   If you get your MBA at Emory University, you learn about the New Coke fiasco. In a building named after Roberto C. Goizueta. The Coke executive responsible for New Coke. I suspect the irony is often lost on the latest cadre of MBA grads.

   Sorry if you took that personally. Living in a mud hut where it rains 120 days a year doesn't sound like the solution. Bricks work better.

   After being at, oh, 5-6 Splunk shops I have yet to see one not fall into what I call the "Splunk Death Spiral". 1) Have a massive logging problem. 2) Get sold on Splunk. 3) Implement Splunk and pour all your data into

   Heaven forbid I know how to extend WiFi ranges or otherwise accommodate outliers. If only such technology existed. But sure, getting off my ass to change the temp or see who is at the door is basically an unthinkable inconvenience in thes

   I didn't feel the need to enumerate every advantage bats have. And where I leave, there are not nearly enough bats to keep the mosquitos anything like under control.

   We have bats. IME, they're no big deal outside of the house (cute-ugly, but don't play with them), but if they annoy you putting up some bat houses away from where you don't want them seems to work. Inside your attic, o

   I have a friend who bought a very expensive condo on the 20-something floor in one of those fadish^H^H^Htrendy floor-to-ceiling glass buildings. When I visited all I could say was "Gorgeous view. You're going to hate living here

    Do you want to be comfortable for reasonable AC cost or watch cat videos in HD instead of SD. Decisions, decisions.

    Depends on your definition. The 8271 wasn't programmable by anyone but Intel (at least, they never made that a market option), and the second core was more of a bit-oriented coprocessor, sorta like saying the 80486 is a 2-core process

    The cynic would say the security implications are the side effect, since selling more, new chips is the goal.

    If we're going that direction, National Semiconductor had a 2 'core' COPS4 processor in 1981[1]. I have some in a tube somewhere (unused). [1] https://www.cpushack.com/2014/08/25/national-semic

    This is beyond true. Read and understand what your cloud SLAs are , not what you think they are or what you think they should be. There was significant consternation generated when I pointed out that the SLA for availability for an Azure

    A HN reader would expound on why building you own camera is a waste of time, and anyway it should be written in Rust, and should have used a RISC-V or Mill processor, then gone back to reading HN.

    Just in my suburb of a major city, within, say 5 miles of me, physical banks that aren't the top 5: a bunch of small banks (Southstate, Cadence, MemberFirst, FirstCitizen, OZK, Unity National, Southern First, First Horizon, City Nation

    "Big banks have most of the money" and "Big Banks have gotten bigger" has absolutely nothing to do with "Are there small banks". I was talking to some folks I know in this world this week about a small bank th

    In the US, small local banks are everywhere. There's an entire ecosystem that matches capital to start a bank with experienced management teams that run the bank (not just anyone can be an executive at an OCC chartered bank). There a
