And no updates correct right? to have 100 % Up-time you must never do updates.

Exactly. Even the Global Stock Markets have down time for maintenance and patching.

A better way to look at this is I'm in the camp of "carry your own weight".

Don't expect others to pick you up after you.

because the chances that MS's DC is going to blow up is extremely small

And yet, it is what this thread is about ... exactly that happening.

Except that it's Amazon, not MS.

Same difference, though. Think about the number of issues that some folks have with Microsoft.

Paging @scottalanmiller !!!

There wasn't an clause way back when you signed up for the student loans that if you paid for them for 20 years the debt would be forgiven. There certainly wasn't a clause at the time saying that if you went and worked for the Government a portion of the loans would be paid back.

You're essentially making $63000 back over the term of this "gift". That's a lot of money.

That isn't given equally.

There isn't a clause in your loans that you will get a job after at all, but you don't get upset if people find jobs after going to school, right?

No because that it their responsibility. Get a job and pay your debts.

Watching the Apple Event...and I'm a Microsoft / Android guy...

So which existing, old technologies are they adding to their new stuff this year? They always seem to be a decade behind android on so many things.

I try to be objective with the Apple Announcements since the senior staff prefers iPhones but so far, I've seen nothing earth shattering...

All iPhones have been announced...seems like they have matched the Note Series and Pixel Phones on some abilities on the Camera...and they have simplified the naming convention: .iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro MAX. They will continue to sell the XR and iPhone8 in the coming year.

Interesting - they are keeping the iPhone 8.... is that because it's the last phone with a fingerprint reader?

Likely because many people don't / can't spend <1000 for a f***** phone so they need a low end model to sell to the masses.

OK - yeah.. that's better than I was expecting..

Yeah that's inline with the Pixel 3 prices as well.

RAIN over RAID

This is likely the answer. I found this: Drath of RAID and am reading it.

I don’t see many diagrams on it, or much on it really- maybe I’m not searching the right term(s).

Of course there are no diagrams, ML is to discuss, not a hand book on how to setup an exact system. Everything you're being asked to do is going to require RAIN, but the specifics of how it's setup is going to be completely unique to this environment.

I as someone who's paid every penny of my student loans haven't received a government benefit from paying my bill.

Why should you get a benefit for working for a government agency receive a benefit that isn't / wasn't available to me?

@dustinb3403 It could be available to you. You are not barred from working for a non-profit or the government. How is it any different than a company saying if you work for 'x' amount of years we will pay off your student loans or a company saying we will pay for you to go back to school?

Because the tax payers are the people are paying off your bad choices.

I chose to bust my ass and get a good paying job so I could pay my debts, because I don't want to be in debt forever.

You / me / and anyone else with college loans agreed to the terms on the loan. You can't go and change them after you get dealt a shit hand at life.

What he's asking is, if you got a job today that agreed to go back and pay for your schooling that you already paid for, how would that be different? And they are free to do so.

But no one would. Absolutely no business would say "oh hey look you have 200K in paid-off student debt, let's give you that $200K if you work for us for 7 years".

That doesn't happen. You signed up for that debt, it's your job to pay it off by getting the job that pays you enough.

Or overstock of iPhone 8's and XR's perhaps?

Enough of an overstock to keep a model around for an entire year (globally). You're possibly talking millions if not 10's of millions of overstock.

That seems unlikely that Apple would miscalculate so badly and produce so many more than needed.

@IRJ In the distance? That thing could reach out and touch it.

Which also raises the question is the 170TB 1 full backup, or some combination.

What torqued my wife and I off was that a new program was put in place for teachers to have gov't funded loans forgiven, but she didn't qualify because she was before the start date they picked. But of course all the teachers since then.... HUGE reduction in student loan fees.

All of that said - I'm with Dustin in that the government shouldn't be using public money to put people through college. The government, often requiring college degrees, just furthers a system of waste and control.

I'm the opposite, the gov't should put everyone through college. It's the picking and choosing that is the problem.

I'm not against fully funded community college for everyone. I'm against forgiving debts that people have promised to pay back because a person is unable to find a higher paying job.

You agreed to the terms of the loan, now pay it back. Sorry you can't get/find a better job. Not the public's issue.

@Dashrender

Still don't know wtf caused it, but the laptop is a Win 7 refurb from 3+ years ago, so it's just not worth repairing.

A new screen might be $12 bucks, what model laptop is it?

@CrossBox

Did I just read an add, I think I just read an ad for CrossBox.

The issue shouldn't be "we the government will supplement your salary by forgiving a loan which you promised to pay back".

That's not how student loans work. Getting a better paying job that offers you $10K more annually would offset the benefit of this practice and allow you to still pay your loans back.

It's a charity service to get people who, for one reason or another were dealt a bad hand.
