Note that I have heard of a number of data hoarders who have jumped onto those new enterprise plans with lots of data stored, and there are no reports of caps or data culls - yet.
Can anyone recommend an alternative place to store a couple TBs of data offsite? I don't necessarily need backups, but somewhere to archive large files and get them back when need be. Right now I used google drive, and uncheck the folder when I no longer need it locally.
I have it maxed out. It doesn't look bad but it doesn't look like it's worth the space on my disk.
Backblaze kind of limits this by requiring their backup client to have seen a given file in the last 30 days. Beyond that the file is eligible to be pruned. So in practice people dumping data into Backblaze can only keep it there for 30 days, or must have an equivalent amount of storage space locally.

Honestly, this sounds less like "falsehoods programmers believe about names", and more like "natural language processing is terrible". A real name policy is unconscionable, of course, but "Found 1 sheeps."-isms on the display side are only a serious problem (rather than a nuisance) to the extent that they trigger (possibly latent) serious problems in something else.
Yes, because saving a dollar is saving a dollar, no matter where you go.

Say I make $150k/yr after taxes in Silicon Valley and spend $6000/mo, which is about $72k/yr. Which means I save $78k/yr (and savings compound over time, as do pay raises).

If I relocate, I'm making $128k/yr after taxes and spending $4800/mo, or about $57600/yr. I'm saving $70k/yr, a whopping $8k/yr difference.

That's highly individual. I pay approximately that much with pay-per-GB data plan. Except now that I'm constantly home, I don't use the data, so my bills are lower.

Same - it is an individual matter. I can definitely remember cases where I worried about not using something after I paid for it in advance and feeling bad (gym memberships immediately come to mind). Paying in advance makes every moment of your life into a "should I use the things I paid for now or later?" decision.

My original point is just that the framing from WSJ doesn't capture accurate compensation factors well.

To your point: I think that's irrelevant/off topic. There's probably a theoretical % of employees who could go remote that in turn will make a company move office space or fire cooks. Otherwise, those are fixed costs and don't come into the picture here.

I don't think either % get hit for the class of SWE I'm referring too, so it's just lost benefits to the SWEs.
Hmm. Very interesting.

Yes and no. Realize most problem areas are hospitals and factory farms where antibiotics are everpresent.

I seem to run out of it quite fast. Even if we exclude all the new app install space, a typical 64 GB phone will have around 50 GB usable space.

50 GB is 66 mins of 4K 60 fps video or about 5000 RAW photos. I understand that in a city this might be enough but consider if you are traveling.

You will likely store songs for listening offline, you might not have wifi available with you to sync daily so you can't keep deleting your photos and videos once you have synced them.

Realize most problem areas are hospitals and factory farms where antibiotics are everpresent.

There is an entire research area called offensive security which includes what is possible and what actions stay undetected. Attacker might be root/admin on this machine and gaining access to more creds allows the adversary to move to other machines.

So in a sense we know its possible but unless someone abuses these things to demonstrate it, organizations won't care or be able to detect compromises and lateral movement. Real world adversaries do these things, most notably was when Google was throughly compromised by a foreign nation state for instance.

Also, it gets even more interesting for malware if its running on a bastion host because then malware has access to all the forwarded keys!
The idea that sex is non-binary and socially constructed is certainly around. The first time I heard it was about a year ago on an podcast interview from Sam Harris with an expert in the field of gender studies or something, saying we should consider that gay men might actually be women.

One recent event that brings it to light is JK Rowling said something along those lines, basically that women menstrate¹, and that caused a lot of controversy. I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty of articles against her for saying that.

When the US Treasury sells treasuries and the Fed buys them, the result is that they don’t have to be repaid. (If held to maturity, the money goes to the Fed, and the Fed’s profits go to the government.) The Fed bought about 2 trillion in treasuries since the beginning of the year and this could be thought of as printing money, if it isn’t undone.

I wonder (since it wasn't mentioned in the linked article) if this is another experiment to test the Randall-Sundrum Model[0], given that the article says:

"We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes are produced at the LHC. Normally, when people consider the multiverse, they think about the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, where every possibility is actualized. This can not be tested so it's a philosophy and not science. this is often not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions. “As gravity can effuse of our universe into the additional dimensions, such a model may be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.”

That said, given my ignorance, it's probably something else altogether.

That's for sure one way to look at it, but I prefer to view VS as looking at the concept of consensus as a spectrum and providing tools in many interesting points on that spectrum. Yes, the question of "who gets to participate in the consensus protocol itself" is itself solved through total consensus in VS (and a total consensus protocol older than Paxos). But the way that is then used to bootstrap looser and more performant views of consensus as a first class concept I believe makes it still interesting to bring up in a discussion of consensus in general.

You're missing a big part of the picture. It is well established that some patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 either never produce detectible levels of antibodies, or have them fade away quickly. In order to measure actual infection numbers we need to look beyond antibody seroprevalence, and factor in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell assays as well.

I also wonder how much fear is simply due to having access to more data, and how much is kind of a feedback loop due to actions stemming from that fear causing even more fear.

But 2 parameters that are different than the past:

1) The rate of change of job destruction from automation and outsourcing to up and coming countries may not be the same over all time periods. If it happens slowly enough, then it may not be perceived by people and it may only have a negligible economic effect if the obviated people are able to be put to use elsewhere.

But with computers and mobile high speed internet and GPS, you can roll out products that obviate entire fields within years if not months. Email/Calendars/Online Shopping/Travel Search/Reviews/Search Engines/Online Auctions/Craigslist/Real Estate/low cost index funds have all laid waste to enormous numbers of people's professions or lowered the barrier to entry heavily. The younger generation has no or much lower demand for travel agents, secretaries, stock brokers, real estate agents, journalists, etc.

2) The birthrate in the past pretty much guaranteed growth. If many people have 3 and 4 children, then growing demand and hence growing growth is basically built into the system. But what happens if people start having 0, 1, and 2 children? And they're all utilizing databases and internet connections to cut out numerous middlemen that their numerous parents and grandparents needed to use?

The Treasury simply issues the bonds. It isn't analogous to borrowing money, as there is no collateral to put up and no other entity in the economic system needs to have any savings in order for the US Treasury to issue the bonds. The bonds are traded one-to-one for reserves at the maturity dollar value, so this is not borrowing. It is a swap.

Merely having a different purchase value from maturity value is not enough to qualify a bond purchase as borrowing either, because Bond issuing is not restricted by any economic opportunity cost. The amount of Bonds issued is an simply edict by Congress, when it passes a Budget resolution.

Am I the only one that finds this astounding? Not to mention the inability to take an aux cord.

It's one thing for phones to have these lock-in properties, but not being able to aux in audio into a speaker feels wild to me.
That's a good idea. But I don't think it actually works, at least with the obvious way to do it.

Suppose you have a lathe whose screw thread has errors in pitch such that the position of the middle thread is incorrect. With the right gears, you can use that lathe to cut a second thread with a different pitch. But regardless of what pitch you choose, the middle of that second thread will have the exact same absolute error in that position as the original thread. So you haven't actually improved anything.

The best I can think of to improve the accuracy of a thread is to measure the thread against multiple length standards, and grind/lap away material by hand to bring the actual position along the thread length as close as possible to your length standards. However, as the number of length standards you can practically measure against is limited, you'll need to already be at a point where relative pitch error is small. Averaging out errors with a long follower nut is probably one way to do that.
