Minecraft bears absolutely no interface similarity to any other Microsoft product. What you're saying happens and is already happening with the educational discounts on MS Office, but Minecraft doesn't contribute to that at all.

I can see that it might be creating familiarity with the company name (or is it? what fraction of people distinguish between OEM, OS and software vendor?), but unlike gas stations and hotels I don't see software as a place where that matters a lot.
This is a good thing to do. Rather than host all your DNS records at any one provider, split them across two.

That allows you to keep on running even if your provider suffers a DDos, or outage. (As Dyn famously did recently.)
Well, you can't solve it in the general case. But parallelizing compilers can and have been written that perform a conservative analysis -- they can prove some subset of all parallelizable loops as parallelizable, and for the ones they can't prove as such, they err toward 'remain serialized'.

For a simple example, code that performs regular array-based accesses, where index computations are simple affine functions (a*i + b) of a single iteration variable 'i', is a case that's received a lot of attention. See e.g. Polly for LLVM.
We in the XMPP community work hard to make "Jabber" secure. Forward secrecy, federation and client scoring, carefully constructed extensions. But without end-to-end encryption like PGP or something, you're open to attack. There are some really neat specs that work on making this more transparent and better, but yes, you can't just blindly use someone else's service and go "it's secure."
Okay, so there's 1.5GB of RAM total in the cluster. How much of that is taken up by the OS and how much is taken up by the Kubernetes components? Can I reasonably expect to run more than just one application on this setup?
I think that's because people don't want to get killed. That 'certain religion' is known for mindlessly killing people. No, I'm not talking about Buddhism.
Absolutely. Because there's no money in doing anything else. ESPN is behind many, but is facing this reality more and more.
What's the temperature down there?
If this is so true, they should have erred in the other direction. Made the cable plug into usb-c by default, and make the wall connector usb-c as well. Then people like you can just keep it plugged into the wall and sync by iCloud, and I can plug my phone into my damn laptop without buying a new cable.
Pure speculation here, so I'm probably completely wrong, but I imagine it's so that they can essentially reduce the amount of seeking. Glacier uses magnetic tape storage, I think, and I believe each tape has to physically be inserted into a machine to be read, and then be removed afterward. So there would be some downtime as tapes are swapped in/out. Therefore, it would make sense to aggregate reads ahead of time and maybe even physically reorder whole tape accesses to reduce the time it takes to load them.

But this wouldn't explain why the read rate factors into cost. Maybe they scatter data across tapes as well, and higher bandwidth requires loading more tapes concurrently?

Again, total conjecture. Please let me know which parts are wrong and which are right.

The proposed censorship seems to be to force sites to have proper age verification of _visitors_. I don't know how they will achieve that without forcing memberships backed by some kind of credit card or other such thing. I believe that would block out a majority of visitors.
I could take a stab.

Polls were specifically rigged to show a Democrat victory.

I suspect that's what he's referring to.

There are only a few owners of American media, and they have their agenda. This election cycle was a bit odd in that the normal right-leaning media companies were aligned with the left-leaning ones, so you got bad-mouthing of Trump all-around.

Once the right-leaning media realised they were about to put Hillary into the White House, they did an about face and started doing their normal biased reporting.

Meanwhile, the left-leaning media kept their bias strong from the start.

This seems to be playing out similarly in Great Britain, with their media taking sides, and at the moment, the left-leaning market forces are stronger. I suspect this is due to the huge benefits globalism brings to the media owners and their financial friends.

The problem is, the population at large doesn't benefit from globalism as directly and obviously as the media owners, so they're not playing along with the game anymore.

Just a guess, mind you. GP might be on about something else.

Even in drought, California has a lot of water. Imported water is only necessary so long as we irrigate the central valley. We wouldn't need it just for residential use.

I think an independent California would have a good relationship with Mexico. Though I'm interested in why you think we wouldn't.
But before anyone took relativity seriously, two things happened:

1. A constant speed of light independent of any reference frame turned out to be a logical consequence of the empirically-verified laws of electromagnetism, and

2. Measurements of the speed of light confirmed that it was constant in all reference frames we were capable of measuring.

Where is the corresponding theory and empirical observations to support dualism?
There's no point for someone who voted for Hillary to guess why another person voted for Trump. What is the point of prospect theory when you can just ask the people and get it straight from the horses mouth.

If you voted for Trump... Why did you vote for him over Hillary?

>but I really wonder what Apple's strategy is going forward, because its clear that they've slowed down or stopped development on everything other than their phones/pads and the occasional laptop.

Their strategy is simple and obvious, and straight out of a modern American business school textbook: reduce or eliminate product lines that aren't making big profits, and continue milking the product lines that are making big profits. This means bigger profits company-wide.

>What is the use of having hundreds of billions in the bank if you're not investing it in growing or creating product lines?

Why bother doing that when you can just continue milking your cash cow product lines when you have hordes of cultish buyers happy to give you all their money for your overpriced products? Obviously, they've found that this works great with some products (phones, tablets), and not too well with other products (WiFi APs), so it's perfectly sensible for them to drop the latter.

Will this bite them in the ass later? Looking at Apple customers, I seriously doubt it.
Sorta. The basis for your concern underlines one of the problems. When such gaffs happen in engineering, the firm is blamed. Within the firm, individual actors are blamed.
In software, on the other hand, your major system might have responsibility for a critical system spread across a total of 1 persons, so he gets all the blame. Is that really okay for one hip-shooter to take this on in the first place?
Yes, yes. Hold Emacs hostage Mr. Stallman. That'll make everyone stay up all night hacking to bring your lackluster platform to parity with its competition.

There's a real need for innovation and great ideas to better support all manner of open community resources, free software and beyond. But stupid control games are totes better than all
that.

This video was seriously impressive even while knowing that self driving cars exist. It answers a lot of the questions that pertain to driverless cars.

It had pedestrians, stop signs, cyclists, somewhat hazy conditions (hazier fog conditions are certainly possible), and parallel parking. It's truly amazing how capable this auto pilot is and I am certain this is a glimpse into the future of how automated cars will operate.

Can't wait for the day when my commute doesn't involve my obedience of mindless traffic laws and I can be productive while sitting and being transported to my destination.
If you’re willing to use the canvas instead of SVG, it’s even easier. You can draw the path in one coordinate system, then change the coordinate system for the action of stroking the path, which will not change the location of the path on screen but will let you effectively make the stroke into an arbitrary ellipse.

more about the stack. Are C vars really stack slots?

Nope. "Stack" is an implementation detail. The C standard (I only looked at ISO/IEC 9899:1999) doesn't mention the word "stack" even once.
I should like to see published evidence of the effectiveness of Internet ads. I'm of the firm belief that Internet advertising is virtually useless. I think it almost exclusively benefits the ad networks and a minority of high-traffic ad-carrying websites.

One paper (DOI 10.3386/w20171), relating to search ads, concluded that they saw a strong correlation between people who click on ads and people who already regularly purchase from the advertising vendor. i.e. When a vendor pays for clicks on search ads, most of the time they're paying for people who would have bought from them anyway. In that study, for campaigns where naive analysis implies there was a 4000% ROI, an analysis which takes the correlation into account indicated a negative ROI.

I know from experience that another confounding factor is that marketing departments and agencies often have perverse incentives. Campaigns are often judged by the net revenue from customers who interacted with that campaign, which incentivizes campaigning towards the people already most likely to buy whatever is being advertised.

Additionally, even if Internet ads do influence their viewers, the most likely influence it has on people who see it despite having installed an ad blocker is to make them dislike the host website and the advertiser.
Finance Is Not the Economy
>Apple can charge outrageous prices for their products, and people love them despite/because of that. Can't understand why they'd stop making monitors.

My guess is that there's just not enough profit in it. Monitors last a really long time, and while people like your friend will ooh and ahh over them, that doesn't necessarily translate into sales, and since they don't need to be replaced every year, they won't have the built-in profit that their phones have. It's probably the same with their WiFi access points.
Why not to use FB in one classic line: you are the product being sold, everything else is just an illusion. Case in point: in FB. ads you can even target specific individuals.

The only problem is that like every social illusion it creates a social contract which makes it hard to get out of it - mostly because it will feel like being isolated from the "world" and in losing that perfectly crafted new "self/identity" will shatter the ego (we all know the ego doesn't enjoy being messed with).

Even if one is using it "just" for the messenger part, one is still part of all of this.

I'm not sure why would anyone use FB. to get new opportunities, FB. et al should not be taken seriously since most create their own persona on it akin to an MMORPG where one can literally choose to act like an Apache helicopter.

Moreover FB. is pure evil at its core: it's a global scale psychological experiment that future generations will refer to as: "those decades where everyone diluted their identity online, forgot about their "real" selves and thus slowly became clinically insane".

Some of the other arguments in the article are so broad that one can apply them to the Internet as a whole e.g. "distraction free work: just unplug your cable or disconnect your wi-fi"
You're doing it wrong. Apple wants you to just sync with iCloud; if you want to do things differently than how Apple wants you to do things, then you're not a very good Apple customer. You need to stop trying to think different.
There are deer in Australia, but if they're anything like the deer in New Zealand, they tend to stay well away from humans, since deer hunting is a lot less restricted (since they are introduced).
As an extreme social liberal (as I am) I do find the current "liberal" atmosphere rather stifling. It doesn't help that I'm a white male, either. I'm told I'm part of the problem.

To that, I say: "Well, then. I guess I'll just bow out and let you guys handle that Trump fellow on your own. I'm not about to lend a helping hand anymore." It's actually rather liberating to know I don't need to put any effort into the political arena. I can just sit back, relax, and laugh at the spectacle.
> Seems like all you can determine is that you once bought $x and once sold $y.

That's all that matters. Your gains (or losses) are $y - $x.

> it seems like there's nothing stopping someone from always taking the least expensive taxes first.

Yes. If you had some with gains and some with losses, you could even choose to sell those at a loss in order to offset other gains.
Three things, their voting record, their party registration, and any demographic information you can figure out.

The voter lists I've seen in NJ and PA tell you what elections voters have voted in, so you can eliminate registered voters that don't bother to vote. Additionally, in NJ, the school board elections were on a different date (in the spring) than the general election, so you could really target the 3-4% of voters who actually bothered to vote for school board.

Party registration is provided and be helpful if you want to position yourself as the democrat or republican, even if the race is technically nonpartisan.

If you want to target particular ethnic groups (latino, south asian, korean, chinese) you can do searches for common first or last names. Grouping by address can help you figure if there's a family living here - you also get date of birth - and maybe they've got a kid that just graduated from high school and might be more interested in a particular school issue. Some basic SQL skills can go a long way here.
I think k8s is "cheating" the private cloud story quite a bit. There are very few on-metal production deployments using k8s. This is because some of the harder problems of setting up load balancers, multiple masters, etc has not been really solved.

in fact, just yesterday, there was a new post on the group to create a SIG-Metal ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oYtW7fgSJsQDl-ln6ETvAQrN...) because there's so less information.

load balancer integration is written for all cloud providers... but not for metal (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/pkg/clo...). there's experimental integration with haproxy/traefik in contrib... but not in production.

the reason is evident - a lot of the difficult parts of k8s is being "outsourced" to the underlying cloud platform.

k8s needs to fix this fast... because the real disruption is being able to eliminate a cloud platform (or build your own).
I think that's just a stereotype, and people in Japan would also find it very strange.
Thanks for this information! I have a few questions though:

> It doesn't robustly match entries to returns

Do you mean it fails to match the call/return (annoying), or that it may mismatch them? (pretty bad...)

> It doesn't handle containerization sensibly at all.

Do you mean it's just oblivious to namespaces (but works as far as I know) or something actually not working?

It's easy. The first bit:

"no one really knows what people would exactly do with the ability to modify their software."

I think we do. Excel, and the various systems implemented on top of it. To my understanding systems built on top of Excel are used to run all sorts of things, even live hardware, because it's so approachable and easy to modify.

Perhaps Eve can be 'sold' to the industries that rely on Excel. First the project can just add @excel database....
People not voting are as important in this equation as those who voted. At least in the instance of the Trump situation.
True that, I've been writing [libaudit-go](https://github.com/mozilla/libaudit-go/) which aims to provide a replacement of the c version of auditd libraries and is in constant development.

I don't think anybody even casually familiar with British media would argue that "left-leaning market forces are stronger" or that the British media is anything other than rabidly hostile (both on the Brexit right and anti-"neoliberalism" left) to globalism.
Is Syscall tracing == perf trace? Ive been doing the same sort of thing with perf. I hadn't heard of the auditing tools.
Glibc falls back to quicksort from merge sort (its default algorithm) when there's to little free memory available to accommodate merge sort's O(n) requirement. Quicksort only uses O(log n) additional memory, making it a good option in that sense. O(1) would of course be better, but even for huge inputs that logarithm makes the memory consumption a non-issue in most cases. Heapsort does give you O(1) memory, but also comes with poorer cache locality and overall performance than quicksort, making it a not so compelling option.
Take that silicon valley ;)

In all seriousness, this is very interesting and sounds kinda similar to glaciers.
"I define". There's your problem right there. "Exactly represents" is your other problem.

Your description paints a picture of high entropy (and wonders how that could be the basis for computational consciousness), but once you have defined an exact representation, you no longer have any entropy in your system. You just have a circuit operating or, if it's truly alive, a metabolism at work.
You don't think maybe the elections really were rigged?

Here's a video where a computer programmer who worked on voting systems is questioned under oath, and he makes some pretty good arguments that elections are rigged. At least the ones where electronic voting machines are used.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcxGGnmRQAs&t=92s

I'll admit, I didn't bother researching, but I'd understood a lot of electronic voting machines were used in the election we just underwent.

The results of the election only slightly surprised me, but I've gone to great lengths to avoid ingesting media from mainstream sources. Outside the mainstream, Trump's popularity was quite a bit more obvious.
