It is pretty easy to bottleneck your system with a couple NVMe sticks.

This is why intra-org comms should go through something like Zulip. It is easy for others to follow asynchronously and posts tend to get automatically categorized by senders if people responsible for channels yell at people to categorize pr

As was said by rossdavidh in the comments, "eyeballing the maps, I don't see a great correlation". I suspect this might have something to do with perception of supportive community rather than actual numbers. When to-be paren

Can this be exploited to confirm some action automatically? Or to prevent some site from being indexed by flooding it with invalid links?

Some of your points are valid, but I still wouldn't choose to live in neither Russia, China, India nor northern America. I do think about emigration from time to time, but despite all the problems, EU really is the most livable place o

That's because they don't live in a community where it is normal to pool childcare and rotate, so they do everything by themselves. Grandparents also still go to work, do no help on that front either.

I think your argument is too strong. I'd be willing to agree that humans are happier when there are clear expectations and consequences. Well, as long as the only reachable consequence is not "too bad, you are going to be exploite

For sure. Ever tried to go to bed immediately after sending the last email, your mind still preoccupied by work? It's impossible to get a good sleep like that. At least for me. A hour or two of unwinding with a book or a Star Trek epis

Then start adding FPGAs! Seriously, this has been talked about for ages now. If every platform had a good enough FPGA, it could be used for cryptography and/or to accelerate some specific computations. Abd without having a set of algor

Splitting in any other way than 50:50 would change the power dynamic. The richer would have some leverage over the poor one. The poor one would would obviously see this as unfair. I suggest retrying the experiment with non-divisible outcome

Sometimes it's not even about budget. I've seen clerks actively discourage people from asking for the benefits even before the official evaluation.

by mordae 4y ago
You can't do that. It's important to redistribute inflation every year in the budget so that you explicitly "help" your target demography and newspapers can write about that. /cynical

It's happening mostly because the politicians advocating for these dysfunctional policies are ignorants corrupted by their business friends who really don't want people to feel safe enough to ask for more money. At least here in E

It doesn't identify the client, though. So the site only learns that the IP has someone on that domain among its contacts. They probably already know more than that, because they've seen some emails being exchanged. Not 100% tight

You confuse capitalism with trading. Capitalism tends to monopoly and no amount of regulation can fix it, because politicians can be bought or coerced given enough cash.

Most people don't really think about the world they live in. They listen to the radio, watch TV and don't see any hidden agenda. They just simply learn to parrot what they hear. Then ask them, framing the question in a familiar wa
