**Resumo para X (≤280 caracteres):**

No XXV Governo (Montenegro), Bernardo Correia (ex-diretor Google Portugal) é Secretário de Estado da Digitalização. Manuel Dias (ex-NTO Microsoft Portugal) é o CTO do Estado e presidente da ARTE. Ambas as nomeações geraram debates sobre conflitos de interesses.

@ChShersh Clip it in 60 pieces with some overlap, parallel process the same you're doing, solve the duplicates. 120s/60 streams=2s

I swear we didn't plan this, but just today, we finally NUKED our entire AWS account at the 37signals company meetup! This followed moving out compute+dbs in 2023, then S3 this summer, and now finally the entire account is GONE 🎉

Vou admitir uma coisa mal vista: nunca gostei da via cloud. A pequena dimensão dos nossos sistemas, a maior complexidade tecnológica, e trocar salários portugueses por custos cloud à americana, tudo más ideias. E depois há estórias tenebrosas. Muito feliz por ler migrações off-cloud (https://t.co/3miv8Pco3I, https://t.co/vPRq8CXbuO). #cloudexit

A majority of the worst ranked airports in the world are run by a single company

Interesting thing I discovered making https://t.co/igWjAuMrjv when indexing airports

They're called Da Vinci Airports, but are a French company

Their strategy seems to be a lot like Private Equity:
- buy up airports from struggling governments who need money
- cut costs to the minimum possible while decreasing service quality
- maximize profit by filling up airports over their capacity

Result is airports that:
- lose a lot of luggage
- are very dirty
- are hot cause no functioning AC (is a high cost)
- have overworked staff
- always full of packed crowds (like Lisbon Airport)
- now ranked the worst (Gatwick, Edinburgh, Lisbon)

RyanAir called out Da Vinci recently for being a monopoly, as they own all the big airports in Portugal, and they pushed their fees up so RyanAir decided to remove flights to Madeira

You won't know you're in a Da Vinci airport until you connect to the WiFi which has their name on it

What to do about it?

I think governments should do regular QA on their airports. Even if they're privately owned, airports are the first thing visitors to a country see when they arrive and they judge a country by it

The best airport in the world is Singapore Changi Airport and its owned and ran by the Government of Singapore. Most of the best airports are the same

Maybe airports shouldn't be privately owned by private equity-type firms but should be owned by governments as symbols of their country?
