Source: Wikimedia Commons An interesting map was published by the US Geological Survey shortly after the Turkish-Syrian earthquakes. [1] It showed (perhaps somewhat predictively) that there was only one tiny square of the vast affected area in which Modified Mercalli intensity (which is largely a measure of damage) reached 9.0, the 'violent' level. [2] This is--just about--enough to damage very significantly a well-engineered structure (but not necessarily enough to bring it crashing down).

From the Wash Post: Turkey’s earthquake death toll might be more than just a natural disaster. An excerpt: Natural disaster is one aspect of the story. Turkey’s reliance on construction-driven economic growth, cronyism and willingness to ignore its own building standards is the other. The first was unavoidable. Did the second lead to mass casualties?

Before you get to the hospital, after calling 911, there is an entire pre-hospital medical system that exists to come to the medical aid of people who are sick or injured. These are the Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics who have received specialized training and operate under strict protocols for providing medical aid. In this podcast, we hear from Eric Kuehlthau, a Paramedic with Central Pierce Fire and Rescue District in Pierce County, Washington State.

Storage upgrades used to be a big deal—kind of like going in for surgery. First, there’s the pre-op work, such as assessing the risks and checking on the health of the arrays, switches, hosts, and applications. Many specialist teams had to get involved. For example, the virtualization team had to migrate virtual machines to another array and make extra certain to unmount everything so their hosts wouldn’t wind up in a vegetative state.

In December of 2022, I participated in an eWeekChat event talking about predictions for 2023. One of the predictions I made was that “new flash capacity will get within striking distance [of the cost] of new HDD capacity in 2023.” As we ring in the new year and get into the swing of 2023, I thought it would make sense to explain some of my reasoning and why we here at Pure Storage are so confident that the disk/flash TCO cutover is closer than many people may realize.

Russia's experience in Ukraine one year in is an example of what happens when a nation tries to fight a war without fully considering the logistics and sustainment that go alongside such a fight. The consequences for failing to fully consider these concepts drove Russia into a prolonged conflict for which it was already ill-prepared a year ago, with increasingly dire consequences for its future.
