When I heard about this previously I wondered if it's a way of developing tunnel boring technology and expertise that would ultimately be useful on Mars. Underground tunnels and spaces are likely to be useful for a Mars colony and Musk is trying to figure out a way to get someone to fund it here first.
"No diaspora of English nobility, many of whom left rather than become subject to Normans" - do you have any other links or more information about this comment, i.e. which nobles and where did they go? I'm curious to find out more as was not aware of this aspect. Thanks
Harold's mother, Gytha, left England with other prominent nobles. I seemed to recall her going to Flanders, Wikipedia (that credible source) suggests somewhere in Scandinavia instead.[1]
"Composed primarily of Scandinavians for the first 100 years, the guard began to see increasing numbers of Anglo-Saxons after the successful invasion of England by the Normans.
[..]
the Guard was commonly called the Englinbarrangoi (Anglo-Varangians) [after a point]"
Though I seriously don't think that not having English Varangians would've changed the course of Byzantine History-Manizkert, the Crusades, and lots of infighting and civil wars would've probably still happened. Manzikert was only 5 years in the future.
Well, thinking about this a bit more... you could argue that my position is really simplified.
Christianity wasn't that nice either. Exterminating all competing religions (Asatru, Catharism, South American religions etc) and probably even worse pogroms than the Muslim world, etc.
I was answering a question about where the Anglo Saxon nobility went after 1066. I didn't touch the main subject of this discussion (how history would have been different).
Edit: But please expand on the subject, as if I had meant that. It would be interesting. :-)
'sshd' is the reference command to the 'ssh daemon'.
To dknoll, SSHD for the Solid State Hybrid Disk, means that it has components of both drive systems, spinning platters and a functional amount of NAND for feequently used applications.
You could use it purely for it's SSD assuming the drive controller continues to function. Though that is a ridiculous proposal.
I understand what the device does and why they named it as they did. It's an awkward use of language, that's all I'm pointing out. I think 'Solid State Hybrid Disk' is a syntaxically incorrect name as it suggests the entire device is solid state when it is not. Hybrid State Disk perhaps?
I'm being super pedantic here, but see how you said hybrid before solid state in your third sentence when explaining it? That's basically what I just suggested would be a clearer name.
They are very different domains though, reading the whole sentence mentioning SSHD is probably enough to determine which one of the two is talked about...
A recent article in the Washington Post (Wonkblog) making the case for "Why daylight saving time isn’t as terrible as people think". US centric. The argument uses the data of number of days with "reasonable" sunrise and sunset times based on latitude/longitude when using DST or not.
The Seagate drives do seem to be improving in reliability though. The higher capacity Seagate drives which I presume are newer models have better failure rate numbers than the lower capacity drives. The 4 and 6TB drives seem to have reasonable failure rates compared to the other manufactures - only HGST is better than Seagate for the 4TB and Seagate 6TB drive has a lower failure rate than the HGST 8TB. FOr >4TB drives the Seagate 6TB has the lowest failure rate.
6TB 1.89%
4TB 2.19/2.99% (depending on model)
3TB 5.1/28.34% (depending on model)
2TB 10.1%
1.5TB 10.16%/23.86% (depending on model)
Not at all true. Most obvious reason being control premium (which applies to all buyers, but lot of other reasons why price paid by a buyer would be different, for example expected synergies)
Really just share price x shares outstanding - by one valuation method, share price in theory is driven by expected present value of future dividend stream, but even this is also very different from what you said (company's actual cash flow)
Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice. In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world which ultimately ends in failure
It may sound weird to some, but this is the first time I learned about those characters. I wanted to point this out in oder to stress the usefulness of the comment I am replying to.
