On the last page they discuss this point. Even if buying through new egg, they're saying that 2 of the Xeons ($700 each) still makes an attractive alternative to the single HEDT chip. It really depends on your workload. This stuff is hugely overkill for gaming, and overkill in a way that won't get you more usable performance in games. As mentioned, right now the i7-6700k plus more video cards would be better for gaming, which is largely based on single-threaded performance, IPC, and having a few fast cores.

There is never any reason to re-invent something which big, multi-national corpos have worried about for you for a long time already. It doesn't strike me that anything in the OP post has not already been solved for 99% of us, using the right, freely available and well-documented tools.

The last $350 million round @ a $1.6 billion valuation priced common shares @ $5/share implying ~ 320 million common shares (napkin math ignoring a bunch of other variables). 100,000 options would represent .03125% of the company. Assuming the strike price was at least $500 million (maybe more), that's a gain of $781,250, or ~ 43x on his initial $18k investment. A great angel investment for sure, but perhaps not millions. If that's truly the same number of options that some of the earliest employees were granted (as mentioned in the article), then I feel bad for those employees as they probably deserved a bit more.

That's if the only goal is "security". But we're talking about updates here. I don't think updates and user flexibility are mutually exclusive.

If you do modify your device in a way that it can't be guaranteed that the updates will secure the device anymore (which shouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of user modifications), then you simply lose that "warranty" for updates, or the company is no longer responsible to keep you up to date.

But there are ways in which Google and OEMs can guarantee that for instance an OS image that's clean always resides on a locked-down partition, and that users can always "restore" their devices from that, no matter what other ROMs and whatnot they install on their devices and how many times they unlock the bootloader. The only exception to that may be people that tinker with the lock-down restoration partition as well, but for most custom ROM users that shouldn't be an issue.

So this way 99.9% of the users can still be guaranteed updates, if they want them.

I'm not aware of any rigorous experiments that demonstrate that tomatoes are better left at room temperature than in a refrigerator. The French study referenced indicates that volatiles are reduced (no surprise) but that the effect is partially negated by allowing them to come back to room temperature before consumption. From what I can tell, this study does not compare quality of tomatoes left at room temperature for days to refrigerated tomatoes.

The article I linked did a more in-depth comparison and still came to the same conclusion. http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/09/tomato-taste-test-refrige...

I don't consider 2 separate testings with 16 subjects to be a poor experiment. Could it be even better? Sure. Is it a lot more rigorous than the anecdotal claims people propagate about refrigerated tomatoes? Absolutely.
Hi guys, I'm the original poster. Sorry for joining so late. I read each and every feedback and also updated the medium article. In no particular order:

1) Didn't mean to hand-wave. For the last few months GCP was the new shiny toy for me. I got over excited and plan to do deeper post, battling 2 or more products (i.e Kinesis vs. Pubsub)

2) Not anti-AWS at all. I still find it wonderful: https://lugassy.net/search?q=aws. what really flipped me was this: https://twitter.com/mluggy/status/727764607176159232 and other small anonyances

3) Downsides to GCP. Certainly! added to the article

4) For developers, by developers. I realize this was tacky. Let me try again with 4 examples: a) Trace/breakpoints in production b) Connecting through virtual socket files instead of tcp c) writing and collecting logs centrally with console.log and specifically d) DATAFLOW which is architecturally brilliant (AWS add "Streams" to every new product where GCP simply treat every product as source and/or sink)

5) Yes I favor GCP for simplicity and dev-friendliness. I don't want to train people for AWS devops/gotchas. I don't need sophisticated IAM and VPC to feel smart. GCP ui/quickbar is nicer. For example networking is all on one page. Most products are properly named (CDN instead of CloudFront, DNS instead of Route53, Pub/Sub instead of Kinesis)

6) GAE. I was exposed to some horror stories about its and datastore early days. History aside, I use it today through Flexible VMs which is really docker under the hood + ability to SSH + easy deployment/versioning + cool tracer/debugger. My code is Node.js and haven't coded any GAE specific necessity

Again loved the comments. keep it going!

Lodash is not a "FP" library—it's just a utility belt. And yes, it should be the authoritative IMO as it has the most support, users, and is worked on almost full time. It can be modular and each method can be installed separately, which is awesome.

Ramda is a utility belt that sticks to pure functional practices wherever it can, something the JS community doesn't do, so it shouldn't be the authoritative.

Underscore is dead and was replaced by Lodash.

While it's hard to do the above with all kinds of libraries, there are some where it's easy.
Sending photos of government issued IDs to third parties looks like a very dangerous approach to the problem.

LAX still has electricity but delta's poor infrastructure planning has left a single point of failure in the deep south affecting flights everywhere in the world.

The "all over the world" bit is why there's a single point of failure.

A while back there was a story that made the rounds of aviation geeks, about Delta flying an empty 747 to Korea. That was to replace a 747 which had been badly damaged by hail, to the point that it would be unable to operate its scheduled return flight to the US.

Do you want to guess how many people, parts and places were involved in the "simple" task of dealing with this problem?

At first, the replacement 747 is in storage in a "boneyard" facility in Arizona, due to having been recently retired. So first it has to be pulled from the storage facility, put through basic airworthiness checks and fueled up, and then a flight crew has to be present to fly it to a Delta hub where it can be readied for a trans-Pacific flight.

The hub in question turned out to be Minneapolis. There, the plane has to undergo more work to get it ready for a long flight, and now multiple flight crews have to be present, since they need to rotate in and out over the duration of the flight (that's how you do long flights). Oh, and Minneapolis isn't normally a 747 base; it only gets them during peak travel seasons and on the occasional charter. So crews probably have to be brought in, stores and maintenance setups need to be brought online, etc.

Then the plane can -- finally -- fly out to replace its damaged counterpart, pick up any stranded passengers and bring them to the US. Which will mean flying into yet another hub, since the flight doesn't go back to Minneapolis.

Meanwhile the damaged plane is still sitting there in Korea, and needs to be repaired on-site to get it into minimum airworthy condition to fly home (empty of passengers). It's going to need parts, maintenance crew, flight crews, etc. just like the replacement plane did.

And the deeper you dig the more stuff you'll find like this. Running an airline with global, or even national-across-the-US, service is not something you can decentralize to avoid problems at one operations center. The amount of coordination just of people, parts and planes across widely disparate locations requires centralized operational control instead of devolved regional centers with high autonomy.
In what context did you learn about Gaussian Blurs?
Yeah, I still have a 2500k at 4.6 with no over-volting on air. I wish I had an m2 SSD, but with the GTX1080 and a new 4K IPS TV which also does 120hz at 1080p (Vizio p55-c1, but read the rtings.com review about the lack of true 4:4:4 chroma if you're considering this one), it's been great for 4K and fast action gaming at high frame rates. Has no problem holding 120fps at 1080 with max settings in Overwatch, though I tone some effects down to make it less distracting and easier to spot baddies.

It's crazy to me that this old CPU is still all I need, but the ROI from an upgrade just wasn't worth it. Going from 2X Radeon 6870 to the GTX1080 was a huge performance boost, though, and I'll never deal with multi-GPU again if I can avoid it.
I'm curious how they're protecting this data. Having access to a bunch of raw, high-megapixel ID images is enormously useful for bad actors.

> It matters because a hereditary head of state position (actually, any governmental/establishmentarian position) is a terrible symbol in what should be an egalitarian society, no matter if you have political power or not.

Why should society be egalitarian? Nature isn't.

Why shouldn't society recognise the heirs of great men specially?

I think that the ideal government has voices for the great mass of the people; for the magnates; and for a monarch. The U.K. system — until Tony Blair destroyed it — was good for exactly this, although the removal of the Lords' ability to block legislation, and the addition of life peers were recent mistakes.

Trying to get that Karma up, huh? I'll bite and help you out a bit. I would think the only reason to use XML in a new project would be because it has a schema and you may need your objects "strongly typed." In days past there also wasn't very good support for JSON in C# and other enterprise languages so that extended the XML lifetime.

Most times you're using XML now it's to integrate with a piece of legacy software. Now that most enterprise platforms have good support for JSON, outside of a few special use cases most projects are just going to go with JSON for the convenience of it (no crazy parsers to deal with).

To be fair, there are falsifiable economic theories. For example some theories regarding market failures, like the adverse selection in asymmetrical information markets[1]. We _could_ observe that there is a market that fulfills the criteria for market of lemons, but prices lemons and cherries distinctively.

My issue with economics is that some of the deep core assumptions (utility maximization, strong form of efficient markets etc.) violate so egregiously the falsifiability test.

The most important step for folks that wish to break free for Google: start using a custom domain name as soon as possible. Because the hard part is not moving from one email service provider to another, but getting your new email address in everybody's address books and changing all your site logins.

And if you love your Gmail interface and all the goodies that come with it, thats fine. Get a 1 user Google Apps account ($5/month) and start using your own domain with it. That way you have the freedom to switch to a other provider at any time once you are ready.

I'm not saying that the updates must work on modified devices, I'm more saying that the incentive changes to preventing reverse engineering so that exploits don't happen and updates don't need to happen. Preventing that sort of user level modification, combined with heavy obfuscation and locked down firmwares does prevent reverse engineering by most amateurs and many professionals without a near-unlimited budget. If you can't read the executable for the IPC service, you can't reverse engineer it and you can't find exploits in it.

That's a great quote. Interestingly, it strongly conflicts with the first several paragraphs of the article:

> For all the eloquence and passion and rage in these arguments, however, they suffer from a common flaw: there is no such thing as a protest vote.

> In 2016, that system will offer 130 million or so voters just three options:

> A. I prefer Donald Trump be President, rather than Hillary Clinton.

> B. I prefer Hillary Clinton be President, rather than Donald Trump.

> C. Whatever everybody else decides is OK with me.

> That’s it. Those are the choices. All strategies other than a preference for Trump over Clinton or vice-versa reduce to Option C.

> People who believe in protest votes do so because they confuse sending a message with receiving one.

> But it doesn’t matter what message you think you are sending, because no one will receive it. No one is listening. The system is set up so that every choice other than ‘R’ or ‘D’ boils down to “I defer to the judgement of my fellow citizens.”

Those paragraphs of invective are accurate as to the election, but they are not accurate at all as to US policy -- for the reasons described in your quote! The R and D policy platforms shift over time, as the vote share associated with the existing platforms moves away from 50%. Those "meaningless" protest votes are watched carefully by party operatives, because they are signals that guide what policies the parties shift to.
