"Most women, if unrestricted, can get most men to do almost anything they want using sex."

You have a deeply negative view of my sex. Do you seriously believe that all men are robots who loose all agency when they're horny? If so, why isn't all the world run by women?

Hey I commented on a different reply of yours before realising you're the only commenter pushing back on this rubbish, so I just want to say that I appreciate you taking the time to do this. Leaving ideas like this unchallenged just legitimises it.

Thank you for politely explaining what I am too filled with incoherent rage to do myself.

The sexism of HN is astounding sometimes, here we have men politely debating whether women deserve rights. Everytime women are brought up on HN I am only disappointed further.

If GP had said that men deserved to be enslaved no one would think this was something deserving of a thought-out rebuttal, they would be told to leave. But it's fine when women are in the firing line!

Genuinely despicable.

> If there's such a long queue, why don't doctors raise prices until the queue goes away? Do doctors not like money?

You do understand the 'queue' are sick people who need treatment? If the 'queue' goes away then they're just untreated and potentially die. Doctors like money but, at least where I come from, you don't go into medicine for cash. You do it for ideals or respect or to have a job that means something.

> I'm not sure there's such a thing. There's no clearly defined amount that is 'medically useful'. There are just gradually diminishing returns to more medicine (in a statistical sense).

there is actually such a thing as overtreatment. There's this really interesting statistical point where too much testing can actually cause harm, even if the test it self is harmless, because it discovers things that wouldn't have really been a problem ('incidentalomas').

And, unfortunately, there does come a point at times where a patient cannot be helped and it is better to just let them enjoy what time they have left rather than subject them to more treatment and recovery time and all that.

Hi poster here, note that ars technica has it's own comment section and it may be worth reading the comments as well as the article.

I think we're going to be seeing TPM requirements in a lot more things soon. Almost certainly DRM that requires TPM chips will be coming within a few years.

These AIs are not people. They do not learn.

That he did it after murdering the mother is what makes it particularly galling.

Oh! Do you mean how many actual nanometers a transistor made on a '2nm' process is?

Considering the fact that most data heavy servers are llnux, that would be a pretty clever way of staying true to their word.

50% storage efficiency is a tough pill to swallow, but drives are pretty big and the ability to expand as you go means it can be cheaper in the long run to just buy the larger, new drives coming out than pay upfront for a bunch of drives in a raidz config.

If you're willing to use mirror vdevs, expansions can be done two drives at a time.Also, depending on how often your data changes, you should check out snapraid. Doesn't have all the features of ZFS but its perfect for stuff that rarely changes (media or, in your case, archiving).

Also unionfs or similar can let you merge zfs and snapraid into one unified filesystem so you can place important data in zfs and unchanging archive data in snapraid.

Could you please stop with the false niceness? If you want to be sarcastic you can just do that. Deception squicks me out.

Slippery slope arguments are considered a fallacy for a reason.

Open plugins are meaningless when the platform itslelf isn't open. There are also lots of markdown centric note software so its not too much of a draw for obsidian. Personally I'd never use a proprietary note app, having to switch if the company shutters is too much, at least FOSS apps can be forked. Though, I've not heard anything bad about the obsidian team, maybe they open source it if they shut down. They also don't seem like the type to rugpull their customers. But you know how many companies people have said that about.

I don't like electron bloat but notes are something I absolutely need to be on every platform for portability, I'm willing to accept the trade off. To be fair to electron, the software I use (trilium), runs like a dream.

It would be trivially easy to fake a free github account as being from the US. Not hiding the fact that they're Chinese makes me trust them more.

It's also a blatant lie, the system is broken and the government allows social services to be so bad because it wants to spend as little money on them as possible.

If this isnt a joke, 2nm=2 nanometers.

They used to refer to the smallest features, but they haven't had any real meaning for a long time now. The names of the nodes don't correspond to any physical feature of the actual transistor anymore.

If TMSC fabs go down, the world silicon foundry output would drop by a significant chunk. That could have an effect but the majority of the worlds silicon use is in less advanced nodes which many companies produce, it would slow down the state of the art sure, but it probably not be as catastrophic as some people imagine.

... He's spent 15 years in prison (the original sentence) and has been denied a parole already. Not sure what i'd describe as "comically light".

Might be due to compression of frames as its sent over the cable (called digital stream compression iirc

Plus, trilium has a self-hostable sync/web server. The data is stored in a database but you have the option to export as markdown/HTML.

Only issue is that its maintained privately by one person. I take this as a plus but it does mean that theirs a bus factor of one (unless someone else forks it).

You may want to try trilium, desktop app with the ability to self-host a sync/web server.

And that's why 3-2-1 specifies to have one _offsite_ backup

Perhaps its a matter of workplace? I don't think many people would describe their jobs as having personality or humanity.

But apple charges for storage space? Surely people needing more storage is a huge plus for Apple. Maybe they had worries about scaling storage capacity? A company like Aple could certainly figure it out though so that seems unlikely

Why wouldn't the government just intasntly take it? Hell, why wouldn't the corporations just sell it to the highest bidder?

Delete your account, remove the apps. Block it on the network level if you need to. Just add any friction you can to using it.

The issue with creation is that you have to devote mental energy to removing the crazies. I felt much better simply cutting it all out of my life. I only read individual blogs now and its way better. If only we could convince the people worth following to start WordPress blogs or something.
