Speaking from Australia (Melbourne, where coffee is a religion), I get a freshly brewed, freshly ground, "dialed in" every morning, double espresso from a barista that has qualifications to understand the best roast and best grind for the coffee.

AUD6 (USD4.50) is not a lot for all of that.

Because the internet was still a "network of networks".

There were interconnections between DECNET and Novell et al networks and IP networks etc, let alone the push from telcos etc of the OSI models.

IP hadn't "won" the networking space.

If you're looking at SI units, the base unit for time is the second.

SI multipliers are all powers of 10, not 60, so minutes and hours are not really compliant.

Maybe if we reframed money as a "fungible token" people would start understanding its use again?

You should get the company DNS to delegate a subdomain at my-team.example.com to you and then have an authoritative DNS server for it.

"Mandate" on publicly owned and constructed parking lots?

That is, parking lots paid for by government taxes?

Why is this mandate a bad idea?

Just about to read, but I had to change to dark mode to be able to see the examples, which are bold white on a white background.

A long article begging the question when the last paragraph or two countered the panic of the beginning. Two Chinese firms are ramping up production of consumer RAM/SSDs because they see a market opening as the existing producers move to selling to enterprise/hyperscalars.

There have been memory chip panics before, the US funded RAM production back into the 80s/90s in competition with Japan at the time.

The AI boom/"hyperscale" currently is almost exactly like the dotcom boom.

It's already starting to shake down. Anthropic is occupying the developer space, OpenAI has just exited the video/media production space. More focused and vertical market AI is emerging.

The current vortice of money between OpenAI <-> Microsoft <-> Oracle <-> NVidea <-> Google <-> etc etc is going to break.

The effects of the AI hyper scaling boom on the commodity hardware and energy markets are very much not like the dot com boom.

Outside of the obvious economic effect of the dot com boom - the creation of near infinitely scalable high margin online businesses - there was a secondary effect on consumer electronics, with a massive growth in demand for networked devices; there was then much more of a balance between the hardware growth in the network infrastructure and data center worlds as well as in desktop and mobile.

The AI boom’s hardware impact is much more skewed, as this article details.

> Two Chinese firms are ramping up production of consumer RAM/SSDs because they see a market opening

Yes but these Chinese firms are a tiny share of the overall RAM/SSD market, and they'll have the same problems with expanding production as everyone else. So it doesn't actually help all that much.

The biggest problem in expanding for everyone else is they don't trust the market to exist for long enough to be worth paying for a new factory so they are not investing in it. The Chinese might be small, but they think the market will exist and are investing. Will they be right or wrong - I don't know.

Chinese firms won’t have the exact same problems as anyone else. Some problems will be the same but not all.

* Chinese firms finance through different banks and investors than current ram producers

* A company with a mission statement of consumer ram won’t have their supply outbid by data centers

* Chinese manufacturing has more expertise in scaling then any other manufacturing culture

The fact that there’s been a massive expansion in the nonconsumer market means the consumer market makes up a smaller proportion of the overall market, but it doesn’t mean the consumer market is any smaller than it used to be.

Sounds like someone is being "overenthusiastic" about interpreting the KYC/ALM regulations.

Combined with the FSFE not being your "usual" charitable or business organization so setting off auditor red flags and perhaps raising the risk profile of Nexi as a payment processor.

Charles Eames said that "design depends largely on constraints".

If you know in advance, then one of the constraints on the design of that function is that it's on the critical path and that it has to meet the specification.

You're stating the obvious that you need to consider its implementation.

But that's not the same as "I have a function that is not on the critical path and the performance constraint is not the most important, but I'll still spend time on optimizing it instead of making it clear and easy to understand."
