This article has a bunch of problems and is fairly typical of mass-media reporting in this area.

Suborbital vehicles such as SpaceShipTwo, New Shepard, and Lynx are lumped together with orbital launch systems. I do not think the distinction is made adequately clear in the text either; it would be very easy for a layperson to be seriously misled.

Falcon 9 isn't described separately, just as a note on the Falcon Heavy. Though the Falcon Heavy has a great deal of commonality with the Falcon 9 there are substantial differences in capabilities and economics that go far beyond mere diffrent configurations of a single vehicle. This is very odd considering the outsize influence the Falcon 9 is having on the launch industry right now. Even with the Falcon Heavy flying in the near future, the Falcon 9 is capable of lifting most payloads and will continue to be the core offering from SpaceX in the near future. It's kind of important.

Dragon and Crew Dragon are lumped together. One has been delivering cargo to the ISS since 2012, the other is slated for its first launch next year. They are different vehicles with different capabilities, designed for different purposes; albeit not without considerable commonalites.

Antares has been flying since 2013, so evidently this article isn't just about designs which are in development, experimental, or have yet to reach operation. In which case, it is strange not to compare the listed rockets to Atlas V, Delta IV, Ariane 5 and Proton.

Ariane 6 certainly deserves a mention in its own right. In most respects it is comparable to Vulcan, including plans for partial reusability (in response to SpaceX) and is of enormous political importance to the EU, ESA, and France in particular.
Late '90s is about a decade off, IMO. C was very much the only systems language by then.

I think the last time a popular OS was built on something else than C was the original Mac OS, which had a Pascal API and used Pascal calling conventions.

On the desktop, C was chosen as the API language for Windows and OS/2 around 1986. That meant both Microsoft and IBM agreed that PC software is going to be in written in C.

Cardiff University | Cardiff, UK | ONSITE | full-time/part-time

Cardiff University has created a new Applied Software Engineering course that combines the fundamentals that all academics love to brag about with the industrial best practices that people love to debate. We are joining Big-O notation with scaling systems, comparing SQL and NoSQL, teaching the value of testing, working in teams from day one, version control and all the rest.

Help us disrupt the way higher education preps devs that could be in your team. Develop and deliver content that you have spent years designing, coding or managing.
Love to hate Android Studio and gradle? Come teach mobile development and show us why. Believe emacs is the only to-do list and IDE one needs? Come teach computational thinking. Think that the only code worth writing is C? Come and teach performance and scalability.
Are the only recipes you write in Ruby syntax? Come and teach DevOps
Are you a core developer of Rust or only working in Scala? Come and teach alternative commercial languages!

We have something for everyone at the National Software Academy (yes, we know what that abbreviates to) and we believe your knowledge can help us deliver graduates that are not just competent, but excellent developers.

If you still love your current employer or do not feel anyone else could maintain the legacy PHP you have been keeping from the brink for 15 years then we will also consider part time lecturing posts!

I might give Uber a hard time about some things but I'm failing to see the evil in this. Yes, the leases might seem predatory, but if the target is high risk buyers and the apr is not off by an order of magnitude, seems like they are just enabling their work force.

I could think of a lot worse things than a company giving someone a job and then offering them expensive tools to do it.

They missed the ball by letting the mobile market get picket up by ARM. the internet of things is coming and its going to be the internet that sees things!
The headline claim that drivers are left "shackled" doesn't seem to be supported by the article, which states drivers can leave their lease agreements at any time after the first 30 days, with only two weeks notice, and without harming their credit score.

If you think uber are overcharging for the vehicles, given the terms of the agreement, the risk they are bearing, etc. why not start your own offering which charges less?

> Because you wanted the price of a new HDTV to be $200.

actually, performing overscan requires more functionality on the TV. That's what I think is so crazy. You have a digital signal producer (the console), a digital link (the HDMI cable) and a digital signal consumer (the TV).

And then you add additional code to the TV to cut off some pixels from the digitally fed signal and then scale the resulting image.

As this is significant additional functionality compared to just showing the image you're being fed, I don't buy the pricing argument at all. If you wanted it to be cheap, just don't overscan.

The cost of doing overscan at all must be much higher than the cost for a toggle to turn if off.
true to form, user "too long didn't read" didn't read the links.

My position is simply that there is underlying causes behind people's complaints. Stimulant-prescribing doctors would rather suppress the symptom than investigate.

Robert Whitaker's Anatomy of an Epidemic discusses amphetamines on pages 64, 219, 228-29,236, "See also Benzedrine; Ritalin". Ritalin is covered in more depth: case studies, as cause of juvenile bipolar disorder, hiding the evidence, risks/side-effects, and silencing dissent.

More information about this book can be found through the Mad In America link above; I directly linked to its information page in another comment.

People tend to like the stimulants. They tend to hate the sedatives. Some stimulant users end up being forcibly sedated with "anti-psychotics" (courtesy of a court-order), because they couldn't keep their stimulant use under control and became psychotic.
> "deep learning will not produce the universal algorithm"

I doubt that a general algorithm exists (why should it?).

But well, if we are talking about human-level (or superhuman-level) AI, it is good to remember that WE are deep, recurrent neural networks (with a very different implementation, and spikes instead of floats, but still). If it work in vivo, why its abstracted version shouldn't work in silico?
> If it's passing the turing test, we're pretty close, 3 years max

Well yes? If a Turing test you realize the simulation of some idiot in the online chat, it has long been there - and nobody wants. But the system, which can lead a meaningful conversation, today there is no trace. And there is even no harbingers of its occurrence.

Using fake subpoenas to dox people on IRC seems to be a regular thing, I don't see why not NSLs. (Besides the fact that NSLs might actually receive some scrutiny, so they're probably the inferior choice there)

That would be

That's actually important. If maintaining the letters requires some nonzero effort, they'll want to weigh maintaining letters with other things they could be doing with their budget.

I'm not sure if they have to be reapproved by a judge each time. If that's the case, then on average it seems like you'd have greater churn on the letters. And even if there's a near-100% approval rate while investigating, it seems harder to argue to a judge as the years go on.

It won't help if Edward Snowden was the target of your letters, of course.

FWIW, the decompiled (w/ -deadcode) source from the applet, as retrieved from the server on June 2nd around 9 am CEST, does not contain any obvious mischief. Things of note are a very crude way of parsing the levels from XML (use something like JAXB, dude :D)(the xml is not part of the jar), an interesting sound synth based on the QuantumData, and the fact that self-written code calls color colour. It would be easy to migrate the applet to a standalone Swing application.
I didn't say I was from the US. The average EU state is the size of Illinois and has maybe three or four population centers. It's no wonder that there are many regional carriers competing within each country. God help you once you start crossing borders though--evidently there isn't fierce competition on price, or the EU wouldn't have stepped in and capped roaming rates!
Considering that StartupNY is overly fixated on real estate (one of its primary requirements is that the company locate on university property), the skillsets have more overlap than you might imagine.

Of course, this fixation on real estate and exogenous goals is probably a big contributor to the failure of StartupNY to produce meaningful jobs in sufficient quantities.

The de-duplication in this case is achieved by hardlinks of unchanged files between snapshots. This means, deduplication is only on file level, so even an append makes a new copy.

I've been looking for an rsync-based tool with encryption, but really couldn't find any. There is that uses rsync way of finding differences & keeps change log, but this is in fact normal full-snapshot & incremental backups: http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

Actually Clear Containers does have a BIOS, because Linux requires one eg to read E820 data and to set up the virtual video. However the one Clear Containers uses (from kvmtool) is extremely minimal -- it's literally enough of a BIOS just to answer the int calls that modern Linux makes at boot and that's all. IIRC it's hundreds of lines of code only.

Your question is confusing, what does it mean?

Uber may not be making a profit directly on the leases, but it's clearly a way to get more drivers at a lower effective wage.

In one week in May, Schmitt earned $604 for 28 hours of
work, she said — a slightly better-than-average week.
Uber took $160 for the car directly out of her paycheck,
leaving her with $444.

That works out to about $15/hour after the lease payment, even less if it's not including fuel costs.

These mills were in the pacific northwest (Oregon, Washington and British Columbia). That isn't 18th century england with longstanding social classes. The "bosses" out west, the ones in the mills, weren't posh boys who never mixed with the workers. I cannot believe that supervisors and management wouldn't pick up on these signs very quickly and probably used them themselves.
You're right, but you can use LVM to solve that problem: make an LVM snapshot, run your backup solution (eg, rsnapshot) on the LVM snapshot, remove the LVM snapshot. You still have the problem of caches and transient data, but all files will share the same point in time.

In my experience LVM snapshot performance is good, you can even make it small and let it grow to track the changes while you backup is running.

EDIT: actually rsnapshot has LVM snapshot support (since version 1.3.1 from Aug 31, 2008), so there you are.

I like also rdiff-backup which makes a mirror of a directory + reverse diffs, in case you need to move in time. http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/

Duplicity is also another tools that uses rsync algorithm to find and stores differences, but makes unfortunately incremental backups. On upside - it can store backup on anything that you can push files (FTP, S3, IMAP, ...) and it is the only rsync-related solution with encryption I could find
http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

There is also a very nice full solution - BoxBackup, which unfortunately looks not very active now. It is continuous backup, with block level de-duplication, client-side encryption. Unfortunately uses its own format, where I strongly prefer to have things more standard, so you can manually fix them if something goes wrong.

With Moore's law slowing down, semiconductors can get commoditized. It happened with DRAM business in 1980s:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel#From_DRAM_to_microproces...

Maybe CPU margins are going to drop too? ARM is likely the successor. ARM already won mobile market, maybe it start eating some of the cloud market? Do we really care on which CPU architecture runs S3 servers and etc.? That gives cloud providers huge leverage in negotiations. E.g. AWS can demand more discounts for Intel CPUs and if they won't comply slowing, but surely move some portion of it's infrastructure to ARM.
Sadly, I read the google translated text and it read like a person where english was their second language. I didn't realize it was an "example" until I read your next section. So it had me fooled.

You can't use rsync, rsnapshot, or any other tool that manipulates files and/or filesystems, to get a consistent backup of most databases. Databases come with their own tools and/or commands for creating a consistent "dump". Nothing else is guaranteed to be safe.

I use mysqldump/pg_dump/etc. to create database dumps and copy them to backup storage, and rsync/rsnapshot to back up the app itself. There is no need to use a single tool to back up everything. If your app is well designed, there's not even any need to back up the database and the filesystem simultaneously.

Even SQLite has a .dump command.
