Glacier has a very clear use case, to my mind.

It is useful for keeping archives of massive data you're unlikely to ever need, but legally obliged to keep around, or just want to have available for a very improbable later examination. Think some huge transaction logs of two years back.

For a case like this, you don't need fast retrieval, and mostly you don't need retrieval at all. You plan ahead to only ever retrieve a small percent of these data. The rest will be silently discarded when retention period has expired.

If your use case is not like that, Glacier probably makes little sense for you.

This is totally not a backup which you likely keep in order to restore the entire state from as soon as possible.
> This is a friendly reminder that the United States have sponsored ISIS when they were still considered freedom fighters against Assad.

Not really. United States sponsored other opponents to Assad, which were then sufficiently marginalized as to be either annihilated or convert to Daesh, but they clearly weren't Daesh at the time.

The author was challenging the technical competency of the author using Ars as a comparison. While Ars is involved in a journalistic race race to the bottom (someone used a drone/need a ghostbusters movie with 4 women in it/etc), their technical articles are very good.
I think it's a weak comparison to criticise 1 article and dismiss all others.
I've tried to deposit cash into my brother's bank account (in LA) to which I was denied due to money laundering law and "Mexican cartels". It was only $200-$300. Perhaps they thought I was part of a cartel due to my freckled white skin.
If AIs are not able to communicate we us properly then those are programs but not real AIs. I didn't find any interesting idea here and the sheer act of proposing that program as a language for AI is really humorist to say the least. People are using R and Python to construct a solid foundation for machine learning, the NLP and the IA will evolve to communicate with us by its own means, that's the real AI.
Useless for people, but I wonder what the environmental impact is of putting solar powered panels everywhere so we can satisfy our CandyCrush addictions.

I get this is an emotional response and somewhere 3/4th in, it turns into drivel with Texas women and such. I do believe violence begets more violence. Further I believe the complexity is something akin to the butterfly effect where doing something can cascade into something big in half a century. Take for example the drone strikes. The kids who manage to live through it would have have pent-up animosity towards the west when they hit teenage.

What we are seeing is just the result of some bad foreign policy.

Saudi Arabia is also the biggest exporter of Radical Islam

" Indian intelligence says that in India alone, from 2011 to 2013, some 25,000 Saudi clerics arrived bearing more than $250 million to build mosques and universities and hold seminars. "We are talking about thousands and thousands of activist organizations and preachers who are in the Saudi sphere of influence," said Usama Hasan, a researcher in Islamic studies.

These institutions and clerics preach the specifically Saudi version of Sunni Islam, the extreme fundamentalist strain known as Wahhabism or Salafism."

> the government in power currently in Iran deposed the government that the US set up

The U.S. did not 'set up' the Shah; he was the legitimate ruler of Persia. Nor did the U.S. overthrow a 'democratically-elected leader'; the Shah's legitimate government successfully defeated a coup attempt by his prime minister Mossadegh, who died peacefully under house arrest years later.
The major problem I have with this opinion piece is not the perspective, but the writer - Kamel Daoud. One of his major influences is a cross-section of experience between living in Algeria and being bifurcated with the west. His bleed out on the screen, seems more jaded than informative. At the very least he's sloppy in respecting certain parts of the Saudi national, with terms like Wahhabi which by all accounts is derogatory. Which through admission, I'm a white middle class IT professional living in the Rust Best, and the subtle nature of his cantor is a bit tasteless in my opinion. However, Saudi Arabia is by all measures secular and demands it be, because of its place in the world - it's the holder of the great sites of Islam, playing host to the yearly travel of millions of pilgrims of the Islamic faith. Regardless, it's just a bit slap-stick on journalism to be provocative from my perspective.

Ah yes, but you fail to mention Iran's extremely aggressive agenda in the region.

The Ahwazi Arabs (Sunni, coincidentally) are stripped of nearly all basic human rights, enclosed in their own state essentially within Iran's borders [1]. Even the Shia in Saudi Arabia are treated better than how Iran handles the Ahwaz region.

Further, Iran loves fighting wars by proxy for some reason. Hezbollah and the Revolutionary Guard are roaming around Syria like they own it. Hezbollah's hold on Lebanese politics is undeniable. And of course, the funding of Houthis in Yemen who hilariously failed to execute an easy coup, the result of which started a full-blown war.

The region is in turmoil, and both sides are at fault. I personally believe that the US is entirely aware of the troubled sectarian relations in the region, and is using that as a way to get cheap oil and sell arms, which is a valid strategy.

This has to stop. The only lasting solution is dialogue.

Daesh has a mother: the invasion of Iraq. But it also has a father: Saudi Arabia and its religious-industrial complex. Until that point is understood, battles may be won, but the war will be lost. Jihadists will be killed, only to be reborn again in future generations and raised on the same books. The attacks in Paris have exposed this contradiction again, but as happened after 9/11, it risks being erased from our analyses and our consciences.

The best summary I have read so far.
From the perspective of a Western government, Iran's international relations are the problem.[1] The fact that Iran's society is relatively advanced does little to console the families of the 1100 American soldiers killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq; nor does it console the families of the hundreds (if not thousands) of Israeli civilians killed by (Iranian government supported) Hamas. State support for the Assad regime isn't helping the Iranian government's international reputation either.[2]

If you want to change the West's attitude towards Iran, a good first step would be to push for the release of Jason Rezaian, and the end of state support for terrorism.[3]

Raising $100M at a $25B valuation means someone paid $100M for a .4% stake in AirBnB, which is both surprising and amazing to me. This does ignore whatever preference and specialized terms the stakeholders were given. And of course, the buyers aren't necessarily saying they think the company is worth $25B, they are saying they believe the market will value it at more than $25B at some point in the future.

Iran was a U.S. ally under the Shahs, whose reign lasted from the coup we supported or engineered (against their mostly democratic government) in 1953 until the revolution in 1979. Many/most 9/11 perpetrators, including Osama Bin Laden, came from Saudi Arabia; there is plenty of reason for the U.S. to hate them.

All countries (or other groups) can find reasons to hate or love each other. Look at France and Germany, close allies now but plenty of opportunity for hate. All it takes is an effective political leader to manipulate the public in whatever way suits them.

I think the US/Iran resentment goes back a bit further, roughly to the time that Iran took a whole pile of US hostages that were held for more than a year.

That's not the sort of thing that is easily forgotten and it is one of the cornerstones of West/Islam conflict.

After that it was mostly a downward spiral, with some recent relaxation on both sides of the line.

I don't think there's anything new to understand here. Outlaw it where we can, conduct diplomacy to try to get countries that don't outlaw it to outlaw it. War is a last-ditch option, one that I don't think should be off the table, but we need to go into it clear-headed with a sane understanding of what we can and cannot accomplish.

The Middle East is practically defined by war. Bringing more of it to that region isn't really going to do anything.

I actually think of Isreal as a model to work off of. Build bastions of Western ideals in the region and let the locals decide for themselves which ideology they want to be a part of. Isreal's main problem in this regard is how they treat the Palestinians, but I'm optimistic that they'll eventually work it out. If Isrealis can figure out how to adopt welcoming stances to non-Jewish immigrants, they could become an even bigger magnet for youth than the terror organizations.

Why would the West have to support such a change? It can only happen from within, just like that last time that Iran decided on Regime Change and showed they were perfectly capable of getting rid of their leader of the day (the Shah). Persia ceased to exist and Iran was born, much against the wish of the West and without any of its support (rather the opposite). I'm pretty sure that Iran can manage the next transition just fine. Though it may be a while. If we want to expand IS territory then by all means, let's mess in Irans internal affairs.

The main reason asynchronous programming exists is that useful programs generally have to communicate with some part of the outside world, which does not share the CPU's clock. To a very near approximation, all device I/O is fundamentally asynchronous; synchronous I/O is either an abstraction created by a multitasking operating system, a spectacular waste of CPU time, or a careful optimization used in certain circumstances on an embedded device. Yes, you really can async your entire application; having learned to code on primitive home computers in the '80s, I generally prefer to.
