A circular map of Europe and the Arctic region showing the rate of warming from 1996 to 2025, measured in degrees Celsius per decade. Most of Europe is shaded in orange to deep red, indicating significant warming, especially in Eastern Europe and parts of Scandinavia. The Arctic region north of Scandinavia and Russia is the darkest red, showing the fastest warming. Greenland shows mixed colors, with some areas in light tones and patches of blue, indicating little warming or slight cooling. The North Atlantic west of Europe appears in pale colors and light blue, suggesting slower warming or localized cooling. A color bar at the bottom ranges from dark blue (cooling, about -1.5°C per decade) to dark red (warming, about +1.5°C per decade).

My favorite quote from Chris in this episode: “I believe in the power of programmers. I believe in the human potential of people that want to create things. And that’s fundamentally why I love software is that you can create anything that you can imagine.”

Meaning that infrastructure like AWS is not something that Signal, or almost anyone else, could afford to just “spin up.” Which is why nearly everyone that manages a real-time service–from Signal, to X, to Palantir, to Mastodon–rely at least in part on services provisioned by these companies. 8/
