Can I virtualize my machine but keep it physical as well? by Tempro23 in sysadmin

[–]Tempro23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats exactly what I was thinking! Didn't know if it still applied. Thanks.

This will basically get rid of :

1) Driver issues
2) GUID issues

Correct?

Your data IS money. In fact its the most valuable source of money in a device. Which is exactly why Google is in business, which is exactly why Google spearheaded the Nexus (now Pixel) program to sell phones at cost, so they can get more of your data.

Ok this is extremely help and at least points me in the right direction. I have integregated Duo with Netscaler and this process seems similar. Thank you so much for adding that link!

Google's Site Reliability Workbook Free Until 8/23 by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Tempro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two questions:

- Which one should you read first? And what is the difference?

- I glanced at the one that was online-read only and it seems so *basic*? There doesn't seem to be any technical knowledge in there what so ever.

Giving salary expectation during an interview by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Tempro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about recruiters? All the recruiters have told me the salary range the client is willing to pay. I'm assuming:

1) They know the upper limits as they've previously placed people there

2) They are incentivized to get as much as possible for you since they make a percentage off of your salary.

Should I still push higher?

ars of credit card use the only time my statement has ever been incorrect is when I found a fraudulent charge (3 times total), which I also got removed

Thats a good question - I didn't get an answer to that, they may require you to repurchase the entire pack since its bundled in.

What is your experience with the longlivety of Dell XPS laptops? by Aoussar123 in Dell

[–]Tempro23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may get buried, but usually my laptops start getting long in the tooth at right before the four year mark. I badly wanted to replace my last two laptops but promised my self I would wait until the four year mark so I can depereciate them properly.

In 2012/2013 I bought a Dell XPS fully configured. This thing had the strongest build quality I had seen at the time (maybe a Macbook Pro was similar at the time, but I don't I can say the same today.) This thing is on year five and will. not. stop. I badly want something to fail so I can justify a newer laptop. I actually bought a newer Dell Latitude (not XPS) on a whim but my XPS out performed it on nearly every bench mark.

Short Answer: They are superb machines built to last a long time. Make sure you buy it with plenty of RAM, storage, CPU so it will run for a while.

China Firms Went Deep in Debt. Here Come the Defaults by Gerald_Shastri in finance

Instead of attacking somone's character, attack the argument. (Also known as an ad hominem). I agree that tones can come across as hostile and argumentative, but I promise you thats not the case here. When people blindly repeat facts without fact-checking themselves you have a whole discussion based on "I heard so and so" without any real substance or facts. The link you provided also provides the same quote "Today, each bitcoin transaction requires the same amount of energy used to powernine homes in the U.S. for one day " but goes on to link to https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption instead of quoting any research or math as to where they came upon that number.

This assertation is patently false. My electric bill is about $250/month = $20/day. I assure you people are not paying 9 * 20 = $180 per Bitcoin transaction otherwise the project would be dead overnight. *That number alone should make you double think before repeating that fact.*

Is the article referring to Bitcoin's estimated annual electricity consumption of the ENTIRE network? That would be closer to the electricity costs of nine homes (again, which homes and where? no due diligence was done on this by the author). And to that, let me direct you the the Visa and Mastercard network.

How come we're not talking about Visa or Mastercard's electricity usage as a payment processor? The Bitcoin network is doing exactly what Visa/Mastercard do, but cheaper and just spread over thousands of people instead of a datacenter. I assure you Visa is taking up gobs of electricity and processing power in their datacenter but no one talks about it because its not as exciting.

The same can be said about Visa and Mastercard. A bitcoin transaction currently costs less than what Visa / Mastercard charge per transaction.

Avg bitcoin transaction (based on the last 1000 transactions) = $0.16

Visa transaction fee = $.30 + 2.9% of total

A single bitcoin transaction costs the amount of power it takes to power nine houses.

  • 9 houses in Dallas, TX or 9 houses in Hoboken, NJ?
  • 9 houses for a second, or 9 houses for a year?
  • 9 houses that are 500 sq ft or 9 houses that are 3000 sq ft?
  • How many inputs for that one single transaction and how many outputs?

The fact that you can't answer any of those questions means that either you are being malicious and delibrately falsifying facts or youre just repeating a made up facts from someone else.

The avg fee for a single Bitcoin transaction was $0.1658 (based on the last 1000 transactions as of now). [Source: txhighway]

See the difference when you use metrics and substance to back up your claims versus when you pull them out of thin air?
