Actually, Gerrit really encourages growing a patchset ("pull request") into a complete feature. It allows you update your change over and over, addressing review comments as they come in.

Once done, you have a clean "Add support for use of XYZ by ABC" commit - and not a pile of half baked commits - I cringe when I see things like this: "Add framework for XYZ", "Define Config for XYZ", "Correct typos", "Add tests", "Rework XYZ to be standards compliant", "Correct typos", "Fix tests"

Long story short: Article blacklisting!
Iceland became independent in 1945[0]; in 1918 Iceland became a sovereign state under the rulership of the Danish king[1].

The Independence Party is center-right (very conservative for Iceland) and was formed in 1929 advocating for full independence of Iceland. They haven't changed their name since. It's been one of the four major political parties of Iceland since inception and more often then not the largest; every head of the party has been prime minister at some point (except the current one; that might change in the next week as they are in coalition with the just-resigned prime ministers party and there is a void to fill). In short you could say that they are pro-business and for smaller government. The overview here [2] is a good start, but you can go straight to the source here (english below) [3].

This one took me by surprise when I visited SF for the first time five years ago. I thought it would be booming with activity just like NYC, so I thought nothing of trying to find food when I arrived at ~11pm.

NOTHING. Nothing was open.

The problem is that at a certain level of government, you will have administrators who aren't technical experts and who have no interest in deferring to the opinions of technical experts.

Such folks just don't want to bother with the limitations that a secure system implies, even if such a system became much more featureful than the present ones. They want their Windows/Mac and probably want it for their work-groups.

It's not just a lack of technical know-how but a variety of psychological tendencies that stands against this. It's taken a long time for companies to develop UIs that people want to use but the existence of these "easy to UIs" is a barrier to any UI which requires even a small amount of training to use.

> If you're keeping score, our Model S is now on its third drive unit: the one that came with the car, the one that was replaced in November, and this latest one. And that wasn't the only thing that was replaced on this service visit.

This is when Edmunds replaced the drive unit twice. Look at the date, Feb 2014.

Later, in July 2014: http://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-s/2013/long-term-road-tes...

Yet another drive unit replacement. Their Tesla S went through four drive trains (the first one came with the car, and then three replacements) in two years.

Consumer Reports also had an issue with their long-term test.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/news/a27...

Consumer Reports is a survey methodology, as opposed to a single data-point like Edmunds. But the fact that reliability concerns are hitting the major, reputable, reviewers is worrisome to me.

This isn't JUST an Edmunds issue. Everyone is reporting reliability concerns. In part, its somewhat okay because Tesla the company stands behind their warranty and fixed the problems without issue. So as a consumer, you get excellent service.

On the other hand, dying in the middle of a highway and being forced to call a tow-truck is not an experience that should be common on a high-end luxury vehicle. The question is if Tesla has solved these issues in time for the Model 3 / mass market.

> and rent in San Francisco would have remained very reasonable, despite the rapid economic growth.

Nah. Manhattan is a really, really expensive (not as expensive as SF, though, on the average) city to live in. SF rents would have dropped, but not enough to cover the influx of people coming in. Rent prices probably would've dropped in other areas of the Bay though.
and the fact that they hold large amounts of CP -- which is the wording the prior post used -- is also verifiable fact.

I'm not even concerned that they hold it. Sometimes it's evidence. Sometimes it can be used to identify and rescue victims. Sometimes it just goes in a database and isn't ever accessed again. Meh.

The continued distribution is concerning, though I understand its purpose, and I presume there are reasonable safeguards in place such that the value in catching new suspects is higher than the harm done to the victims.
Ha. Yeah. I went to a tech talk that an ex-Tumblr engineer gave, he left New York and Tumblr for a job in SV with Facebook. He was talking about his new home and said something to the effect that "it was really strange to be in line at the grocery store and here the people in back of him talking about Redis." Ha ha ha.
Maybe op was referring to free customers that are rude, and impose big costs to you (way above the average support ticket).

But agreed, if I get bad support as a free customer, how can I know that the support will get any better if I start paying (except for services that sell support).
When I get an instant response to a question from a friendly support, I would say that I'm far more likely to upgrade to their paid server.
I'm not the original poster, but I'll tell you what I've done in the past which has worked fairly well. I put as much as I'm allowed to into an IRA for retirement and into my spouse's IRA, too. I max out the matching amount on my 401k. (Those 2 things alone ensure that I'm putting away 10-15% for retirement.) I do some additional short to medium-term investment in the stock market. Nothing too risky, but enough to hopefully beat inflation.

I also bought a few expensive toys that I really wanted (nice high-end camera, for example) and take regular vacations to nice spots.

I started giving to charity, too. I also decided to do something closer to home and helped a relative with their student debt. I started taking some of the free time I have and that nice camera to do photography for a local charity.

NVIDIA does not have a monopoly in the traditional sense. But yes, the have a de facto one because there is no viable competition.

It's like saying MATLAB has a monopoly in academic research because so much of the code is written in it. That is slowly changing and moving over to Python now, which is great. Maybe OpenCL will get there someday, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

You can't speak to this particular speaker's motives, but you can to mine? What does SJW mean to you?

I've already stated what SJW means to me, namely, the person using it is stating "I know I'm wrong, I just preferred it when people knew their place"

If you'd like me to expand upon that, I'd be glad to. I just don't understand where you're coming from.

I believe it's free within most countries. What's not free is across most nation boundaries (particularly non-adjacent nations). It's mostly because you're dealing with the interaction of several different networks. Also, if a company has a lock on its customers, it'll charge them what it wants to charge them.

Other problems with SMS: Message order isn't guaranteed. Message delivery isn't guaranteed. You receive no notice what state a message is in (in transit, delivered, viewed). It's an unreliable medium tied directly to your phone (short using a service like Google Voice) and only to your phone (ok, less true these days, at least in the Apple ecosystem, where I can see and send SMS messages through my Mac if my phone is on the same wifi network). Still requires the presence of my phone in that last example.
Sending things to outer space is crazily expensive in terms of fuel; the same holds if you aim for the Sun - the common idea that it's easy is very wrong. The Earth is moving around the Sun at 30km/sec, you need to burn off most of that velocity to actually hit it. For leaving the Solar System, the Internet provides the value of around 40km/sec. You can get most of those speeds by clever use of slingshot maneuvers though, and this is the way we usually do missions to outer planets.

Also, honestly, I don't see the point. The amount of nuclear waste we produce is minuscule compared to other equally or more dangerous chemical substances. Besides wasting perfectly good rocket fuel, destroying it this way would rob us of opportunity to reuse it in the future - hell, we already know how to reprocess some of the spent nuclear fuel for next-gen fission reactors!

>When people don't have any actual evidence to support their claims, they use bullshit phrases designed to push emotion over facts.

Often I'll use emotions over facts even when I have facts. My own experience has been that discussing with other humans goes easier when you include emotional arguments. While a mix of both works best, if you have to give a very simplified argument and cannot include both factual and emotional argument, the emotional argument will tend to go better.

I fully agree with your claim that those without factual argument will use emotional argument, but the use of an emotional argument does not guarantee they are lacking a factual argument.

For example, if I describe someone as an intern due to their lack of maturity, I may have numerous stories to tell about their lack of maturity, but as I only have one line to describe them in, I stick with describing them as an intern.

I live in a high rise in SF and pay $4400 for a one bedroom. Although it sounds expensive but it's like $800 more than the least expensive place we could find near this place but it's a well built apartment with lots of amenities.

I thought about moving out of SF but I don't have any social connection outside of San Francisco. Plus weather is very nice here and there are lots of diverse cultural events happening in San Francisco. Add very thick job market on top of it. I was able to interview 50 companies when I was looking for a new job.

I'm saying I, as a case study is paying this rent because of reasons and I'm well aware how much more it is compared to other cities. There are 600 apartments in this high rise and out unit is one of cheapest ones. Most of units are having residents, so there are people who pay those rents.

If you're not already married, you should be using it to date. College is hands-down the best place to find a significant other. Once you've graduated, the social life you took for granted quickly fades away and finding people to spend time with and then actually spending time with them becomes vastly more difficult.

That assumes that you verify the contents of EVERY commit since the last tag, when you sign a new tag.

NO ONE i know does this. Conversely, everyone expects to be held, and hold others, accountable for the contents of their commits.

We don't have second preimage attacks on sha1 yet, but thinking of keeping signatures separates only buys you flexibility (which is not used by most projects currently on github) and maybe a bit of performance, for a process that is much more brittle.

Also, with things like this:

> It also doesn't add any real value, since the way the git DAG-chain of SHA1's work, you only ever need _one_ signature to make all the commits reachable from that one be effectively covered by that one.

He completely misses the point: who's going to check after pulling that the whole history of dozen/hundreds of commits is legit? That might be the case for the Linux kernel gatekeeper, but not for one of the several small contributors to any project.

It is pretty crazy - only two people returned that 'suitcase full of money'.
I haven't seen any recent benchmarks, but ones from 2011 all seemed to show CUDA and OpenCL on open footing in terms of performance when optimised properly.[1][2] CUDA simply had better library support, and a more well defined and uniform architecture to target. Whereas OpenCL is likely to require more programming to fill in the gaps for library support, and different optimisations depending on the architecture you wish to target. I'm guessing since then, the CUDA compiler may have improved somewhat in terms of optimisation based on some micro-benchmarking research I was looking the at the other day.

There's also Intel's MIC to consider now to, although that has a vastly different architecture to GPU. Again performance was similar between MIC and GPU in 2013[3], each performing better where their architecture was more suited, GPUs were capable of providing double the bandwidth for random access data.

In terms of AMD vs NVIDIA, I've not looked into it, I doubt AMD has anything to really compete with NVIDIAs current GPU accelerated compute lines. However again there was always that distinction (re bitcoin?) that AMD cards have better integer arithmetic and NVIDIA better float arithmetic.

Disclaimer: I use CUDA in my research, never tried OpenCL.
