Midwest here. I've got 100 Mbps cable for $70/month and can get 1 Gbps fiber for $100. Then there's the 0.5's like a couple DSL services.

I haven't actually measured, but I would swear the mattresses are smaller than standard sizes as well. Every king bed hotel room I've stayed in for the past decade is certainly smaller than my king bed at home. Timeshares and reso

That was fine and dandy in the early-2000's when Moore's Law was still in full swing. Chip makers aren't practically guaranteed a compelling speed and efficiency boost just because a year or two have passed since the last gen

What happens when the SSD in your colo server malfunctions? What happens when the (an) SSD attached to your cloud VM malfunctions? Why do you think those two setups should cost the same?

Huh, lucky. Apparently no one's got them online yet. Just hoping I don't have to wait as long as I did for my last CPU - an i7-6700k. It was quite a few weeks after "release" before I could actually buy one. I'll pr
