The beauty is: we’re going to find out soon enough. So far it doesn’t seem like Twitter is going to have any problem surviving.

Lenovo isn't close. I have several generations of X1 Carbons, and they all do terrible things like: - Scratch their own screens when lids are closed - Have failing LCD connectors (especially true with my 4k variant). - Flex terribly.

They take commodity hardware, organize a balance of physical CPU/network/storage for a given deployment, and then they let you deploy VMs across that unified fabric in your own datacenter.

Or, I just pointed out that you went into the conversation with a boring assumption. It's transparent.

Agreed,.. with drones, the cost to attack this infra will drop by orders of magnitude faster than the ability to defend against it. This isn’t the cyberpunk world I had planned on living in.

Please try not to be tedious. If you want to stir the pot, bring up the fact his mother selected a Nobel prize winner to have kids with, so clearly had bias, or something more creative.

.. induction and resistive-element electric hobs have drastically different efficiency profiles. They should be kept in different categories. It's like comparing 2 stroke and 4 stroke gasoline engines.

Maybe if you’re a boomer. We’ve gone through iterations: - for buying IBM - for buying Microsoft - for buying Oracle - for buying Cisco - for buying AWS … what’s next?

They will, unless you're asking them to do something completely out of their planned provisioning. Then it gets very expensive, very quickly, and you're expected to front that cost. e.g. pricing out a run of fiber down 10 miles o

Yah, but you’re talking apples and oranges. Fiber “literally everywhere” usually requires a massive capital outlay. I’m not getting 25G fiber to my house in Taos, NM or Bend, OR without many tens of thousands of dollars in up front costs

Why are you bringing up something unrelated as a gotcha for something nobody is commenting about? This is related to Germany energy policy. Trump brought up the danger of depending on Putin’s Russia to the Germans, and they laughed at him.

by asguy 4y ago
It started as C. It’s interesting to watch people post comments, as though C vs C++ makes the distinction in “safety” in a code base. The take away I’m getting is most have programmed in neither.

Ba-zing. I was thinking the same thing. It’s incredible how much of a hammer mental practitioners think they have. It’s borderline criminal how so many have turned into a nail.
