I'm a software engineer with expertise in distributed systems & edge computing with two years of professional full time work experience. Also co-founded a startup in ML & Healthcare and learned a lot from it.
I'm actually on a bridge call with Google Cloud, we're a large customer -- I just learned today that their status page is not automated, instead someone actually manually updates it!
It seemed to me like an open and shut case too, but no one at apple would listen. When you sign terms and conditions at dropoff, you basically sign away rights :/
Heathrow's power outage is much worse than Atlanta's, this is really bad. Allow me to make my point:
1. UK’s has one major airport to get out of the country—Heathrow. Gatwick and that lot don’t carry the same weight. When Heathrow goes down, you’re proper stuck. Atlanta has DC, Miami right there.
2. UK allows transit visas, so half the people transiting can’t even step out the terminal, what do they do when the airport is closed?
The US doesn’t allow that, everyone clears customs/passport control, so no ‘no man’s land’ limbo for stranded passengers.
3. Heathrow's outage is going to take 24 hours as of right now. That's twice Atlanta
This is going to replace the EB-5 which required a 800k investment, that you could get back with interest.
With this, it seems like a 5 million usd donation to the US government. Which makes sense and puts us in-line with other countries that have "weaker" citizenships. Just makes me a little sad because I was saving up to 1 million to get the EB-5.
