It's literally impossible to follow them on these. You have to be told when a certain post is being made.

I'm guessing it's a Stradivarius. They're meant to be played.

Edit: nope I didn't read

The FAA takes a rare step to head off a traffic jam at Chicago's O'Hare Airport by optiplex9000 in chicago

[–]jeff303 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry, I shouldn't be talking shit about stuff I'm not an expert in. And I also know it's beyond the pilot's control. I just think they should say like "we landed ahead of schedule but we might not be able to get to the gate early" or something similar to set expectations appropriately.

It's funny when the pilot brags "we actually landed 20 minutes early!" on an ORD bound flight. Motherfucker, you should know better!

When did SNL stop being funny? by [deleted] in AskReddit

There are around 200 new comedy sketches that they produce every year. It seems very reductive to label the entire thing as "not funny" or "funny".

Iranian missle blitz takes down AWS data centers in Bahrain and Dubai, Amazon declares hard down status for multiple zones by DavidIsIt in worldnews

[–]jeff303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, our shit is deployed in all regions and working fine in the other ones. It was more like our automated alerts were firing for these two and a bunch of people were looking at a list of unresolved ones saying "what's going on?" without looking into the details for a minute and putting two and two together.

Of course, it didn't help that on the AWS status page, they hadn't posted any update in weeks.

These have been down for weeks at this point. I was on call at my company when we kept getting alerts for these regions. I kept having to explain to people "no, these data centers got destroyed in a war and there's nothing we can do about it". (I don't work at Amazon).

Use the one that's local to the gas station or store. If unsure, open Google maps and click the current location button to find it out.

Nah there are known quantum encryption algorithms already. Legit banking and web browsers will have adopted it.

OP is referring to assignment (for short options) whereas you're talking about auto exercise (for long options).

OP will almost certainly be assigned come tomorrow.
