> You have to pay the government rent in perpetuity.
You are paying the government rent in perpetuity for the services they provide, including enforcement of your property rights. If you wish to live on land without paying government rent, you will need to go to a place without effective government. Today, that would be Syria, parts of Sudan, or Mali as examples. I doubt you want to live in those places as a 1st world resident, but if you do, there's little stopping you.
Largely, because books are heavy, and there's limited demand for most used books. If you've ever been at a book sale on the last day, there are always lots of leftover ones that no one wants.
There's a general sense that librarians are preservationists. This is far from the truth. Most books get pulped within a few years of printing. Librarians are constantly discarding books that don't get checked out to make space for new books.
I can imagine a few more. Here's one that is 100% effective:
* Wait until your account was created > 18 years ago.
That may not be enough for you, and that's fine, this is not a governmental service or site, with a mandate to serve everyone. You can chose not to use discord, and discord can choose not to have you as a customer. YMMV.
> This is just vandalism from badly supervised ‘agents’ which don’t know what they are doing or why. You could set this up with a short perl script, and the human setting it up would be held responsible for the spam - why is this different when it’s AI agents set up by a human and allowed to post to the internet at large?
It's not, but the courts and the legal system move slowly by design. There is absolutely legal risk for OpenAI here that will not close until the Statue of Limitations has expired.
Yes, but it's a different group of Americans, and the ones who are currently thriving in this broken system will fight tooth and nail to preserve their way of life.
And most of that income is salaries to existing healthcare administrators. Quickly ending the employment of the people working those jobs would be a significant shock.
Yeah, the only place I use SLOG is with Optane devices in front of SATA/SAS flash. Anything that needs the speed of SLOG shouldn't be on rust anyways.
I would be in a different world if my system was backing banking or other loss critical data. For all my workloads, losing 5 seconds of writes in a crash is NBD.
Isn't that kind of the point of the article? The random reads required for metadata traversal during scrubs will kill performance for sequential reads and writes as well if you don't have the IOPS to back them up, building a pool without taking this into account will make regularly scheduled scrubs a pain point.
I schedule scrubs during idle time (10pm Friday - 6am Monday), so the metadata hit doesn't affect usage, but YMMV if you don't have an idle time. I also don't generally let them get that full.
If I was building the array new, I'd probably use a special VDEV for metadata, but they didn't exist when I built my last one of these.
Disk failures don't neatly wait for idle times so investing in a special vdev (which can be added to an existing pool as the article points out) should be well worth it.
