the economy is made up.

Of course it's "made up", that does not make it irrelevant or inconsequential. All of human language is "made up" too. That's some real "Im14andthisisdeep" shit right there.

you're so brainwashed by capitalism, that you think it's the system that's keeping those things running, and not the labor of the working class.

I didn't say a damn thing about capitalism. Don't project, and don't put words in my mouth.

I'm talking about logistics, administration and coordination, things that require "the system", or at least a system of some sort in order to function properly.

Of course it's labor that makes it happen, but when it comes down to it a hospital does not and will not manufacture its own resources (exam gloves, IV bags, water, electricity, etc). Those things must be produced somewhere else and brought to the hospital when needed, which means someone has to do the administrative work of deciding how much and how often, and how to get it from point A to point B. That administration is "the system" that you're so keen to break, without a plan to support the needs that are currently sustained by it.

I don't care if you listen to me or not, just stay out of our fucking way, bootlicker.

If you can't bring yourself to address the pragmatic details of your ideas then they belong in the bin alongside the venture capitalists. No amount of name calling on your part will change that.

OK, tell you what, when you can provide a plan in detail that describes how your local county hospital (not the entire country or anything, just one facility) will keep the lights on, clean water flowing, waste collection and disposal handled, sanitation supplies and other logistical needs met, emergency room staffed and operational, blood bags and critical medications in stock, and long- and short-term patient care needs met while you are busy "fucking" the current system (and presumably establishing a new one) then you might be worth listening to.

Until then you're just an angsty teenager making extreme accusations that only serve to highlight your very tenuous grasp of reality.

You have no idea what you're talking about in practice, or what the human cost would be.

Who is arguing in favor of fascism?

Sort of. If you actually spend time thinking about government infrastructure beyond the surface level, you look at how much extraordinary work is accomplished by organizations like NIST, or just your local county waste treatment facilities or hospitals, you recognize how much benefit you get from that every day, how many problems are solved for you before you even think about them (seriously, just try to wrap your head around what it means that you can just take any electrical device and plug it into a wall socket and it just gets power, and adding or removing devices at random doesn't bring down your local power grid or cause brownouts or safety hazards, and how complex the system behind that is) you realize how much staff and coordination is involved in keeping all of that working...

The reality is that "the system" is also "the people", and how can we escape from ourselves?

instructions unclear...

"The system" includes public hospitals, public libraries, public transit, public schools, waste collection, sewage & water treatment, public museums, public parks, as well as more abstract functions like standards organizations that ensure that when you plug an electrical device into a wall socket it doesn't burn your house down - plus all of the internal government infrastructure and staff required to make all of those services functional.

lol no, VC funding line goes up

I think there was an internal plan for Intel to split its design and fabrication departments into two companies like ten years ago.

They should be powered on if you want to retain data on them long-term. The controller should automatically check physical integrity and disable bad sections as needed.

I'm not sure if just connecting them to power would be enough for the controller to run error correction, or if they need to be connected to a computer. That might be model specific.

What server OS are you using? Are you already using some SSDs for cache drives?

Any backup is better than no backup, but SSDs are really not a good choice for long-term cold storage. You'll probably get tired of manually plugging them in to check integrity and update the backups pretty fast.

Er, so your view of the world is pro-bootlicking then?

And also, which of the Vietnamese government's officials are "the working class"?

Phạm Minh Chính, the intelligence/security officer?

Among other roles, he served as an intelligence officer in the Department of Europe and America within the Department of Intelligence. In March 1991, Phạm Minh Chính became an officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working at the Vietnamese Embassy in Romania.

Trần Thanh Mẫn, the business and economics doctorate?

He attended university majoring in Business Administration, was a graduate student in economics, successfully defended his PhD thesis in Economics and received his PhD in Economics in November 2009.

You believe these people are not greedy pigs? Hilarious. This is an oligarchy like any other, you're just choosing a different paint job.

Except that all of the board length measurements will not work out.
