Because we need a bigger deterrent that complete loss of life on earth via hydrogen bomb?
And the matching rule: badly designed projects that blow up end up getting a lot of attention and resources, their engineers end up looking like heroes.

I remember the worst module of a very large J2EE website getting all the attention, got more developers, got 10x more hardware than planned... And in the end the lead was promoted. While several other modules did their work flawlessly and went unnoticed.

This is what you get when business people make decisions on technology projects.
Do you have any links? For example, Dupas writes,

"The third finding from recent pricing studies is
that people need not have paid for something to
value it. Households are as likely to use their
bednet when they get it for free as when they
have to pay for it (4, 7–9). People are as likely to
use their water filter if they paid a lower price
for it (2). This is surprising for two reasons. First,
standard economic theory suggests that charging
nontrivial user fees should help target products to
those who need them the most—and thus those
most likely to put them to appropriate use. But
this reasoning breaks down when people face
credit constraints and their ability to pay is lower
than their willingness to pay. When those who
could use a product the most are too poor to pay
cash for it, higher prices screen out the poor, not
just those with lower health returns from using
the product (9). Second, it is often thought that
the act of paying itself makes people value a
product or service more; the feeling of “guilt”
from having spent money on something that is
left unused would make people more diligent
users. However, experimental studies designed
to test the importance of this psychological
phenomenon suggest that this consideration
is not important when it comes to essential
health (2, 7, 10). The cost of poor health seems
a good enough incentive to put products to
good use."

their end users: Subsidize, but how much?" Science 345:1279-1281, 2014.

The swordsmen and towers are really strong indeed, perhaps a bit too strong, but I think the balance is close to good enough. You just have to be clever with what units you make, at what time.
I think the big part is affluence full stop. “Discretionary” spending tends to go to go to small businesses in larger proportions while big corporations get the non discretionary stuff. Niche products like those mentioned. Services (cleaning restaurants). Entertainments services. Those all lend well to smaller businesses.

More rich people. More niche products and fun services.

A middle class family spend most of their money on low cost brands at the supermarket supermarket, department store clothes and furniture, transport, accommodation, etc. Housing employs a lot of small businesses but apart from that, most of it goes to the big boys. Add 50% to their income and you’ll probably see more restaurants, craft products and such.

Mass production, mass appeal is the domain of large company.
The time it takes to propagate large blocks is definitely a major scalability limit.

That's why the Bitcoin devs are working on invertible Bloom lookup tables. The basic idea is that all the miners already have most of the transactions that are in the block. It's possible to send a small, fixed amount of information, that lets them reconstruct the entire block from the fixed-size block plus the transactions they already have. It's ok if they're missing a few transactions. If they're missing too many transactions, they can still request a full block.

This way the network can process almost as many transactions as can fit in miners' bandwidth. Even home broadband is sufficient for VISA-scale.

Six years ago I called you to ask you to be my advisor on a high school research project. You cried out of honor, and declined, because I lived too far away (Florida.) You're my idol!
> The only constraints are your time and your determination.

...The combination of which is often a luxury that experts in one field cannot afford, thus the statement that one cannot be an expert in every field. "Cannot" is most likely being used for practicality, not in the literal sense of information being totally unfathomable given infinite time and determination.

You both have good points but they really needn't conflict so harshly.
Then, why would they actually do all this with Gnip?

Because they have the Biz Dev resources to do it. It's all about the BD, this is nothing to do with technology.

This is all about the best way for Twitter to create $$ revenue as it ramps up for another fundraising round.
Intel tends to cheap out on the connection to the heatsink (see overclocker forums for the complaints). Which actually results in a hotter CPU to dissipate the same watts.

AMD spent the extra few $ for a good thermal connection between the silicon and the heat spreader.

The new threadripper and Epyc chips are also physically quite large. It's much easier to cool the head spreader with 8 hot spots spread across the chip than a single smaller hot spot.

So generally it's easy to get 180 watts out of a threadripper/Epyc chips than the equivalent Intel. In fact some of the highest end chips are not considered feasible to cool on air. It's either water cooling of throttling, like in the new Intel based Frontera (don't confuse that with the AMD based Frontier cluster).

Basically keeping a dual socket Xeon 8280 cool without throttling is not practical on air.
0% beef sounds accurate. If they were claiming 0.00000000000000000% beef, there might be an issue.
In this case Switzerland seems to be a pretty good choice: compulsory military service, difficult terrain, nuclear power plants (and with them the infrastructure to build the bomb)
Seems like upgrading to HTX is a seamless upgrade, we have upgraded in our testing environments, and it looks stable (as always).
Thanks for the input. I was hoping for a less manual solution but maybe this is the only reasonable approach.
It's been a long time since a complete unknown got enough of an advance to buy a Lamborghini.

Advances used to be seed funding, but now they're more like later series funding. Artists don't get them until they're up and running as a business, and they're treated more like investor input in exchange for management equity - politically and financially - than free cash.

In a very real sense, the music business pioneered the VC model. If you strip away the glamour from music, there are some very familiar relationships and strategies (and scams) on the business side.
I don't have a horse in this race - I don't use React Table or render tables in canvas. I still felt compelled to comment because it's not clear you realize that you're being closed-minded and ignoring what littlecranky67 is trying to explain.

Sometimes, no amount of optimization will achieve your performance objectives with the "obvious" path and you quickly find yourself deep in diminishing returns.

Sometimes, you really do have to do an extraordinary amount of work and cover an intimidating minefield of edge cases and heisenbugs to achieve a viable, working solution.

Of course it's almost always better to use a DOM library and just be done. Of course implementing copy+paste and drag-and-drop on Canvas is a masochistic slog. Nobody wants to do this; not even the insane.

The question is whether when the need arises and you've exhausted all other avenues, can you engineer the hard solution?

Ya I guess this is the way that they would have implemented.
I also doubt that online education at that level will have a big impact, but that's because of the properties of that age-group.

Online education usually already requires some educational foundations -- an app to help you learn trigonometry might be effective, but I doubt that an app to help you learn to read would be very effective. I also think that young children in this age-group tend to learn more by watching, interacting with, and mimicking adults than from objects. The educational foundations of the primary school level will likely have to be supplied by adults.
Thanks. Yes, they do, a lot. Even when they're not alone, they want to take a picture of their whole party and they do it like that.

It used to be that you asked someone to take your picture with your camera, but not anymore!

Tourists are self-reliant now. They're in a kind of bubble, they have their own bottle of water, they don't ask for directions because they look it up on their phone, etc.

Selfies are, fundamentally, PR; you're not shooting the Eiffel Tower, or even a souvenir of the time when you were in Paris; you're showing off for your friends, and you're in complete control of the frame, yourself, and even the moment when the shutter is pressed.

What I'm trying to do is show how all of this works, in a manner of speaking, "behind the scenes".
My first thought to this article was where's the speaker so i can desolder it.

If "programming foundations" must include memory management etc, you're certainly correct. However, there's a reason they use Python for intro classes at eg; MIT[0] - the language gets out of the way so you can focus on CS basics. Once you get control flow and the like, you can start to explore complexity et al.

I don't actually object to the death penalty too much from a moral perspective, but I'm no fan of it because - occasionally - it does seem like we might get it wrong. And if you get it wrong there's no undoing it.

If you falsely imprison somebody, even though you can't give them the time back, you can at least give them their freedom for the time they have left, and enough compensation to set them up for a decent life.

Certainly imprisoning a juvenile for a whole life term does seem to me the very definition of cruel and unusual, and especially if they weren't directly responsible for any murders.
"US pop-culture racial discourse" is a generous way of representing the de facto racial caste system in America as some kind of consensus.

Because people get browner the further southwest in Asia you go, a distinction is made.

Though its most fascinating that in America only recent immigrants would be referred to as European-American, if not their by their specific ethnicity, even though the majority of the country is European-descent; they're called "white" instead. "White" is a racial caste designation, European indicates a person descends from the people in a specific place on Earth; "white" is not a place on Earth.

And yet everyone who is not white gets referred to by where they're ancestors are from

> A fast look at that does indicate that some Oracle copyrighted code may have been copied verbatim

That's not really meaningful unless the code lifted is a non-obvious implementation of something. For as much as I know, it could be part of the only possible implementation of a public specification. I can copyright a document where I say 2 plus 2 is 4, yet, I cannot sue you for copyright infringement of you repeat this.

But that's not the point. The worse that could happen would be a version of Dalvik derived from the GPL'ed code in OpenJDK. As long as the don't step on Oracle's patents doing this in code that is not derived from Oracle GPL'ed code. It would have to be licensed under GPL, but the code that sits on top of it could be licensed under BSD-ish licenses just like Dalvik is now. What would happen is the GPL/BSD-ish divide would move up and encompass the VM and base classes.
He's right; if you only have a single host, and you're very confident about the host-based tools you're using to restrict access (note: you're much better off with netfilter or pf than you are with TCP Wrappers), there's little to be gained from deploying an additional machine just to do access control.

But, once you have two machines, it makes far better sense to centralize access control in a single place. With two machines, it's simply good engineering. As your stable of machines grows, it's less a style point and more a necessity. It's hard to keep a group of machines in sync with a single policy, and virtually impossible to avoid mistakes and windows of vulnerability over the long run.

An attacker that truly wants to target your network can continuously profile your network, and is more likely to spot your mistakes than you are. A sensible way to approach network security is to assume that there's always someone who's willing put forth the effort to break in.
"It's not that the schools want people to not learn, it's that the people who rely on the schools don't care if the schools foster this attitude."

Which is indeed a curious thing, given how much money they place on the line in all those jobs with a minimum degree attached to them. Are they just looking to employ only the successful liars and cheaters, and weed out the less competent ones?

Obama's policies have always been in line with bush, he voted for the patriot act extension (2006). As for Guantanamo & civil trials it's complete bullshit -- he's protecting people who should be tried for serious crimes, which makes him just as guilt. As for the civil trials, even if found not guilty the position of the obama administration is that they will not allowed to leave prison.
> The president actually has fairly little direct control.

The TSA is executive branch. The president has all control. He tells the TSA to jump and it says "how high."

All he'd have to to do is make a phone call. Appointing a replacement requires congressional confirmation, though.
A $8.5 billion subsidy to cover this last year's losses could have bought 20 million Americans iPads/netbooks.

What, exactly, would that achieve? Not the same function that the USPS does. Sure, 20 million more people would have a device, but they wouldn't have a "U.S. Email address" in the same way that they have a "U.S. Mail address". They would just have a way to use someone else's privately-owned infrastructure. Who knows how long that would last, or how reliable it would be?

If we're going to subsidize universal service, let's do it in a modern fashion.

I agree. But that means what we should be doing is building public infrastructure for new forms of communication, not farming it out to private infrastructure (which decides whether or not to deliver mail, first and foremost, on the basis of whether it is profitable) in order to save a buck. Let's have a national electronic service that:

- provides an "address" [1] to every citizen, with a directory that allows people to find each other

- provides guaranteed, reliable, on-time delivery at minimal cost to the sender

- guarantees secure communications

- provides a channel for official communications, from voting to tax forms to jury duty summons

[1] I'm not sure if "address" is the right metaphor or not. Certainly, a mere "government email address" wouldn't be sufficient. The basic point is that every individual citizen ought to have some sort of secure repository where they can receive communications of all kinds: email, documents, whatever. And it should be at least as easy to access this repository as it is to walk out your door to your mailbox. That means that, if people need a computer and Internet connection to access it, they must be provided with one; their hardware, software, and network connection must work at least as reliably as mail delivery does.
"Over the years, I've refined ways of stretching papers. I can write a four-word sentence in 40 words. Just give me one phrase of quotable text, and I'll produce two pages of ponderous explanation. I can say in 10 pages what most normal people could say in a paragraph."

I almost find this more depressing than the rampant cheating in which this author engages.
Sounds like a design fault in gritengine and love2d, not lua.
so far out of line with the empirical data we have regarding this issue

What is that empirical data? I'm curious, not being snide.
Government is not extremely price conscious. They're price idiosyncratic. To wit: federal agencies will have rules requiring an X% discount --- that discount being the basis of the "GSA price list" (searching for GSA price lists is a good way to find out what enterprise products with "call me" pricing actually cost). But GSA pricing is a facade. Lucrative enterprise software is value-priced. The price list might give an automatic 20% discount on a per SKU basis, but packaging ensures the deal sizes are comparable to enterprise deals.

And there are usually feature/function levers to pull to select out government clients for different price points.

I don't remember government RFP processes being a whole lot different from those of banks and tech companies.

I do remember that the fedgov team I worked with had a whole bunch of skeezy government-specific sales tactics it tried to leverage.

Peter Medawar is the best science writer—even Dawkins & Gould agree on that. He writes clearly with style and wit. His collection of essays "The Strange Case of the Spotted Mice" is a great read.
The kind of training necessary for becoming exceptional is entirely possible, but not scaleable, thus it's not a practical solution to the problem. I think the example you give supports that - mentorship tends to evolve organically from companies you work at, the colleagues you work with, etc. It'd be difficult to imagine good mentorship being assigned, and succeeding, at-scale.

Even the processes for training competent engineers are only barely scaleable. Most competent engineers are still being trained through colleges. Even newly emerging forms of training don't scale that well - take coding bootcamps with limited class sizes and the low success rate of things like Codecademy.
You are not pissed off of your work. You are pissed off of yourself. You are not complaining because the work is wrong, you are complaining because you are angry within, and you believe it is not your fault. You are not taking responsibility of your emotions as you are supposed to and as taught by all the masters of wisdoms. Go back home and rethink who you are. The world is not changing for you unless you change yourself. You are losses off because you are seeing an imperfect self everywhere .
Bill Gates is in my view deserving of every praise for his civic engagement, as well as a few others (e.g., those who have agreed to the pledge to give away much of their wealth). But I don’t think this is common. Just from the public statements of many billionaires, it seems that many do not think they have any civic obbligation at all.
@ puranjay and mumblemumble, okay fair enough. I see your point. I'm realizing that I don't think too much about hype.

And now I remember why that is :P
People would start to priorize. Not a bad thing.
I expect nothing less from someone from a company called "TrustX, a member of DigiTrust". Just like with any other scammer, when someone uses a word "trust" excessively, you know that you shouldn't.

Why is the company called TrustX instead of AdX, if that's what they're dealing with? Maybe so that they appear more innocent when they show up in your browser warnings or cookie alerts? That's the kind of "trust" they're hoping to exploit.

The parts I read seemed well-written, but I'm not sure any beginners are going to dive into a big tome like this.

I started reversing when I started coding, which was back in the 80s. Back then it was just trying to get extra lives on home computer-games.

Later I wanted to install software, and that lead me to +fravia, and some of the associated challenges.

It's almost too hard to step back and imagine whether a true beginner would follow along, but I think with the right motivation and a lot of baby-steps along the way it is a field that will always draw some people, and they'll get there in the end due to sheer tenacity, regardless of the quality of documentation they come across.
