While there's no sign the emails published by WikiLeaks were doctored and it's concerning that the Clinton campaign made such a baseless claim, it's similarly concerning to me that WikiLeaks itself created/spread false interpretations of the emails they published.

Here's what happened:

* Conservative commentator Ben Domenech goes on Fox News Sunday show and quotes what he read on The Daily Beast: "We saw this week reporting that a pro-Clinton super PAC had paid more than a million dollars to have supporters of her online push back against Bernie supporters" (Transcript: https://t.co/7IuO1c7j7N)

* DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schulz had appeared on an separate, earlier segment of the same show. Likely because of that, a DNC staffer writes a bullet-point transcript of the panel debate and sends it around internally with the subject "FNS [date]", subheaders like "Panel" and comments like "I didn't catch everything [in this part]" – very easy to identify as a transcript: https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/8351

And yet WikiLeaks spun it on Twitter as if it were a smoking gun:

"DNC knew of Clinton 'paid troll factory' fighting Sanders supporters #FeelTheBern"
https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/757077620928512000

So they misrepresented a transcript where some random person quotes some other news source as a statement by the DNC itself, a statement of veracity or admission of internal knowledge. Got over 5000 retweets, never retracted/corrected.

After what they did in this election, WikiLeaks can no longer claim to be just a neutral platform for leaked secrets – just like everyone else, they spin facts to fit certain narratives they want to promote for whatever editorial reasons.
I don't know that I've ever properly followed the news. The closest I came was regularly reading Business Week as recently as ten or so years back. It was, then, approximately the same as reading the first 80% of each article in the economist. It didn't have that final segment where the writer acts so proud of him/herself for reaching obvious or silly conclusions, but it had the great information. Unfortunately Business Week started to grow increasingly lengthy, and the writing quality probably declined somewhat in the same time.
> they should take a hard look at their application and see if they can architect it in a way that does not require a complex distributed filesystem to present a single mount that they can expose over NFS

As someone who administers GitLab for my company, yes please.

Any high availability scenario that involves "just mount the same NFS volume on your standby" is a nonstarter for us. (We've found mounting NFS across different datacenters to be too unreliable and our failover scenarios include loss of a data center.)

It would also be wonderful to be able to run GitLab in any of the PaaSes that only have ephemeral disk, but that's a secondary concern.
Surely you don't expect cameras and drones to have massive, loud, heavy, power draining, $650 dollar graphics cards in them?

It seems if they are used in development the sales don't scale anywhere near directly with the number of units sold.

Maybe I'm missing something?
Not surprising. Register-based machines in general have higher performance than stack-based machines, because the register set can be addressed randomly like RAM whereas in a 'strict' stack machine this isn't possible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_machine#Performance_disa...

Of course the advantages such as easy code generation and high code density make stack machines a good intermediate compilation target, which then gets compiled to a register machine for actual execution.

In high school, I was an assistant manager at an Egghead in San Jose and got the employee discount on the id Anthology. It was pretty sweet. (Not to mention we borrowed nearly everything good in the store and re-shrinkwrapped it.) When the shop closed up in 1998, we were fireselling inventory to each other at "pick a number out of the ether" prices (Got Borland C/C++ 3.1 and a SCSI Zip Drive, the largest retail software package ever, for a song.)

This just seems like ill-advised monday morning quarterbacking. The left is outraged that Trump won because they genuinely believe it would never happen. So instead of looking forward, defining issues, and pursuing the next 270+ electoral votes; they call everyone who supported Trump a racist, and call for silencing of minority opinion.
It's unfortunately to late in the night for me to discuss this now but I would really have liked to. I never really understood the arguments for unrestricted free trade and against [some] protectionism in realistic scenarios.

Just because you have the /power/ to block their ads has nothing to do with the morality.

More intersting though::: Don't you think it is in your interest for these publishers to survive? It sometimes seems as if people are spending hours and hours reading these publications but have nothing but scorn for them, cheering their demise.
To be fair - the reason Angular 2 moved away from that is largely due to the influence of React

That's not a bad thing of course.
I should imagine implementing a register-based VM on a register-based CPU is going to have some advantages over a stack-based VM implemented on a register-based CPU. I wonder how well a register-based VM would fair on a stack-based CPU.
> the backlash of "unnatural chemicals" which sceptics (sic.) believe must obviously be bad for you.

You mean like the fact that they inhibit beneficial intestinal flora [1], or that numerous studies have found that people have a higher risk for diabetes if they drink diet soda [2], or that people gain weight when they switch to diet sofa from regular [3]?

Yeah, those wacky skeptics - they'll believe anything...

Same happens with Chrome, when I side-load my own chrome extension. It's really annoying.

I assume they just copied this behavior.
The people who are demoing this are so enamoured with their technology that they have lost touch with reality.

They casually mention the model does not feel pain and so uses its head as a leg. It's so smart! But they don't realize the end result is an insult to those who are struggling because of disability. All they see is cool technology.

I think the demo shows great promise, either for a grotesque human form in a zombie scenario or some animal or mechanical creature. Considering the type of stories mr. Miyazaki is know for the horror scenario was a poor choice. If the technology isn't ready for something better they shouldn't have presented it to him.

nailed it. spot on.
Radio is definitely one of the best sources and unsung heroes of news in the UK. I feel BBC Radio 4 does this especially well, in that it provides coverage in a few different formats. The hourly bulletins allow you to stay informed without investing a lot of time, the longer news summaries cover a broad range of news, and the current affairs programmes (such as Today and PM) dig deep into the nitty-gritty of the issues.

Elsewhere on the BBC Radio network, Radio 5 live does a good job with its rolling news coverage, the BBC World Service has fantastic features (I enjoy their technology programmes Click and Tech Tent), and the local radio stations are sometimes the only place you'll find decent coverage of local news.

As you point out, the BBC does dominate, although I have a fondness for LBC and talkRADIO, too.
sorbitol is a laxative, pretty sure taking a laxative every single day is not great for you
> junk food is engineered

It's worth mentioning that there's a science behind this, called food reward. Stephen Guyenet is a (white-hat) researcher in this area with a fairly interesting blog. A recent post of his[1] is probably one of the better capsule introductions to the topic. He also has a book on the subject, intended for a general audience, in the works.

A caveat: his blog posts vary between widely accessible and commentaries on specific research results that can be hard, frustrating even, to interpret without a lot of additional context. Go easy with what you take in here until you've got enough background.

I've seen jars of honey-and-mustard and chocolate-chip hummus in the grocery store in the US. Needless to say, this is not how people eat hummus anywhere else in the world.
They provide the business model for the text between the ads. That must be of some value at least.

The latency is almost certainly immaterial, 0.3uSec v. 2uSec. That's MICROseconds not MILLIseconds. Power draw used to be an issue, but not anymore.

Consider the power pull from copper v fiber listed here [2]. The Arista 7050TX 128 port pulls 507W while the 7056SX 128 port pulls 235W. Yes, copper is more but we're talking half a kW for 2 TOR switches. And for this you get much cheaper cabling, as the SFP+ are much more expensive (go AOC if you do go fiber, BTW) and you have to worry about clean fiber, etc.

Where fiber is REALLY nice is with the density, although the 28AWG [3] almost makes that moot.

There's few DC builds that can't do end-to-end copper any more, at least for the initial 50 racks.

obj is pretty inefficient, so depending on how it's stored in JSON I'd guess there's probably not much difference in terms of performance or size. At least now when accessing the model from Javascript in a browser.
But it is likely she was getting the pills from Mexican cartels using ingredients from labs in China where production of fentanyl’s ingredients is legal.

If ingredients for fentanyl originates from China, are the chinese abusing it like we do here?
If you're doing this right, the management network will not actually be accessible via the normal operating system. Most IPMI controllers support sharing a normal nic and management (meaning both the IPMI controller and host OS can access it), but I wouldn't recommend doing this.
Exactly.

Wikileaks has continually misrepresented, lied, and obfuscated the truth. Not just on this issue.

They repeatedly put innocent people in danger and generally favor a very obvious set of political stances (and one of those is being incredibly obviously slanted towards Russia).

Now you can speculate over why they do it, but THAT they do it remains a matter of fact.
I think the calculus with McDonalds and airports is that CNN is the most bland, wide-appeal channel always playing that's available.
Glenn Greenwald's opinion on anything matters exactly as much as Wikileaks these days.
The tutorials/instructions I've see never address the reasons for the authors' decisions, and any alternative packages or approaches that might be considered by the reader. Informing should also be a goal rather than simply providing a recipe.

The reasons for these decisions would go a long way to addressing the concerns bitdeveloper has, too.
Something you should do to understand the actual power consumption of a server (ac power, in watts , at its input):

Build one node with the hardware configuration you intend to use. Same CPU, ram, storage.

Put it on a watt meter accurate to 1W.

Install Debian amd64 on it in a basic config and run 256 threads of the 'cpuburn' package while simultaneously running iozone disk bench and memory benchmarks.

This will give the figure of the absolute maximum load of the server, in watts, when it is running at 100% load on all cores, memory IO, and disk IO.

Watts = heat, since all electricity consumed in a data center is either being used to do physical work like spinning a fan, or is going to end up in the air as heat. Laws of physics. As whatever data center you're using will be responsible for cooling, this is not exactly your problem, but you should be aware of it if you're going to try to do something like 12 kilowatts density per rack.

Then multiply wattage of your prototype unit by number of servers. This will tell you how many fully loaded systems will fit in one 208v 30a circuit on the AC side.

Also, use the system bios option for power recovery to stagger bootup times by 10 seconds each per server, so that in the event of a total power loss and an entire rack of servers does not attempt to power up simultaneously.
The effects are cumulative, not instant. They only really become obvious in actuarial studies.

Medical cause and effect is a slippery thing. You can't argue from individual experiences because some people are lucky, or they live in a healthier environment or have a healthier lifestyle, or they're less susceptible to certain conditions because of genetics.

Salt and sugar won't kill you instantly. What they actually do is increase the statistical occurrence of common medical conditions across entire populations, in ways that aren't usually obvious until later in life.

You may be lucky. Or you may have undiagnosed high blood pressure and something bad will happen tomorrow. There's no way to be sure. But if you have an interest in longevity, dietary discretion is a wise choice.
It's all just information. Some of it true, some of it not.

People who believe different things think that people with opposing beliefs are lies or delusion or lack enlightenment. I think it's better that everything is laid bare to the world so it's not hidden. But it requires a certain set of skills when consuming information.

I think Wikipedia is more like what you are wanting. It's curated, it attempts to convey accurate information without emotional language, etc. Of course, that's super difficult and it has it's own problem in trying to do that.
I quite enjoyed that book, it's one of my favourites, actually.

One part that caught me by surprise was Feynman's praise for the quick decision to use the atomic bomb. That stood out as something in apparent disagreement with the character of his which I learned of, and I didn't know what it was about that that he respected.
They want to make a conversion optimized "make-me-a-debtor" button for the internet. I'll say it again, *sleezy.

The dominant theme of Neil Gaiman's work is the redemptive value of stories, which always struck me as a convenient meme for a seller of stories to spread. Journalists write of the value of journalism with great gusto; I am similarly unimpressed. Facts and their dissemination are important; There are ways of doing this that do not involve employing a pharisaical class, most indoctrinated in the same few universities, and having theme write ideologically-poisoned clickbait for peanuts. Prediction markets and information bounties would likely be much better sensory organs than the press. This market is ripe for disruption, but disruption won't look like Buzzfeed, or Breitbart, or Vox. It will be some incentive structure that does journalists jobs far better, without journalists.
It is unfortunate that you are required to use the MS Store (sign-up required) to install Edge extensions. This is not a requirement of the base browser application itself. Chrome doesn't force you to sign-in to install extensions, why does Edge?
Indeed. I live in the country outside of a good sized (university-centered) city (Bloomington, IN). There are farms nearby, I have a huge empty field behind me, surrounded by a large amount of "woods", and my neighbor across the street has horses (yes, we do lots of cows and corns nearby too). However, I work pretty comfortably from home and the City just announced plans to build out a city-wide GigE fiber network (although I'm probably not included in the that, being outside the City limits, I already have GigE FTTH).
I feel compelled to speak up on behalf of Un Chien Andalou.

You know that scene, right at the very beginning, where an unseen person strops a razor before the famous slicing with it? Four strops are given four shots, alternating angle with side of the razor. The woman's eye is your own. This film with its technique will open up the metaphorical eye of your perception of it, suggesting unknown and even unknowable things.

Now, I won't argue that Dalí or Buñuel did or didn't achieve that. My knowledge of the subject is sparse in comparison to others'. But I would say that the opening scene (by itself) qualifies as one of the most sophisticated, novel and ambitious prologues/invocations humanity has generated. I'd further posit that that knowledge should raise one's priors for suspecting dense meaning in the rest of the work, knowing nothing else.

Edit/Afterword: I'd also argue that Lynch's absurdities and nonsense are not intended to frustrate the viewer, or if so it is only true inasmuch as frustration is a signal to loosen assumptions in terms of what you are watching--to parables and dreams have a deep logic to them, in that they use symbol and association to convey felt perceptions, understandings and beliefs.

I get that the complaint is that at some point people start replicating the form without being motivated by (what one perceives as) artistic genius. But that issue, of an initially straightforward and perspicuous intent generating works of great meaning which are in time stripped of their most attractive aesthetic attributes in culture's great scrapyard, is endogenous to this society of ours. It doesn't make those aesthetic qualities bad, and it certainly doesn't need to poison the value of their source (whether it does or not is up to the beholder). Yet it is understandably easy to grow jaded in a world where aesthetic competency is almost totally uncorrelated from rational/conceptual merit.

Who said that long sentences had anything to do with making people safer?

Everybody involved in establishing sentencing policies.

The criminal justice system doesn't exist solely to promote safety. That's an outcome, but the system is there to enforce laws.

Just a nitpick, the conviction is the enforcement of the law. Sentences are something else, as you later detail, but also something that many many people study. You can say that judges have too much leeway, but then we see overcorrections into things like mandatory minimums and three-strikes laws, which sweep up too many low-level offenders who step a little too far out of line and receive severe punishments, not to mention the very selection of offenses which are subject to these requirements. You never see white-collar crimes in these statutes, but a bad financial criminal can wreak greater havoc on a person or family's life than many of the crimes under the 3-strikes and MM laws.
Few will offer 40Gbps without charging a pretty penny, generally the jump will go from 10Gbps to 100Gbps but not until it becomes cost-effective (and not anytime soon).

That said, SoftLayer does provide 20Gbps access within a private rack and 20Gbps access to the public network.

I would have all these frequencies were in range, but when I search I find several sources suggesting that 600 and 900 Hz are indeed greater than the fundamental frequencies of human voices:

Baby cries have a fundamental frequency (hereafter referred to as Fo) of around 500 Hz (roughly corresponding to the note B4). Child speech ranges from 250-400 Hz (notes B3 to G4, adult females tend to speak at around 200 Hz on average (about G3), and adult males around 125 Hz (or, B2).

http://www.ncvs.org/ncvs/tutorials/voiceprod/tutorial/influe...

My guess at this point would be that while the "fundamental frequencies" are lower for vowels, higher frequencies are still required for the consonants?

This is an old brain-teaser... when it's stated precisely enough, that is. And it's one which every developer should be able to answer; but Eric Schmidt is not a developer, so his inability to answer it -- especially off-the-cuff, as opposed to working through it in an interview -- is irrelevant.

All told, I'm calling this one clickbait.

I think its a strange distinction from most west coast folks. I remember at school it was pretty common for people to have huge courseloads who would generally downplay their stress/effort. On the flip side, my friends from the east coast thought it was some kind of rite of passage to talk about how their heavy workloads and how hard they were working all the time. Similar for coworkers from France.

That is a good point, when I started sleeping with earplugs at my parents house where I don't have a fan or some noisemaker it made a huge difference to me. I found I would fall asleep much faster even when there was no actual obvious noises to keep me up. I've noticed when I'm falling asleep even minor noises can 'jolt' me (its the best description I can think of) and effectively reset my progress of falling asleep. Putting in earplugs can cut my time-to-sleep in half when I'm away from home.
Great course! I'm using it right now and it's some nice hands-on practice.

One nitpick: In video 14 about references vs copies, around 2:20, you say, "`team` is not the array, `team` is just a reference to the original array, which is `players`." It's a little ambiguous but to me it sounds like you're saying that the variable `players` is somehow special and different from the variable `team`, as if it's not just another reference to an underlying array. This seems like it could confuse newbies.
