Just a reminder that tear gas is illegal in war according to signed Geneva conventions by the US but apparently perfectly okay for US police to literally paint on unarmed protesters.

So dropping on ISIL = illegal, unarmed peaceful protestors = okay.

SD card case is both simpler: no need for custom hardware, and at the same time harder: there is flash translation layer [2] between RPi and actual flash erase-blocks, so write patterns, block size, etc. do affect lifetime.

I'm quite surprised that there are a lot of browsers in the wild that support SPDY, but not HTTP/2, given auto-updating. But that's what their numbers show. Maybe mobile skews this?
most of the efficiency benefits we stand to gain with forced induction and other improvements is routinely lost because people cannot drive properly. the race to the next red light does nothing but wreck your mileage.

some have suggested regenerative braking as if this isn't on many cars, but it has been in use but it does not necessarily have to be with large battery packs to make a difference. When combined with auto start/stop it can keep a slightly larger battery charged enough to extend engine off time.

Hmm, does anyone know how to support SPDY and HTTP/2 on a nginx>=1.9.5 and which has only module "ngx_http_v2_module" build inside? What is the configuration for nginx to support SPDY and HTTP/2 ?
Surely HTTP/2 to the origin server will reduce latency between Cloudflare and the origin server and thus reduce overall latency to the browser?

>> In Europe the norm is more like 1.0-1.6 liter turbo engines in new cars.

The Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta are the smallest cars that Ford sells in the US, and they are available with the 1.0 and 1.6 liter turbo engines.

Ford's mid-size car and crossover Ecoboost engines are the 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0 liter turbo engines.

The Ford Fusion sedan isn't a small vehicle, however. It's curb weight is 3,431 to 3,681 lbs.

The Ford Taurus full-size sedan is available with the 2.0 and 3.5 liter turbo engines, it's curb weight is 3,917 to 4,327 lbs.

The 2.3, 2.7 and 3.5 liter turbo engines are found in Ford's full size SUVs like the Explorer and Expedition, and full size 1/2 ton trucks like the F150.

Losing 100 pounds and a ketogenic diet basically cured me. The main thing was cutting out all refined carbohydrates from my diet, but I just feel better when I replace nearly all carbs with fats. Putting on some muscle in the weightroom also made me substantially more insulin sensitive. My bloodwork has never been better, and I'm off my bipolar medication. From what I've read, it's most likely because of the slightly nootropic effect that ketones have on the brain.

Oh my, this is BS. I'm Uruguayan, I had the unpleasant experience of living there for 35 years before moving to the US. Electricity in the country is provided by a state owned monopoly, electricity prices are more than 2x US prices, while salaries are way lower (I made in Uruguay less than 1/5 of what I make in the US). Middle class can't afford a clothes drier, or home central heating. Also, there is virtually no industry, look at how much electricity the country actually uses and it's probably a fraction of what a US city does.

Hydroelectric infrastructure has been there for decades, not a new thing, and numbers can look good some years, but look at dry years. Cars/motorcycles sold there can't be sold on any civilized country because of emission standards, I could go on forever telling everything that is wrong with the country, even if I restrict myself to environmental issues, but let me just finish by saying that the only source cited in the article is official stuff, and if you think US politicians are crap, you don't know Uruguayan ones...

We developed our own patch to NGINX that allows it to support both SPDY/3.1 and HTTP/2 and to negotiate correctly. Stock NGINX allows you to have one or the other, but not both.

I think the joke is that in all cases but the best-case, you won't be around to observe it, this becomes practical once you can create a universe for every permutation and destroy all but the universe which notifies you that it's the best-case.

Yes, but you have to look at the mix of things being delivered to the client. For a typical CloudFlare customer you'll have some dynamic HTML delivered all the way from the origin and then a bunch of static assets delivered from our cache. HTTP/2 between us and the browser is very valuable there, less so on the origin connection.

You see nearly 90% of this improvements already for years with SPDY. SSL with HTTP 1.1 was really slow before Google, FB etc. starting using SPDY years ago. So comparing HTTP 1.1 with SSL to HTTP/2 with SSL seems legit for me.
For sustained writes it always seems to make a somewhat significant difference, but I haven't found much variation in random IO between different sizes of the same model card.
In my experience, not generally. Cautious and quantitative managers usually became that way through careful management of every step, fearful almost of not being able to forecast and see the next steps. So by nature they are nearly impossible to convert.

The one way I have seen it and participated in it, is when someone takes it in their own hands and does something bold to prove to the manager that there is traction and profit to be found outside the paint by numbers scheme. The problem, depending on the manager is that either the bold person is rewarded and the company moves towards some of that greener pasture, or the persons head is cut off and a good project dies right along with all employee morale.

More simply to me this is the difference between an entrepreneur and a hired gun/manager/ceo. Most entrepreneur's are comfortable being uncomfortable, so they will make the "risky" call as people will see it, whereas a hired CEO may not because they are comfortable in measuring and proving to the board how good they are doing by coloring inside the lines.
You can't: "This patch replaces the SPDY module in NGINX."

https://www.nginx.com/blog/http2-r7/

"Before installing the nginx‑plus‑http2 package, you must remove the spdy parameter on all listen directives in your configuration (replace it with the http2 and ssl parameters to enable support for HTTP/2). With this package, NGINX Plus fails to start if any listen directives have the spdy parameter.

NGINX Plus R7 supports both SPDY and HTTP/2. In a future release we will deprecate support for SPDY. Google is deprecating SPDY in early 2016, making it unnecessary to support both protocols at that point."
Yes but you have to buy a car with a huge battery pack and crap performance (including the i8).

I drive an M3, I'm not going to give up fast vehicles until self-driving cars are mandatory. Regenerative braking (with a small battery pack) could double the fuel efficiency I obtain. The existing regenerative braking systems available are horrible (in a number of ways) and not comparable to what's in existence for F1 and the 918.

Regenerative braking for most cars now is where turbochargers were pre-1990s. The system I'm talking about can run only a few miles in full electric but gives a substantial boost in fuel economy because it's utilized for most acceleration below ~100 MPH.
That's a good point. It's a lot of land that probably won't be developed, but we've been exploring other projects like agroforestry etc that might cast shadows. Will definitely ask for clarification. Thanks!
Would be nice to see that patch open sourced (at least I can hope) ;) :)
I am working on something like that, but it is very difficult to make something that is production ready. You can see it here https://blackbeard.io

The whole idea is that we managed the infrastucure and you can launch any docker container that you want.

But we have since changed our idea to be more of a prototype hosting platform where you can easily host and get started really quickly.

A 3.5 liter V6 would probably be used in a sports car or a light truck. A 6.2 liter V8 is almost certainly a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

For standard passenger cars, the norm is closer to 2 liters. European cars are considered "economy" cars and have much smaller engines because they weigh less.

Many Americans spend far more time in their cars than Europeans, and we generally have more space to park them, so we prefer bigger cars. Not nearly as big as they used to be, but still bigger than the rest of the world. Bigger cars need bigger engines, and we do lots of highway driving so performance is important too.
Auto Image Tagging and Convolution Networks
In terms of optimal performance for end users... I should now be hosting all files on my own server w/ Cloudflare rather rather something like Google's CDN? For example, jQuery. Reason being, is that those files will all load in parallel on my own domain, whereas for another domain like Google, it'd have to renegotiate an SSL connection and wait a bit longer?

Is this correct? Or is there more to it than that?
And the possibility of such an acquisition ruining Netflix. I can't imagine a lot of Netflix engineers would've been happy to work for a dinosaur like Yahoo.
i would guess not much. you don't get to pick where fat is burned. So, for example, doing lots of situps won't burn belly fat. Bodies will pick whichever fat cell is handy and consume that. some % will come from the belly of course, but it's more like a table of all fat cells in the body where you pick a random row.

it's kind of like electricity production. A power plant might be built right on top of one of the richest veins of coal in the world, but the power plant burns whatever it can get it's hands on, not necessarily what's closest.

We are interested in leasing the land. One thing that they did explicitly write out was that they would be responsible for returning the land to it's original condition so that's not as much of a worry.

The developer did provide us with a brief resume, but I'll be sure to get more specific.

That's some good insight into the development process and thanks!

Does anybody know what the normal price/acre a developer would pay for a project like this?
the windows implementation of cyberduck is horrendous, as a windows user (it was forced on me) I have been looking for alternatives for a while..

It hangs on start, randomly doesn't connect, does odd things with bookmarks (they don't work sometimes, but manually entering info does)

I don't recommend cyberduck on windows to anyone, I've been looking for an alternative for a while.

if a dev is reading my machine is:

* OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise
* CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v2 @ 3.50GHz (3.00 GHz)
* RAM: 32691 MB Total (16885 MB Free)
* VGA: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

* Version: 4.7.3

The 2.7 ecoboost is used on pretty large cars by european standards: The ford F-150 pickup truck, the Lincoln Mk6 crossover, and the Ford Edge crossover. It is tuned on each of them to produce over 300 horsepower, so it's probably vehicles that are pretty different than the European cars you are used to.

That said, many times, for the same car, the US version doesn't even offer the small engine options that the same car has in Europe. For instance, the new Mazda MX-5 has a 1.5L and a 2L versions in Europe, but in the US, Mazda only brings the two liter option, because they'd not expect the smaller engine to sell very well. Something similar happens with the Ford Focus, that in Europe goes from 1 to 2 liters, while in the US there's only a two liter version, and the question is whether you just want a naturally aspirated one, or you want a turbocharged version with more power.

So in practice, there's a bit of having only the big engines for the same cars, but the biggest difference is that in the US, people find it just dandy to buy an SUV or a pickup truck to use as a regular commuter car, while in Europe gas prices and the difficulty of parking something that big in an urban setting leads to people driving far smaller cars.

Sorry to STRONGLY disagree with you 100% but R clearly is a functional language and it might just be that you are unfamiliar with R or have not spent time with R.

Weak example is Wikipedia list of Functional Programming Languages list R as one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming#R

R describes itself as a Functional programming Language:

The language syntax has a superficial similarity with C, but the semantics are of the FPL (functional programming language) variety with stronger affinities with Lisp and APL. In particular, it allows “computing on the language”, which in turn makes it possible to write functions that take expressions as input, something that is often useful for statistical modeling and graphics.
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-lang.html

Academic Evidence: "The Journal Trends in Functional Programming" also list R as a functional programming language.

R is an environment and functional programming language for statistical data analysis and visualization. Largely unknown to the functional programming community, it is popular and influential in many empirical sciences.

http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-40447-4...

The issue might be it isn't Haskel so it is not 100% functional but there are more Functional Programming Languages then Haskel.

PS This is why so many programs in R are poorly written because people try to force OO into R when they could do things Functional. That is also why my eyes bleed when I see people looping through everything in their R scripts.

You're right. I misspoke a bit; I mean all this type of work is Mauna Kea specific:

http://www.tmt.org/documents

Preliminary work on pipelines relating to the optics, PSFs, band throughputs, etc are simulated with Mauna Kea in mind.

Then that affects the possible science cases. And "survey strategy" at this point would mean allocation of time to contributors which is based on how much money they want to give for their projects by taking those prior simulations into account.

Perhaps the instrument isn't that specialized, but the project kind of is. TMT on Mauna Kea is essentially a completely different telescope from TMT at Apache Point.

They are very different beasts, even setting aside the syntax. ChucK is geared towards (musical) audio signal generation, with modules for wave generation, filtering, delay, etc. It also can generate notes, but the support for doing so is fairly low level when I last looked at ChucK. Alda is more geared towards generating note data (pitch, duration, amplitude) that gets fed into sound generation gear or software.
