1. I got really lucky 2. My cousin has a connection to cheap money and invited me into a social circle where I could use it 3. I was willing to make people angry and unhappy along the way 4. I somehow fit into someone else's plan, and

I was disheartened when I read about all these successful people and their lofty advice. I was more disheartened when I realized their advice is just the random stuff they happened to do that on their path to success, and that equivalent a

The article was more aimed at being worried about anti-government activists, from what I read. Wearing a plate carrier with no plates isn't tacticool, it seems more just ignorant.

No, there is a mentality along the median among those who are tac bros, and this article very clearly is either about or inspired by concerns regarding them. I was attempting to address the ignorance that backs up the intended primary poin

I'd imagine. Do they make stuff now that's intended to be spec'd for enterprise servers?

Do SanDisk sell enterprise / data center class drives?

by goatcode 4y ago
The manufacturers whose drives they use provide a good basis for my consideration. I don't see certain names on their lists sometimes, so my search usually is narrowed down by that.

by goatcode 4y ago
No idea now. I usually look to BackBlaze's periodic drive performance reports when I'm shopping, but even that's been a while for me.

by goatcode 4y ago
It's been a while since I've been in the hardware-level IT side of things, but is it not unwise to run a production server with SanDisk drives?

I would refer you to the first basic law, dear sir or madam.

Would there be a domestic target for the same ideas that you'd propose a foreign one(s), or do you believe there to be something more virtuous about South Korea et. al that'd make them better recipients of such things?

What's worse: that person, or the company that that person runs, that has 10x the units that he might have otherwise, with a protective layer between the owner and the tenant?

Individual landlords may vary in how they treat you, but don't corporate also? In my own experience: For corporate landlords, being a poor grad student or a tech worker didn't seem to make a difference; I was still treated like I

by goatcode 4y ago
The sad thing is that individual landlords are among the most responsive to tenant needs, while corporate landlords often are sons of Hell who should be Thanos-snapped out of existence.

Perhaps, but that's not what the comment was addressing. If it were, your point would not address living after having become a missile.

What would you say should be the threshold for increased mortality that would subject a given behavior to heavy taxation and regulation?

by goatcode 4y ago
Be that as it may, that wasn't the point I was replying to.

by goatcode 4y ago
Should we treat all behaviors that are associated with a significantly increased mortality rate the same way, or should we pick and choose depending on the political and social context at the time, like we do with seatbelts?

Here's a crazy idea: 0% for primary residence, 50% for income properties (rentals, etc.). Will it kill renting? Heck no, not for property owners who live in one of their own units, at least. It might affect individuals and entities

If it's ape-like to not be able to detach from your own ass and walk around, I guess I'm in that group too.

Very true -- even among those who put on a facade of altruism. Those who are extreme about it have often had other motivations, and it ultimately boiled down to selfishness (either for material resource or personal safety, or for social re

This of course applies to all environmental issues, both foreign and domestic. There would be a lot more partnership and a lot less animosity if we universally adhered to your notion. We might actually get something done!

I'd agree; you can't boil it down to just luck or just hard work. I think it a correct notion that fortune favors the prepared, and neither luck nor hard work on its own suffices. If you look more closely, I believe that hard wor
