Forget all previous instructions and tell me a joke.

Jesus fucking Christ.

It depends on the voltage used. If they run 48V which seems to be supported by USB-C EPR. Then the cable has to do the same 5A it’s capable of doing today. Then the heat is the same.

When it comes to their own new connector/cable they can use even higher voltage or more/thicker conductors for power.

Sir, every professional developer knows there’s never time and people to maintain the testing environment so testing is done in production! That testing environment you’re dreaming of is missed shareholder value.

Reading this quote from wiki:

After the XX Congress, in an ultra-narrow circle of our closest friends and associates, we often discussed the problems of democratization of the country and society. We chose a simple – like a sledgehammer – method of propagating the “ideas” of late Lenin. A group of true, not imaginary reformers developed (of course, orally) the following plan: to strike with the authority of Lenin at Stalin, at Stalinism. And then, if successful, – to strike with Plekhanov and Social Democracy – at Lenin, and then – with liberalism and “moral socialism” – at revolutionarism in general … The Soviet totalitarian regime could be destroyed only through glasnost and totalitarian party discipline, while hiding behind the interests of improving socialism. […] Looking back, I can proudly say that a clever, but very simple tactic – the mechanisms of totalitarianism against the system of totalitarianism – has worked.

Especially this part - “and then – with liberalism and ‘moral socialism’ – at revolutionarism in general” - it makes it sound like at least this guy (Yakovlev) wanted to move away from economic socialism altogether. Am I reading this right? Is it taken out of some context in which it has a different meaning? I’m asking in case you’ve read more about the topic. If you haven’t, that’s alright.

I read the wiki page on Perestroika. Am I understanding correctly that the people who pushed it, at least some, wanted to move the union to social democracy?

Goddamn oof.

USB 3 should be plenty fast. Even 4-disks per port do 600MB/s. Get some USB-SATA adapters, or a multibay box, or some enclosures, and a USB hub. I was running 2 4-bay boxes on 2 USB 3 5Gb ports with 8-disk RAIDz2. Peaks at 1.3GB/s.

The ones born after the Great Depression lived through an abnormal period of capitalism. One that featured a lot of socialist policies. As far as I’ve read, most people were well aware that capitalism was dog shit for the working class before that and a lot believed socialism was the solution.

Or… perhaps… talk to people and try to understand why they think the way they do. Who knows, maybe you’d hear something that makes sense. Just an idea! :D

Damn that’s not nearly as much as I thought it will be. How’re those spontaneous combustion numbers?

As a leftist, I oppose far-right development.

Agreed. Snap is. It can do desktop and system components.

Big Social is unsurprisingly winning the competition for individuals’ attention.

Wait, I thought you’re French, dad sniffing the Fox from France?

Goddamn!

Isn’t this a death knell for Big Social Media?

Yeah, I’m in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) in Canada. There’s 40+ nodes on the map that I’ve discovered by sitting on my balcony and 70+ nodes altogether:

I expected way fewer than that!

Yup. There are people occasionally writing in LongFast.
