> Finnish startup Donut Lab claims it’s made a solid-state battery breakthrough. Whether you believe it or not, the technology does appear to be more than just hype.
The claim by Finnish startup Donut Lab about a solid-state battery breakthrough is definitely one of the most talked-about tech stories right now. If even part of it is real, it could reshape electric vehicles with faster charging, higher energy density, and longer lifespan. However, the industry is still divided—some independent tests show promising fast-charging and thermal stability results, while other experts remain skeptical about the full set of performance claims.
Whether it turns out to be a true breakthrough or just overhyped innovation, it clearly shows how fast battery technology is evolving and how competitive the EV space has become.

It does. You can argue you bid a wrong amount by mistake. It's necessary because mistakes do happen, and it even happened to me to retract a mistake once (was bidding on two items simultaneously in two tabs and mixed them up). But it gets abused.

quoting verbatim from their email:
> For long-term remediation, our team has also created a DaemonSet that runs this flush command on all nodes automatically. You can find it at the link: https://github.com/okamidash/ARP-DOKS-FIX
As the sibling comment already mentioned, k8s is not much more complexity once you're past the learning curve. I used to host with ec2 + scripts earlier. K8s actually solves a lot of problems that you will have to solve yourself anyway.
Nobody that uses Kubernetes and random shit from Github would sign such an agreement if they actually had to pay out and could not weasel their way out of it. That would be signing up for a near-unlimited liability and business suicide.
Let's assume an incident costs you (the customer) ~5k, just assuming the time it takes to get a professional on very short notice to debug (since the whole promise of managed services is that you no longer need technical staff at all). That's also ignoring the actual cost to your business (lost sales, reputational risk, or missing your own SLAs).
For the provider to be willing to pay out something like this they'd need to charge you monthly several times that amount (otherwise just one incident and they're forever underwater on the LTV). Yet such a monthly amount would make the service unaffordable to all but the most deep-pocketed customers... for whom the impact of an outage on their business would cost even more meaning they'd want the payouts to be even bigger, leading to a catch-22.
High-availability good enough for the provider to put 5-figure sums on the line is actually really hard (there's a reason actual critical stuff like stock exchange order processing or card transactions don't run on the "cloud", nor on Kubernetes for that matter), so the next best thing is make-believe "high availability" where everyone (except the occasional poor soul like you that actually believed the marketing) understands the charade and plays along (because their own SLAs are often make-believe too).
We were on AWS for a while. The complexity was way higher than what our team could manage. DOKS is simpler, and this is the first major issue we've hit in many months.
I loved watching "It's quieter in the twilight", a documentary about how a dedicated team of engineers (mostly retired) are fighting to keep the Voyager mission alive.
