To be clear, I am deeply unconvinced that Nadella actually runs his life in this way, but if he does, Microsoft’s board should fire him immediately.

Nadella drove a massive push to cloud which temporarily averted the inevitable slowing of Microsoft’s growth (“look, cloud line go up” while windows and office pulled the overall steadily down) but has had several significant misses since. Remember HoloLens?

It’s like blockchain people haven’t heard of a database before. Blockchains are remarkably inefficient way to do what we’ve been improving since Hollerith machines.

Distributors will receive incentives for selling heat pumps. They will keep a small percentage of the money for themselves and pass most of the savings on to the contractors buying the equipment. The contractors, in turn, will pass the lower price on to the customers.

Hah. As if.

If they were really serious about it, they’d make it so that air conditioners must be reversible under code. The BOM isn’t that significant and Midea is making them dirt cheap now.

Executive life: Fire all the people with tribal knowledge (aka who know how this all works), and wonder why this happens while you collect your bonuses.

It’s not laws that prevent disclosure. It’s laws that require it

states that do not currently mandate salary disclosure in job postings

other states with active pay transparency laws will not be considered at this time

IOUs backed in turn by IOUs

I just learned about this yesterday. Haven’t found out if my previous backup solution also has become encrypted. The cloud backup, I understand. But… I don’t have much going on there that’s sensitive. Family locations? I guess…

They all sound similar. Some, though, get really blurry. Led Zeppelin comes to mind; when I was listening through their albums they’d get pretty blurry. Seconding also AC/DC.

Happens all the time. Especially the more fundamentalist you get.

On demand recirculating works reasonably well but only for people who tolerate it. Push button, wait 3 min, water hot. It works for me but I know it’s way too much trouble for other people. It saves water and energy.

If nvidia hadn’t hit expectations it might have started something.

I’ve pushed the limits of the SAF a few times.

Noting that I could buy a new NAS every year with what we save on not Netflix is helpful occasionally.

Anecdotally, weed is hard to dose I go from a subclinical dose to a wicked depressive hangover spanning multiple days with weed whereas alcohol just keeps me feeling bad for a day. There’s also a lot of focus on making 1000mg gummies that you can have 1/10th of instead of a steady .1mg per gummie that you can have 50 of. It doesn’t replace a beer socially, yet.

But I’m interested in what’s developing in research as far as quality and reliable dosage and most importantly the type of high. There’s a lot of variables and I hope that the research can happen because some people react so positively to it.

It’s cheaper to build a new server. Cloud… just isn’t cheap. Makes sense for accounting purposes and business reliability standards to a degree but not much for home use.

This happened to me:

1. I need a server for my Linux ISO backuos
2. i want to be able to automatically turn in a thing but only when it needs to be on. I guess i need Homeassistant.

Now my whole family relies on this underpowered house of cards.

That’s for a passenger ticket, not for a container. Just seems high for what I imagine is going to be a non-luxury cruise.

Can you just make the start menu appear when I click it instead of several second later? Is that so much to ask?

“Good” software based RAID (unraid, zfs, etc.) needs reliable access directly to the drives. Usually, USB attached storage doesn’t meet this criteria.

Not using RAID is risky unless you’re very confident in your extensive backups (which you should have anyways).

Personally I have been using a mini PC running TrueNAS with a JBOD over USB3.1 for years and have had some hiccups but nothing catastrophic, but I’m migrating it soon to a device I can use SATA.

Hardware raid is typically not a great idea because you’re usually tied to the chip.

More like “What the Irish government did (to drive the economy forward without thinking about long term impacts to services and reliance on robber barons)”

They created a tax haven which created some jobs but doesn’t really capture on the value creation.

That’s what I was thinking. Crazy.
