  1. This is not an executive issue on The Law Is Clear: the FBI Cannot Make Apple Rewrite Its OS (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    The white house supposedly operates separately from the Justice Department. Im pretty sure Barack's sharp legal mind has absolutely nothing to do with this.

    Even the slowest orgs have been doing this on a 12-18 month cycle. Plugs are lost to attrition, and those willing to retrain/refocus keep their jobs. Those who stop training become plugs.

  5. Re:All awful but the bias is interesting on America's Ten Most Oppressive Colleges · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize the government were the ones setting up safe spaces to suppress free speech.

    We should be arguing that there is no such constitutional right to go un-offended, but talking about free speech in this context is a red herring.

    It makes perfect sense when you consider how man people deploy zfs without understanding the implications

    Of course you should have offline backup of all your data. And yet people archive dozens of TBs...deploy zfs for speed and error avoidance...but don't have the solution to back it all up. But yeah I'm just an idiot for stating the obvious that zfs Is not bulletproof.

  7. Re: For home users, basically meaningless. on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS To Have Official Support For ZFS File System (dustinkirkland.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you are using ZFS, you need to have the offline backup.

    So many things can go wrong with ZFS due to failures beyond your control. You use ZFS so you don't have to restore, and keep an offline backup for when ZFS is fucked.

    If you can't afford to offline your ZFS data, ZFS is not for you.

    And they'd need to take more to cover the losers you are going to end up covering anyway.

    SS is the safest way to do this because it removes agency of idiocy (and savvy investors such as yourself) and invests in the safest investment on earth: US Tbills to ensure that you pay the least, and everyone gets the most at scale.

  12. Thank you for this post. I found myself both hopeful and nodding in agreement with your assessment.

  13. Re: Sand Storms on Should We Fill the Sahara With Solar Panels? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Mirrors and thermal is the way to go here. A focused arrangement the sand would be self clearing...no panels only reduced reflectivity in some cases where sand that does get deposited does not slip off. Cleaning could be automated in any case or at least be cheap

    Someone once told me I would be an excellent candidate for "root cause analysis" expert at RIM/Blackberry. I never looked after that career path and I'm sure glad I didn't. Now that I have 15 years more experience, I've come to realize that must've continue to be boring job ever.

    Well liguistics being just another form of math, this is unsurprising. It's barely a social science- only because without language social constructs cease to exist.
