Wow. This is incredibly dishonest. Monsanto sues farmers for re-planting seeds that blow onto their land, spraying all of their crops with roundup (killing the non-Monsanto plants), and re-planting the survivors. If you don't believe i

What compression was used before Arq 5? lz4 is super fast, but not particularly space-efficient compared to some slower compression algorithms. Since Arq customers are the ones paying the storage bills, this doesn't seem like an entir

I have the Pixel 2015 with 16GB, and run Archlinux on it. It's awesome. There were some of the normal Linux hiccups early on (sound/trackpad had some issues) but they seem to have been completely ironed out now. It's a fantas

Right, I completely agree with you. You can't really out-diversify the entire economy tanking. But GP's claim seemed (to me) to be that that's exactly what university endowments do (or attempt to do). GP claimed that univ

If you have an understanding of functions like map, filter, and reduce, transducers are actually pretty easy. Say you have `(map inc [1 2])`. You can run that, and get `'(2 3)`. A transducer is the `(map inc)` part of that call (slight
