Maybe don't buy cheap crap or stop complaining that it is cheap crap? I really do not have that problem, but my power-strip was not the cheapest bargain-bin item either.
There are a lot of cave-men that think violence is a valid solution to any problem and that killing people they do not like is perfectly acceptable. Makes them part of the problem.
And we have how many working Thorium reactors and how many experimental ones that were shut down because they could not get the problems under control? Exactly.
And you will not get any bad news anymore. Short-term this may be nice, long-term it is a disaster. Is this agency staffed by complete and utter morons?
Indeed. The primary purpose of nuclear power is to make some people very rich via the lust for power of others (via nuclear weapons). The only place this form of energy generation is cheap is in space, due to low weight.
Funny how the pro-nuke faction always overlooks that there is not enough Uranium to make nuclear power long-term sustainable. Oh, and of course if we ever get off this rock, all that idiotically burned Uranium to generate power on the surface of the planet will come back to haunt us.
It pretty much looks like they had a cheap personal account (on which you should never, ever run anything critical) hence no SLA. So now they complain publicly about what is essential their own stupidity.
They did not have a DR plan _after_ this happened before. They did apparently not even buy enterprise grade cloud services, you know, those with an SLA. The problem is not the cloud here, but the utter morons that decided to use it in that way.
Ah, yes. And that is at the core of the problem. But since this apparently happened before and they did not learn from that, my guess would be they have far larger problems than the known unreliability of cheap cloud services.
You get what you pay for. They thought they could get much more than they paid for. 100% their fault. At the very least, they failed to evaluate what they actually got. And, since this is apparently the second time this happens, they also seem to be unable to learn.
I am an IT expert and you are completely correct. Mission critical infrastructure does not belong on an anonymous ElCheapo cloud that will pull crap like this. Sorry to the people affected by this, but it is 99% their fault for really messing up the decision about the appropriate infrastructure.
Ah, yes, _those_. The last time I had that, I told them that my hourly rate was $200 plus expenses and travel time and I would be happy to interview if they paid that in advance. Got the message across.

Microsoft does not even have real testers anymore....
You are seriously claiming the cave-men are not a problem? Fascinating. You _are_ scum.
No problem on the first one, just declare everybody a criminal. The US is almost there anyways.

Seems pretty likely. I would like to know how beer instead of coffee stacks up here... ;-)
Simple: What you actually bought is a straw-hut and what you were primarily using it for is excessive open-fire cooking...
You forget that this is the ElCheapo product. I have no love for Google, but here they are not in the wrong.

Well, if you do not mind cooling molten Sodium with water, sure.
Indeed. You know a society is in decline when keeping up appearances becomes far more important than solving problems.
And you will not get any bad news anymore. Short-term this may be nice, long-term it is a disaster. Is this agency staffed by complete and utter morons?
That should be ".... obstacle", of course.
At least that is the only reason I can see why this insanely irrational and extremely expensive form of power is used at all.
The demented children in the government need their nuclear toys. Cost is no objective.

There probably is just one problem here: Utterly incompetent and greedy management that made this demented decision.

Indeed. And if things are critical, you can do something about problems, instead of dealing with some anonymous robot.

Indeed. Disrespect breeds disrespect and prospective employers are the ones to set an example.
