did you use GOMAXPROCS=$YOUR_CORES ? or just the standard in 1.2? Actually golang is really good in multithreading. Next you also have a Java example, did you warm it up or not? Actually thats why I hate benchmarks, since mostly they are screwed since most people who are writing benchmarks actually knowing just a little of each language.

Dictionaries don't specify that sharing be free, sure, but that's because the concept of 'i give you part of something i am in excess of in exchange for something' is already called selling, and 'i allow you to use part of something i am in excess of in exchange for something' (airBnB) is already called renting. Those activities are not sharing because they are already renting and selling, which are incompatable with sharing.

By induction, sharing must not involve transaction of money between the two parties doing the sharing. A timeshare is sharing because the people who share the condo do not pay each other, they both pay someone else and agree on when each party will have access.

Also, Uber's claim to be 'ride sharing' is the idea that the rider is filling otherwise empty space in the drivers car. It's original purpose was to let drivers pick up strangers to fill otherwise empty seats while on their way to do other things, it just mutated into the 'driver as a profession' form that we have now, so I think it does fit your definition.
The question I would like answered is "What is the optimal mean surface temperature of the Earth?"

It's hard for me to get all worked up over climate change when no one can tell me whether the observations indicate a trend towards or away from an overall improvement. It's easy to show that things are changing. It's slightly more difficult to show that such changes are resulting from human activity. But no one seems to know whether things are accidentally getting better or accidentally getting worse.

How would anyone know what to "fix" if they can't even identify what is broken? It's like everyone is engaged in an archery contest, and the location of the bulls-eye is revealed only after everyone shoots. You can't correct your aim if you don't know what you're shooting at.
It would be interesting to put together a list of these "good idea, but poor execution" ideas. It would probably be a good list of things to try again.
That is plausible. These two narratives are not even inconsistent with each other.

In fact, we might not even have (initially) overstaffed prosecutors offices; we might have had the right # to clean up the 80's, and simply maintained staffing levels when we should have reduced it. (Shrinking leviathon is hard.)

Though are you intending to suggest that crime wasn't as big a deal as it was perceived during our "decades-long national freakout"? I haven't investigated this and have no real opinion, I'm just curious.
Sometimes I feel guilty closing even low quality issues like those :(
> So what caused the bump in crime?

Baby Boomers.

More than anything, over the long term, the crime rate correlates with the proportion of the population that is males between, IIRC, the ages of about 15 and 25. The "crime wave" of the 1960s through 1980s was just the demographic bulge of the Post-WWII Baby Boom moving through that age bracket.

I don't see how banning an economic activity would have a positive impact on overall welfare. I can't exactly describe why but It seems like a very archaic economic idea.

Similarly, you can say [item] is too expensive, so let's ban using [item] on anything other [essential purpose].

Of course [essential purpose] is a complete value judgement determined by politic incentives.

Perhaps this would work if housing were truly a fixed commodity, but kind of like other commodities, it is not. For instance, we're yet to reach peak oil. In fact, oil reserves go up pretty much every year [0].

Making housing less valuable to land owners would discourage new construction and likely result in other unforeseen consequences.

Its not actually inconceivable. The world is changing. We have to suppose a new sort of industrial infrastructure. One that doesn't need (so many) people to run it. The level of lifestyle (or standard of living) can certainly stay high, even increase, without so many people working. Its already happening!

Rising unemployment is partly due to a rise in automation and industrial efficiency. The ultimate limit is, (almost) nobody needs to work, yet goods are still available and continue to increase.
It's a stronger (sounds better) defense if it holds up, but it's also rebuttable.

My question is not about whether this answer is the right choice, but about the creation of the answers. Bar exams focus on abstract concepts, so if the general lack of privacy in public spaces is such a thing, I would have expected it there.

"I agree, except AirBnB means you are expected to operate a mini-hotel (without the protections of a hotel)."

Not necessarily, you can just rent a basic room with nothing else, some people do.

But I agree with you on the point of the law, that's a tricky issue, but easily solvable by changing laws.

But in the end, like my Uber example, the largest part of the cost is still the asset compensation, not the additional services.
Typeset material does not have "spaces", it has space, and there is more of it after a full-stop than there is between unpunctuated words. Using two spaces in non-typeset material is no-more incorrect than is using a hyphen in place of an em- or en-dash. The author is a herbert.
Could you quote this in the text (just enough so I can \C-s to the right place)? I'm having a hard time finding this point in the rather large document.
It is worth doing a study, but the trouble is that you need to look at a long period of time (say 5 years) to really say anything. Also things are probably biased. If I got a $100M exist right now that would probably get in TechCrunch just because of the exit.

Kim-Mai Cutler does awesome long-form journalism at TC but the average article is poor in the area of technical analysis or is designed to produce outrage, like a recent post to the effect that "Boston Sux because they didn't get the olympics and they bring us failed companies like DEC and Wang and the people at the Media Lab are such posers and..."

To make matters slightly worse, the powerful, rich, well-connected as well as close to Palo Alto you are you can force TechCrunch to write a story about your product, even if the author is so clueless that main point of the article is "WTF?" (I've had it happen to people I work with)
Nope, but I think it would be cool to try and build one.
Wikipedia lists Apple as Clang's primary developer and Chris Lattner, the primary developer behind LLVM, is employed by Apple. I agree with you though, it's not Apple's compiler.

AVR. Not Arduino.

Starfighter is the successor to Microcorruption, a microcontroller-based memory corruption CTF.

We wrote Microcorruption to provide hands-on learning for memory corruption exploits.

We used microcontrollers instead of full-featured CPUs so we could (a) lose most of the irrelevant details of operating systems and (b) fit the whole memories of thousands of emulated CPUs into a single server process. We also liked the idea of leveling the playing field, so that pros with large libraries of X86 tools didn't have too much of an advantage.

Microcorruption used MSP430. We picked MSP430 because it's the simplest, most elegant MCU instruction set for which GCC support was trivial.

Starfighter uses AVR because we didn't want to use MSP430 twice, and AVR is the most popular MCU instruction set among hobbyists. It turns out AVR does other interesting things for a security CTF, because unlike MSP430, it's a Harvard architecture.

The AVR levels are intertwined with the trading levels, so that the objectives for the AVR levels are more interesting than those of Microcorruption. You won Microcorruption mostly by figuring out how to exploit simple memory corruption bugs. My hope is that Starfighter requires a bit more in-sim programming.
> I don't think it's called global warming anymore, it's called climate change.

Global warming and climate change are one in the same. "Global warming" became the rallying cry for so many environmentalist quacks citing bunk science - people like Al Gore were universally skewered in the mainstream media - that it was toxic from a PR perspective. So they came up with a new term. "Climate change" has the exact same beliefs, political backers, scientists, corporate interests, and studies behind it as "global warming". It's just a new name.

> I think we should start focusing on real solutions.

The issue is that there is no scientific evidence that solutions are possible. The earth has gone through many dramatic "climate change/global warming" events, and these last occurred long before cars or other man-made pollutants existed. It will go through them again, regardless of how many carbon taxes are levied by liberals or Tesla's are sold. It's just a reality - mankind will eventually cease to exist on this planet regardless of what it does or does not do.
Maybe you should have made clear in your post, then, that u is utility, not income. If u is utility and v is income, then v'(x)/v(x) ~ u'(x), more or less. Most measures of inequality involve dollar ratios, which seem to correspond to differences in utility, or at least to self-reported happiness.

Yes – HTTP/2 will show the greatest impact on any connection with high latency because you avoid the classic HTTP 1 behaviour where each request must finish before the next one can be issued.

If you have a low-latency connection close to the server you can easily find cases where HTTP/1 is still competitive – e.g. in this case using Akamai's demo with a 2ms ping time to their closest CDN node:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zo844ue7ehwg58/Screenshot%202015-...

(That's presumably due to the HTTPS setup – even with caching disabled, that page takes ~.8 seconds on a reload)

The catch, of course, is recognizing that this is not the case for most people and so even if we're personally not seeing a huge benefit on a fast computer in an office, it's still of huge benefit to anyone on a cellular network, flaky wifi, saturated ISP connection on another continent.
I mostly agree...but when I was a junior technical person I liked having a very technical manager. But once I'd learned my skills it was much easier to work with people who would let me do the things that I do well. So I'm glad to let them make the decisions for the sales, marketing, and business side - so that I don't have to.
With proper tracking it is not difficult to see different versions of packages installed. Checking run books/OPs logs would also lead to a quick understanding that Staging was updated and Production wasn't. Either of those two things would make it relatively easy to find the discrepancy in versions. Then, as they noted, a review of changelogs would have led to the patch they found.

If you don't have processes and documentation to quickly point out those kinds of differences between environments, you're doing something wrong.
The Future of Advertising
But has its significant limitations, notably that it takes a colossal machine and days to weeks to design, optimize, and machine a mold. Injection molding works great if you want to get to Pluto, but it'll cost you two years, a partnership with NASA, and a thousand tons of LH2 and LOX, and that cost remains constant even you just want to hit the supermarket. Current 3d printers can get you to the grocery store pretty well, but you're out of luck for anything bigger.

Carbon3d offers a new middle ground - fast enough and good enough for small production runs, but without the titanic constant-time overhead demanded by injection molding. This isn't going to be used for parts that you need ten million of. It'll be used for parts that you need a few hundred of.

Thanks for the pointer. Are you referring to Sections II C&D? Tables 4A and 4B seem like they would have the same categorization issue I described above.

This doesn't mean that the offender was never charged with a drug offense.

Same for me. I tried numerous times and couldn't get HTTP/2 to be faster than HTTP/1.1. I had one time where it was close, but the vast majority of the time its between 2x and 4x slower than HTTP/1.1.
I don't think it's fair to use the term slacking here. At worst they're people who focus on the wrong things and don't prioritize their resources optimally. Considering the number who burnout, they're likely working very hard, just not on the things that will matter in the end.

Crime is definitely less of a big deal now than it was during the freakout. The money question is, were deliberate criminal justice intervention the reason why crime dropped, or were extrinsic factors (like lead toxicity or family planning services or improved education)? If it's the latter, we need to reevaluate the resources we allocate to the criminal justice system. Maybe: fewer prosecutors, more judges.

There's a common joke among us multicopter pilots about DJI Phantom owners.

The majority (by quite a large margin) of these 'close calls' are caused by regular Joes buying a $1000 DJI Phantom and running it with the throttle all the way open to see how high they can go.

Sure, it makes for a cool shot with the camera, but it's wayyyyy far outside of the AMA and FAA guidelines of 400' altitude ceiling.

Personally, I'm glad that the FAA is documenting it. I just hope that the incredibly daft actions of a few don't ruin it for the rest of us.

Yes, a persistent lawyer will have to manage their income and outlays and we must consider the other side of the market.

As income rises so do outlays, outlays that can get tied up in ongoing obligations (mortgages, utility bills, car payments, telecommunications services, investment schedules, etc.). The supply side of the market (lawyers) quickly have incentives to be paid more for the same or less hours of work: so that they can support more outlays (kids, hobbies, greater projected retirement fund returns, etc).

Of course, clients can just take their money and cut off the inflow to lawyers as you suggest; it is a definite risk.

I have read Flash Boys but not the books written in response.

How do the other viewpoints explain why the IEX exchange was created and designed specifically to stop HFT? That is the central narrative of the book, and in Lewis's telling it makes complete sense as a way to save the common man from the evil HFT traders. But if Lewis got it all wrong and HFT is perfectly fine, why would a completely new exchange be set up to stop it?
It is already a reality and has been for some time.

Minnesota-based Protolabs.com has been making prototypes AND 'finished products' based on CAD/CAM files using CNC machining and plastic injection molding for more than a decade.

ProtoLabs has manufacturing sites in the US, UK, and Japan. Its customers can choose to have objects made from various resins, metals, and silicone rubber.

ProtoLabs purchased FineLine.com a year ago and now also offers 3D printing services.

I've done some consulting for Proto Labs.
Seems like there is a huge opportunity for 3d printing injection molds. It's probably more a tool chain question than an actual 3d printing question. But, by reducing the cost gap from mid-scale 3d printing to full scale production seems like a large potential net win. AKA, if the costs are similar at 10k and drop after that.

Not sure I agree.

The key difference is you need a carpenter to make chairs, but you need an engineer to make a chair factory.

You need a software developer to make software, but you need a software developer to make a software factory.

This also means there's a pyramid is place. The software devs have built a website builder? Okay, so the kids take over that part. But your website builder startup is now more successful. He needs to add some features, some big data, some better tools, advertisement. So he needs... more software developers.

Outside the website builder, other things are getting easier too. So people are building things on top of those things. Everyone's got a phone with GPS and internet now, and computing power is cheap, as is storage, so there's an Uber, there's an AirBnb, there's all sorts of things that are built on top of previously difficult things.

It's software developers all the way down.

One issue is gene diversity. Even if most parents are making ethical decisions, at some point there will be standard, best choices. But a species with a gene pool that is not diverse is more vulnerable.
The title is "Speed is a feature. Introduction to performance engineering."

However, the topic covered very little about performance. It asserts that scaling out is the primary way to get performance, but never shows that is true.

This is not a-typical for 'enterprise' systems, where the primary goal seems to be to spend money on physical things, than on paying people to be clever. (Which is different than hiring more people; it's hiring the right people).

I've had several clients where they had performance problems that they were thinking of solving by throwing more hardware at it, without doing the root cause analysis to figure out where the slow-down was. I've then gone in and found order of magnitude changes.

The author elsewhere says that enterprise software "Is scalable. Scalability is the ability to support both more customers and bigger customers. Your architecture does the right things if you can throw in more boxes."

This rejects the idea that good enterprise software can fast enough without needing to scale. Which I disagree with.
That's not a problem we're likely to face though. Beyond encoding a physical dependance on some facet or condition of a job, there's very little we can conceivably do genetically to lock someone into just one job. Learnable skills rather than raw genetic aptitude are the requirements for most jobs anyways.
That's a great question and since I brought up T-Mobile in the first place I went ahead and dug around a little via Google. It looks like no, they do not charge the providers so I guess this was a bad example on my part. They started the program with a few big names (Apple, Spotify, Pandora, more...) and then opened it up to others (Google Play, Rhapsody, more...). But it looks like the entry cost to providers is low/free and in this case T-Mobile is genuinely trying to add some value to the customer to compete against the giants in their space.

So IMHO opinion it's still Zero Rating but consumer friendly because it does not favor one music streaming service over another. I'm not trying to promote T-Mobile, just stating the facts as I see them. The cynical in me thinks that T-Mobile doing it without charging providers is to avoid any any competition legislation they are worried about running up against.
