NAK,

I’ll agree with the other commenter here.

Also there may not be any difference between the consumer and enterprise drives. The reason the enterprise cost more is the better warranty. But because they have different components.

Monitor the drives, modern drives are pretty good at predicting when they are dying, and replace it necessary.

This is, quite easily, one of the dumbest comments of all time.

You are free to setup and run a server, and create whatever experience you’d like. With how cheap hosting is it would probably be free for you to do for quite a long time too.

But you won’t, because you’re a consumer

So what’s more sustainable. A planet or 1 square meter of ice

An anti-affirmative action group is suing the US Military Academy at West Point over race-based admissions policies | CNN (www.cnn.com)

The US Military Academy at West Point is being sued for its race-based admissions policies by the same group that won a landmark case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Supreme Court over affirmative action earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

NAK,

It’s good.

There are people who are arguing it’s bad. They are either doing so in bad faith, or have the luxury of either never experiencing the racism that made affirmative action necessary, or never looked into the historical reasons for it.

A good place to start to understand why laws like this we’re enacted is Redlining

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining

The TL:DR here is maps would be drawn that we’re used to determine how risky it was to loan people money. These maps would be drawn based on the ethnicity of the neighborhood (this can be verified, there are poor white neighborhoods). If an applicants address was in a neighborhood that was Redlined, they could be denied a loan.

A modern example is the NFL. In 2021 they were ordered to pay a billion dollars to retired black players. The reason? The NFL were “race norning” cognitive tests designed to see if players had suffered mental decline over their career.

npr.org/…/nfl-says-it-will-halt-race-norming-and-…

Essentially if a white player suffered mental decline and was reduced to the cognitive ability of a 15 year old (this example is made up, I don’t know the exact metrics) that player would be paid for their injuries.

If a black player suffered mental decline and was reduced to the cognitive ability of a 15 year old that player would not be paid for their injuries. Because the NFL was working under the assumption that black people are fundamentally less intelligent than white people, so for them to be “damaged” they needed a higher level of mental decline to qualify.

This was happening in 2020.

The US needs affirmative action. We’re a wonderful country that does many things well. We also still have a fuckton of racists at all levels of government and business. We’re simply not there yet.

NAK,

Yeah it will. For decades, undeserving white people got loans over black people who may have been more deserving.

How would you right that wrong if not by giving more resources to the community that was denied them

NAK,

Sure, we can do both.

Why don’t you want to give to poor people who also have been victimized by systemic racism?

NAK,

Yes it does

NAK,

It’s still funny to me your solution to centuries of systemic racism is "ok, ok. That absolutely did happen. But now we’re going to treat everyone equally. No need to give the people oppressed for generations any kind of additional benefit ’

NAK,

Yeah, so oppressed people should be compensated. I’m glad we agree

NAK,

I can’t tell. Do you use Arch or are you a vegan.

My guess is Arch. I’m confident it’s not CrossFit

NAK,

I’m even more confident it’s not CrossFit

Gen Z, please talk to me: what management works and what does not?

I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I’ve been managing this department, the only people I’ve lost...

NAK,

Generations aren’t a monolith. It’s reductive to say “these people are leaving because they’re from a different generation.”

The best thing you can do is perform an exit interview and ask them why they decided to move on. If they’re good people they’ll give you an honest answer.

And remember, young people in the workforce now have had adults in their lives who were likely laid off during the 2008 financial crisis. Those adults were, correctly, teaching their children that companies are not loyal to their employees, so do not be loyal to your company.

They are probably leaving for more pay, better benefits, or a promotion of some kind. The only way you’ll know for certain is if you ask.

NAK,

Yeah. This terminal is awesome. It even supports running whatever console you want in tabs. So if you have WSL enabled you can open a bash shell in it. It also fixes all the stupid fixed width stuff of legacy cmd.exe or even powershell

NAK,

I have worked for 5 different companies that needed to be PCI compliant and every one of them will fully decided not to do certain things. Not all of them were even hard, a lot of times it was simply the person making the decisions just didn’t want too.

So that’s mine. Credit card security is not taken seriously but the vast majority of places that accept credit cards

NAK,

Be real. You don’t have a copy of the Constitution

NAK,

It’s because you didn’t out smart her, you out asshole’d her.

NAK,

Don’t be stupid.

There are millions, if not billions of dollars in the human trafficking economy. Continuous reports of rich and powerful people all over the planet participating in it. Disgusting human beings willing to treat children like animals for their own gratification.

And you think these people won’t start hiring adults of the same ethnicity as the children they’re trafficking to move them?

It’s such a reductive argument. “Just question any group of people if the children are a different ethnicity than the adults they’re with! Let’s not look at the kids body language, or the way they interact. Race is clearly the indicator!”

Fucking stupid
