This happens a lot with flash in general, mostly because those who manufacture the end user product don't usually make the NAND (or don't always use their own).

I had the issue with "high end" USB sticks a while back during a review. The speeds given are completely irrelevant and always based on best case scenarios. And while a few manufacturers stick to the same formula for controller + NAND for the life of the product (say Sandisk), others just don't care and will silently switch both the controller and NAND with 0 indication on packaging (no rev., no nothing).

On SSDs I can't remember seeing that though, but then again, this is Western Digital we're talking about. A company best known for, let's say, being a very late entrant to the SSD market.

Edit : At least they (kinda) owned up to it after being caught, quoting the updated article : "For greater transparency going forward, if we make a change to an existing internal SSD, we commit to introducing a new model number whenever any related published specifications are impacted,"
The real reason is that the people making electron apps don't know how to make stuff in C++ and don't want to try. This might be a little more excusable before C++11 or if trying to avoid MFC and/or doing everything with win32, but modern C++ and GUI libraries like FLTK, Juce, Qt, etc. are a pretty great way to make something. A FLTK program can start at 100KB without dependencies.
The Muse (YC W12) Is Hiring a Senior Growth/Front End Engineer
By the time ATAPI was around (instead of proprietary CD-ROMs), all of my issues with 2 drives had gone away. You had to jumper them right (cable-select was always hit-or-miss for me, right up until SATA), but if you did that they worked just fine for me.
Totally by coincidence, yesterday I was trying to plot out the cost/kg vs. density Pareto optimality curve. Construction sand is US$0.03/kg and 2.4 g/cc; magnetite is US$0.10/kg and about 5 g/cc (I don't have the notes in front of me); scrap steel is US$0.20/kg and 7.9 g/cc; scrap lead is US$0.95/kg and 11.3 g/cc or maybe a bit less; tungsten is US$30/kg and 19 g/cc; and osmium is US$13000/kg and 22.65 g/cc. I'm interested to know what I'm missing; is there anything denser than steel but cheaper than lead, for example, or denser than magnetite but cheaper than scrap steel? Is there tungsten carbide that's cheaper than tungsten?

Mercury is denser than lead but doesn't have a well-defined market price any more and has certain disadvantages. Many mercury amalgams would be a better substitute in many circumstances, but they might impose high costs on you for reasons that come down to pure superstition.
Bear in mind that we're talking about metallic tungsten here, not tungsten carbide (WC). It's a little slow and expensive but it can be machined in fairly conventional ways, using tungsten carbide tipped tooling.

Tungsten has an enormously high melting point, the normal way tungsten parts are produced, for typical industrial purposes such as radiation shielding, is sintering (powder + heat + pressure) to near-net-shape, finished with a machining pass.

MacOS uses cmd + c/v/x versus ctrl.
If everyone makes the same bet, it can still lead to disaster (real estate must rise! Let's all speculate on real estate! --> eventual disaster).

Or let's put it this way: a rational bet is something like, this thing is worth $50 now, it will be worth at least $100 later. An irrational bet is one like "this thing will be worth more over and over again!" If everyone things like that, then the thing's price will keep rising until the bubble bursts.
I think this is important. I switched to macOS and stopped using my desktop completely because the M1 chip in my MacBook Air is so powerful it beats it by a long shot. It runs literally everything I do so smoothly and without emitting a single sound since there's no fan (and no coil whine under load for those who know what that is on the Intel MacBooks.) Unbelievably, it just doesn't get hot. I'm averaging temps under 30C without a monitor and under 35C with a 4k external monitor attached. Only brief bursts above that when compiling or doing something more intensive, but you don't even feel it. I do everything on this laptop. All my professional work, simultaneous Chrome profiles, dozens and dozens of tabs, video calls through Meet/Zoom, programming, VSCode, Photoshop, watching 4k videos, terminal, everything. It doesn't even stutter, and has NO FAN.
If I have a regret in my observability stack I think it’s got to be influxdb.

I bought in to the TICK stack and planned on using an enterprise support contract when going to production, but every interaction with InfluxData the company has felt a bit sleazy. Trying to push very hard to the cloud offering for example.

That’s bad enough, but the documentation and observability of the database is quite poor, and it’s trivially easy to “vanish” all your data and lock your instance up for hours or days by changing the retention policy of a database. (Not making it much different).

Now of course it’s not TICK at all. More like “TI” as kapacitor and chonograph (dashboarding and alerting respectively) are deprecated products and rolled in to the main offering.

Added to that they completely changed the query language.

I have to say; pick something better if you can. TimescaleDB or Prometheus (which uses openTSDB) are promising.
Desktop OS (Mac, Linux, Windows) needs an authoritarian single person designer that can dictate how UI/UX would work. Democratically developed interfaces suffer from the same paralysis that industrial design faces - You need Ettore Sottsass, Dieter Rams and Jony Ive of software UX/UI. Otherwise it’s an unfocused trend driven graphical gore that community tends to develop. A thousand squeaky wheels can’t stay aligned on the road.

I think they’re all broken. Not just Linux Desktop.
Yeah I had no issues with shipping my Librem 15 laptop, it was only a few weeks. The phone however I opted for the Evergreen release of the Librem 5 hoping to get something a little more polished. I’ve been waiting since summer 2019. It seems they’ve been having issues with manufacturing, possibly due to small order sizes plus semiconductor shortages plus COVID.

I think the reason system76 has less issues is that it isn’t custom silicon. I’m not sure about Pine but perhaps it’s the same case?

The Librem 15 is a decent laptop and is very serviceable / easy to repair but for the price it’s definitely not as good as the build quality of a Dell XPS for example.

I really like the idea of a quality open source phone (hardware and software) that isn’t sold by surveillance capitalists, which is why I support them but I still don’t know if I’ll use it as a daily driver.
That’s great if you need $500k cash. If you have a spare home, this probably doesn’t apply to you. Why take $500k of cash you don’t need now when you can take $700k or more in ten years?
When you think a stock such GameStop is absurdly valued but don't want to take the risk of unlimited losses by shorting, buying a put can be considered, but only if you are willing to lose the amount invested in the put. Even if you are right that a stock is overvalued, it may not fall below the strike price before expiration. For speculative long positions I suggest buying stock instead of call options.
I think Ubuntu-style 'flavours' of distro pattern work well. They're called Spins in Fedora.
The solution is for the police to uphold property rights and forcibly remove trespassers.
I wonder low likely it is that over the course of a lifetime the vaccinated will end up with both forms of immunity. I assume we’ll be exposed to the virus regularly. Would the natural immunity be weaker if it comes from a second, very mild, infection?
Ignoring the other answers, I'll give an analogy I like: the same way the Go compiler is written entirely in Go!
While I believe the logic in the article is sound, I think it missed the mark on what actually transforms cities in such a way.

It's not the cars - they're just tools. It's the insatiable appetite for living space.

There's a trend in the city I grew up in(Warsaw, Poland) that started over 20 years ago and continues to this day - people grew tired of living in crammed, Plattenbau apartments, so they moved to smaller towns(in part inspired by their notion of how Americans live) adjacent to big cities where all the jobs were. Additionally at that time interest rates were so high that this was an option for those who couldn't get a mortgage for an apartment.

Cars followed, but not everywhere. Places close to railways were an exception, but only up to a point, because over time commuters exhausted any spare capacity there was, so the remainder had to drive and bear the not insignificant costs of that. In the meantime a highway was built, but that didn't help for long.

Was Warsaw hollowed-out by this? Hardly. What happened instead is that it started cannibalizing smaller (but still relatively large) cities.
New Study Confirms It's Much Safer to Get Vaccinated Than to Catch Covid-19
Two possible issues the poster may be encountering:

1) Copy-paste shortcuts are different in terminals, on Linux, than they are everywhere else. They are the same, on macOS.

2) Much like drag-n-drop, reasonable support for copy-paste of things that aren't plain text is less common on Linux than on macOS, and attempting it is more likely to either not work or have unexpected effects.
Gold bullion has a healthy market to sell back into though.I don't know the numbers, but i wouldn't be surprised if I could easily sell gold for 80% of "market" value, whereas probably closer to 20% for something like Iridium that has a very small adressable market unless I were to expend considerable effort finding someone willing to pay what it's worth.
Talk to people. Lots of people. Anything they do with a spreadsheet (domain specific business process modeling), or requires manual copy paste from one thing to another (integrations), is ripe for disruption.

Ask for pain points and their workarounds, not peddle your solution.

Let's say they value their time at $30 an hour. You build something that helps them shave an hour a month. Some will definitely pay you that much a month.
> For spike proteins. Not for the other targets you get with natural immunity

From the article: "the new evidence shows that protective antibodies generated in response to an mRNA vaccine will target a broader range of SARS-CoV-2 variants carrying 'single letter' changes in a key portion of their spike protein compared to antibodies acquired from an infection." The study discussed in the article unequivocally states that vaccine-induced immunity is more robust than that from infection.
In the U.S. it’s not enough to have health insurance: You also need to make sure that the healthcare providers you care about accept it.

Furthermore, there’s a wrinkle to watch out for where “renewing” a policy is actually “buying a new policy”. A new diagnosis under the current policy then becomes a disqualifying “pre-existing condition” when trying to get the new policy.
What if you store a large number of keys on the module right from the start, and get all the new keys from that list. That way the key switch message only needs to contain the index of the new key. Even better, store a huge random seed and generate all subsequent keys from that. Then you can also change key size and algorithm as needed without ever having to meet your contact in person again.
Nomadlist is often way off on their estimates. I'd suggest using it for inspiration only and then see prices on Numbeo
>a device when it is first powered on can broadcast out looking for other Amazon WiFi devices in the home and receive the credentials from them.

Ah! That explains it. I was going to be really skeptical that other people's wifi endpoints would "help out" foreign devices, but this makes more sense.
Well, IMO, a new user should pick a distribution that has different DE's available in it's repository. That makes switching and trying different DE's very easy. As opposed to some distros which are specifically tailored to only a specific or supported DE.
In some jurisdictions is even illegal to sing a song to yourself in public.

Copyright around music and film is insane and absolutely detached from reality. Having a copyright for 70 years after the last involved person's death? Because shoveling money into a grave is useful? Why isn't it like patents, 25 years and done?

Also, more vehicles are using the road, true, but you have to remember that it increases over time.

Detroit - In 2021 30.6% of the city's population lives below the US federal poverty level. For a single person that's $16,000 a year.

Pros - Large spirited startup community

Negatives - High levels of crime. Snow and cold weather in the winter months.
Whoops, typo on my part. Sorry about that.
Just don't. Why bundle stuff if the user can just install it using the package manager?

It's easier to add to the system than remove redundant packages, and if the distro developers focus on the repositories and package management software it benefits everyone much more. That's one of the big reasons people go for Arch.

Nobody cares if LibreOffice or Inkscape or whatever is preinstalled. Just put a usable appstore on the taskbar by default, it works for smartphones too. Many distros are about as necessary as Samsung's or LG's customized Android builds.
One of the things I actually liked about macOS was the ability to use ctrl+k and ctrl+y in almost every application (looking at you Microsoft), as that was what my muscle memory had me doing from using a terminal and emacs on Linux anyway.
Your health insurance, presumably. It's another argument for public health insurance.

Understand that the expected benefit of getting COVID vaccines should be positive for everyone -- the expected harm from side effects should be less (often much less) than the expected harm from COVID infection.

There could be public policy reasons for being generous with compensation for side effects, just to increase the vaccination rate, but I think that's a separate issue, and has more to do with the unequal distribution of benefit in a vaccinated population. It could make sense for the old to compensate the young, as the old get more benefit out of others being vaccinated.
Titanium is a good choice, much harder to break than tungsten and cheaper than tungsten or silver, too.
You make it sound like people don't want to leave in these places just because they don't like the climate or something. They don't want to live there because they can't live there. Like yes, they could survive there, but most people couldn't get a decently paying job so even if you get a house for 1$, you're still brokr, just not homeless.

If we want to have people to stop moving to big cities and live wherever they can afford, we need to have the infrastructure to allow people like that to work and socialise. I'd love to buy one of those 1$ houses (although these don't seem to exist as such in Central Europe) and move to some dying industrial town, but if that meant I'd have to work for minimum wage in that one local pub or gas station, and if there were no other people under 50 in a 100km radius, I don't think I'd last long there. I'd rather take my chances in the city.
They can't stay if you catch them fast enough. If you want to pull the same scam to get it back, you need to convince them to be gone long enough for you to live there a couple days, unnoticed.
First, the repo name is alpine-pkg-glibc because it is merely a package you install on Alpine. The container name, created by a different individual is frolvlad/alpine-glibc, and they make it clear that it is based off Alpine with the glibc package installed. In fact, you can even look at the source code. This is ridiculous, and if Alpine starts going after people for using alpine in the container image name or tag then I now know what distro to avoid entirely.
There's a universe of difference between "kill all snakes" and "kill snakes on your property if you have children and live in Australia and aren't sure it's non-venomous".

The real reason for squatter's rights is to prevent rug-pull scenarios, where someone resides in a place for some period of time under good faith but themselves get scammed or otherwise exploited in the process.

This then runs into obvious problems when the police use it as an excuse to just not bother with short-term situations that obviously don't fall under actual squatter's rights precedents.
Nonsense. You reduce house prices by increasing supply via construction of apartments, and potentially having a land value tax. You don't do it by undermining property rights. This just makes everyone's reality a living hell and doesn't solve anything. What a truly sinister worldview you've adopted.
They did. Also, municipalities tax by property ownership.

They don't do it more because they know most vacant property is owned by regular folks.

It's just a supply demand problem here. People in Spain just refuses to believe it because there are some narratives circulating, specially in the left, about how the housing bubble ruined spain so constructing is speculation and bad capitalism yadda yadda.

They don't want to hear about public housing neither because "it's expensive" while they advocate for more public spending in other useless stuff. They want price control and such.

The whole situation is just so stupid.
Some people hate systemd :)
You don't have to live in the capital of Georgia (or Korea for that matter). Just a little outside the capital is already much more reasonable. You also don't have to maintain 100% "western" standard of living either, seeing that you aren't in the West. Very few people in Georgia make 1000+ euro, and they're doing OK with less. In rural Georgia you'd be living like royalty with that kind of monthly spend. It's also beautiful, and people are real nice. The only thing to watch out for is, of course, the internet.
I complained about that for years until one day I founded you can actually remap Ctrl+C in your terminal, and the usual kill signal will still work when nothing is selected.

That and a lot of music I have found on there has a music video version of the song which can sometimes be slightly different than the original song. It's usually something like a longer intro before the music starts or something like cheering from a crowd or whatever to mimic it being a live performance music video. So you're getting a subpar sound quality combined with a sometimes differing song from the original.
It's like a twisted form of mass hypnosis in the _other_ direction. A belief in vaccine-as-saviour so strong that it borders on taking over actual evidence based medicine.
I was part of a project to measure reaction times in a primitive driving simulator. Accelerator, brake, steering wheel from a gaming setup. You drove down a straight road, some roadside scenery went by. Every so often you went through a gate. The gate would sometimes close just as you got there. Measured whether you hit the brake in time. Simple, a little challenging. The idea was, for drivers to self-measure if they were still able to drive safely. Tried to pitch it to an insurance company that rhymes with Slate Charm.

They acted like it was poison. They didn't want to even appear to be trying to select out older customers. The legal trouble they'd have, discriminating according to age (or even appearing to try) would have brought a landslide down on them.
New form of investment?
It doesn’t matter which distro you use… unless it’s NixOS. Declarative operating systems are the future. NixOS is incredible. My whole configuration is a git repo. My servers have the exact same neovim/tmux/zsh config as my laptop. Switching between desktop environments couldn’t be easier. Messed up your system? Simply choose a previous generation on the boot screen. Seriously, try NixOS.
I might be remembering this incorrectly, but I don't think that Windows 3.0 even had support for TCP/IP networking by default.

+1 about South of Brazil. USD 1k with BRL as it is, it's more than enough to get an entire middle-class apartment for yourself and pay for all utilities in any neighborhood. (I'd not recommend largest southeast cities because you could feel "back" in L.A. traffic).

As I've experienced trying to rent a place in SF, in Brazil even largest cities are _waaay_ easier. You'd have to talk directly to an owner (since it would be difficult for you to prove income) but it wouldn't be a problem finding them and renting for less than a year.

Language will not be a problem, there's a startup scene if you feel like talking shop, and plenty of places to see and visit. You'd have all the infrastructure to stay for a long time.
One thing I like about the Mac style for those is that there's less wrist movement (nice if you've got some RSI pain you'd rather not aggravate), and I can hit them while leaving 3 of 4 home-row fingers in place.

Market forces at play. Good on them. Move along, nothing to see here.
I fail to see why induced demand is a bad thing. Faster CPUs also cause induce demand as then software either does more stuff or does stuff less efficiently. That does not mean the we should stop trying to make more powerful CPUs.

Even with a constant amount of congestion, it means that more people are using the roads which means that having the road is optimizing for people’s choices.

I see that as a good thing, not a bad thing.
