It's cheaper for people to generate their own electricity than to buy it off the grid. But if your generator goes down what do you do then? People don't factor in the cost of having a distributed fault tolerant global architecture when they consider costs. And that architecture is available for the smallest mom and pop shop up to Fortune 500s.
Clouds democratize infrastructure. That's what they do best.
What would be the cost for a customer to always have the latest and greatest hardware at massive scale at the touch of a button in their on premises data center?

HP CEO: Printed pages are down 20% since pandemic
This is what happens when a company like HP decides to find new ways to rip off it's customers.
You brick our printers when we try to use lower cost third party supplies and force us to by your overpriced crap. Don't be surprised HP if we print less or start looking elsewhere for our printing needs.

Costco would refill HP cartridges for $7. A couple years ago Costco stopped doing that. Probably HP threatened Costco to stop or we will pull out stuff from your store.
Now I am thinking about the Epson printer tank printer. Why replace the whole cartridge when you can just put ink in the tank?

Cloud engineer wreaks havoc on bank network after getting fired
This is a bank?
I have never heard of such lax and wanton security measures. If he had a good lawyer he could have argued the bank was negligent in doing their due diligence. Probably would have gotten the restitution reduced or disallowed.
His account should have been locked before he left the building and his laptop bricked before he got home.
Meanwhile if I was a client of the bank I would be finding a new one pronto.

Amazon to staff: Come into the office – it'd be a shame if something happened to your promotion
Re: VP-level approval is already needed in certain cases anyway.
Amazon promotion process can be summed up in one sentence. "What have you done for me lately?". Doesn't matter if you are wowing the customer. If you haven't done required Cinderella housekeeping things that managers in any other company would be responsible for, you aren't getting promoted. And if you aren't getting promoted you will be pushed out the door in any number of ways both active and passive.
They just found a new way to push you out the door. Ironic how you can be pushed out the door they want you to come back in to.

This is nowhere near like the rural electrification program of FDR. Reliable electricity is a necessity.
Clean water is a necessity. Gas service is a necessity. Telephone service is a necessity. Internet service to your home isn't. It's along the same lines as cable TV. Especially when everyone has a cell phone. I maintain cell service is a necessity over Internet so they should focus on being cell service everywhere. If you are stranded in the high desert without cell service how will high speed internet to your home help you?

Biden: I want standard EV chargers made in America by 2024 – get on it
I bet it killed Brandon to sign a deal with the largest EV supplier in the world but you have to give Musk his due. His SuperCharger network is the main reason his cars are being bought while other EV makers struggle with the Charge America network.
This is basically akin to making Apple chargers charge Android phones because so many people are having problems with Android chargers.
