They are restricted. California has an insurance commissioner who has to approve any rate increases. It’s probably easier to stop insuring then to get the rates up to the profitability margin their risk models are suggesting are appropriate.

For the record I did not downvote.

But I capitulate on your point. It would be great if every piece of software was written with resilience and uptime in mind.

As a former sysadmin that sounds like a dream. But I don’t think I have ever seen that with any mainstream program that I’ve had responsibility for. Does that mean all those programs were bad? I don’t think so. We wouldn’t need sysadmins if all programs were written the way you describe.

Programs can be written to auto rotate their logs, compact and reindex their db’s. Using browser updates as an example, they can even safely auto update and revert back on failure.

How many programs actually do these things? My experience is next to 0. But I wouldn’t call them all bad or poorly written programs.

Were they a total solar eclipse? Because those are way different then partial and I think qualify as once in a lifetime event.

No. Every good software program should write at least logs to disk. Every good database writes to disk. Add a new post, db will commit to the db and the db will grow in size.

Name any decent sized program where new content is added and I guarantee it writes to disk and will fail eventually if not maintained.

I’m think your saying the one on the right is a bird. But then you have to consider the documentary about the one on the left learning to fly. So if I guess both animals are birds.

Don’t feel too bad, not only is 30 an arbitrary number, he doesn’t account for folks too young to understand something. I don’t think a 2 day old baby learning about the mentos thing should count. So either it’s more than 10,000 people per day or the age should probably stretch out to 60 or maybe even 75.

Of corse there are also the people like me who are forgetful and may not remember they heard something!

I agree with your disagreement. One of the biggest mistakes was folks trying to create 1:1 analogs of every subreddit. A single big community can have a lot of varied interesting discussions. If it gets too big, folks can get together and start a separate sub topic community for whatever topic warrants it.

Yes I agree launches get scrubbed all the time. My point was that Boeing hasn’t crossed the finished line by any measure of complete.

Looking back, they were trying to say they were done as soon as they launched the first uncrewed flight test. Heck even after it didn’t make it to the space station they were still trying to claim success.

Being finished means actually getting NASA to agree to regular operations. That has not happened yet, and it won’t happen until after this mission lands.

Premature to say that they finished. Launch tonight was scrubbed. Even this launch is a test flight. Let’s see how long until NASA approves for regular flights

Did you build this box? Could be cpu thermal paste not properly applied.

A piece of kit that has root access. No game should have that level of access to your system.
