I think you might be overestimating the worldwide impact of that, though. AMDs are used for "mining crypto" - they're the best for that purpose - and no, that also is nothing to write home about. Despite being very present in my personal circles.

The amount of people doing either is minuscule in comparison to gaming. Those buying big for datacentres are definitely accounted for by nVidia. They don't buy GTX cards.
This is actually a really good idea, as it would ensure that there is a citizen behind each Twitter account. Currently this lack of control hinders implementation of more effective systems for combating online abuse such as a social credit score system.

The point of political campaign is to win, not to take the high ground. He took money from millions of people and flushed it down the toilet with that line.
But ~3% is also what that tutorial found, and IME, is not the norm. Most other video cards that I've tried get much less than that. I'd love some kind of stats that show what the average performance difference is.

Additionally, video-card drivers are still buggy and fragile. And it's not just video cards, but wifi and sound as well.
Of course, if that weren't the case, there wouldn't be anyone around to feel lucky. :)
The source code is not the only condition for security. However it drastically decreases the threshold for the audits. People can even make a crowdfunding campaign and pay to professionals like it was done with TrueCrypt.

But even without such a campaign, evil developers would be in a constant danger that someone may discover a backdoor. It is a very unstable situation: just one person is enough to make a lot of noise, and everyone could be this person. And yes, people do read the sources:

I watched someone play "The Last of Us" and "Uncharted 4" the whole way through. It was very enjoyable (partially because I found someone who could keep their mouth shut through a lot of the cut scenes), and I knew I was probably never going to play through those games all the way through.
In this vein does anyone know if there are treatments for radiation poisoning that aren't purely palliative?
League of Legends has over 100 million active players a month. Dota 2 has around 39 million. Steam has over 125 million active, with 9 million concurrent users during peak hours. The free to play games market is enormous.
Absolutely right. But, on the flip side, this may be the situation the contractor wanted. Based only on the info I have, I'd speculate it's possible the contractor knew about the large number of installs and even pushed for that along the way.

According to this short article, the contract they were hoping for was truly enormous. There's certainly incentive for the contractor to let the Navy install as many copies at it wants to use, because the more the Navy wants the software, the higher likelihood of big money. Whether the Navy pays for it first, or gets itself in a bind and ends up on the hook for fees, either way the contractor gets a lot of money.
Apparently, lot's of people have FB as their only source of news.

Now, if "news media" like Breitbart or tabloids are really much better, I wont comment on.

But it's still troublesome.
No one deserves attention merely because they are speaking.
The article is woefully lacking by not answering the question that everyone who starts to read the article must have on their mind: was the cause of his death related to radiation exposure?
Quite possibly, the 38 licenses was the number deemed necessary, after negotiations, for the purpose of a limited trial. It usually goes something like "OK, we need 20 licenses for the lab, 6 for the devs to use when integrating with XYZ and a further dozen for demos, laptops and some flexibility in testing."

Most small ISVs would deeply discount or otherwise sweeten that deal with the expectation of negotiating a large scale site license once testing is successful. 500k seat would probably be discounted drastically to something like 10m $ / year (BS Contact seems to sell for 300 euros / license.)
To add to that, on the terminal part of the trajectory, visual navigation works exceptionally well. The missile matches video from its camera with a pre-downloaded aerial or satellite images. For example, BGM-109 Tomahawk have that thing on-board.

At the root principle of the article, I agree that a platform which spreads erroneous information should be held accountable in some fashion - but it's the following kind of set up that is troublesome:

>In addition to doing more to weed out lies and false propaganda, Facebook could tweak its algorithm so that it does less to reinforce users’ existing beliefs, and more to present factual information. This may seem difficult, but perhaps the Silicon Valley billionaires who helped create this problem should take it on before setting out to colonize Mars.

Right, in principle Facebook should do this for the benefit of society, but on a practical consideration, would becoming a highly-involved arbiter of content be good for making money? Facebook isn't under any legal mandate to act as a referee - consider it unfortunate if you like, but I kind of shrug it off. Individual user responsibility should be a noteworthy counter-point, because as trite as it might sound, if Facebook is rife with issues and rot, then going there is probably not a good idea. If they happen to make more money by allowing junk in their system, then that's their decision to make. Eventually will it cost them users?

>The company’s business model, algorithms and policies entrench echo chambers and fuel the spread of misinformation.

If they want to serve up a garbage buffet and make a profit from it, I can't sit back and scold them too hard, I just have to excuse myself. It's not just on Facebook - commenting communities of any sort tend to generate clusters of like-minded folk. "Right" thinking or "wrong" thinking. Personally I don't walk around downtown digging through the trash for my lunch, and I don't get my worldview from Facebook. I do keep up with some people, but can count my weekly minutes on the site with two hands pretty much. Just my approach, YMMV.
My stack would be: Java or (better) Kotlin, JAX-RS, bean validation, JPA, CDs or Guide, Postgres. I've no clear preference for front-end.
The wikipedia states:

It may be a better phrasing.
YouTube is like passively watching TV. You can't be expected to know if the Cartoon Channel has properly licensed all of its cartoons. BitTorrent is different because the consumer is also a distributor, although the process is so streamlined that users often don't realize what they're doing or the significance of it.
I'm not sure what your threshold of "soundly" is, but it's not a margin of 10000 people were talking about. It's an odd word to take exception to.

It's a genuine question Americans need to ask though: if presidents can win while losing the popular vote, does the current electoral college system exist only to enable that? Or can/should it do more in exceptional cases?

I'd argue that if the only reason the current system exists is to allow the Republican party to win on a popular loss (which is what it enables, Democrats only take the presidency with huge popular vote margins) then it should be no surprise that we are seeing widespread protests and civil disobedience.

I suppose were lucky that Democrats as a whole are less likely to own a gun.
Once you're a small country sharing the grid with a big neighbor , I'd imagine it would be very difficult to go independent after.

I think it's too early to tell if these fake stories had any effect on people's political leanings, so diving in without knowing much about it is a bit of a different kind of fake news. It's hunches and opinions without critical examination.

Now it's definitely a question to ask but I'm afraid it's being asked as a way to explain Hillary's loss because it's easier to find a scapegoat than look introspectively --and Dems at least publicly say we want to avoid scapegoating, politically speaking.

In the end, I wonder, had Hillary won, would be seeing the same examination? Would we have people at the Times wondering if Hillary had won because of the spread of false news, or wonder about a conspiracy to railroad Bernie? Hard to say, but one wonders.

On the other hand, I can't agree more that they should surface more than mostly self-reinforcing news or information to their users.
Telcos are very hard places to live today.

I totally got your point and you actually convinced me of it. I do wonder though if given the diversity and disparity of income banning guns wouldn't help getting the homicide rate down. Even though the guns aren't causing the issue (as you well demonstrated) they might be exacerbating it. We are not gonna make the US magically less diverse and unfortunately won't close the income gap over night.

I was still curious though if there are other countries with the same diversity and wealth gap. That's what prompted my original comment.
Other good examples of value objects are:

- EmailAddress

- PhoneNumber

- FullName

- Address

Perhaps it's just my domain, but I find myself very often defining equality to various degrees for these concepts.

In fact I create value classes for any value that can have multiple valid encodings (e.g. keys and hashes in crypto, dollar value, etc). It makes it very easy to have all encoding/decoding code in one obvious place (in or near the object code). Encoding and decoding can then happen at the edges, and the core of the logic becomes much more readable ... but this gets into the Domain Object territory.

I made myself a program that downloaded & organized torrent music files; it was customizable so that %a/%y - %d meant store underneath <artist name>/<year> - <album name>. It was one of first projects I ever coded, and eventually got to point where main thread would lock up cause I was doing so much processing on it. As anyone who does this kinda work knows, main thread processes graphics, so when it would freeze up for 10-20 seconds I really had no idea what was going on and started doing all this crazy stuff before figuring out how to handle threads.

I don't believe he is in denial at all.

In fact the article strikes me as more of the same reason why so many voted for Trump. The people who write these articles just can't accept the idea that people didn't vote for Trump unless they were tricked into it, or were fed lies. The idea that because they have a different reality they based their votes on never occurred to them.

What fake news do is reinoforce what people already believe to be true which is quite another discussion and anyone who have been debating with some 9/11 truther knows that no amount of data will convince them of anything else and neither are you going to be convinced it's suddenly true even though we all have been bombarded with claims from friends.

Also maybe my facebook feed is different, maybe my friends are different but I had and still have plenty of disagreement in my feed plenty of articles pointing both ways.

Here is a good example from my feed.

Despite what people may think, there is a point to the Electoral college, it's to allow states that are large, but not as populated to offset states that just have a large amount of people.

It's gone either way several times where the popular and electoral don't quite match. However, that is kind of the point.

Frankly, I didn't vote for either of them, but this level of craptastic behavior really needs to stop. It doesn't do anybody any good...

"Atari’s games came with no manual and needed to be uncomplicated enough that a stoned freshman could figure them out. The only instructions for its Star Trek game were: “1. Insert quarter. 2. Avoid Klingons.”

Older cruise missiles with less sophisticated guidance systems flew at higher altitudes, but that made them susceptible to anti-missile defences (from lasers to David's Sling).

Modern ones "skim" along the terrain, this massively reduces their radar detection range (due to the horizon) and allows them to navigate around known defensive measures.

This is also why both the US and Russia has spent millions of dollars on extremely sensitive microphones to literally "hear" an incoming cruise missile.

A system like this, combined with a system to combat high altitude cruise missile attacks, could theoretically work. Or certainly limit/disrupt the ability for very low altitude weapons to enter your territory uncontested.

Plus low altitude drones definitely have a future, particularly against a technologically advanced nation.

Nice low-effort comment punk.

The electoral college was created as a part of the three fifths compromise. In order to get southern states on board, the framers needed to find a clever way to count slaves as population without letting them vote. Three-fifths plus the electoral college let them do that. It's an ugly hack that should be patched.

And don't give me any of that "republic" crap. As if anyone has any idea who their electors are, or cares. No voter honestly thinks they are selecting an elector qualified to relay popular opinion to the government. They're voting for the president.

The EC was imagined in an era where people thought the government would be more a federation of states than a central government. That is not what we have today. The system does not make sense in the current context.

Maybe you'll play the "regional interests" card. Sure. Is it any more fair that a minority candidate can be elected by the less populous states, rather than having a majority candidate elected by the more populous states? No. It's a facile argument that falls apart with any examination.

Given the poor modern justification for the EC, and all of the negative externalities it causes (election of less popular candidates, voter suppression and apathy in partisan states, etc.), it deserves to be abolished.

Right, it's not pure OOP. It's "only" missing strong encapsulation. Trying to implement really private properties in Python doesn't work too well, the language isn't designed for it and it's not considered 'Pythonic'.

All I meant is that everything is an object. It doesn't have strong encapsulation, but you can't get away from its weak encapsulation, since the basic types are objects.
Ok valid point. I didn't verify that because it wasn't a central part of the argument.

However note, you also missed other parts like Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaidjan? Was that intentional? I don't know, perhaps saying "a majority of post-Soviet states have been labeled by Freedom House as having press freedom issues" is not that controversial?

The original discussion diverged into something else that basically say even "free" press doesn't mean what people think it means. And I brought CNN as an example?
