These universities are so pathetic. They've taken every opportunity to make money regardless of safety, but at the same time are quick to lock students in their dorm rooms to "stop the spread". Why exactly are students doing

I don't know whether it will turn out well , rather that it's the newsworthy topic in Africa now (afaik).

The entertainment industry loves stories about inventions in Africa. Occasionally, people make the honest mistake of thinking it's newsworthy. I am quite confident you will never hear or see of these bricks, that they are numerous diff

Simply based on the face that this article lists the cost of recycled bricks, but not the cost of traditional bricks, I feel quite confident saying this is an entertainment piece, and the bricks have no serious commercial prospects outside

Are we talking about candidate provided references? Or telling your boss "hey, my buddy is looking for a new job, I'll shoot you the resume"? The former seems fairly useless, the latter seems useful

My understanding is that (some) law enforcement agencies have been more than happy to drop cases rather than subject investigative tools to proper scrutiny[0]. They have no qualms resorting to "parallel construction"[1], and simpl

I think the "free" attention economy is what pushes software developer compensation so high. So maybe it's true that it's damaged the wholesome place the internet could have been, but I doubt it's damaged you or me

The fact that I've seen this repeated so much tells me these SAASes are probably more reliant on the free users than they realize. Otherwise they wouldn't talk about it, because they'd have done it, and it wouldn't have

Why are you compiling on ARM with only 4GB RAM? Wouldn't it make more sense to cross compile from a machine with more resources, if you cared about build speed? (maybe there's a good reason not to do that, idk) If it's crappi

How the union acquires their stake is a fair question which could be answered a lot of different ways. It can simply be considered a part of employee compensation. This is normal for software engineers (RSUs). The union might get a loan to

How can unions lose their incentive to serve workers? It's a collective body of the workers. When workers are owners, incentives are aligned. If you're talking about union leadership being beholden to management, that is an issue

by ahepp 6y ago
This is pretty much the only complaint about unions I can get behind. I think the best solution is to give the union a substantial ownership stake in the company, so that they have an incentive to operate efficiently

I mean, I know laws can be interpreted. But we're talking about what seems like a pretty straightforward section of the constitution. What's even more damning is that there's no interest in resolving the contradiction. If thi

by ahepp 6y ago
I actually mis-spoke. I meant to say "inflation has yet to respond". Interest rates is the manipulated variable, inflation is the observed. Appreciate you catching that.

FT reported it as well. Not bulletproof, but I think they have a bit more reputation than CNBC. Perhaps I'm naïve, but I think to lie about such a thing would pretty clearly fall afoul of the law?

Only if the purchasing power of a dollar goes down. I know MMT is controversial, but I think of it more as a focus on empiricism. Sure, rationality suggests that printing dollars will reduce the value of dollars. But kickstarting inflation

Yet interest rates have yet to respond (unless I have missed some major news). You are correct to point out the risk, but I don't think we can call it currency debasement yet.

I'm just running zfs out of the `apt` box at the moment. I'm assuming if I get to the point that I care about tuning it, I'll be able to. We'll see if that assumption bites me in the ass.

Does anyone know what kind of advantages I get running "TrueNAS core" vs just running zfs off debian? I assume a nice GUI to tune parameters?
