"The point of buying the server wasn’t to save money, it was to build something cool." In the end, this is always the real answer - one that I'm sure we can all agree is the 'correct' one too.

Misleading title :-/ Gotta do better tbh. At least there's a link to the actual (public mind you) tweet, but still.

Huh? WTH happened?... Love to learn the inside story, this sounds insane.

Reality check. Car gets stolen. You tell the cops the exact location of car. They tell you to fill out paperwork. You pick up said paper work two weeks later. Insurance does ( or doesn't ) do it's thing. I would have a totall

Really?... Isn't the 'underlying' skill ( and it was hard for me to write that last word )... being able to communicate? Are we really going to call this anything but the ability to write one's thoughts intelligently?

I just hope it isn't another ( there's been more than one ) NASA level "announcement" on astrobiology that's going to rewrite the "book". These sorts of headline grabs do nothing to help in the end. This i

Can confirm, at least at my college. I don't see how this is helping anyone / society at large - and worry how it will play out long term.

My 'fav' class as an undergrad was also the hardest. I was 'lucky' to have received a 'C'. There was one 'A', one 'B', my grade ... in a class of perhaps 30. When a grad student asked abou

Reading through all the responses...My personal take on what I've been reading. The amount of cheating that I ( and my fellow professors ) have seen during these past few years has absolutely exploded (in a way that is beyond belief, a

As I see it, the hurt is going to come from more hoops expected, as any burdens are always passed down to the individual. In in an ideal world, companies would actually read/think/analyze all the data/metadata they already ha

Totally confused why folks are not understanding/believing what you've stated. I can attest, this is happening and at 'top' tier places. I can't tell you how spot on you are regarding the camera off strategy.

Happened with my partner, and have heard of this from a lot of friends. This is a real issue. It hurts 'real' candidates and everyone that takes time to be apart of the hiring process. HR dept's are simply unable/ill-equ

From my understanding though, these 'prices' are outdated nearly as quickly as they are published. I.e. sure you have a set, but everything is dynamic and changing. Seems like it would require a ML approach to 'understand&#x

This surprises...nobody? Except maybe bean counters/management types that need to show off perhaps. With that said, I do have concerns. These issues center around a shift in benefits offered as a result of this new paradigm ( hate us

I honestly see this as the 'things to come' - and sort of impressed that these technologies/ideas haven't been used sooner. With that said, I too think that it would be a HUGE gain for all if ownership / control cou

This really hits home, decades ago - I was working at this place that did daily tape backups. I remember thinking, this is unreal - there's literally a room filled with tapes. One day, I asked if they ever had performed a recovery off

This sounds way too convenient - basically the modern day equivalent of the "dog did it". So we're to believe that a rogue computer code screwed up?.. i.e.: nobody in charge mess'ed up? Why again do those with the larges

FinTech Idea: Create a website whereby foreign capital can be sent to a local for the purchase of real estate. Maybe even allow said local to live inside of the dwelling provided they pay a small service fee of sorts.... /s Perhaps t

Great first (if baby) step. As others have already said here, more is needed. I think another proper move would be to abolish police unions - nationally. This coming from a pro-union individual; however, these organizations have failed th

Whilst a fun idea to explore... Bit of a reach :-) LOL There's something about that old hardware still, probably a lot of us here fondly recall those days. Would I seriously consider using this hardware for any mission critical project
