But here's the gist: sometimes you have an object you want to copy, but then abandon the original. Maybe it's to return an object from a function. Maybe it's to insert the object into a larger structure. In these cases, copying can be expensive and it would be nice if you could just "raid" the original object to steal bits of it and construct the "copy" out of the raided bits. C++11 enabled this with rvalue references, std::move, and rvalue reference constructors.

This added a lot of "what the hell is this" to C++ code and a lot of new mental-model stuff to track for programmers. I understand why it was all added, but I have deep misgivings about the added complexity.

As someone with CKD and scheduled for an MRI, this was anxiety-inducing.

The Cleveland Clinic has a good overview[1]. Since there have been no reports of NSF in 15 years, I don't think it's rational to avoid MRIs based on gadolinium retention concerns.

I went hunting for a reference for your statement, and was successful.

Clevland Clinc says "There haven’t been any new reports of NSF in almost 15 years" [1]

This is asking too much. The management of trim, reallocation, wear leveling, and so much more is very complex. It's a full software stack hiding behind the abstraction of NVMe. Every manufacturer is running a different stack with different features and tradeoffs. The "stats" the author is asking for would be entirely different between manufacturers, and I doubt there is that much to be gained from peering behind the curtain.

One of the consequences of being part of administration that lies constantly is that it is very difficult to trust they are telling the truth. Since this is based on the Interior Department saying something very different than the company, I'm disinclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the Interior.

The in-person verification of hotspots was good, but in-person verification of non-hotspots was not done, and might be difficult.

The Fairness Doctrine has become an urban legend among the left with a regrettable amount of built-up legends of its power.

Whatever you think it did, it almost certainly did not do that. In practice it meant that J. Random Crazypants would be allowed to give an editorial -- sometimes in the middle of the night, and sometimes as 60 second after the news. Additionally the Doctrine never applied to Cable TV for obvious First Amendment reasons.

ACE Rail (from Stockton to San Jose) has an absolutely wonderful network of eight shuttle buses that meet the train when it arrives at the Great America station[1]. They fan out across most of the Silicon Valley so that there's no need to wait for a bus or make connections between buses.

Every commuter rail line really should do this. Obviously Caltrain could not do this for every train, but how about some trains?
