Got an email from Delta saying FAA cancellations for flights scheduled to travel between November 7-9 have already happened, so if you’re flying on those dates your flights are safe from cancellation, anyway. Your flight home, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah so they’re cutting flights at the 40 busiest airports starting with 4% on Friday and ramping up to 10% through the weekend, and that includes ATL. If you’re attending #KubeCon and you aren’t threat modeling around this and making contingency plans already, strongly recommend starting now

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.

So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

Mental health talk:

If you look at me and go "Oh, Alex is all fun and games and comic sans" that's only a piece.
