That would be the stupidest move in the history of stupid political moves. Drop old-as-fuck candidate who beat Trump before, replace him with old-as-fuck candidate who lost to Trump.
The issue, in this case, is more about Crowdstrike's broad usage than Microsoft's. The update that crippled everything was to the Crowdstrike Falcon Sensor software, not to the OS.
Funnily enough, they had a similar issue with an update to the Linux version of the software a few months ago, that didn't have these broad-reaching consequences largely due to the smaller Linux user base. Which means this is starting to look like a pattern, and there are going to need to be some serious process changes at Crowdstrike to prevent things like this in the future.
I think you're understating the power of the Presidency here. For one thing, they have veto power over Congress.
For another, many laws are broad and give a lot of leeway for interpretation, which is why presidents can accomplish a lot by executive order. As long as the Supreme Court doesn't step in anyway.
And third, don't underestimate the power of the bully pulpit. Presidents are looked at as the leaders of their party, and often set the legislative agenda. If a president says they want something done, their party members in Congress will find a way to get it done.
Biden sucks, but he can at least be convinced to do the right thing sometimes (and even if he can't, another election is four years away). Trump is a straight up fascist autocrat.
We absolutely should be talking about this story in the broader context of our society, including, yes, the election. I don't know what conversations you've had with that user in the past, but the election and our leaders should absolutely be brought up here. They are the people with the power to fix things, after all.
This is not a story uniquely about them, is my point. This story could be about any employer in Anaheim, or in many parts of the country. This particular one just happens to be about Disney.
You would have us ignore the context this story exists in, which is perilous. Even if Disney doubled everybody's salary overnight, that wouldn't fix any of the issues that brought us to this point; there would still be millions of workers who can't afford to live, just a few less. But that's the mistake everybody makes - "Look at these awful people! Aren't they awful?!" without looking at the broader issues that enrich awful people and encourage people to be awful.
If you truly want things to change, you should welcome this talk, not push back against it.
The Walt Disney Company is awful, true, but do not make the mistake of thinking they are uniquely awful. This is every company. This is the world we live in. The whole damn system is rotten to the core, and the people with the power to fix it either do nothing to do so or deliberately make it worse for their own benefit.
You know, it seems like a lot of plans have been coming out of the White House lately, that sound absolutely amazing. But given the timing, I have to wonder how much of this is them throwing anything they can at the wall to see what sticks.
Don't get me wrong, at this point, I'd vote Biden over Trump even if the man was literally comatose. But I'm just wondering if this is an attempt by the Biden admin to get any allies they can get in preparation for a convention fight and a difficult election when the candidate himself has proven to be unable to motivate people.
I've hated Hogan since the 90s, when I found out what a cancer he was backstage at WCW. Didn't help when I found out he's the reason wrestlers don't have a union.
For a lot of us fans, Hogan has been the devil way before we knew he was a racist POS.
Camacho wasn't that bright, and was in over his head, but at least he was smart enough to realize that, and he had the best interests of his people at heart. And when he found somebody who was smarter than him and might actually have solutions to the problems his people faced, he actually listened. Though he did sentence him to "rehabilitation" when the plan initially appeared unsuccessful.
For that alone, Camacho would be a better president than Trump.
My understanding is, it's just a matter of if the Crowdstrike updater service manages to connect to the internet long enough to download the patch before the core service takes a shit.
A "None of the above" option would resolve most of those issues.
If "None of the above" wins, a snap election is called a short time later (three months?), and no candidate who ran in that election is allowed to run in the snap election.
When people get sick with a respiratory virus, the updated guidance recommends that they stay home and away from others. For people with COVID-19 and influenza, treatment is available and can lessen symptoms and lower the risk of severe illness. The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.
So yes, the guidance is that you isolate until you are fever free and other symptoms are at least improving. The major change is that they don't recommend a fixed length of isolation anymore.
She'll have to be. Anybody else would be starting from square one, and that's a luxury we don't have right now.
