Yes, that's pretty much how military anti-jamming works. You have a steerable (via phase switching, not physically moving) antenna that can form a beam with nulls pointing at the sources of interference/jammers. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-forcing_precoding for more info.
Seems like an economics problem. The airplanes are full. The airlines are making lots of money. There aren't enough pilots. Hmm.... Perhaps pay them more?
I've been following this one on the cycling blogs, and I have a fairly cynical take on it:

* They didn't actually name anyone.

* They didn't catch anyone with a motor, red handed.

* They did, however, manage to produce another 'cycling is dirty' narrative.

Pretty useless, IMO.

It sounds like a two part problem: getting the job, and doing well at the job, and they are orthogonal.

There was an article about getting hired by a YC startup not too long ago, and the key takeaways were:

1. be focused on building products, not mastering technology, or at least say that you are. They don't want to hear about your desire to be awesome at <machine learning|scalability|etc.>

2. stay away from enterprise software companies. Doesn't matter if you're solving similar (hard) problems.

3. stay away from enterprise tech, like C# and Java, unless you're going after a specific company that uses those.

These are irrational biases, but pretty entrenched. My advice is to just get things done. Record what, how, and the material impact on your LinkedIn profile, at least quarterly. Network at start-upy events. They'll come to you eventually.

Let's be clear. This is 100% cheating in races and can not be condoned. Otoh, I don't get the outrage by someone like Eddy Merckx, calling for a lifelong ban on Femke Van Den Driessche , the young female cyclist that was found to have a bike with an seatpost motor in her materials stand. You have to realize Merckx himself was caught several times on doping, receiving only mild punishments, and also one of those ex-racers sticking 100% to the sport's traditional muerta on the subject. At least these motors are not actively preying on the health of the riders.

Apple WWDC 2016 - "Hello big idea."
I think it's an interesting idea. One thing to note, though, is the whole saying "it's journey, not the destination." I think some people would prefer to experiment and try new things for themselves; however, I do feel that there is room for such a product that provides a good enough experience to "try" something out without completely investing all of your time into it. If you can find the appropriate balance between the two, I think it would be pretty cool.
From AWS article on Best Practices in Evaluating Elastic Load Balancing, section Pre-Warming the Load Balancer:

"In certain scenarios, such as when flash traffic is expected, or in the case where a load test cannot be configured to gradually increase traffic, we recommend that you contact us to have your load balancer "pre-warmed". We will then configure the load balancer to have the appropriate level of capacity based on the traffic that you expect. We will need to know the start and end dates of your tests or expected flash traffic, the expected request rate per second and the total size of the typical request/response that you will be testing."

Edit: This means ELB could not deal with sudden spikes of traffic.
Interview with Mark Zuckerberg in Palo Alto (2005)
Installed capacity is normally measured in watts. It's really only valuable for trending within the same technology, though, unless you include the capacity factor.
The developing world is in somewhat unique position. They can skip generations of technology - they can start from latest and greatest - the smart choice when you have tabula rasa..

Also there labor cost, and the cost (and time) of navigating the political system to get permits are lower.

So a big project can be made a lot cheaper and faster from first shovel to producing electricity.
Cycling has actually gotten cleaned up a lot lately. There are various teams with 'no needles' policies, and very strict monitoring of what people are ingesting in terms of vitamins and so forth.

I also ride motorcycles, but the bicycle I can ride int the lobby and take up the lift to the office - it's quicker door-to-door (over 8km) than the motorcycle, which I sometimes get to park close by but if I don't come in early I end up parking a few blocks away (or _gasp_ paying for parking).

I;m with you on the dangers of people who don't have good situational awareness zooming around on electric bikes - but I think I'm pretty good there, you don't survive 25 years as a motorcyclist doing 15-20k miles a year without being pretty good at knowing what's going on around you and riding accordingly...

Another point, I know a lot of commuter bicycle riders, and some of _them_ think the skinny-wheeled-carbon-frame crowd doing 30+kmh in bike lanes should GTFO as well... (And I've got motorcycle friends who reckon the lycra-crowd should stay off the country backroads doing 50kmh when they want to zoom past at twice the speed limit... People, huh?)

(Also, my cheater bike is _way_ cheaper than a scooter, it's a $50 eBay mountain bike with ~$130 worth of Chinese hubmotor/controller/stuff, and a $70 battery. And crucially, I can ride the cheater bike home from the pub after a few beers... )
We have our own spare capacity product called preemptible VMs (cloud.google.com/preemptible-vms) with a similar discount and no need for bidding (Disclaimer: I worked on it). Also, we don't have reserved instances because our sustained use discounts, per-minute billing and continued year-on-year price drops make more sense than any of the RI combos (1 yr is worse than our pricing with sustained use, 3 years locks you out of price drops).

As to load balancing, I assume the poster is referring to the need to "pre-warm" ELB if you actually want to scale while our Maglev based load balancing goes from 0 to 1M qps within a minute.

Finally, EBS with provisioned IOPS is a good product! But so is PD-SSD, and you don't need to be a storage expert to get the best performance.

As others have pointed out, we've made a lot of progress in the last couple of years. Give us a closer look!

The important part here is that solar is still under heavy R&D with consistent real-world non-zero advances in efficiency and cost reduction while coal has, AFIAK plateaued. Even under perfect market conditions, solar will still, eventually price-cut coal.
Does anyone know why the Author's Guild has pursued this case? Do they have a good-faith belief that they are losing potential revenue from a "licensed search" market? Or is it simply a precedent case for them?

As best I can tell India's government is currently spending billions of dollars on solar. Maybe it will some day not be subsidy based. But as best I can tell it currently is.

In fact the government appears to be spending one hundred billion dollars on solar in the next six years. By 2022.

Furthermore, "The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy provides 70 percent subsidy on the installation cost of a solar photovoltaic power plant in North-East states and 30 percentage subsidy on other regions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_India

I'm all for renewable energy. Solar is great. At this point I don't see how the headline isn't clickbait bullshit.

It is quite simple really, Apple has in no way the market share that a Google has. The impact of their anti-competitive decisions are vairy low.

The problem is also not having big marketshare but having it AND doing things that may be anti-competitive. European companies have also brought before court for the same reasons.

Btw Apple had also been brought to court for not applying European laws especially regarding warranty's which they lost.
Based on your slack channel comment, I assume you're using Kubernetes. That's a great choice for new development, and I'm glad you've had your questions answered! I can't tell though, did you also use one of our paid support tiers? (https://cloud.google.com/support).
Now comes the agonizing process of explaining this to many millions of people who have been propagandized by the coal lobby for decades. Hopefully we can also work in some best practices around these photovoltaics that leads to less pollution from the process of mining elements for them, and making them in the first place. It's still better than coal, but "better than coal" is a very low bar.
So his quote is

"I think a new coal plant would give you costlier power than a solar plant"

He thinks a NEW plant would give you costlier energy. Secondly, aren't the solar projects subsidized in a BIG way? I have seen many smart people say that solar is a sham. They say it's just an opportunist's play. Entrepreneurs want to get on the government's tit and the politicians are happy to portray themselves as environmentally friendly in front of the increasingly global warming wary voters.

If anyone can argue against that, please speak up. I haven't seen anything other than wishful thinking and naive people patting themselves on the back because someone got their hands on tax money.
Right now it's just compute engine (Source: cloud.google.com/cdn). I'm not sure on the SNI part, but like you I assume that's the case.

You are correct that every country puts their economy before others.

However, India is not asking another economy to help them. India can develop its solar energy sector by itself.

The west accuses the developing countries to be big polluters since they use less environmentally-friendly means of energy production. Then when countries like India try to subsidize the domestic solar energy market, WTO accuses them of illegally supporting domestic over international solar producers. Its like you are called a drug-addict first and when you try to wean off it on your own, you are accused of cheating the rehab centres. Excellent example of double standards.

I see I wasn't clear. When I said third parties, I didn't mean political parties, I meant it in the more literal sense. That is, groups that aren't technically affiliated with a political party. In the US you can't always tell what the group is by the name, e.g. "People for a Better Tomorrow" or "Alliance for Children" or "People Who Care More Than You". Well, okay, I made the last one up, but only just.

Anyway, when you limit money going to politicians it goes to these sorts of groups instead. Then they turn around and buy air time supporting whoever funded them. If you limit money to those groups (which isn't constitutional anyway), you get money supporting dubious university research and "think tanks". And so on. If all those are limited, people start buying media organizations.

The point being it doesn't seem like there's any way to remove or even curtail the influence of money in politics. All they can seem to do is move it around. That's why I'm curious what sort of legal environment Belgium has in place to prevent that.

Out of curiosity, why are you seeing hundreds of renders per image?

The first time I met Bill Campbell was at Ben Horowitz's home in Atherton. I had no idea who he was. So we got into a conversation and eventually a debate. For more than 2 hours, we went back and forth on things like who sucked more, Duke football or Columbia football. All I knew at that point was that this dude went to Columbia and I went to Duke. So here I was joking and arguing with this good old fellow, innocently.

So when lunch was served, someone (a young aspiring guy who was among many trying to get talk time with Ben Horowitz) came to me and told me that 'if I knew who that old guy I was yelling at was I would be embarrassed by my actions'. I didn't take it to heart but I decided to tone it down a little.

After lunch, Bill came back for me, ready for more. I was now reluctant to engage. Sensing the drop in intensity, he said , "Why are you not arguing anymore? Did someone come and tell you who I am and now you figure we can't go at it?" I told him yes. He told me to relax and stand my ground in the argument. He went and grabbed a couple of beers, punched me playfully and and told me to have a cold one and get back at it. We talked and talked and talked, great conversationist that guy.

Then we played a volleyball game a little later, unsurprisingly, I was his first pick. Afterwards, he personally introduced me to Ben Horowitz and invited him to our conversation. Now it was two against one. Ben eventually told me that Bill had actually been the coach for the Columbia team and had a forgettable record. haha, I pinned him on that one.

We eventually parted ways sometime after dinner. He gave me his details and surprisingly he is the one who followed up with me first. Since that day, he was a mentor to me, occasionally checking in on me and telling me whenever he was in town so we could link up. He has had an influence on many of the projects I have worked on and jobs I took up.

Rest in peace Bill, you were a rare breed. I owe a lot of what I have become to you. You have left a void that will be difficult to fill.
This is the carrot to the Paris Agreement's stick (which India and China refused to sign until the differentiation of developed and developing is added).

Its basically an attempt to show that as a country, we can move to cleaner power if the right technology transfer is supported by US and Europe. It is the second step after the agreement to transfer US nuclear energy tech to India (which has not signed the Non Proliferation Treaty).

I think the US govt will have to open up its technology and patents to be used by India - if the climate change deal needs to be ratified. Otherwise there is zero chance of it being passed in the Indian parliament.

Well I think Reddit is heading in the right direction on certain subs and has the respect for readers/writers, but I was also thinking of something that takes the very real challenges in reporting something like a war and tackles them using technology, e.g. Providing verified sources on the ground, context in terms of long history, background on the key players, infographics on stats.

Unfortunately Reddit is still a popularity contest, so in that sense it doesn't always surface the best content, just the most superficially popular.

So more something that would be invaluable to a historian 100 years from now trying to write about a topic, or a person reading about a subject for the first time.

Yes agreed, on opinion pieces, everyone has their own opinion, and wants to shout about it. I'm not even sure they are useful on a news site, but they drive traffic and due to the perverse incentives which drive places like the guardian (ads and clicks above all, the competition for traffic on google), they will start to dominate over didactic pieces which take more effort and drive less traffic. Our journalism is turning into Buzzfeed because of the quest for traffic at all costs.
I think we are already there given that flying is a much easier task than driving. See http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/03/has-th...

As one conspiracy theory, low pilot pay could be the industry's way of forcing the issue, given the psychological barriers to completely automated flights. Additionally, partial automation leads to lots of boredom for pilots, which could detract from rather than improve safety (full automation avoids that problem).

We should see it happen in our lifetimes, anyways.
