Verizon's excuse for Skype limitations on their phones has to do with following – wait for it – FCC regulations to support law-enforcement monitoring:

http://connectedplanetonline.com/mobile-apps/news/verizon-sk...

So the Feds/FCC are not going to ride to your rescue as a Skype user with noble-minded net-neutrality regulations.

Quite probably, greater involvement by the FCC in defining what legitimate, 'neutral' internet service is will grow over time to be only that service that's 'responsible', that logs data for law enforcement, that enforces child-friendly content-blocking, and so forth.

A long-dead concept from the Clinton Administration – mandated backdoors into all private encryption, remember the Clipper Chip? – was recently revived by the Obama Administration:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/27/us/27wiretap.html

There is a risk that eventually, only packets that can be made transparent to the authorities on demand will be considered 'neutral', and ISPs will be required to block any other deeply opaque traffic, by the same agency now portrayed as some white knight.

The FCC is not the friend of internet or communications freedom.
Being lazy is NEVER a condition for success :).
Doesn't it make sense to have a built in web-server for a Go framework (since it seems like a language well-suited to creating server type software) rather than have an external web-server like Apache? Just thinking...
"Letting go of your users data". :)
Hi:
I got a reply by mail, then a follow-up call with a very friendly chimp. My project is probably not a perfect fit, but it was designed to help startups and I had planned to subsidize the service to free with the funds.

It's been a week or so with no follow-up, so probably not in.

But, I love this movement of successful companies giving back to the startup community. Good press, good business, good will with future customers.

MailChimp rocks. Good luck to everyone that applied.
There's hope - at least if you use nvidia.

According to that, hardware acceleration seems to work well in the current beta.
I get suspicious when articles talk in terms of "the Chinese" and "the Americans" and "the Germans." That is painting with such a broad brush. You know you are not the same as everyone else in your country, but it is so easy to fall back on the assumption that people in other countries must all be the same. It is really hard to write insightfully about the variety and complexity of real life, so instead we get articles like this.
As do I, but since I have a laptop I seem to do most of my work at the kitchen table.
I had the same issue with the power connector, and when I contacted Microsoft support (I used the online chat), they sent me a new one right away. It looks like the new one is designed slightly differently so that the fraying won't happen.

For what it's worth, I had the fraying problem on my old MacBook Air charter too.
Well I think there's a lot more places that someone would do something like this. Like a country club that is full of valuables could be a big target, especially if there are a lot of trophies or sports equipment.
We think their is a little bit of Kickstarter vibe in here, too. Users are indicating what they want i.e. the location requests. Just like people back a project on Kickstarter, users can essentially back on a product on Whttl by requesting that they launch in their city.
So who does this directly compete with?

I can think of:

http://backtype.com

and of course

http://bit.ly

Any word from the above companies regarding this announcement?

The packaged response is usually "we work with more platforms" but when Twitter represents 90% of the status update ecosphere, does that response really cut it anymore?
I must confess I don't get this post. The argument seems to boil down to "things could be worse, so stop complaining".
ah conditional probability. I wonder how many thousands of years of development we as a society have lost from a lack of understanding of this concept.

If there is a piece of maths that should be drilled into every student more than any other, its at least a vague understanding of the difference between joint and conditional probability. and the underlying knowledge the ability to make this distinction implies. Much more likely to be useful to a randomly selected daily life than trig, calculus or geometry.
That's what I interpret Flickr groups to be - a way to focus on a given subject rather than photography in general.

You need to prove the value of your product before you can start charging users $11. Your frontpage gives no indication of the value added.
it's a bit of a feeding cycle. When you're not treated as one, and it's not expected, you don't act like one. When there's a group, if they all want to act non-professionally, the one person who wants to is overruled or ostracized because they don't "fit in".
Nothing really new here.
Of course you can get more specific - for example, the Solaris kernel/libc combination is so tightly coupled that it is described as a "welded unit"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrfD3pC0VSs#t=29m10

OpenBSD solved the Year 2038 problem by incompatibly changing the kernel and libc ABI in lockstep, which broke every single existing binary application using time_t - how's that for tight coupling...

> Ads certainly don't feel like much of the FB experience, nowhere near the level of Google, or even Twitter.

Facebook creates an artificial distinction between labeled ads (which are, of course, obvious ads) and posts with paid reach (which are also ads, but presented as normal content), exactly for the purpose of maximizing the quantity of ads while minimizing the impression of content being dominated by ads.
The problem with this discussion is that it positions climate change is the biggest threat to humanity. But there are other dangers such as AI far more lethal to humans and there are other factors to take into consideration.

For instance its hard to see the world in general becoming richer and getting more people out of poverty by doing green if we dont find effective alternatives to the green energy we have today as it's simply not enough to just replace current usage but also develop solutions that are exponentially more effective.

At the same time its obvious that the way we currently ignore externalities in economy is not giving us a full picture of how things are really looking.

In my mind we have to trust technology to be the solution even though it might end up advancing us.
That sounds insane. Did no one just do a quick Google search and see that you can buy them all day long all over the internet? I think we need some more details on why they were going through your wallet and how and why they even considered a charge in this case.
Not sure if related, but my severe social anxiety started after I had a flu (as a kid, 2 weeks in bed) and was probably treated with antibiotics. I've just recently realized that there could be a connection. Haven't got rid of it.

Edit: Just found this: http://www.scribd.com/doc/28819342/Experimental-Treatment-fo... I'm going to try it and report back.
It is technically feasible for such a group to kill billions of people, to end modern civilization—perhaps even to drive the human race to extinction.

And our answer to this is... perfect surveillance?

To monitor all speech and text by everyone, everywhere, to detect bad intent before it happens?

Sounds futile and undesirable to me, especially considering the side effects.
Welcome to punctuated equilibria.
I think part of the problem is that there is no full letter/A4 device that isn't heart stoppingly expensive and hard to actually buy.

I might have most of the texts I need to read in digital form but I'm not going to read it on a tiny eReader meant for pulp fiction and my iPad has too many distractions for me to honestly get through dense centent like text books.
Have you noted your problem in the EC2 Forum or consulted AWS Support?
> C# has beautiful ideas about inline-async via generators that are similar to yield in ES6

Dart also has async/await, and synchronous generators using yield.
I've used cryogenic thermometers in my physics research, which IIRC were not thermocouples but basically calibrated chips of semiconductor, increasing their resistance at low temperatures. (Our usual temperature range went from 20 K down to 10 mK).

The trick with these puppies is to read the resistance without heating the thing up. We'd typically use a brief 4-probe DC measurement (4 probes so the leads don't contribute to the resistance), and inject a few or tens of nA, and read the voltage (in range of uV to mV).

Sometimes we used a lock-in amplifier, which is a pretty ingenius invention. You input a small AC signal, and then bandpass the output at the same frequency. That really cuts down on the noise at other frequencies, and lets you zero in on tiny signals from tiny currents with minimal heating.
It's not a tax on products (like VAT), it's a tax on specific difficult to acquire resources.

The costs of some things that you mention (oil, electricity) might well go up, but the costs of others might stay the same or drop depending on how much of their cost if attributable to labour costs. Locally sourced food might go down in price.

These price changes are exactly what the tax aims to achieve (e.g. lower energy use)

As some other commenters have pointed out, those particularly hard up can be compensated in some other way (e.g. tax credits).
to be clear, free markets are myths of yore. no one wants to participate in a true free market, as evidenced by griddy and its customers bowing out after having only gotten a taste of it. this term is typically used when an entity wants a particular regulation changed to suit their own advantage.

what we should all want are fair markets, where each participant is widely informed and not under coercion by other participants. regulations should only be used for the purpose of ensuring the fair market for all, including and especially individual consumers, not advantaging any particular entity as is often the case now.
This is evidenced by the reaction a dog has when you say anything with the, "who's a good boy?!" tone. You could be saying the dog is a dork or dumb and they're just as excited. The tone and body language play a huge role.

My dog intuitively knows just about anything I could want her to do. She follows me (or my SO if they're home) rendering commands like "come" irrelevant. If I put on pants during the day, she idles back and forth between where I am getting ready and her kennel, finally opening the door herself when I'm ready to leave, then I latch the gate.

She has a pretty consistent schedule so most of the time, when we're doing something, she knows exactly what her role is. Another great example is treats. For the longest time we only made her sit to get treats, so now she basically does that. A few months ago, I wanted her to learn lie down but I paired it with sit first. So now if she hears the treat bag, she'll come over to me, wait for me to say one word, then she sits, then waits for another word, and then she lays down. However those words are meaningless to her. If I say, "Lay down" first, she sits. You get the idea!

That said, she's a great pup and very well behaved. :)
For fun, you could even use redbean ( https://justine.lol/redbean/index.html ), which has been discussed on here recently. That would give you a tiny executable running a webserver that serves your webapp locally. Probably not much advantage compared to a plain html file, though. Might be smaller overall, since everything would be compressed.
Hi, Yes. you can switch over to JSON as you like. You can write everything in JSON or mix it up if that is useful. Like reference JSON files in your YAML using the _ref operator.

Hope you give it a try!

In regards to formatting sql, I used to do it the way shown, but a coworker formatted the columns in the select with the commas in front. This seemed strange to me until I tried it. I realized that this solved the problem of sometimes a query would be changed and the last item in the select list would be removed, but the last comma would not be removed. Or, a new item was added to the end of the select list, but they neglected to add in a comma at the end of the previous last item.

SELECT

col1

,col2

,COUNT(col3)

FROM

t1

JOIN t2 ON ta.pk = t2.fk

WHERE

col1 = col2

AND col3 > col4

GROUP BY

col1

,col2

HAVING

COUNT(col3) > 1

If the odds of being a mass shooter this year are ~.000001(based on us population and number of mass shootings in 2018) for the average US citizen and your 1200%(made up number) more likely to be a mass shooter with those traits your still only .000012 which is still highly unlikely. Interesting for research but shouldn't motivate your day to day actions/opinions.

I had exactly the same thought interesting "coincidence"
Yes and I feel like Half-Life 2 was a game they were going to make regardless of Steam. They just leveraged it to promote Steam. This just feels like they had no intention of making a HL game but VR hasn't taken off as much as they expected so they decided to create a game to promote it.
Spot on, this is also while many people back in the early 2010s were so turned off of laptops without CD drives, they might not ever use it, but they want to know they can. (ev dn through they didn't realize the tradeoff was battery)

"The amount of wealth controlled by top 1% in US stayed essentially the same for the last 100 years - about 1/3 (with some fluctuations, but roughly stayed around that). Some say US has an unusually high inequality, so if we take it as a top boundary, we can say that in the world top 1% controls no more than 1/3 of the wealth. Yet while one can say there are a lot of problems, no unimaginable horrors came out of it and society wasn't destroyed - on the contrary, life of virtually every person in all the strata of the society has become better."

I don't think that statistically follows - I've not done the math, but it reminds me quite a bit of Simpson's Paradox.
I can't view the page on my Nexus 5. it's just a thin line of something!
Not sure. Applying it to the design. By 30%you should have a general feel for what it's going to do, how it's going to do it, and why. You might even have a rough idea of the interface. This is probably 30%. Asking for criticism at this point is probably invaluable.
Not a whole lot. The Shuttle's max acceleration during launch was around 3 gees, and at this phase I believe it was more like 2.5 gees. 0.161 seconds at 3 gees is under 5 meters/second change in speed.
It's more specifically about getting pride out of the way, which is a necessary first step.
> Many will say how they care about cool features, built-in concurrency, nice stuff and in the end, when comes to releasing product if performance isn't there, it won't replace C++.

That's why Rust is about zero-cost abstractions, period. Unlike almost every other new language (for example, Go), we don't accept abstractions that compromise performance.

This is an article about Servo. We care about performance for Servo—along with safety, performance is Servo's entire raison d'être. Much of the focus on performance in Rust is motivated by the desire to build an engine that's faster—not just "as fast as" or "within the ballpark of", faster—than the existing C++ engines.
I believe 'The Daily Show' has evolved over couple of years as it has become the news source for a large subset of millennials. Hence now they mock relevant topics just to bring awareness as opposed to birth a movement which Oliver does best.

I said every "rule" and I guess I meant it generally. I certainly didn't mean to imply that every capricious Apple decision is good for users.
It's a hierarchy. Apple > Users > Devs > Partners. I think all their actions when viewed through this filter make sense.
Agreed, thats what i was thinking as well.
I doubt it, the correlation does not imply causation.

Grew up reading those in the former Yugoslavia. I think this comic shaped my sense of humor more than anything else.
> FWIW Free Pascal's developers have mentioned at the past that fast compiler performance isn't really something that they care much about

That's an interesting evolution. It had a lot of nice features, but compile time was the only thing about Delphi that was really magical.
I've become convinced that the best ORM approach is for the ORM to generate code from SQL and not the other way around.
I don't think you can define free-will in the absence of a definition for causality, and I have yet to see that.
is the "retrofit" strategy living in the past? living in 2021 it seems a bad choice to buy gasoline cars. Most new cars coming out will have some kind of driving assist (L2 autopilot).
This is a misunderstanding of QM. Probability isn't what's unusual, it's the Born rule and the fact that the world doesn't use probability laws over real numbers but over complex numbers. That's what gives waves some sense of reality.
It’s true it’s less than some other places, but it’s almost double the headline rate of inflation over that time. For a town that—let me tell you—truly has nothing going on.

Are their heat pumps linked to outside if their efficiency is so affected? The models I see generally pipe underground, where the temperature is mostly stable and isn't affected by a week of unusually cold weather.
I agree with you in part; there are at least a few entries in the list which would be better described as "pitfalls" than as "mistakes". But "subjective" does not describe every entry in the list; there's absolutely no reason not to lint, test, and profile a production application.
I wouldn't say "most" - it's basically just Go, Erlang/Elixir, and Haskell that offer blocking semantics with an eventloop under the hood. If you work in Java, the "easy" way is to use threads, and you have to think about it if you want non-blocking IO. If you work in C++, there is no "easy" way, and you have to think about it if you want non-blocking IO. If you work in PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, or Javascript, they are single-threaded by default but give you basic UNIX concurrency/IO primitives to work with.
I'd never heard of Exherbo; thanks for the pointer. (I've been looking at Nix and Aboriginal in search of a minimal distro that I can figure out how to put into a single repo and build with a single command.)

haven't checked since then, in 2016 GoogLeNet won the Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge 2014 (ILSVRC2014), and among misclassified by the model images was this image labeled "hay", and the model's predictions were: sorrel, hartebeest, Arabian camel, dromedary, Camelus dromedarius, warthog, gazelle.

I don’t use it yet, but I’m probably going to have to because my team is looking at using Kubeflow and it leverages Istio to do things like traffic-splitting and stuff so you can A/B test models without needing to handle that at your model code level.

KNative can also do really cool things like per-request routing, scale-to-zero deployments that it can bring back up when it gets a request, it’s pretty rad.
yes, a bit of a tangent into virtual conferences generally.
Brilliant lede to get me to watch your promotional video. All the same, Virurl looks interesting if it (you?) can hide from my friends the fact that I'm monetizing them.
"I'm more concerned about the treatment and sales of honey."

Not sure I am more concerned about the treatment of honey than I am about the overuse of pesticides (ethical treatment of bees), but I do agree that honey as a product is important. IMO, one cannot do more to "help bees" than to buy your honey local, natural (non-augmented food sources), and raw ("unheated": less than 118degf, but only to 100degf if possible).

Maybe you’re on an exceptional team, but I’ve never seen a Scala team that could deliver faster than a Python / Ruby / Java team.

Scala teams also have a hard time hiring and if they hire a dev that’s new to Scala they then have to deal with a very long ramp up time.
Not sure why that's your conclusion. Doesn't mean the bias doesn't exist.
