If the minimum wage was a comfortable living wage
like it should be, in my and many other folks' opinion
then it wouldn't matter. One person's excess isn't a problem, unless it's at the expense of someone else (which, you know, is kinda the case...).
An SEO specialist walks into a bar, saloon, watering hole, place to get drinks, neighborhood bar, dive bar, best mixed drinks, beer on tap...
I don't have a problem with folks being outraged at an illegitimate vote; but what I can't get behind is this outrage while at the same time being (at best) unconcerned with legitimate voters being turned away.
One is bad because it's a vote counting when it shouldn't; the other is bad because it's a vote not counting when it should. It's essentially the same functional outcome, it's just that one of these...you know...actually happens a lot and the other doesn't.
I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.
A legitimate hard fork doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know...
The beautiful thing about this is that for both the pro- and anti-systemd crowds, it only reinforces their respective opinions.
(Aside, I used to use postgres for date/interval calculations...)
Awesome bandwidth to be sure, but I do think there is a difference between data transfer to RAM (such as network traffic) vs. traffic purely from one location to another (station wagon with tapes/747 with SD cards/etc.).
For the latter, actually using the data in any meaningful way is probably limited to read time of the media, which is likely slow.
But yeah, my go-to would be micro SD cards on a plane :)
My headcanon for The Matrix's "humans are batteries" is that it's the machines' perverse interpretation of this
killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives "meaning" in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) "battery" somehow satisfies the rules.
It's a very big stretch, I'll admit...
Fun fact, the (rough) conversion efficiency of calories to mechanical joules in the human body (separate from the mechanical to electrical you're referring to) is about 25%
but this is about the same factor as going from calories to joules! So, for a human to put out 13.5 kJ of energy would require about 13.5 food calories (kilocalories).
Stock
at least, RSUs
is AFAIK taxed like supplemental income ( https://www.harnesswealth.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-restricted-stock-units-rsus/ ), which is very similar to regular income. Stock options are different though, and maybe this is what you're referring to
I think (???) options can be beneficial to the recipient from a tax perspective vs. other compensation but not an expert...
And then there are capital gains, which is a different, but related, story...
I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.
Remote backup server would be my suggestion.
Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend's or family's place.
I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.
