On point 2, you can build a 100 TB "NAS" with an 8 drive chassis and 8 of the new 20 TB drives. Pricing should be under 5 or 6k USD unless you go crazy on the server. That should give enough extra to allow for a good bit of RAID parity and filesystem overhead etc.

I think it's less about storage quantity now, and more about the available bandwidth for access to that storage, if we assume 100 TB is reasonable for a whole university. If we assume parallel reads from all 8 drives at, say, 200 MB/s (which is likely optimistic and assumes one single linear workload), this will only get you 12 Gbps.

Throw multiple users and a need to seek, and rapidly the cost seems to be to become random access, latency and bandwidth (SSD caching in a tiered architecture etc).

This might help Google justify higher pricing for storage than the "raw" storage cost, if the market will bear it. Alternatively, maybe the solution is for Google to badge up a non Google Drive storage service in the education workspace suite for research data, based on more appropriate cloud storage offerings with glacier type tiers etc? Offer universities unlimited storage and people will find incredible things to store there you never dreamed of....
Why even ask the question? Reject a job for whatever reason you want. If it’s because of teams…so be it
I mean, yes, you can say that the culture is different, but cultural lines are completely subjective. If you say that EVERYTHING is culturally relative, you are making the case that every culture should be okay with anything that any other culture does, and that respect for other cultures is more important than human rights.

If you take a more practical view and say that SOME things are culturally relative and others apply universally, I would argue that the government dictating human reproductive practices violates many human rights.

IMO governments should not control the production of humans.

Either way, I respect your view on this, just happen to disagree.
I worked for a couple of years providing modelling services to health institutions. We did the heavy work under the hood, while med practicioners were mostly interested in getting academic papers published.

For companies with the enterprise expertise it is difficult to enter with the right mindset because sales cycle ib healthcare is way too long.

Confirm that that major botlenecks are indeed getting data in shape for modelling. Feature engineering is key and domain specific. Forget brute force approaches like DL.

Also most AI practicioners in the field seem to ignore that doctors dont need to know who is sick but who is actionable. Its a completely different game.
I have no idea. But you can also sell an aftermarket 10k upgrade of "trim". I don't think toyota can offer that.

I don't think the bull case is very strong. But I do think the previous bear cases of "they cant run a factory", "they cant scale production", etc are all mostly disproven.

I would describe myself as bearish on their self-driving future as something I could trust to sleep or do work in. The recent videos are impressive and exciting. I hope they succeed.
I don't think a negative leap second would cause much of an issue at all. The reason a positive leap second was such a problem was because it add an "invalid entry", ie. 23:59:60.

But a negative leap second would just be skipping a valid entry, which happens all the time if you're using NTP to set your clock.

Sure, date math libraries would need to updated, but they already got updated for the positive leap second to have tables they can look up to find out which seconds to add, so adding an entry for a skip isn't much different.

Most of the havoc of the positive leap second was in time series data having that invalid entry. That won't happen with a negative leap second. There just won't be a value there.
This comment is to establish my gratitude to major service providers for removing hateful content and reestablishing trust with the people of the United States and the world who depend on their honesty and public service. Zuck, Jack and whoever is CEO this week at Reddit should be first in line for the Nobel Peace Prize after the General Atomics CEO.
> Obama derangement was readily labelled racism.

Because so much of it was tinged with racism

> Now Trump derangement is very strong

Yes some people are under the mistaken impression that there's anything good about Trump and therefore suprised when he doesn't seem to care for the future of our democracy and our country even a tiny bit
Uhh yeah, probably because the congresspeople were evacuated in a hurry because there was an angry mob storming their building?
Whatever you assume about how they would have voted, they didn't “literally” vote.

And the assumption that people who choose to vote have an equal distribution of political views to those who choose not to vote is ludicrous; people who, if they voted, would only vote for someone who isn't a major party candidate are going to be vastly overrepresented among nonvoters simply because they are more likely to feel participation is futile; it would be less inaccurate than assuming equal distribution—but still inaccurate—to assume every eligible nonvoter is equivalent to a vote against at least all of the major party candidates.
Yep. If you email me a proof of purchase (e.g. lulu receipt) I'll be happy to hook you up with the ebooks.

I really want people to read the print version---it is so much better than the PDF, because you can flip through it, refer back to previous sections, and most-importantly the small size (5.5" x 8.5") makes the book look un-intimidating.
it's a .co domain, so it has to abide by Colombian laws, say you start Google on a .co domain, then 10 years later there is a coup, and the new regime decides to take over your domain name
What GoDaddy is doing is very misleading on their main page by defaulting .co. If you weren't paying too much attention, you'd think it was .com instead of .co.

I don't know if they make it more clear during the purchasing process that you're really getting a .co domain from Republic of Colombia.
a) .com is where all users go by default. "Go check out ycombinator" means to you that it's a .com

b) .com has a ton more value for search engines...once again the same idea...if you have a .com, then you are the real business...if you have the .co you are just a pale imitation

c) .com has a ton more monetary value, creditcards.com might sell for 20 million, creditcards.net, might sell for 20K
Couldnt have said it better myself.
I voted for Obama in 2008 but after watching his first term decided that there was no way I could legitimize a second term. I voted Johnson and said loud and clear that Johnson was running on Obama's 2008 civil liberties platform, while Obama had been running as fast as he could in the wrong direction.

Obama has long ignored any backlash. During the OWS protests, he gave a jobs speech where he called for deregulation of Wall St. He knows nobody on the left will dare oppose him.

But what this means is that half the nation breathes a sign of relief, that we are being screwed by "our guy" instead of "the other guy" because if the same policies were put in place by someone from the other party, that would be a disaster.
And right before you buy it, you are incentive-aligned to crash BTC so that you can buy it cheaper than it's actual value.

Come on, markets are more complicated than that.
My friend said it took a few seconds, then the option appeared. Sorry for the 2nd hand account. I'm on iOS.
http://archive.is/pBkXS
I don't think iOS has any similarity to booting an x86 CPU by faking an SPI Flash chip, compiling the IBB, ME and BUP code on-the-fly as needed and validating it externally before feeding it to the ROM inside the CPU for loading and microcode installation. But the T1, T2 itself is similar to iOS, as is the initial M1 boot stage.
You can be exposed to a bitcoin etf or closed fund as well, there's a bunch now and probably more coming out.

EBIT, BTCC, GBTC, BTCG, QBTC, BITC

Watch out for momentary premiums/discounts on share price though. https://bitbo.io/ for quick calculations.
The in-store brands are just repackaged name brand products at a reduce price. "Kirkland" is a brand, but they don't really produce anything as far as I know. Most of the time, the actual name brand product is on the same shelf as the in-store branded product, so you can directly compare the ingredients and nutrition labels to see they are identical.
It's your comment ... do whatever you want.

P.S. the article and headline have changed many times in the last hour.
> By now we were supposed to be living in an internet dystopia.

To be clear, the implications were always expected to be that ISP would start running extortion rackets where they would charge fees to competitors or large internet money makers. Effectively double-dipping on consumers, so not only do you pay the ISP for internet access, but Google, Netflix, et al have to pay ISPs for access to you.

This did happen. Netflix was throttled a few years ago and they reached a "deal" with Comcast and a few months later, Netflix rates were increased.
Maybe Safemail?
I wonder if in such quantities it costs less than copper wire of the same length with respective infrastructure.
Yeah, it's truly is fascinating.
Maybe

Is the way ? :)
Signalling incorrectly on roundabouts is pretty common in the UK. In fact, I would say only a minority of drivers signal correctly when turning right at a roundabout.
Any bank / investment company that does high frequency trading and the like where milliseconds matter will have servers located locally in Tokyo or London.
"everyone will have access to"

What makes you think everyone will have access to all of the bandwidth on the cable. It's pretty common for large companies to buy dedicated blocks on bandwidth on long distance links for their own internal private networks and such things are not cheap and often have maximum latency requirements that are nothing to do with financial trading.
> There are ways to run that are less damaging

I looked into this quite a bit some years ago and found no research to suggest more cushioned shoes, less cushioned shoes, pronation-control shoes, barefoot running, etc. have any effect on injury rates. Are there recent studies or info that I missed on this topic?

> it's unlikely to be so damaging to you as to outweigh its benefits

It's even possible that all the shock and load bearing of running /is/ a benefit.

Running is associated with acute injuries of all sorts, but as others have commented does not correlate with osteoarthritis or other long term injuries.
Maybe one of these would help us help you.

Also consider that blogs get different comment rates depending on what they are about.

My wife's blog gets about 10+ comments per post with only 100-300 uniques per day. Sometimes a traffic spike will bring in a bunch of extra hits, but the amount of comments left after the spike depends on who was coming in. If it was a bunch of web developers or something: zero comments, even over thousands of hits.

A minor conclusion I draw from this is that blog comments come from community people, visitors and fans who keep coming back.

The "jadedness" of the community is a far bigger factor though. Some people are on a quest to consume, and not necessarily to participate.
Well, I think there was a time when Macs stood for being different and appealed to those with an open mind and brave enough to try new things.

Looking at this it seems like they now stand for closed-mindedness and eliteness.
The Running Man.
For the most part I would agree with you, however every now and then you do see some truly interesting follow-ups, feedback and discussion in comments. It depends on the subject of your blog, the subject of the specific post in question, and the type of readers you have, really.
Artist renditions of news events have been published in newspapers for a very long time. I know this has been happening in Japan since the 1800's. I suspect this has been happening in the Anericas since the 1700's. What's new here? Is it the risk of photorealistic fabrications?
That article was horribly written. It went off in a thousand different directions and had no storyline. Also, the valid criticisms are entwined with misconceptions and inaccuracies that undermine them. I appreciate getting a read of the current sentiment but it was really hard to read.
I'm working on an app now that uses PIL to create some fairly complex composite graphics with serial numbers printed on them. Can't do that on App Engine.

Their version of PIL is buggy. I had to use composite() to do crop() in order to get rid of black lines on the edges of images (seemingly random, couldn't get repeatable results).

The datastore is slow and requires a lot of planning to do even basic stuff. You also have to manually memcache everything to speed things up.

Hard 10 second limit on db queries and a 30 second limit on requests. There's a famous bug that kills db queries randomly. I'm not sure they ever fixed it but there's a monkey patch floating around that keeps trying until the time limit is reached.

Deploys timeout constantly. A one click deploy isn't that attractive if it takes over a minute to complete.

Mail handling is terrible and only got introduced (inbound) after I had been using it for a long time. When I say terrible I mean buggy and unpatched. You have to write your own attachment handling to work around it.

If you don't have a heavily trafficked app, your app 'goes to sleep' often (gets unloaded from memory). There's a pretty long wait when it fires up again.

When they (or you) do have a problem, there's really no connection to support. There's a group but you have to wait for a response.

There are a lot more but I can't remember all of them at the moment. I've since just moved to a vanilla Django deploy. I would never go back.
It might be a legal issue- elsewhere, it's been mentioned that it is much easier to be in the clear operating private servers via existing LAN capabilities. Lawsuits have been sent to bnetd people and Battle.net 2.0 reversers.
Conclusion:
"We managed to get a healthy 1.2MB download speed, and 281Kbps upload in the office, certainly fast enough to power mobile web."
Of all the gun uses I am aware of among every person I have ever known, only one single bullet would have been prevented from leaving the barrel by a system like this.

That bullet killed a child and sent the (accidental) shooter to prison.
FPGAs in a networked kit like this could still be repurposed in some way, yeah? Perhaps not as broadly as the typical server.
UK has never quite had US-style property tax, as that would be incredibly unpopular with hereditary landowners. Instead we have "rates", based on imputed rental value and paid by the occupier of a property. There is also stamp duty at time of sale, and capital gains tax (which is waived for principle residence).

After a disastrous attempt at a poll tax, the system was renamed "council tax" for residential property. It's banded, so very high value property is under taxed. e.g. http://www.theguardian.com/money/2012/mar/09/council-tax-in-...
My wife says it's because women get bladder and urinary tract infections much more easily than men.

They flooded the Facebook pages of both stores with angry comments; some even called in death threats, according to a video later posted by Andy Raymond, an owner of Engage Armament.

Thank god they are the ones with guns....
> Restaurants are a reflection of what the population wants, not the driver. In order for there to be more vegetarian choices in a restaurant there has to be more demand for those items. Restaurants that don't do that go out of business.

This isn't true. A restaurant isn't some optimal menu allocating machine, you can be profitable enough to continue operating even if you would be even more profitable by changing the menu to offer different or more inclusive options.
Good answers, thanks.

The obvious omission was the lack of reply about IPv6 support. Do your guests get IPv6 access by default, or can it be added if not?

PS. You might want to update your SSL configuration to avoid the POODLE-attack, and add perfect forward secrecy too.
Azure is not a bad option. They have a free level of service with Azure WebPages that I've used for my hand-rolled ASP.NET MVC4 blog (richardssoftware.net). Once you're setup, its dead simple to update your app, either through Visual Studio or by setting up GitHub integration to automatically publish on commit.

Using a custom domain name requires that you bump up to the next level, but that is only about $10 a month.
Its unlikely any race would last unchanged for 50 million years. They could likely lose interest in colonizing long before that much time had passed. So the question becomes: how much colonization can one race accomplish before burning out their will to continue?

Just 2 million years ago, human ancestors were small-brained apemen. A million years is a long time.
That sounds awesome.

Surprisingly or not, PWM circuits (a counter and binary comparator) are more common than DACs on today's microcontrollers. I blew up some somewhat expensive tweeters finding out that just because you can't hear the 31.275kHz PWM carrier doesn't mean the amplifier isn't amplifying it.
>Isn't "Beaf" supposed to be mash upbetween "Beef" and "Leaf" so you shouldn't expect "Beaf" to be "beef"

You can tell if you're reading the name, but not verbally. If I was at dinner party and someone asked me if I had tried the "Beaf," there's no way to know. Same with "Chik'n" or whatever it's called.

Naming products that way seems fairly irresponsible.
Yes, but ... most existing computer systems are subtly broken for date/time in different ways anyway. Leap days, leap seconds, daylight savings shifts, timezones in general, the above mentioned "year of the week". You'd be substituting a certain number of "this is subtly broken" bugs for a certain number of "this is obviously not implemented correctly" bugs.
> But no, it's not terrorism, especially not merely because they say it is. There's no violence, and the perpetrators not only don't want to be found out, they don't even want people to realize that something happened. Not all evil is terrorism (but all terrorism is evil).

You're going by the dictionary definition, I'm going by "it's whatever they say it is".
It was mentioned on the Robots & Dinosaurs mailing list - but no discussion resulted and it didn't seem to gain any traction.

The OzberryPi crowd, who are the other Sydney based bunch I'd have half expected to be interested, are all a bit quiet right now...
I really have no opinion either way. The thought just crossed my head. What if.
Knowing the federal government, I can easily imagine it costing MORE than $50/taxpayer. Just we don't pay for something directly doesn't mean it's free.
Reading this thread is giving me some catharsis. I worked on a large project in a big tech company where the org’s leadership was ideologically determined to build everything in Scala. We ended up with dozens of engineers and failed to deliver basic functionality. The leadership eventually left the company and now they are running a startup with a few of the Scala savants from the old team. They got lots of funding and they invited me to visit to get me to join. They showed me the awesome type system they had implemented and tried to demo it but the product was broken in five ways.
Ceiling fans are awesome. Especially when you operate them in reverse in the winter.
Right, but most of the time I don't want to influence powerful people. I want to sell shoes.
Will VeriFLY become a de facto international passport-like tool (Daon VeriFly Application (“Application”) is a smart digital wellness passport)?

I am also concerned for the requirements if this becomes mandatory to fly:

It requires a smart phone.

It requires biometrics to be shared in the app.

It requires the app to function.

It requires the smart phone to be connected to a data network.

Daon's privacy statement also have some concerning info (http://go.daon.com/veriflyapp-privacy-policy) as to what they collect:

"Information automatically collected or inferred from your interaction with us"

"Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory or similar information"

.... Olfactory is a new one for me.
> And shepherding such an integrated company through one of the biggest tech booms in history is nothing to relegate to mere salesmanship.

In fact, that's a perfect place for a salesman. Steve Jobs proves it -- he didn't design the products that Apple sold, he sold them to the public.

Henry Ford didn't invent or design cars, he sold them. Thomas J. Watson didn't invent the computer, he sold computers. James McNerney Jr. (Boeing chairman) isn't an aerodynamic engineer, he sells airplanes to eager customers.

The reason for this reverence for salesmen is because of a peculiarity of American history and because of some deplorable defects in our educational system. It's because Americans think Willy Loman was the hero in "Death of a Salesman".
I think the counter-argument is "This is guaranteed to save a few lives over the years". It may not be great for every condition, particularly mid-town Manhattan or Los Angeles, but in other cities, having a car engine sound does alert people walking that something is coming.
Will you allow the apps to stay up for a while after the competition? If I have an app that indexes a million docs, but has low traffic, I really can't afford to be paying 300/mo immediately after the competition ends.

Maybe you can offer a deal where if someone puts a "built with indextank" sticker/link on the app you'll keep it up for a little while? Could be good marketing maybe?
The jerkiness is subjective - it's not an active problem to worry about

The whole point of the article is that the subjective matters -- literally to the tune of Billions.
Thanks for the explanation. I've never used AOLServer and was unaware of its limitations. Seems to have the same limitations/scaling problems as the two most popular Apache MPMs. :)

My main setup nowadays is HAPRoxy -> nginx load balancers -> Unicorns.
Theft is the substraction of an object. Priacy may be wrong, it sure is illegal, but it is not theft. Saying piracy is theft is akin to saying braking and entering is murder.
Cheaper than just hiring out a botnet?
I think it useful for helping gauge what makes people tick, remember that people lie on a spectrum. Everyone [I know] who has been through has commented that it has provided some insight into how they work. It doesn't pigeon-hole people: after all its not a psychiatric label and simply attempts to crystallize a few key traits into a manageable form. Life is spectrum and MB gets some of these key axes right.

Wasn't it Jung that defined the extrovert and the introvert?
Which is why I mentioned Intrinsity in my comment and indicated that the A4 looked like Intrinsity's work (optimization and improvements of existing designs) more than PA Semi's (new chip designs from ground up)
That's good to hear. I was intimidated by the patent's existence myself.

As an aside, I thought all that's required for that kind of defense is a provisional application. And if you really want it to pass into the public domain, you can simply let a year lapse without completing application.

Is that right? I'm not an expert and I've never patented anything. Maybe it's better to actually get the patent.
I was hoping the Pylons blog would have a post about this as well. It's hard to tell what this means for Pylons going forward.
The whole post is about math processing errors.
