No. I just know people. What's going to happen the first time pretty people have a VR party and headshots of all of them with red, sweaty rings around their faces shows up on FB? They'll never put the VR on again, that's what.

It's sounds like a cool idea, however I think if it took off ISPs would rush to change their terms of service to block you.

Thing is why not just use an IaaS to do the same thing?

Since you're borrowing someone's connection, I'm imagining you want to be able to ssh into an OS on their network, download, process and then upload some files.

The ones with high network speed aren't all that expensive to use for an hour or two.

That's not to say there isn't a demand around a service that packages it up nicely.

I think I agree with you 100% based on what I think your comment reveals about your ideas.
The point I was trying to make is that it's too often that we judge animal behavior based on our mental constructs, when I think it makes no sense at all even for the most intelligent of the animal species.
Somebody pointed out that we are not so different from animals, and so it shouldn't be a big stretch to apply our labels to animal behavior. But I think we are so far from animal behavior that it makes it very difficult to analize/understand it without a really big effort and a long time of study. Scientists get very close, but internet comments are too often narrow-minded.
Orcas are not 'killers', at least not more than any other predator. They are very intelligent and gregarious, and they eat other animals. Jumping from this to 'they are assholes' was, in my opinion, not called for. In what 'interaction with others' was this based on? I think a real judge would have a hard time trying to distill intent from animal interactions.

Your second point is completely right.
But as a matter of fact, I think that both whales, seals, sea lions and all animals in general are all fine gentlemen. I have my doubts about that monkey pulling the legs (literally, and the tails) of two tigers, though.
What I Wish I Knew About Data for Startups
I have a friend who works for a college in Serbia and has access to 1Gbps upload. My home connection is 10/1Mbps ADSL2+. I often mail him DVDs and even hard drives with data to upload to the Internet. I'd totally use such a service if not for the friend.

Amazon and Alibaba Have a Lousy New Job in India
What I always wonder about those kind of projects is why you never find any specs about the software they use. Not only that it is closed source (what I expect) but they don't give any information about how big it is and what you would need to run it.
You have no control about what is executed on your PC (possibly as root?). In my eyes it completely destroys the integrity and trustworthy of any computer it is installed on.

I also wonder how they calculate the money you get just for having certain hardware. It says a 6 core 3.2Ghz CPU pays out $28/month but what if I have an average of 70% CPU usage the whole time (unrealistic, but still what if)? Do they pay me still $28 even though they only get 30% of what they could get or do they reduce the payment or even worse does the software just take the whole CPU for it self and make the rest of the computer unusable?

I've seen some similar projects (don't remember the names) but none of those actually answered only one of these questions.

I don't have a problem with the team, but how does this tweet make sense? They are all (except one apparently) Asians, in what dystopian universe is this "diversity"?

Sometimes I feel sad that we took a nice word "diversity", and perverted it to mean basically "anybody except white males".

And just to be clear, if these guys are on the team it's probably cause they are the best, so they all deserve to be there, and I wouldn't want to kick 2 of them out just to add a girl and a white guy.

You speak as if a GC is unconditionally better than alternatives and it is a solved problem but using a GC has issues as well.

On the theoretical side, not reasoning about ownership means sharing data betweent threads is done with copies (slower) or locking (slower and error prone); if you know about ownership you can share references to data while it can't be mutated for free.

Ownership is also important for any non-memory resource (file handles, mutexes, etc). GCs release those "whenever", maybe never, unless you close manually.

And even though manual memory management has some small non-deterninistic overhead for heap coalescing (which one can usually work around with pools), most GCs I've worked with add measurable overhead. This equates to more cost per server, more load, more battery life drained, higher response times...
Most papers use public data sets. I agree there should be more public data sets, for nearly everything.

Having said that - what's the cost of doing something like this yourself? 7 hours of driving video, plus the positional/steering/etc data? Should be easy for almost anyone with enough inclination to gather hundreds of hours of data like this, if you really wanted to.

Whales are usually considered smarter than dogs.

Many of the smart things that dogs do are conditioned responses -- they adapt their wiring for pack behavior to human relations and are perceptive about many emotional and other cues.

I believe that whales have been observed performing more complex creative or problem solving tasks, and can probably communicate concepts between whales.
IMO, even though in general movement has nationalistic tendencies, It cannot be said "they are not fond of Kurds" (as an ethnicity). However, their agencies were making a lot of negative press on the last peace process. Also, they were quite likely behind exposing secret peace meetings and mass detaining of kck members in (if I recall correctly) 2010. Apparently Kurdish problem was one of the main issues of conflict.
That's not how fractional reserve banking works. It works by getting money in deposits and then loaning out most of it, keeping only a fraction in case some depositor wants his money back.

The reason that that act creates money is that the money in the deposits can still be requested by depositors at any moment -- it's still fully liquid, and thus the depositors still have their money. But so does whoever borrowed money.

The effect is compounded a lot by the fact that the borrowed money will also end up in some bank account almost certainly, and be almost entirely lent out again, and so on.

Don't forget that they don't have any competition, a big part of which is due to laws preventing municipal broadband networks. I don't think anyone is too worried about this in Chattanooga, TN, where over 100,000 people have access to 10gb fiber to their homes.
It's interesting that we have such a hard time accepting the emotion of altruism both in humans and animals. The author of the articles states: "could just be revenge". Revenge is in many ways more senseless then altruism for evolutionary purposes (unless you directly attack killer whales that threaten you, but one could argue that that's a form of self-defence), but from our ego perspective it feels more intuitive, at least to the author. There are also comments in this thread that reflect this way of thinking.
One minor idea. If you're an organization defined by a mystery three letter acronym, do people a favor and define it somewhere. Since it's not in this post or on the lwn.net homepage, here's the LWN faq:

So what does it mean?
I've found that I can win over my immediate superiors with low level grumbling about real technical issues in the code base. They eventually internalize the state of the code base and have realistic expectations for how long things will take. The key is to diplomatically voice all your WTF moments, and have a boss technical enough to get it.

Problem is their bosses still think that the spaghettified joke that is the internal framework we have to use is manna from heaven and would take a very dim view of anyone caught trashing it in the open.
In Serbia it does that too, often with dosgy bank branding and incredibly long and convoluted base64-encoded urls... Weird.
I would love to do that as well. But its taken me a while to understand our current system, and the code itself isn't bad, its just some really poor high level design decisions that have led to a lot more of it than is needed. 2 hours in it still looked decent to me.

"Linux Weekly News"
My issue with Trump is how ignorant he seems to be about everything he's asked. You might say that Clinton is dangerous, but she's not stupid. Trump IS very stupid.

Also, what is this "power vacuum"that you're talking about? What are you trying to say, that if Obama was militarily more aggressive, there would be less ISIS? Weren't you just before concerned about Clinton wanting war? You can't have both.
I think the target market of people doing an initial upload of their harddrive will have 200GB or more easily and burning 40 DVD and shipping them is quite a hassle.

Amazon AWS offers to mail you a network attached device containing harddrives and you mail it back. I haven't seen that as a third-party service yet.

This transformer would be a flyback transformer therefore doesn't need to be driven by anything so hard-to-generate as a sine wave. It can be driven by a "switch" (MOSFET) at it's primary which is connected to DC.

I'm convinced that the issue overall is lack of transparency about design quality. In an org with non-technical leadership, technical staff should periodically present assessments of their systems' readiness for change. Non-tech people need to understand technical debt and see how it changes over time.

In my experience, companies with technical founders tend to have cultures that handle this issue better.
It actually does tell you.

"What does LWN stand for, anyway?
LWN, initially, was "Linux Weekly News." That name has been deemphasized over time as we have moved beyond just the weekly coverage, and as we have looked at the free software community as a whole. We have yet to come up with a better meaning for LWN, however."

"Bus stops just have a QR code that you scan to get the live countdown clocks for the next bus"

If you write programs with a gc there is always a level which you can't get your hands on to change. If you want to create a piece of a puzzle that is tiny, does one thing, and does it right, like a shared library, a command, a linkable object, or any tiny standalone binary, the gc is always a thorn.

Anything where memory or interactivity needs to be tightly controlled is problematic with a gc. Not only that, but a gc doesn't scale as well with lots of threads. Ultimately you need thread local allocation since you will eventually be bottlenecked by the fact that typical allocation (with malloc, VirtualAlloc, mmap, etc) is protected by a mutex, and deallocation suffers the same fate.
In terms of competitive gaming, most serious players only care about the input lag that they can't control (they typically try to use hardware similar to the tournament standard).

So for example in the Street Fighter community, players are really upset that the inherent input lag in SFV is much higher compared to previous versions.

This has an impact on how the game is played.
Not much. For the companies your future potential employers use to do background checks on you? Probably a lot.
I don't think they pay you just based on hardware specs. It's a factor of time that you allow the program to run for, and how much usage of the hardware it gets. Their estimates are probably some middle ground of 50% of the day and 70% usage or something, with the $28+ meaning you could get more for longer/higher usage. It's unlikely that the average working person, with only a couple hours in the evening with their machines turned on (and also actively using them), would earn nearly that amount for the limited time. Especially gamers, where they have significantly better hardware than the average home pc but likely have much higher usage of the hardware. I doubt my pc with a gtx 970 would earn close to the $32 it mentions as I only use it for a couple hours an evening, and in that time the card is working really hard playing modern games in 4k resolution.
My real point was that they collect so much data about their users and individually it's worth almost nothing. They know a huge amount of stuff about me both online and offline and that's worth $5 this month. It's a little depressing.

First, the post I responded to did not claim that our militaries could reach parity. It claimed that China could conquer the US. That's impossible, preposterous even, and the only thing that could change that is the singularity, and if that happens all bets are off.

Second, even reaching parity is an immensely daunting proposition. If China were to start building ships and aircraft, the US would respond in kind. Right now there's a lot of overhead and waste in the procurement process, that waste would disappear if shit suddenly got real. Sure, we 'only' have 20 carrier groups right now, but there's no reason we can't have 40.

There's two main force multipliers I see that we have that China will never be able to catch up with us on. First, training and experience. The reason we keep a small military manpower-wise is because every US soldier is extremely well-trained. If China conscripted a percentage of their population, they could instantly have a larger army, but that army would then need to be trained in how to conduct modern warfare.

Second, alliances with other countries. The best air-to-air missile right now is the Meteor, it's being developed in Sweden and sold throughout Europe. If China started rising militarily, the US and Europe would immediately start cooperating to counter it by sharing technology.

The US has an enormous amount invested in its military dominance, it will not give that up at any cost. China could not reach parity slowly, as it would never catch up, and it can't reach it quickly, because we'd notice and respond appropriately. It would be such a huge drain on their economy that they'd abandon the effort.

The Soviets never even came close to parity in conventional force projection. The Chinese wouldn't either in a strategic arms race. Even if they did, they'd still never in a million years be able to conquer the US. As well try to conquer the Sun.

Caching is already a privacy issue with etags. HTTP2 doesn't make that situation worse. Besides the web has become so complex and offers so much for fingerprinting, that this battle has been lost long ago.

In order to have actual privacy you'd need to redesign the web from the ground up and consider privacy implications at every step. Even then you might come to the conclusion that it's just not possible to guarantee privacy.

Actually, I'd claim that democratic countries would limit the drastic choices to the short period when it is actively defeating the actual coup. After the coup failed, there is plenty of time to be methodological and not harm the rule of law. If members of some group do something bad, then use the law to fight the wrongdoers for the actual crimes that has been committed.

As for businesses being threatened, how many media businesses have been closed by Erdogan? Free press is not optional for something that claims itself to be a democracy. Turkey is worst in class in that department, and as long as that is the case, whatever people support doesn't really matter, because the leader can dictate what news they see (or not).
