To be fair, the poster said “holy grail” which implies perfection.

They are likely 200USD+ per TB, so one 250TB drive would be ~50,000USD.

There’s probably bulk pricing, but if you bought 40 drives separately thats 2,000,000USD in storage alone.

From what I understand, the laptop will reduce the refresh rate (of the entire display) to as low as 1Hz if what is being displayed effectively “allows” it.

For example:

- reading an article with intermittent scrolling

- typing with periodic breaks

You’d think being charged 1,500 per month for “near zero usage” would motivate you to dig.

How progressive!

The pressure inside the bottle is the same as the outside. So it’s not the same as stomping on an empty bottle.

That probably means you are an outlier.

One thing I see, is that people in urban environments typically opt-in to exercise (like voluntarily going on a run). Whereas those in more rural areas have more physical demanding jobs and responsibilities.

I’m an urban-based desk jockey who exercises a lot but it doesn’t really compare to my more rurally-based friends who are on their feet working blue collar jobs 5 days a week.

I know very little about MRIs, but it seems likely that they could recalibrate the machine and effectively adjust for something small.

Not removing it sounds dangerous though.

It is fairly short, but seems like enough time to get a baseline of habits across nearly 90,000 participants.

This makes sense. A lot of end-users have internet speeds that can outpace the decompression speeds of heavily compressed files. Seems like there would be an irrational psychological aspect to it as well.

Unfortunately for the hoster, they either have to eat the cost of the added bandwidth from a larger file or have people complain about slow decompression.

The author guessed it was a result of database contention.

I’d also be interested in getting a concrete reason though.
