What the video doesn't show is the amount of power and liquid cooling (not water) interconnects required to run this behemoth.

> If they are receiving a flood of applications which is hard to sift through, they are already doing everything wrong. Shareholders have to nuke these kind of people.

That's why some companies will contract with temp agencies for relief.

Separate battery modules can be subjected to obsolescence too, being hard pressed into finding a suitable replacement with similar specifications and which manufacturer that still makes them. I am on my 3rd Zenfone2 battery and it is definitely no longer in production..

At that point it’s less of an ‘enema’ and more like udder chaos.

Consumption of dairy and products are a relatively fast and painful solution for personal system purges within 30m but entirely depends on how processed they are.

Likewise, iirc @ VCF in MV 2005.

It can be enjoyable in the context of failure analysis: troubleshooting, finding root causes, documenting other people's fuckups then tracing through the assignment logs on who interacted with the server last.

Might even bring back some value to those _westerners_ who are still hooked into the nostalgic scene -- have you made a trip to Akihabara district lately?

Customer demands (or hoarding) sentiments kept us busy on the production lines of racks with 1K+ drives and I think we've already shipped out more than 5K of them since early last year. No supply constraints on cpu and memory parts due to the way this sku was designed but damn did we have so many defective hdd's; I'd ballpark about 20% from the vendor and 10% from mishandling.

I think it will be an extension of parental control and shift that accountability/responsibility upwards; Meta is not anyone's real life parents anyway.

We may never know which sector of the economy you are in to believe WFH is a good idea unless you explicitly state it but given this is HN, I'm just going to make a lazy assumption for software dev or engineering. WFH sounds great in theory only if _everyone_ participates in it but is hardly the case in reality.

For example: If you can sustainably and reliably source your daily necessities like having the ability to cook or maintain a decent home environment that support it, kudos. Thought the covid lockdowns showed us how fragile that system can be especially for those _essential people_ to be physically around to feed you or keep your shit running.

As a side note: how do you feel about being snookered by your local government's policy under the pretext that _essential work_ just gives your employers the ability to maintain the same minimum wage labor cycle just so you can feel giddy about how good this idea is?

I'm reminded by the character Russell Crowe portrayed in the film Body of Lies when he reminded DiCaprio's character that "no one is innocent in this shit, Ferris." before he declined his job offer.

Or when a 5.1 update borked LTE band 12 on my Moto E2.

Yup. The smartnic's we used in a previous gpu sku is now repurposed as the head node for another storage based sku.
