I worked at Cisco from 1999-2006 and 2001 was very scary. John seemed visibly shaken when he addressed the company in January 2001. The folks who didn't lose their jobs worried they would be next and many of us had most of our net worth tied up in CSCO (which declined precipitously). My team and I were laid off before the new matrix re-org, so I cannot say if it's been successful or not. But I still follow Cisco as John's public statements are a pretty good bellwether for the tech hardware industry.
Can anyone knowledgeable here speak about statistics offer some advice? I'm about to get into a project where, for the first time, I'll need to do some statistics processing and visualization. I haven't started on that component of it yet, and I'm free to choose whatever tool I want. Most of the rest of my project is in Haskell, but for the processing/visualization of statistics part, I was thinking of choosing R. Does anyone know how well Mathematica 8, or other commercial packages, stack up?
reminds me of this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1403301

i still really like the idea
I was playing Minecraft with my son, and besides clicking on things, it also has some commands that you can type in to change blocks. For example you can fill rectangular areas with the same block. I got curious about whether you could compress images by reducing them into a bunch of rectangles. Due to some limitations it wouldn't really work for images, but I got it working for QR codes: http://craftqr.com/
Its very easy to get good with unix. I usually use the tee rule for this (look up tee on google ;) )

1) Get a good linux, you can start with ubuntu. After getting comfy with ubuntu try another os, debian,And eventually to the hardcore ones like Arch, Artix and others. Try to do your usual thing with commandline. For example, How to copy using terminal,How to open a file with terminal, How to get lots of terminals inside terminal. Stuffs like this (trick is simply go ahead and add "How to do it in terminal" ;) ) Google them up. (www.giyf.com) Try to rice your system. It teaches crucial aspects about the appearance,usability etc.

2) Get a good book. No starch press has some good ones, even O reilly gets you into shape. The trick to good book is simple: Get a book, read it. If you love it finish it. There are open source notes as well. Awesome cli github is similar.

3) Try to create your own tools using 1,2 this will allow you to bend your brain. Stuffs like How can I get hackernews comments in my terminal, How can I create a shell script to remind me that 20mins have passed (pomodoro) and stuffs like that.

I have some starred repositories and Some simple tools of my own (Aeres-u99 @github) to check for some example.

I think with this (depending how extensively you do them) you can be decent
Where are they getting the money? Are they that profitable or state sponsored?
Thanks! I did not know squashfs, but yes it seems the same idea...

Thank you for your input, I think it might be of greater value if I could index enough data to provide a FUSE filesystem instead of a simple archive utility. That's a great idea, I'll look into it.
It's like you say. Noam Chomsky has published a book a while ago, called "Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power". Chapters are given titles implying "laws" for the concentration of wealth and power.

One chapter is titled "Attack Solidarity" and it describes how social solidarity in the US was eroded in the previous decades, resulting in a poor social state with almost no public health insurance, with no public higher education and so on.

But it's not just the US. This is happening in some other developed countries also (though hopefully not all, like you say). What is happening now in the UK, with the stockpiling situation, is absolutely the result of broken societal bonds that has led people to mistrust authorities and each other and adopt an attitude of "every man and every woman for themselves".

I should probably not blame people to be honest. They are acting like little shits, but they are right to believe that, if anything happens to them, nobody will take care of them and that they have to fend for themselves, in this selfish, greedy society that is governed by incompetent idiots.
They are aware of covid and seeking partners it seems: http://www.onebreathventilators.com/
Or it could just be a 'retaliation for the U.S. earlier ordering five Chinese state-owned media to be classified as “foreign missions.”'

You know, information from TFA itself.
In the US according to my real-estate agent from 10 years ago it is common to take out a loan for the 20% down-payment so you don't get the long term penalties.

This seemed to completely miss the point of a down-payment, but apparently banks were willing to go with it. They even offered the dual loans as a single product for convenience.

If you work the numbers out it can theoretically save money over the long term vs. renting long enough to save the 20%, especially if it means you can put more money into risky stocks with high returns, but it also increases your risk of financial disaster if the bubble for some reason ever stops inflating, but that never happens as we all know.

Personally I though it was too sketchy and went for a more traditional loan, but I know several people who took loans like that.

We have a known vaccine that works with 2 doses. We don’t know if 1 dose will work. We have single-dose vaccines with higher temperature tolerance from AstraZeneca and J&J ready to be approved.

Let’s not snatch defeat from the Jaws of victory. Let’s let the 2 dose vaccines goes to those who need it the most and the most at risk. They need more care and monitoring to entire they get both doses.

In a few months when the other vaccines come online then we have unimaginable more flexiblity.

Now is not the time to confuse Americans who apparently are easily confused. Take two doses now. Splitting them up and then some getting Moderna and some getting Pfizer is just a clusterfuck.
That’s the thing: Hydrogen is getting much cheaper as we speak. Cheap enough to become a real threat to companies not on board. It’s following the curve of PV solar right now and not some decades in the future.

Besides, what do companies have to gain by waiting for the technology to be ready before investing? It’s weird how people here lament the lack of foresight in the car industry, and yet on this subject immediately reject any kind of forward planning.

Finally, most of the negative stuff you heard is probably marketing or propaganda from businesses that don’t want to see fuel cell succeed. “2x more energy” is a misleading claim, as fuel cells are technically batteries and should close the gap eventually. Plus, you save energy by avoiding heavy batteries, do better in cold weather, and need less raw materials during production.
Exactly, paying more for the content to motivate one to ride seems like an extravagance when one could, y'know, just ride the bike.

+1 for the IC4, it seems like a much better piece of kit than it had a right to be at the (pre/early pandemic) price point - like $800 IIRC.
Interesting take but while there is some argument to be made for being outside... Cycling outside is not always better for you. Many people live in urban areas where cycling outside is dangerous and objectively worse for you due to fumes from cars.

I've lived in rural areas where biking outside was great and in cities where biking was prioritized but I've also lived in many places where biking outside put myself at a much higher risk of being injured than biking inside. Especially at night after work which is when many exercise.
> Which is still miniscule if you think of the number of users you need to have that many people online at once (it's a lot more). And Second Life is hardly massively popular. Like you say the effort -> reward is way off.

Yeah, it's not there yet. I've said as much. It might in the future. It could even be those same communities you've said if they grow their communities and add NFTs to match.

You couldn't buy bitcoin at an ATM or buy it from an exchange or to DeFi applications or have smart contract support (which required a different coin, Ethereum, but still that wouldn't have existed without bitcoin) or use it to pay your taxes or as legal tender in some countries or all sorts of shit when it first was created. The financial incentive wasn't there until the community and ecosystem grew to the point that it became desirable to do so.

Some of the people buying these things today believe (possibly incorrectly) that it's equivalent to buying a bitcoin before it could do these things, and positioning themselves to benefit once those things exist (I've literally seen a tweet that building for the metaverse is the equivalent of buying a $1 bitcoin). There are builders and coders actively working to try to make that a reality as much as possible. Will it succeed to the extent these NFT buyers are predicting? Most likely not. But will there be a much bigger community and ecosystem in five years than there is today, I'm relatively certain there will be.

> Right so poor UX and centralized authorities again.

I don't think most people care about decentralization or good UX as you think. Yes that's a selling point a lot of people make about Web 3, but it doesn't seem to matter that much. And I don't think we're ever getting to the point where everything is on the blockchain, because it just requires too much data and resources. So people are going to have to accept some form of centralization. Less centralization than Web 2 perhaps, but some centralization nonetheless.

I can see benefits to some decentralization without having to go whole hog and make everything decentralized.

> Well not if you own a BAYC image or anything not CC0.

What's your point? Yeah some people don't have the copyrights to their NFTs and those people can't legally make new things with them and/or games will need to get permission to include them in their games, just like the rest of the world works for everything right now. I've said from the beginning not every NFT will be integrated into every application (at least not legally).

> And the point about your game is exactly what I mean the effort to actually enforce the license you bought is not trivial and really only available to companies. So why buy the thing in the first place?

On integration with a game or app they can check that an NFT belongs to a specific collection and not the fake collection. Or not, depending on how they do it. It's just data and code, how do we keep track of real or fake digital items for anything else? I can right-click save a picture of a digital video game cover also, but without a verification code it won't unlock a downloadable copy in my Nintendo Switch.
Some kind of permissionless transactions on a decentralized ledger? I don't think the technology exists.
Reverse engineering of the Neural Engine is already under way:

Bill Gate's seemes kind of concerned about AI too? About a
week ago I heard him say something about how Robots might take
over low wage jobs in the future. As someone who has had more than a few
low wage jobs(state security guard, food server, cashier, etc. ), I think there is something to worry about. Actually,
I can't think of a job out there that won't be severely affected by AI and Robotics. It will start off slowly, and
who knows where it will end? I know I hated self checkout
kiosks at supermarkets, and hardware stores at first, but once I realized I didn't need to interact with anyone; I started to
look for the self-checkouts. It was just one less stressor in my day. And no, I'm not the guy who doesn't like to interact with people; I just don't like small talk, or dealing with someone who's having a bad day. As a former Security Guard--I honestly didn't care about the property I was protecting. I would honestly
help load the loot as long as I wasn't shot. I didn't protect any human life though. I saw a Microsoft built robot
patrolling a car lot, or something of the like, on T.V., and realized a robot can be programmed "to just protect, and serve!". I could see how it could do a better job than a
human, or me? I do see a computer running an established corporation
in the future. It will be programmed to maximize stockholders returns, but take on risk. It won't marry. It won't need Therapy. It won't need to buy a yacht. As to computer programming, I look at Ruby on Rails. Just how easy
will it be to put up a dynamic website in ten years? If Gates, Musk, and Hawkings are concerned--I'm concerned. AI dominance seems far off, unless you are a Golden Gate Toll Taker? I'm a nobody, but if I could add an admendment to the
U.S. constitutuion it would be along the use, and limits of AI, and Automation.

Contrary to popular belief, while temperatures do go down on average as you go further north, the really pronounced difference is how much it varies between its extremes. Realize that in the summer in these northern places, the sun is shining (or at least in twilight) past midnight, and comes back up very early in the morning, only a handful of hours later [1]. It actually gets quite warm [2].

I haven't used React in about 6 months, but I'm pretty certain the Riot code does the exact same thing.

If you haven't used React, it has JSX as syntactic sugar for what would otherwise be a bunch of javascript: see the "render" function in createClass. So a component is written in JS.

With Riot, the JS goes into the template to create a component.

There's a lot of things to like about React, but it requires some boilerplate and a larger API in order to support the amount of freedom it offers in updating (that Riot page goes into this a bit).

If you want something that keeps the HTML and JS separate but still allows components, while having a straightforward API along with a small file size, check out knockoutjs.com
The government should do a study on the most environmentally friendly, and healthy, form of nutrition, even if its a tasteless white paste. Then produce that. For the good of society, everything else should be heavily taxed, whether its red meat or a tofu burger.

I was in for six, well back in the previous century. I don't recall having that explained to me when I joined, but it probably was. I did however learn before getting out after my six that I was still subject to recall until the eight year clock ran out.
Correlation does not imply causation - the observed 75% reduction of cycling among children aged 5-17 (from 40 minutes to 10 minutes per person per week) from 1989/90 to 2005/08 coincides with the increase in popularity of internet/video games etc (and I believe, a drop in all forms of outdoor activity)

Censorship, by a company? On their own platform? How is that possible? As far as I know, only government cannot abridge your right to speech. A platform, like a store, has the right to remove those that use their platform to promote speech counter to the owner of the platform.

So we were the global tax haven that undercut the rest of the developed world for the past 50 to 100 years, and now that we're drowning in debt and the government needs revenue, we're asking very nicely that nobody plays spoiler.

Gotcha. Good luck with that.
> To argue interoperability Google would have needed to copy the entire JAVA SE API.

Only if Google wanted to argue interoperability as defined by Sun/Oracle. I've never seen a coherent argument why Sun's TCK should be considered the sole authority on what degree of interoperability should have legal significance in this copyright case, particularly given that Sun's TCK was part of their trademark licensing program.

And there are obvious reasons why a court would shy away from letting something like Sun's TCK be used as part of a significant legal test; for example, it's really awkward for legal purposes to define something as copyright infringement while it's a work in progress, but it suddenly becomes okay as soon as it attains the status of being 100% compatible and bug-free. It's also not clear how the law could reasonably handle a definition of interoperability that Sun/Oracle can unilaterally make into a moving target and add arbitrary requirements to.
It's crazy! I never realized I was anxious until I started anti-anxiety meds.

3. The buyers are only interested in acquiring the domain/brand, not the company's obligations and debt. They would get sold off in bankruptcy anyway.
Almost all websites allow it. The ones that don't are generally fairly restrictive and probably just check is_alnum(). I use it all the time to segregate incoming mail. I have 1Password and generate a random long password for each account, so I'm not particularly concerned if one or multiple accounts are breached. This means I have to trust 1Password of course, but I'll risk it.

The problem for me is inconsistent support. For example, when validation allows it, but the server-side strips the +. I recently booked a flight with Monarch (UK super budget), email address:

example+monarch@gmail.com

This got stripped to examplemonarch@gmail.com which I'm sure doesn't exist for my name. I couldn't change the email because.. surprise.. you need a confirmation email to do it. Fortunately you only need the booking reference and the address to check in, but it was a bit annoying.
Differences would be marginal. Computers are inherently bad at randomness.
I've had a couple eMMC go bad on single board computers. I initially only noticed the off-by-1 read errors when the radio data that was being recorded by the computers (8kB/s for 2+ years) as comma separated values started sometimes getting commas turned into the next character up in ascii which broke my visualization python script.

It's definitely something you learn the first time you use eMMC (or any low end storage tech).
It seems like the guy was unlucky. But corruption is a really bad thing and I lean on the side of anti-corruption any day of the week.

It’s very convenient that there was only one dose left for his sick wife. The wife was right to question whether it was right, but more importantly was that they should have considered the perception of the situation.

If something will have the look of corruption, but will result in waste, go for the waste, every time.

It would be easy to imagine a cooked up scheme whereby two vials were opened, instead of using an entire one resulting in a surplus of 10 doses with 6 hours expiry overnight which would mean “I had to give them to my family”.

So imagine if this is left to slide, there is the potential for huge numbers of vaccines to be given to family and friends. The desirability of the vaccine and the deadliness of the virus could also encourage bribes to propagate such schemes.

The whole thing has a very bad look and to trust the people in charge of the program would require a full investigation in order to clear the situation of corruption. Of the officials don’t act, they are at risk of being complicit.

The potential reputations damage from his action is much greater than he realized.

Copy paste this to other scenarios and I think you will find the excuse of “otherwise it would go to waste” a massive vector for all sorts of corruption at every level. How hard does someone try to find someone in need of something will go to waste? How will we ever know? It’s the slippery slope of corruption that poison societies.

Corruption is the deadliest thing in human existence.
Who cares? It’s one command to start the daemon.
what volume of writes per day, in MB, should you be expecting on a top of rack switch, though?

does it have some logging features you can't turn off? using as an example a cisco nexus 3064 I have sitting around here, all of the logging is done to an off-system destination over the network.

I can think of very few legitimate or sound network engineering practices that would require 1U, mostly layer-2 feature set switches to be writing anything more than a few dozen KB per day to their internal storage.

I can't say that I'm surprised to hear of something failing in a new and unique way in an edgecore switch, since the company (Accton) has also released a real dumpster fire of a series of outdoor radios in their Ignitenet brand, which have a spectacular failure rate.
