The QLDB performance comparison looks quite dodgy, but I can't find their QLDB benchmark code to see what they are doing wrong.

RMS does not have the skillset needed for a leadership position today. If you care about the movement, it needs a leader people want to follow. Just because RMS is not at the top doesn't mean he is being denied chances and isn't f

My comment only addressed wear on components, and specifically mentioned tyres and ball joints. I am not making a statement on upfront costs. I’m also not considering behavioural changes of users when switching to electric motors.

Cited article is about _potential_ torque loads and the need to design for it, and does not address light duty typical use case for mail delivery. Jerk causes chatter (slippage) between parts and can significantly reduce designed life. Elec

Smooth delivery of power has surprising downstream effects. The wear on ball joints and tyres for EVs can be significantly less due to not having as much jerk (derivative of acceleration) from their motor.

There is an AER paper in naked short selling, and Smith and other experimentalists have done extensive work on mechanism design. When the top journal publishes on it, and someone wins a Nobel for the area, I’d say there is theory to cover i

Thats fine, but then don't title the blog post "Doubling down on open", make it "Creating a more profitable business model".

I expect Elastic to not pretend they are doing this in the spirit of getting contributions back. Just say that this is in the interests of their business model.

They didn’t want to lose his audience to a competitor more than they wanted to ban him. It’s not political backing, it’s preferring money over morals.

He was already in the process of ditching Twitter for a right wing platform. Twitter dragged their feet for so long because they didn’t want a competitive platform to take his audience. This isn’t Twitter suddenly finding their morals, they

More fascinating to me is that Garmin uses Sony for GPS chips. Given their long history and penetration in marine and aviation, I’m surprised they can’t or don’t want to compete with Sony. Sad if this means Garmin is on the decline.

The used workstations make a lot of sense for low noise and great price. Focus on RAM. Homelabs may not need a lot of CPU as things are generally idle, but admins always find a reason to run more VMs and eat up all the RAM they have. I went
