Interesting: Gamers pissed that Blizzard punished a Hearthstone player for his 'liberate Hong Kong' remark are punishing Blizzard back by trying to get one of its products banned in China, turning a video game character into a pro-Democracy meme. https://www.polygon.com/2019/10/9/20906320/overwatch-mei-blizzard-hong-kong-protest-banned-memes

The linked article brings this home hard; Blackboardโs rep keeps saying how much CIOs will like it. At no point do they even mention the user.

Software companies can be breathtakingly clueless when there's a layer of indirection between them and their users. Everyone who's suffered through Blackboard will have the same reaction to this: try having less functionality! https://edscoop.com/how-canvas-caโฆ

Other than some wiring tidying and installing a new wifi AP at the back of the houseโฆ It looks like the #NetworkingProjectOfDOOM has been completed. All IoT devices are segregated onto their own network (โThe S in IoT stands for Securityโ) and cables are sanely arranged!

FEMA said today it doesnโt have financial funding approved to build a new hospital in Vieques, Puerto Rico. The people in Vieques have been without a working hospital for 2 years. Hurricane Maria forced the closure of the old one.

Another reason that "target Kubernetes as a portability strategy" is appealing is that you get to pretend that Kubernetes is the whole world. That's still a fiction that will bite over and over again.

Iโve moved thousands of kilometers for work; I left my small city in the north of Alberta for a job, and immigrated to the US for an opportunity.
