"First, there will be disruption of the entire fossil-fuel industry, starting with utility companies — which will face declining demand and then bankruptcy. Several of them see the writing on the wall. The smart ones are embracing solar and wind power. Others are lobbying to stop the progress of solar power — at all costs."

And so, the fight begins... A repeat of what happened when Edison fought the gas lighting companies.

It may be that the only way to win against the utility companies is to go completely off-grid. Their lobbying will be intense as their livelihood is at stake.

Sounds more like a crappy setup than a problem with uWSGI itself. I know it has a steep learning curve.

I know that it takes time and effort to change out software pieces that have a long history within an organization (I have some experience in that department) even when a clear and technically superior alternative is available.

I have a drawing of my favorite infrastructure that solves a ton of problems before I code one line of anything.

nginx -> uWSGI -> Python(Django) -> Celery(via RabbitMQ) -> Postgres

It's a bit more complicated than this and redis is missing but it's a nice linear representation of how I like to structure things. The only thing there not lightning-fast is Django but it doesn't need to be. I'm spending most of my time in the other pieces of software.

The author of that article says "I know from personal experience that today [2005] Microsoft takes application compatibility very seriously".

And if you want to install Windows on a computer that already has a Linux distribution installed (dual-boot), then Windows will replace the existing boot manager, making it really difficult to boot Linux. That thing used to happen then, and it still happens now (2015).

>It doesn't matter if it is wrong, it is still the simplest explanation to Schrödinger's Cat.

No, it's the simplest explanation to "we have a cat in the box, and a poison released optionally, is the cat dead or alive" question.

Which is different than the actual question posed by the experiment, where "optionally" depends on a very specific and non intuitive process.

So it's an answer all right, and simple too, but not the question proposed, as it fails to take into account everything asked.
Thanks. Is there a document / blog post that tells exactly what the baggage and addressing modes were? I've heard the problem but never found the actual specifics.
The banking system is as important a target as the government.

The paper stipulates that QC might be ~15 years out.

It is the case that if QC is 15 years out, then even though there's no immediate danger to ECC and RSA, the switch needs to happen soon, because there are secrets that have more longevity than that.

Apart from "the banking system is important", that's not conjecture; it's just simple logic applied to the paper.
I do pretty much the exact same thing, but with Mesos[1], Aurora[2], and Aurproxy[3] (which is nginx).

@bhauer, I agree.
My point is: give the user the opportunity to decide how much effort to put in the process.
In a digital environment, this means giving her millions of alternatives, but helping her to prune them based on some principles that derive from the cognitive sciences.
For instance, the faceted navigation allows the consumer to eliminate the alternatives she is not interested in. This is the B consumer, who knows what is important for her (e.g. "a 256GB SSD and 16GB ram").
If you are the consumer C (and everybody of us is in such situation when we have to buy something and we are not expert at all) can be helped using the best sellers (see Amazon.com), the suggested for you, the ratings of other consumers, and so on.
In a physical environment, however, you can not filter, and cutting the less selling products helps the majority of customers in the decision making effort, even if this means giving less choice.
This article is quoting "CDN experts", in other words people with a financial interest in CDNs.

It's not in their interests to point out how the proliferation of CDNs results in centralisation of the internet and hence makes them tempting targets. Or how it gives a few companies the power to effectively shut out certain groups of users from large parts of the web (like CloudFlare did to Tor users a while back).

It's really disappointing to me to see the CDNs swallow the web whole. But at the same time I understand it, it's not really possible to protect against DDoS attacks for example without that kind of scale.

Of course it can. The two platforms you listed can both faithfully emulate an entire computer, upon which you can build your C runtime.

Now, if what you really meant was more along the lines of "can I faithfully cross-compile C to Java bytecode", the answer would be "not without a layer of abstraction".

It is likely that almost all significant attainment comes from (crucially depends upon) individuals (not on groups, not on institutions) - but the fact may be disguised because the products of creative genius can so easily be exploited by others: indeed that is their very value.

The breakthroughs made by a matter of some hundreds of men genetically-originating in Western and Central Europe over the past several centuries have affected every person in the whole world.

*

The exploitation may be so rapid that the name and even the existence of the genius has often been lost to history, or never known.

While it may take a one in ten thousand persons to make a breakthrough; the ability to recognize and use the breakthrough may be much commoner - one in a hundred, even one in ten...

It is easy to create content now, so yes, there is a proliferation of low-quality content.

That in no way implies that high quality content has been pushed out. There's still great literature, music, and yes even online content that is as great as or greater than anything created 200 years ago. Let the noise not mislead you into thinking that there is no signal behind it.

Those who seek good content will still find it. Keep in mind that all these improvements in the medium have made content accessible to a much larger section of society than was possible a few hundred years ago, so society as a whole is better read, better educated, and more aware than this good old world of yore.

It depends on the cost you would assign to an event. I would sometimes on small code changes just deploy directly and touch-reload the app but I was very reluctant to deviate from protocol given experience. In the mad days before my protocol I once had the site in burning/extinguishing/reigniting cycle for 4 hours. The reason it took so long to figure out what was wrong was that the problematic code was live for 10 days in a section that had to run on each request without a problem. To this day I couldn't tell you why it suddenly started to act up. 4 hours of "House is on FIRE!" will make you cautious.

“Why the German Startup Scene Isn’t Doomed”
My reasonings are:

* I'm paying for ad-free (in this hypothetical - I'm actually content with the above post mentioning that they clearly tell which shows are exceptions in advance), so yes, ads bother me.

* Why do ads bother me? It's a combination of: ads tend to pander to the lowest elements of the psyche/society; ads are explicitly manipulative - I don't enjoy exposing myself to manipulative people, why seek out or even tolerate this sort of exposure?; ads are disruptive to the experience I'm trying to have (pacing/tone/subject matter); ads consume time, something I have a limited capacity of.

* I stopped watching cable TV in college (some 15-20 years ago), and I immediately found I felt "smarter", more focused, with more available time, and (as a con) less in touch with the common zeitgeist (an experience somewhat similar to not following facebook or twitter today). This, despite the fact that I still "wasted" plenty of time watching movies and shows. As Netflix became prevalent (first in DVD, then in streaming) I found I could remain entertained without exposure to ads.

As I relied on the web for more news/entertainment, I found that ad blockers vastly improved the experience. Perhaps I've been oversensitized to the topic, but I usually find I'm more than willing to pay to get my experience ad-free, as the experience is just better then.

I've been frustrated at things like Huluplus and Youtube where I previously didn't have an ad-free option, despite my willingness to pay for such, so I have little doubt that frustration combines with the earlier sensitivity to make me more bullheaded on the topic.

I knew a person from my previous laboratory who left academia to work on some secret GoogleX project. "Superstar" fits their bill, to be sure. Coldest person I've ever met, but whatever. Exceptional scientist.

My hunch is that Google has a oncology/immunology platform which they're not talking about but trying to actively develop in order to help fuel Calico's pipeline and maybe sell off some other generated IP. There's almost certainly a "big data" angle as well, potentially describing the polymorphisms in majorhistocompatability (MHC) molecules between people. Having a large dataset of this kind of information would provide a lot of predictive power for infectious disease resistance and also disease progression.

Google is new to this space and enjoys young talent, so I can tell that their approach will be to hire the people graduating from the top biomedical PhD programs. This is a hiring market that they can easily dominate by offering salaries of 50k-90k, though they may bump this range up to ensure loyalty. Nobody else will offer a better game in town to fresh PhDs in the current (extremely hostile benefits-wise) science employment environment. Google gets in on the ground level, and the fresh PhDs avoid wasting 5 years on their postdoc-ing. Once the platform is established using the young talent, Google will spend a lot of money bringing in older mid-level people from prestigious organizations to mainstream-ize development and provide more credibility.

While dreadlocks aren't literally a black-exclusive hairstyle, that's very clearly the standard in popular US culture.

It's important to remember that people with afro-textured hair have an extremely short list of what could be considered even moderately 'low effort' hairstyles. Of these, most of them are considered to be black haristyles.

You've mostly got afros, cornrows, braids, twists/twist outs, dreads, and a bunch of super-short cuts. That's a pretty short and inflexible list, and a few of those aren't what you'd usually see on guys. Most styles you see are combinations of the above, a product of (expensive and really bad-for-your-hair) chemical and heat treatments, or simply artificial (!).

As a property of being considered black hairstyles, dreads/box braids/cornrows are often considered unprofessional. Lots of people will call them 'ghetto' and you'll probably get comments when wearing them for events/school/whatever if you're not in a very black community. Dreads in particular get criticized for being 'dirty' (though this is not an exclusively black phenomenon).

Hair can be an incredible sore spot for black people. Black girls spend a huge amount of time and effort trying to make their hair look 'acceptable' (aka white) because mainstream culture tells them their hair, isn't and can't be beautiful. Black people are often verbally and physically harassed on the street by white people who think it's a novelty. It's not possible to honestly talk about perceived 'cultural appropriation' without acknowledging the power dynamics there.

When dreads are one of the few ways to manage your hair that don't involve a lot of hair-pulling and time, it's really obnoxious to see white celebs get praised for them when you can't even go through any predominantly white area with ANY black hairstyle without getting unwanted comments, hair touching/pulling, whatever. It just comes off as arrogant white tourism.

I don't see why the two are mutually exclusive. In the article you linked, the husband is right for making it clear that it is Sandy's problem, the doctor is also right for recommending medical treatment, and Sandy is right for seeking the doctor for help solving her problem.

What isn't right is things such as the doctor telling Sandy that obesity is "primary genetic". Even if the statement is scientifically correct in a narrow context, it functions to absolve Sandy of responsibility for solving her own problem - whether it be by dieting, seeing additional doctors, exercising, or all of the above. Heck, telling her husband "I am fine with my weight" is in this same category of self-actualization, although she must accept others' inevitable reactions.

As for my comment, I certainly wasn't meaning to advocate "personal responsibility" in the sense of "let them suffer". In aggregate, addiction should be addressed as a public health problem. But that doesn't mean we should absolve the individuals of responsibility for their own actions because their brain has been chemically altered. This is what I was getting at, because that junk reasoning is used to justify inebriated behavior as nobody's fault, which is then used to justify a sweeping bans on altering one's mental state.

I don't like Clojure or ClojureScript. They are both awful by virtue of the platform they exist on. I would like very much if Clojure had a core lisp KLambda, because I could abstract Clojure onto a platform that wasn't terrible.

Rich is a guy who (whether consciously or otherwise) hated writing Java and decided that functional programming worked, and that Lisp did too. Clojure is a strange abomination from the points of view of those in the pure-functional family, and those from the paren-dimension, but I find that Clojure code reads easily, and comes off far more expressive than that of Python or Ruby or other so-called expressive languages.

When someone who uses the JVM tells me that something I know to be true is 'fundamentally flawed' I become fearful for myself, that I might drown in irony.
