Attitudes like yours are unhelpful. If all police are fundamentally evil, then there can be no conversation about how to fix the problems with police abuses. If all police are not fundamentally evil, then people like you poison the well and make it more difficult to discuss and maybe fix some of the problems. If all police are fundamentally evil, then people like you are wasting everyone's time anyway. Either way, you're not helpful.
This is almost exactly how some law schools run their on-campus interviewing process (except the bit about actual decision-makers being required to attend). From what I've observed, it works really well. Pre-screening for at least some level of mutual interest can save everyone a lot of time.
The Lighthouse boxes are supposed to be aimed at a downward angle. I think that limits the ability for the Vive to track any kind of height past a certain point. Unless they did a calibration similar to the floor calibration where you hold the controller as high as you can and it just sets that as the de-facto "ceiling", there might not really be a way to do this reliably without additional Lighthouses.
I didn't miss that. Those aren't risk adjusted numbers and are meaningless.

That's true. But on the other hand, there are new techniques to let the network manage the the spectrum allocation dynamically, on it's own like "dynamic spectrum sharing"[1].

And it would be probably much easier to try such technologies on an Indian village(low spectral use, low buildings offering little interference, relatively cheaper labor).

I think it's safe to say human activities is the biggest cause of carbon emission increase in the last few hundred years.

Given that, let's get the facts straight:

- China has 1.382 billion people, India is a close second with 1.327 billion people and United States is a distant 3rd with 324 million people [1]

- Since human activities are the major factor of carbon emission increase. Let's talk a look at the emission by capita data as it's a better metric to proportionally tells the whole picture. According to 2013's data[2], US is ranked at #7 with 16.5 ton per capita. The first 6 countries are mostly middle east oil producers with the exception of Australia. That's more than 2x of China's per capita rate or almost 10x of India's.

So it's hypocritical for someone from developed countries to criticize developing countries because if China and India were emitting CO2 at the rate of United States', the total emission would have been A LOT WORSE! (I'll leave the math for you to calculate how many times worse :-)

Have you tried the Avatar mod? [1] It's like in-game VNC for virtual players!

It blows my mind what some of those mods can do.

Is there a reason why Python must be slower than Javascript? I.e. given economic and cultural incentives, couldn't there be something like V8, for python?
You might take a look at Rancher - it integrates and fully automates Kubernetes deployment, but personally, I find their Cattle scheduler is much easier to reason about, supports multi-AZ out of the box, and supports all of the features you would want (DNS-based service discovery, encrypted overlay networking, etc.)

Regarding the multi-AZ support issue - this is mostly because an EBS volume can only be attached to EC2 instances in the same AZ, and since Kubernetes has great support for persistent data volumes, you're pretty much limited to a single AZ if you're using persistent data volumes and want them to be remounted on a different instance in case of a failure. I think a more viable solution for persistent data volumes is to leverage EFS and use Convoy NFS to mount them. Now you have highly available, scalable, persistent data volumes, and you can stretch your cluster across multiple AZs.
You could easily design around that.

With like/dislike and flag, you could restrict them from replying or voting on replies which they flagged. Meaning they cannot argue with someone they just flagged, if they want to argue all they can do is "dislike" (which is how dislike SHOULD be used).
How is bee bread "more digestible?" I've never had an issue digesting honey. Do others? Is it common for honey to cause gastrointestinal symptoms?

But, if you have persistent EBS volumes, you wouldn't be able to mount them on the other cluster if you had a failure of an entire AZ.
20 minutes? I thought they got an order of magnitude less time. Regardless yeah it's probably a sign of an issue but with the current climate I don't think that necessarily has to be true.

That's only if people know already which database to query. Moreover, to some extent, Google's already trying to provide a direct answer to user queries (flights, directions, queries for which a Wikipeda / Wiktionary abstract is the best hit).

Doing a "SELECT * FROM restaurants ORDER BY review DESC" is simple, discovering the database to execute that query against is still difficult. We'd need some sort of service discovery to automate that beyond making machines understand natural language.

No, I don't know of anything in Python that could not be made as efficient as Javascript, using techniques that we already know about (and given the time and money that you've already acknowledged are also barriers).

I'm not considering Python's C extensions there. I don't know if you'd consider that part of the 'language' or 'ecosystem'. Pyston is trying to make Python fast, including the C extensions, which is not as easy.

That's a good start. Until we have first-world performance levels the reputational hit from beating, much less killing, people should be enough to to prevent that cop from continuing to work as a cop, and to force the PD to institute the training and reform needed to prevent that happening with other cops.
Given that they always had the occasional, well, quite frequent actually, "all our servers are busy" problem, while having a monetization problem (meaning investing in infrastructure isn't something decided lightly), I find it perfectly reasonable. Or do you have a concrete - and I mean concrete monetization plan for that data? Not just an "idea", it should be as real as the cost of creating and maintaining the additional server(s) for tracking (even more) stuff, and also why it's more important than finally solving their "busy servers" problem. Everything sounds easy from a high-level management perspective. Until you actually have to do it and can't just wave hundreds of "details" aside.
I have to wonder how much this is CPython specific and how much applies to all implementations of Python (including PyPy, which is noticeably faster than CPython).

I've read that, but I feel like it is hyperbole.

Safari is a little behind Chrome/Firefox/Edge but it is only roughly a couple of releases behind, IE6 on the other hand felt like it was a dozen releases behind and they had a much larger market share relative to Safari.

A better analogy might be "Safari is like IE 11." Meaning out of date, but not by a huge amount. Plus their latest dev' builds seem to have picked up the pace a little, so this might just be a blip.

If you were incentivized enough (by being an HFT firm, say), is there anything stopping you from re-implementing the Erlang memory/GC-model on the JVM? I know the JVM has green-threads (somewhere amongst a million other concurrency primitives); but could it be modified to give each green-thread its own heap, and then do background-GC passes of each green-thread heap when that green-thread isn't currently scheduled?

You'd certainly have to write your Java somewhat differently—though you wouldn't necessarily have to move to a full-fledged no-shared-memory message-passing model to see a benefit. (For example, every JVM object could be treated similarly to Erlang's large binaries, where they exist as refcounted objects in a shared heap, and then the ref-handle within the green-thread heap is itself refcounted by the green-thread, so the shared heap only needs to be synchronously updated when a green-thread heap is discovered, on GC, to have released its last ref-ref.)

Given the city-local nature of most population density, I'd imagine a grow-out-from-cities + line fit model would work fairly well at lower computational complexity.

It'd be curious what different countries look like in terms of gradient decent difficulty on population density. I'd imagine most look fairly similar (densely populated regional urban areas surrounded by rural), but I imagine there are exceptions to some degree out there?

How does that compare with what FUDO can do? FUDO intercepts and records ssh, rdp, vnc, mysql, oracle, etc. It can allow users to login to servers without actually knowing the real credentials.

China emits all of this CO2, because the US and the EU moved most of their manufacturing to it. This cooks the greenhouse gas books, but at the end of the day, the planet doesn't care.

You can't have a non-polluting China, and cheap crap at Wal-Mart.
Look no further than Brexit and /r/unitedkingdom for a perfect example of this. You would not think that half the UK population voted to leave the EU based on the rhetoric in that sub. The pro-remain echo is deafening.
The boundary of the set is certainly a fractal. A much more pedantic point would be that you are drawing the points that are outside the set, and leaving the set itself black. :)

You're missing my point. My point is that evolution happens in a subset of whole population. Sometimes it goes so far that a new species are created.

So, different populations of same species are expected to have evolved different subtle traits.

there is a favorable interpretation of this for Meyer.

they're in a bidding war for mozilla with Google and Bing. Yahoo needs their traffic and is willing to exceed the price of the other buyers.. but it's well known that Yahoo has been struggling for years. So a cautious Mozilla would not take their offer unless it was substantially higher, or had some kind of protection if yahoo fails. Yahoo offers this clause, since Mozilla wouldn't do the deal otherwise.

Remember Mozilla wasn't desperate. They could have accepted another offer for at least $300m/year. Yahoo would have been seen as higher risk... people talk every few months about yahoo like it's a miracle they still exist.

Now, I don't know what happened. but yahoo agreeing to this does not necessarily mean Marissa is incompetent or didn't care or whatever.

In the repos directly? No, probably not. rbenv and pyenv aren't in the repos either, I'm not aware of any specific policy against it but it introduces some hesitance to provide software in the repos that can be used to then install software that may conflict with software managed by the package manager itself. rubygems, setuptools/pip and cargo as examples only typically handle installation of libraries and are generally "well behaved" citizens that put files in specific locations and don't install or manage new versions of the underlying language runtime, meanwhile rbenv/pyenv/rustup can mess with your path and potentially cause conflicts that could end up with people filing bugs that are closed "not our problem, we support this one specific environment that's in the repos".

Someone is welcome to try, feel free to open a thread on the fedora-devel mailing list and see what anyone else thinks. But even if rustup doesn't make it into the official repos I don't see why someone couldn't put it up on COPR.
