Servers also get told to push the "specials" which many times are only "special" in the eyes of the owner.

Hmmm, it said "2000x more reliable than a commodity disk drive" in the article which I misunderstood (I guess that is a comparison to a local HD) + plus my inability to do math late at night :-) Thank you for the correction!

For companies that have a few hundred of these running at a time, it sure does! Also, it's a 2000x ratio, not 200..., and 1/500 years vs. 1/1,000,000 years.

Eh, it's not so complicated. io1/io2 is about $12/month per 100 GB, and $60/m per 1000 IOPS. So 200 GB and 10,000 iops would be $624 With the caveat that (io2) cannot support more than 500 IOPS per GB. gp2 is $10/m

It definitely varies, though under 400 lbs would be tough to find....it takes a significant amount of effort to make a light, high power engine. Electric motors OTOH are well understood, and relatively easily engineered. The point still sta

Electric motors are simpler, more reliable, smaller, lighter, almost perfectly efficient, and have better torque characteristics than ICE. You can't compare the energy storage density in isolation. Engines are heavy...Model S's mo

According to this[1], they got about the same annual amount. "our source told us Moz will likely pocket $400m to $450m a year between now and 2023 from the arrangement, citing internal discussions held earlier this year." [1] http

Why don't you ask Brendan Eich how much he was willing to be paid to be CEO? Being CEO of Mozilla could attract highly qualified, passionate people, who are not primarily driven by "competitive compensation". You know; the sa

Errr, probably you should read it again? Natural gas has about half the CO2 emissions per unit of energy as coal. Maybe this[1] or this[2] is clearer. [1] https://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/co2_vol_mass.php

1. You also need to take into account non-wage compensation (e.g. healthcare). 2. This also provides a certain amount of "rough justice" for replacement of unreported wage income. While ordinarily that would not be an appropriate
