The binary prefixes aren't particularly useful when talking about IOPS. They're useful for storage since a lot of structures are powers of two (eg. 512 byte or 4096 byte sectors), but that doesn't apply to IOPS.

$1.5 million in 2007 dollars is about $2 million in 2022 dollars. In the Bay area, with a FAANG income, that's somewhat within reach. It's a pretty good point though that it's just a hypothetical survey, and that most people

It's coming from the Atlantic, so it makes sense that they'd pick people that the reader is more likely to identify with (people with higher education and incomes). I didn't get the same vibe as you did from the article. It s

Of all the major tech companies, Google is the one that invests the most in their development tools, so that's unlikely to be the cause. It seems more that the article is trying to namedrop Google as a reason to read their blog post, s

That's a fair point. Not knowing much about the space, I assume that they picked an important mixer. If that's not the case, then maybe it's just for show and it won't have a meaningful impact, just like the war on drugs

Isn't this the kind of problem that ECN is supposed to solve? Unless the buffers are very small compared to the port throughput, the upper layers should be able to handle it.

Hadn't considered the fact that wallet balances are public, but it seems like a rather niche need as opposed to having the ability to launder funds and irrevocably transfer them. The latter I believe is very appealing to people who are

It depends on how you see it. One way to look at it is to say "I derived this rule based on what the ratio of licit to illicit usage is, thus it should apply everywhere." From that perspective, then yes, your observation that it w

There's a value to having slack. Most novel ideas come from having one's mind wander, not by being constantly busy with coding. Obviously, there needs to be a balance between being constantly busy and just slacking all the time.

Wow, thanks for sharing, I stand corrected. I wonder what causes these buildings to have such restrictions on plumbing. Maybe it's like elevator shafts where they eventually take up a lot of space if the building is very tall.

Out of curiosity, why would it be plumbing? There should be enough capacity to handle both fresh and black water, considering the high occupancy of typical office buildings.
