As someone working in the field, that's what makes everything happening the biggest US policy blunder ever. The NPT is dead in the water and it was completely preventable.

There was a jump between old early gen SATA SSDs and modern NVMe in my opinion, but it's really only noticable if you're running something like a game with a huge amount of data to load, and you're actively comparing the two.

My old PC had several different hard drives of differing types and I'd periodically be too lazy to move a game from one drive to another so I'd play it off different drives over a period of time, and was able to compare the loading times.

So I'd say they're faster, but it's nowhere near the leap that HDD to SSD was.

The coolest thing about Space X is that it knocked about 100 million dollars off the cost of putting a satellite in orbit. More, if you consider the possibility of multiple small satellites sharing a launch to a similar orbit.

This enabled many, many small research companies to begin developing satellites for Earth and atmospheric imaging which is advancing our ability to collect precise data about things like greenhouse gas emissions.

Fuck Musk, absolutely, but a lower barrier to entry to putting things in space absolutely has utility.

Elon Musk watched The Expanse, looked at the Belters, and thought to himself, "Yes, this is the ideal human living condition."

The Internet becoming algorithm and bot driven was the point of no return I think.

With a few million people it doesn't even need to be a specific bank. It would cause an enormous problem. Especially since we're used to assets being digital these days. Request enough actual physical cash and it would rapidly reach a breaking point.

It's also winter and pretty much every facet of our society is designed to prevent it from occuring.

Mass Protests happened during Covid because everyone was at home. You can be sure they won't make that mistake again, no matter the cost.

I am also Spartacus. We are all Spartacus. It couldn't have been her, I saw her somewhere else. I think with you.

I understand why he didn't, obviously, but the whole time I watched that happen all I could think was, "PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE"

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that the RNC got hacked in 2016 alongside the DNC, but the material was never released. That event coincides with the pivot Republicans made toward being pro-russia.
