It says they're using her profile photo, which anyone could get by searching for anyone's name.

not necessarily, you could only get the picture if you could find her entry in the first place, which may be blocked as per privacy settings. And in any case a simple search picture is too small to be of any use anyways.

It isn't like he is being labelled in the school yard. This is business. This is life. He had excellent credentials and is still being pigeonholed because of his skin colour and heritage.

Oh no, I understand that, I had not heard about the story...I was more curious about what started it. :)

lol

when you said:

It seems around the net that it may have had to do with the locs...
I thought by locs you meant locations, ie facebook network, not dred-locs. :)

No asiaphile. An asian guy like me would beat up people like you..

Dude, honestly you're playing the anti-racism card a bit too much. Besides you're fighting fire with fire - being hostile to those that are racist against your culture. Just face it: racism will always exist, the media loves blowing these 'comments' out of proportion, and people regularly joke about stereotypes in jest (hopefully). For those that are serious about it or use racism as an excuse to fit in , just ignore them and get along with everyone else.

On topic: what happened to those other two Aileens: the one that made the racist comment and the one that was falsely accused of racism?

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
