Theoretically, yes. In practice there's been things like Dell having to issue 130W power adapters because the 95W ones weren't powerful enough. The XPS 16 runs too hot and can't use max GPU and CPU at the same time without sounding like a jet engine. The XPS 15 was nice but weighs a ton, and was also a funny shape to fit into a bag. Hinges fail regularly. Some sort of residue from the keyboard makes grid patterns on the screen if you leave it closed.

I'm now using an e7440 which is my favourite so far, but even that still has hopeless graphics (Intel HD 4400) that get the fan going crazy, and it also has the keyboard drawing patterns on the screen.
Even as of a year ago the major parts of Android, including the downloads application, didn't support SNI.
Climate change "denial" is a bit like arguing vehemently that bacteria doesn't exist and you don't need to bother about hygiene. Actually I don't really care if people believe, I just want them to wash their hands after using the toilet. People need to be persuaded that it is the right thing to do from a moral, and a practical point of view.

The environment is complicated and we need to be mature in how we interact with it. That means cutting CO2 but it also means a lot of other things that are very important. The endless debate on the science wastes time that could be better spent.
I think the answer to both of your questions is, technically nothing. Once you have built infrastructure and a base however those kinds of moves are very costly in time, effort and money.

And little stops a company overseas to do business in the US, right?

I think legally, no, but for better or worse, there are a ton of tools that are U.S. only - an example from today: Microsoft Hololens developer edition is available only to the US and Canada.
Why would you make all of your commit messages "1", instead of explaining what the added code does in each?

This was something that was tangentially addressed yesterday - the idea was that Perl 6 isn't meant to be a flavor of the week language, but something that could conceivably last for decades.

One interesting thing Larry mentioned related to that long term view was that due to Perl 6 being a multi paradigm language, it could potentially become the defacto teaching language in academia, because it fulfills the roles of OO, functional, procedural, and logic programming in a single package. Eventually, that new generation of Perl 6 learners would go on to form startups and create bigger and better things. I'm not sure if this will come to fruition, but I think it's certainly worth keeping an eye on.
There are some good videos[1] going through the mindset of setters as they set problems that I feel explains the concept super well.

Also, another crossover between technology and climbing that has been doing the rounds recently is this really interesting gamification of bouldering[2]. The guy uses a projector to put spots on a bouldering wall that the players have to hit. Fastest time wins.

Because design is not about making things pretty, but about making things attractive. Google is not changing their design just because. Behind the childish fonts, colorful interfaces and simple icons there is a careful thought about what Google believes it's the best way to present itself to its costumers.

How Google is, or more specifically, how Google wants people to think it is, it's implicitly present in every single design choice, even in a seemingly irrelevant one as the relative distribution of the logo's letters.
Sorry, I didn't meant to get focused on the actual causes of death.

My main point is that the numbers are not directly comparable, and that is misleading. The numbers are not measuring the same thing; all deaths are not equal.

It's quite logical to think murder is vastly more impactful than smoking deaths. For instance: with murder you have the burden of a police investigation, a court case, possibly many appeals, jail time for the convicted. Maybe even the death penalty (which is incredibly costly). You also have families torn apart by sudden and unexpected grief, as well as the families of those who go to prison now having that burden.

Deaths from smoke related disease are signalled a long way off. People have time to prepare, and adapt to the passing of their loved ones. There is definitely social cost, but I don't think it's irrational to expect it to be much lower than the social cost of a murder.

But even if deaths from smoking related disease are more impactful than murder, my point still stands: the two quantities are not directly comparable.
What you're paying for is live price data. The data delayed by a few minutes is available free.

It's not that complicated. The hard part is making sense of all that numeric information. There are a number of fixed-layout screens you can pull up to follow entire markets broadly, and those come up with one or two hot-key presses.
Then, there are standard analyses for individual ticker symbols. There's a news story system. There's a way to load up an Excel spreadsheet and run that, using live Bloomberg data. (Underneath, it's a Windows PC.) Those spreadsheets are typically pre-built by staff at trading firms, specialized for whatever they're doing. The number of keystrokes needed for most queries is very small.

One of the minor Bloomberg features is something like Craigslist, but for rich people. Yachts, rentals in the Hamptons, that sort of thing.

If you push the Help button twice, you get text chat to Bloomberg's help desk.

Both elements of your comment are highly astute.

>What exactly do you do in this situation? These two guys, along with the producer, were about the only people in the office that bothered to talk to me. If I stopped associating with them, I’d be completely alone in the place. If I asked them to stop, then I’d have shown weakness and they’d just have one more thing to dogpile on me for. If I put my foot down, I’d lose my Cool Girl status.

And why do you care about the "Cool Girl Status" anyway?

Either you really like those things you mentioned describing the "cool girl", in which case it's not some status, those things are indeed what you are and like, or you don't, in which case you shouldn't care about losing some BS title.

Besides, who said putting your foot down makes you uncool? It might make you even cooler.

The issue is seeing it as two camps (collective entities), males and females, and some kind of cultural war between them.

What is really is is a few guys being jerks.

I also think it usually is not like they are "sexist" as some special attribute -- they mention stuff related to a colleague being a woman just because those are attributes they can use (to make fun, gossip about, etc). If a male colleague was bad at sports, goofy, bald, big-nosed, some minority ethinicity, or whatever, they'd make fun of that too at some point or another.

And you know what? Women working at an office would too -- at another male collegue, but easily at another woman too. Women can also be (and are, as often as men) jerks to men colleagues and women colleages alike.

Just because we have a separate word at it as "sexism" we tend to think it's something extra special. But it's mostly another way of being a jerk (and/or being social/bonding/having fun in an aggressive way -- as men and women alike seldom think twice about it when they do it to others).

Currently in the process of separating several monolithic applications into services. We've found success in identifying individual "resources" that are present and common in each of the monoliths. Once identified, we implement that resource end-point in our service and swap out the existing code with calls to the service. Divide and conquer.
I was in Copenhagen last month for vacation. On a Saturday night, perfect weather and everyone in the city out looking for a good time - the banking system was down.

No joke, zero ATMs worked, zero CC machines worked, the entire country's electronic monetary system was completely shut down. Nobody in the country could do anything until they brought it back up 4 hours later.

Apparently this happened several times this year (including Valentines day, one of the biggest economic weekends of the year) with little press and no responsible party blamed.

Being a software dev, first I was lamenting the irony of a "secure" central banking system, then my mind went straight to how screwed I'd be if I wrote the code that brought that down. Now I have a little more perspective and don't feel any better.

But that's not how most people understand probability. Or science.

Remember, many deniers literally believe that climate change research is a hoax created by scientists to gain funding. A smaller but non-trivial percentage literally believe that NASA has a moon base and/or a mars base and access to free energy technology.

When faced with kookiness of that order, nuances of phrasing are politically irrelevant.

For deniers, argument by evidence is pointless, because many of them don't understand the scientific method anyway.

That's why they're deniers. If they were looking at the evidence objectively instead of cherry-picking it, or blanking it, or saying ill-informed things like "Another record cold winter - must be that global warming I keep hearing about, heh heh heh" they'd be as terrified of where we're going to be half a century from now as many climate scientists are.

All policy makers have left is argument by rhetoric - which isn't very scientific, but is more politically expedient.

We're not talking about individual investors, we're talking about institutional investors + banks with billions/trillions under management. They can't just sock that much money away in another bank. They have risk profiles that they need to construct. Some of these profiles undoubtedly call for low-risk, short-term assets. So they buy T-bills (even at a slight loss) to complete their portfolios which probably also contain a bunch of other assets.

I prefer the slightly closer kerning of the Goog in her version, however I much prefer the current kerning for the l.

Having said that, I don't think there's anything wrong with the current kerning. I actually suspect the wide spacing is more do with readability when scaled down more than anything else.

Most gyms have other setters agree on ratings. So it's not just Bob's opinion that matters, its multiple of the gyms setters opinions too. If Bob keeps setting problems that he says are v5 and are actually v3, the other setters will say so and the gym will take the groups agreed upon rating (at least thats how my gyms have done it). Sometimes the group can be wrong though, or the beta is super difficult and no one gets it so the climb feels grades above what was intended.

Disclaimer: I work with StackStorm. In the past, I built Opalis IIS aka Microsoft SC Orchestrator. Seen both sides.

StackStorm to legacy runbook automations is what chef/puppet to legacy config management. It's open source, infra as code, and respect devops tools and mindset. Some folks on our team are devops with field experience putting their learnings in.

Our key design principles:
1) infrastructure as code, which means: workflows, rules, action metadata, and other artifacts are readable, source-controllable code (yaml)

2) integrations are "easy", which means: use python, ruby or shell, or turn any existing script into action by adding yaml meta-data. If you did an integration with something like HP OO or MS SystemCenter you appreciate the difference.

3) yes, opensource. I think it's a deal breaker, especially when it comes to integrations.

That's our perspective, how do you guys see it?

Unless you've got superhuman eyes or sit really close to the screen, 4K @ 27" is "retina". If you were running Linux or Windows, you'd have a completely different set of trade-offs. You wouldn't have the super large elements of pixel-doubled 1080p, nor would you have the scaling problems inherent in choosing a different resolution. Instead you'd have to deal with incredibly tiny elements in those apps that aren't DPI-aware. But for the apps that are DPI-aware, you'd have a nice "retina" screen for substantially less than the $1700 you paid for the UP2715K (plus the money you have to pay for a rig capable of driving that monster).

I do think OSX made the right choice in how it chose to support "retina" displays, but you have to admit there are advantages to how Windows & Linux do it.

Bitcoin is already cheaper as a medium of exchange than credit cards and pretty much all international remittance providers.

Coinbase Exchange has a $0.01-$0.02 spread and charges 0.25% for removing liquidity.

Stripe costs 3% + $0.30 and Western Union / Wire Transfers are multiples of that.

I'm tired of seeing this argument. What they are putting at risk is the faith of investors who trade in USD and the belief that the US economy is robust and healthy.

Creating $ out of thin air also creates inflation within the financial system, benefitting debtor institutions and hurting creditors. It also sets a precedent that the Fed will simply push the magic money button whenever something goes wrong, which affects market behavior.

The Fed pays a price every time it takes any action - you just have to think harder about what that price is.
15 Most Read Data Science Articles in 2015. So Far …
Regular aikido student here--yeah, I'd agree. Better off learning to rabbit punch a throat or kick someone in the groin. But there are lots of reasons to train a martial art. I like aikido because it's mentally / kinesthetically taxing.

I've also trained in judo and danzan ryu jujitsu. DZR probably had the most immediately practical self defense (beyond groin / throat strikes). Judo is also a fantastic choice for self defense in that it shares aikido' removal of lethal / maming techniques, but unlike aikido has "shiai" or full intensity competitive fights. I'm not a very competition oriented person, but traditionally taught judo is, in my opinion, something of a local optima between traditional martial art, practical self defense, and solid fitness. That said, I get less banged up in aikido, which is nice in my mid-thirties :-)

Edit: I should also add that martial arts are a last resort option for self defense. If running or screaming or handing over your wallet could work, those are all better options. People get hurt in fights, especially if someone is armed.
Yes. Just some general points or examples.
I don't think so. We like to fight, and we're not particularly keen on losing. In the spirit of competition: bring it. -America
"privacy vs. progress of mankind - pick one"

For me, that's an easy decision: privacy. Every time. And twice on Sunday.

And here's the thing. I have as much objective basis for my position as you have for yours. In both cases, that is pretty much "nil".

And that cuts to the bottom of pretty much all political / ideological debates if you dig deep enough. At some point you simply come to a conflict in fundamental values and principles... a situation for which there is no real resolution.

>they are defined on source code level and can be freely used in different runtime components...

To me, components and services are two completely separate abstractions. A component is a collection of code -- a module -- that can be duplicated and used in numerous different systems (much like a 5 ohm resistor). Updating a module in one system doesn't affect any other external system. Services on the other hand I think of as multi-tenant systems that are used to provide common functionality that is likely to change.

There are many solutions - to the problem, not to getting folks to agree. That's probably impossible, I agree.

We have little privacy, and have had less every generation. Its a matter of social mores, at least for public/social interaction. Say I can find out who you're staying with at the no-tell motel every Thursday. If its taboo to mention it, then you still have 'privacy'. Its the same as, no polite person mentions the sounds coming through the bathroom door - folks all know, but pretend they don't. Lots of things work this way, already.
