I don't know. Personally I'm a fan of Piyu style reeducation (or at least a more modern and humane version of it).

That's just a superficial reading of the news.

But there's another level. Why did the dentist kill his wife? Was it some chemical dentists use that needs to be forbidden or at least regulated? Was it a mental health issue that points to failings in the healthcare system? Was it a problem with how he was a raised as a child that can be used to inform education policies? Can the dentist be redeemed or should he just be punished?

And on an even deeper level, should we as a society even care and intervene or should we move to a sociopathic mindset of embracing full individual responsibility and no collective responsibility at all?

That doesn't help if they have software that assumes it can reach all sites. I remember a few years ago AWS had a EC2 outage in eu-central-1 because of 1 of the Availability Zones went down and the service that allocates instances threw a 500 when it failed to get that AZ's capacity instead of just allocating the instances to the other 2 AZs.

Instagram was already forcing people to self-censor before TikTok became a thing

Social media forcing people to see self-censorship as normal has to be in the top 5 of the most harmful things they are doing.

At this point they should just rename it.

London bridge can be renamed to "Disappointing Bridge".

Culturally speaking, it's pretty cursed to use some units that are specific to a country instead of the global standard for science. Extra cursed if it's for serious engineering (just ask NASA).

Because it implies you are using US Costumary/Imperial units for science or "fancy" engineering.

AWS SLOs are going to shit aren't they?

500 million justifies using some very fancy data recovery means, as long as he's sure it's the right drive.

European Spanish calls it Piña, and Brazilian Portuguese calls it Abacaxi.
