In life, everything is a wager. Whether you realize it or not, you are constantly making implicit and explicit predictions about the future state of reality. To live is to predict.

Since Musk drives product development at both companies and owns both of them, yes, I'm confident engineers collaborate between the two companies. It would be stupidity not to.

If you want free, generic info on netbooting large environments, please let me know. I used to netboot 5500-6000 Linux boxes that crunched collider data from the CMS detector at the LHC (worked at a D…

Do you replace a drive as soon as failure occurs? Or do you wait until X number of drives in a chassis go bad to make it worth the time for the tech to pull the chassis out of the rack?

Shoddy data collecting/telemetry? Seriously? Is that what you're suggesting? Because SpaceX (another Musk company) has rockets that dock with the space station. Definitely not worshiping Musk here, bu…

It's unfair to use your product's features to catch someone lying about said product during a review? Heaven forbid!

Wish I had found this before I paid for Glui! Oh well.

I don't mind paying the subscription; I just hate AT&T with the passion of ten fiery hells.

Is the SIM soldered? Or can you drop a T-Mobile SIM card in? /T-Mobile user

Fingerprint the requestor by IP; what's that? You're making more than 1 request per second to more than more vehicle ID and you're not a trusted partner? BAN LIST

Do you create filter "roles", so certain roles have default filter sets upon creation?

And if you don't know this information, you have no business reviewing electric vehicles, because you clearly haven't done your homework.

The US Defense Department has the right to confiscate your patent under eminent domain, and use it without providing you any compensation: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2005/09/68894 …

Yes, patenting any modification to an organism should be banned. It's fun an games when we laugh about the patent wars between Google/Samsung and Apple. But our food supply? I'll be the first to grab …

The only benefit Rackspace provides is their customer support; if I want infrastructure, I'm going to Amazon, and then building out my colo when a load profile has been established. If you've got the …

No lockers in Chicago suburbs yet :(

Or its waiting on my front stoop when I get home. That saves me half an hour, and I'll cough up $10-20 for that privilege.

I worked on the LHC's CMS data team about 2-3 years ago. We had thousands of machines crunching data. Comparing the cost to Amazon, we laughed at the deal we were getting with disposable hardware (com…

Easy there. It'd be a shame if Elon got into the aircraft industry... Looks like someone is building Stark Industries more and more.

My brokerage account (Fidelity) has limits in the tens of thousands, and can be accessed by any browser or mobile smartphone. I'm fairly certain all online brokerages are the same in the limits regard…

No, they would have more debt because the credits AP credit provides are cheaper than the "premium" credits you'll now have to get through Dartmouth instead.

I could see people using this to get up and running quickly, but then flushing out their system to integrate directly with carriers once size dictates. Example: DailyCred lets you drop in authenticati…

Well within what I was planning (1 request per minute). Thank you!

What's the preferred request rate to be polite?

Completely agree. Anything 100 level should be brought online first; I could see this compressing a "four year" bachelors degree into two years.

If the Internet Archive would support hosting the content/collection, I'd be willing to throw $50-100 into a pool to prepay the domain for the next 10-20 years. The content can't be over a GB. Hosting…
