That's an important point. To be clear, the article also reaches this conclusion:

> Of course, like a swagger, the signal is not so much the tantum itself as the fact that someone can get away with it.

It also links to a paper[1] about NBA players that deals with this phenomenon. Here's the abstract:

> Casual empiricism suggests that celebrities engage in more anti-social and other socially unapproved behavior than non-celebrities. I consider a number of reasons for this stylized fact, including one new theory, in which workers who are less substitutable in production are enabled to engage in greater levels of misbehavior because their employers cannot substitute away from them. Looking empirically at a particular class of celebrities - NBA basketball players - I find that misbehavior on the court is due to several factors, including prominently this substitutability effect, though income effects and youthful immaturity also may be important.

"Should my business be required to shell out $15/hr for a high school kid, when the value of his/her labor is way less than that?"

Yes. Otherwise why would you hire the someone who actually does need to live on that wage?
There's ups and downs to Hue. If you recall earlier they tried axing out support for third party bulbs from their app. But they also deserve some kudos for basing their app and devices on a open platform to begin with.
This is about authenticating consumers of an API, not end users. So while your wish is nice, it's a non sequitur here.
Exactly the first use case that came to my mind. Exciting times ahead :-)
An entry level model S has a ~360hp engine, so 0.2 MW

A million of those cars is 200,000 MW

Amdahl's law: when optimizing performance, target the largest consumer first. And in this case the engine is the largest, by at least 5 orders of magnitude

It would save much more electricity educating people to drive less aggressively and use less braking than to remove the sensors
> if you spend your year's stipend on a week in a Hilton suite

Most countries pay benefits on a weekly/monthly basis. Perhaps not to avoid this precise scenario, but simply to aid budgeting.

You're right to say that some people might blow all their welfare cheque in one go. In the UK, that was at one point mitigated by paying housing benefit (the largest part of welfare) directly to the landlord, which at least minimised the chances of the tenant being evicted for not paying rent. That however has changed not that long ago, and a lot of other protections have also been withdrawn.

I think UBI is a good idea, but I also think it could use some protections to address issues that might be faced by more vulnerable claimants.
Well, what is better, or more desirable? A high school student earning some gas money, or someone else getting that job and supporting themselves?

Well, in case of mutt, it's just reading email from a local maildir. That is, a MUA (mail user agent) in it's own jargon.

Mostly everything else is outsourced. Composing is done by your $EDITOR, sending is done by an external program, fetching email by an external program too. Even indexing and querying is usually outsourced to a modern xapian-based tool, like mu or notmuch.

This leads to powerful composable workflows.

If the spec is open then it should be possible for a fancy lab to verify that the hardware is manufactured to spec, right? So if you have it manufactured in Taiwan but then have random samples verified by labs in the US, Japan and Europe, defectors could be detected. Then the manufacturer would have to risk destroying their business by getting caught inserting a backdoor.

Rust is iron oxide. The project namers weren't thinking about astrophysics. If you fuse iron, you wind up with less energy than you had before.
Depends how well converged OSes start to take the main stage. If Windows gets a lot of traction with it (more likely than Ubuntu, to be honest), it could be one of those things where Google being two years ahead of the game would've helped. I see what Microsoft is doing today, and thinking "THIS was why I was so excited about Android when 3.0/4.0/etc. came out."

And considering the stumbles the ad market, their primary business, is having, being a strong device platform provider, which they've already shown they can monetize (outside of ads, Android is probably their next most profitable space), is really key.

There are ways to deal with that. "Yeah, whatever" can help. Pull out your phone and take a video. Divert your attention, and the attention of others, to something other than the person having the tantrum. This can be useful in negotiations.
I don't see where you believe there is a "checken-and-egg problem." You do not need to know how to repair Teslas in order to invest $3000 a year in a Tesla service manual. All you need is $3000 and the expectation that you'll be able to put the things you learn from the manual into practice.

<Hoping no-one runs "w" while I'm in elinks>
It isn't really a matter of finding a specific dollar value but instead determining if the investment (a new worker) will result in a revenue increase that exceeds the cost of the new investment (ROI: return on investment).

This is what it means to run a business, to ask and answer that question and act upon the answer. If you answer correctly in a sufficient number of instances, your business succeeds and you are profitable. If you answer incorrectly in too many instances, your business fails.

A minimum wage puts a floor on labor costs and that will be an added constraint in the business model. For some business models, that added constraint may make the business unworkable. For others it may mean that prices need to be adjusted, or the number of workers and/or the type of worker hired needs to be changed. Perhaps it means changing the hours the business is open to manage staff costs. Maybe it means purchasing a machine to eliminate a worker because now the machine is cheaper than the worker whereas before that wasn't the case.

If you have an opportunity to talk to a small business owner that employees part-time, close to minimum wage workers, ask them what they have already done to adjust and what they intend to do. The affordable care act has already forced many employers to cut hours to their part-time workers to avoid the extra fees that kick in at 30 hours. Many employers will implement changes to their staffing long before the actual minimum wage change kicks in. This is called "running a business", which means planning ahead.

Not sure where you get this "100 devices per square meter" again.

Even if it was 10+ devices per person (which is at best 3 or 4), there are hardly more than 1 or 2 persons per square meter still.

And across floors there are one or several meters of empty space -- above people's heads and before the ceiling.

Middle men always drive prices higher as they need their cut, part of the reason (besides taxes) that Apple hardware costs so much more in India. Also, Apple cannot provide the service that they do in other countries.

There are many unlicensed apple stores in China, I live right next to one, but they do not have a pricing advantage compared to the Apple store, so why not just buy there?

Right -- No one disputes that Putin has been associated with all kinds of unseemly stuff. It's just that, at this juncture, there nothing beyond pure speculating tying him to Mikhail Lesin's untimely demise.

In other words: "He's a bad guy you know -- he's capable of anything" isn't, in my book, sufficient reason to believe that he was actually involved somehow.
Thanks again; very interesting stuff, and I feel like my understanding of the concept here is quite a bit better now. It'd make a good blog post, I think. (I'm probably the only person seeing this convo).

It's a great skill to be able to explain pretty complex topics in "layman's" terms; I don't think I'm alone in having the experience of posing a question to an expert, getting a jargon-heavy answer that takes 30min of Googling to parse (or a condescending one that assumes I'm unfamiliar with basic CS concepts), and left feeling foolish for asking. So kudos to you! :)
His retelling of the incident in which he stole 50 horses from some SS officers was especially memorable.
Apple HomeKit works without cloud services. It is entirely local with your phone, mac, iPad etc directly interacting with the devices. I'm sure some of the individual devices from partners may leverage cloud services but I have yet to purchase a device that requires it. The only "cloud" aspect is if you want remote access to your devices an AppleTV can act as a proxy/gateway that let's you control your device from the internet rather than the local network. The eco-system is a hot mess at the moment but the basic design is well thought out.

Which was after JDK 1.0. The JVM was originally implemented as a bytecode interpreter; Sun licensed the Symantec JIT compiler later for 1.1, then eventually added HotSpot several years after 1.0, derived from Smalltalk technology.

The original design of the JVM was for embedded systems, not for running server applications with heaps in the 10s of GB of memory.

The threading model, which allows for near arbitrary sharing of memory, is still a significant source of complexity for both the JIT and the GC and has changed multiple times since the JVM's inception.

Modern JVM implementations have little to do with the original design, but still have to deal with design decisions made 20 years ago for completely different architectures and with only limited foresight.
I can understand where the author is coming from, and it's sad that more people here don't seem to get it. There are few things that evoke people's primal instincts, the way foreign invasions do. Especially one involving a foreign occupier belonging to a completely different ethnicity, language and culture. We're literally talking about a Millenia long history where warring empires in both the Christian west and Islamic east would set aside their differences and launch crusades against one another. I'm sure many in the Arab world have no problems with engaging with America diplomatically, or economically. I'm sure activists like Ahmed welcome American efforts to facilitate and amplify the efforts of local activists. But they would react to a western invasion of Iraq the same way we would react to a Chinese invasion of America. With tribal defensiveness.

Sutherlands micropipeline and most (all?) the other clock-less approaches, are fundamentally racy and depends on a difficult timing analysis to determine that the latch is slow enough. What makes NCL so interesting IOM is that it is guaranteed to work timing-wise by construction. This also means that it is tolerant to changes in logic time, which means it circuits can tolerate a wider range of voltage swings (= can save power). (The gate construction has to satisfy a trivial timing requirement, but it's local to the gate, not the complete circuit).

The obvious drawback of NCL is that it uses quite a few more transistors than the equivalent circuit in traditional clocked implementation and tooling is weak or non-existing.

Personally I see throwing a tantrum is something a kid does. If an adult does it, it just seems immature. I've seen executives throw tantrums at their underlings and of course get away with it. However in doing so I'm pretty sure they do lose the respect of a lot of people, at least they lose mine. It may be a cultural thing though.

Attribution is a fine line; removing the attribution from where it was in the template and plastering "All Rights Reserved" copyright over it is a very clear violation of the creative commons license.

In some situations, it's difficult to place attribution along with the media, but in this case, it's not - it's a webpage - and having the attribution be in the source code is not really acceptable, because it's not reasonably accessible for someone looking for it.

If you look at that page and only that page, what leads you to believe that this is built of off a CC-BY work? Nothing. Sure, you can add "for copyright and license information, visit this link" in the footer, with a link to the github readme page that has the attribution, but removing it all together and only leaving scraps of it in the source code is just careless, reckless misuse of the original author's work.
DRM has nothing to do with preventing copying. I'm surprized some still assume that's the reason it's used.
It's not just tantrums. It's a huge variety of status-reinforcing behaviours which symbolically or actually make the lower-status person uncomfortable in favour of the higher-status person.

Even something like having an entrepreneur stand and present in front of a group of seated money men. They sit in judgement of him, they are comfy and he stands, they relax and he works and struggles to please them.

Or, when bosses make weird symbolic work demands that don't actually make sense. Sometimes there's the idea that they're just looking out for the product and are wrong about something, but there's also often an element of 'I sense some disturbance in the status hierarchy so I'm going to make you do this task we both know is useless just because I say so to remind you that I can'.

Or 'I'm going to be unreasonable to demonstrate that I can'.

Or 'I'm not going to give this question the think-time it really needs; to demonstrate my superior value I'll save myself five minutes while costing you two days to remind everyone that I'm above you'.

A lot of this is subconscious. The people with the power don't always do it intentionally, thinking "I'm going to signal status today." It's just what feels good and intuitive to them, so they execute these status-signalling behaviours without conscious intent.
At this level, there are a few issues:

1. potential reputation and organisational damage that such a person can bring to an organisation without carefully managing the situation;

2. in a company as big as Google (and frankly, one that is doing as well as Google!) it may take quite a lot of time to truly uncover the damage that a person is doing to an organisation, especially if that person is on good terms with upper management;

3. At a high enough level of management in a big enough company, lawyers and professional negotiators can wangle some amazingly good terms into the manager's contract. This can make it exceptionally tricky to remove this person quickly, or even move them sideways (if you move someone sideways, then you change their authority on a variety of things, which almost certainly changes their job description and thus their contract. This goes double if you demote them, even for the same money).

I can't speak for anything going on at Google of course, but I guess I can speculate that it might have been a combination of all three of these things. Which is utter speculation, so feel free to duly assign it the value that you feel it is worth :-)

The Mt. Palomar instrument is also equitorial, as is a Russian telescope of similar design that is somewhat larger.

"Тока" is a misspelling of "только" which you frequently encounter because in fast speech, that "ль" doesn't get pronounced.

Sometimes, it's deliberate; the writer is going for the effect of transcribing colloquial speech - like in English, you might write "innit" instead of "isn't it" to render a casual spoken conversation.

And sometimes, it's a sign of a illiteracy - like in English, when people write "should of" instead of "should have" because it sounds the same and they don't know any better.
I don't know if I agree with the pirating business (I don't do this) but certainly I don't think it's unethical to bypass geoblocking which I find borderline racist - and definitely greedy in the worst sense of the word.
As time goes on, current repair technicians at Tesla will leave the company, and some of them may be interested in servicing Tesla vehicles. They'll have all the baseline knowledge and training that they need; this provides them with the ongoing access they'd need to perform their jobs.

That's what happened in the incident that ended up with the pilot successfully landing on the Hudson River. He lost both engines going through a flock of geese.
Do you have any further details on what you lost? Very curious - especially to know if it would be considered a bug or design flaw somewhere in the program itself, or a feature mismatch between MySQL and PostgreSQL.
That would be far too provable and suspicious, since it'd have to be done 24/7 and would rule out the heisenbug route.

If you were to do such a thing, you'd do it by making the machine overclock itself too much occasionally (after the 'artificial use-by date' has passed, thereby incurring physical damage at random intervals. Although really, it would be easy to do without blob, too, if you're doing the design of the physical chip.
