Yikes, no... we have much better ways than that.

Typically bootstrapping a list of a few thousand nodes with top uptime is a good starting point, then using peer exchange between the nodes to find more, store them and prefer them when possible. Bittorrent DHT could also be (ab)used as a discovery mechanism.

>My favorite effect of this social difference between [most of?] EU versus [most of?] US is that in non-england Europe, paying for private schooling means you're dumb and can't earn good grades without paying for them. In the US few non-private universities are considered truly legit.

Ditto in Israel. Small "academic colleges" are second-tier public institutions. Privately-owned colleges are for people who really can't do well on matriculation exams. The best universities are the six big state-owned ones.
Not only that, but going with more cores hurts in a variety of ways. It's harder to get a wider chip clocked up as far, so single-thread performance tends to suffer. It's hard to manage clocks and scheduling appropriately especially when you have non-uniform processors, like different turbo capability (max multiplier) between cores or even worse big.LITTLE type architectures. It's very easy to end up ping-ponging between high power/low power modes, and battery life suffers.

If it were physically possible, it would have been strongly preferable to have just kept increasing clocks instead of going wider. That was a decision made out of necessity, not choice.

You see big gains from being able to multitask a little, past that it's really diminishing. All things being equal, a 2C2T or 2C4T at 6+ GHz would be strongly preferable to 4C4T or 4C8T at 4-4.5 GHz for most desktop use. The gains aren't that steep in the real world, of course. The reality is that it's more like a choice between 2C2T at 4.7 GHz (G3258, being a bit gracious here), 4C8T at 4.4 GHz (6700K) or 6C12T at 4.1 GHz (5820K). You can push all of those numbers up a little bit farther by pushing the voltage, but that's roughly the shape of things at stock-ish voltages.

I diverge from the common wisdom here, given those numbers I think the 50% increase in real cores from jumping to 6C12T justifies a 10% loss in single-thread performance for many users, especially given that they're essentially the same price. In the threaded tasks where Hyperthreading provides gains, the extra cores will really push you ahead. If you're just gaming or browsing, a 4C4T is really all you'll ever need (and realistically many people will be fine with a 2C4T or 2C2T anyway). So the 4C8T are really an awkward in-between to me, I really think it's mostly that people don't realize that the 6700K isn't "top of the line" and there's a whole other enthusiast socket out there.

The server market's a little different of course, you can go much wider, but good single-thread performance still beats parallelism in response times. Really wide architectures like Qualcomm's 24-wide ARM server chips still have yet to really prove themselves except in throughput-oriented/latency-insensitive applications (which are the easy gimmie for slow-and-wide designs).
It comes from using Kickstarter primarily as a marketing platform and as a funding source secondary. These campaigns are created with an insignificant "funded" threshold knowing very well that they'll be funded a few hours into the campaign. See for example the Reaper Bones [1] annual campaigns that set a very low bar, expecting very well to hit a million from the get go. It's a great way to get many eyeballs on your project and make a few bucks as well.

But capital is dynamic and ever-changing. Also, a huge amount of it, quite possibly a majority in how you measure it, is in human skills and knowledge.

Capital is not a pool of objects that, once made, forever provide a return. All machines wear out or are obsoleted, buildings require maintenance or become badly located, people change throughout their lives, products and preferences change, making old capital lose value and new capital emerge. Making a "common trust" of capital changes none of this, and it cannot be comprehensibly divided into shares.

And the personal-property/capital distinction is flawed. Is a car personal property? Does it matter if I use it to commute to work, or to deliver pizzas? There's essentially no comprehensible criteria to distinguish personal property from capital property.

And I really don't see how "placing all ownership of capital in a common trust" is not gigantism. It's the most total gigantism, the ultimate monopoly. Whosoever operates that trust really is the king of all.
Actually I do think that GCE offers cheaper instances, but the 50% overall price reduction claim is unsubstantiated. The author compared completely different instance types. Monthly discounts does make GCE cheaper but for many instance types without that discount it's actually more expensive on GCE.
I find wrong that most frameworks do not include any component library. Even if there is a vibrant community, you end up with 30 dependencies which do not play well together.

I'm the author of a commercial framework for BIG applications [1]. Once you put everything on the table you can see which features should go into the framework and you end up with things like localization, date/number formatting, form validation, keyboard navigation, layouts, tooltips, routing, modals, etc. Once you have all that, you can build a coherent widget/charting library on top of it.

My personal reason for commenting out code for a few revisions, instead of deleting right away, is to keep a reminder of the work in progress. When I'm satisfied that the old code's really done for, I delete it and leave it to the history.

Until then, it's easier to review the commented-out bits than to go back through version history. (And plenty easy to delete it when it's ready to be deleted!)

Couldn't Matrix clients adopt this as well, if only as an opt-in feature? Perhaps some clients could even use it by default, and then if such a client talks to a different client that has the feature opt-in, it would be automatically enabled for the opt-in client, too.

I imagine this would work better for Matrix due to its federated nature than it would for Signal.

The sub-2 seconds latency doesn't seem that bad, if it actually offers strong anonymity at that level. I would've thought it would be more like 15-20 seconds, which would probably be useless for all but the actively under attack targets.

That latency though..
Raise the price by the actual cost of keeping the resources suspended for a week multiplied by the estimated probability of it happening. If that week passes with no additional payment then delete everything. The additional cost doesn't have to be applied to unlimited liability accounts. What's so difficult about that? There's not much worse customer experience than massive unexpected debt. Outages and data loss are minor problems compared to potential starvation and homelessness.
Actually, ractivejs as it is right now is pretty mature, so I will still use it. The ecosystem and momentum behind it could suffer from a _shift in focus_ from /u/rich_harris- the creator of both libs- but the library has flown under the radar all this time so I feel it might not be a huge change.

Incandescent bulbs are not nearly as efficient as other sources of heat.

India is building nuclear power too. But it is not as fast or inexpensive as you might guess.

India's most recently grid connected reactor, Kudankulam-2, took 14 years to complete: https://www.iaea.org/PRIS/CountryStatistics/ReactorDetails.a...

Expected costs for the next 2 units at the same site are $5.91 billion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudankulam_Nuclear_Power_Plant

That's $3.58 per real annualized watt assuming 90% capacity factor. If this new solar farm operates at 27% capacity factor (like Topaz did in 2015) that will be $3.88 per real annualized watt. So nuclear is still cheaper than solar in India in terms of construction costs. That might be offset by higher O&M costs; in the US at least, PV O&M costs come to $25/kilowatt/year while nuclear is $198/kilowatt/year: http://www.power-technology.com/features/featurepower-plant-...

Again adjusting for capacity factor (PV 27%, nuclear 90%), that means spending about $220/kilowatt/year on nuclear O&M and $93/kilowatt/year on PV O&M. I wouldn't expect the absolute numbers to be the same in India but the ratios may still be similar.

I'd say that the instantaneous generation costs for solar and nuclear projects that start generating in India now or next year are going to be pretty close. In the future, nuclear still has the advantage of working around the clock. But if the next 14 years see even a modest fraction of the solar cost reductions of the past 14 years, the next Kudankulam unit to come online will be far more expensive per annualized watt than a solar farm completed at the same time. 10 years ago it was a lot easier to figure out the lowest cost mix; nuclear power was cheaper than utility scale solar always and everywhere. It will be an interesting balancing act, in India and elsewhere, to determine just how much cheap-but-intermittent power you can use instead of expensive-but-steady power.

EDIT: I might have overestimated how well nuclear power performs in India. I assumed 90% capacity factor but it looks like all but one of India's nuclear reactors have a cumulative capacity factor below 80%. Kudankulam-1 was at 40% last year: https://www.iaea.org/PRIS/CountryStatistics/ReactorDetails.a...

WTF.

If future Indian reactors continue to operate at dreadful capacity factors like this, a new utility scale PV plant is already cheaper per real annualized watt.
This is going to be a hard blow for DigitalOcean.

While the laws may be awful in California and you should always seek to make reasonable and prudent financial decisions... if you have a spouse in mind and this is still weighing on you then you're probably not ready to get married.

Also if you have a ton of money go talk to a financial adviser or do some more research, there's many ways to protect your finances from a number of scenarios that don't involve skirting the law. You'd likely have to disclose offshore accounts in the scenario you're imagining so you'd either have to lie -- which is illegal -- or it would all be wasted effort.
> In 1999, the Florida attorney general sued to shut down Credit Key Express, saying that it misled customers into thinking they would receive preapproved credit cards. (In fact, all they got for their money was a list of banks that might give them credit cards.) Some years after Credit Key Express shut down, the Florida attorney general came after Xacti’s club businesses, claiming that Oesterlund’s companies had again misled customers. According to court filings, they had abused what are known as “negative options”: Customers would provide their credit card number for a “trial offer,” only to be charged a monthly fee, disclosed in the fine print and difficult to cancel.

> Oesterlund had begun exploring how to structure his business to insulate himself not just from taxes but also from future civil litigation. “I want to have in writing a statement,” he wrote to his lawyers in 2011, “that I can no longer be subject to Florida or U.S. law.” Take every step necessary, he added, to “remove myself from the country of Evil.”

> “Women get 10 percent in Russia by law,” Oesterlund wrote back. “In Dubai they get 0 percent.”

> Oesterlund had stopped making mortgage payments on the house in Boca Raton, she later said in court filings, and threatened to evict her mother and disabled aunt from a house they had bought in Wales. He warned Pursglove that he wouldn’t pay any bills until she agreed to a settlement.

I think your using the figures here in a non-standard way.

The 18,000 cases were reported over a 16 year period (1987 - 2003).

You should annualise these data so we can talk of cases per year, otherwise you can just expand the reporting period to further suit your narrative.

>Couldn't you say the same thing about Google, or Microsoft? I think the point of 'success' is that your big wins outweigh your failures as determined by your revenue. Is it not?

Of course it is. And by that definition, Amazon isn't successful, and nowhere in the same league as Google or Amazon. Not yet, at least. They've managed to break even more or less, but it is still yet to be determined if they can become the wildly profitable company that their stock price suggests they can become. My opinion after working there is that AWS is to Alibaba as Amazon is to Yahoo.

A poor excuse. To label the two things the same implies they are equal, but they are not. Your statement implies the left should be holding back to stop the right from countering.

Imagine if we had not abolished slavery simply because it could (and did) cause some people to become more racist.

Arguing that the left should simply let some people have their rights denied, because the right will throw a hissy fit is unconscionable.

The right labelling the left's attempts to give everyone equal rights as 'identity politics' is the political equivalent of 'stop hitting yourself' as they grab your hand and force it into your face. They are the ones denying people their rights based on identity, fighting that is not wrong, whatever doublethink you want to apply.
OK. But proofs about mathematical objects are entirely distinct from testable hypotheses about the actual universe. So it seems odd to compare them. OTOH, there is much "theoretical physics" that's not much more grounded in reality than AdS models ;)

In intro to comp sci we had an open project using an irobot bot (roomba without vaccum) so my group of some of the more experienced students pieced together a robot dog using a laptop and xbox kinect on top. You could say commands and it would obey such as sit (moves back and stops), rollover (spins), bark (sound from speakers), etc. It would also track a primary user and if you said follow it would stay a certain distance near you and follow. This functionality was "easy" with the kinect sdk capabilities as it was just a matter of connecting events from kinect code to commands to send to the robot. If given more time we could have done stuff like hand movements or throwing motions with the kinect skeletal tracking and vectors.

I think recreational drug service companies would be a multi-billion dollar industry.

The wine industry supports sommeliers and winery tours and tastings. Some of its customers are alcoholics. Some are not alcoholics, but still drink wine to excess. And yet the wine industry is not considered a menace in the US and Europe.

Wine contains ethanol. Ethanol is a recreational drug for humans. It does have adverse health effects when consumed to excess, and does produce externality costs borne by people who do not drink it. It is about the same with tobacco.

It seems to me that the problems you mention are not entirely solved, but they are not completely new, either. Society adapts, eventually.

And drugs, if legal, will be both cheap and expensive. In the same way you can buy $2 bottles and $2000 bottles of wine that have the same ethanol %vol, you will likely be able to pay more or less for different brands of cannabis that have the same quantity of a specific chemical in them.
