But if we are arguing if waste is justified then obviously it's not for you or me to decide if it is, including the humans from the future.

I'm just laughing at the inconsistency. If people were really consistent in their views of (un)justified waste, I just don't see the same uproar to those other magnitudes more wasteful things (like eating meat, spending a life playing video games etc.).

It's like being mad about one of the fastest functions in your code when there's many others to optimized.

I also do not want to talk about the philosophical side to taking a life of an ant (delve into what waste is justified or not, and which degrees of dopamine response would justify it).
It seems odd to discuss liquid cooling but spend the first part of the article talking about AC PDUs and their issues. If you are able to use liquid cooling in a data center, aren’t you also sophisticated enough for modern DC to point-of-load?

I can see why supermicro needs to pursue this direction, but it seems inevitable that their business will get eaten up by OCP and integration at the rack, row, and building level.
MS Linux is a very clever way to keep Linux alive without disrupting Windows sales, something that's taken them a long time to figure out and isn't simple from a technical standpoint, either.

Here's the rub. Devs like Linux and open source. That's not going away. Users, however, overwhelmingly live on Windows. The stats aren't even close. Windows owns the desktop, full stop.

How does Microsoft give devs what they want and users, too? By subsuming Linux into Windows. In other words, featurizing it. Rather than extinguish Linux (not doable), Microsoft is extending Linux's reach into Windows boxes. Frankly, it's brilliant and harkens back to the good old days of mainframe virtualization when the OS you run was completely irrelevant and unrelated to the OS the hardware was running.

It's well know that one of the best ways to kill a competitor's product is to featurize it. In other words, add what they do as a feature to your product, making them irrelevant on their own. Linux had already done a pretty good job of making itself irrelevant on the desktop, lacking as it is does even a simple, standardized executable form that regular humans can double-click on and install. This is kind of Job #1 for software. But I digress.

By making Linux a feature of Windows, it won't matter one whit where devs like to work. Their apps will simply run on Windows. Microsoft will provide that one-click executable and they will virtualize the entire environment so well that the Windows user will not know or care that Linux was ever involved. Linux users will get the device support they gripe about not having since the devices will all be virtualized, too.

This is truly the best of both worlds. It's not E^3 (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) because Linux won't be extinguished. Instead, it will continue to be the place where independent and open source dev happens to a large degree. The only change will be Microsoft facilitating the deployment of those "Linux" apps (that term soon to be irrelevant) to a wider audience, and that's a Very Good Thing.

> because you are young you are receiving the privilege of paying less premium for health care

That's a weird way of putting it. Young people are getting far less value from their healthcare premiums than the old. That's how the entire system is able to work.

Health insurance, social security, medicare etc. all discriminate against the young in favor of the old. And I'm not passing judgement for or against such a system. That's just how it is.

That seems to be patently false. The oldest Tamil literature is Sangam literature (except Tolkāppiyam which is about grammar and contains influences from people all around India) which also contains poems for Vishnu, shiva, Durga. Buddhism and Jainism came way later.
I doubt there is any prospect of Tesla "enforcing high standards" for any third party company installing their batteries. Can you imagine a lumber company enforcing high standards in how their lumber is used? Or steel companies enforcing standards on how skyscrapers are made? Or server companies enforcing standards on how server farms get made? We'd call that a massive overreach and power grab, and rightly so. This is the kind of thing that led to the "right to repair" movement.
I had a similar self-checkout error at a home depot. I can't remember what the exact item was but I was buying it in bulk so probably some sort of fastener or screw.

The packaging was clear and the scanner must have gotten the barcode off one of the single items rather than outer bundled item barcode. The cart price was high enough I didn't notice the price difference on one item.

I called and they said not to worry about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> For the rest of Asia, they'd do well to militarize; for Japan and Australia to consider getting nuclear weapons or hosting them,

The idea that we'd ever let Japan have a nuke is ludicrous. Do you really think we'd let a country we nuked twice have such weapons? There is a reason why we are still occupying Japan 75+ years after ww2. And no, it isn't to "protect" japan.

I don't think china would mind one bit. After all, it wasn't china that sanctioned india when they developed nukes...

> communication ability (this is very, very close to being racist…draw your own conclusions)

I'm trying to draw my own conclusion but I'm confused. Communication ability is very important for developers and other technical roles. We need to be able to talk to each other about our work, and in many organizations we also need to be able to work effectively with other non-technical staff.

Of course, this doesn't mean that you have to speak or write the company's primary language in some particular way, as long as you can make yourself understood. Nor does it require that you speak that language as your first language.

Is there something specific about _how_ Big Ass Corporation is evaluating communication ability that is racist?
Why is GDP per capita important at the global level?
More than a dozen sitting members of Congress (of both political parties) have been in their seats for more than 36 years, so forgive me if I find these arguments about long-term and short-term interests moot.

Okay so is the article right? It’s not about smashing innovation but saying popularity is the wrong metric and (CCP) power should be the driving force behind technology development? Do the powerful really always state there objectives obviously like some dastardly Bond villain?
Compression fittings are generally more convenient and cost effective than Pex or copper in small volumes and with little experience. The only downside as you note is leaks if someone doesn’t do them right (or as time passes), but that tends to be more of problem at higher household service line pressures (60+ psi)

If it is a low pressure recirculation system, you can get by with almost no tools and most people if they read instructions at all probably won’t mess it up bad enough to have a leak.

The brake line connectors could be interesting, but aren’t likely to work well stock - brakes are very low
flow, high pressure as they are ‘dead ended’ hydraulic systems used to transfer force, not loops for cooling purposes. Also those bolts can work loose, and then you have leaks. Brakes require experienced technicians or people die, so folks working on brakes tend to be the more qualified and experienced mechanics, and they make sure to torque to spec, clean surfaces, do proper prep, etc. which is not what you want to have to worry about from an idiot proofing perspective.

I think the real problem here is the conflict with the local screen reader. That's also a problem for the screen-reader-specific modifiers (Caps Lock and Insert); the local screen reader intercepts those key-down and key-up events, so they will never get through to the browser.
