> $100k buy in at the hedgefund I know. Its a big figure for most but starting salaries, friends & family, and personal loans will get you there. Surely this is a HN culture bubble…

Thanks - I'd previously read the rules but totally misremembered them, I thought you were /supposed/ to reply when flagging!

Parasocial technology fetishism. Gross.

Most of the alternatives you suggest are implemented in PAX, which is an extension of the tar format. The EoF block is useful if the archive is written directly to physical media w…
