“In Malaysia’s lush southern peninsula, a data center known as A201 is set to open next year, packed with hundreds of millions of dollars in Nvidia’s most advanced artificial intelligence servers.
“The data center plans to supply this computing power to a Chinese tech giant. The setup is legal and profitable. It will also sidestep U.S. rules that ban sales of the most advanced A.I. chips directly to Chinese firms.
“The company operating the data center is a client of Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial services firm formerly led by Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, who handed off leadership of it to his sons. Mr. Lutnick is now writing the rules that would have a substantial effect on the data center’s business.”

Can we stop for a minute and ponder the fact that 1000 pings to their network every 4-5 seconds took down America’s air traffic system nationwide?
1000 pings every 4 to 5 seconds is an amount of traffic that any SMB switch or router would handle easily. It’s an inconsequential amount of traffic. I can’t even understand what she’s trying to say here, but 1000 requests in that time frame isn’t substantial by any metric
We need to get some serious people in charge of things like this. I don’t think this is just a money problem. This is a personnel problem.
FAA acting CTO Rebecca Guy: "When we started to see the occurrence where our network was having instability, we started to look at what was the cause. We saw two places that were actually pinging our network at a very high rate -- 1,000 connections over every 4 to 5 seconds."
(That sure sounds like hacking!)

1/ Elon Musk's interference with Starlink appears to have pushed Ukraine to adopt an Israeli satellite communication system to increase the effectiveness of its strikes on Russian oil refineries. This may enable last-minute changes to Ukrainian drones' targets. ⬇️

Ari Melber notes that "33% of all House Republicans are gone" after the midterms:
"They let [Trump] do anything, from tariffs to wars, in fear of losing their precious political power. And it is now the voters who took it from them."

This is a lie. You do not, I repeat, do not EVER do a system update/upgrade at 3pm on a busy day. You do it overnight when there’s no traffic. That goes for any type of system update. This is complete bullshit. Here’s what probably actually happened: this new AI system went live on November 10th, overwhelmed the existing infrastructure and crashed spectacularly on November 13th.

BREAKING: In a powerful moment, Senator Elissa Slotkin just laid out how Democrats are going to "Trump proof" the government to ensure no one can ever use the power of public office for such brazen corruption again. Every American needs to see this.

CNN calls it a “bizarre silence” from Trump amid the flight chaos. Thousands of travelers are stranded, but apparently the world must stop spinning if it doesn’t revolve around him. What a self-absorbed asshole.

If you’re looking for the truth, here it is. Pete Buttigieg explains what his team did when the system went down and gives credit to the career staff doing that work today. Worth hearing in his own words.
