Anything which loses immutability loses in my book. Once I get an email it's my own copy, and it never goes away. How I'm reading im2000, the sender can retract or change the message, because they have the copy. I guess if I marked every message as "keep a copy for me" as soon as I read it, it would be OK - hard to do that while not having to read spam just in case I want to keep a copy though.
This model only works if you give up on gaining tax revenue from rehabilitated inmates.
> There are no prisoners without there first being criminals.

Not necessarily true, but assuming it is true, the most likely future criminals are past criminals. There's no single group more likely to commit crime then those that are released from prison. It follows that one of our best returns on investment is reducing criminality in that group.
To confirm: If my server is ipv4 only, there is nothing special I need to add to my SPF record regarding ipv6 addresses, correct?
I can only be a sample size of one, but I've lived in countries where tipping is the norm and in countries where it's non-existent.

My own experience is that service is more average when tipping isn't an issue. That is it's always OK, or even good, but very rarely excellent or horrible.

Where tipping is the norm, there is more variability. In both directions - sometimes excellent but sometimes horrible. Ok and Good are still the more common, but there are more experiences in those extremes.

I'm not sure why this is.

I couldn't tell from this article if the studies discussed caught that (or could refute it). That is, they all talked about average tips and service, did they measure volatility.

Arguably not a politician, though.
It's so difficult when you're on a trajectory that you know will kill you yet you cannot change it because it feels like your entire being is so tainted and the sadness is so ingrained in your soul that your mind just tells you to isolate your miserable existence from those around you. I have struggled with this my entire adult life and I'm writing this with tears in my eyes because reading this beautiful piece is like unraveling my own future. Rest in peace, George. We all die alone, but no one deserves to die lonely.
Which raises an interesting quesiton - why don't we have Thunderbolt switches for our networks? The switch could convert to Ethernet, reducing the cost of servers and giving desktops lower cost access to higher speeds. Yes I know about the security issue but I'm referring to corporate or internal networks.
Blender is fine for me on a laptop but a trackpad is nearly unthinkable for 3d work so I hope that's not what you meant.
Perhaps. I think people who grew up with social media know it's a loose substitute for maintaining real friendships and relationships. You just won't get the same fulfillment looking at a 'friends' feed than actually reaching out to them directly (via technology or otherwise). Just like you call, email and text - many people do that (snapchat, whatsapp, etc).
I might create a dummy account, install this, and view the volume of likes it'd produce...
> There is always an exception to everything.

Unless there is minimum sentencing involved, which became popular in US during War On Drugs. That took a lot of discretion that judges had and turned decisions into absolute black and white type things.
New IPs are often old IPs that have been used for other purposes before, and often blacklisted. Especially IPs on easily spun-up and spun-down hosts like DO. On DO, after every VPS I've removed, and then started up another a week later, it has a different IP. It would be easy for a spammer/phisher/whoever to abuse this quick address re-allocation, but hurts regular users.
> Foucault argued that the point of prison is to create more crime though.

Add profits generated by the prison industrial complex and it actually starts making real economic sense to keep them coming back.
FYI, corrections was about $70b in 2006 versus just social security spending was about $550b.

You can get a subsidized housing, free food, free medical care, and direct deposit cash every month from the government, and you don't need to be a felon to do it. In fact, you must not be a felon to be eligible.
Competitive advantage is the reason for secrecy.
If it's all the same to you, it seems to me that everybody and their mother has a daily or bi-daily newsletter advertising things I don't care about. I think maybe 15 companies are responsible for the vast majority of mail arriving in my inbox, and I care for none of it. Marketing routinely mistakes quantity for quality, as if yelling your message louder is sufficient for mindshare.

I'm really glad that gmail sorts these emails into a place where I don't have to ignore them, because I used to flag them as spam whether or not I might have accidentally given consent 10 years ago by buying something once. It was making email as useful as physical mail(read: not at all).

Just because I bought something from you once does not mean we have a relationship, just as a one-night stand does not entitle you to ask me to help you move.
"The Farm: Angola" (documentary) has a scene where they mention the yearly profit figures and spendings, and logistics needed to feed the thousands of inmates. It's ridiculous.

Make a startup that provides a tool for designers to translate placing this image and its associated animations at these positions visually on a timeline that a non-programmer can adjust as needed.

Oh wait, none of you have ever been bothered to do that since the beginning of time. The fault must lie with the ad indusfry and not you.

>In the US I find there's often a notion of revenge

US is puritans. Revenge is one of the cornerstones of the puritan moral.
The quote is labeling a broad group of people with a polarizing issue.

That's prejudicial thinking that can't possibly be correct. And when the statement is made by a person who is opposed to the issue (views it as "wrong"), reasonably is taken as offensive whether the listener is for, against, or indifferent to the issue.

This blog post gives even better insight:

> Q: Hiring?
> A: One of our rules was, we don’t want to hire your friends. Another rule was not to hire people from “lesser” universities. Another rule was to only hire people with good GPAs. It was frustrating, but it meant that we ended up with a lot of really smart people from great universities, and that served us well.

I wonder what led to Google changing their minds and not considering the GPA as a part of hiring decisions.
The second part of your comment is an interesting perspective, I actually meant what you had in mind at first.
Mandela was at war with the govt of SA, so that's a complicated case.
That's still a simple thing to do with software. The cost of the device shouldn't go up because of that.
IMHO, no, I won't take the money, not because I'm religious person or something. I expect the person, whom I work with, at-least respect others.

As far as I'm concerned, funding is not just one way evaluation - where VC/Angel decide/determines whether to fund a startup or not based on founder's characters and technical/business abilities.The startup founder also needs to decide whether they think this money is legal or what's the background of this VC/angel who wants to invest.

Also note, taking stand like this might impact your business too! For example, what will do if you came to know customer is saying bad thing about religion ? Do you still want to take money from them?
A better politician could have withstood Blitzer better (or never have been in that position to begin with), but I thought that was a deplorable, overly-sharp public attack thinly-veiled as journalism. As the YouTube commentors point out, it fails most of the purposes of journalism. It's almost like Blitzer personally despises Chafee, or wants his "journalism" to take part in ousting Chafee. It was very unprofessional and abusive of his position. There were other ways he could have phrased it to actually produce something journalistically useful and appropriate.
Do you mean like two monkeys had hardcore monkey sex and the resulting baby was a human? Yeah... I don't know if I could respect their intellect. I don't think that's how the evidence for Evolution works...

I'm not entirely sure, but zooming closer to gear teeth interaction, it looks like cogs aren't aligning perfectly like they do in real life? I'm viewing this in firefox, so that might be a reason as well.
Maybe I just haven't hit the right combination of great nic and questionable CPU, but I've seen segmentation offloading result in weird/bad things on the wire, and when I turn it off, I don't see any difference in CPU, so I don't see the point of ever having it on. Specifically for transmit offloading, with dual xeon 2690s, doing https serving via 2x 10gbps nics.

Additionally, I've seen the effects of weird bugs with receive offloading in Linux routers as well: If packets get combined before forwarding, they can be dropped because of the mtu on the next hop interface, so the performance enhancement is actually decreasing performance (and since it's a middle box, I can't do anything except hope my packets don't arrive close enough in time to get aggregated)
As opposed to military killer-drones. Which goes back to upthread concerns. Military drones are remote-operated, not autonomous.

> The point is that bringing up children in poverty creates a worse outcome for society as a whole.

I see your point, but it’s important to note that the authors still haven’t established causation, but are planning a follow-up to do so. The authors aren’t making quite as strong of a claim as you’re making here -yet.
I do repect what you think. If you are right with item 1 then I will not lose anything. If we drop a blank Iphone under the soil the propability of it's coming out with ios9 is same as propability of item 1 for me, just to influence you; think about the same thing for a human DNA. For me I am rich when I do live according to what I do beleive.
DDoS attacks are malicious events that disrupt service. In almost 100% of cases, scrapers don't want to disrupt service, because they need the data they're scraping. They want to be able to continue to get it, so they won't do things that may harm their ability to do that (including presenting honest IPs and user agents).

Services like this one actually make scraper-related unavailability, which IMO is already greatly exaggerated, less likely, since there will be fewer amateurs trying to write their own bots and accidentally breaking things.

To the extent that a scraper harms the other business, the scraping company can be held civilly liable on several accounts without specifically bringing scraping as a practice into the picture. All that matters is that they damaged the target site's ability to operate, not that they were saving [portions of] the pages (that'd be a separate copyright claim, unrelated to the disruption of service).
You may be right in theory but way off in practice. MS for example accepts the emails and dumps them. It does not even make it to users' spam folders. So they don't know and we don't know. We only send emails that customers pay us to receive yet email no longer works. This is not how internet supposed to work.
Spam is a major problem and as it is often the case the defensive measures cause just as much, if not more, problems.
I violated 3 years felony probation late last year here in Florida and was picked up on the warrant on May 18th.

The original charges were possession charges from about 5 years ago, and I only had 6 months to go when I was violated for working out-of-county (I had to go where the contract was). It was a simple "technical" violation so I figured I would be ok.

I was not. I was sentenced to 15 months in prison for some reason that no one could explain. I didn't even "score" prison time, yet my crap public defender just sacrificed me to the state prosecutors.

Thank goodness I had 13 months credit time served, so I only had to do like 51 days "up the road". Florida D.O.C decided to make it hard on me for whatever reason, and sent me back to Gulf C.I. Annex in the panhandle, some 9 hours from my home.

I was first assigned to a "T-dorm" where approx 80% of my fellow inmates were serving life sentences. Yes, you heard correctly...they made me, with my little 51 days, live in that particularly dangerous environment.

Needless to say, I avoided talking about my release date.

There are absolutely no programs at Gulf C.I. I am 100% convinced that the entire system is designed to create recidivism, not prevent it. The C.O's smuggled in K2 and it seemed everyone was smoking that shit constantly.

It was easier to get drugs then it was to get a book to read.

I was released on the 7th with no phone, money, and prison issued clothes. I had to stay in shelters for 2 nights until I finally made it back to central Florida.

I am in the process of writing a blog post about the entire incredible experience, but the tl;dr version of it is that the system is a sledge hammer and every problem is a block of concrete to be smashed to dust and swept away.
The benchmarking I had done had the [non-offloaded] bandwidth peak out around 2.5-3Gbit/s. Could have been trouble with the drivers, or a naive implementation, or any of a number of things. Didn't dig into it too deeply at the time as the offloading drivers worked fine.
You can have large queue sizes (larger than RAM size) and siberite would still consume small amount of resident memory. You basically don't need a separate server with decent amount of memory for it. You can also can get benefit from two-phase reliable fetch - if your client gets disconnected without confirming a message, the message will be served to another client (very convenient if you use amazon spot instances for your workers).
When it comes to an entire course, that's few. If you took the whole school day it would be 2-3 days. It's barely anything.

Revenge is not what it is its retribution. Especially down in the South and out West in places. In Georgia you can get sentenced to hard labor and in the resent past to a chain gang. A lot of it has religious roots but many laws do too.

Recidivism is the biggest problem especially when something like 75% of inmates will be arrested again within 5 years.
That makes no sense, unless your software guys work for free. The cost of software development has to be paid for out of the price of the devices. Aviation is a very limited market, so you don't have a lot of sales to amortize those costs.
That's as simplistic as saying Australia is a bunch of criminals.

I think what happened is these are notes some person took during a class in which Eric Schmidt was being interviewed. So the questions and answers are whatever the notetaker was able to get down in real time. The entire content likely paraphrases only the most salient things being said.

Or maybe they would have been scared completely senseless seeing tons of steel being piloted by an idiot with no training at speeds they didn't even know were possible for humans to achieve.

Either way, I couldn't care less about what people who died 200+ years ago would have thought about cars, except in an abstract "wouldn't it be cool to show George Washington a modern car and see how he reacts" sort of way.
One reason to use (potentially) Ravi over LuaJIT is that LJ has a 2GB memory limitation.
Not all countries have the firepower that the US has. America can make demands that others can't. I am not well versed on this aspect of the issue and can't say what did or did not happen, but your argument does not reflect the reality of our unique ability to influence others. For this reason, your argument that just because Air Force 1 would not submit to requests / demands by independent nations has little basis here.
It's not clear at all that 1 Twitter MAU = 1 Pinterest MAU. The really hardcore Twitter users spend all day on Twitter (@pmarca comes to mind, it seems Twitter is his full time job). I'm not sure the same is the case for Pinterest (although this might just be my ignorance of Pinterest speaking). So maybe Twitter gets more money out of each MAU because the users spend more time on the site. But maybe a Pinterest MAU is worth more - I don't know. Intuitively it feels more susceptible to "native" advertising - my little impression of Pinterest is that it consists of lots of curated glossy photos scrolling by of aspirational consumerist things. Seems very monetizable.

In any case, in order to apply your logic, the epistemic burden is on you to show that a Pinterest MAU should be financially treated the same as a Twitter MAU. I don't see that as being straightforward at all.
So this material was valuable enough to blog, but not valuable enough to proofread? I don't follow that logic. I can't imagine posting writing or an interview that hasn't been proofed. I think an interview with Schmidt would demand at least a first-pass edit.
You don't actually know any poor people, do you.
You have my respect too. Good point for customer side of things.I will research more about that, all I can say is if somebody dont want to buy something from me or want to return because of my religion then i would let them to do so after trying to convince them why they are wrong about my religion if they listen for sure.

The argument that all a kid needs to turn out OK is money is absurd, and yet, it seems to be a cornerstone in Millennial thinking. We do everyone a disservice when we pretend that all of our problems stem from not giving everyone free money. Maybe we are too far removed from the Soviet era for the whippersnappers to understand how very not-well these strategies turned out 30+ years ago. Stop worshipping money.

Correlation is not causation. What, pray tell, is the direct link that causes a child's brain size to increase in relation to the parents' bank account? Perhaps the reason wealthier children are healthier is because their parents have discipline and work hard to provide a safe, healthy, stimulating environment for their children, which includes retaining steady gainful employment and using the proceeds from that employment to provide food, shelter, and education for the children. This will not magically happen among poor children if you give the parents some baseline income.

I'm not speaking in absolute terms; there is definitely some crossover with good parents who are down on their luck and bad parents who have way too much money. But boiling the problem down to "give poor people more money to fix kids' brain structures" is too lazy, and preaching this about like it's some fundamental righteous principle is highly distasteful.
I believe this was done after taking a look at GPA and post-hiring performance at Google. This was not mentioned in the OP, but I guess they realized that there wasn't any or, maybe in certain positions (non-research/entry devs/etc), a negative correlation between the GPA and performance.
