Big nuclear reactors are cheaper on the $/MW metric than small ones. Big steam power plants are also cheaper on the $/MW than small ones.

It's not that clear how much economy of scale is there with a modular design and if it's enough to displace the diseconomy of making smaller plants. But the one thing that gets cheaper with a small size is safety mechanisms, and those are a big thing.

It would be interesting to know how Larry Ellison is handling that risk. If CA was to go down that path he seems like an obvious target.
I have no direct experience in this, but an acquaintance of ours whose startup exited successfully is similarly leaving CA for tax reasons. My light understanding is that CA has some pretty tight rules around how often you can work in CA before you automatically become a resident for the purposes of taxes. If they find out that you’ve worked in CA too much I presume they’ll try and tax your yearly income.

Anyone who has dealt with diverse, mixed-distro environments can tell you that CentOS / RHEL is a lot more "stable" than Ubuntu. Go try to script ip address changes or MAC reporting across Ubuntu 12.04 - 20.04 for instance, theyve changed the tooling like 3 times. With CentOS, deprecation has a long tail, so whatever works on 8.0 is likely to work in 7.0 (going back to 2012) and maybe even 6.5.

Likewise, in those mixed environments, go run `apt upgrade` and `dnf upgrade` across the board; your CentOS / RHEL breakage will be quite small, compared with the havoc that will occur in your Ubuntu deployment.
The article is another entry in a long series of bad ZFS articles.

For some reason a lot of people get to a point where they're comfortable with it and suddenly their use case is everyone's, they've become an expert, and you should Just Do What They Say.

I highly recommend people ignore articles like this. ZFS is very flexible, and can serve a variety of workloads. It also assumes you know what you're doing, and the tradeoffs are not always apparent up-front.

If you want to become comfortable-enough with ZFS to make your own choices, I recommend standing up your ZFS box well before you need it, and play with it. Set up configs you'd never use in production, just to see what happens. Yank a disk, figure out how to recover. If you have time, fill it up with garbage and look for yourself how fragmentation effects resilver times. If you're a serious user, join the mailing lists - it is high-signal.

And value random articles on the interwebs telling you the Real Way at what they cost you.

I'm convinced articles like this are a big part of what gives ZFS a bad name. People follow authoritative-sounding bad advice and blame their results on the file system.

This. If you can cancel college debt, colleges will more willingly dump piles of debt onto their students as well. It will also fuel the soaring cost of education to go even higher.

The problem is that debt financing is given to people who never should have gotten it in the first place. You should not give loans to such bad investments, not pay off the bad investments while allowing continued issuance of debt.

No, cache-oblivious B-trees are not a variant of B-trees (although I can see why you might think the name suggests that).

It was a good comment, but should have some context wrt the tweet, otherwise people will assume you're echoing the sentiment. Politicians like that are going to be really bad for California in the long run.

This is a hard balance, though. Using unique, randomly generated passwords for the 30 or so sites I routinely use is safer against breaches, but starts to almost require a password manager, which presumably can be broken if someone is already exfiltrating secrets from your phone.

In my opinion, the only route to actually make this work and still be good against breaches is to memorize a function that generates a unique password given the website name. If you type it enough you’ll eventually memorize it, otherwise you can just use that function to figure it out more slowly.

Not to mention that if you have access to my texts a lot of sites will just let you reset my password.

Household incomes are at an all time high, even after adjusting for inflation [0]. I disagree that music doesn't deliver the same that it used to: music is one of the great joys of being alive, as essential to mankind as food and water. The value of being able to instantly stream hundreds of millions of songs on demand is a significant service improvement compared to the CD days, where you had to go to a store to shop for music and could only discover new music based on the radio or a friend's recommendation.

Yeah, recounts are pretty silly at this point since it is virtually impossible that they could change anything. On the other hand this election has yet again (just like when Al Gore lost) highlighted how bad some US states are at holding elections and counting votes. Why is it so hard?

Why should regular people trust the Bay Area perspective on what counts as "fact-free ranting"? Tech has no legitimate authority to decide what is true. The mindset and moral system that's overwhelmingly dominant in tech is abhorrent to much of the rest of the country and the world. Why should this prominent but fringe Bay Area mentality dominate?

It's simply not tech's place to be making these calls. It's arrogance and hubris and it's going to lead to a backlash.

> 92% of people have health insurance

I don't mean to take away from anything else you've said, but that statistic is incredibly misleading. It specifically states 92% were insured for at least part of 2019. It also ignores the quality and effectiveness of the insurance.

https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2...

> In the first half of 2020, 43.4 percent of U.S. adults ages 19 to 64 were inadequately insured.

> The adult uninsured rate was 12.5 percent. In addition, 9.5 percent of adults were insured but had a gap in coverage in the past year and 21.3 percent were underinsured.

> A quarter of those who were continuously insured and did not meet the threshold for underinsurance also reported problems paying bills.

> People who reported problems paying medical bills experienced lingering financial problems including damage to their credit ratings and depleted savings.

You are making me think when my mom was obsessed with it, and she started to actively think of toasters (for whatever reason). There was an old school screensaver on probably a windows 2000ish computer that had the flying toasters she never noticed.

She was CONVINCED the universe changed on her and made that screensaver out of thin air, instead of the simple notion that she was now consciously trying to make herself aware of toasters, which is why she never really noticed it before. Sigh.

It likely posed an appreciable risk to his business ventures that CA at some point will try to tax unrecognized capital gains,

People like Musk leverage their paper wealth into real (risky) loans and the like to support their business ventures (and personal lives)--part of the "socialize risk, privatize profits" model of pseudo-capitalism they practice.

A thoughtless approach to taxing unrecognized gains is not a good idea, but I certainly understand why it might be considered, at least for some minimum threshold. There's already something like this in the way some stock options are handled: individuals are taxed at exercise on the difference between the FMV and the strike price, whether they sell or not. I don't see why a similar principal couldn't be made to work with actual equities, at least for some high-value accounts/holdings.

Or, framed differently, California is looking for deep pockets to bail out their failing budget rather than adjust their policy to match what they can afford.

The same has been happening in New Jersey with its insane taxes that don't really go to pay for services anymore and have diverted from transportation & infrastructure projects for decades now to bail out their severely underfunded pension funds...where the pensioners have almost entirely moved out of New Jersey to avoid the same taxes.

There's a point where what you get out is not worth what you put in. I don't blame Musk at all for doing what's best for himself, his company and (probably) his employees.
