  • This one is insidious. Pretty much everyone agrees that social media is addictive and repetitive exposure at a young age has a startling negative effect on mental health.

    The downsides of this come mostly from the infrastructure that will be used to control access. If there suddenly exists a collective database that contains age and identity information for every citizen that is accessible online in some capacity to verify ID, that’s a really juicy target for online criminals and a huge blow to online privacy.

    The effects of the recent SSN hack are still to be seen, but that was a release of identification information for up to 2.9 billion people. It’s insane that people aren’t making a bigger deal of that.


  • It’s a known phenomenon.

    As it happens, people don’t often post their failures on social media, so if you’re comparing your life to someone else’s, you’re at an inherent disadvantage because you only ever see results.

    If you hang out with people in person and involved in their lives, then you get to experience the process leading to the results with all the failure baked in. It’s the difference between porn and sex.

    A few competent project managers would probably help things quite a bit, actually.

    Having a single point of contact for several disparate teams of people doing real work so that they can actually do that work, instead of spending extra time in endless meetings arguing over the best way to implement something that requires multiple people’s input is a valuable tool to have.

    Think of them like a tank in an RPG, taking all the meeting hits that would otherwise decimate the effectiveness of people actually putting the real work in.

    I’m not sure what hardware you’re running, but with my motherboard, to get 4x4x4x4 out of a slot requires sacrificing GPU bandwidth from x16 to x8

    to get 4x NVMe drives out of a single PCIe slot without bifurcation you need a card that has it’s own RAID controller. These aren’t cheap (think ~$500) as they are specialty hardware, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a whole professional workstation or server.
