I remember back in 2016 when I woke up after a party, at 2 PM, and my flight was at 3:00. It was going to be my first time flying out of the City, so I immediately assumed I wouldn't even be able to check in my luggage on time. Then I remembered it was a last-minute business airport after all, so checked the check-in cut-off times on BA website and couldn't believe my eyes: 20 minutes before the flight. Managed to pack, get a cab from Dalston, get to the airport, check-in and still had time for a quick "breakfast". The smoothest experience ever, barring the hangover. And the views are astonishing!
you're right, I totally pulled that claim out of my ass. I think it's a reasonable assumption though, if only because most people can't actually afford to take a 20% paycut, unless it somehow offsets another significant expense (eg, childcare).
Article mentions svg supports <script> tag... Coolest use of it: https://www.xul.fr/svgtetris.svg
Yeah, the only place it really breaks down is where you're on the line between the standard deduction and any itemized deductions and finding out requires going through the whole process with itemized to see if you come out better. I've been right on that line since buying a house and it's annoying every year.

It's also unlikely to happen because a dedicated faction in the GOP specifically want taxes to be as annoying as possible to make people resent it more.
Parmer Lane, the road that SAS sits off of, is a parking lot in the morning and evening. I have to think that Austin is planning on expansion eventually if yet more people are driving on it, because that's what Texas does - build wider and wider roads, public transportation be damned.
> That would have prevented all the negative publicity.

Naw, it would have just shifted it to "Electricity Company cuts power to customers during Deadly Cold"
Not that it affects your overall point, but countries’ app stores are gated based on region you’ve configured your phone to, not where the phone’s physical location is.
Better. Retail price in Texas depends on time-of-use, so you're paid more per kWh for the electricity you net-generate during the day than the electricity you net-use during the night.

But how is this bad?
Almost fully self driving cars are physically dangerous to others. Whether or not you think people should be allowed to bankrupt themselves speculating on wholesale energy prices; it’s an entirely different situation.
Congress is capable of writing legislation to force a measurement.
You're asking about Subject-Object-Verb order.
> People buying electricity at wholesale prices is on them.

This feels too much like victim blaming for me to agree with. In general, people are lead to believe "wholesale" just means something like "cheaper in bulk" à la Costco. I am sympathetic to anyone who was ignorant of the fact that it meant their personal rates could be much much higher too.
The app is the size of a Debian installer with dozens of executables made over the course of 50 years.
That surprise EURCHF move was the largest single day G10 currency movement since the gold standard was dropped in the 1970s.

The main difference between this and bitcoin volatility is that this was the direct result of a central bank's action. Bitcoin has no central bank, yet still manages to have extreme volatility.
I don't think systemd is moving into this territory just for fun. I seem to recall it's because now the kernel is moving towards unified cgroups-trees if systemd wants to be able to use cgroups it more or less has to be "in charge" of them at the root, meaning it's going to have to take care of this sort of functionality.
OK. I think I find a way around.

Assume d XOR m = a. Find k = position of the first bit (from MSB to LSB) in a. Then d + m can be in [a + 2^(k+1),a + 2^(k+2),...,a + 2^63].

We will have less than 63 cases. In each case, after we find d and m, make sure they are in range and then linear test.

So in the end, we may need to run at most 63+3 = 66 N. But it still linear though.
I agree and here is my solution: two axes of moderation. The big, conspicuous, open-to-everyone up and down vote arrows feed into an agree/disagree poll whose total (agree votes minus disagree votes) is displayed by the comment.

Meanwhile, the useful/useless votes are smaller or perhaps harder to access, like the current "flag" system for comments where you have to click through to the comment's own page first. Perhaps voting either agree or disagree automatically registers your vote for useful, and to vote useless you have to click through like with "flag".
Hell, until this thread, I didn't even know you could still vote! I assumed something was broken since the scores weren't visible and have been waiting for them to reappear.
The website has to be served via DropBox too then, correct? So, DropBox is the web host too for the static site?
Of course there is, but I think in some ways it hurts RMS, and it hurts the image of the FSF.

A good friend of mine (a fellow hacker, actually a much much better hacker than me) and I were talking about Richard Stallman the other day. The guy deserves an enormous amount of credit for his contributions to humanity.

Think about what happened as a result of GCC. Think of how many things were enabled because of that.

Right now I'm sitting in one of the design studios over at ASU borrowing some bandwidth and hanging out with one of my friends while she works on an architectural model. Something that I never realized until I spent some time talking with her was how unbelievably lucky we are as nerds.

I was talking to her about what an architect hopes for after college.

Spend tons of $$ on school->hope you get a good internship->Hope you get hired somewhere good->hope that you get the privilege of working on something cool->maybe get a good job doing something fun.

You have to spend other people's money, lots of it, in order to do cool things in architecture.

With open source software (and I understand that GCC isn't all of open source software, but it's important) this isn't true at all.

My passion is for building websites. My webservers run linux, I use python as a scripting language, I use apache as a webserver, I use mysql as a database. If I get really big, maybe I'll use nginx as a proxy cache.

The only limiting factor in how much stuff I can build on my computer is how fast I can input new information into my brain. I'm constrained by my ability to learn and that is pretty much it.

This is huge, and this is something that is pretty unique to computers.

And think about the ways in which this freedom to create has revolutionized the way that humans communicate with one another. Think about how equalizing this is across the economic spectrum.

(I'm sorry, I went kindof off topic there...)

You've got all of these absolutely wonderful things happening in OSS. If somebody wanted to give Dr. Stallman a Nobel Prize for contributions to humanity, I wouldn't bat an eye.

But to "the outside world" a lot of these things are hidden behind a personality that is incredibly off-putting, and that's a little bit tragic. I wish Stallman was a tiny bit more "normal" just because I want more people exposed to the things that he has done.
What would the lawsuit be about? Is there a way that you would be sued as the actors "behind" the corporation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil)?
Will you be a director of the corporation as well? It's very common for people to sue directors of corporations (see D&O insurance for details [http://www.insurepro.net/html/directors_and_officers_explain...).

The liability might be less limited than you think. Liability for debt? Probably anyone that would lend money to you would want personal guarantees.

You may want to consult a lawyer if this could potentially be messy. Lawyers are expensive you say! See my comment below about law schools and clinics.
I used to agree with you until I realized the following:

RMS is part of a very different property rights movement... one that has a history in Western society but was generally abandoned in favor of the sort of understanding of property rights that most of us take for granted.

It is a coincidence that RMS is radical about other issues, such as 9/11, etc. It's likely that someone with his intellect who is so open to new ideas may tend to believe a wide variety of things that mainstream thinkers (like most of us) would find absurd.

The key points are that RMS's views are profoundly Western in their ideological roots (it's not like he smoked some herb and started reading about the property rights views of some remote island society)... and that he puts that philosophical difference ahead of the many possible compromises and middle ground positions he could have adopted. His views are not utopian either, they represent a mostly lost thread of Western thought.

Realizing this about RMS made me appreciate him more. In a world where we all take certain beliefs for granted, RMS reminds us that property is a social construct.
I'm still not sure why people ever used mysql for anything more than a simple datastore with sql interface.

Since time eternal (the 90's) mysql has been the fastest way on the net to lose your data. (I still remember the many data corruption bugs). Use postgres or if you have the need/money a DB like DB2.
The main thing about building all these private cloud setups, that bothered me most of time is security. It is not a big deal to take from GitHub and run all these bricks of your infrastructure, but how to maintain? Everything should be updated regularly, otherwise you risk to get your data dumped and leaked by some automatic crawler or home-grown hacker, once new vulnerability is discovered in any part of your tech stack.

The only easy solution I see is to hide everything in the private network and make accessible only under VPN. However, it is not that useful, when you need to get some file or read/reply email from some new device not owned by you.
But why is it even using the title to determine whether or not they are a child?

The whole thing is just bizarre - I guess it was outsourced to some chopshop.
cloud vendor lock-in fears are overblown. pricing and features will always be competitive between the big vendors. I suspect people waste a lot of time/money trying to be cloud agnostic.

Real vendor lock-in is when you have decades of code written against an Oracle DB and you're getting charged outrageous Oracle rates and it would also cost a fortune migrate.
No, we should counter them through economic and political pressure. Most sane people try to avoid nuclear war.
The bigger criticism I heard about the TPP was extending America's Intellectual Property laws even further across the globe.

And the secrecy was annoying as well.

What anti-consumer, anti-worker and anti-environment clauses are you referring to?

Of course, from the standpoint of mainstream economic theory, trade agreements are moot for their stated purpose: everyone is better off just opening up to unilateral free trade. No need for an agreement.

(Trade agreements can still be useful in practice to organize political coalitions for trade.)
Ironically no one is downvoting him. Just you.
How was attending this University? I recently moved family abroad from USA. Hoping my daughter may have interest in attending here for computer science. I am just blown away by the cost of US Universities. Not sure what you get out of USA schools anymore compared to some European Universities?

Though the main harm of VPNs IMO is that they lead to "the secure company-internal network" style thinking.
I hate fortinet stuff. My number one reason being the binary blob vpn client for linux, that you can't even download without an account. (so not in repos, have fun deploying to many machines) Also the annoying but more benign fact that everything has "Forti" in front of it.
Great Post

if anyone find Graphic And Webdesign Agency i suggest you go here https://pixency.com/ this agency provide amazing services.

by the way thanks for sharing amazing post
Senators dont represent people, they represent States. More States, more Senators. The same rule should apply to the house. More people, more representatives.
Yes you are clearly the victim of media brainwashing.
Coinbase is the retail on and off ramp for crypto. DEXs don’t solve that.
Yeah the text is uncomfortable, thankfully Firefox's Reader mode worked well.
The existing lock in effect of 13 would be orders of magnitude stronger. Nobody would ever sell and prices would skyrocket.
Interesting perspective, but considering how much everyone seems to want software, I think we have to say that the commons also captures a lot of the same value from plain text that the programmers do. That might work out to less of a negative externality than just a trade-off for everyone, especially when you consider the positive effects on the commons of the network effects that text makes easier.
Not being on the same level of feature parity with AWS/GCP can be considered a feature. Not everyone wants to drown in service orchestration and configs
That's ok. If you have that little patience with foolishness, I don't want you running my security. Users' foolishness gets a lot worse than that, and is most organizations' biggest vulnerability. Sometimes you just lock down their workstations, but sometimes that isn't an option. Then you have to face the problem directly. Getting up and leaving won't help.
Artificial scarcity is an absurd and broken model. Please don't put yourself or your prospective users through that nonsense.
This also occurs with taxi cabs as a Google search shows. This is absolutely something Lyft/Uber should be taking into account in their apps, but I think it could go even further. Female passengers can prefer a female driver; yes male can prefer male. Notify the driver ahead of time I have a dog, I have a child, I'm blind, I'm sweating like a beast please For the love of God turn on the a/c, etc.

I'm surprised but also not, and saddened that in 2021 this is still an issue.
It still doesn't make sense to attribute to a reader some words they didn't write.

Also there's a difference between the expectation that the letter can be truncated or just the gist of it extracted for reasons of space, and entire sentences or paragraphs rewritten in full. I would have never expected the latter even with a "right to edit letters reserved" disclaimer.
Hmm, I think you are looking for SP-GiST (unbalanced space partitioned GiST), unless you meant that implicitly. It can be much faster for...space partitioning.
Thomas:

> There is a fair argument that some digital platforms are sufficiently akin to common carriers or places of accommodation to be regulated in this manner

Ostensibly Thomas means that these digital platforms may be analogous to "common carriers" that transport goods or people for any person or company and are responsible for any possible loss of the goods during transport; or he means "places of accommodation" as noted in Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation.

Neither seem particularly similar to any of the FAANG.

As noted elsewhere in this thread, ISPs seems much closer to common carriers than any of FAANG.
No, Uber simply needs to accommodate a passenger with a service dog, by assigning the closest non-allergic driver to them, and the driver not refusing service.
Maybe, but for most of these 90% there is not much they can improve themselves. The system does not work for many people. In former times they would have just started a revolution, nowadays the get pills...
Seeing as there is no national certification for service animals, the same problem applies to them as well.
I think another important warning here is don't stop taking your meds without talking to your doctor first.

Author was very candid in that treatment really helped but doesn't mention if the taper was done with their Dr.

A lot of people end up thinking 'I feel great I'm cured,' so they stop and then relapse - or worse trigger episodes including suicide. I've made the mistake of stopping other meds without talking to Dr beforehand.

I do think though we need more research and solutions for long term side effects AND withdrawal issues that for a long time weren't taken seriously. The 'zaps' etc

I'd love to learn more about your use case. What kind of models are you training? What are you using Comet.ml for?

Thanks!
If it was wiped but you now have access to it, just send the recovery email anyway. Companies can't check if an address was deleted and then remade.
That's pretty impressive. Only 300 000 users affected & still promising to do better next year!
Unless you mean "changing the numbers around" there is no universe where this is remotely true.
It's not actually gold foil, it's typically a mettalised polymer film, Kapton. This becomes part of a multi-layer insulation material where each layer is composed of a different material that has certain advantageous properties, with all of the layers separated by a small shim between them to avoid thermal conduction.

I really gotta stop playing so much Kerbal Space Program.
That wouldn't exclude JRuby though
The answer was talking about astronauts' visors, not satellites.
Hmmm what?
The consumer also can't entirely walk away from the food market. That doesn't make food prices go out of control.
Most people have no idea that that is possible. To find out you have to play mystery meat with keys for ages.
I don't know, I'm not able to summon any interest in this development at all. Yahoo's PR agency/dept earned their keep this week, though.
If you can dig up a copy of the 1962 book "Space Medicine" by U. Slager, it's really interesting. It makes you realize how many questions they needed to answer experimentally before going into space. For example, how much acceleration can someone withstand. How much vibration and tumbling. Minimum and maximum survivable temperatures. How long can you be exposed to a vacuum. This was the era of putting people on rocket sleds to see what happens ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stapp ). My favorite factoid from that book is that guppies can tolerate 10000G for 30 sec. It also describes a guy who survived 482 degrees F for 4 minutes.
Definitely - playing with any data is the best way to learn the tools.

Just for giggles I built a tool that extracts all oracle permissions, sums that up into relationship information using PIG (this schema owner reads from here, writes to there, etc) and used first R/ggplot2 and then later Gephi to plot the results.

None of the data sets could be called big data by any stretch, and I could have done the processing more quickly with perl or python, or even a mix of shell commands. But that wasn't the point. It was to expand on the one day of training I'd had and help cement the ideas, and frankly it was to have fun.

Find something that you're passionate about or just plain sounds like fun and then use the tool you want to learn to solve your problem.
Pot. kettle. black - 'Tech Crunch' (stupid name) is the poster child for boosting sketchy tech that has more to do with financial shell games to pump and dump products and services than advancing tech for the good of mankind.

This was a good, funny article but there are thousands going bust or running their credit cards to the max trying to create new firms which is the darker side of all this...

The Valley tech funding circus is beyond bizarre...

I would prefer this all not be fact, and I wish it were not true, but I put this out there because I hope it isn't but it seems like it definitely is real and effectual. This is the biggest difficulty I've hit myself.
i've forgotten the most elementary stuff in interviews.. half the time if someone asks me what object oriented programming is, i can't remember basic tenets (encapsulation, polymorphism) yet i have no problem coding up a dependency graph pattern.

whoever breezes through such technical interview, has either just had 20 interviews with similar questions and it's fresh on their mind, or studied specifically to become good at technical interviewing.. The latter is what i figured out that i had to do to stop being rejected from jobs i was clearly qualified for, just because i couldn't articulate something i never really had to articulate in the past.
Sure, but if I own a house construction company and hire a contractor to do the roofs because I want to keep roof costs down at all costs I am responsible for the low salaries and poor conditions of my roof contractors.
Fair point. I meant right to a Miranda warning. Though the Warren court also firmed up and expanded some of the underlying rights.
Kids. They're a lot smarter than people give them credit for. Discuss philosophy with my three year old. Have a conversation with my 6 month old baby. Even though I don't understand his language, I could guess at what he's saying. And one of my favorite moments is just sitting in the garage having a tea party with the kids.

It's also nice to have someone love you unconditionally, and someone you can give to and share everything with, without expecting anything back.
Just my mind voice,

Knowledge - expands,
Space exploration knowledge - expands,
Sub atomic exploration - expands, (muon and we may even find its sub atomic particles as well)
Space - expands,
Number series - expands,
Fibonacci - expands.

Be warned when something expands, it's a trap.

Science expands external knowledge and shrinks self-knowledge,
Spirituality shrinks external-knowledge and expands self-knowledge.

Be warned when something expands.
Be warned when something shrinks.

E=mc^2

where c is not just the speed of light, c is the speed of space expansion as well.

Mass expands to form energy (star)

Energy shrinks to form mass (black hole)
Prototypes are useful when you already have a pretty clear picture for what you're trying to build and just need to figure out how it's going to work. If you have yet to validate that you understand the what, you're better off talking and whiteboarding than taking time to code up a prototype.
The thing is, early PCs were solving actual consumer problems fairly early in their life cycle. Even if the problem was "I don't want to have to pay a quarter and walk to the arcade every time I want to play Space Invaders."

Blockchain solves an interesting technical problem. The question is finding the right application FOR that problem. A decentralized currency is a good demo application because it demonstrates the problem well, but it fails to answer the question "Why is it better than a classic centralized system" outside of some niche cases.

The existing financial system has left itself open for disruption, but that means there's a lot of potential for them to deliver the "faster horses" style solutions people want (faster settlement, lower fees, easier onboarding, less international hurdles) without completely scrapping the ecosystem.

Conversely, if you want to treat today's cryptocurrency platforms as analogous to early PCs, what's their answer to the 1984 Macintosh, or a modern Threadripper workstation? By the time cryptocurrency's polished to a mainstream consumer product, will we have filed off a lot of the things current enthusiasts celebrate? Maybe "unreversible transactions" and "no-recourse self-banking" will be as quaint as "storing programs on standard audio cassettes" and "toggling in boot code from front panel switches"
I think 1/3rd of the problems I solve involve no code changes?

Often it's showing people another way to use an existing feature
What I'd like to know is - do they talk to the authors first?
