Very nice, but the #1 problem remains: discoverability. Say you have a IO intensive database, with about 6000 new insertions per seconds, and every 20 minutes a few reads to use that data for analytics. Which parameters should you tweak? Pe

People act in their own selfish interest. This farmer from rural Malawi who can't communicate in English may not want to move to Europe, because he would have a bad time there.

> Technology + No borders can destroy entire cultures. And that's a good thing. The strong cultures will survive. I don't care if it is mine or not. If it is better, it's in my interest that it wins, and that I adopt it. I

Could you recommend something that would have 2x NVME for the home internet part? RK3399 based boards are interesting but there is only 1x NVME on the Rockpi4 NVME extender. The Nvidia Jetson nano extenders use USB3, which is not acceptable

I got it as soon as it started shipping. It just replaced every other computer, smartphone and tablet I was using. Best device I ever got, period. I've the business version with 256 NVMe SSD, Win10 Pro, 8Gb of RAM, and the dock hooked

Do you invest 0.1% of your wealth in things you considered to have 0.5-5% chance of happening? I don't. And I have a rather clear example in mind, something I do consider at a 5% risk and yet refuse to bother about. I don't, becau

I'm not saying that's insane - just that the probability multiplied by the consequences means they're misguided in being afraid of a global collapse instead of being afraid of their death that is GUARANTEED given our limited

Not enough. I hope more billionaires start seriously investing when they turn 40 or 50 or 60 and realize the clock is ticking. And by seriously, I mean spending over 50% of what they have - when they realize that if death happens, all they

People do things - sometimes good, sometimes not good. But him using his money to take down a website that thought it was ok to out people? I never heard about it before, but I find that damn cool. That's not super-villain rich but Bat

Because above the Maslow pyramid, there's some insanity zone Seriously: people with too much money quickly get surrounded with yes men, who act as an echo chamber for these persons fears, and deliver them the white elephants they want.

This is correct. However, most people will not be able to trade at the XE quoted rates. Just try to go to your back and exchange. The price reported on CMP are what any random person can get, for real, using the crypto exchanges - without c

With the click-of-death problem getting so much attention back then, branding their product Click may have been going a bridge too far.

I guess this is good for bitcoin! Good enough liquidity, can't be blocked, many tumblers, cheap transactions - maybe it will become a preferred way for international settlements, replacing gold?

Or more pratical: a partition on the SD card of your phone that can boot to a live linux, then store the live data locally in the ext2 part I did try to do that with my android phone, but apparently it requires some specific kernel modules.

And can you add fuse support, to keep at least ext2 and vfat in sync? The best usecase I can see: /boot, used for both windows and Linux with a special entry to start a live linux for recovery. Having this partition on a thumbdrive and

mintty, by far. I'm surprised no one has recommended it yet. The new Windows Terminal is just not ready. It's death by a thousand paper cuts. I keep an eye on it, but here's an example from right now when I start it with msys

Been there done that. Selecting a database is the least of your worries. And you learn to live with the limitations - for example, in clickhouse you add a millisecond and a microsecond field. Litteraly every solution listed will work, as th

Or they didn't really want the change. Or (devil advocate) maybe they had a very good reason you did not know. Like, they asked repetitively for that before. It takes a special straw to break a camel's back. This reminds me of the

Are you blaming Trump on the trans? That's a funny new perspective! But joke aside, why would hormones only work in one way? And why couldn't you say the same about, say acetaminophen? Without a RCT your guess is as good as mine!
