Totally, like when you blow a tire on the freeway? Or get into medical trouble, without sufficient insurance?

It's easy to fall down the hole without even realizing it.

Looks like another Bitcoin v. Bitcoin Cash argument thread getting started again. I'm getting really tired of this.

> producing video games that make people stupid

Why are you such a pessimist? Not all video games make people stupid. In fact, some strategy / simulation games actually require a fair bit of work.

Elon Musk lives here, in Southern California, where the population is incredibly sprawled. Public transportation is almost useless here. Buses run late and are somewhat dangerous, trains do not cover much if any of the three counties, and most people drive cars.

Problem is, the only trains here in Southern California go in the L.A. → San Diego direction. I would love if the 91 had a railway running in parallel, but unfortunately that doesn't seem likely.

That's incorrect. RAID is a system build on top of hard drives for redundancy. Redundancy (for this use of the word) is simply duplication across multiple hard-drives, which doesn't require a system at all.

I don't agree — that's why things like redundancy are commonplace. :D

Alternatively: "Hard-drives let you permanently keep your stuff, for life"

What about that doesn’t make sense to you? Almost all species do that — humans included. Literally: Some families in New York City have been in the same burrough since their ancestor’s arrived from Europe. This can go for anywhere on Earth — a girl I once dated could trace her liniage back hundreds of years, mostly in a small town in Australia for centuries after her ancestor was taken there during British colonization.

Nah — I like it the way it is.

Just my ฿ 0.0002.

Jesus F. Christ, you’re right.

Just shows where humanity’s overall priorities are, funny enough.

Sorry if I sounded harsh, I actually appreciate your correction, but was trying to mainly say what you said in the second half of your statement.
