    Could care less about your opinion of me and assholes like you usually attract negativity. Why are you surprised?

    Twitter uses Google Cloud. It automatically spins up instances to handle capacity. It is unlimited. Unless you are a dumbass and set a limit of how many instances can be spun up.

    Best advice I have for you is to see a therapist.

    Hes running his entire campaign on a Super pac and undisclosed donations. It's so pathetic how libertarians who claim to be about small government are perfectly okay with unlimited undisclosed hidden donations lol. Frauds

    That's because there are no true Libertarians. It's all a lie to make themselves feel cool and act like they're not part of the establishment...when, in fact, they are just basic conservatives with little understanding of how the world actually works.

    Ron DeSantis Signs Bill Protecting Elon Musk If His Rockets Explode and Kill Workers

    Just a day after Elon Musk and David Sacks hosted Ron DeSantis on Twitter for an exclusive and disastrouspresidential announcement, the Florida governor signed a bill shielding Musk’s SpaceX from liability if workers are killed after his rockets blow up (something that Musk is apparently very adept at making happen, from Tesla cars to rocketships, to presidential campaigns).

    The Spaceflight Entity Liability Billexpands legal immunities that will shield private space companies, like Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin, from legal responsibility when workers suffer injuries or even die. At its core, the bill broadens when these companies are exempted “from liability for injury to or death of a crew resulting from spaceflight activities.”


    And Musk made sure his presence was known throughout the process of the bill. While the bill was advancing through both the state House and Senate, a SpaceX lobbyist, Jeffrey Sharkey, appeared at practically every single committee meeting related to it—lobbying members on at least five separate occasions, in five different state House committees. Other lobbyists from Boeing, Space Florida, and Florida Rising also made their presence known—but not to the extent SpaceX did.

    While tycoons imagine a future of taxiing their fellow fat cats to space on a whim, these billionaire-plaything rockets keep exploding. The urge to make a business out of something that is not safe—nor, well, needed at the moment since we can’t even take careof the planet we’re on—helps explain the genesis of the bill. An analysis by the Florida state Senate admits it all quite plainly: “This bill has the potential to limit the cost of litigation to businesses engaging in spaceflight activities.”

    The bill mandates “crew” and participants alike fill out a waiver that grants legal immunities to space companies in cases of injury or death.


    Moreover, the bill expands the definition of “spaceflight entity” to include any entity authorized to conduct spaceflight activities, beyond ones solely associated with the United States Federal Aviation Administration, opening up which entities in the broader industry will qualify for the expanded immunity. The bill also cuts out language ascribing liability to spaceflight entities for damage caused from “inherent risks” of spaceflight activity; instead, the bill broadens the scope of liability immunity to include all spaceflight activities.

    Finally, the bill also amends language that orders entities to be liable for injury if they had actual knowledge, or reasonably should have known, of risks. The new language only orders legal liability for “actual knowledge” of risks, meaning there is no longer any expectation for companies to be responsible for damages from risks they “reasonably should have known” about.

    The bill comes after both DeSantis’s annoucement—where hand-picked guests spent more time hailing Musk like God than asking DeSantis questions—and DeSantis’s own campaign released a bizarre post-launch video that showcases Musk as much as (if not more than) DeSantis.


    On its way to DeSantis’s desk, buttressed by the heavy lobbyist presence, the bill passed the state Senate 39–0 and state House 107–5. The wildly bipartisan effort to give special legal immunities to the richest people in the world’s pet projects is in part a result of how much money these companies have flooded into both parties.

    Musk’s SpaceX has spent some $8 million in lobbying efforts since 2020 and donated another $1 million to members of both parties during the 2022 election cycle alone. Bezos’s Blue Origin has spent some $6.3 million in lobbying efforts since 2020, while sending just over half a million dollars to members of both parties during 2022.

    It seems his campaign is going to .................everything that is woke will cease to exist. That might play in Fl, but is he only going after the base they already have or is there some common ground he will find for the normal folks? You cant be that far right (or that far left) and think you can win, then you throw in the trump factor and then as his plans come out such as astros123 points out that he will take control of the DOJ and FBI and you start losing moderates and independents........but hey, if he thinks its a winning strategy we will see. I never thought I would say this and I am not 100% sure just yet but he could be worse then trump, in the fact that he will only cater to the far right "Conservative" establishment...............I am sure the fake Christians will eat this up though. As a moderate voter I had hopes for this guy before he took a sharp right turn.........I guess he won't try and win my vote, hey, at least he isn't lying about the radical crap he would do, he is laying it out there for all the voters to see and if that's your cup of tea you will vote for him and we will see if can turn this into a win. I once thought he could beat Biden but now I am not so sure...............and believe me, I prefer Biden not to run.

    Not really true. Twitter has its own data centers that host most of their services. There are only a select number of Twitter services that run on GCP and Twitter has actually reduced GCP usage since Musk took over (probably to save some money).

    And the ability to auto scale in cloud environments is really dependent on how your services are built. Its not as simple as just deploying applications to the cloud and immediately getting the benefits. There is some work to refactor your applications (and in some cases lots of work) to be able to benefit from the efficiencies of the cloud. And until you get to that point, cloud hosting in many cases is actually more expensive than hosting in your own data center (which is probably why Twitter is bringing services out of GCP).

    These people have about as much swagger as the average anti - DeSantis poster on this thread.

    Bless your heart for being so naive about literally everything you talk about. May God give you wisdom in this world. I mean it
