no its not. its pointing the the strong point: gee my country was worse, i moved to this other country where my situation is better, but this new country should do everything like my old country because it was so great that I left it in the first place.

An reason I used to use to stop that behavior in myself was "oh, it will take a few days to get here". It's difficult to use that logic these days. If one day Amazon could get it to me in an hour without extra fees I'm in trouble.
I'm sorry you don't like it. But those comments are there for a reason: to link what he said in that article with the claims he's making now.

As for the sarcasm: when someone (1) talks at length about how natural slavery is and how some people are naturally fitted for slavery, and calls for all long-term government benefit recipients to be made into slaves, and (2) insinuates (without quite saying it explicitly) that the average black person really ought to be a slave because that's what their inborn character and intelligence make best for them, and then (1') gets indignant at being called an advocate of slavery and (2') insists, in tones of offended innocence, that if anyone thinks them racist for taking about mental differences between black and white people, the problem is all theirs for being so "IQist" ... well, I really think some amount of sarcasm is called for.
> Assuming by "simulation scenario" you mean the theory that there is a chance we are running in a simulation, it doesn't assume we aren't the root universe

The argument premised on the infinitesimal chance of our being the first in an infinite timeframe requires assuming that our universe, which seems to have a finite age, is not the root universe.

That assumption is a fairly key part of the conclusion that the universe is a simulation; even assuming the rest of the steps of reasoning were correct, its not an argument for P(Our universe is a simulation | What is now known and observed) but P(Our universe is a simulation | Our universe is a pocket universe embedded in a root universe of infinite age)
The best part is that the media companies are now explicitely licensing the content to Google (for free).
Google competitors won't have those licenses and won't have the market power to get them for the same conditions, so they made it harder for Google competitors.
It's a tax dodge, is what it is. Mojang is based in Sweden, so Microsoft could buy it with the big hoard of foreign cash they're avoiding repatriating to avoid paying tax on it a second time. Then, all the domestic sales of Minecraft are money that's on American shores already.

Everything You Need to Know About Payments Management for Your Online Business
This isn't doing devops, this is release management, which is something that traditional sysadmins do all the time. Making sure that the image file and repository information match up is pretty basic, and that a release is deployed correctly is pretty basic. A project like this, I'm surprised they don't have tools like nagios constantly checking to make sure downloads are working and that checksums, etc all match up, preferably on the servers before whatever load balancing system you have points at them. Deployment can, and should, be as atomic and possible, regardless of who is pushing the go button.
Right, these moves are not the same. To be the equivalent, the company would need to offer to buy the newly created shares from the investor at a price equal to the value of the dividend (even if that is a premium over market value).

Over a long period of time, Option 2 results in a company with huge cash reserves that aren't generating extra returns (see: apple). This could lead to a situation where the market value of the stock becomes much less than its intrinsic value and a hedge fund (or similar) could acquire a significant holding in the company and compel the board to accept a complete buyout at a discount. Forcing shareholders to accept 20-30% less and leaving them to sue for the difference.

Dividends are the end-game for every company. It doesn't matter if they distribute cash or buy back stock -- eventually they need to put money in the hands of investors.
The irony is that for there to be diversity there must be protectionist policies and xenophobia to preserve it.
Another gem from AWS in response to a query that mentioned that every major DNS server around the world had picked up a change made to the A record of a domain except for Amazon DNS (even after 2 hours of the change):

Thanks for that information. It really help us understand the issue faced. As you know changing a A record for a domain can take time to replicate through all the Root DNS servers and then onto the none authoritative servers from there on. When you are editing your DNS Zone file it is highly related to the TTL settings for quicker updates on changes to them.

However it really isn't uncommon to see full DNS replication when making changes to an A record.

..

Also for even more control and perhaps faster DNS resolving times within AWS look into our Route53 service.
https://aws.amazon.com/route53/
I hope this has addressed your questions and please feel free to ask if there is anything else.

Tools like http://mxtoolbox.com/dnspropagation.aspx and http://www.viewdns.info/propagation/ indicated that the change had been picked up by every listed server but for AWS.

Solution proposed by AWS: Use Route53.
In general, our conference calls are structured and laser focused on recovery; "what can we rollback, undo, failover or change to restore availability?" There's much less emphasis on figuring out the root cause, or the "why" of the issue, in that moment. That's another natural tendency - to want to understand the issue rather than fix it - that can be counterproductive.

In that situation, and especially at scale, it's very useful to keep everyone on the same page about what actions are happening when, and to help folks out by showing them how to find things which may have changed (keep in mind the change may have been in a totally different system than the one that ultimately breaks). For example: it would slow things down if someone tried to flip data centers at the same time that someone else was rolling back software.

If on a call it becomes clear that a team needs to make some kind of non-rollback change, like a code change, or push a new config, and thankfully that's very rare, we'll generally recommend they break off and work on it in isolation, while nominating a point person to liaise with everyone else. We do use chat too and that can be more effective as more people join.

For postmortems we try hard to do in writing first, and then an in person review. It's very helpful to be able to re-assure and guide each other. I can back up the "Blame the system, not the engineer" guidance others have written about here too.
Maybe I am not understanding something about the situation, but I don't see the danger.

Thiel is killing gawker via a meritorious lawsuit. I don't see whats problematic about that. If he was throwing frivilous lawsuits at I might agree, but that it isn't the case.

If anything, isn't what Thiel is doing a positive good? We had a victim who didn't have the funds to bankroll his own case, Thiel stepped into do so. Gawker is only in this position because they violated people's rights.

What this lawsuit says is "Say something about rich people they don't like, and they will start funding lawsuits from people you victimize."

If anything, the problem here is that the victims of Gawker need the support of the ridiculously wealthy to take them down.
so your idea of a productive conversation is having someone repeat your own opinions at you. I'm sorry you don't believe your success is in your own hands. successful people create their own luck, you are pretty old to have not realized that by now.

To understand the insanity behind the Economic Policies of India, I recommend people to read "The turn of the tortoise" by T.N.Ninan. An eye opening and honest view from financial/economic point of view.

Some salient points are,

- Indian Government acts paternalistic (at times with good intentions) but becomes parasitical in practice.

- Indian corruption is rent-seeking unlike some high growth nations where corruption is more like profit sharing

- India is a Center-Left country, with Fabian Socialism as the default political mindset, so Price controls and market control is the favorite practice of protectionism and fountainhead of black and gray markets.

I strongly recommend, whether you are Indian or interested in India.
remove "that sold" from above, can't edit anymore.
Progressives move forever more to the left, and then accuse the right of "moving right" because we didn't move to your new definition of center fast enough. Excuse me, conservatives have not actually managed to get signed any major conservative initiative in the US in 50 years, because of that line.

Our government is bigger than it has ever been:

-we haven't privatized schools or gotten vouchers,

-we haven't abolished any major departments of governments,

-we haven't been able to abolish any major social program,

-we haven't been able to cut costs in the welfare state,

-we haven't abolished government marriage,

-we haven't opened immigration to wealthy foreigners,

-we have only lost ground on gun rights and religious rights,

-we have not been able to slow the judicial activism of the courts,

-we have only gotten passed minor deregulation efforts,

-we have not limited the unions,

-abolished the minimum wage, ended zoning laws, and so on.

To a conservative of the Goldwater years the Republican party of today would look like a bunch of socialist fascists. The closest Republicans get to doing anything conservative these days is to slow your guys roll.
That's not an argument, that's a statement. If it were an argument (in the sense that a fallacy like ad hominem applies), he would have a set of premises and a conclusion. Also, the comment we're talking about would have to directly state, "BECAUSE he has ties to Gawker, he is THEREFORE wrong" which is not at all what the above comment is saying.

Furthermore, no one is claiming the article is wrong because the author has ties to Gawker. The claim isn't, "Because the author has ties to Gawker, he is therefore wrong", the claim is, "Because he has ties to Gawker, his premises may be biased."

Also, you can't analyze the author's "arguments" because he doesn't provide one.

>The only way to make real inroads in control of cancer is to crush down the cost of addressing different cancers, making it a small project rather than a whole new research initiative each time around.

Agreed. And while this study's methods wouldn't be cheap per se, RNA-based methods combined with whole genome sequencing of tumors are much more cost (and time) efficient methods than approaches that require antibodies or chimeric proteins. I believe that these methods, in combination with immunotherapy, are the best candidates for future cancer therapy.

There is no single 'correct' price for anything because everybody values things differently.
That was my thought as well. A promise that returns a promise that returns a value is no different than a promise that returns a value.

I am not sure I agree with the specifics but I think generally it's healthy for the world to keep multi-national companies in check. So even if it's a stupid law that blocks multinationals the effect will be positive in my view if it fosters a local tech scene.

The big Silicon Valley companies are already killing a lot of innovation so it's better to stop them from reaching more dominance.
Unconditional Basic Income is "unconditional" in that it does not have means- or behavior- testing. All actual proposals have some eligibility criteria, typically including some combination of citizenship and/or residency, and often also including age.

Okay, so there's a couple of dynamics that work differently here.

There's asteroid mining to source materials for other stuff in space and then there's asteroid mining to source materials for the ground. If cost to orbit is low, then it becomes less worthwhile to source stuff in space for space stuff, because you could just source it from the ground for relatively cheaper.

But if cost to orbit is low, it's also lower cost to actually set up an asteroid mining facility and perhaps more plausible that you might economically take stuff from asteroids down to the ground (though huge barriers remain, even for quite low costs to orbit).

Also, if cost to orbit is lower, there is more plausibly other stuff actually happening in orbit that might make sense to consume space materials. Right now, the value of "a kilogram of iron" in space is essentially zero, because what you need is not raw iron but some kind of tool, and there's no way to turn raw iron into a tool in space. Water and other volatiles have some minor use, but as long as the number of people in space is, like, six, it's not that big a deal to get them water from Earth. If you had more stuff going on in space, there'd be more reason to try to get low-cost materials in space.
No, I appreciate the more customized results. It is hard to notice when you are used to it (occasionally I do for a search that I expect to return results for a widely used term). But it becomes very apparent when I search on a different computer and the results are so much worse then the personalized ones I am used to.
You don't see well written, solidly thought out code to be the norm, either,

The backend systems for Twitter - advertising, data analysis, spam prevention, infrastructure etc is vastly more complex what you see in a feed of 140 characters.

Whether any of these systems or human resource needs are required to be running at that scale is probably the question hitting Jack directly in the face. I think the ballsiest move he could make would be to shrink it all down to core services. But Wall Street would shit itself with that sort of contraction.

> If Gawker was not guilty of committing a tort that resulted in actual damages, then Thiel or anyone else would not be financing litigation against Gawker.

What's your evidence for this? Plenty of people pay for litigation that doesn't result in actual damages. That's why over the last few decades we have needed to invent anti-SLAPP statues. Which, by the way, we only have in 28 states, so reduction of First Amendment rights via lawsuit is still a big threat to free speech.

> its not like Thiel can prevent Bollea from settling if the amount is agreeable to the client.

Do you have evidence for this? Bollea presumably signed some sort of agreement when taking Thiel's funding, and I'm not seeing why he wouldn't be able to agree not to settle. And certainly Thiel could have structure the funding such that Bollea's incentive to settle was gone. E.g., fundig for up to $50m, but regardless of amount spent, Thiel gets anything from Gawker up to $50m.

> They could have offered Bollea a settlement and avoided litigation

What's your evidence that they didn't? Legal observers think "Gawker must have offered to pay significant damages":

http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/might-an-anti-gawker-benefac...
The way that problem is solved is to grant the judge power to determine what amount is reasonable given the stakes of the case. You obviously don't get to hire 100 lawyers and claim that all of them are necessary for your defense.

Really, this is a solved problem elsewhere.
