Since he needs 1000ms response on storage isn't ethernet the better option? It can reach 400gb/s on fastest hardware now. I thought Infiniband was only reasonable to use when machines need to quickly access other machines primary

If anything the lifetime cost of electric deters me. Usually they come with 10 year warranties for the power side of the car, but I kept my last car for 20 years. If I buy electric I assume I essentially need to buy a new car or pay for an

Banks are the most law breaking entities in the United States. They constantly have to make enormous settlements for the insane number of laws they break. These are just the settlements for Bank of America: https://www.fool.com&#

The set "easy problems iterated" is a subset of "hard problems" and I would argue a very small and uninteresting subset. Biotech, energy, next gen computing physics; I don't see any of those as iterating on a simple

It's "ingredient branding" now. I think the foundaries are becoming the "ingredient" more consumers and looking at, similar to how Intel famously pushed their CPU as the important ingredient in PCs. I think it will

I agree, I oversimplified for the sake of brevity. I also don't know the details for hospital accounting, only the generals and that it is very complicated. In reality it would be they spend say $1 million on these cases. They could th

I believe in extreme cases such as this the hospital considers it an academic/research/prestige/security cost and would essentially charge the patient nothing or standard daily rates. I know when the Ebola scare happened in t

The doomsday clock goes in both directions, it went "backwards" significantly for 10+ years after the Cold War.

You need to do basic reading into the doomsday clock. The primary concerns right now are catastrophic climate change and technological threats, including nuclear technologies. Regardless, many nuclear theorists and academics including Noam

The vast majority of the "FIRE" economic sector is not an important part of the economy. Before neoliberal economic policies and the government handing $10 Trillion + handouts to the FIRE sector, yes, it was important and efficien

I'm not quite as pessimistic as you regarding HK and Ukraine. In the short run, yes, the powerful people (China, Putin) will win. In the long run, will Putin and his cronies continue to have the economic power to strong arm all of Ukra

Probably not suicided in the direct sense. Probably, "we aren't going to walk by your cell for the next hour, if you're still around rich and powerful people will make you wish you had taken your life."

It's called infanticide and it's very common throughout nature. Just recently a lion in a German zoo ate her newborn cubs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide_(zoology) https://www.cnn.com&#x

From the title: "A Giant Asteroid of Gold Won't Make Us Richer" I am failing to see how this title represents the engineering concept of wealth.

I love how Bloomberg immediately jumps to some market/chicago/hbs/wharton concept of wealth and ycombinator thinks of wealth in terms of actually prosperity that can be created.

NSA knows they need the storage, they didn't just figure out they needed to store a lot of data to perform a massive buy. It would much easier for the manufacturer to disguise 5% of constant purchases through various techniques, they c

That is an interesting idea but it would be so much easier for them to constantly buy, say 5%, of the output.

I'm not a lawyer but the first amendment argument is a separate concern than antitrust violations. You can exercise your first amendment rights while still breaching antitrust law.

Ironically technologists seem to have higher ethical standards than doctors and lawyers. Hell, the entire US medical system revolves around financial assault of the infirm.
