But you wouldn't multiply, say, 74*14 to get the answer.

The US is what Americans think China is.

A W/h either is a big problem or will be soon.

Agreed. I'd happily settle for 1GB/s, maybe even less, if I could get the random seek times, power usage, durability, and density of SSDs without paying through the nose.

which flash memory kinda sucks at.

Au contraire, flash is amazing at random R/W compared to all previous non-volatile technologies. The fastest hard drives can do what, 4MB/s with 4k sectors, assuming a quarter rotation per random seek? And that's still fantastic compared to optical media, which in turn is way better than tape.

Obviously, volatile memory like SDRAM puts it to shame, but I'm a pretty big fan of being able to reboot.

15 GB/s is about on par with DDR3-1866. High-end DDR5 caa do well over triple that.

And that's not to mention the latency, which is the real point of RAM.

I never said it excused them, but it does to some degree explain them.

I was talking about the US leveling 95% of the buildings in what is now the DPRK. That put the North at a pretty big disadvantage economically, and hard economic times often lead to despots.

He got snippy about someone PRing gender-neutral language, calling it "politically motivated." His explanation was that they hadn't sent previous PRs, which seems like a stupid reason to reject that one; some people are better with language than they are at code, so they're more helpful fixing comments than fixing bugs.

That said, trans people were never mentioned, and the fight for gender-neutral language long predates any significant public awareness of trans people; also, "meltdown" seems like an exaggeration. He was somewhat rude, but not completely unhinged.

Madagascar was also on the short list.

Correct, except if 51% of voters in each state choose third party, they would have won.

But I knew, before the election and beyond a reasonable doubt, that that would not happen. That leaves me with the three choices mentioned above: keeping genocide the same, increasing genocide, or abdicating responsibility for choosing between the two.

And to be clear, I'm not very high on the genocide list. I will likely escape to a less horrible country before my number is drawn. It's my LGBT+, Chicano, and indigenous comrades I'm most worried about, followed by a long list of other traditionally marginalized groups.
