   I think it puts a pretty negative framing on immigration, that it's something you have to buy an indulgence for. Maybe that's true. Being a well paid tech worker who might try the expat lifestyle someday, I'm pretty biased. B

   Oh hey, I grew up in Kalamazoo and went to school in Ann Arbor. It's been so long since I lived there I might be remembering wrong, but I just don't remember that much to do on the street in question (compared to somewhere like An

   Thanks for the insights! Is the bad sector read rate abnormally high? Are GCE's SSDs particularly error prone? Or is the failure rate typical, but a bad sector read is just incredibly expensive? I assume you investigated using various

   Is it necessary to fully replicate the persistent store onto the striped SSD array? I admire such a simple solution, but I wonder if something like an LRU cache would achieve similar speedups while using fewer resources. On the other hand,

   I found it worth noting that the cache is primarily interested through linux's built in software raid system, md. SSDs in raid0 (strip), persistent disk in raid1 (mirror).

    I've had a decent time writing little "jailfiles" and a create/destroy script. It's certainly nowhere near as ergonomic as docker though. But it seems like a very solvable problem.

    as far as I know, you can put disks of different sizes in a mirror vdev, you’ll just obviously be limited to the size of the smaller disk. Is that not what OC is asking for?

    I believe zfs fulfills all those requirements. I’m running freebsd on my NAS and it’s been great.

    You could also provide less (but fully available) bandwidth at the same price. Offer the current 1gbps plan at a much higher rate. Or more realistically you could introduce plans with data caps, or “burst modes”. I think there are a lot of

    Why does an executive deserve to de-risk more than other employees? If anything, that's backwards. Who the hell doesn't want to de-risk? Why is that option only given to certain people, as opposed to offering everyone at the com

    If you're going to make an all SSD NAS, wouldn't it at least make sense to have a 10gbps network link and more than 3gbps PCI bandwidth?

    This seems pretty silly. It's a civil matter, isn't it? Has anyone ever gone to jail for violating an open source license? You could simply choose to not pursue legal action against license violators. Choosing a permissive license

    You can't take out a 401k loan if you don't work there any more. In fact, that's one of the major drawbacks of 401k loans. If you leave employment, you have to repay the loan within a set time period, or treat it as a disburs

    I guess I don't have any evidence here, but that chronology seems way, way, way off to me. I remember cars having awful touch screen UIs long before Tesla got off the ground.
