It's a neat idea, however, I think this sort of an effort can more effective if open sourced. In fact, it's probably better you open-source it before someone else comes along and does it. To clarify, I am not talking about the UX but only the lists themselves.

If you do go this route, my 2 cents are two keep it JSON formatted and maybe add a severity flag to each word for words like "git" which aren't so bad if you product is targeting non-english audiences while words like "fuck" are really bad irrespective of the audience you are targeting. Taken in conjunction with the population size of the language, this could generate a good score for word safety.

Relocatable engineering department component.
The original CGA/EGA/VGA text modes had a hardware cursor blinking option; I find blinking cursors useful, so it'd be interesting if modern GPUs added a low-power animation loop feature.
He already said "Second, the fact that I disagree with the title has nothing to do with my opinion of the story."

Why do you keep accusing him of dismissing the importance of the story? If he takes a moment to let you know that he was outraged, then may he comment on the fact that he thinks "it's poor practice to include the race, sexual orientation, or religion" if it's not directly relevant to the story?
Hi thanks! This is really great! It would make me more careful to choose a name, and yes, naming is hard :))

This can be seen exceptionally when watching videos where some implementations prefer Flash. I often fall asleep to documentaries (maybe not a typical use case) and I've seen massive gains in battery life using Safari (using HTML5 video) vs. Chrome (using Flash). Granted, this isn't a fair comparison as one is using a "native" implementation and one is using Flash. But I've seen something like 250% gain in battery life – which sometimes means the difference between seeing the ending and not.

It's interesting watching one's projected battery life climb from 40m to 1h 40m simply by swapping one application for another. However, it's unfortunate some websites prefer Flash-based implementations over their native counterparts. Although this trend seems to be shifting in favor of those that are native. And I assume the smart folks at Google are taking note. YouTube, for example, has done a particularly spectacular job at adding AirPlay functionality to their HTML5 player.

Well I hope you never get lead poisoning and want to liquidate your settlement and a judge doesn't let you because she thinks you're too dumb to understand the deal. Also, this isnt a Maryland internet forum so the article's only relevance is in the abstract. Maybe check what forum you're on before commenting.
I like this. Thank you!

S3QL has a lot of great features. You are right that support for concurrent mounts is one of the main differences. ObjectiveFS also keeps the file system data consistent and stores it in S3 asap, for sharing and to handle EC2 unexpected termination. S3QL uploads all metadata changes at a regular interval (by default every 24h) or during unmount.
The headline intentionally conceals key information, and uses the word "how" a tease to bait the reader. This is clickbait 101. A journalistic headline would be:

"Swindlers take poor brain-damage victims' lead-poisoning compensation"
Yes, that is a very good point. Are there any contingency contracts for these class action suits where the lawyers agree to a fixed percentage of the settlement, which would hopefully leave a decent amount for the victims?

Perhaps there can be a "bidding" system if the victims can self organize and then look for a law firm to represent them -- kind of like how architecture firms win contracts?

India can make generic versions of old drugs. For people who can't afford 1USD a day, having access to bleeding edge medicine isn't going to make as much of a difference as having access to nurses and penicillin. edit: and sanitation, and health education, and so on.

No, the Phi is a P6 core, but so is all the modern Core family CPUs.

> What are you looking to do? Provision these services once and then leave them or are they something you want to be able to auto-scale?

Lately I've been doing Leader Election and Service Discovery with ZooKeeper. I've really appreciated the excellent documentation and thoroughness of the best-practices information.

> ...It also feels much "heavier" compared to etcd in my opinion.

Agreed 100% there. ZK also imposes some [rather harsh] limitations - e.g. 1MB max response packet size. Not sure how this compares to the limits of etcd or Consul.

> Have you looked at consul by chance? We actually ended up using it as it seemed to be a good fit between stability, ease of use and maintainability.

This is not the first time I've seen Consul mentioned. I'll definitely add it to my list of possible future fits :)

The operability of ZooKeeper seems unparalleled, likely [largely] due to being the most mature OSS solution in existence for this domain.

I don't have time to do more detailed analysis but, from the article, "In 2052, ...Rose would be approaching her 60s." So lets assume that Rose would be exactly 60 in 2052. So she was born in 1992.

According to projections (http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2011/tables/11s0103.p...), a black woman who was 15 in 2007 would be expected to live to 63. So there is a significant risk that Rose would not live to the end of her payout period. But if the expected payout is >>18% of the present value of her payments (which it almost certainly is) then she got a bad deal.

Someone with time could use the annual mortality probabilities (http://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html) to calculate the expected payout. I'm bad at analysis so I'd probably use a Monte Carlo simulation.

Not necessarily... In any business there's such a thing as "headline risk," distinct from legal or compliance risk. It's where the mere perception of wrongdoing can be almost as damaging to your business as actual wrongdoing/noncompliance; anything can be spun as sinister by an unsympathetic press. So to mitigate headline risk you might actually make your compliance controls much stronger than legally necessary. I think Borkowski is trying to say something like his business is fundamentally honest, but the reporter has raised some serious points of possible misperception about it, and they're going to make some compliance changes to clarify themselves against possible misperceptions of wrongdoing.

Of course it's kind of too late if you're finding out about your headline risk from a reporter. And not to defend these bozos.
Well put. The title of the original article is unnecessarily confusing and probably purposely made so for ironic effect.
I think it's a useful rhetorical device and I'm not really so confident anything will be done.

Acquisition costs are an interesting discussion in themselves. GoPro will have a big number partially because they are marketing-heavy. If you're not (yet) aspiring to be a world-beater, there are plenty of scrappy ways to acquire customers.

Kickstarter, obviously, is a big one. Never mind what people say about needing your own audience - yes, but you gotta start somewhere, and if you've got the message, Kickstarter's got the soapbox.

Another is simply being media-saavy. The press has to write about something, so don't forget that they need you, too. But you have to learn how to pitch stories.
It's fun that wave-function reduction is "an additional hypothesis layered on top of the equations, conveniently formulated in a way that wouldn't falsify any experiment", while infinities of universes that have "ceased to interact" is not.

What you are describing is an engineering answer, not a legal perspective.

As the Supreme Court made clear in the aero case, intent and impact is far more important than technical details about transmission.
re: abstract discussions - you're right, of course. But "net present value with a twist" wasn't the title of this article, and I suspect it's not why it was voted to the top.

re: my hypothetical lead poisoning woes - I would want an effective, truly independent advisor to explain the deal. I would want a requirement that I show up in court, and that the judge verify that I exist, and am capable of making decisions. These aren't tall legal barriers - they are the law in many other states. This article exposes some weaknesses of the Maryland regulatory regime.
I figured this would be about the size of things. I suppose I'll start with a VM. I realized I mentioned Chromebooks in my first post -- reminder to anyone that ARM is not supported, so get an Intel-based model.

I cashed out all of my bitcoin holdings during the boom times so I can't speak for anything past October of 2013, but I believe Gox was still cashing out to USD until mid December or so(?) and Yen for a few weeks past that.

Honestly, anybody that left USD or BTC funds in Gox wallets for longer than a day deserved to lose them at that point in time. All the reasons were known then just as they are now-- if you don't personally hold and secure the private key, you don't actually own bitcoin. If you can't handle securing it (both from theft and loss) you shouldn't participate in the market as a speculator.

Wakeups are a bit tricky to actively measure, because with the Power Nap feature, the actual # of wakeups triggered by a particular application is a bit trickier to measure and varies based on what other activities are going on the system.

In general, from the get go, it is a bit of a myth that you can really know how much of a power budget is a consequence of a particular application. You can get a rough sense of relative impact on the overall power budget, but even that can be seriously skewed by a LOT of factors. At best, you can get a sense of, "if I sampled at the moment power stores hit a multiple of X, how often would I see the system doing something on behalf of each app that was draining power at that moment". Even that, is bloody hard to pull off, but it is your best "rough" approximation of what is going on.
I commented in another similar post but it seems to be lost...

My friend did 438 miles with his P85 by drafting behind a semi the entire trip. With the extra range (efficiency!) of the P85D I'm certain he could have hit 500, easy. I don't recall how many Wh/mile he was doing but it was crazy low.

I'm not sure why he hasn't been contacted about his drive, but Tesla does have the data and he's asked a couple engineers to look up his car and confirm. :-)
In high school I was prodded to get a job, so I looked in the paper, applied for a bunch of things, and eventually got one. It was a company that did telephone fundraising for charities, which at 17 seemed ok by me.

Very gradually I learned that it was run by scoundrels, and that only about 15% of the money raised actually made it to the charity in question. The work was awful, but I stuck with it because that's what you do with jobs. It was the realization that I was basically helping scam artists take money from big-hearted, too-trusting people that got me to quit.

Conscience isn't some fixed thing; it's a skill you learn, a habit of ongoing evaluation. If I can wake just one of these people up so that they, like me, go and get a job that isn't net harmful to society, I'll consider my time well spent.

AHHHH!!!! Don't recommend doing that. Only those who are crazy do that. Imagine waking up in the morning and your SCM system is broken due to an update that was automatically applied - I wouldn't want a sysadmin (or developer) to see that before their first cup of coffee.

When you update - does it automatically apply migrations or other database upgrades that might be necessary?
Work with MS Word and Apache OpenOffice Docs Using Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for PHP
Not really, no. A microkernel can be a self-reliant, real-time, event driven OS which can be embedded in any number of specific appliances with a specific skillset for a specific job.

A hypervisor is generally used as a way to run another bloated OS on top of a microkernel. Even if you were to run with the idea of containers directly on top of a hypervisor, you're still looking at more layers of indirection that are meant to generalise the use of the entire stack.

Microkernel = specific.

Hypervisor = microkernel with specific purpose of running general stacks on top.

That's how I would distinguish the two in this instance.

"Spamford" Wallace has a slight history, including multiple instances of recidivism after former spamming episodes dating to 1991.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_Wallace

In the late 1990s, his company, Cyber Promotions, aka Cyberpromo, was widely blacklisted as a source of unsolicited email. Wallace's high-profile pro-spam stance and unrepentant persistence earned him the derisive nickname 'Spamford'.

Prior to his email spam ventures, Wallace had gained notoriety in other questionable marketing circles, as a heavy utilizer of junk fax marketing, a practice outlawed in the United States since 1991.[2]

In 1995, Wallace formed Cyber Promotions, entering the spam market. Thanks to a self-marketing campaign, Cyberpromo rapidly became the most successful seller of email marketing—as well as the number one source of unsolicited email. After Cyberpromo failed to become a legitimate business, Wallace returned to junk faxing in late 1997.[2]

And this, kids, is how a Spanish hater looks like.

If anyone is interested, Catalan[1] is a Latin language spoken in Catalonia and other areas of the North East of Spain, South of France and a city in Italy. It is also the official language of a country: Andorra.

It has about 10 million speakers[2], a bit more that Swedish, that is an official working language in the EU.

Its use has been forbidden in Spain during 300 years[3] -until the death of the Spanish fascist dictator Francisco Franco- but, even though it has managed to survive until today.

And there's a top level domain, .cat[4], that is intended for websites that use Catalan language.

Also, and we don't use Catalan because we are doing political experiments, or to annoy Spanish people. We use it because, for some of us, is our native language!

Inside the Fight Over Bitcoin’s Future
Depends on the context. If random people ask, I usually say "I'm a consultant" and then if they ask "what kind of consultant" I explain that I specialize in big-data / data-warehousing / data-mining and the like. Sometimes I'll volunteer that I'm working on a software startup.

But in a different context, like at a startup related event, I'll identify as "Founder" and/or "CEO".

If the person asking is really obviously not technical, I may give a generic "I'm an IT guy" or something.

Personally, I see myself as a guy who likes exploring new technology and ways to apply technology to solve problems. If I had to give myself a title, I'd say "problem solver" or "troubleshooter". shrug
