I tested the water at a local company. Did multiple water tests. First pull in the morning, another one after flushing for a few minutes and then in multiple areas. Home inspector let us know we may have lead in the joints for the pipes which turns out to be a significant amount.
As far as I know newer homes are using pex these days. I lived in a newer townhome prior to this house and that was pex too. There’s a place in Fremont that does water testing.
Replaced it with higher-end pex. Yes, there is a trade-off there, but to me the effects of lead over long periods of time are very scary. I also have a filter for our actual drinking water that is able to filter some micro plastics as well.
I have a young toddler so would have needed multiple filters throughout the house. They tend to like to drink from the bath and my anxiety can’t handle that.
I recently did a full replacement of my lead-soldered water pipes in my 1970s home in Seattle. Despite how much people rave about how great the drinking water is in Seattle, many homes have older piping systems, which will test positive for lead in the drinking water. It was a very expensive and time-consuming project, but I am glad I did it. Unfortunately, many will not even know they are being exposed due to the clean water reports from the city.
What promise? You know agreements change all the time right? Google photos, gmail, etc all used to be unlimited until recently. They’re running a business on money not promises from some forum reply.
The thing with Netflix is that they have such few open roles and there are plenty of other liquid high comp companies that pay similar. It was all about the original stock growth that just stuck I guess
Can anyone recommend a good reverse osmosis filtration that is actually certified and made by a company you can actually trust? I have one now, but not sure that it filters some of the PFOS/PFAS chemicals. There are so many clearly scammy companies claiming different types of certifications.
I really doubt that she's actively involved anymore. Her family's overall portfolio is worth 100s of millions, so she likely has her money parked in some family office managing her money for her. NVDA is one of the hottest stocks over the last few years. No doubt they're going to be making some bets here. Making 500k is nothing. What's scary is the amount she managed to make during her overall career.
The more data you have, the more savings. Savings at 1 exabyte are way different than savings at 10, 20, 50 exabytes. This ends up being a lot of storage racks. File revisions is a minimal part of the story.
It does change due to deletes. Otherwise, it would be obscenely expensive to never delete data. Garbage collection is hard but since it’s async it’s also possible to do efficiently while on SMR.
HDDs designed for industry have a lifespan of longer than 5 years in typical data centers. In fact, recently there have been many teams across industry expanding the lifetime of HDDs past 5 years well into 6 and 7.

Once, I took Calculus 2 in the summer at a local community college to save some money before attending University. In my class were what I assume to be two brothers. The oldest was probably 12 and the youngest was 8. I thought that was so cool at the time. Community colleges are extremely underrated and I wish I would have known more about available opportunities during High School. It's such a much better environment for focusing on just academics.
Of course, these systems are always designed for that. Just like every system is designed for a certain amount of availability. Also, even in a vacuum, things would degrade over time due to bit rot, etc. That's why the article mentions protections with verifiers and due to other things such accidental deletions due to potential bugs.
