They are, that’s why ECC exists, and those who are willing to pay for it, can get it.

> It's my long standing opinion[1] that we shouldn't accept any RAM that can be subject to random bit flips. Every system fails eventually.

Interesting read. To his defense: the argument is not that Optionals are too complicated, but that it’s a wrong path for language design — instead programmers have to test their co…

Many repeat the point of “$165k is cheaper than team of multiple engineers working on the rewrite for a year”, which I think is flawed — the team of engineers would have produced i…

The US didn’t install the shah to torture and murder civilians. It was shahs choice to do so. To blow up civilian target is a choice. I know nuance is unpopular nowadays but I do s…

I would say that as the form of government and the legal landscape of a country as a whole US fares much better than the Islamic Republic.

> Let's do it fairly. How would it work? Do you expect a 1:1 casualty list? 1:1 list of events? Should the US citizens allow for a coup on US soil carried out by the IRGC?

There is a difference between overthrowing the government and blowing up civilian targets.

You can say the same thing about Iran. They can mind their own business, but they chose not to. Islamic regime carried out a lot of covert ops against civilian targets all around t…

What do the Americans get for their relatives murdered by IRGC throughout the years?

Who cares? I prefer to spend way less and get better quality product than in our local supermarket. If you have a bough money to overpay because you do not want to “pay Bezos” — be…

Where are you located? I think even NYCs groceries are not that expensive.

In NYC Amazon fresh is cheaper than most of the grocery stores, except maybe some things like frozen food in Trader Joe. We simply stopped buying food in the grocery store across t…

in this case you can always start a business without cameras and sell it as a feature of your workspace. If workers really want no cameras, they will come.

There are a lot of choices between “under the bridge” and “cameras are evil”.

This is extremely once-sided view. Cameras protect employees from unfounded accusations. Cameras provide alibi to those who may be suspects, saving time and money. And so on. You a…

What happens if you criticize the government of Japan?

11% capacity is not 11% MFU. The first is about actually using the hardware for something in the first place, the latter is about how efficiently you compute. Different things.
