So yeah, it's December. Current events include a shooting in Michigan and a TV doctor running for the Senate in a state he doesn't live in. Discuss.

facialimpediment posted:lol the shooter's parents are on the run Well... So much for the party of law and order? Also, not surprised at this at all. They didn't want to take basic responsibility regarding their child's mental health or the care and storage of their weapons, why would they face a trial?

MazelTovCocktail posted:So I’m wondering, I know odds are overwhelmingly that it was a tech or hardware issue. Bad actor is unlikely. Usually, when things like this happen (cloudflare outage, AWS outage, etc) it just provides a view on how little most places are willing to spend on infrastructure. These outages were from a single accessibility zone going down, AWS was designed to withstand that as long as you paid to use multiple accessibility zones. From what I saw/read, the consensus is that someone pushed an update that broke the management console access and some APIs.

RFC2324 posted:I really wonder how long amazon can keep the "you can't sue us for aws outages because we explicitly refuse to guarantee any uptime" poo poo up I think it will happen forever. AWS tells you to use multiple zones to avoid the issues that have occured. Also, even without any guarantees, they have better uptime than most.

FrozenVent posted:Wonder how much you’d need to advertise on Fox News to be the “good one” of vaccines. This is actually a good question. I'm sure a marketing company knows how much ad space is needed and the associated costs, but I wonder how much it would cost to inject the ads into the actual broadcasts. I know local stations (and every morning show by the looks of it) are notorious for doing this. Even if the cost was a billion dollars, wouldn't that be a net positive?

Marshal Prolapse posted:Honestly, I’d be lying to you if I said I knew the difference offhand. I just always remember the polls being damaged or flipping usually being a plot point/trope only in post apocalyptic fiction or sci-if thrillers. The infamous "magnetic pole shift" is the prepper wet dream. They believe that when the magnetic poles "flip" (north will be south, south will be magnetic north) that great catastrophe will occur. They also belief that stockpiling food, water, medicine, and guns/ammo will save them from this "extinction level event." A polar shift can make things annoying. It will likely have an effect on weather and the ozone layer. It won't be the final nail in out coffin though. Here is a good article explaining what is happening now, what has happened in the past, and what will likely happen in the future: https://www.livescience.com/18426-earth-magnetic-poles-flip.html

Looks like the military vaccine numbers are fully in. The Marines just announced that they have kicked out 103 people for refusing the vaccine. Also, the Army just relieved 2 battalion commanders over vaccine rejection. Looks like less than 4000 people have refused the vaccine. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/16/marines-army-kicked-out-covid-vaccine-525101
