Tasers are the defacto standard for inflicting pain as a punishment by the officer. It's followed in a close second place by pepper spray, though pepper spray would probably be used more if the officer wasn't also exposed to it. The beauty of it is Taser use isn't even questioned, and in most departments it's not even tracked. An officer can use a taser without any expectation of punishment for using it, even under the flimsiest of circumstances. On the other hand using their gun will net the officer desk duty and a full review. Taser use won't even get them a note in their personnel file even if they use it against an innocent person for the fun of it (though they'd probably get reprimanded if it was just for fun).
What's interesting about the #blacklivesmatter movement is that police reaction that this movement constitutes police harassment. It's apparent from this that the movement is having at least some cursory impact on policing in the form of reviews of use of force.
The hope is that one day police will be held at a minimum to the same standard you or I would be held to if we did exactly the same thing. Because there should not be a waiver for police to use force in a circumstance where the public at large couldn't use the same force. And the quickest cleanest solution to this is body cameras where the public has access to the footage such that police abuse can be used to revoke the officers certification to be a police officer with such lists shared nationally along with immediate and harsh punishment for violating the standards. If a cop shoots someone and it would be murder if you or I did it they should also be charged with murder.
There are people that argue you shouldn't use raid at all unless it's 10. Raid isn't a backup solution. It's a performance and reliability solution. If you need data backup you should be using real backups, not raid.
The features you list as "specific" to zfs exist in btrfs. btrfs can have dedicated parity drives or you can spread the data and parity across multiple drives in any order or pattern you would like.
The write hole in btrfs is AFIAK also present in zfs and listed as a risk of a power failure during write on a raid pool with COW filesystems. This risk is that loss of power during write can result in multiple different parity blocks for the same data and that in such an instance the filesystem cannot identify the correct data or parity (depending on the order you write them) and there are only a few solutions to this that involve resorting to a known good (older) copy and result in lost data (from the write).
IIRC this is a listed risk in the FAQ for ZFS. Just as the same write hole risk exists in btrfs. Also IIRC ZFS takes the path of writing parity before data such that it will lose new data rather than risk a corruption of existing parity blocks. Whereas, again IIRC btrfs COW's the new data then COW's the parity block which risks inconsistent parity but at less risk of data loss (as parity can be recomputed).
Two different solutions to the same problem that is intrinsic to COW filesystems with parity data. Neither is particularly better IMO as both run the risk of data loss in an extreme event. Though such events are rare.
My understanding is that the it does take advantage of COW. The problem is your parity has two copies, and you have two copies of the data that may or may not match the parity because it lost power during the write. This is why they call it a write hole because the algorithm can't be sure which copy of the written data is the right one because their are two copies of parity data as well. It's a tricky problem that's going to need either some pretty smart algorithms to sort out which copy is the right one or a prompt to the user to identify the correct file.
On the other hand IIRC zfs suffers from a similar problem with power loss and it's one of the reasons zfs is recommended to have a battery backup to allow a clean shutdown. It is my understanding this is a general design problem with COW filesystems that really hasn't been completely solved yet. In that if you have a corrupted write with parity data it becomes difficult for the computer to identify the correct data and parity because it has multiple copies of each and some may or may not be corrupt. It's just a really tough problem.
I know fully well what raidz is and it's not significantly different than the raid in btrfs. Maybe you should understand what they are before you make a comment simply because one has a z on the end.
The why is because the NFL and other sports leagues didn't want it banned and got congress to deliberately exempt it. It's not illegal because Congress said it isn't.
You don't understand what insider trading is. I doubt you've ever even bought stocks. Insider trading has a VERY strict definition within the law, so strict in fact that insider information passed 2 degrees away from the source which resulted in a prosecution was recently thrown out by the supreme court because it didn't meet the material rewards test the law requires.
This isn't insider trading. It's filthy and dirty and throws the whole industry into disrepute but it's not currently illegal. Though if the industry doesn't stamp this out right quick I wouldn't be surprised to see congress "fix" it for them.
Raid support has been built into btrfs for ages now. It's been rock stable for me for over a year with an 8 disk array in raid 5 configuration. But the simplicity with which you can add and subtract drives, parity drives and others makes btrfs a total winner IMO.
There is no problem with Raid 5 on Btrfs. I've been running a raid 5 on btrfs for more than a year. I'm not sure why ZFS fanboi's always resort to lying about the btrfs features and support, if it's just laziness on their part or they are astroturfing.
ZFS may be stable, but it development is relatively frozen and btrfs is in many ways better but has lagged in development. This is probably because Oracle was the primary backer of btrfs before they bought Sun and there just aren't enough developers working on btrfs but that doesn't mean it's still not advancing and improving every year. I personally like btrfs a lot more than zfs because some of the features such as shrinking and growing pools is a MAJOR feature that ZFS lacks while btrfs supports all the zfs features that I care about.
But either way, if you are going to talk about features or aspects of btrfs at least make sure your information is current for gods sakes!
Because they are working a scam that's been in existence for a VERY long time. This particular scam has been around for thousands of years as the perpetual energy machine.
See the other reply. Solar installed right now is about $2 a watt and it's continuing to fall. It's got a ROI of around 3 years in most of the US right now. That's a damn good investment, let alone power for your home. And the best part is after you pay the panels off your power is essentially free for a guaranteed 25 years (panel warranty).
Batteries are rapidly falling in price. Just 2 years ago you would have paid $500kw/h of storage. The price is down to almost $250 currently. Once it reaches $100 it's actually going to be cheaper to use batteries and solar panels than it will be to hook up to the grid.
I wouldn't be invested in power utilities right now given that if they don't manage the renewable transition well they are likely to be put right out of business.
DDT was and is safe, for humans. But we don't eat insects that have died from it.
DDT is responsible for the elimination of malaria and several other diseases from the US. Most people have no idea of that because DDT has been so disparaged and the elimination happened more than a generation ago. In the early part of the 20th century Americans in the south routinely died of tropical diseases, malaria and others. DDT eliminated those diseases from the US by killing the hosts, disease carrying mosquitoes. It's for this reason that DDT is actually still allowed to be used in the US, under circumstances where diseases are being spread by mosquitoes again and other pesticides are ineffective. It's also still made a sold to regions that suffer from these diseases.
Sublimation is the reason there is no ice on the surface of mars, the atmosphere is near vaccum in comparison to earth pressures. Ice cannot survive on the surface of mars. This ice house would like sublimate before you finished building it.
I'm not making a comment on yours but simply adding all "gun crime" statistics include suicide, which makes up better than 50% of all gun deaths. This makes all gun crime statistics essentially worthless.
Let me just get that written down, while I'm working on that let me assure you that the two large dogs that greet you at the door with barking and scratching at the door are not at all violent and the growling and salivating is simply an emotional response to their love of human contact. Feel free to enter without fear and rumors or signs indicating that they have been trained as attack dogs are simply to scare away intruders and I can guarantee that you won't be attacked and have your throat ripped out.
Your experience doesn't mirror my own or those of millions of others. When I was younger (even as young as 8) I was attracted to and interested in females. I was never at all interested in males. The idea of being attracted to males was alien to me, if you'd asked me you'd have gotten the same response as if you asked me if I was attracted to drywall.
IMO your experience mirrors that of someone that might be bisexual. But for those of that are straight of homosexual the experience is not like yours. We knew when we were very young which gender attracted us the most. The only difference between them is that society told those born homosexual to question their sexual identity.
You'd need a 4k screen for each eye. On top of that there are very few graphics cards capable of rendering even lower end graphics at 4k. The top of the line nVidia card can only do it with a bunch of the rendering options kicked down to low and medium. People won't be very impressed with VR if they have to make the game look like 2000 era game to make it playable.
You are deranged to suggest that 4k is achievable.
You've just stated the physics of why capacitors can't beat chemical storage (batteries) in real life. As you say this is basic physics, and has been the primary factor limiting the appeal of supercapacitors in real world applications.

Tesla Unveils the Model X
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Telsa has been occupying the high end market segment, not the mainstream, think of them as a competitor to Porsche and Mercedes, not Ford. This can be seen in the reactionary vehicles being developed at these companies as they've lost market share to Tesla. What Tesla is going to do with the Model 3 is attempt to move from the high end to main stream. This would be like Porsche attempting to make a mainstream $30k vehicle that anyone could buy.
Time will tell if they succeed, personally I wouldn't bet against them.
Call Comcast and tell them you need IPv6 and to give you the Netgear cable modem to replace the piece of shit you have.
That will be $500. On a more serious note, if you aren't get IPv6 at this point you have either the oldest modem in comcast or something is seriously broken. Even the most god awful modem (SMC) that Comcast Business has is dual stack capable and their entire network is handing out IPv6 addresses, on the business side they even give you a/56 which is more IP's than you will ever ever use. Even if you have static IP's with the right modem you will still pull an IPv6/56 (thats my config).

Police routinely use tasers and pepper spray to retaliate against suspects and even the public. This is even glamorized in movies.
