I noted that:

1. inserting an author name, by example:

Alice Coltrane

?! :-)

I got all tracks related to any "Alice", by example

Moby - Alice
some other Cocteau Twins track, etc.

no track related really to "Alice Coltrane",
that's probably because you just do an OR on your query,
ok, clear.

2. in the web client, in result track list, song names appear truncated... by example I'm not able to read the Cocteau Twin complete title track, in the above example.
While you present a compelling argument, I must respectfully disagree. I may catch some flack for saying it, and many people refuse to believe it, but the U.S. is insolvent. The value of the U.S. dollar is artificially propped-up. How long do you truly believe the Russias and Chinas of the world are going to keep using greenbacks? They will feign WWIII, Israel will expand to encompass 'Greater Israel' and U.N. will formally install global government, and USD will cease to be de-facto global currency.
The only thing that could end the (petro-)dollar would be the intro of Bankor for international trade.

Meaning that if US wanted to buy something off china, it would have to convert USD into Bankor, then buy whatever from China, that would then turn those Bankor into Renminbi (or hold them for more imports).

This would mean that a import heavy nation would find their Bankor exchange rate plummeting etc, potentially balancing out trade.

As long as the USD is the international trade currency, USA can always print to cover needs. This in contrasts to various historical death spirals where a lack of exports and a constant printing to cover foreign expenses ran the currency into the ground.
Aha, I get it. I misread your statement. I thought you were saying that CNY is a small share of SDR, not that SDR is a small share of all global reservers. My apologies.

Has this ever been substantiated? It seems like it would be a pretty easy thing to document.
It has nothing to do with gender equality. It has to do with economic inequality between males.

Economic inequality between males means more and more women are competing for a smaller supply of wealthy males.

Increased demand for top males leads to gender inequality as more and more women compete for a smaller pool of rich men, reducing the bargaining power of every individual woman and increasing the bargaining power of the few males who are marriage material.

Increased demand for top males leads to polygamy and other polygamous arrangements such as mistresses.

You know, the old protection rackets (which probably still exist) were easy to make seem non-illegal. If that's a word. One person offers to prevent the consequences of ignoring threats, but doesn't make the threat themselves. A person with little or no known connections to the first makes the actual threat and carries them out. The first guy was trying to help a neighborhood business with a potential problem, you see. In other words, if you pay me I'll protect your store from these lawless thugs destroying other people's stores who do not pay for my protection.

Now, looking at such things from a common sense perspective makes it quite obvious what's going on. But proving the same in a court of law, which often will have a much higher requirement of proof, may not be so easy.

Plugin architecture is one form of it. I was referring to a superset of software that's designed for stripping of system components themselves. Examples are eCos and Windows Embedded configuration. An extreme example is Poly2 project using it for security boost by actually removing code from internal functions. I knew a guy who got a fully functional WinXP box, w/ browser & office software, down to under 650MB by just deleting stuff and seeing if things still work. Now, had there just been an automated way to do that...

"in part because of them having to avoid breaking compatibility in the plugin infrastructure too often"

Backward compatibility often makes it challenging. Should ease things a bit if the software is straight-up designed for stripping at client sites. I'd imagine the interface level would stay fixed, though, for compatibility.

"As it is, they are forced to release OSX yearly in order to match iOS, which in turn has to match hardware releases come rain or shine. iDevices now drive Apple profits, not Mac; OSX stability is sacrificed in order to keep iPhone sales healthy.

Sounds believable. I'm not an Apple customer so I can't speak to it except to say Mac OS X is definitely a second-class citizen right now for reason you said. Apple themselves push strongly things like tablets to replace the Mac's where possible. Part of a larger drive to keep people consumers instead of producers. But that's another topic. ;)

The best way I can be explicit about what the Perl 6 docs are missing is holding up the official Python docs for any version [0] as a standard, and saying that Perl 6 needs that; and, for onboarding, especially a Perl 6 equivalent of what Python has as its Tutorial (the Language Reference and Library Reference are also important, though the latter might need rethought more fundamentally for Perl 6, with its more-complete independent modularization as opposed to batteries-included standard library.)

As a free market guy, I don't think free market ideas are anti-redistribution. They are against redistribution through the coercive power of government as moral principle and utilitarian argument.

I think private charity is far more effective in helping people in need. The government redistribution is merely a ploy to steal our wealth in the name of fighting poverty. I am totally surprised to see the amount of money US government wasted on Iraq war for which no one ever got punished.
What advantages does the Yuan have over the USD? I think the next generation will value the transparency and predictability of issuance of a crypto currency similar to bitcoin has far greater advantages.

I suspect those messages were never official, but more the local operators making the best of being posted during holidays. Thus they were likely never recorded anywhere.
No exactly the same, but it is becoming more common for women in the United States to have children to multiple different men in quick succession. Definitely a form of polygamy.

Particularly of note in poverty stricken communities and the African American community which also happen to have many social problems. Its an interesting theory worth looking more into IMO.

This article doesn't talk about "wound botulism". This is most often found with injecting heroin users who inject into muscle not a vein.

For example, in the UK between 1980 and 2013 there were only 36 cases of food borne botulism, but 147 cases of wound botulism between 2000 and 2013.

I don't know that the United States is "moving away from monogamy". I've certainly read more about polygamous relationships lately, but I think that's a consequence of the greater visibility afforded by the Internet, and the decreasing stigmatization of such relationships making people more likely to be open about it. I would want to see some hard evidence before just saying that polygamy is actually increasing in frequency though; I suspect it's no more or less prevalent than it ever was.
Without any additional details your contrasting of "cheapass open" vs "scalable private peerings" seems completely baseless. Why is DTAG not the cheapass for skimping on their public pairings?
I put that saved click towards downvoting you. Here's why: your summary tells me nothing about who Jonathan Mayer is, what his background has been, or why this will be an effective hire. In order to do that and still save me from clicking to read the original article, you or others will need to quote additional parts of that article. If everyone did this, we would end up with a poor, out of order retelling of most of the article in Twitter-length posts that lack sufficient context.
> That certainly is not due to costs, hardware for bigger pipes never gets more expensive the more you buy.

That depends. It's currently the case for 100gig (minus xconnect costs) depending on vendor platform. Cisco's yield on their CPAK modules is rumored to be in the low single digits. If you can actually get your hands on a working module, they're crazy expensive right now. People are hoarding them and saying "which customer is this really worth or will pay me the most?"

The Cisco 100gig situation is so bad right now, that there is a very large international carrier looking to replace their Cisco edge with Juniper.
Agreed. One of the reasons Li-ion (Lithium Cobalt Oxide) batteries are so expensive is the extensive quality controls that have to be performed on it. If you put 100 cells in a car and even 1% of those cells are faulty, your car catches fire. The worst that happens with LiFePO4 is the internal goo bubbles out of the battery and smells bad.

AFAICT, Tesla uses Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (LiNiCoAlO2) aka "NCA". It's safer than Cobalt, but not as safe as Iron.
Personally I really dislike the Python documentation for an average module. Return types seem to never be specified and everything is written too much in a tutorial fashion.

However, you bring up a good point as to the Language Reference / Library Reference. I'm not sure if there's anything remotely comparable for Perl6. I'll get looking into what it would need to add it. Also fwiw Perl6's stdlib is not as bare as 5s.
The third link takes you there which has definitions for the term family, as well as population breakdowns. The United State Census Bureau presents them.

I linked to a paper by the IMF where they could not find any evidence that redistribution hurt growth.

To my knowledge GDP captures changes in efficiency. If we become more efficient we produce more stuff. What efficiency changes do you think are invisible to GDP but make the poor's life significantly better?

Yes, it is. Marriage rates are at an all time low, divorce rates are at an all time high, never married rate is at an all time high, out of wedlock births are at an all time high, and there is no deterrent for adultery.

The west has been in a soft-polygamy system since no-fault divorce was instigated. The only reason the illusion of classical marriage limps on is because the vestiges of the old system, mainly the ideals of classical marriage, remain attractive for those who are uninformed of the reality on the ground.

Thus, young average men enter into marriage with women assuming lifelong monogamy, and are surprised to find their wives spending time with above average men.

Females of our species have no benefit to be gained by settling for second best genetic material. They want the best, and don't care who provides the provisioning for those offspring. Cuckolding is a powerful strategy for females to have their cake and eat it too, which is why it is so widespread in nature.

No advanced civilization has ever survived the onset of polygamy [1]. Will the west be an exception?

We live in interesting times.

Further, do programming languages and math (each with their own definitions, notations, and axioms) count as language? I guess that would depend on how the brain processes these vs. spoken/written language.

How about dialects and very closely related languages? Surely, say, Tamil (or Mandarin) and English are quite different or orthogonal even, while Tamil (or Mandarin) and Kannada (or Cantonese) have similarities having diverged more recently (~2000 years for Tamil and Kannada/~1000 years for Chinese).

> - It's not possible to announce a specific (premium) routing for just a single IP address.

If DTAG allows it, they can accept an advertisement for a single /32 if wanted in their BGP tables, this would allow traffic to that IP address to flow from DTAG -> Private Peering-> Hetzner.

For the reverse, for traffic leaving Hetzner's network, Hetzner would have to set up source based routing which specifically sets the next hop for certain sources/destinations to the router that is peering with DTAG.

This is technically very possible, just complicated.

The Earth has finite resources, and is replenishing them more slowly than we're using them. You're making the argument that withdrawing exponentially increasing amounts from our sizable savings account is just fine, thank you on the assumption that it will never run out.

This is a clear failure in understanding of the exponential function.
Well, it eliminates most of the possible keys. Out of 2^256 possible keys, only 2^64 are now possible.

This would be serious if someone found a way to easily identify which keys were still possible. From there, you could find the real key simply by a process of elimination. It would be somewhat lengthy, but not unreasonably so. But so far as I know, nobody yet knows how to easily identify which keys are still possible.

Note: I'm ignoring IVs here, partly because I don't know if HTTP2 uses them. They may make the process of elimination impossible (at least in realistic amounts of time).

"I don't think its the majority outside of Silicon Valley though. I am very far removed from the Valley so the examples given look nothing like I've personally seen anywhere but I can see how that can be the case in the Valley from what I hear/see in the "news.""

Whereas I hadn't heard of the problem in the Valley as they're always riding one wave or fad after another. The people that report the issues I described are almost exclusively outside the Valley or startup scene mostly working for mid-sized to large companies without much IT innovation. Reading comments on many programming and job sites makes me think they're the majority (or just vocal majority).

Might be different in your area or the types of companies you work for. Most I know in banking, retail, logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, and services firms... a huge chunk of job market... do CRUD style apps and have lots of legacy systems they expand on rather than replace. Lots of boring work.

Does vary by industry, area, and technology stack, though. Interesting to see yours is mostly interesting, custom code instead of throw-together apps many get stuck with. Honestly, though, I think the SO use is less about CRUD than the information overload of various libraries and frameworks where people constantly run into issues due to lack of understanding/experience.
That depends on the person. I imagine anyone who looks at the docs for a few minutes would have a pretty good idea for themselves
Python 3 fixes a few things, mostly in Unicode handling. What I've seen of Perl 6 looks like a new language.

The Yen was a credible currency in 1995, and it's now in much worse shape (both today and its outlook). The Euro was widely expected to pose a challenge to the dollar globally, which has not happened at all.

The dollar is as strong as it is even with 0% interest rates. Imagine if rates were even half the levels they were 20 years ago. I'd definitely make the argument the dollar is stronger today than it has been since the late 1990s when the US economy was riding very high.

In the next few years, most likely the dollar will gain more strength (the US budget is currently under control, growth is ok, and the employment picture continues to strengthen spurring tax growth), the Euro will be debased with more QE in mostly futile attempts to spur Eurozone growth, and the Yen will lose a lot more value. The Yuan is also likely to face significant devaluation as China struggles to grow in real terms, but it will at least see greater global share. Things are looking great for the dollar at least for the next ten years.

We start the process to add more peering ports once we see sustained traffic at 40% of port capacity (in PPS or BPS). The process takes a while depending on who you're dealing with, and before you know it, you're up to 80% right before that new port comes online.

I wonder if a breakdown of services would be better. One to five stars for things like price, service, choices, quality, and so on. No overall one score for the entire experience with an often useless text description of what supposedly happened.

But, I think in the long run it doesn't matter. It just seems consumer based reviews are useless overall and people should stop relying on them.
Basically, I guess, I would like something like the Camel book for Perl 6.

There was one published by O'Reilly about ten years ago, but of course back then you could not say "apt-get install perl6" or something equivalent. Also, the language definition was far from finished, back then, so that book is probably totally outdated by now.

The Perl community, as far as I can tell, has no lack of talented writers, so I am optimistic something will be written before too long.

Another reference you might want to look at is "Modern Perl" (http://modernperlbooks.com/).

And really, I would like something I can read offline, preferably as a PDF. I know we live an always-online age, but really, I want something I can read on the train where I have no Internet access, and I want to be able to search the documentation without having to send a request to a web server.

I am aware there are of http://www.perl6.org/documentation/, but the docs there seem to be ... not organized in the way my brain is used to.

Another reference that just comes to my mind is the Python documentation, which IMHO is superb. It's well organized, concise and to the point, without being spartan.

Just to be clear, I do not expect you to do all that work, but if you want starting points what I would like Perl 6 documentation to look like, now you know. ;-)
