Rekordní teploty způsobily výpadky datových center ve Velké Británii. Google Cloud narazil na problémy v Londýně, podobně na tom byl Oracle Cloud. Opět se rozjely debaty na téma, zda za to může globální oteplování, či nikoliv. https://www.lupa.cz/clanky/vypadky-datacenter-kvuli-vedru-rusko-chce-vlastni-herni-engine-intel-bude-zdrazovat/

On Tuesday, 19 July 2022, a cooling failure in one of the buildings that hosts the zone europe-west2-a impacted multiple Google Cloud services. This resulted in some customers experiencing service unavailability for impacted products. The cooling system was repaired at 14:13 PDT, and we restored our services by 2022-07-20, 04:28 PDT. A small number of customers experienced residual effects which were fully mitigated by 2022-07-20, 21:20 PDT when we fully closed the incident. Preliminary root cause has been identified as multiple concurrent failures to our redundant cooling systems within one of the buildings that hosts the europe-west2-a zone for the europe-west2 region.

Obyvatelé Iráku jsou na písečné bouře zvyklí. Nikdy jich ale nezažili tolik jako letos. Kolem deseti tisíc lidí kvůli nim už skončilo v nemocnici, minimálně jeden člověk zemřel. Na vině je rozšiřování pouští, klimatická změna i špatné hospodaření s vodou. Podívejte se, jak to v Iráku během bouří vypadá.

TADEAS:
"The reason we don't have fusion already is because we, as a civilization, never decided that it was a priority. Fusion funding is literally peanuts: In 2016, the US spent twice as much on peanut subsidies as on fusion research." https://t.co/CL8jSw7CrU

TADEAS: sums it up
"Dovolenou na jihozápadním pobřeží Francie jsme si, rodina se dvěma dětmi, načasovali vážně špatně."

‘what the hell just happened’. Be under no illusion the type of incident splashed all over national news from London happened the length and breadth of England today, it just hasn’t got the media coverage yet. Today was a game changer. 999 calls were stacked and bouncing around the various Fire Controls around the country. Fire crews were going from one incident to the next, to the next…it has been brutal. I’ve never known so many major incidents declared at a whole FRS level at once. I lost count at one point.

This is not a post about the effects of austerity on the FRS, or how hot it was in 1976, or the fact that it was just a ‘hot day’ - it’s about a peek into the future. It’s about demand for fire engines and firefighters far, far outstripping the numbers that any reasonable person would expect to be available at any one time. It’s about a completely and fundamentally different operating environment where fires burn with such ferocity, and spread with such speed in suburban areas that you CAN’T STOP THEM. We’ve seen the kind of conditions faced by international colleagues just miles from our capital city and in towns, villages and cities the length and breadth of the country. You can’t ask your neighbouring FRS for mutual aid when they’re just a busy as you are, and so are their neighbours, and their neighbours etc.. ..

Today was about climate change, the hottest UK day on record - EVER! If you don’t believe in climate change ask a firefighter who has been on duty in the last two days what they think about it.
