I'd start out by looking at the OVH offerings, Kimsufi (a part of OVH) has dedis starting from $5 a month in both NA and EU.

You can get a cheap "High Availability" setup for $10 with servers on two different continents.

Oh, and the bandwidth is free. (Although, 100mbit.) You can max that line 24/7 for a month and pay nothing more than $5, on linode that costs twice as much that'd cost $600 just for the bandwidth.

If you need something beefier than Kimsufi, OVH also has their mid-range brand soyoustart (https://www.soyoustart.com/us/essential-servers/) with prices starting at $42 that'll just completely destroy any similarly priced cloud offerings.

I'm only focusing on OVH here because they're IMO as the biggest provider in this market they're also the safest choice. Leaseweb and Voxility might be worth checking out too.

Quick disclaimer: I'm not currently an OVH customer (their DC locations don't fit my use case) nor am I in any way affiliated with them.
Since there seems to be a lot of Ayn Rand articles lately, you might be interested in the excellent 3 part series by Adam Curtis called "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace".

It includes a segment on Ayn Rand, including segments from that interview, but also lots of really interesting interviews with silicon valley folks from the 90s, to high-freq stock market trading and "ecosystems".

I'd like to see someone _debug_ a regex with 100 capturing groups.
I don't know an article, but the overall situation is pretty straightforward to understand.

The original Haskell strings were linked lists of characters. This was simple and elegant and worked well with the functional programming approach of the time (1980s, by the way, so maybe Haskell in its origins isn't quite so modern as you think). Nobody was much concerned about high performance string operations in Haskell at the time.

Inevitably, later people wanted to add more performant string types. But should they be lazy or strict? And do you want an abstract representation of Unicode, or do you want something more immediately suitable for arbitrary binary data? Enter four more string types. And now here we are with 5 string types in common use.
What's the difference?

Supportive of what? Her overt racism? This seems like nothing more than a hateful and racist stance.

Look, I actually speak differently on this website than I do in real life. In real life, I use a lot of slang and Spanglish. Im aware of the monoculture you're talking about. But to me, it was always a nerd/geek monoculture, not a white one. I guess now that you and others have forced me to think that it's a homogenous white male culture, I subconsciously think that to.
On the one hand, it deserves to be shut down. On the other, its loss would be bad for the community due to lack of nearby hospital capacity and competition.

It's stupid that we now have this idea of competing hospitals. It's a competition to the most efficient lowest common denominator cost wise yet maximalized cash cow.

Seriously. Stay healthy. Stay away from doctors. Stay away from hospitals. (Family full of doctors who always say this.)
A simple gloss of the shooter's Facebook would have showed a rabid sympathizer for anti-American terrorists and a strong support of violence against civilians. The FBI can' be assed to check Facebook, but they want access to all our encryption to stop terrorists?

And the Boston bombers had been specifically pointed out to US law enforcement by more than one foreign intelligence agency, and they made no move to stop them.

Saying they need more power to surveil us is just ludicrous given they ignore in your face public data, or credible tips already.
Compilation copyrights exist and are very light copyrights.
The viability of their claim i sadly can't talk about[1], but i can tell you what it would actually protect is very small. It's basically only what they add to it (and they must add something to have a valid compilation copyright). To quote the copyright act:

"The copyright in a compilation or derivative work extends only to the material contributed by the author of such work, as distinguished from the preexisting material employed in the work, and does not imply any exclusive right in the preexisting material. The copyright in such work is independent of, and does not affect or enlarge the scope, duration, ownership, or subsistence of, any copyright protection in the preexisting material."

So yeah.

[1] Sorry. Once legal things that have an impact on the company i work for reach a certain point, I can no longer safely discuss them. I can tell you what the copyright act says, which is:

A “compilation” is a work formed by the collection and assembling of preexisting materials or of data that are selected, coordinated, or arranged in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship. The term “compilation” includes collective works.

I'll let others be the judge of whether what they do by compiling things into binaries meets the minimum standards to create an original work of authorship.
I think all the chrome sockets with the Craftsman brand are still unlimited lifetime warranty.

In any case, I also noticed the downward shift in quality of Craftsman tools, corresponding with the time that the contract manufacturer was switched and a lot of production went offshore. Fortunately, I'd already mostly switched to buying second-hand SnapOn hand tools, and I have to say that while I was generally happy with the old USA Craftsman tools, I wish I'd have switched to SnapOn earlier.

The ratchets in particular are night-and-day better, IMO. Do yourself a favor and try one of the nice common SnapOn ratchets (a T72/TL72 or an F80). They're quite a bit more pleasurable to use, IMO. SnapOn stuff holds its value pretty well, which means it often gets pawned or sold when a mechanic goes out of business. I have bought maybe 5% of my SnapOn stuff new; most has been second/third hand and it's just as good and 30-40% the price.

I think you should simplify the service and make it strictly about fixing bugs in small programs. Why: because information is essentially perceived as worthless by the majority and almost any question a person could hope to ask is already one Google search or Stackoverflow question away from being answered. This pervasiveness of information contributes to the assumption that a person is entitled to it all for free (and that the person producing it ought to do it for free) - which is one of the main reasons businesses models built on content are so shitty.

"Please help me fix a very specific bug that's only in this one implementation in this current universe" is a lot easier to monetize than "please teach me how a for loop works." See what I mean?
Yes, if the TSA had stopped a single terrorist, they'd be at least stating a number, if not the facts. Given they won't even give a ball park number is pretty good evidence it is a big fat zero like all the investigative journalism has found. Not like organizations like the TSA can keep a secret.

Because books speak of books, as with the manuscript, which is a letter about a book about a book about another book, until at the lowest level the story speaks of even more lost works, whose ideas survive through the hand of a scribe who does not understand them. And the burning of the library becomes a burning bush, releasing not destroying knowledge, for it is the light that matters.

That's not what I was asking. I was asking: Does armed security, or, for that matter, armed police make for fewer such cases.

There are places where security guards and police do without guns in normal duties. Perhaps it's, at least in part, because policing and security sets the tone, that they have to do more deescalation before drawing a gun, that they have less violence.

[EDIT:] Has anyplace ever become more safe by putting more guns in the hands of armed security and police?
I never used wine too much but lately have been utilising it with the playonlinux configuration front-end (hint: games for kids) and it's great. I will also test next week one of Minolta's Windows only colorimetric drivers. Right now, even virtual box didn't do well and we have to use separate box just for the spectrometers.
i have a lot of friends who are recovering meth addicts and so when i first read ayn rand's atlas shrugged and came across john galt's ridiculous 60 page monologue (and no, i did not elect to read it word for word, you are a fucking moron if you do), my first suspicion, not knowing anything about her background yet, was that this sounded like someone high on amphetamines. sure enough, with a little research, i found that she was on benzos the entire time she was writing atlas shrugged. once i saw this interview with the shifty eyes i was convinced. she's tweaked out of her mind. to be clear, i think atlas shrugged is a significant work of art, but i also think parts of it are just the ramblings of someone high on speed, and i'll be damned if i'm going to read all of it.
I have read all of Eco's novels and enjoy his work very much. Other authors I like are Borges, Calvino, and Mulisch.
Network is not something you get overnight. It may take years of strategic planning to achieve.

I would say networking is less about meeting people and more about building a reputation. Commenting here on HN is one way to build that reputation. You can get go to meet ups to meet people, but giving talks is how you get reputation. The same applies to conferences. At work, especially in larger companies, you can build reputation as experts in one particular technology, lead brown bag sessions to demonstrate that expertise.

You sometimes notice other people that have good network. It's also important to stand out in front of these people to get second degree connections. If you also have good network, these people would gladly be your best friend.

It's called EMDR:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement_desensitization_a...

The World Health Organization recommends it as treatment for PTSD.

You can practice it right now on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlfQIRJEsYk

The idea is to think of something emotional that you may be struggling with and keep it in your mind while following the images on the screen. Whether or not the eye movement actually triggers the brain to reconfigure itself, or whether it's simply keeping the emotion "in focus" that brings the changes remains TBD, I think.
> Office, though it doesn't work with WINE.

That's news to me as I happen to run office through wine :)

You need to use office 2010 32bit (newer doesn't work) with a 32bit winearch, but apart from that it installs fine using the standard MS installer, no tweaks or hacks, and integrates perfectly into the x desktop with file associations and launcher controls and everything.

A commie here. I actually liked Atlas a lot. It still inspires me to do work, rather than sit on my ass. For that I recommend it to people. It is great in that.

No so much in 'honest - then, and only then - capitalist' part.

Long speeches never bothered though - you can always skip them, because you kinda know what they are talking about for 10 pages.
Sorry to be pedantic, but benzos are not amphetamines and have almost the opposite behavioral effects. They're sedative and would make it much harder to write anything at all.

In the case of my ex-wife, it was fairly stealthy. My ex-wife was (and probably is) desperate for approval. So anyone she doesn't "have" in her circle of people who accept her, she will bend over backwards to please. Before I was her husband, I was one of those people. She wanted to make me happy so that I would make her my wife. However, once she has that approval, it ends. The closer you are to her, the less effort she will make. That seems backward to me.

I also dated another severely selfish woman. In that relationship it was much like the sibling poster mentions. There were high expectations of me, but even minor expectations of her resulted in her playing the victim or making lame nonsensical excuses. There was no reciprocity, zero respect, and no concern for the relationship as its own entity.

What both these women had in common was a desperation for approval and attention from others. This need was so large that I could not possibly fill it and I was ultimately made to feel that I was only a giver of attention and a tool to aid in the acquisition of more attention from strangers.

This type of thing is very obvious to me now, but when I met my ex-wife I was much younger and pretty clueless about women in general.

'Modern' art is art made from ~1870 to ~1970 (an oversimplification). 'Contemporary' art just means art made in the present time.
Modern Art includes Picasso, Van Gough, etc. Wikipedia says it ended in the 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_art

Contemporary means happening right about now.
The DOJ had a chance to make that detail clear in their filing to the court, and they did not. It's hard to believe that was an unintentional omission. The judge will probably wag a finger at them -- although in the previous case in October they stonewalled and pissed off the judge royally but still won.

You might have noticed that I never actually said "slave trade". Because that's only a small part of it. Slavery in the America goes considerably beyond the triangle trade, etc., discussed in social studies classes. Consider the enslavement and exploitation of the Taino in Hispaniola in the sixteenth century, for example, or the literal thousands of enslaved Inca and the various tribes often collectively known as the Aztecs. I mean, what do you think "Indian convert" units really are?

I am not unsympathetic to the notion of addressing publishing concerns. I'm fully aware that the designers of the game were aware of this; if you read the (very good!) manual, there are nods there. But enslavement and exploitation of native peoples (as well, of course, as Africans) is literally-literally central to the story of European colonization of the Americas. It is inescapable. I tend to think, despite my nostalgic fondness for Colonization, that if you can't get a game published that's honest about this sort of thing, maybe you shouldn't make it at all. (This is why I abandoned my own attempt at a derivative of Colonization: because I couldn't make the mechanics work and still be honest and respectful towards the subject matter.)

Presumably the incident where the crazed lady stabbed the (unarmed) security guards could have been prevented by tazering her. Having practiced (simulated) knife combat, I'd certainly consider a long range weapon to be more effective than grappling.

If you are charged with protecting people from a crazy lady with a knife, would you turn down the tazer or gun? (If you believe it doesn't improve your odds of survival, you of course would.)

Given that many of these crazy people incidents happen away from security guards, it's hardly clear that "policing and security sets the tone". The US is just a highly violent place.

True. Oh well, maybe another reader will find that information useful

Not everyone's individual rights. I didn't see Scalia standing up for my right to do what I want with my female body, for instance. (I know the counterargument is that fetal rights are more important, but then the fact remains: not my rights.)

Scalia also didn't think that women were protected from discriminatory laws under the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment (interview in California Lawyer, 2011).

I just have to conclude he thought some individuals (and corporations) were more equal -- and have more rights -- than others.

Nacchio is saying Apple is going to lose, and that he fears they will retaliate against Apple. But he's not saying Apple is wrong to push back. He's saying Apple picked the wrong case to fight.

I feel that people who watch child porn and find it appealing rather than repulsive - qualifies you as a pedophile in my book. It's certainly a lesser crime than actual sexual assault of a child. But watching sexual assault for enjoyment and trading in these videos is still a crime. The term pedophile fits just fine as far as I'm concerned.
