Oh hey, dumb baseless rhetoric! It's ridiculous to describe this age distribution as "a bunch of out of touch boomers": https://nonempty.org/stuff/screenshot_20211006-174820_i708Ao...

We do: b for bits, B for bytes. People are just sloppy when using them.

A French octet is a byte . The b here is a bit.

Come on, this isn't "English terminology": * G(iga) is an SI prefix (insert debate about SI's G vs. IEEE's Gi here) * b(it) is an IEEE unit * p(er) is Latin * s(econd) is an SI unit If there's any criticism to

This is my worry too. I just sold, with the intention of buying back into the market (in a different city). I'm terrified by the amount of people maxing out their abilities to handle the mortgage even at today's incredibly low int

This is hands down the best exhibition of the topic that I've ever seen, and perhaps one of the better CCC talks too! It's for a long time been my go-to reference whenever I encounter someone frustrated about the opaque version of

The big news obviously lies in the percentages. 5 million people is a small market, but not small enough that these market shares are statistical anomalies.

Sure. It's disgusting. But it's not ironic .

How is it ironic to be building doomsday bunkers in the society most likely to be one of the last to fold? It seems like exactly the place to build one, if one were looking to.

I don't think that's true. We know how to produce all the energy we need with almost no GHG emissions. Do that, and put greenhouses everywhere, switch everyone to a purely plant-based diet.
