some of these guys.
"Surface-to-air missile systems and complexes of division level are characterized by their long range and firepower and are equipped with surface-to-air missile complexes;S-300V,Osa, Buk, Buk-M1 and Tor."
2. No they did not need to do that, it was enough to park it closer to the zone
3. I am not sure what is this gibberish about, I did not mention anything about SBU or anybody else saying anything.
Thanks for the downvotes, even when you are obviously wrong. It is just showing how much HN lost its way.
