If you simply consider your world to be the other half of the country (that does care about correct news), then there is not much of a problem. If, however, you need to please shareholders, then, yes, you have a problem.
Apparently the presence of an apostrophe in the possessive "it's" is not an OCR or transcription mistake but actually the original spelling.

AMD has been really smart. Freesync is a huge success. It's outperforming Nvidia by about 20% on Vulkan and DX12 on similar hardware because game makers can use their optimized code from the AMD-equipped consoles. On Ryzen, it appears strategically to have reduced the silicon usage from AVX in order to improve mainstream performance and increase cache, while maintaining a smaller (and therefore cheaper) die than Intel's increasingly bloated silicon. It all points to a company, back to the wall, really fighting its corner, optimizing its much smaller resources. If Ryzen and Vega work out as expected, I hope the people responsible at AMD are in for big rewards. BTW the stock has ramped 200% in the past year.

To get an idea of how smart AMD people are, this video instructive:

Dude campaigned on implementing a Muslim ban, one of his associates explains that the EO was developed after Trump specifically asked for a legal way to do a Muslim ban, and Trump himself has referred to it in his tweets as a Muslim ban.

How much more do you personally feel you'd need to have before you'd be OK with someone using the term "Muslim ban" to refer to it?

I have worked in Financial sector for a long time and know that copying bank software illegally is criminal in US and probably civil in Australia.

I program for the bank via the consulting company and my code is on the internet. Plus my contract is frozen with fees until I withdraw my complaint to IT of my consulting company.

Consider specializing in making money and donating the money to people who specialize in $PICK_A_CAUSE_DEAR_TO_YOU, if your primary concern is about impact and not about personal fulfillment. NGOs are often not well set up to metabolize the labor of developers, and at some things which you think are helpful will be perceived by the organization as a threat (e.g. at many organizations, anything which decreases the required headcount to operate attacks a primary reason for the organization to exist).

You're also unlikely to be an expert at $PICK_A_CAUSE_WHICH_IS_DEAR_TO_YOU for the same reason you're unlikely to be an expert at heart surgery or filing business taxes. Those strike me as important enough to be done by someone who knows what they're doing; your mileage may vary with respect to causes dear to you.

Ask HN: How to do intensive mental work without long chunks of free time?
Those of you who work on side projects whenever you find a short bit of free time, how do you do it? How can you do deep/intensive mental work when you do not have long chunks of time available without distractions?

I recently started doing two things:

- clocking in and out of some small tasks in my org files

- run a small app that will make a sound every three minutes. It reminds me to or be working towards my goals or take a short break (3 to 6 minutes) from too much work (which aligns with my goals).
Probably going for the 144 FPS worst case (meaning frame times below 6.944ms at all times).

That's true if I look at the raw CPU benchmarks of ARM chips... there it is normal to have each year 40-60% jumps which is crazy.
The article clearly is showing that Linode has better hardware and general benchmarks, but the Apache benchmark falls short of the rest. Even though it has 512MB more RAM than DO and a slightly better CPU, DO server can do 5,023 requests a second, while Linode is doing 3,285. The time per request being 304ms on linode and 199ms on DO. That seems a lot more important.
Have you tried melatonin? I have tried a lot of things to help get to sleep at a specific time and melatonin isn't great for that. What I do find is that it causes me to sleep very deeply, often making it harder than usual to get up the next morning.

Since melatonin is a hormone, it's best to avoid taking it for too long or you can get adaptive / rebound effects (i.e., it stops working then you get withdrawal when you stop taking it, making things worse). It's recommended to take for a week or two, then stop and hope it's caused your circadian rhythm to reset (there is some evidence that it can do this). It's often recommended for jet lag and not so much for chronic sleep disorders, for this reason.

The adrenal system can become stressed to the point where inputs to the adrenal gland signals for less cortisol. Addison's Disease, which is diagnosable, results in less cortisol than the body needs, causing as one of many side-effects general fatigue. But "adrenal fatigue", where the adrenal gland "shrivels up" because it is working too hard, is mostly a myth.

Several other factors are in play, and the hormones in your body are controlled by several glands and linked in a complex system of signals. Rarely does only one thing contribute to symptoms.

"Is that actually the case? The attacker in the Breitscheidplatz truck attack in Berlin was Tunisian"

First - there are 1 million migrants in Germany for which the government made no checks whatsoever.

Second - nobody is going to argue that a governments assessment is going to be entirely valid.

But it's helpful.

The notion of 'not allowing people in unless there is a background check' is very rational from a policy perspective.

Anyhow - it's besides the point regarding the press: that the countries listed were those for whom there can be no background checks is most of the rationale. The press largely failed to report this. Specifically in Fareeds presentation of the facts. Ergo - not doing his job.

The press, more than ever, needs to hold themselves to the most objective standards they can.

This is just too hard of a problem to solve frivolously. Kudos to CoreOS for trying, and coming to the inevitable conclusion sooner rather than later.
I don't think this is it. The very concept of fake news is, fundamentally, propaganda.

The mainstream media's privileged position of controlling the narrative is under threat, both from within the media (e.g. Breitbart) and without (random guys on the internet creating narratives).

The idea of "fake news" is propaganda, created in order to push Facebook/Twitter/etc into shutting down the media and random guys that are threatening the mainstream media. It'll probably work too.

Incidentally, insofar as "fake news" is real, it is highly unlikely to have any major effect. ...for fake news to have changed the outcome of the election, a single

First: VPS vs. shared hosting doesn't mean (lack of) fixed resource allocation.

Ignoring overselling for a minute, VPS isolation is not perfect. Some resources, like physical disk and network cards are almost always shared. Others, like CPU, memory bandwidth, etc, while theoretically partitioned, still suffer from some amount of contention.

We need to keep in mind that the US
Constitution does not grant freedom of
religion to US aliens outside the US who
want to immigrate to the US. Instead the
US, and under US law the POTUS, e.g., see
section (f) of "8 U.S. Code § 1182 -
Inadmissible aliens" as at

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182

starting with:

> (f) Suspension of entry or imposition of
restrictions by President

> Whenever the President finds that the
entry of any aliens or of any class of
aliens into the United States would be
detrimental to the interests of the United
States, he may by proclamation, and for
such period as he shall deem necessary,
suspend the entry of all aliens or any
class of aliens as immigrants or
nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of
aliens any restrictions he may deem to be
appropriate ....

are permitted to deny entry to any alien
outside the US for essentially any reason
or no reason. In particular, a "Muslim
ban" would be perfectly legal. I repeat,
as is fully clear from the law,
"essentially any reason or no reason".
So, suppose there is a Muslim ban? So
what? Whatever the answer, such a ban
would be both constitutional and legal.

For more detail, is Trump against all
Muslims? Nope. Evidence: IIRC, at the
Republican convention, the last speaker
before Trump accepted the nomination was a
long time Trump friend and Muslim.

It is fair to conclude that Trump is
trying to keep terrorists out of the US.
Are all terrorists Muslims? Nope: Not in
the world and not even just in the US.
But: In recent decades, somehow too many
terrorists have been Muslims, from
"radical Islam". Europe has seen a lot of
that in Nice, Paris, etc. The US saw a
lot of that in 9/11, Orlando, and San
Bernardino.

A good summary of the threat of radical
Islam with recent data was from Newt
Gingrich at the Republican convention as
at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BV8vGzmsos

There is a nice introduction by Newt's
wife, but watch and listen to his actual
speech, especially his list of events from
radical Islam from "the last 37 days".

Or, to keep out radical Islam, a good
first step is to carefully vet all
Islamists. There's so far not much sense
in looking for radical Islamist terrorists
among Episcopalians, Methodists,
Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, or Jews.

How about a shield UNDER Chernobyl?

They recognised the issue right away. Firstly, the bubbler pool was emptied of water (there was fear that if the core reached the water, it would cause a steam explosion). They started using liquid nitrogen to freeze the ground beneath the reactor, then scrapped that idea and filled the bubbler pool with concrete instead.

They started digging a tunnel in May 1986 [1] (7 days after the accident), with a void below the reactor. They planned to fit a heat-exchanger into the void. It's not clear whether it was ever installed, but the consensus is that if it was installed, it was never used, and the core didn't reach the void [2].

> these $5 servers are VPS and the resources allocated are guaranteed so...how can neighbors affect the performance of your server

Yes, they're VPSs, but no, a VPS does not provide the level of isolation that you're imagining. RAM is easy to offer guarantees about, CPU can be (but you can often burst over your guaranteed allotment, which means there's often high variability in performance, even if you always get what you're technically paying for), and disk IO is very hard (and you'll notice cheap VPSes don't even try and promise you any specific amount of IOPS).

There's a million links discussing this, google "VPS noisy neighbor" or see, eg:

Yet, there are many instances where population growth or decline has become an issue due to economic drivers, alone.

You can't just assume people will distribute evenly into nice small groupings when they are granted freedom of movement and the right to pursue happiness.

Fixed it for me too, thanks. How did you debug the issue?
I'm surprised the article didn't mention time4vps[0].

For about $4.25 you get 2 cores, 2 GB ram, 80GB storage, 2TB transfer.

That's over twice the value of anything in this article.

Potential catch for people based in US: The servers are in Europe (lithuania), and network speed isn't as great as others I've tried.

But if you need something super cheap, I highly recommend it.

Their storage is also excellent value (about $3 per TB). Btw, does anyone know other cheap storage providers? Thanks.
