This article reminds me of an essay I wrote: "When there are too many administrators, which ones do you fire?" (http://jakeseliger.com/2015/10/16/when-there-are-too-many-ad...). Everyone likes to decry the growth of administrators, but very few of us (including me) have concrete plans about which specific administrators we'd like to pare.

Are we talking about the same Medium post? The one where Yarvin spends a couple very short paragraphs talking about his functional programming work, and then over fifty talking about how his racial supremacist views deserve more respect because he got messed with in high school?

How to Downgrade from iOS 9.3.1 to iOS 9.3 or iOS 9.2.1 – iOS jailbreak
Here is a slide deck that goes into greater detail on the architecture. Speaks more to design choices and PULP project goals:

Though they're common to the area, these underground storage facilities are interesting places. They're large enough to drive semi-trucks through. One notable client has tons of old movie memorabilia (scripts, costumes, set pieces, film, etc.). They're also a common place for small data centers and digital archives.
Slack is
a) free
b) easily accessible

All the slack companies I know use the free tier (even public listed companies!). If it's free and good, why not use it?
The "every direction" bit is actually something autonomous cars handle far better than humans since they can have eyes pointing in every direction. The hard part is noticing that someone waiting at a crosswalk wants you to stop so they can cross.
Somethings have improved (the Tribal Community College system), and some things haven't or have gotten worse (Indian Health Service). The DoD money that helped build some industry dried up with the defense cuts in the 90's and never came back. Also, it probably doesn't help that certain institutions of higher learning don't recruit from the tribal schools and then give scholarships meant for Native Americans to non-natives (proof of tribal enrollment is quite easy to get). Also, some of the federal districts will not bring charges against non-natives who commit robbery on the reservation, and at the same time will not do the due diligence in investigating native-on-native crimes.

Enforcing the rules, continued support of the expansion of tribal colleges, understanding state money rarely gets to tribes regardless of what the bill says, and actually funding the healthcare might be a nice step forward. Please note, whatever your opinion on the PPACA, it excludes tribes (yes, I read the whole bill). Also, understanding that no bank is going to loan money for housing on a reservation and doing something at the federal level might be a nice thing.

There are some amazing bright spots, but the northern plains is a bit far from them.
What do you guys use as ad blockers on mobile? I use chrome on an android and it seems that I would need to switch to FF in order to have adblocking?

A compromise for IBM might be to release old iterations of the ISA under liberal licensing terms like RISC-V or SPARC. Throw in open release of blueprints 5 years after first printout and I'd be fine with that as our collective target for free and open computing going forward.
I once had a car that didn't work at all when it was below about 32 or above about 70.

Curiously they left off "rolleyes"
> people actually like to drive

This does not appear to be true, do you have any research?

> road safety could be improved way better with other improvements (better education, harsher fines, lowering and enforcing speed limits)

This also does not appear to be true. It's like saying humans can get better than computers at Go if you push them hard enough. And we know that's false.

> environmental impact decreased by moving away from motorized transportation etc.

While i agree, i can point out that a self-driving car will mean less cars (as it can be shared), so it will be more environmental efficient than private ownership of cars.
Also, at the beginning of this process, did they know that what they wanted as an end product was an iPad running an app that made an arrow point left/right?

Or did they have a problem they wanted solved, and specing out a way to do it, was just one part of the job? Because often, the output of the contracts I work on, is the just the final step of testing out many possible solutions or version, and actually shipping the one the client finally agreed to.

Consider the news of the Model 3 this week. There is no reason POWER8 cannot follow a similar trajectory, start with the Roadster equivalent $4k luxury workstation, move down to the performance desktop around $1500, and then release the mass market mobile / integrated board at $300 that can still go head to head with x86.
Poly1305 also fails if nonces are repeated. If you want reuse resistance, I'd rather go for something boring like encrypt-then-HMAC than a polynomial based MAC.
Just a note, it looks like this data comes from Mernis(1), a project with quite bad history, developed in 90's and launched in 2000 and internet access started in 2002.

I know a bit about government IT departments and contractors at the time and I had zero faith in their competence so this breach is no surprise to me. Current government is no different than is predecessors, just business as usual.

Even if the ME was opened, the chips themselves are complex enough that nearly anything could be hidden. State machines that enable backdoors from instruction sequences can be pretty small (triggering these from a preferred vector, such as a web browser, seems hard-ish though).

Isn't "20 minutes or you get $20" out of their hands? I thought all baggage handling was completed by airport contractors, not by the airlines. Is Alaskan putting their faith in these employees?
Not true. I've always driven RWD and have competed in National Amateur racing events with the SCCA (and taught high performance driving techniques at my local club).

I setup my cars with a heafty amount of rear toe-in (1/4"). When the weight transfers left/right or one of the rear wheels hits a bump/hole it will push the car in one direction similar to torquing one side of a shopping cart with your hand.

A RWD setup allows the car to be more efficient with its tires (using one set for turning and one for power vs. one for both). FWD is just seen as safer because most people panic when a car oversteers. As the saying goes among driving enthusiasts: "Oversteer scares passengers, Understeer scares drivers"

5 Reasons You Should Build a Small Business -- Not a Start-Up
A classical Kashmiri justification is classifying our exodus as a state sponsored one. However dear sir we made the journey. We should know something about the circumstance. Not the lies that you have been fed. In any case, my first person account should carry more weight?

You then move to justifying the forceful migration of Pandits as "What goes around, comes around". You do realise that this will be true for you as well?

In any case, my arguments will have no effect on you. So live on in your uber geek world.
While I agree with you, the average buyer of computer components is used to spending an order of magnitude less on a motherboard. A person can go to their usual source of computer parts and pick up a motherboard for a couple hundred USD at the high end. A few thousand USD for motherboard that does not offer an order of magnitude improvement in raw speed or expandability is going to be a very hard sell.
Is SPARC unpopular because of its power consumption?
Does anyone know how such a thing was pulled off? I mean, it is not like taking a paper clip from office. This is mind boggling amount of information - how can someone copy so much info and send it to a newspaper etc without setting off red flags? This is incredible.
I'm guessing Jacques lives in a large European city because this piece reads like someone who has absolutely no understanding of how a typical American uses an automobile. Land use, city planning, public transportation and highway management in Europe are all completely different from that of America, or specifically the United States. Accepting that you can't just give up your car, he then enumerates short comings of EVs that just don't add up.

The implication that simple lifestyle changes would enable most American's to do away with their automobiles is utterly ridiculous and demonstrates complete ignorance to the suburban environment surrounding all cities in the United States and other parts of America. If a large number of people did vacate the suburbs for the city, this would create a housing market crash in the suburbs that would draw just as many people out of the cities into the suburbs. Without revising land use policies in the United States, there's no way to support this. Just look at gun control polices if you need any more evidence of how ridiculous this notion is.

His argument that everyone will be charging their EVs at peak times and will overload the grid is ridiculous and completely ignores the fact that most people today are aware of peak vs off peak electricity rates and specifically charge their EVs during off peak hours to avoid paying higher rates. This is analogous to driving a few extra miles to save $.05/gallon on gas. People are cheap and won't do that for financial reasons.

He then goes on to make a number of points about the lack of charging infrastructure that would make EVs unfeasible but these completely ignore his first assertion that most people will be charging at home. More than 90%* of commuters have a commute of less than 36 miles one-way which means that only 2 EVs on market (i.e. Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Smart Electric Drive) would be unable to cover their daily commute. Which means that in most cases the need for charging stations would be radically diminished. Another thing to consider is that petrol stations exist in their current form because of regulator requirements around the storage of hazardous materials (i.e. petroleum products). There's no such restrictions around EV charging stations and in a world with 90%+ EVs it's not hard to imagine every parking spot having a charge station.

The assertion about vehicle maintenance being an issue is also equally ridiculous. He states that most EV systems will be unservicable at the average garage which is debatable. The power train will probably remain unserviceable but an EV's powertrain is significantly more reliable than your typical ICE. All of the other major and minor systems (i.e. drivetrain, environmental, braking, etc) in an EV are similar to those of an ICE vehicle and thus serviceable at a regular garage. Considering that most EVs will be daily commuters, the likelihood that you'll find yourself with a powertrain failure in a location where your EV can't be serviced is also highly unlikely.

You can use a hosts file that redirects all the domains that serve garbage to 127.0.0.1. If you have rooted your phone, at least. There are plenty of good lists available in forums. Like this, you remove ads system-wide, even in apps.
Theoretically one way to correct it is to have an external device that blocks network activity going in or out.

Yes, I realize you could get around this. The superblob could be a) looking for patterns in JPGs for input, and b) stenographically encoding output into...anything the user is doing.

Sigh. Nevermind.
Also, on mobile, the height changes with about every word rotation, which isn't pleasant.
Based on the video from Jamie, I would say yes, it is probably a fake. But that's just my thought.
It is. I have always been perplexed by the start. For the need, the cost and ultimately the trust required that it would even deliver. Let alone the quality!

I've been working on an idea for a while, autonomous police cars. They'll spot a criminal, pick them up and drive them to jail. It could save billions!
There was a (really bad) bug in one of our releases that did this. You must have connected then-- sorry. We're a small team moving fast and occasionally we screw up like this.

The boot ROMs on these things are proprietary, though. The vendors I've talked with have been extremely coy about what's in them (got an overview from Marvell once, spent a day looking at code on a projector screen and getting a walkthrough. They could have hidden much).
The net present value takes into account the difference between payment today and payment tomorrow.

The ex-dividend rate is an implementation flaw that makes the stock price discontinuous at the dividend date. If dividends were pro-rata it would not be.

I never said markets were perfectly efficient.

Good, because the point is to feel inspired. Do with what you got left what you can. With the world how it is, a life lived without causing pain to others is a damn fine legacy.
Until and unless something fundamental changes about batteries, sure. If you can figure out how to charge a battery at the same rate as filling up a gas tank, then that would qualify. If you can quadruple capacity, and therefore range, that would also qualify.

Right now and for the foreseeable future, EVs are a promising alternative to regular cars, but if everyone hops on board, the logistics will murder us.

EVs won't work until they're actually better than ICEs in every way. Not just some of the ways, all of them. Because only that will make the economics of replacing our entire gasoline-based infrastructure work.

Yeah, I'm apparently not the audience. Yeti seems to be doing well selling what are, to me, somewhat ridiculously expensive coolers but at least those are optimized for actually keeping stuff cold. The accessories on this thing are either gimmicks that I can see using once or twice because they're coo1--Make a frozen margarita at the beach!--or they're easily replicated with an inexpensive standalone speaker or whatever. (Indeed, there are also hand-cranked and battery-powered blenders for camping.)

I'd imagine people don't bother looking at an oracle technology and just assume it is closed or unsupported due to the ways they generally operate.

That doesn't make it right to do this, but that'd be my guess.

I certainly didn't know SPARC was open until your comment.
There are enough of them at many institutions that you could simply fire them at random.

If research publications or course hours taught (i.e., the things that are the actual purpose of the university) decrease after firing a particular administrator, hire that one back.

Nobody's friends constitute a perfectly random sample, but extended social networks are really good approximations of a random sample for questions like this.

Two interesting points: at least 3 people in the 75 had snowmobiles (the family of a college friend who lives in Alaska) -- but also, 0% ownership rate for snowmobiles is not a bad approximation of worldwide snowmobile ownership rate, depending on the application you're using the data for. There are a ton of applications of survey data where assuming a 0% worldwide ownership rate of snowmobiles would be a super useful and perfectly reasonable approximation. Then there are others, like say, running a snowmobile advertising campaign in Minnesota, where that 0% estimate would be terrible.

In fact, I would go a little further and say that for reasonably diverse sets of social connections, it would not be feasible to observe the effect you are saying (either a lot of people satisfy property X or none at all do) unless the property in question is extremely rare in general. Even thinking about connection data sets that are nearly perfectly clustered, like telephone connections in Belgium (which reveal structure based on whether the person speaks primarily French or primarily Dutch), it would be very, very uncommon to have zero opposite-language speakers in a 75-member sample of your network.

I definitely believe that a random batch of 75 connections on e.g. Facebook, for many people, would be perfectly adequate for getting a coarse, approximate sense of something like general interest in a mainstream tech product.

Will it have pitfalls -- of course, but absolutely no one is claiming otherwise. In fact, I am not even claiming the result is accurate. I am asking what data supports the hype over Echo. It's very strange to me that people are more interested in criticizing some openly-acknowledged-to-be-highly-inaccurate-yet-still-suggestive-of-anomaly ad hoc survey simply mentioned in a comment, rather than to actually ask what kind of data might empirically refute the sentiment of that survey.
So when the Readme says "Distributed KV Database", I'm imagining that it refers maybe to being able to be used by TiDB which provides the distributed logic, while TiKV concentrates on a compatible interface to TiDB and local non-distributed storage?
All existing SPARC hardware is very old at this point and has horrible energy efficiency and poor performance compared to the other options, including POWER8 and ARM.
You don't see a difference in whether or not you're breaking the law? Even if you believe that the law is disconnected from morality (not totally true, but more true than I would like), breaking the law still means that people with guns can put you in prison.

There's a real fundamental difference between having people look down at you as a conniving scoundrel who took advantage of the law, and being behind bars.
The ex-dividend date is an implementation flaw that makes the stock price discontinuous at the dividend date (I initially misunderstood this). However, in theory, a pro-rata dividend would be continuous.
