Overheating machines is very common. Even if you only own ten thousand machines it’s pretty much assured you’ve got one machine out there with a cracked heat sink or similar thermal issue.

It’s just the org chart being reflected in their stack architecture. There is a group responsible for machine health. That group doesn’t run any services. There is a group that operates GFEs. They don’t own any machines.

Historically, google has chosen to leave these problems to the service layer. Their internal systems detect these events but don’t readily remediate them. I think this is great policy, it’s the reason why Google’s stack has excellent, sophi

Why do people ever fly? Something like a quarter of people who travel by air contract a respiratory infection from doing so. It's an extremely effective way to spread disease.

This is because most people are unable to suppress their reflexive response to being asked what's half of 20, not because people don't understand exponentiation.

OK I'm convinced. What's the 52 for, then?

Or you could present them with the classic cognitive reflection question: A lake has one lily pad. Every day the number of lily pads doubles. After fifty days the lake is completely covered by lily pads. How many days did it take to cover

OK, but what's it good for today? Kosovo was 20 years ago. If the B-2's role is to fly conventional missions, the MQ-9 can be armed with the same weapons that the B-2 carries.

What's the mission and purpose of the B-2 these days? It's a penetrating strategic bomber. The justification for it was that it could strike mobile Soviet ICBM launchers. It was never going to be any good for that. What's

I don’t doubt it but statistically New York has a very high average commute time compared to other American cities.

Fundamentally there is no transportation solution to land use problems. If your destinations are inconveniently far apart, no bicycle, tram, bus, or train can fix that. The closest you can get to the convenience of a car without all the e

On rough roads I’ve never been happier than on my longtail Xtracycle Edgerunner. With the seat post far removed from the axle, and a flexible steel frame, and Big Apple tires, it is ultra-comfortable.

If you have further to go you’ll be even less happy with the sporting bike because it can’t carry your stuff. The solution to long distances is electric bikes, not sports bikes.

This is the whole problem with American bicycle culture summarized in a single post. There’s way too many carbon-fiber sports bikes and not anywhere near enough step-through town bikes with panniers, fenders and lights.

At G scale you could never afford to run something as grossly wasteful as chef. It would be cheaper to have several full-time engineers maintaining a dedicated on-host config service daemon and associated tools, than it would be for some r

That is a generous interpretation. The museum didn't acquire them, they were founding artifacts of the museum. Serious scholars had already questioned their authenticity before the museum even opened, but it doesn't matter becau

How would the open version support things like the hot functions layer? It makes sense these are missing.

Right, VRBO focused on vacation rentals, i.e. places where short-term stays are welcome, customary, and legal. AirBnB decided to apply the same model in cities were the practice is unwelcome, novel, and unlawful.

Croatia is a moderately corrupt mafia state. My personal view on this was formed when a Croatian coast guard officer demanded a bribe from me. But also https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_percept..

One day I was just getting drunk with a pal in Istanbul and we decided to see if we could get an Airbnb ... in Mogadishu. Sure enough there was one, a real nice looking place listed dirt-cheap by a new account that seemed to be based in Sey

VRBO was Airbnb years before Airbnb decided to take their business model and add white-collar crime on top. Just like computer-dispatched car services existed for decades prior to Uber.

The number of affected people is pretty large, but it's also worth remembering that about half of American households have no direct exposure to stock markets: no pension, no 401(k) plan, no direct holdings. If you're trying to p

There are a lot of cities that seem superficially cheaper based on housing prices, but are more expensive including transportation costs, i.e. two cars per household.

True for much of it, but if you look at something like cord.h, it's almost free of template programs. Google C++ application code isn't all that spiffy, to be honest. I would say most of the code is dedicated to stuff that nobod

The white house said that testing is going "really smooth" and all travelers are being tested two hours ago on live TV, both are lies, obviously the white house is not on board with Fauci's message.

That "codesearch" is only superficially related to this one. The main feature of _this_ codesearch that makes it so useful is the cross references to callers, callees, and overrides. Ye olde codesearch has more in common with thi
