Not really. As costs go up, you can mitigate by pushing more of your data out to slower mediums, like hdd.

There should be results. Tech giants are too big to fail, as are the big banks and insurers. If we break up the banks and insurers by product offerings, then why not break up big tech?

Each company gets split into 3 smaller firms, each with access to all the IP of the mothership. They get to fight for their customers, and barter over business assets, to figure out who owns what.

As long as merchants use dark ui patterns, a misleading or anti-merchant response from consumers is justified.

I for one am appalled that visa is making merchant fraud easier, making payments less controlled by cardholders.

Is this based on the same study which misattributed ALL particles the car kicked up off the road as being made of tires?

> how much unionized labor developers would have to use to take advantage of the streamlining

That seems like a reasonable clause to me. It sounds like what anyone would want their union to do.

making 30TB out of 5T drives would need 12 disks with mirroring. That's a bunch of power. It might also be a dual-socket Xeon, for that ECC

If it is close enough for a real bank in USD, it's probably okay for an exchange in bitcoins, right? If the bank/exchange maintains a 5% reserve, every unit of currency can produce a multiplier/velocity of 20. Bank loans substantially increase the ability of businesses to fund activity.

Do you think that these videos or photos are faked? Do you think there is a real war in the Ukraine?

There is. You build a network of analog cables. Use a sound board to 'switch' the channels. This leads to headphones on 3.5mm jacks, and one or more zones of stereos connected by RCA. This 'network' is as solid in 2022 as it was in 1975.

This makes me want to make a startup which is a customer service arm for google. It runs a 2-sided marketplace to pay real google employees who can help with users who need their accounts unlocked/etc. It would have different categories for finding a relevant googler, and could even schedule them in shifts, with a chat room and shared note-taking space for the employees to collaborate. It would be a win win.

The next phase is when someone who believes in the startup gets to a exec position within google, and can hire and shield actual CSRs who only work through the startup. That business unit will find more success because of the better customer support, which will put pressure on other business units to do the same.

It would of course be much better if google just had the decency to provide human support.

That market needs to be guided away from fossil fuels. How would such a market cover solar and wind when they dont make enough? Batteries? Huge hydro storage? That sounds more expensive than nuclear.

My argument for nuclear: the alternative low-carbon base load is grid-scale lithium ion batteries. That tech is ,(AFAIK) 10 years out from reaching both the scale and price point needed. Also note that solar and wind need enormous amounts of land.

This article is ignoring any upside to a hypothetical situation, without defining the parameters. If we had a better federal social safety net from all that tax revenue, more people would choose to become entrepreneurs, which might result in 10 new film studios, 5 rocketry companies, and hundreds of unique retail businesses instead.

But its a ranked ballot. The sort should be stable.

I don't understand your point. In ranking presidential candidates, most left-or-center-leaning voters would rank any and every Democrat above any and every Republican, with Trump as their very last choice. So the presence or not of any specific candidate doesn't change the outcome. They would have voted in whomever the Democrat Nominee was.

> You don't have authorization

Yes, you do. Authorization and Authentication are part of the API. If you want to keep a server private, don't give it a public IP and DNS!

Yours is also a UFO.

There are a couple of things to consider. The solar and wind need to be overprovisioned, to feed the grid scale batteries to provide baseload. Those batteries are currently not cost effective, which is why there are very few such batteries in use. If you add in the price of battery, wind and solar look rather pricey. Without the batteries, they are helping us reduce the use of fossil fuel plants, but not helping shut them down.

The other thing is the land. Solar and wind each need a substantial % of landmass to have 100% of our power come from those sources.

The ongoing costs of running nuclear are also way higher than solar or wind, which matters.

Yeah. In solar and wind lots of deaths from falling off roofs or windmills.

Because the land needed for equivalent solar and wind would be massive. There would be no room for NIMBY. Imagine someone you love would lose their home so that a windmill could be constructed. Every city park would need to have a huge windmill, and every roof would need solar panels. That is assuming that we can even locate the material and manpower needed to build so much. This would be at least 2 orders of magnitude more than equivalent power from nuclear.

> you were assuming that the protest does not have popular support and I wonder if that assumption is correct.

Seems to be a valid assumption.

Pipes?

The company which owns the scooter is responsible for the location of the scooter. They choose to let users leave scooters in shitty locations. They invite vigilant responses from other sidewalk users.

Ex office dev here. Actual dev work is done on i9 workstations running 64 gb of ram, and usually located very near an Azure data center, regardless of where the dev works. The result is that it's fast for us.

Everyone knows that it runs like poop, but there are other priorities, and no performance regression tests.

For the wok, you can get a ring for heating the sides of it.

Could show a screenshot of the map in 3d. It's hard to reason about terrain from seeing heightmaps.

> If true self-driving cars ever become a reality, there's going to be a big demand spike for more and bigger roads

Why would there be a need for more roads? It seems like the opposite would be true: self-driving cars don't need safe following distance to each other. They could form a massive train (the more you look at self driving cars, the more they look like trains), with 1 inch of space between each vehicle. Highway lanes are so wide, that small self-driving vehicles could sit 2-across, with an inch of space between them. On-demand self-driving-cars could cut the total number of cars on the road by a big factor. Self-driving cars might never crash, so they won't need all those tons of safety equipment that each car lugs about, saving a pile of net energy.

I think a nice metaphor would be that linkedin banned my car from their property, then I keep coming back in by taxi.

I use https://terrain.party to source heightmaps as image files, and perform any manipulation of the heightmap in normal image-editing software. It's a lot less funky if you already have the image-editing skill.

What if the users had no 2fa at all? attackers still had their passwords and their emails, and their sms numbers
