The title is written from the perspective of the original problem, not from the solution. It then leads the user through the process of discovering why the bytes were 'disappearing.' From the perspective of the original users the bytes were disappearing.

Sounds like the real issue is "we are replacing X with Y" and there are use-cases for both X and Y to co-exist.

There is plenty of information that you wouldn't necessarily want to publish, but wouldn't be the end of the world if it were leaked either.

> Very few people walk around with that amount of cash today.

... because the cops would stop him, insinuate that the money probably had something to do with crime, and then seize it to line their own pockets cough cough I mean "bolster their budgets."

> I'm fine with anything non-ionizing

Marie Curie was also fine with working with Radium... until we found out that it wasn't good for you. The thing about stuff like cancers is that it's really difficult to say "this person's cancer was caused by X." The best we can do are wide spectrum studies about cancer rates, and try to use statistics to limit the variables.

You know that saying controversial things about Apple has basically always been his schtick. It drives pages views when people get all upset and flood into the site to read the article so that can go back to Hacker News/SlashDot/Reddit/Digg/Fark/Facebook/Twitter/whatever to argue about it.

> not really all that different from many things that Dvorak has written over the years

Dvorak's writing has always been about being contrarian and kicking up controversy.

> Right, and such a concession to be agreed on by Canada would require an equally beneficial concession made by the U.S. no?

The way that Trump likes to negotiate that's not necessarily the case. He may think that he can get huge concessions without giving anything in return by just "playing hardball" and issuing threats to terminate negotiations if they don't go his way.

We're sort of focusing on digital here, but some of the IP rights stuff in the agreement would make certain generic drugs available in Canada illegal... so the prices of medication would go up since you could no long buy the generic brand. I would not say that's a win for Canadians.

That's what the article is claiming, but not what Tesla is confirmed though, which is what this thread started with. Tesla's statement says no such thing.

> High prices isn't a signal that we have run out, it is a signal that more mines are needed. It is likely the market will heed the signal.

It is a signal that there is a high demand, and not enough supply (whether naturally or artificially -- e.g. diamonds) to meet that demand. That's it.

Building more mines can only happen if the resources exist to mine. This idea that "the market" is a magic wand to wave at problems really needs to stop. As far as "the market" is concerned, the electric car industry could collapse because it failed to innovate past resource shortages.

> - Tesla declined to comment on the specific memo, but confirmed that it had asked this of some suppliers.

Tesla confirmed that it was seeking "price reductions." Tesla's statement is not confirmation that they are running to suppliers asking for refunds.

IIRC, Colloquy (a macOS IRC client) used to do this. Each IRC channel was basically an XML feed, and the theming was just XSLT applied to the XML feed and the output displayed in a WebView widget.

I'm thinking it has more to do with spread than concentration. Trace amounts distributed over the entire universe, vs trace amounts in a localized area.
