I don't think you need to focus on all of the academic hoop jumping, most of which is a bit toxic for intellectual development, especially on the English & literature for K-12. Your kids will learn to jump the hoops and hopefully forget it once they graduate.

Rather, I would focus on a narrow range of activities, such as only math, reading and outdoors activity (sports / outdoors organization like scouts). The rest of their time would be up to them. If they wish to enroll in more activities, and your income so permits, then so be it. If they wish to meet with friends, then so be it.

Too many upper-middle class parents attempt to raise renaissance children, and I've found that most of my peers never really reach anywhere with their rennaisance skills. Their piano is whatever. Their kung fu is whatever. Their Chinese is whatever. Their art is whatever.

Yes, art, music, dance, foreign language school, martial arts, crafts, etc, can all be interesting. But there's also opportunity cost. When you're learning Chinese you're not learning math. When you're learning math you're not hanging out with friends.

In sum: Don't make a renaissance child. Focus on a few things and give the rest of the time to your children, preferably for outdoors or social time.
Firefox's built-in mp4 player is working for me well, for both live streams and recordings (the "re-live" section of streaming, which has all the talks that happened before folks in America woke up). So, they're at:

http://streaming.media.ccc.de/32c3/relive/

BTW, there's also a flash player for the "re-live" stuff, which isn't working for me on Linux at all; if you're having trouble with it, try the mp4s. (Just as well; I get to shove the flash-enabled browser profile back in its box.)
You are assuming the Web as the only medium. Content is also produced for other media, such as print.
From an article - Because a return signal from an ordinary target illuminated by a radar transmitter diminishes as the inverse of the fourth power of the distance, for the surveillance radar to work effectively, these satellites had to be placed in low Earth orbit. Had they used large solar panels for power, the orbit would have rapidly decayed due to drag through the upper atmosphere. Further, the satellite would have been useless in the shadow of Earth.

I don't want to sound mean, I really appreciate the article, but the choice of colours (the blue background and the colour of links) is making it quite difficult to follow the post, for me at least.

Maybe you could take a look at some of the web palettes at http://www.colourlovers.com/web/palettes ?

Thanks for the nice blog post!
If someone that creates a digital good and requires payment for each copy, but people believe they don't have the right to create such a restriction, can't the GPL be ignored on exact same grounds (I should not be restricted or burdened by the GPL's restrictions or requirements)?

Anti-copyright = anti-GPL
It takes some weeks to get it working, I'd say two to four, depending how often you've done it. Then for weeks there is nearly no Ops at all (security updates only mostly while the servers are humming) with releases done with Docker push by developers. Adding and provisioning a new VPS takes some seconds (and some seconds later checking), with Consul the stuff running on the VPS usually integrates itself). Sometimes hardware breaks down, then it's either setup a new VPS (setup_server <IP> <Role>) which takes around 5sec or mail the hoster if it's a DB server with a (mirrored RAID) SSD crash, which takes around 2h to fix all in all. So on average per year I'd guess 0,2 Ops FTE (which equals 10 weeks a year, which is a lot if you're not Facebook and don't need to do releases of new app versions). Today ops is relativly easy with a well trodden path, it's not 1999.

The Salt is of the shelf, with some bash scripts on top to auto generate some config and make installation of a new server one script call.

We surely could put endless hours into Ops, playing around with stuff etc. but the benefit would be marginal.

Our DNS setup is simple, not much to say, we use DNS Made Easy for failover, we use S3 though I do not consider it "AWS" (S3 is comparativly cheap).

I've wondered about Mesosphere with autoscaling etc. but with adding a new VPS in seconds setting up Mesosphere/Kubernetes taking two weeks would take quite some time to amortize.
Wow! You just made my weekend. Some projects take time and to see you do this from start to end is inspiring to me. I have some projects sitting for months and find it hard, sometimes, to just get them done.

The answer to the second unasked question is, if cost were no barrier, then the lower bound for our current class of tech is almost certainly an effective feature size of ~1.5nm, or about 5 or 6 generations. When I'm feeling bullish (usually after talking to my boys at Intel) I feel confident we'll eventually see 3nm. I suspect something more exotic will intercept by then, and carry after that in effective feature size reduction. Of course, by then, my hot-air-lifting-body-balloon unicorn will have realized, so I won't care =)
On Android, you typically have USB host (at least on any phone that someone interested in this tech would buy). On iOS it's moot since NFC is gimped and can't be used by apps.
I was more of an SGI guy, having cut my Unix teeth on Risc/OS on a MIPS Magnum pizza box, still got my O2, wish I still had my stack of Indy's .. but I can nevertheless understand the love for these old machines. What a pity those guys didn't compete for the pocket, eh?
It's worth noting here that "production" is not for literally serving your app. Rather it's used here to provide a production-like build of your app that can be tested on multiple devices before actually deploying it online.

it is not the number of copies that matters, but the actual value those copies provide.

assuming a single purchase good, one person creating n copies once does not steal much value.

n persons creating one copy does steal much value.
Publishing an unsolicited article about how you no long give unsolicited advice is somehow flawed.
The art piece is making an analogy, which is flawed for fairly obvious reasons.

And the article clearly supports the message, it's not objectively reporting the news.
It has some native typed features that mean one can speed up numeric or raw byte/bit operations to be faster, sometimes a lot faster than, say, Perl 5, but it's generally a whole lot slower, 10x and even 100x slower wasn't uncommon a few months ago. Some users claim it's worth trying it to see how it works out for the sort of code a given user writes.

This release is about nailing down the language with a compiler that passes a test suite. Next comes a focus on improving what they have -- nailing bugs, speeding it up and expanding the test suite while making sure it continues to pass the test suite and keeps users' code running.

I'd expect some benchmarks to be published on #perl6 in the next few weeks.
It's not an old file. It's a new file resulting from running OCR on a PDF of a physical manual. Clipping off the filename in the original URL, you'll find a directory [1] with an explanation in the README [2]

For me, I try to figure out everything that the code is doing before I use it (using it more as a tutorial/guide) so having a lot of other tech to deal with gets in the way of the "get it working first" version
For me, the deciding factor is what data services you need. If you need a database, then on a VPS, you'll have to install and manage it yourself, whereas on AWS you can use RDS, and on a PaaS you can use whatever managed database the PaaS provides.

If you don't need any data services, then a VPS is as good a bet as AWS; deployment is much the same, and not substantially harder than on a PaaS.
That's because Intel is waiting for AMD to catch up.
This is great.

Even more so because after gem, or pip, or something (can't remember) had a similar issue a while ago (think they had an n2 algorithm) a lot of people jumped on it as being bad computer science. There were all sorts of calls about how web people were not real computer scientists.

Either way, good useful products were made and they've been further optimised. That's great. More of that more of the time.
College costs continue to rise. And predictability of retirement funds are important as well. Did his parents know after 8 years he had an expectation they would be asked to pay for college?

Even though we have saved for my youngest to go to college we are expecting her to apply for many merit scholarships and we expect her to help with some expenses using summer internship earnings. The more she contributes the better her chance for ownership over the college outcome.
It's a pretty good assumption, considering this is implemented in techs that are almost exclusively used on the Web and not in print. Regardless, SVG works in print, too. We have moved way past the period where printing required physically movable type.

I mean, they even went so far as to create an SVG font. Why bother going through all that? Just make them icons.

So libapt is a critical piece of your widely used tool, and you're just happy to sit back, bag on it and talk about the one un-maintianable patchset made. Typical. Ever wonder why apt isn't better in the first place?
Which is also true for an mp4 file of a movie or mp3 file of a song or a CD of shrinkwrap software.

Breaking Up? Let an App Do It for You
According to the developer the bug was present only in the 1.1 series, which is just a few months old (it was pre-released at debconf 2015, and is not in Jessie if i'm not mistaken).
Perl6 example:

sub Σ(@array_to_sum) { return [+] @array_to_sum; }

say Σ (1,2,3,4); # It will display 10
I think the GP actually meant that the JavaScript has to be parsed anyway so on the server side you get a delay because the server does it while on the client side you get a delay when the browser does it, so how does this save time in total?
That's how it works in the US. Schools cost what they believe your parents can afford until you are 26.
> Perl was probably the first language I did interesting stuff in but I gradually moved on to other languages

Same here. But recently I had to convert a strange proprietary file format from a poll into CSV for a personal project of mine, and I decided to use Perl (5) just for nostalgia sake. I got a solution in minutes despite not having used Perl in years and I enjoyed programming on it, I'd say more than Python and sometimes bash which are my go-to scripting languages. Perl is the kind of language that you enjoy using for quick but effective hacks, maybe because it doesn't get in your way. Definitely I'm going to use it more.
1. E-bikes will take off. Before the end of the year I suspect almost everyone will have one because Chinese manufacturers will flood the market. A bike with a 500-750w engine is an amazing way to ride to work. You save money, are environmentally friendly and get exercise. Even an untrained fatty can easily handle a 15 km commute on one. Awesome.

2. Mozilla and MS will abandon their own html rendering engines and start using WebKit.

3. The eye-balls as revenue model will fail. Ad-supported magazines, video sites and many more will become subscription-based instead.

3.5. As a sad consequence, Google will lay of A LOT of personnel. Facebook too I guess.

4. HiDpi 3200x1800 screens will become the norm. Tablets will make specialized devices like Kindle obsolete.

5. Bitcoin will not take of. Visa, Mastercard or a European bank organization will launch a crypto-currency that might take off. Critics will complain that it won't guarantee any anonymity.

6. Multi-threading and multi-processing won't go anywhere because it is to hard. A new language might be created by any of the big companies promising to make parallel processing easy, but it won't, and the language won't be adopted.

7. I predict a lot of health and self-improvement tech being marketed. Like do it yourself genome sequencing, apps to monitor your stats and help you live more healthy.

8. GPU:s will be equipped with chips to support raytracing and raytracing-based games will be released and they will look completely mind-blowing.
I've found Google Compute Engine decent, but with App Engine I ran into difficulties with vendor lock-in. I had to first modify my code to get the app run on my local computer. After that I never got it deployed because GAE requires me to bind their own TCP context for outbound connections. This was a shame because I would have wanted to have my app on GAE and database on Heroku.

Just saying that calling 90% of Google Cloud's products to be far better than AWS (or any equivalent provider for that matter) is bold.
There's http://www.azulsystems.com/products/vega/processor, which is a CPU with special GC instructions, created by the same company as one of the most sophisticated garbage collectors. Apparently they thought they could speed things up with specialized hardware. Not sure what the performance looks like in practice, but it is interesting that it exists...
I lived there and although I left for other reasons, the weather is not as bad as people say. Very mild, stays light "later" into the night (although it gets light later in the morning) due to being on the west edge of a time zone. Depending on where you live you may want to give it a shot.
In the article it's written that the yubikey is tamper proof.

This is not the case. They report their product as tamper evident but not tamper proof.
Is it possible to set up a mirror of debian core repositories that do use cumulative diff, so that end users can use that repository instead?

I'd be happy to try and configure/host such a thing if there's no difficulties.

Here's the problem: once you allow ascribing a particular laudatory quality to a certain group, you HAVE to concede that certain groups have bad qualities. That is, unless group qualities are only good, a claim for which there is no evidence whatsoever.

So... Gujaratis have an ethic of capitalistic success. Are you also comfortable saying Blacks have an ethic of failure, Jews have an ethic of in-group morality, Gypsies have an ethic of stealing, and so on? If you are not, then you are arbitrarily imposing a limit that qualities assigned to a group must only be good. If you are, congratulations! You are now racist.
So in your analogy what about the guy who wants a dollar bill but because of he lives outside the United States can't "go out and actually work to earn a real dollar bill"?
Does anyone here have experience with / an opinion about the Ford C-Max? We're about to enter the new car market and are pitting the Volt against it and the Prius. (The new 2016 Prius is so ugly, though, that it's starting to fall off our radar.)
Yeah I can tell you've now learnt enough of the language to judge it at all... Or perhaps not at all! http://docs.perl6.org/type/Channel Though supplies with react/whenever is a lot more exciting than channels.
Hi all. This project isn't really _ready_ yet, but I'm happy to answer questions.

I actually wrote some more stuff yesterday, but since it's on HN... just deployed it anyway. I was on a long bus ride home from my parents' house, and didn't have any internet, so there's a bunch of notes to fill things out and double check stuff... I have some stuff to do today, but am hoping to clean that up by tonight.

Here's a sort of synopsis: there's been a lot of really great stuff going on in the Rust OSDev space lately, and I managed to get my own little OS going, with a VGA driver and keyboard input. You can see that source here: https://github.com/intermezzOS/kernel/tree/original_backup

But then I realized that one of the reasons I've struggled a lot here in the past was the lack of tutorials. And I love writing. Christmas three years ago was when I discovered Rust, started writing about it, and is why I have the job I do today. So I decided this break that I'd embark on another project...

I really, truly think that many high-level programmers could do operating systems development if there were more resources that catered to them. Hence this project. Once it's got some polish, I hope that someone who has learned programming through JavaScript can follow along and have their own little OS too.
i might've misunderstood the intent of your post, but i think one is headed for a life of unnecessary emotional pain -- and a stunted career trajectory -- if one responds to people with 'wrath' whenever 'your courtesy is not returned'.

some alternatives i'd suggest:
- persuasion
- magnanimity
- disengagement
The Gen 2 Voltec drivetrain has two motor/generators, two planetary gearsets, an abundance of clutches and the ICE. This allows the system to be used in five distinct drive modes ( http://gm-volt.com/2015/02/20/gen-2-volt-transmission-operat... ). The all-electric range increase is proportionally greater than the battery capacity increase because the new drive system uses two-motor drive mode more often than the first gen drive system.
Google Fiber doesn't deploy in any city that imposes build-out requirements, which compromises the universal service constraint. Build out requirements are also why my building and a couple of others have FIOS but nobody else does here in Baltimore. Verizon tried to build it, but the city wouldn't let it pick and choose which neighborhoods.

Google has also stated that Fiber is a way to shame ISP's into building fiber. It's not clear that an independent company that didn't have synergestic internet businesses would undertake the same capital investment.
I think in this case I could have interchanged "terrible" with "enterprise" and it would've had a more ""correct"" meaning (seriously I wish I could keep adding quotes to all of that...). I had to fight and argue with the previous host (Rackspace) to get them to lower our prices. It also took weeks to deploy a server. Now it takes 5-25 seconds with a prebuilt AMI that I've cooked together, deployed on exactly the hardware that I want, with the network configuration that I setup, and the security rules (bi-directional! Rackspace firewall only offers inbound at the level we had) that I want/need. On top of this, to get lower prices, I open a ticket and say "Hello, I'll be needing this server for 1 year, lower prices please." No phone calls involved. I'm not trying to diss Rackspace, they seem to be doing a lot of cool things... I simply had a permanantly sour taste left in my mouth. AWS is a big juicy BBQ sandwich in comparison.

On your points about AWS itself I'm not going to argue with as they certainly are valid, however in my specific setup (everything production is c4/r3 types, 1tb gp2 volumes as all volumes, and running network benchmarks to ensure everything is properly sized) I've actually had a pretty big performance gain over dedicated servers in a DMZ behind a hardware firewall.

With regards to the bandwidth, it seems a common issue is when you have very chatty services (Apache Kafka) deployed across multiple AZ's the bill gets real big real fast. Thus far, we're not even cracking 3-digits in bandwidth monthly. Maybe we're simply not at a scale to notice these problems yet.

I live in Japan. If it's worse in the USA then wow, I can't imagine how bad it is.

Their plastic drawers are the worst among every brand I've tried. Their modular wire shelves are so flimsy they might has well be called disposable.
Nobody has mentioned this, but possibly relevant is the issue of lawsuits:

If a class-action is brought against an Uber, it can be sued out of existence (think like a major case that affects their publicity and kills the business).

Even though a local government can become bankrupt, it doesn't happen quite that often. It is also easier to police a small subset of bus/train drivers and register a known subset of taxi-drivers than having to manage a work-force of in-out ride-sharing drivers.

Ride-sharing also doesn't seem that efficient, as I've never read/heard of an awesome/PR+ story of Uber/Lyft reducing the traffic congestion in New York/London (known as congested cities).
If anything distributing Linux software is leaps and bounds ahead of any of system. Just apt-get/yum or whatever your distro uses and you get the app all installed, configured, files tracked. Easily updated.

And making a package from a source tarball is as easy as checkinstall.
In other news, a massive fusion reactor has been found near the earth that periodically releases uncontrollable bursts of energy and radiation.
