His first, concurrent OS was RC 4000 in 1969. It had many mechanisms in place. He got the key parts of the safety problem figured out by 1972. His language to handle much of it statically at compile-time was done in 1975. His Boss 2 system same year used coroutines + similar concepts to run 100 activities at a time with a proof of deadlock freedom. Finally, he used Concurrent Pascal to implement Solo system which ran its processes safely without using physical, memory protection. These summaries came from "Evolution of Operating Systems" on 2nd link.

So, the stuff was well-established by the mid-70's with operating systems using it in production. Just ignored by mainstream like a lot of good stuff for various reasons. ;)

I work on enterprise video for a number of years and the biggest problem isn't a delivery platform, it's infrastructure being ill suited for video.

A lot of enterprises are setup with a Spoke-Hub topology where all network data passes through the hub. Sometimes this is done for auditing purposes, and other times it's for security. Sometimes remote offices do not have internet access despite an internet connection. Their edge routers just use a VPN tunnel or MPLS network back into the hub.

In the end it's no distribution that kills but bandwidth. That why peer-to-peer video and multicasting are still around. Because in a lot of cases you can have one person browsing Youtube or watching a webcast from his desk and it will completely saturate the office data line.

I believe this is due to them being a French entity and the French laws or banking systems requiring this. But I could be wrong, I'm basing it on the fact that Gandi had the same thing unit they created a US Entity which could do the billing. I'm guessing this is not far away for OVH either now.
Which means it was misclassified, as Medicare patients are not paying for Epinephrine, but for the pen.
I have to agree with you on this one. But not as a "father with no opportunity". While I am not advocating or condoning what scammers in India do, I do have to add the following:

1) 1 USD is around 66 INR, so almost everyone is ingrained that people in USA are richer. Furthermore, the fact that stuff is perceived as "cheaper" in USA has not helped (even those who earn minimum wage in USA, can afford the latest iPhone, can't say the same about those in India).

2) Scammers can't see the damage they cause.

3) Some scammers don't even know they are scammers. (Especially the ones in IT that try to sell you anti-virus software claiming that your computer is infected).

4) personal note: I wonder what the sentence would be, if say it were US scammers, scamming Indians.
The worst case scenario will be a website where it is very hard to impossible for law enforcement to scrape or retrieve phone numbers from and prostitution is blended in with normal activity. Turns out it already exists: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

I think what Shyp is doing is absolutely incredible for consumers.

I'm responsible for 100s of shipments per day, and I'm genuinely curious how they got around this restriction, as our order and shipping management system vendor doesn't allow us to rate shop UPS against other carriers (although both the Shippo and EasyPost APIs do allow this, whether directly or simply by providing the information required).
Brain training games use too much of the left, 'linear', analytical side of the brain. Meditation brings the right, 'rich', creative side to bear on a problem.

I recommend drawing as a meditative activity. The following books have been helpful:

Games like Factorio and Minecraft didn't even exist. It's not a stretch to call FTL and Spelunky the best rouge-like games so far. Ocarina of Time, even with its huge nostalgia bias, is less re-playable than A Link Between Worlds. CS:GO basically amplifies everything good about CS 1.6 and CS:Source then adds the competitive support. Similarly, DOOM (2016) takes everything (Except perhaps the mod-ability and level design) that made Doom so good and improves it.
The follow up is that sun ended up having trouble making money and sold to Oracle, while Microsoft ended up being a juggernaut who even in its bad time stayed one of the most stable and lucrative company in the world.
Close, but wrong,

You should store it highest precision, but calculate on a configurable rounding scheme.
Some accounting systems always round line items to 2 decimal places, some always round with 3.
Some round tax to 3 DP because it's a regulatory requirement.

You would think it doesn't matter much, but in many places it does -- especially businesses that sell many, small priced items, and have invoices that are thousands of lines long .. 2dp/3dp rounding (and rounding on discount % calculations too) can mean that invoices are 10's or hundreds of dollars out.

Store high precision, calculations are configurable.
> Why is it that in such cases, the government reaches for the CEO right away; but when Wells Fargo employees open millions of fraudulent accounts, it's not the CEO's fault?

Probably because a corporation like Wells Fargo will have extensive documentation of procedures and training that establishes sufficient evidence that there were efforts to constrain employee behavior to lawful acts in pursuit of the metrics which they ended up maximizing through unlawful acts that it will take a lot of digging, at a minimum, to have a viable case of executive criminal culpability.

My wife teaches math at a community college level, meaning she often needs to teach students who are paralyzed by fear of fractions (or worse, negative numbers). Many of her students are also adults. She tells me things like "If I ask one of these adult students a question involving negative numbers, and I phrase it in terms of money and debt, they answer it immediately. If I ask them using just numbers, they have no clue." These students do not know how to take a concept they've used their entire lives to balance their checkbooks, and abstract it beyond money.

I would conjecture that in most cases of "activities that stimulate your brain", the key to generalization requires another skill: being able to abstract a skill you have learned from one situation, and then specialize it to another situation. And this skill needs practicing. I also conjecture that a small fraction of the population actively does this, and this could explain why the results aren't statistically significant. E.g. meditation actively encourages introspection and generalized mindfulness in any situation, whereas crosswords and Chess are played for their own sake.
In the end that doesn't really matter as the result stays the same. Sure you can openly implement EME but not the CDM, but without the CDM EME is pointless.
Indeed. Regions are 20 years old. Substructural types are 30 years old. Type inference is 40 years old. Hierarchical module systems fancier than Rust's are at least 30 years old. With the exception of regions, all this stuff is older than I am, myself. But Rust took all these isolated good ideas and made a practical programming language out of it.

Consider the possibility that a few moments of compassionate reflection have lead Alice to conclude that when Bob says he loves what he does, it's not because Mallory is forcing him to say that.

It's all well and good to say that it's against your own morals, but as soon as you start defending that on the basis of the consequences, you're conceding the "but it's just morally wrong!" argument. And in general, we (okay, at least I, as I can believe that you wouldn't necessarily agree here) laud societies that have transitioned from deontological to consequentialist ethics.
> Just for clarification, your position is that the only class of services that are immoral to exchange currency for are sexualy oriented services. Is that correct?

Not at all, it's also immoral to purchase assassinations and many other things both illegal and legal. They're not germane to the question of prostitution though.

Prostitution is qualitatively different than other "services" or even non-prostitution sex work (phone sex operator, erotic fiction writer, even some pornography) because it involves purchasing direct access to and use of the prostituted person's body. That is the problem with prostitution, not the fact that it's about sex per se.

It's simply a matter of the human condition that the (male) sex drive is the most common thing that, when left unexamined and unchecked, results in such a system where people's bodies are reduced to the objects of economic transaction.

I've probably burned enough internet points on this thread, but if you want to read far better-researched and better-stated writing on this subject than mine, http://www.feministcurrent.com/category/prostitution-2/ is a good place to start. It's a shame that religious and social conservative voices are often the only ones being represented and considered on this subject. It's a shame that men on the left and atheist men should feel deeply.
Actually I know of a couple projects that have played with using CL as an intermediate language because of the performance they got compiling with SBCL.
There is no excuse for not securing your network to allow spoofing from it. Most of the big players like leaseweb or ovh do not allow that. But there are some providers that still allow you to spoof source ip address. There should be consensus about droping routes on BGP level to networks that send packets with source ips that they do not announce. It's really simple to drop packets on switches/routers that do not originate from your network. It would make ddosers life harder.

Ah, I see now. Thank you for clarifying. Not that I agree entirely, mind, just that your initial comment was clarified.
You can usually tell from a roughly how old a person is just from reading their resume. If they list themselves as a team lead in 1990, then you can be pretty sure that they are at least 50. I would guess that the judge wants to limit to people who had in-person interview because that shows that they were at least close to getting the job. If you have gotten past the phone interview stage then you have already demonstrated basic competence.

If you're trying to fill a junior position, then you don't want to hire someone who has been working as a chief architect for the last 10 years. It's not about their age. It's about the fact that they are way overqualified and will probably quit as soon as they can find something that they are qualified for.
Lots of companies fail to survive Silicon Valley forever. Yahoo!'s future aside, the conversation was about promotion, not ailing companies.

A lot of women are routinely overlooked in management promotions. Since its 80% (or usually much more) men in every other company in Silicon Valley, we'll have to call discrimination and incompetence at all of them?

The assumption that women can't possibly belong in management is galling. No mystery why Silicon Valley has the reputation it does.

> The interesting question is, what happened when whistleblowers told them it was happening anyway? Apparently, the answer is that they fired the whistleblowers. That says everything about what Wells Fargo really wanted

It says everything about what the people in the loop of those decisions wanted, perhaps, but those people (at least, those for whom there is a known paper trail of them being in the loop) are probably several steps removed from the CEO. They also probably also maintained enough of a paper trail of the notional reasons that they were firing the people involved that, while its a reasonable inference from the association between whistleblowing and firing that there was an ulterior motive, it would be far from certain that that could be established to the degree necessary for that to the basis of criminal culpability.

I don't see the obfuscation of the client and server separation .Net Web Forms have.

It is declarative, just like the .Net, but I don't think it will bring the same kind of problems. What will probably happen is that when things get complex, you'll have to manually write the complex parts - that's a very sensible "problem" in my opinion.

Yes, but establishing the former (which is a crime) as opposed to the latter (which is an internal business matter for Wells Fargo) is the tricky part.
But there were other distractions. We can always find distractions. This is as good of a hypothesis as any I've seen, but I agree that we don't really know yet why meditation works. Does walking meditation do the same thing? Meditative Tai Chi? Playing basketball "in the zone?" Or even playing video games "in the zone?"
AT&T pulled fiber in San Jose and Sunnyvale about a month ago. Supposed to be lit up around the end of the year. Other cities are possible as well, those are just the two where I've actually seen the fiber.

> That it technically works on other browsers is a requirement but optimizing for the competition's browsers is not something I imagine management allocates hours for.

Youtube exists to sell ads, and a slow browsing experience on any device or browser does not serve that goal. So while Chrome may be their default testing environment, there's a very strong incentive to have it work well across the board.
Ah yes, that's true. Totally forgot about that. Thanks!
Absolutely, which is why I would like to hold people who choose to purchase sex accountable for their human rights violations. They have agency; they have the choice not to purchase sex and yet they do so anyway.

Good try, but no, because my personal data can help them earn money (through advertising or other means), which Alphabet can use for funding their research in other areas.
I'd really like to see problems like this addressed in another way. I'd like to see that people have other alternatives - so that being turned down for a job isn't a life destroying experience.

I think of "corporativism" - where multiple interest groups are involved in creating policies. In Scandinavia they decided to allow companies to "fire at will" in exchange for free education and a good social safety net. But I think that system can be much improved, with much better alternatives.
I've been to a few of those and while they're fun, they're only like the modern Burning Man because of association ans they don't have the same scale or funding. Burning Flipside, in Texas, was really really fun though.
