I find this ironic this offering - "Bitcoin payments have been disabled for the Humble Book Bundle"
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.
To recap:
- there might have been more interest in the early English kings.
- 11th c England would be darker to history, because there wouldn't be a Doomsday Book.
- Harold II would have a great-king reputation for beating Tostig, Hardrada and William.
- England would have remained politically chaotic, including ...
- A likely civil war between Harold II and his own relatives.
Not addressed:
- Changes to English society and life. Would feudalism have been imported anyway?
- No diaspora of English nobility, many of whom left rather than become subject to Normans
Paul Kingsnorth's novel The Wake is an intriguing historical novel imagining how the Norman conquest affected everyday English folk.
"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
Can somebody tell Seagate what SSHD means.
This the the acronym Seagate uses for solid state hybrid drives - http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/solutions/solid-state-hybrid/
I don't think Backblaze uses any of these so likely they've just pulled a stock photo of a hard drive from somewhere.
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.

kirian commented on Hard Drive Reliability Review for 2015 backblaze.com/blog/hard-d... · Posted by u/chmars
When the data is consistent for several years you should already figure out that Seagate is not going to improve so fast, when they do improve in BackBlaze data you can start buying them again.
Large companies may buy Seagate due to the price advantage and the fact that their storage systems can better handle the drive failure rate.
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)

interesting adjective "most valuable." To many that equates to revenue generated, to others profitability. Haven't read this article but starred for later I'm curious to see what it says.
It's talking about Market Cap.
