As someone living in rural Nevada and served by Dollar General and Family Dollar stores, I agree. I don't see what problems out here would be solved by local cloud computing resources. The snippet provided doesn't go into detail.

Barry Kauler is brilliant, but as he's the main driver behind the project, I worry that the bus factor for EasyOS is 1.

An example: she or somebody had a retractable antenna optimized for long-range high-frequency/shortwave radio removed prior to the flight—crazy!

I watched a bit of the coverage of Pope Francis' coffin being brought into St. Peter's basilica, and heard "Santa Maria Magdalena [pray for us]" chanted by the choir.

Also, the final episode of Martin Scorsese's "The Saints" series dropped, featuring her.
