some years back I was the 'Head' of systems stuff at a national telco that provided the national telco infra. Part of my job was to manage the national systems upgrades. I had the stop/go decision to deploy, and indeed pushed the 'enter' button to do it. I was a complete PowerPoint Manager and had no clue what I was doing, it was total Accidental Empires, and I should not have been there. Luckily I got away with it for a few years. It was horrifically stressful and not the way to mitigate national risk. I feel for the CrowdStrike engineers. I wonder if the latest embargo on Russian oil sales is in anyway connected?

Come and see the kernel inherent in my system.

I go there quite a lot, and this is not my experience at all, i have awesome food there. A wise old sage told me many years ago to only eat vegetarian there, as bad meat can make you very ill, while bad veggies just give you the craps. I continue to eat both, and only get bad guts as often as i do when pigging out on kebabs in London or the States.
