Ah, we can always pump more oil out of the ground. We will always be able to find new sources of oil. What kind of liberal leftist ploy are you coming up with trying to say that we can't stick an unlimited number of tube and get an unlimited amount of oil out.
See, I too can use hyperbole as dumb as yours. We are not longer replacing people with machines, we are replacing people with machines, communication, and simulated intelligence.
In the shop I work out of we have stacks of hundreds of hard drives with bad sectors and a large number that are just dead. We see very few dead SSDs, but we only use Samsung or Intel cards. Don't use anything else.
Of course video writing is the perfect application for hard drives. A constant datastream at a fixed rate and large amounts of data over time, with few random IO and only bulk delete. If you are trying to stick a SSD in a PVR you are doing it wrong.
Depending how big of projects you compile, some of them really hit the drive pretty hard with small writes. That said, it would take 20 years to write 100TB, which even the crappy drives wrote before seeing issues at your current usage, and no one expect spinning disks to last that long.
I have a 840 EVO 256GB myself. On Windows use of the RAPID mode can reduce the number of writes (greatly reducing write amplification), I don't know if OSX provides anything like that. At 220 days of usage I currently have 1.5TB of writes. That said, my Steam library is on a 1TB disk, mostly because I have around 700GB of games.
As the other AC said, a tool that shows SMART data for your OS. That said, some drives do not show LBA information. Some really sucky drives do not give accurate SMART information at all, though in general a drive in a Mac should.
In average desktop use, and even non video media workstation it's rare to see a drive that's written 10TB. Most people will never wear out a SSD due to straight out media wear.
Most hard drive I see in consumer and business use write far less than that over their lifetimes. I have a customers hard drive I am copying data from currently. Has 15,147 power on hours, it has only written 1.3TB of data. It's very uncommon to see drives with over 6TB of data written (in the 500GB to 1TB drive range).
The other client SSD in my computer is a Samsung 830 256GB SSD that I just migrated to a 1TB SSD for a customer. Was used for about a year and a half before they needed a bigger drive. They used Outlook, a number of Autocad applications, lots of project files, a good sized collection of work related photos. The drive has 995GB of writes and is showing no SMART issues.
Average computer users have nothing to worry about when it comes to wearing a SSD out. Power users might have a problem depending on the nature of their work, but they also get the most benefit from high write speeds and IOPS. Servers, depending on their usage patters could have a problem, I certainly recommend the enterprise style drives that reserve a much larger amount of space.
Most manufactures leave any number of gigabytes of flash unmappable for filesystems, that way you can never fill up the drive, even if you fill up the file system. Most pro/enterprise versions of the drive just leave a larger area unmapped.

At the top of a taller building the winds are 30 to 50MPH stronger than at ground level. When you popped that window out of the frame the average office would explode in a fury of paperwork.
This isn't a mechanical problem, it is a vision problem. Humans miss spots while cleaning all the time, but we have one advantage, we can easily tell what is and isn't dirty, then we go back and correct. The issue I see is we aren't solving the vision and object recognition problem for some time yet so humans will still have that advantage.
Studied some oceanography. The problem is not that beaches are transient. The problem is our idea of property. The problem is ports, seawalls, jetties. We want beach front property we can have a house on, a hotel on, a strip mall by. You can repair a beach. Just quit building within a few miles of it. It's a moving object. It will show back up once you give it the proper habitat. If you build houses and seawalls up the entire coast you will not have beaches. That means the beach disappears. The natural mechanisms that make beaches cannot do their jobs.
No, not exactly. Doing that you end up with very small, sharp, broken rocks. You also end up with a chemically active surface, depending on the type of rock, that is very alkaline or acidic. Sand (at least beach sand) is both mechanical and chemical weathering of rocks that is then polished by water over time.
A picket style or privacy fence should be no where near a creek that floods. That's probably why the permit has been denied. Think of it as a damn that is going to trap water and junk when it floods and make the flood worse for those upstream.
While my main job is working on computers, I do like researching other things. I've read a few books on beach engineering and coastal erosion. Here's pretty much what no one who owns beach property is going to want to hear...
"If you want a beach, you can't build anywhere close to it".
Sea walls that protect houses prevent beaches from forming and they will erode up to the wall. Piers change beach dynamics and where there was once sand, there will quickly be nothing (or in some cases the beach will advance very far out the pier ruining its intended purpose. The beach is a very dynamic place and anything you put out there changes those dynamics.
The issue I have with this theory is, in the 4,000,000,000 years that Earth has been around, wouldn't quite a lot of this 'matter' built up in the crust and core? Where is it at? Sinking deep in to the crust?
With FTP acting as fragile as glass in the world of NAT and firewalls, I don't see this as a bad thing any longer. HTTP is reliable when serving large files these days.

>at least the product shouldn't cost nearly as much as when made by people
That totally depends on what percentage of said good is labor cost. Some products price are dominated by energy and materials costs.

It's more likely domain admins that didn't apply MS14-068.
>no ad blocking solution that works without rooting your device.
Not exactly true. You just use an adblocking proxy.
No, it's somewhere in between.

When I buy a new gen console I have to get all new games. When I buy a PC I install all my old games on it, and they run even better.

Right, and with I MITM the wireless AP you're on and replace the self signed with another, you'll go right on thinking you're secure.
