Sounds like you're saying public school is fascism. Is that a correct interpretation of this comment?

Tape is still half the cost per TB, but you have to be storing at least several hundred TBs to break even with the cost of a single tape drive. For two it's certainly well over a petabyte.

Cryptocurrency architectures also change - Bitcoin is just about the lone holdout that never evolves. The hashing algorithm for Monero is designed so that a Monero hashing ASIC is literally just a CPU, and it doesn't even matter what t

The network security arms race escalates once again. If we just assumed every computer was publicly accessible and stopped blocking IP addresses, criminals couldn't make any money from this sort of thing. Bright Data SDK is included in

You must in order to know whether you can do something. The set of things you can do is rarely equal to the set of things the law says you can do.

In Germany things are frequently labelled "Hausgemacht" or "housemade" which is designed to make you think "homemade", but actually, any kind of building is a "Haus".

Steam used to be tightly controlled but they loosened it over time - originally only Valve games, then Valve partners, then you had to pay a lot of money, then only a little money. Maybe now they'll tighten it again.

Then reduce minimum costs. Let 50 people share an empty lot and put up a slum made of wooden planks from the hardware store. They won't allow this because it'd make house prices decrease.

Is there any place you can go now that isn't doing a genocide? USA is out, Europe is out, Russia is out, China is out. Obviously the middle east is out. Most of Africa. Australia? They're strongly aligned with the USA though. And

"Reality has a liberal bias" referred to "liberal" as the opposite of "conservative" which is identical to "right wing" - reality has an anti-right-wing bias. Actual political factions are more nuance

Well that makes sense doesn't it? Shortage of X, but we don't want it to be expensive -> add some non-monetary costs of acquiring X. Queues on the iPhone release day, for example - the price of the phone is not just the money y

In poorer places, people would just see a problem exists, and then solve it. Expensive housing? They'll get roommates, put up shacks, or live in cardboard boxes on the street. These things are illegal in expensive-housing places, and t

It doesn't matter what "we" "encourage". This is a natural selection process: all sorts of teams exist, and then the market decides to be captured by certain ones. We do not prescribe which attributes capture the

The Soviet Union won the space race, but I'm not sure if they had property or not. They were a dictatorship, anyway, so we probably don't want to repeat that.

In most cases of adblocking, that would be a good thing. 99% of internet content is complete crap, the equivalent of email spam, that only exists because each piece makes a few dollars a month from ads. On the old internet, without ads, the

That was added to the game after its creator got cynical about it. He said it needed an ending to justify being 1.0, then he sold it to Microsoft because he hated being popular and wanted the game destroyed, as well as money. The actual g

It's copyright infringement by being a derivative work. Maybe. I don't think it's ever been tried in court. They can still blacklist you.

You can, but only if your CPU is directly connected to a flash chip with no controller in the way. Linux calls it the mtd subsystem (memory technology device).

Linux supports raw flash, called an MTD device (memory technology device). It's often used in embedded systems. And it has MTD-native filesystems such as ubifs. But it's only really used in embedded systems because... PC SSDs don&

I don't know why nobody seems to ever begin with: A filter is a voltage divider with frequency-dependent complex impedance. If you can calculate what a resistor network does, or get a computer to do it, you can also calculate what a fi
