The problem is that most people rarely want just raw data.

Given any particular topic, people typically want is to know what to do about something, or at least (it's lazier cousin) how to feel about it. Ideally, we would all individually start at raw data and end on drawing our own conclusions about how to feel about issues. The vast majority of us rely on some type of 'packaging' stage where raw facts get bundled in an easier to understand manner i.e. news orgs.

This is the mechanism that modern media has really thrown a wrench into. We've achieved a level where we can go from start to finish, turn that firehose of data directly into emotions without any need for thought. The old speed bumps: rational discourse, verification have not been able to scale in the same way.
I don't think, I anwser RFP about what customers are willing to use and pay for.

Regarding .NET, that is only for 100% Windows stacks, even if they run across VMs on Amazon or Azure instalations.

I am yet to see a single RFP asking for .NET deployments on GNU/Linux.
Causal statement in the headline. You might think only correlational statement on paper, and this is somewhat true but it is a controlled ecologicalish study.

no random assignment.

bad temporal proximity of data gathering on personality.

methodological poking about at the badness of controlled vs observational studies. basically study recruitment as a selection effect.
File systems are much harder than block storage due to the large amount of metadata and the consistency/durability requirements for metadata. So a lot of systems just build block storage and format ext4 on top or put NFS+ZFS on top (but that's not very distributed).
We're talking about US citizens here, whom they are required to allow to return to the US.
You also don't have to deliver mandatory anti-harassment training to both, purchase computers and software licenses for both, provide office space and supplies to both, etc. Plus every additional person you add increases internal communication costs as per the N(N-1)/2 formula.
Definitely. The tactics used to shame Trump supporters, evangelicals, and the like are the exact same as the ones used to shame and invalidate people of color, women's rights, etc. In the past.

It's disheartening, really.
>First is wealth accumulation. According to GAAP, land does not depreciate. It can go up or down in value due to market forces but it does not depreciate. When people have real, tangible wealth, they are less likely to be dependent upon the social safety net as they go through life. That benefits society. Homes can also be used as an instrument of generational wealth transfer.

First of all, there is a slight of hand here. I said housing and you just said land. Housing does depreciate. Especially shitty, pre-fab housing.

Secondly, land that isn't used for farming is not a productive asset. There is no societal benefit to encouraging people to sink their savings/investment into non-productive assets. If that savings wasn't being poured into housing, it would have been put into an index fund or other asset class that does more than generate paper-profits via speculation. Home-ownership only functions as an investment vehicle in a political environment that prioritizes raising real-estate costs. Functionally all this does is transfers wealth from people who earn incomes to people who own assets.

>Second, owners tend to take better care of properties than tenants. A community where most or all of the inhabitants own their residences is more desirable than one where everyone rents.

Not really. Once you control for length of residence it's mostly a wash. Long-term tenants aren't any worse than owners. In some cases they can be better because they're not the ones footing the bill for essential repair work. It comes out of their rent and is handled by a property manager who is legally liable for maintaining the property.

>You just want to be the one to decide who gets the benefit of that skewing.

This is literally the role of government. When governed well, society gets the benefit of that skewing by accounting for the externalities that aren't accounted for by the market forces. When governed badly you make problems worse.

I didn't say it was even remotely free, but it's at a scale compared to consumers that it's pretty damn close. 70 cents a minute is A LOT to pay to run these GPU's on Google's end. Which is the point of this discussion.
We agree to disagree.

I absolutely don't disagree with optimizing when it's obvious (two for loops instead of one, etc.) All I'm saying is that, when you have thousands of lines of code (millions?) and even more complicated/intricate connections in your head of different modules, all the while when trying to reach a deadline, things aren't as obvious. You have to make compromises, it's inevitable.

Amazon or Google did not scale up magically in one go by following established guidelines. I am very certain they had growing pains and I know that they had "hacks"[0] while figuring out the right solution for the problem at hand.

What if the liberals are right? It was proposed to me a couple of weeks ago (by a French guy who had spent a few years stateside) that there was a more simple reason for Trumps success.

To him a racist, bigoted, misogynist, misanthrope, with a complete lack of taste, wild delusions about his place in the world, a gaudy tower with his name on it, and the idea that (despite his wife being foreign) that immigrants are not dangerous was exactly what lots of Americans aspired to be. The American Dream of a quiet wife stuck at home making pie, while you are out in the woods with a 12 gauge in your pickup truck. Like the twitter comments last week on the video where some guy takes his belt off to whip a young child, and people are saying 'if more liberals had been beaten like that, then perhaps they wouldn't be so out of control'. Add to that the 'I don't believe in experts crowd', an almost Homer Simsonesque desire not to think too deeply.

Then there is the alt-right, particularly the channers. They seem to confuse their right to say repugnant things with some kind of right to be listened to. Yes on 4chan you can say the most appalling slurs to each other, but why should society listen?

Maybe the US elected a hateful president because there are a lot of repugnant people there?

Maybe the liberals are right to defend their patch from this creeping menace with zero tolerance? Maybe that is just society pushing out those that don't fit.

Personally I wonder if this is America becoming the next superpower to destroy itself. The inflated idea about its own importance may lead to it losing site of its place in the world by becoming more insular. Another empire consigned to history?
> a lot of the responses sound emotion driven, with the overwhelming emotion being the fear of change.

I got a different fear out of it. They are afraid that their current circumstances are going to be permanent. The majority of Trump voters have awful circumstances. Many regions within the USA are effectively third world. People don't have drinkable water. People don't have internet, or even phones. People don't have transportation. People live on oxy (an addictive opioid), because that's all they have.

Hillary promised them more of the same, and that terrified them.
You should really reevaluate whether you should use an entire 6 months to validate an idea. That's a lot of sunk time.
I would strongly argue that coprophagist is a very interesting word, and should be less obscure. But then again, that might just be my juvenile sense of humor.
It honestly sounds like the start of a line of questioning that is likely to shutdown opinions because of someone's characteristics rather than the opinion itself.

I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but it's a frequent tactic.

> No, it's not. Please stop with the weasel-worded equivalencies.

> Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation", although the group acknowledges that the inclusion of "the use of power" in its definition expands on the conventional understanding of the word.

I agree with the WHO here, and what Milo did definitely caused psychological harm from a position of power (being a chosen speaker in their school).
The evidence continues building for the case that colonial Europe rewrote world history to maximally justify conquest.
Great post. I remember when vDSOs were added we noticed a nice speedup in our code. We tuned for realtime and a few microseconds here and there add up. Most importantly, less systems calls means more predictability.
well, i would say for the average person (and nothing bad about being average), a college degree will make it a lot easier to get a job, and getting a job is a very good start in my opinion ..

even if you define success as being the owner of a business, starting in a job will help you learn a lot about doing business
pg fell for the just-so story. His ideas, while interesting, are not supported by the literature of the time. Whitewash is absurdly cheap, and it's typically based on lime, which is pretty much the first thing any developing society needs to obtain in large amounts.

That said, Facebook is just a tool. Blaming Facebook is just like blaming the media.

It's quite ironic, I have a degree in (Theoretical) Physics but it's is waaaay easier to find work on pure programming/Web projects and not something with numbers involved. And the latter is basically what I've been drilled for in my studies.

Maybe... but I'm not sure about that. If you want to make the argument that Azure has a good chance to make .NET relevant again, I might buy that, but in terms of developer mindshare it's still nowhere near something like Heroku.

> Yes, by realizing that he won because of his economics, not his social positions.

You're responding to a post by sama where he interviews people who voted for Trump, and his findings match what we already knew: this wasn't about economics. Why would it be when unemployment is below 5%? Just look at the answers people gave when asked "What do you like about Trump".
It's less overhead and better integrated into the system as a whole. After all a VM is still a separate entity in its own environment. WSL is jumping over the fence and runs Linux stuff in a Windows environment.

Think of it the other way. Why would you use wine if you could just run Windows in a VM? :)

>Plus I'm not convinced ads are the thing killing media. People are. Anyone is a journalist these days.

People become "journalists" because there's money in it, through ads. Ads pay the same whether your article is worth reading or terrible blogspam. Said people realize that, and go with the least effort/profit maximizing strategy which is buzzfeed level articles, partly because ad providers will pay anyways, and partly because deontology isn't a matter to themAds keep paying the same, and other people see "journalists" make money this way. It's a vicious cycle. Journalists from reputable sources are salaried, and usually don't have to resort to this tactic.

Facebook is one hundred percent to blame. By reaching so many users and being so prominent in all those users' lives, they are directly responsible if they choose to stuff trash quality articles, which directly influence opinions, in there because it's the more profitable option.

People are dumb, and faillible. It's incredibly easy to sway their opinion one way or the other. You are, I am, we all are easily influencable. All that's different is the amount of fact checking that's done after.
The Ancients were not that primitive. There is the Periplus Maris Erythraei, a manual for traders that describes the ports of the Indian Ocean, from Zanzibar to Sri Lanka. These are the ports that were regularly visited by merchantmen on trading voyages. More adventurous characters might want to cut out the middleman and sail further to China, whose existence is mentioned in the same text.

700 years prior Pharao Necho II outfitted an expedition to sail around the African continent, for no other reason than research.

Intolerance from our contemporary left and right are roughly equivalent. Moderates of both camps have more in common with each other than with the provocative fringe groups spouting this nonsense. The fact that they have strong voices at all only demonstrates the hyperpartisan state our government is in.

My point was simply to illustrate that "I'd feel more comfortable talking about my views in the Deep Red" is a statement only a White (probably) Male would say.
I guess I'm using the Wikipedia definition of censorship which diverges from yours somewhat. To quote, because it's short:

Censorship is the suppression of free speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.

I think suppression of public communication by a monopoly corporation like Facebook does count here. And to be clear, yes, I am arguing that the value of being able to have fake speech outweighs the damage it does. As soon as you begin on the mission to suppress "fake" speech, you have to elevate some person or institution to the role of deciding what is fake and what is real, and that's far too much power to give to anyone. That power must remain with the individual, as imperfect as we all may be.
I instituted a 90 day rule which was buying something started a clock that I had to use it within 90 days. It is a silly rule but it helped cut down on what I saw as a problem of buying things I conceptually liked the idea of using but for which time would not allow.

The result is having unopened specialized integrated circuits from a manufacturer that no longer exists :-(. The same thing with books, I had accumulated probably 20 or 30 books which I wanted to read but never seem to have the time. So now when I buy a book I set the timer for when it must be read or used and that has both saved me money and cut down on my stress.

The stress comes from looking at a book I own, and have owned for a while, but haven't read so I don't really know if it is worth keeping!

It may also be used as campaign propaganda. Everyone who votes against your bill may one day see a campaign ad saying, "Rep./Sen. Whatsname voted in favor of warrantless searches of your personal electronic files, when all you wanted was to come back home."

Such is undoubtedly why bills of this nature are smothered in committee by politicians who are so secure in their gerrymandered districts that they could bite the head off of a baby on live television the day before election day and still win the seat.
No. I've found the college degree can be important in getting your first job, and its importance decreases over time. When you get to about 10+ years of experience, it has minimal value.

So don't let the lack of degree stop you if you are pushing ahead with making a career of it.
> I am very happy with my current job

The best time to interview is when you're very happy with your current job.

Zero pressure, zero commitment and potentially huge upside in terms of pay and title increase.
My mom voted for Trump because of the abortion issue. The reason it's above all others in her mind is that she literally views it the way we view the holocaust. (e.g. "Millions of people have died because of pro-choice policies.")

So, whether or not you agree with her, you can see that there is some logic to making that issue a high priority if she views it that way. "Hitler's really got a great economic package, has better public experience than his opponent, is better all across the board, and is in favor of the extermination of a bunch of helpless people."

In my mom's case, she'd be Democrat, except for this one issue. She's pro Syrian refugee, pro immigration, against capital punishment, etc.

No.

Some people are self taught and self motivated, and they are often more capable than someone whose primary exposure to development (or technology beyond consumer use) was through a CS program. That is not to suggest that CS degrees are unnecessary, but once you understand the entirety of someones experience and knowledge you will often find their degree or lack thereof is entirely irrelevant.

Of course there are some employers who won't even acknowledge someones resume exists without a degree, which I have always found silly.

Ah, I see what you mean and I think I agree; "well-crafted teams of specialists" are, hypothetically, one of the advantages of attempting to tackle a problem as a startup company as opposed to pulling the resources together within a large corporation to skunkworks the problem (though in terms of eventual success or failure, I don't know where to place that advantage relative to, say, having the luck / foresight to choose a problem that the market needs to solve and doesn't have a good solution already in the pipeline somewhere [and will need to solve long enough for a startup to reach minimum viable product] and the startup's capacity to trade equity for a staff that will work their bloody asses off).

And Conservatives would say the same thing! 'Liberals are prioritizing where people use the bathrooms over the real problem of islamic terrorism . Prioritizing pet issues over national security is disgusting!' Insulting people over whatever issues they decide to find important does nothing but drive them away from the issue you think they should support instead. Empathy and understanding need to be developed -- its like Respect, it is earned. While we hope people have these traits, unfortunately they don't. Insulting will reduce empathy. 'Why should I care about X? They are all assholes anyways. Fuck em'. And this is what happened with the election.
