I bought the max for everyone in my household. Should be a good savings vehicle for the kids college.

Typically random writes must first set a parity in doubt bit. In HW RAID that doesn’t require an additional write to a metadata location, but is instead maintained in some nv memory. Similarly, a read modify write in software raid-5/6

I was intrigued by your assertion that the previous poster’s statement was incorrect. I’d heard that statement was also correct. Finding a data source online was surprisingly difficult, as almost all graphs on the topic were presented in pe

RedHat is part of IBM. Many of my IBM colleagues had moved 100+ miles from the office when IBM allowed remote work (before Covid). IBM rescinded that remote approval, forcing the engineers to sell their houses and relocate back to the offic

Can someone add a Stonehenge feature to these maps for each overpass. I want to know which day aligns with the sunset/sunrise for every railroad overpass. When the sun sets, it lights up the rails with pinks and purples. I’d love a cof

It’s $4k to rent a two bedroom apt in Palo Alto. That’s $48k/year. After tax, that $120k is just $80k. Leaving our “wealthy” teacher with just $32k to live on, after paying for their apartment. Far from an opulent lifestyle. Notice tha

Why not a spiral with roughly a mile between rings, filled with parks? Then, traversing between any point would be under 30min. The spiral would be 12 miles in diameter, with 6 rings, and all buildings would look out on “Central Park”.

Most my nannies have been high school seniors with half days. Out of the 5 Nannie’s, 3 have gone on to graduate from a 4 year college, and one just finished her associates. One is now a nurse and another is starting med school next year. Th

So, in a post apocalyptic world, all you have to do is take over a billionaires bunker to become the wealthiest person in the world? Sounds simple. Find the air intake. Block it. Wait.

Prop 13 prevents the tax base from growing, which prevents the government from being able to pay the teachers a livable wage. It needs to be reformed.

She describes her sister’s job as filling a cartridge with wafers, and then sending it into some robotic conveyance. And then just sitting there. Probably about as much skill as navigating a car through rush hour traffic to soccer practice.

My nanny’s sister just started working at a semiconductor plant. Unfortunately she’s talking my nanny into joining. So, yes, if they pay enough.

I just want the Windows 95 start menu experience. Simple. Worked. I’ve stopped using Windows because I despise the interface so much. Wasn’t a huge Mac fan, but not that I’ve figured out the quirks, I prefer Mac.

Most accidents by humans are due to intoxication. Could autopilot/FSD do better at paying attention to a street light than a drunk 21 year old texting with his cheating girlfriend at 3am? Yes. That’s where humans make fatal mistakes. W

Civilized countries can’t. But once this technology becomes more widely available, would Hamas hesitate to send a swarm of high altitude drone bombers into civilian populations? If ISIS had this technology, would they have hesitated to carp

“Musk has said Autopilot is “unequivocally safer” than normal driving.” I expect that if Tesla was forced to release all camera footage from each Autopilot related crash, the public would be horrified. I expect it would show that each situa

I disagree. Given a drone high enough that it can’t be shot down with anti aircraft cannons, it must be shot down with a missile. Make the payload powerful enough that it can create damage of much higher cost than the missile, and the defen

The 360 had the best user interface. The jump to metro+Kinect was a bozo move. Sticking with Metro still pisses me off anytime I play Xbox. The reason I play Xbox is to escape my day to day work, and now it just feels like I’m a Windows adm

Until X Æ A-12 is crossing the road in front a Tesla, FSD should be banned from the roads. These self driving car execs are willing to risk my family’s lives, because it costs them nothing. That’s not a sufficient bar.

How difficult is it to build a CRPA receiver? Apparently that’s how the military avoids GPS jamming, and likely why HIMARS is able to remain accurate in the face of Russian jamming (or INS).
