Gary has a port on Lake Michigan, is right next to Chicago and its rail and transit hubs, is well-connected to the interstate highway system, has an airport... it's hard for me to understand how it doesn't have geographical advant

A real war would disrupt the internet so substantially as to render AI inoperative. Data centers are easy to find on Google Earth, few are really hardened against deliberate attack, and they would be immediate targets.

It intuitively makes sense. A cold-blooded creature of that mass would take a long time to properly warm up or cool down. Most modern cold-blooded animals are small, e.g. frogs, snakes, lizards. They can move into the sunlight or shade as n

I had this idea that Fujitsu was one of those Japanese conglomerates that had operations in all kinds of markets, from electronics to heavy earth moving equipment to air conditioners to locomotives. But that doesn't appear to be the ca

You're going to have more success working with the providers of the other accounts and services rather than Google. That means a lot more legwork on your part but banks and other online services all have processes to deal with lost pas

Hm, maybe that loophole was closed recently? Definitely used to be a thing, people with benefits would buy something nonperishable and marketable. Tide detergent was the example. That could then be sold for cash, or traded for cigarettes or

There are also many ways to steal a car without having a key at all.

We did/do have that kind of lock: A safe deposit box at a bank. To open it, you need two keys, one of which you have and one of which the bank has.

You also need to understand whether the generator backup actually runs everything. Where I work it doesn't. Only "essential" systems get backup power. And if the data center is more than about 5 years old it almost certainly

The ERs I'm familiar with would look at you, see that you're not bleeding out or having a heart attack or stroke, and then you'd sit in the waiting room for six hours to finally be seen by an intern who would send you out wit

I mean people in poor neighborhoods do the same thing with laundry detergent or anything else you can buy with SNAP benefits.

> 1% is 3.5 days I think that illustrates the author's point quite well. 99% uptime sounds good, but when you think about a 3+ day outage that doesn't sound very good. Imagine Facebook or TikTok being down for 3 days. Of course

Yep, inflation is just another kind of tax, and one that's quite hard to avoid.

In my experience this is very common on linux hosts. Not that you would do a full system reboot as a generic first attempt (this was much more common when I worked with Windows) but restarting a wedged or misbehaving service/daemon is

I do hand-code for the most part. I will use LLMs as a "smart reference" when I can't recall how to do something or maybe to scaffold out a starting point if I'm working in a less familiar language or framework. I use th

If you're working regular extra hours to "do things right" instead of spending time with your family, then yeah you might want to reconsider. But by all means, do it during the normal workday. Like you said, people notice and

A simple one that occurred to me is picking up litter in your neighborhood. Not exactly work per se but it needs to get done and almost nobody does it.

Living in a tower will always be soulless, IMO. If an able bodied person needs an elevator to get in and out of their house, it's game over.
