The current best scientific guesstimate is that there is no panacea. A suite of lifestyle changes and maybe some medications would be the mostly likely way to increase quality of life until there's an amyloid removal technique or vaccine.


SideCar (using the enabler trick) between a Mac mini (Late 2012) and an iPad Pro 10.5 was very laggy over USB. It wouldn't work over wireless. I'd rather try an app instead.

I've been trying the built-in screen sharing VNC, and that too is very laggy.

The Mac mini has tested fast (iperf3.. latency and bandwidth are good) over WiFi, so I think an app has the potential to be fast.


I recently bought 4x WD HGST WUH721414ALE6L4 512e 14TB. The 4Kn's were the same price but on lengthy backorder/dropship from WD, so that wasn't going to work. Also, I absolutely refuse to buy the WD Gold (WD141KRYZ) that is effectively the same product but at a much higher price ($480 vs. $346). Marketing people can take a long walk from a short pier.


I'm (unfortunately) boycotting WD and their subsidiaries; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22935563


Who are you buying from? Seagate also had undisclosed SMR, and I believe Toshiba did as well.


Seagate and Toshiba are sane compared to WD because they never adopt SMR on NAS drives.


I was actually looking at WD Gold for the next workstation. Do you have any good resource / introduction-page about their HDDs price/performance/misc (e.g. which drives are just rebranded). Very hard to compare specs for us uninitialized =)


No, it's intentional and with a goal. "Brave" in his overt disregard for the lives of others in the name of money. There is, as of yet, no vaccine and there is no cure, and the pandemic curve will restart and kill more people if reopening happens too soon. Lockdowns certainly aren't ideal, but they won't kill nearly as many people as horribly as hunkering-down for as long as possible and when the government should be doing more UBI to help people. Dying alone by drowning on a respirator is a terrible way to go.


> in the name of money

You're so sure the reason is money you don't need checking if Musk has other ways to earn them - more reliably at that. Sorry.

Musk does a lot of mistakes, most of them shoot himself in the foot - in a mild way, he's a smart guy. When he does make a big one, he might insist - as a good deal of billionaires would - but to label Musk a strict money chaser would equal to elevating profit hunting to astronomical heights, both figuratively and literally. You don't go with your last money - even if it's your hundred mils - to the business you know is pretty risky unless you have something else. C'mon.

Where I agree is that it's a highly questionable move, to say mildly.


For-profit corporations without employee ownership and regular employees on the board of directors will inevitably treat employees like disposable cogs or dirt. The mistake many people repeatedly make is the line-up to be abused when they should form their own business ventures with civilized, humane, and Golden Rule treatment of others rather than rent-seeking investors to squeeze blood money out of them and cheat them out of livable wages.


This.

You don't want this to happen to you? Unionize.

The tech industry might finally get the wakeup call to unionize.


How would that help? If a company loses 80% of its revenue over night adjustments will have to be made, union or no union.


Adjustments can be made in a much more humane way.


You're making some assumptions here and taking third-hand information as gospel. It depends on what "generous" means in fact, how much notice they were given, and their prospects or help to get other jobs in a job climate that is worse than the Great Depression. What if it were you?


Yep, in a Niemöller-ignorant, selfish manner.[0]

And "Russian roulette" would imply suicidal gambling of one's own volition so that is an improper metaphor.

HR departments will still require degrees. Dropping out won't change that. Either get a degree that is necessary for a desired job, or don't bother wasting time and money on any of it.


All the companies unproductive enough to support that sort of crap should go oob, if only the fed would stop buying thier bonds.


Nope. An honest man of integrity already knows how to play the bagpipes and doesn't need to lie or name-drop to seem important. Bullshit is only appropriate to save the face or lives of others, or as entertainment amongst people already savvy enough to see through it.


It's difficult or impossible for dual parent households working 2-3 minimum wage jobs each to have time to plant a garden or do anything else but drop dead asleep every 18 hours only to do it all over again the following day.


Idk about 2-3 minimum wage job. Are people in the US really doing that? But I grew up in a place where having a garden is pretty natural. It's something you take care of between putting the trash out and walking the dogs. It does not have to be amazing magazine-ready. But having a staple of stuff that grew easily and are forgetful. ( Courges, Carots, potatoes, aromatic plants .. )


Yes, they absolutely are doing that. Life in the US is a worsening hellscape for the increasingly permanent underclass, commonly one small medical crisis away from homelessness. A "managed population", most reliably vote to make it worse for themselves, year after year.

Just controlling ground for a garden is a privilege.
