When beds malfunction bc of a DNS failure, I think there's some overly poor/over-optimistic engineering at play. Anybody should be able to sleep even with a failed DNS infrastructure (except for the engineers who screwed it up). PSA: Jailbreak your bed! github.com/throwaway312...

Holding 750,000 workers hostage. And their families. Sounds like a medieval despot's power trip.
SCOOP: Furloughed federal workers aren't guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown, according to a draft White House memo described to Axios by three sources.
