"Marriage" had been the English name for the civil unions as well as the religious unions for much longer than the modern separation of Church and State changed those into distinct institutions with the same name.

"Civil union" as an institution name was created in the US for the separate-but-notionally-equal state law institution adopted in some areas while denying civil marriage to same-sex partners.
I think stereotypes still need to taken with a grain of salt since many seem to be derived from n-hand sources which could've been distorted over successive retellings. It's not to say some stereotypes aren't true, but that people shouldn't put stock in them when making a moral judgment about an individual. I treat stereotypes as you would gossip where there's some grain of truth but it's next to impossible to distinguish between that truth and the bunk layered on top of it.
I see two use cases.

1. Give non-technical people a way to answer their own questions using data in a database which would free up analyst time.

2. Give analysts a way to quickly answer a question and they only have to go to SQL for more complicated questions. It is faster for me to type "who is the highest paid employee" than the equivalent SQL even though the SQL is trivial because I don't have to look up the schema and my fingers are better at typing an English sentence than a SQL query.
Their adversaries likely won't make use of the tools for anything serious. They know the NSA already have detection capabilities for their own 0days, and using these tools is a dead giveaway to the NSA that they've been made. An adversary would do well to be very careful about their use of stolen knowledge.

As for it hitting the public like this; I'm not sure we'll see this happening incredibly regularly.
Tom's Hardware nicely demonstrated the non-linearity of power consumption in their desktop GTX1060 review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-...

At factory settings the card draws 120W and pushes ~110fps in their 1440p test, but throttling the power limit down to just 60W only reduced it to ~90fps.

Debian is my favourite OS[0]. I've been using it full time for years: I use it on my desktop and laptop (Debian testing), and servers (Debian stable). I've installed it with big success on parents and siblings computers, and the extended family's computers.

Debian takes freedom seriously[1]

It's getting better with age:

- Since Sarge (2005) there's been release every ~2 years

- Debian LTS allows you to run Debian securely for 5 years (with caveats)

Things I agree with, that may be somewhat controversial:

- Debian takes packaging software seriously (it splits the application and development files)

- Debian follows the FHS (e.g. config goes in /etc, data goes in /var/lib, etc)

- Debian stable is stable. Apart from security patches, it really doesn't change.

Other great things:

- Debian is a great base to build on (see the many derivatives[2])

Cool things to come:

- Reproducible builds[3]

> people shouldn't put stock in them when making a moral judgment about an individual

This is exactly what the article suggests people do, and finds that they do in real life.

"If people relied on their stereotypes more or less rationally, they would rely on them to inform judgments when they had little or no definitive information, but ignore them when they had definitive information. And it turns out this is just what most people do."
I find the guideline described in the article to be quite good. If the decision is important (as for hiring), you should get as much information as you can.

It would be interesting to know if people are good at guessing the uncertainty of a stereotype and if they approximate a Bayesian integration of information.

It is the case for visual, spacial and sensorimotor information. I wouldn't be surprised if it was also the case for social information.
Its still a awesome Editor. Guess most of _us_ moved to Atom meanwhile tho.
100% agree, especially when there's a reasonable chance that the ALB itself is based on Nginx or some other technologies that has no problem with more complex routing rules or hundreds of virtual hosts.

The good news is that it does seem like Amazon is artificially restricting it for now, and intends to further open it up later. From the release blog post [1]:

> As you will see in a moment, each Application Load Balancer allows you to define up to 10 URL-based rules to route requests to target groups. Over time, we plan to give you access to other routing methods.

It takes Russia pointing this out to make us lose trust in the U.S.? I think the U.S. has done this all on their own. Snowden was just the latest whistleblower showing the world they can't be trusted. There were others before him, but it got swept under the rug.

We all know the U.S. election system is flawed to a point of being broken and thus democracy as we like to believe it's supposed to work doesn't even exist. But everyone just accepts that's the way it is and carries on with life because "at least it's not North Korea." If you hadn't already lost faith in the U.S. election system years ago, then you've got your head in the sand.

It might be a hard pill to swallow, but I think if Russia's plan is to make the U.S. wake up and smell the coffee, they're actually doing the U.S. people a huge favour.

Hey koolba,

Most external users do not know how to code SQL (as well as some SQL developers... hehe).
The ability to ask questions in various formats delivers an easy and simple UX.

Use cases include: online banking and credit accounts, Human Resources recruitment staff, executive level officers who have ad-hoc spur of the moment questions, warehouse managers at IKEA.... and the list goes on.

1. What is the average transaction sum for deals completed in June
2. Who are the top 5 employees with the best salary to sales ratio?

Yup, just that your fast loading web page won't get the special treatment that AMP pages get on the search results page
This. So true. No disrespect to the author of (grand-) parent comment, but working in SV or a startup is not always refelective of working elsewhere (in the US or further afield). I'm based in the UK, and had to endure long working hours/insane deadlines early in my career while working for various consultancy firms. Once I moved away from these 'churn and burn' factories, I made a point of working for employers who take care of their employees. Since then I rarely work weekends (never in my current role), and would rarely work more than the required 45 hours a week. Despite this, I find I'm more productive, and achieve more than I ever did earlier in my career when I was working long hours.
Are man pages basically just a slab of informally structured prose, or do they stick to some sort of grammar? I.e. Can they be parsed? Can I query one for something like "the meaning of the command line short option -a", or am I stuck trying to use the pager's search functionality for "-a"?

It's software, but it seems like some sort of digit-coloring scheme for hashes could make fakes easy to spot by eye. The simplest thing would just be a different color for every character (and and pick very distinct colors for similarly-shpaed characters). Or maybe color groups of 3 digits or something.

This would work, but attrs should really be an object (i.e. var attrs = {};), not an array, since you're storing string keys, and stylistically you can just use e.g. attrs.name instead of attrs['name'].
The point is to turn one fairly big hash into a representation where humans can easily spot the differences.

I can never put into words the look on her face when she made, only an hour later, her first three cranks in a row before falling off (it took me 2 days to get that far in my early 30's).

Personally I like the keybase approach for this of tying GPG keys to a set of accounts.

Generally when I'm talking to someone online I know someone via other sites (e.g. twitter, github), so being able to say "the person who controls the account xxx on github, uses this key" lets me establish a level of initial trust.

Obviously for high trust applications that's not enough, but better than nothing...

Not sure, could have to do with early marketing in the 80s - we all know academia likes to stay on a path regardless of new developments. Could be as simple as "Mathematica" has math in its name and was developed by a physicist...and "Matlab" has lab in its name. Fickle folks, idk.

"Hackers are perfectly capable of hearing the voice of the customer without a business person to amplify the signal for them. Larry Page and Sergey Brin were grad students in computer science, which presumably makes them "engineers." Do you suppose Google is only good because they had some business guy whispering in their ears what customers wanted? It seems to me the business guys who did the most for Google were the ones who obligingly flew Altavista into a hillside just as Google was getting started.

...

And compared to the sort of problems hackers are used to solving, giving customers what they want is easy. Anyone who can write an optimizing compiler can design a UI that doesn't confuse users, once they choose to focus on that problem. And once you apply that kind of brain power to petty but profitable questions, you can create wealth very rapidly"

> After what happened with both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union misrepresenting scientific research to 'support' their policies, I suspect a lot of researchers want to avoid their own work being used for the same purposes.

But we have the same effect, anyway. Take a look at the underlying scientific research regarding some politically-charged issues and you'll realise that many of the things all right-thinking people know are poorly-supported, or aren't supported, or simply aren't true at all.

Most people don't want truth: they want to feel good.

Why would they do that? Its more likely they'll be kept for other attacks or sold to nation states for vast profits.

I also suspect there's nothing magical going on at the NSA. Whatever zero days they have are probably had by other intelligence agencies and hacking groups. Whether to report them publicly is a political decision that these groups have zero incentive to make. Ethical researchers and white hats, from my understanding, are a very small part of the scene, or at least the part of the scene that gets real results.
Given that is half of the salary of many people in the peninsula and above the Portuguese minimum wage, it looks expensive to me.

Many people complain about the Twitter format and I agree. Fortunately, Twitter allows people to use about 2KB of text in a tweet, if you encode it as a URL:

Example tweet: https://twitter.com/lucb1e/status/765544321747718144

This uses a third party site to display, but the data is all in the URL. Anyone could verify that the site (my site in this case) is not tampering with the content.

It creates and exacerbates more obvious symptoms, yes. Companies that couldn't transition to the PC era. Likewise for the internet, mobile, etc.

Some companies make that purchase, fail to reconcile new tech with old (also tech debt) and waste piles of money

Open Science:The Case for a Decentralized Autonomous Academic Endorsement System
Large companies attract a particular type of executive: they see what a company's current strength is, and try to leverage that strength into advantages in other areas by sheer force, rather than competing and producing better products or services. It's perceived by a lot of people as ramming a product or service down people's throats, it creates resentment, and at the margin - where the leveraged strength approaches monopoly - it's illegal.

I'm of the opinion that infestation of upper ranks of companies by these kinds of people is what ultimately leads to their demise (or rather, regression to the mean of mediocrity). These people use up goodwill and generate resentment. When they're given too much leeway, they can push hard enough to attract government anti-trust attention and tie the company up in knots for years. They suck the soul out of companies by promoting a nihilistic vision of capitalism. They encourage attributing cynical motivations about any future action of the company (think Microsoft); it can take decades to shake that off.

So, the risks are both reputational and potentially regulatory, and they're cumulative. Yes, Google has cost goodwill in the past; but they don't have zero goodwill yet, and nor do they have infinite goodwill.

The new $16 price point was news to me. I'd seen the $0.008 from Amazon's blog post, but never broke out the calculator. Especially given that unlike the ELB you can get support for multiple apps on one, it's great to see some cost savings there.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has an inkling of how Amazon implemented in the ALB. It seemed to be a loosely guarded secret that ELBs were actually just a forked version of HAProxy, and I wonder if they went that direction again versus implementing their own software from scratch.
