But 66 years ago, it was predicted that we would all be dead because of a population explosion that would see us all starve or otherwise die because of too many people..
It was published in Science magazine….
The science was settled …then.
(Like anything “scientists” claim is ever accurate or settled…then, or now)
Funny, that.
a DDOs type attack to me:
“The system was “Overwhelmed with data”….” according the FAA spokesperson.
Yes, the FAA is using “outdated technology”, but still….blaming the equipment doesn’t explain the data issue…..that answer is too pat.
Or it could have been a staged outage to help them get the funding to upgrade.
Thing is, the FAA chose not to use the funding they had to update their tech equipment over the years, but instead used it to increase their bureaucracy over the past 20 years or so. I guess small incremental fixes don’t generate enough kickbacks….
ETA: Both the FAA and Microsoft are stridently proclaiming that “this was an Infrastructure issue” and “not a cyber attack“. Oddly, they are saying the exact same words about the (supposedly) unrelated “outages”…Coincidence?
Soaring Electricity Costs Force Britain to Rethink Its Green Agenda
2x higher than in Europe, and the British industry just can’t compete at the prices they are forced to pay for “Green” electricity.
Plus the costs of the loans for the windmills are eating the Brits alive
Microsoft (and reportedly some Amazon Web Services and some Google Web Services servers) are still down, nearly a day after the initial reports of failure.
‘Tis an odd coincidence, all of them… I doubt that it is just a traffic issue….
This failure may be upstream of the servers, or it may be a cyber attack.
But the reports from some Google services and some AWS servers would indicate higher level than just the Microsoft 360 server family.
One wonders if it is China, Iran or some Ukrainians…
That were promised (but unspecified) by the newly elected senators and such for all the issues that the Democrats ran on (and apparently won their respective seats over)
I expect that on January third we will have an extreme bunch of changes coming to our government to fix all of those issues,
(Yes, that was sarcasm).
I fully expect that there will be no fixes, but there will be (lots) more government spending and increased immigration…..and none of their voters will hold them responsible for fixing the issues they ran on.

Thanks to each and every person who is a Veteran.
I appreciate your service.
Greatly.
so now that oil is dropping in price again (As of posting WTI crude is down below $85 per barrel)
are we ever gonna start refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve again?
How about all those companies that were “loaned” the oil? when are they gonna put it back?
When are we gonna get our strategic reserve back to what is was designed for?
To all the Marines reading this.
