Wireless is much cheaper in other countries. In Austria I can get a LTE flatrate (no hidden data limits, tethering allowed) for around 20-30 Dollars a month (depending on the speed, see https://www.drei.at/portal/de/privat/tarife/internet-tarife/...). The wireless carriers there compete with the cable providers and market their product as cable replacement. In the US the cheapest flatrate costs around 100 Dollars, and even then the amount of included data for tethering is still limited to some ridiculously low amount (I think something like 16 GB for T-Mobile).
It's far from perfect but vagrant + provider of your choice (I'm using parallels for now, but will probably switch to Veertu when they have vagrant support) works well enough for me.

Even if you need to do things directly in the vm, this is still a workable solution I'd imagine.
Fastmail.com suffering DDOS attack
No -- we do, unfortunately. And we don't have to put up with it, if we don't want to.
1) Compile a bunch of publicly available information into a large package and "leak" it. Call it a hack.

2) Call yourself Guccifer 2.0

3) Post a well-written-in-English FAQ that conveniently attacks Clinton with the same tired shit meanwhile praising Trump.

This is some extremely thinly veiled bullshit.
I agree with your sentiment, but ultimately Governments are the ones allowing and enabling it.

If legal, corporations are just doing what is allowed. I hate them for it, but ultimately, i hate that it is allowed. If the law was put into place via illegal bribing/etc, then yes, both parties are to blame. But if it's all above board, then it's entirely on the Government imo.

Take America for example. Lobbying is an utterly disgusting practice in my eyes, yet i can't blame the groups doing the lobbying. I would too if i had the resources. I blame the government for enabling lobbying, and not shutting it down as it stands now.

Corporations have invaded Government, but ultimately the Government is what needs to be fixed to not allow corporations to get away with this.

edit: And of course, you could just continue with the blame train, saying people are to blame, etcetc. I'd agree with you there too. We all need to do something, to fix this damn Government(s).
Why does it need lots of full (non-mining) nodes? Unless you are mining, adding a node to the system just adds network traffic for little benefit.

More full nodes don't provide a better service for bit coin, nor do they provide better security. (If your full node spots a double-spend, so will everyone else). It is just duplicating work that is being done elsewhere. Sure, if you really want to analyse all the blockchain, go ahead and run a full node, but IMO it's ridiculous to want to add incentives for people to do this.

People talk about how running a full node improves decentralization, but they don't prevent any extra attacks on the currency. If there was/is a worrying concentration of mining power, that is a problem, but adding more non-mining nodes does nothing to alter this.
Based on what I've read there is a high chance he is from Moldova, and now works for one of the big IT companies. Probably in his mid 30s. Lives in US or Canada.

A few things point to it:

* He thinks Moldova is part of Romania. That is a contentious issue. He mentioned it specifically. To do so, they'd have to care about it a bit. Doesn't like the Russians it seems, that hints to it as well.

* He listed possibilities about how someone could be a hacker not just be part of the Russian FSB -- working for a multi-national IT company.

* Age based on what he considers are typical "cool" role models for this age. He listed Rambo and Terminator -- those were the typical boys' role models growing up in the early 90s in Eastern Europe (especially ex-Soviet Union).

* Cares and knows about DNC and specific candidates. Guessing they are following the election process, so probably live in US or Canada.
Title: Doctors issue warning about LED streetlights
Actually a clean library .Github has more details on why it is faster than React
>Monkberry is 10 times faster, sometimes 100 times faster.
It's because Monkberry will do only necessary dom updates, and does it in a completely different way than React does.
Monkberry compiles template to plain JavaScript to gain an advantage by using v8 hidden classes and reduce call stack. There is no virtual dom (in general, an react app have to keep 3 virtual doms), for example next template will be generated to JavaScript code which will do only necessary dom updates on state changes.

and also some benchmarks comparing against it.

I always enjoy reading why someone developed new library or tool because they wanted to improve something about a library they were using.It may not be a big thing but it surely gives one or two flaws about your favorite library you are so fond of .
Just to clear some facts... Trump inherited lots of money, some people argue that he barely made more than he would investing his inheritance in an index fund.

In addition, he frequently changes his opinion and is pretty much the opposite of "straight and clear", except of course for a few themes that he constantly champions ("ban Muslims", "build the wall", and a very underspecified "make American great again"), but e.g. he can't even make up his mind on how much the wall will cost.

(Don't take this comment as an endorsment of Hillary, she's most likely a liar and deplorable in so many ways, in addition her positions are very maleable, but make no mistake, Trump is no better. It really is a choice between a disaster and a catastrophe.)

> CraftCMS seems more fitting to our needs because it's flexible and lean; we're impressed with what we've seen so far but are concerned that it's not open-source and that it's so new.

Hi, I’m the Founder & CEO of Pixel & Tonic, the team behind Craft CMS. I’m obviously biased, but if your only concerns with Craft are that it is proprietary and relatively new, I’d like to attempt to ease those concerns :)

Yes the actual Craft application logic is proprietary, but all of the code is “open source” in that it’s not obfuscated in any way, and the majority of the code is in fact FOSS, including Yii, Twig, Guzzle, jQuery, and several smaller scripts. We contribute to many of them, and if we can create a business model that supports it, someday we’d even like to make Craft itself FOSS.

Which brings me to a second point, which is that unlike most CMS projects (and open source projects in general), Craft is made by a dedicated team of developers. We’re funded entirely from Craft CMS (and Craft Commerce) sales, with no VC/angel funding. So we’re highly incentivized to keep making Craft better every day, and keep offering great support. Our business is stable, we’re profitable, and revenue is rising steadily. We’ll still be around in 10 years :)

And as to it being new, well, it’s not really that new anymore. 1.0 came out in early 2013, it’s had over 240 updates (see the changelog – https://craftcms.com/changelog), and it’s generally considered to be one of the most bug-free CMSes out there. And it is being used by thousands of companies and organizations, from small boutiques to global brands like The Associated Press, Netflix, Oakley, Mixmag, and Wired. You can read about a few of those projects here: https://craftcms.com/news/case-studies

That’s my spiel, but feel free to AMA if you have any questions :)

Except that's what happens now. Uber UK pays Uber Luxembourg $1b to use the Uber brand. Lux pay 1% tax, shift it to Uber Bermuda who then hoarde it & wait for us tax amnesty

I'm making this example up but it's the general process of Transfer Pricing. Tax authorities now make you justify the prices which is why Google negotiated a settlement with UK Chancellor George Osborne, his superbowl seats and job for his son were just coincidences.
"Beyond the author’s personal story, what connects the two distinct halves of the book is his area of actual domain expertise: advertising. Mr. García was a Ph.D. student in physics at Berkeley before joining Goldman Sachs to model prices for credit derivatives."

Google Search and Adwords are not developed in Spain or France. In effect these subsidiaries are just local distributors for a US product.

If Apple sells an iPhone (developed in the US and built in China) to retailers in Paris, should they have to pay French income tax on the entire profit of the phone? Of course not, that's ridiculous, even if the retailer is an Apple subsidiary.
"Build a wall across the Mexican border and force the Mexican's to pay for it" is an extremely clear proposal, and it's been repeated often enough that I'm willing to believe that Mr. Trump sincerely believes it's what we should do.

That doesn't make it, y'know, actually feasible, or a remotely good idea even if it were.

European wars, particularly the nastier ones are born out of hegemony and counter-hegemony. The EU was bound to be an hegemonic construct dominated by the country that could dominate it - which basically means France, Germany or Great Britain. Turned out to be Germany.

The utopia of a united Europe is what caused all of the devastating wars - whether it was under the guise of a Spanish empire, a Napoleonic empire or a German reich. Whether it is done by military, political or economic power, it always backfires.

We are different people. What we have in common is mostly Christian religion and Christian morals. Or rather the purified, distilled secularised version of it called "humanism" now.

But some visionary always comes with this radical new idea (actually a thousand years old) that we are somehow all the same and should all be in some sort of union. And it always ends up in war.
When people ask me why I lean toward hosting my content on infrastructure I control (as far as I can), I point then to articles like this.

I get that it isn't for everyone - you have to know what you are doing and you have to have the time (at least initially) to do it - but if you can do it, you avoid all manner of third party unreliability.

The trend to blindly rely on tens or even hundreds of third parties for stuff like web sites is a direction I'm personally not comfortable with. Just one issue can take everything down.

The lower level your dependency (like an ISP vs a hosting company), the harder it is, intentionally or accidentally, to be affected like this.
It's an important disclaimer that race is ultimately a human construct so when if say that something is a race I mean that people either identify themselves or a class of people as belonging to that race.

Back to the point, certain religions are so ingrained culturally and politically that people start to identify themselves culturally and ethnically with the faith because of the people's shared ethical values, history and background. This would have also happened with Christianity if it weren't for the fact that it's the 'default' in the western world.

A person who grows up in the Muslim world, is taught Islamic history, is raised with Islamic values, and practices national and ethnic 'rituals'^1, but is nonreligious might choose to identify themselves as racially Muslim but not religiously.

Conversely a light skinned person in predominately Christian area who finds Islam later in life might say they are racially white, American, or identify with their ancestors ethnicity, but identify themselves as religiously Muslim.

^1 Despite the connotation this isn't necessarily religious. The 4th of July celebration in the US is a ritual.
The UK has a pretty fierce reputation for plaintiff-friendly libel laws, and hosting companies get loads of dodgy complaints. At Bytemark we got sick of them a few years back and spent _thousands_ taking advice from Carter-Ruck, the UK's go-to libel experts.

I wrote an old rambling blog post here -> https://blog.bytemark.co.uk/2010/02/07/adventures-in-libel-o... but in summary, hosting companies aren't as liable for their customers' content as most solicitors would like you to believe!

Since 2010 we demand very specific standards for legal complaints (more than a typical "scare letter"), or a court order - and most complainants drop away before actually doing things properly. Typical exchange might be:

them: "Huge sections of this site are defamatory to my client! I demand under enormous penalty that you take the whole thing down"

us: "We've not read it, do you want to tell us where the defamatory statements are?"

them: "It's blazingly obvious, and we'll take you to court if you don't comply"

us: "We don't know your client, or their reputation, and we don't read our customers sites, so you'll need to tell us about these defamatory statements in more detail."

Very occasionally the solicitors _will_ do the work, and we're on notice at that point, but we then talk to the customer, explain the situation and ask them take down just the statements we've been notified about.

The other strategy that works very often is to ask both parties if we can put them and our customer in touch, then let them sort it out.

None of this is a free-speech thing, just the climate we found ourselves doing business in. We've always found it perfectly possible to respond to legal complaints across thousands of customers without pulling the plug in a panic.
A few examples of something happening in a country of 300 million is meaningless; I expect more people were struck by lightening.

I wonder:

What is the average downtime of Google Mail / calendar vs the average large corporation's exchange server?

Another thought- when Google calendar / mail goes down - it's likely business users blame Google - not the IT group. When a self-hosted exchange server goes down, IT is probably blamed. Leaving an incentive to move toward cloud providers just to shift the blame.
Defacto secure doesn't mean "has no buffer overflows." It just means it's already a prevalent security risk outside of your system.
"Economies of scale" means that your per-customer costs go down as you get more customers.[1]

Cellular deployment has almost no economies of scale. Deploying a new cell tower costs the same whether you already have 10 towers or 100. Meanwhile, just a handful of users can saturate a tower and/or its backhaul, so more customers requires smaller cells and more towers.

Kafka trained as a lawyer, he didn't literally believe that no one should read any book that doesn't create an intense emotional impact. He was a fiction-writer, and he was arguing for a particular model of what fiction can do, which his works certainly embody.

Looks like Dreamfactory is something a user would host on their own servers for their own, on premises database. I'm offering hosted SQL databases, my users database is entirely hosted on my servers, and admin and development is entirely via my admin application. Seems that we're similar in offering APIs to relational databases. So the advantage would be no hardware or server admin.

I don't really consider someone hosting their own servers as my target audience, unless their looking for something like an offsite database to post telemetry to or something similar. I see users of my service being people doing serverless and Static Web folks.
I think that might not be such a bad thing after all, since the flaws make it harder for companies to secure their products against the user, as they are apt to do. Something to ponder: would you rather live in a world of "perfect security" where encryption like this is unbreakable but so is DRM and other mechanisms of corporate/government control; or something closer to what we currently have, where "flaws" in encryption are periodically discovered but things like iOS jailbreaking and Android rooting still exist along with their associated freedoms?

Personally, I lean towards the latter.

In many cases the simple ensemble is more fragile because you have to keep track of multiple things at once. The winning solution for the Netflix Kaggle competition was an intractable ensemble which never got used in production. Also when you update your models you'll have to tune them individually, then manually tune the ensemble weights.

Another advantage of joint learning (which the authors mentioned) is that the individual models need not be as big when trained independently since they complement each other. Though the joint model will surely be bigger than each of the individual models.
How's the UX of wire?

I'm dying for an app that eventually does three things:

1. Secure. A few of them exist

2. UX. I love Telegram, shame it doesn't fit item #1

3. Temporary. I actually really love Snapchat's ephemeral images and/or messaging. Telegram does a good job at this with auto destructing messages.. but it saves images on the system[1], and i don't trust it removing from the cloud in a timely manner. And of course, Telegram fails #1.. making temporary communication all the more troublesome.

[1]: This may be limited to certain systems, such as Android. But yea, don't save an image of an important document in a "secret" chat on Android.. it saves it to your filesystem.
A government cannot provide its people with justice, human rights and quality of life without money, money that as a society we have chosen to collect through taxes. For better or worse, corporations have chosen (and legally fought for) the right to be treated as persons. That makes them part of the society and obligated to contribute to the society in the same way as every person. When they then dodge paying their fair share of taxes they act unethically and in violation of the needs of society and humanity. This behavior should not be glorified, it should be vilified and punished.

I can definitely fault them for trying to minimize their tax burden. Taxes shouldn't be seen as a burden, they should be seen as an opportunity. A way to contribute to the society that created that opportunity to pay taxes in the first place, since every dollar paid in taxes represents several earned on top of society's foundation.

This and the Odeillo plants are pretty amazing. It is remarkably easy these days to build something which can create some really amazing temperatures. I used a Fresnel lens from a 50" rear projection TV to build a concentrator for the kids as part of a science project. We have also used more commercial solar ovens[1] to cook bread and other parts of dinner in the backyard or at camp.

That said, I've always wondered if you could build an industrial processor based on this technology. Can you bake iron out of hematite? Aluminum out of bauxite? The interest stems from research on how one might actually go about mining asteroids effectively. Using an inflatable mylar coated mirror could you effectively distill metallic elements out of a rocky asteroid?
