If the person was an actual US citizen, they wouldn’t be able to get them back? Now they were able to exchange an arms dealer for a pot smoking basketball player in Russia. Why can’t they do the same in Salvador?

I wish him well. It’s possible to do this without ever being possible to catch. Have considered building such a device, but now that I see the backlash, I’ll hold off.

You must be careful with many of these failure mode “mitigations”. Even a read after write from physical disk doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the data is hardened on the media. With SAS drives you may be able to also set the FUA and DPO

The policy could just be for rental taxes on SFH. I don’t see a reason society should encourage rentals in the SFH market.

Increasing rental taxes will actually lower housing purchase prices in capacity constrained markets. In such markets, landlords are already demanding the maximum amount their renters can bare. By increasing taxes, the total rent paid by the

So what was different with Klein? He surfaced the information so widely that it couldn’t be contained by the “machine”?

I expect there were 10,000 who knew, and he’s the only one who spoke up. Now, the other 9,999 likely believed it was to thwart terrorism, as this was post 9/11. Maybe those who had visibility into who was being surveyed were checking t

Elon Musk threatens to spend millions against any republican who deviates from Trump’s policies. Without that threat, the republicans would speak up against this assault on American interest and values. I wonder more if Elon has been compro

This was an OEM storage offering back when we sold hard drives. We found a software improvement to our storage arrays which resulted in the customer needing fewer drives. Let’s say that instead of them needing 100 drives, with the software,

We had an OEM relationship with the vendor. Basically one where we didn’t want to upset our long standing goodwill. The dollar auction is accepted at 100% when you offer to keep 60%, suggesting that the receipt does not consider that an ins

I used to work on storage software pricing. We would charge 60% of the value it would bring our customer - based off of the classic behavioral game theory experiment, Dollar Auction. Our customers surprisingly didn’t object.

Why doesn’t Canada just go nuclear and proliferate nuclear technology to any country which the US imposes tariffs upon? If you’re a country with free will, play the game all the way.

I’ve been on it for over 2 years now. Yes you plateau, and if you go off of it (as I had periodically), you will regain weight. Hoping my weight loss resumes now that I’m back to the maximum dosage for a few weeks. As it’s 5pm and I just at

The alternative to immigrant minimum wage strawberry pickers is native born strawberry pickers who would demand significantly higher wages. The capitalists get rich by selling more strawberries at a lower price. It can be both bad for nativ

Are you talking about Mexicans? I live in Arizona, which has been a recipient of Mexican immigration at scale for longer than most other states. The Mexican immigrants do integrate, they do learn English, and within a couple generations the

My brother in law is a pilot, and has colleagues who were impacted by this. What surprised me is that he blames Obama for this. I typically ignore his blame of Obama as some racist tirade, but this seems to point to Obama pushing these chan

Hasn’t Spacex driven down the launch price for the government? A zero-margin government program isn’t necessarily cheaper for society. Much evidence shows that state owned competitions are significantly less efficient than the free market.

After the last election, my left leaning friends, Tesla’s historical core market, will never buy a Tesla. For all practical purposes, a hybrid is a better choice, unless your state restricts carpool lane access to fully electric vehicles. I

Can’t you simply encrypt all traffic across the cable at each end point? I’d be surprised if that wasn’t common practice these days. And if wasn’t common practice when these cables were deployed, seems like it would be possible to retrofit.
