“In this study, [they] model spatiotemporal heterogeneity and incorporate it into optimizing the location of substations. The optimized substation placement ensures electrical service coverage for over 99% of the area during peak power usage seasons, compared to the current coverage of 72%...”

Google's latest #innovation to prevent #outages is an #SRE love letter wrapped in buzzwords and sprinkled with acronyms like #STPA and #Prodverbs 🎩🔍. Apparently, teaching a new method involves rehashing 20 years of "lessons" that somehow didn't prevent past outages 🚨. But hey, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned #reliability #theory seminar when your server's on fire? 🔥🤔

sre.googleSTPA (System Theoretic Process Analysis) -- Teaching a new way to prevent outages at GoogleRead how Google is using System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) to analyze pure software systems and discover risks.

The biggest difference between the online gaming network outages of a decade plus ago and today's issues is that most games now require a subscription in order to play these games even if it's offline due to massive #DRM.

It's one of the main reasons why I stepped back from console gaming over the last few years and focusing more on PC and retro/historical gaming.
