How to overclock the microSD card reader on a Raspberry Pi 3 | Jeff Geerling

I finally got my hands on a Raspberry Pi 3 and wanted to see how it compares to the Pi 2 (review + benchmarks incoming!), but one of the first things I wanted to test was overclocking the microSD clock for better disk I/O. On average, with all the cards I've tested so far, overclocking the microSD reader resulted in 25-50% better performance for real-world disk operations (benchmarks further down in this post). And with a reliable power supply, you shouldn't need to worry about reliability or corruption (in my limited stress testing, I only had one corruption, and that was when I was using my cheaper iClever power supply).

Facebook allows employers to target job ads based on age, and that might be illegal - The Verge

Facebook has just come under even more scrutiny today for its lack of oversight into algorithmic ad targeting following a new joint investigation from The New York Times and ProPublica, this time focused on potential age discrimination.

microSD Card Benchmarks | Raspberry Pi Dramble

n my experience, one of the highest-impact upgrades you can perform is to buy the fastest possible microSD card—especially for applications where you need to do a lot of random reads and writes.

There is an order-of-magnitude difference between most cheap cards and the slightly-more-expensive ones (even if both are rated as being in the same class)—especially in small-block random I/O performance. As an example, if you use a normal, cheap microSD card for your database server, normal database operations can literally be 100x slower than if you used a standard microSD card.
