They're not 20% less, they're a third of the price of a new one.

From what I see, the majority of HDDs on Amazon are now used devices. Which isn't necessarily bad... HDDs have a much longer lifespan than SSDs. I expect my used HDDs to last at least 5years in my RAID5 setup.

This law is dumb, because in no way does it prevent the exact same data to be collected, processed by a US entity and then transferred to China. I suspect that it's not about data being transferred, but the fact that TikTok can shape o

I'm pretty sure that he didn't liquidate $50bn in stock to get the money for buying twitter. (That $50bn includes the 20% capital gains tax, that leaves $40bn in cash)

That's pretty cool. - What did you use to prototype your project? What software and what companies offered prototyping services for your project? - Was it hard to get the whole machine made? How is the market for small scale manufactur

You're right... Companies should pay mid 6 figures, as well as downtime for training. Short answer is that most corporations don't have a job in training people.

As someone who went though the legal means when he was in the office last time, he will primarily hurt the legal immigration... because that is the easiest thing for them to do - grind USCIS to a halt.

Well.... DUH! You're comparing the vast swathes of mediocre talent to the best from the rest of the world. Of course the top talent from elsewhere is going to beat the average talent from the US.

I literally quit my previous job, because people were hired after "a few Coursera courses". Sorry, if you "learned online" and haven't spent a few years building software - you aren't immediately as qualified

Fist - it is not companies' responsibility to train anyone. It is not their business. Second - H1b are exploitable, because the system allows it. H1b has demonstrably not suppressed software engineering wages at all. Non-competes, have

There are exclusions to this law, that obligates establishment of reasonable measures and adherence to take down rules. (That's why we have DMCA, that actually offers indemnity for copyright violations)

No. And you literally wrote why... Algorithmically promoting something isn't a matter of an opinion expressed by the company. But neither is a company liable just because they engage in moderation.

Companies are already responsible for what they post.(see Dominion lawsuit) Companies aren't, and should not be, responsible for what other people post on their websites.(See Section 230 prehistory)

With vast swathes of people who DGAF about freedom of speech and just want to punish the other side - midterm elections aren't likely to produce any sort of a counterbalance.

Section 230 doesn't indemnify anything. It recognizes that a platform is just an intermediary, not the originator. Similar provisions are in place in most of the civilized world.

Your presumption is that it's about the money for everyone. But there's a lot more at play when you are rich enough to not worry about money.

Why would you fire your best and brightest? That would be like throwing out good fruit, when there are spoiled ones. No, it's a very poor idea to force companies to lay off at random.

There's empirical evidence to knowing what you actually want, vs what you say you want. And I've made a lot of money on disregarding maximalist user requests, thank you very much.

This is literally what good editorial is. That's what makes best articles in journalism. No one, including you, is interested in every single detail. And no one, including you, will read a novel for every single game.(and every single

Recaps are boring. They are intended to be. If you want the drama, that permeates any soccer game - you watch the game, read a 10 page review or watch a long review video.

That's a "kitchen sink" approach, that produces really bad articles that are hard to read.
