The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

>Up now though, and so is Berkshire! Rah, rah, rah!

My apologies, Shrewd'm was down for a number of hours yesterday; fine now. I had automatic monitoring that resets a virtual machine if the project is temporarily down, however I moved the project to a faster server (with zero downtime during the move) several weeks ago and the monitoring had apparently not correctly transferred, so I missed it being down until I checked myself. The monitoring (cron jobs) should be working again.

Up-time for Shrewd'm, including yesterday, has been very high at 99.86%. I'll aim even higher. Email sending reliability is now the best in the industry, and the project is now running even faster than earlier in the year.

Culturally all is going well - everyone here is wonderful, only it would be good to have some more board cross-pollination. When posting something not related to Berkshire, post it at the applicable board (then view it, and copy the url) then add a post here with a link to your post. It sounds like a small thing but it will help with Shrewdm's inherent multi-dimensionality especially as the talent here is very broad.

Even if Berkshire Hathaway is the sun, a star system is more interesting with some planets and moons. It is good to fly around.
