Having a dollar budget would make the imbalance worse unless ideally they don't get away with moral hazard. The issue is usually having managers taking all the benefits and none of the risk, and that's bad.

In my opinion yes, ECC should be standard. ECC is expensive just because Intel had a monopoly over the server segment, and unilaterally forced desktop not to use ECC. Otherwise people would use desktop computers as servers, and that would r

It depends on your workload. Some industries require to be able to reproduce exact bit by bit data. Anything that requires absolute bit certainty, for example digital signatures, encryption, or financial information, will require ECC. If yo

Government regulations. It's as easy as allowing to import it from cross the border from Mexico and Canada.

Either die for sure from lack of insulin, or have a chance of not dying by crossing the border. The math checks out

by frankreyes 3y ago
You're missing the point. The insulin is the point. And the insulin is still expensive. It would be easier to just import it from the border, either Mexico or Canada.

The difference is temporal: tip is for a "past" already rendered product or service. Sbf, Holmes, et al, it's about a promise for "future" services, which have a risk associated of no delivery or render. When you&#x

We need new rules that improve enforcement. And then enforce the enforcement with rules about enforcing enforcement!1 That's the thinking of bureocrats who see the world in terms of rules and enforce, but fail to see the bigger picture

Many decades ago I worked in a Java team who they were using some money as a double and some as a BigDecimal. When I asked why, ... they said that at the start they didn't think they'd have any issue with doubles. Years later and

The more clients, the more chances that any will leave. That's called variance, aka, risk. Economies of scale reduce or help the amortization fixed costs, not variable costs. Economies of scale have more risk. The right approach is to

Thanks, never wrote Rust so I'm just guessing. What else there is, besides static type checks? Is there a runtime side too?
25.
by frankreyes 3y ago
Rust just took C++ std::unique and std::shared ptr and made those integrated directly in the language, and the only option for allocation. Which is awesome. It would be nice to see if we can have a sub set of C++ that forces us to only use

Yes, using imported equipment, tools, labour, QA, know how and management staff. They just rubber stamp the made in China seal. And data supports that claim since it's Taiwan the world producer of 7nm chips.
