Seattle does a good job of publishing stats about their water and it is tested at multiple different locations. However, as you allude to, you should test your individual water as well.

Yep, this was the longest part of the process. Plumbers were in and out in 3 days but left a huge mess to deal with, which we were aware of.

I tested the water at a local company. Did multiple water tests. First pull in the morning, another one after flushing for a few minutes and then in multiple areas. Home inspector let us know we may have lead in the joints for the pipes whi

As far as I know newer homes are using pex these days. I lived in a newer townhome prior to this house and that was pex too. There’s a place in Fremont that does water testing.

Yes, a lot of the old pipes were left in place. That seems to be fairly common as they are difficult to remove given they are made of copper

Replaced it with higher-end pex. Yes, there is a trade-off there, but to me the effects of lead over long periods of time are very scary. I also have a filter for our actual drinking water that is able to filter some micro plastics as well.

I have a young toddler so would have needed multiple filters throughout the house. They tend to like to drink from the bath and my anxiety can’t handle that.

I recently did a full replacement of my lead-soldered water pipes in my 1970s home in Seattle. Despite how much people rave about how great the drinking water is in Seattle, many homes have older piping systems, which will test positive for

Different businesses. GitHub moat is nothing like Dropbox. Most content on GitHub is extremely small. Terabytes there is an outlier.

What promise? You know agreements change all the time right? Google photos, gmail, etc all used to be unlimited until recently. They’re running a business on money not promises from some forum reply.

What do you expect to happen? Continue to host your data for free? This is such an odd thing to write about.

My team is testing these out for our on-perm storage system. Not much to say vs previous generations unless you’re in the hardware engineering space.

This won’t last long. Waymo has a treasure chest waiting to be deployed as soon as they start expanding more.

The thing with Netflix is that they have such few open roles and there are plenty of other liquid high comp companies that pay similar. It was all about the original stock growth that just stuck I guess

Can anyone recommend a good reverse osmosis filtration that is actually certified and made by a company you can actually trust? I have one now, but not sure that it filters some of the PFOS/PFAS chemicals. There are so many clearly sca

Probably for just a short period of time before it’s erasure coded

I really doubt that she's actively involved anymore. Her family's overall portfolio is worth 100s of millions, so she likely has her money parked in some family office managing her money for her. NVDA is one of the hottest stocks

This is similar to Netflix running on AWS and Amazon being a direct competitor. It could work.

You’re forgetting about replication and erasure coding overhead. 10 exabytes seems very low tbh. I’d put it closer to 50-100EB at this point.

The more data you have, the more savings. Savings at 1 exabyte are way different than savings at 10, 20, 50 exabytes. This ends up being a lot of storage racks. File revisions is a minimal part of the story.

It does change due to deletes. Otherwise, it would be obscenely expensive to never delete data. Garbage collection is hard but since it’s async it’s also possible to do efficiently while on SMR.

Doesn’t take much for a story to trend. Also, it’s an interesting topic.

Anthropic is this alternative case with even more funding. How’s that working out for them?

HDDs designed for industry have a lifespan of longer than 5 years in typical data centers. In fact, recently there have been many teams across industry expanding the lifetime of HDDs past 5 years well into 6 and 7. You can also check out Ba

It's FUD. If you are being so vague without any critical argument, then there's nothing of substance here.

Once, I took Calculus 2 in the summer at a local community college to save some money before attending University. In my class were what I assume to be two brothers. The oldest was probably 12 and the youngest was 8. I thought that was so c
