Probably what will happen is rackmount servers will have two or even three TB3 ports, each with 100w, that way you have redundancy when the port or cable fails (on either end) on both power and network. Failure of one or more cables would probably allow the server to run in reduced power mode indefinitely.
I don't think we're far out from phones having 256gb drive and 8gb ram as normal, at which point you just plug it in to a KVM kiosk and use that as both your cell phone and desktop. Even a year ago I was able to use a mouse and keyboard on my Nexus 5x using a USB-C adapter (but no video due to marketing reasons)
That's fine right up until you realize the arm and hammer baking soda was stored in the same warehouse as raw uncured pork bellies and now has trace amounts of botchulism in the baking soda, and now you're injecting it in to people's blood streams.
Before I moved out here, I always bought my cars, typically 20 years old, with 100,000 to 140,000 miles on them, and then drove them until the wheels fell off. For $3,400 or less. Usually averaging $2,200. And then paid $60 a month. I am totally down with spending $0 a month on transportation. Used to do it all the time. Most expensive car I ever bought was a 1998 5 series BMW for $3,600. Drove it until the wheels fell off. It was glorious. Never paid more than liability insurance. As most people should do.
You can totally do this in San Francisco. There is a guy who owns the handicap spot in my building on the third floor, some shitty 1993 Toyota Corolla. Probably bought it in cash twenty years ago, has paid more in parking than it's worth for ten years now. People need reliable transport, need to get to work, don't know what's what about mechanical whosits (I do, I buy used) and are afraid, most people won't buy a car more than 10 years old. Congrats, you totally do own a car thats used and have a low total cost of ownership.
That said, when you're making a full adult salary in SF (120K+) you can afford both an apartment and a nice car, which is approx. $0, so those people do. And then they pay off the car, and all is good. But in the mean time, they're paying that car down. So that's the reality of the situation. There's a lot of BMW dealerships in California for a reason. Not that I endorse buying fancy german cars, but people get good jobs and they want to prove to their family that hey maybe they're doing ok, so they buy the BMW. Whatever. That's pretty normal. For here, at least.
Enterprise is about $55 a day if you rent out of their lot here in the Tenderloin blocks outside of downtown SF, $45 a day if you rent out of SFO (san francisco international) and $35 a day in Oakland International or San Jose. On the flip side if you are in Dallas yes it's almost $25 a day to rent from the Ross Ave garage in Downtown, but if you rent at DFW airport it's closer to $50 a day. A lot of people take the DART in to downtown Dallas now and rent in downtown rather than pay airport prices.
Zipcar is between $85 and 115 a day but you only need to walk a block to get to your car in most cases and you get to pick exactly which car you want to drive. I think I'm registered with Getaround too but I've never actually used them, although I see them in all the same garages.
In reality, I use my girlfriend's car, or a coworker's car if I can (once every other month or so) the only time we've rented a car was to go to Tahoe for the weekend. Public transport in the bay isn't super great but it will generally deliver you within walking distance (or barring that, a $5 uber) of your final destination.
$35,000 car over 60 months is $600 a month, plus $100 a month in insurance, plus $400 a month for parking. That's totally normal in San Francisco. Even if you buy used you're looking at $200 a month payment. He's talking specifically about urban island effect, that is the cost of living on that "island". I'm glad to hear you have a paid off used car and live where there's ample free parking
I also have a zipcar card, which grants me access to one of the three zipcars parked on the ground floor of my building's parking garage
It's a snap to hop downstairs and take a car for the weekend to go skiing or out to Yosemite. Sure, it's expensive, but a fraction of the cost of car payment + insurance + parking + maintenance + depreciation. Here in SF it's close to $700-1000 a month for car ownership. I use zip vans more often than zip cars for moving around things actually. Other alternatives are renting at an airport for $30-50 a day which is basically free compared to the number above.
It's pretty popular in the 25-35 crowd, especially women. Sort of an online crafts market. My girlfriend has bought jewlery, a cat "house", I bought some walnut building blocks as a toy gift for someone. It's like an upscale Cafe Press. Halfway between...Craigslist and Ebay I suppose? There's a place for it on the ecommerce spectrum for sure.
Rich people can't afford to pay for crazy relatives' iphones, but wealthy people can. I've seen plenty of people from "rich" households flounder in their mid-20s and finally flop in their 30s as their families can't afford to support them anymore. Wealthy families just throw money at their problems to make them go away (or more likely, minimize them).
Plenty of rich/wealthy people have problems, and they probably seem more disproportionately large than the general population because there's enough money to prop them up as functional members of society (except for the periodic breakdown, and then bailout)
Win Pro has a bunch of settings in the registry you can flag on/off to disable even downloading the updates, let alone applying them. I usually wait 2-3 months before applying any updates beyond antivirus, and make sure I don't have any travel plans scheduled for the two weeks following my update.
Finance companies are required by law to make their employees take 5 days in a row off, specifically for this reason, to ensure continuity of business processes in case you get hit by a bus. If you're the only one who knows how things work for day to day processes, there's serious flaws in your organization.
Just going to tunnel through germany openvn back to the states. Fuck it. If comcast wants to sell the information that there's an encrypted pipe going to germany they're welcome to. VPS with 1TB data is $5 a month these days. You could probably setup your own TOR network in 5 regions for $25 a month
32 oz of soda? That much sugar and caffeine are probably a big reason why people like going to the movies, who wouldn't feel good after absorbing that much calories and caffeine. No thanks.
If you live in/near a major city the theater is a goddamn trainwreck; the theater experience is nice if you live in/near a rich suburb. That's it. I just make a mental note to check if a movie is out for rental a couple months after release... If I remember.
That may have been true for the first two weeks after launch. And then the market caught up. It's just a fancy winter laptop running a weirdo unixy OS, at the end of the day
I don't know why this is news, but ok. I'm still not going to log in to Twitter except to get up to date news on how late my train is going to be from the local train group. Honestly I'd rather we just went back to RSS or Atom feeds
My eyes kind of glazed over reading the description but none of this sounded like anything you can't already do with USB-C power delivery mode. You can already run a 1080p display off of your cell phone, both power and data on the same cable. If you hook it up to a capable hub you can plug in your mouse and keyboard too
This happened to my buddy. He got in a car accident or something. This was shortly after he graduated from high school, and his father had just died. He ended up on pain meds, ended up getting addicted after a couple of months. When his prescription ran out, he called up our mutual friend who was in to drugs and got more. This went on for about 18 months before he decided he wanted to become a veterinarian, somehow his friends and family weaned him off pills, and after two years was accepted in to vet school. Through no small miracle he made it through grad school and graduated, he's now pretty successful.
I grew up in a pretty rich suburb, we had time to help him and his family through the addiction, and he had a strong goal to strive for. Many people don't have the opportunities or strong safety net that he did.
I was crossing the street in mountain view on... monday I want to say... The driver had to take over manual control doing a right turn on to central expressway from castro st/moffett blvd. The car decided that it was time to pull on to the highway. There was a car in front of it waiting to turn right as well. It's kind of a weird intersection though, as there's a double set of train tracks right next to central expressway, which you cross, then come to a stop again, then turn right at a light. Add to the fact that it's a major public transit junction with the caltrain + VTA light rail stations (Two different train stations) at the same intersection means there's a lot of pedestrians to look out for. There's probably 10 such intersections in the country.
12.04 was the first widely used version of Ubuntu in the mainstream. It also ironed out a bunch of the weirdness from it's predecessors and the versions after it (13.x and especially 14.04) are basically the same on the server side so there was very little reason to upgrade from 12.04 and then after that 16.04 has all it's systemd weirdness that people are actively trying to avoid until 14.04 goes EOL at which point enterprise folks might start doing preliminary testing on it.
If 12.04 weren't going EOL, I'm sure many, many people would happily continue spinning it up and using it; it's perhaps the most well publicly documented version of linux, 14.04 being close behind.
It's no surprise that chatty marketing types, who are promoting their companies as cool places to work, show off their open office plan marketing areas.
After three remodels at my last office, we finally decided on (nearly) floor to ceiling cubicle walls. It was quieter than a library, it was glorious to work there, sound was trapped really well. Moving to an open office plan in another group on the other side of the floor, I got stuck next to some very chatty employees, my productivity plummeted to about 15% of what it was before.
I think open office plans are great for marketing types, maybe some of the sales people, even management, but for engineers it's really truly awful. Most of the engineers at my new company have bought noise canceling headphones at $300 a pop. I get more done at home by a country mile.
Number of bots owned by marketing and PR firms, probably make up between 25 and 40%. 15% is the rock bottom number. Keep in mind we're counting active monthly users, not total.
I use both on a daily basis, have used both side by side now for almost a decade, Powershell is at least as powerful as bash, at least as easy to write and maintain
Well there goes my primary use case for owning a car. Boom. Gone. Uber to get to and from public transit, robots to deliver my groceries, humans to deliver whatever it is that Amazon sells that isn't groceries. You never realized until you give up shopping in stores, how much time you spend driving to/from the store, waiting in line, being sneezed on by other people's kids, packing and unpacking the car. Sweet jesus, shopping from online places like Amazon, Walmart, Target.com etc you save 3-5 hours a week. It's glorious.

Sure, but the ones that can survive, most likely you really absolutely do not want in your more neutral ph bloodstream

I just ride a bicycle though. I use my car money for other projects instead.

I have no car and live in my island city.

I don't know anyone paying $4500 a month for a one bedroom in SF.
$2700-3200 seems to be about the norm; you can get away with $1900 for half of a 2 bedroom oftentimes.
