Yes, regulatory bodies require maintenance and vigilance both to remain effective and to maintain an accessible market. Neither is a fundamental argument against regulation.

Yes, you are correct. I would use ECC in that situation if it were my system.

The point I was making about the reference Nvidia setup was that it's targeted at development, which means starting and stopping the system often, etc. So ECC wouldn't be of much use in that sense, and it would only serve to make Nvidia's reference system more expensive. I don't think it's a sign they don't believe it should be used.
A few years ago I've posted a question "How to limit speed with BMW JSDK on 116i programmatically from Java?" on StackOverflow as an April Fool's joke:

"Some Republican lawmakers want to preserve bulk collection until 2017, citing the Nov. 13 Paris attacks in which 130 people died."

It always leaves a bad taste in my mouth when politicians use an event (bad or otherwise) to prop up controversial legislation. If their reasoning is that the bulk surveillance program is necessary to avert terrorism, then surely they must have known or, at least, gotten a hint of what was due to happen on that day. Of course, it doesn't work like that.

The NSA's "metadata" collection policies means that a great majority of the data they collect is harmless "noise". I can understand data collection when they have narrowed down their leads to a specific person or group, but the current dragnet they've set up is costing taxpayers millions to store and manage the data.

Maybe an approach could be to actually reach out to authors that are creating accounts and to verify identities more than just an email account rather than focus on contents of that said account. I would also imagine that certain geographic regions have higher reports of said activities. So extra checks should be added for them in the approval process. In the end if they don't shape up they are only hurting themsleves in the long run.
Thank you; it seems I may have misunderstood. From the article, "The method chosen, in which the gold particles are crystallised directly during manufacture of the aerogel protein structure (and not, for example, added to an existing scaffold) is new. The method's biggest advantage is that it makes it easy to obtain a homogeneous gold aerogel, perfectly mimicking gold alloys."

I don't right now, unfortunately, but a writeup is next on my list of projects after the carputer is complete. I'll post it here if there's interest. For learning about the OBD protocol, though, these resources have been very helpful:

The ELM 327 data sheet (this is the chip in most OBD devices you'll find on amazon): http://elmelectronics.com/DSheets/ELM327DS.pdf

"A complete guide to hacking your vehicle bus on the cheap & easy": https://theksmith.com/software/hack-vehicle-bus-cheap-easy-p...

There's a PyOBD python module out there (my carputer is built in python), but it's a fairly simple process so I just rolled by own using pyserial.

The distinction between a democracy and republic is worth noting, specifically in Western democracies where elected representatives, not the voting public, make most major decisions. Two issues here: 1. Technology (telecom and social networks) clearly is a threat to dictators when used for challenges to the established order (see various recent populist uprisings) and 2. Yet, despite the theoretical ability of tech to drive mass participation in decision making, where's the push, particularly in Western democracies?

Personally, I'm a firm believer in 'be careful what you ask for,' especially since established regimes (to say nothing of global corporations) have the resources and motivation to manipulate the same technology/social connectivity in their favor. In other words, democracy depends on an informed polis, so the hearts-and-minds campaign continues and is somewhat more directly valuable--but nothing much changes: Best messaging wins.

> but udemy got videos off of pluralsight, uploaded them to their own servers, and are then selling them off as udemy's own courses.

You are confusing things here. A Udemy user took some content from Pluralsight and published the content on Udemy. Where Udemy is in the wrong is in not taking the content down and banning the teacher from their platform.
Because how would you even do that with any sort of accuracy, do you check the global content registry database? Surely people dont expect to export the burden of protecting your IP to other companies?
Basho's Riak operating in non-last-write-wins mode didn't lose any writes so that is one solid off-the-shelf product that gets distribution right. Zookeeper performed well as well.

Win10 is legitimately good and atm visual studio is at least on a par with intellij which I have used extensively.

So whilst I bare them no ill will they should absolutely be subject to the highest degree of scrutiny.

Apple should too, ofc, and moreso in recent years they are. They real travesty is that all industry leaders (and honestly, tell me windows isn't an industry leader - it bloody /is/ an industry!) aren't held up to the same degree of rigour as Microsoft are.
More slowly, he recounted the long list of relatives he lost over these decades of calamity, from a brother who died in the war against the Soviets in the 1980s to his 70-year-old brother-in-law, who was beheaded this month. The Taliban killed more than 19 relatives in all.

Indeed, it seems very likely that on the other side there are numerous individuals who have suffered similar losses and fight for similar reasons. And moreover, it seems likely that both sides will continue to inflict further deaths that will continue the process. And here, the idea that the tactic of using drone strike to kill Taliban leaders and "incidentally" many bystanders, could help put an end to the situation seems both absurd and grotesque.

Moreover, for as long as the war on drugs and geopolitical maneuvers pumps significant funds into underdeveloped, lawless areas, conflicts in those areas seem fated to continue in their present fashion - you'll always have machine guns and people with considerable motive to use them against people in the next village. The brutal views of ISIS and similar groups just seems a logical generalization of such a situation.

I guess it's not common knowledge that the ruling Shia-dominated government operated death-squads on a large scale in Iraq, targeting Sunni-ethnicity tribe people group now supporting ISIS/ISIL/daesh/etc.

This came about after Sun and AT&T decided to standardise the Unix industry on SVR4. Having lots of cheap Atari, Amiga and other micros running SVR4 would have helped it dominate the industry. In theory, at least.

This prompted DEC (Ultrix), HP (HP-UX), IBM (AIX) and other companies to band together to develop their own standard Unix, which was OSF/1 (Open Software Foundation, or as Scott McNealy said, "Oppose Sun Forever").

This kicked off another round of Unix Wars, which was no doubt much appreciated in Redmond, where Windows NT was being developed.

The Atari SVR4 was ported by Unisoft and there's a video of it booting on a TT 030 workstation (which had a 68030).

I was at the Atari Unix SVR4 (pre-)announcement at CeBIT in Germany, but it's so long ago I've forgotten the details.

Define "dangerous". Listen mate, if you make money on something and that something is stolen - you are responsible. Udemy created this marketplace for stolen things; people steal things and sell them there.

Nope. That's what people do in a dispute to solve the dispute. The correct course of action is something else entirely as we're talking about copyright law, not pissing on your neighbors orchids.
Currently actually only Skylake Xeons support AVX-512, the shiniest and newest incarnation of SIMD. No desktop i3, i5 or i7 does that.

No one is using MMX anymore, but even it is supported by all the Xeons made in last 15 years. Xeons have had SSE just as long as other Intel CPUs.

So what you said is not true at all.

> By contrast, Arab countries had no local beacon of democracy to guide them during their recent revolutions—apart from Israel, to whose democratic virtues they seem strangely blind.

How condescending and an utterly false statement! If it weren't for the "democratic" Israel and its deep state and ruling class in the military and security establishment with their close ties and entrenched interests with the Egyptian military, we would be having a nascent and growing democracy on our hands here in Egypt unlike the oppressive military dictatorship approved by Bibi and his henchmen.

The first - but not the last - Egyptian experience with democracy faltered from an external standpoint due to the confluence of reactionary powers from Gulf monarchies such as UAE and Saudi Arabia and Israel on one side, with the repressive and tyrannical Egyptian military, and on the other side, the equally regressive powers albeit opening to electoral democracy, like Turkey and Qatar with the Muslim Brotherhood, thus turning the whole local political game into a regional power struggle between two fierce camps and ruining it for us aspiring citizens for a democrtic rule.
To get 100 µl out you need more than a finger prick. Once you go this way you might as well cannulate. There might be some special cases where you can get 100 µl but not 3 mL, but this market is not going to support the weight of a unicorn.
The sad thing is that in this day and age, independent content creators don't have their copyrights respected, while megacorporations patent troll and abuse our broken intellectual property system.

The only solution that comes to mind is for independent content creators to vigorously litigate and ensure that their DMCA claims are taken seriously.
>If the content isnt worth doing this then the content isnt actually that valuable to the author.

Even if the author thought the content was worth nothing doesn't change that it's his content, for which he controls the copyright. I don't necessarily agree with the modern copyright ecosystem, but as long as it's around it should be applied in a manner consistent with its goals of enabling content creators to control the commercialization of their content, including not at all.
True, I stand corrected. Thanks.
If you're in the business of selling content you damn well ought to know who's content your selling. I'm not saying any system would be completely bulletproof, but you should at least look like you're TRYING.
Low end server/workstation motherboards are quite cheap and plentiful nowadays. Even some of the low-end Pentiums have ECC support so there is little reason not to.

Dangerous was a bad word choice, perhaps "unreasonable".

I never claimed they arent responsible and as the DCMA outlines they mitigate their responsibility for hosting this content by allowing DCMA take downs. What are you suggesting Udemy do to validate that the content creator owns the content they are selling. Copyright law and ownership is a very complicated issue. There isnt a copyright database where they can validate that the content is owned by that person but also the content in the actual content is owned by the person who created the content.

What are you suggesting they do?

Is it possible to get some of the benefits of ECC without ECC by serializing out the entire state of a program at some set rate? For example, one could read in the n'th serialized checkpoint, run the program to the n+1'th checkpoint, and compare the original n+1'th checkpoint to the new n+1'th checkpoint. If these differ, cosmic rays flipped a bit in the interim. This would, of course, break if the code itself doesn't guarantee bit compatible results over multiple runs (due to the use of certain parallel algorithms, etc). I suppose this would double the runtime, however...

There is an interesting reframing of "us versus them" here [1]:

It's the side of tribalism -- the primitive instinct that says your "group" has to win at all costs, and I honestly don't care how you define your group (race, religion, country, way of life) because ultimately I think there are the only two sides:

A. Those who think their tribe has to dominate Earth;
B. Those who think tribes can coexist.

What I've heard is that Valve is a typical "flat" org. Wherein there is an elite/cabal of folks who need to be on board any project for it to actually get done. As a consequence, almost no major projects get done. When was the last time Valve shipped a game? Dota 2? That and incremental work on Steam has been most of what they've done for the last many years.

The theory here is good, but I think the implementation is lacking. Haskell's QuickCheck is one of the most mature frameworks for doing what the author calls "data-driven testing", so It might be worth mentioning one of the JavaScript ports compatible with Mocha: node-quickcheck, JSCheck, etc.

Exactly. "Ownership" is not easily defined when it comes to content. For all we know, just because Rob appears in the video does not mean he owns the rights to the content. And just because the guy who uploaded the content is not in the video doesn't mean he might not have connections with people who own the content. Just saying.
