Is it really important that people be educated in the reading of analog clocks? I think it's clear to most people that digital clocks are easier to read - they're numbers that you read the same as any other numbers; they can be re

You don't need nearly that much. 26TB factory recertified Exos drives are $360 a piece on Amazon and a 4-bay UGREEN NAS is under $500, so you can do 100TB for under $2000. More compute, redundancy etc. of course adds cost but even with

Isn't it relatively trivial to remove one of these by epoxying something to it or using a drill or dremel to modify it in some way (e.g. dremel a slot that a standard flathead can turn, or drill and use a screw remover)? Or is the purp

There's a lot of focus in this thread on the atomic clocks but in most datacenters, they're not actually that important and I'm dubious that the hyperscalers actually maintain a "fleet" of them, in the sense that th

Do you run traceroutes and pings in both directions? In the case of a ping you might think it shouldn't matter but I can imagine a world where a VPN provider configures a server in London to route traffic via Somalia only when a user e

Could you use RIPE Atlas and its network of probes, at least to fill in areas where it's difficult to get your own probes? That way everyone benefits.

The way I described it was oversimplified. Technically, it's more like your credit card issuer issues a new card with the same number and installs it on the chip in the accessory. To be able to do it, you have to authenticate with your

FWIW, I use Fidesmo. Oversimplified, it allows you to copy your credit card's NFC chip into an accessory you wear. I use a ring but there are other options like bracelets or watch bands. No batteries, no devices, no wireless connectivi

That doesn't make a lot of sense. A modern gas-fired plant is ~50% efficient and heat pumps typically have a COP of ~3 for hot water, so if you take natural gas, burn it to convert it to electricity, then feed that electricity to a hea

I'm also curious what the success rates are for humans. Personally I find those two the most bothersome as well. Cross-tile because it's not always clear which parts of the object count and reload because it's so damn slow.
