What is Thrift? Is it a service?

You are in Libertarian La-La Land to call what Uber did "treating users differently based on its interests and its interpretation of the law".

As Volkswagen discovered, in the United States this is called "criminal conspiracy" and "obstruction of justice."

Are we supposed to ignore that our coworkers from these countries can now no longer visit their families or leave the country? Seems a lot more relevant than a point release in some JS framework IMO.

I hate all physicians, except the one who saved my life.

I wonder if greater availability of scheduling information and commuting apps have contributed? Commuting apps make it easier than ever to use public transportation.

Bath County is not the World's largest pumped hydro storage plant. At 24GWh it is smaller than TVA Raccoon Mountain, which is 34GWh. There may be bigger ones, but unfortunately nobody makes rankings of the energy stored in pumped hydro plants.

Re-read the description of Bath County and you will find that they pump from the upper reservoir into the lower reservoir. Therefore, adding the capacity of the two reservoirs and dividing by the flow rate is a bad assumption.

80 MWh is massive for a battery. MW are a measure of power, not energy. You mean MW-h. It's incorrect to say something has a MW capacity when discussing energy storage.

At least it made "fi" into a ligature. I don't know what we would do without that.

I apologize for the errors, I'm on iOS and it's difficult to check the output of copy & paste.

>I still remember the  rst time I told my wife that I was in chargeof “Apollo Software.” She exh orted me: “ Please don’t tell any ofour friends!”I suppose real men do “Hardware” just as real men don’t eatquiche.It was an attitude that prevailed a long time in many organiza-tions. Salaries fo r computer programmers did not keep up with thesalaries of engineers.Engineers did engineering.The programming(or coding)was more menial work and should be left to others.

It's funny how much this attitude has changed so much over the years. Now engineering is seen as menial work and the programmers are the real men and rockstars.

>Is this extreme? Putting 140 TDP of CPU heat in a 1U server? Not really. Nick at Stack Overflow told me they just put two 22 core, 145W TDP Xeon 2699v4 CPUs and four 300W TDP GPUs in a single Dell C4130 1U server. I'd sure hate to be in the room when those fans spin up. I'm also a little afraid to find out what happens if you run MPrime plus full GPU load on that box.

What could Stack Overflow be doing that requires such a dense GPU/CPU configuration? I didn't think a commenting site would required that level of parallel processing.
