That kind of simple operation just zipped by for me on Ansible 1.6, 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0. The only noticeably slow kinds of operations for me are generally the package installs (understandably). I don't use a ton of variables in my templates, though.
> why would Uber be better suited than another company to utilize self-driving vehicles?

People used to say the same about Amazon. Amazon was leading a race to the bottom in terms of prices, and they were selling the same products as everyone else.

Amazon succeeds today because they embraced their competitors and they're aggressively pro-consumer (even to the detriment of their own employees). They're also way ahead of the curve in terms of operational investments. For example, Target can't match the Prime service even if it tries.

Is that exactly the model Uber will follow? I doubt it. My point is just that even in commoditized industries, there can be a dominant player.

Gawker broke the law.

And, their whole business model seems to have been predicated upon the ability to victimise people who have no recourse. Not even Hulk Hogan had the money to fight back against them.

Given this, the argument that Thiel's ability to endanger Gawker because of his money is a dangerous precedent is completely hypocritical. Gawker is the precedent for money allowing you to ruin other people's lives.

They acted the way they did because they thought they were untouchable. Their millions made them untouchable. This is why Gawker was able to ruin people's lives with legal impunity.

That is also why Thiel's billions will be able to destroy them.

Whoever wrote this seems to care now that Gawker is legally defenceless, but doesn't seem to recognise that this is exactly the state that their victims were originally in.

It's shameful.
I went to grad school with a lot of Chinese visa students. It was pretty clear about a week in who was the real deal (absolutely brilliant students) and who had worked the system to get into the school. The ones that had cheated their way in generally were generally just average folks who had taken what they viewed as their best option in a very high pressure and high stakes situation. I'm guessing most of my US raised classmates would have made the same decisions in same situations and certainly fair bit of them cheated although usually in less dramatic fashion.

The part that is surprising to me is that schools aren't doing much to prevent this. Studies show us when humans are likely to cheat and probability of getting caught is at the top of the list [1]. How universities and colleges can raise tuition an average of 8% a year and get away without doing a minimum of due diligence around cheating is beyond me. Simple things like some certified system for transcripts, letters of recommendation and teachers who ID/recognize their students would be a huge step to resolving these issues. At my grad school the only change was to make foreign students take the TOEFL[3] upon arrival which solved their big problem of english skills as graduate students are supposed to be teaching assistants in undergrad classes.

Unfortunately Folksprak is not a good example. I was active in the group for many years and it was pretty much a bunch of little fiefdoms with no coherent development strategy. Over 10 years later, they still don't have a single language, just a mish-mash of little dialects. If I wanted to learn "Folksprak", I'm then in a worse position than I'd have been learning a specific Germanic dialect. Might as well learn Dutch or a Scandinavian language. At least then there would be some body of actual speakers.
That's literally what they did for years until taking a16z's money...

They did it by building a community around the non-reddit related traffic. Basically redditor's would share imgur links outside the reddit ecosystem (Facebook etc), then other people would visit imgur directly instead of going through reddit. These secondary users are monetizable.

Imgur had to eat the costs of supporting reddit's hotlinking (though not all reddit posts are hotlinked) but that was more or less imgur's "marketing budget."

I'm not arguing against a free press, and I agree that it would be terrible if this was happening to real journalists. But ... in this case, Gawker caused damage to a person, but could be sued for libel because it was true. If you're going to fight dirty, you should be prepared for your opponent to fight back dirty.

You also have to question whether the main-stream media (which is tentatively hanging on to a business model), isn't already controlled by rich individuals. This article's main thrust was that we don't want a world where the media is constrained by the rich using the legal system, but the rich already constrain the media economically.
this seems like a bit of a red herring. "locking yourself" is a bit under-specified - picking unity, unreal, cryengine, phyreengine, or whatever is also doing just this. choosing physx or havok is a fork in the road. etc. presumably one is making these choices after carefully evaluating options.

> Additionally, at what point does "very scummy" become a civil offense? Why not ask a judge (and/or jury) and let them decide.

Because the criteria for that changes arbitrarily based on the zeitgeist of a particular era. For example, pornography was considered by many to be "very scummy" at the turn of the century. Many religious groups tried to stop its publishing and sale, yet here we are today.

Thiel is well within his rights to file a civil suit, but it could lead to a dangerous precedent that restricts the First Amendment as the founding fathers envisioned it.

A better counterargument would be to bring up Citizens United, and how it has abused the safeguards of the First Amendment to do scummy things that are several orders of magnitude more than publishing some celebrity's sex tape.

We definitively do NOT have "too many workers". There are millions of jobs out there which are simply not getting done due to lack of a worker willing/able to do them, or due to regulations making the job illegal.

We have "not enough jobs" when everyone who wants one has a butler, maid, cook and driver. (Or butlerbot, cleaning bot, autocook 2000 and self driving car.) That's not the world we live in today.

> I haven't read any of the documents that she leaked, but there is a certain danger in ignoring vigilantism even in cases where it is the right thing to do

But surely there is a pattern here that carries an even greater danger?

Pattern: an institution (in this case the US military, but it can be any government department, corporation, basically anything that is much more powerful than an individual) does something wrong and keeps it a secret. Whistleblower divulges the secret. Institution calls this treachery, tries to destroy whistleblower's life, and being much more powerful, will probably succeed unless society defends whistleblower.

Who gets to decide whether the information really needed to be kept secret? If we say the divulging thereof was dangerous vigilantism for which there should be consequences, regardless of its content, then we grant the institution a licence to make that decision unilaterally. This amounts to a free pass for institutional corruption – which, let us remember, is something that can ruin the world.

Mind you, I'm not saying whistleblower should get to make that decision unilaterally either. I'm saying I can think of no better option than deciding the case on its merits: look at the content of the divulged information and decide whether it was legitimately divulged (e.g. evidence of the institution committing a crime) or illegitimately (e.g. selling secrets to the enemy).

Trump gets more page views per article than anyone but Clinton. From the article's graphs it looks like Trump generated more page views than all other candidates combined. Trump's behavior writes news articles by itself. If it takes 50% of the reporting effort to get the same number of clicks then I think the media's obsession is supported.
This article only continues to prove how little research is done before articles can be published.

The media is reporting on itself and its 'effects' without even taking the time to look at the data that is available through sites like Parse.ly and Google Analytics to see if their theories hold any water.

The idea doesn't make any more sense to me than it did four years ago[1]. It's a capital intensive US centric play in a locally regulated industry by a company that has a vast upside from pursuing global markets. Whatever rationales there might be for the purchase, they don't really translate operationally to any other market.

Also, even if every law was made in accordance with some perfect ethical system (whatever that would be), problems remain:

1. You can still do unethical things that are too small or too big for laws to handle. It's perfectly legal to cheat on your partner, or to mock a bullied child, or to form a political party that takes power and repeals laws you don't like.

2. Even for the things that are covered by laws, a superhuman AI would be able to find bizarre loopholes that obey the letter of the law but would be considered unethical by most people.

Come on.. If I see a URL that ends in JPG, my understanding is that I am about to load an image. If the site then shows me a page full of ads with my image somewhere on there, that's exactly what you described.

The site is tricking me into doing something that is to their benefit and to my detriment. Showing me a URL that looks like a link to an image is absolutely encouraging me to do something. It's telling me "hey click here you'll see the image right away"..

I did not want to see a page full of ads, I wanted to see a single image, but now the site has monetized me without my consent.

It feels like you're arguing for argument's sake here.

There's also a correlational issue: do people - with the maturity and fortitude to stay committed to a lifelong relationship and forestall the temporary (or even not so temporary) urge to leave someone out of boredom, irritation, and desire to reclaim independence - tend to succeed in education and the workforce by exercising those same character traits? Even the accurate recognition and prioritization of risk mitigation connotes similar traits.

How to implement cascading dropdown list using angular js in asp.net MVC5
Not long ago I wanted to create a personal server that I can carry all day with me. I spent some time comparing various embedded devices available on the market.

Devices running openWRT should be able to do what you described. This page is a good starting point: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start

An example cheap device:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/unbranded/a5-v11

Another option: http://www.acmesystems.it/arietta (cute, tiny little device)

I got my information from www.cnx-software.com and https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/

Good luck.
You can have it all though - at least, you can in Scala, Rust ought to support something similar. Something like (hybrid syntax/pseudocode):

(for {
fname <- args
f = fs::File::open(fname).orElse(
e => panic!("input file {} could not be opened: {}", fname, e))
r = io::BufReader::new(f)
w <- f.lines().flatMap {
line => line.unwrap().split_whitespace()
} .distinct
} yield Map(fname -> Vec(w.toString))).sum

Just as concise as yours (more concise even), but easier to reason about and safer to refactor. Possibly you might need to do the mutable version for performance if this was a hot loop, but you don't get to even ask that question until you've profiled it and found out that it was the bottleneck; 99.9% of the time it isn't.
I would assume you have access to the list of people following it. So you have a huge head start on someone that develops it but has no following.

Beside most people don't blantly steal ideas. They have to their own twists which could completely change the magic.

And if it's that great don't disclose it and patent it.

Hi! I'm Fable's author, so you'll guess that my reply will be a bit biased ;) I'm not an expert on Elm but if you want to compare both, you should do strictly on a language and basic development tools (editor, compiler...) basis. Fable is designed to be a very lean F# to Js compiler and doesn't provide you with any specific tool for web development besides compatibility with most of F# core lib and some of .NET classes. Fable outputs clean JS which adheres to standard ES6 practices (modules, iterables...) and integrates in Babel's pipeline, so you can easily take advantage of current JS development tools, like Babel plugins, Webpack or React.

If you want a more complete and opinionated solution to develop web apps using F# both on the server and the client, Websharper is your best choice. However, Fable's community is already working on some libraries to make use of JS tools, like React for the web or Fuse for mobile development, in a more idiomatic way from F#. We're also planning to elaborate some guides for full stack development with Suave on the server (which already runs on .NET Core) and Fable on the browser.

Please take a look at Fable's website to know more about what's currently possible with the tool: http://fsprojects.github.io/Fable/

Incidentally, Indy Garcia has a simple but very nice Web Canvas app written both in Elm and F#/Fable so you easily compare both solutions side by side: https://github.com/Indy9000/noodle-soup

Ex-Gentoo dev here. It is not the same. Gentoo emerge runs in place, and you can definitely break your system with a broken build.

NixOS on the other hand, builds everything in sandboxes that only expose the requested dependencies. Builds are almost 100% deterministic. The cherry on top is that your system installation is simply a package consisting of all other packages and configuration symlinked together, and you replace your entire system in one go (atomically, by writing a symlink).

If the build fails at any point along the chain, you get an error and your system remains unchanged. You can totally switch from one major release to the next (and back) without hassle.
It's quite bourgeois of Peter Thiel to concern himself with such petty things.
He should focus his ego, his money and his attention on more important matters.
