Breaking: Atomwaffen founder Brandon Russell has been charged with conspiring to attack Baltimore’s electrical grid.
For , I obtained a summary of two confidential memos showing law enforcement has been focusing on neo-Nazis as a primary threat to the grid.
Quote Tweet
NEW: Attacks on the electrical grid reached an all-time high in 2022.
They're mostly unsolved.
But law enforcement is tracking threats from groups working to "gain support for the superiority of the white race."

Prayers and gratitude to the Austin Energy line workers who’ve been working around the clock in these conditions to bring power back to residents. I hope they know none of the frustration people have is directed at them. They and our emergency response personnel have been heroes.

Nice to see more players in the automotive space are seeing the benefits and potential Rust brings to the table. Rust in cars is inevitable

For this poll, "legacy language" means a language that is mostly driven by inertia and enthusiasts and does not or should not be used for new projects.

I've been reading "C++ has become a legacy language" a lot recently; I'm curious what you think.
Has or will C++ become a legacy language in the near future?
Please RT for reach.

I will certainly admit to being confused about this and I’ve had to use this map a lot in the last few years
Quote Tweet
Since I've been staring at it for a few days, I have notes on the @austinenergy map from someone who thinks a bit about cartography.
tl;dr: The symbols and colors used are extremely unintuitive and the map provides no information about how the nearby outages are related.

I think city officials and Austin Energy thinks frustration from the community is toward crews working to restore. It is not. It is with leaders and how once again Austin residents feel let down. The crews working in rough conditions, around the clock, are heroes.

What's to blame for the power outages in Austin? Climate, sure. Above-ground power lines, sure. Trees, definitely.
But also city policy in response to powerful nabe associations?
"'They didn't want their pretty trees in their yards touched by the city,'" Michael Webber said.

If there’s one question prompted by Austin's power outage crisis, it is: Why? Why did so many people lose power? 1/

kinda remarkable the degree to which austin is a city held hostage by a tiny population of cranky nextdoor fascists

Great story from @MoseBuchele on why this power crisis is so bad this time.
The answer might be: You.

truly hope that nobody writes a twitter API library using the official client’s API keys, as that would almost certainly violate their terms of service.
these are the keys that they would want to avoid using:

I mean, it’s one twitter API request, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?

Whoops forgot Elon Richards name earlier, he's Austin Energy's VP of Field Ops. He describes cases where crews have gone out to a damaged power line, spent hours repairing it and while doing that, watching another limb fall onto the same line which they then have to repair again.

Nice to quash this rumor
Quote Tweet
Austin Water Director Shay Roalson says the utility does not foresee the need to issue "any kind of citywide water outage or boil-water notice." Small pockets of the system have lost water, but the entire system is not under threat.

Hello everyone. “the twitter API” was an ten year experiment conducted by the Harvard Research Team with the purpose of having good content on twitter. It will be deactivated on 12:00 EST February 9 2023. Thank you for your time.

When I was an Austin Energy commissioner 2008-2013 vegetation management came up in discussion a lot. The problem was that rich, empowered customers in Tarrytown, NW Hills, Westlake, etc. *hated* the tree trimming and fought to slow it down. We're paying the price for that now.
Quote Tweet
Austin Energy's 2021 Annual Report touted a doubling of the tree trimming budget and hiring of an additional contractor to do more vegetation management. Interestingly, the utility has trimmed more miles in previous years than the 313 it reports here.
