The bigger E7 scratch the 200 W mark pretty hard and IBM already had POWER chips go beyond 200 W. However, cooling and power density are ... problematic. The same goes for accelerators. Supermicro will happily deliver you a 1U box with four pascals and two Xeon sockets, but there is no datacenter in the world were you can stuff 42 of those in a cabinet. [Which doesn't mean that these don't make sense]

However, high end systems don't lend themselves well to mass-deployment (i.e. scale out).

Stop the presses! My apologies, I thought we were talking about product companies actually making money, not "talented professionals getting paid their 'value'".

The original comment was about "branding", not marketing, as you appear to have misread.

And don't worry, I understand completely well how many talented professionals actually make money. You are illustrating the point nicely.

It's called Universal Systems Language. One of the founders of software engineering also was a pioneer in high-assurance toolkits. A NASA engineer's review showed the tool to have serious usability and performance issues. However, she and her team should get credit for solving the hard problems with a tool that at least worked for some people. It's also written in itself.

"Nobody likes paying for anything they are used to getting for free, and freeway tolls are no exception. But why are we willing to pay for electricity, gasoline or air travel, but not for roads?"

- The author has a false assumption here that roads are free, there are various forms of taxes you are paying to Gov (City, State, Fed) in forms of gasoline tax, DMV registration tax, federal income tax where your dollars are supposed to maintain and develop infrastructure. It's just that Gov is doing a horrendous job managing it. Paying in the form of tolls is a really bad idea specially stupid if you think you are not paying for using roads (freeways etc) at the moment.
I think you are confusing my hypothetical question with me somehow condoning mass surveillance, disagreeing that it is currently happening, or disagreeing that it wouldn't happen in a hypothetical future?

I have no doubt that these tools are used against domestic targets, perhaps not from the CIA but certainly by agencies like the FBI - I work in aviation and routinely see mystery flights. Everyone in the office can guess what they are (http://imgur.com/a/17hSR - 6 hours of circling - Maybe they had a warrant, who knows.

My point was that even if we could somehow stop domestic mass surveillance, I'm not sure it we would stop using them internationally or even have any obligation to do so?
We all agree the tech interviews are broken. I suspect that the next trend in tech interviews will be worse in just a slightly different way.

We got rid of the "Why are manholes round?" questions, now we have live coding tests.
You don't just have to worry about the people you are attacking. Their allies can also reverse-engineer the tech. Pakistan and China come to mind. Pakistan has given China a lot of tech that it's recovered.
Yeah I really think a breakdown of both things matter and the conflation of the two can often make you feel bad at both. Good luck - I really think it's one of the most important skills you can learn.

I have sat next to plenty of people who "smell bad or play loud music or act out in inappropriate ways" in London or NYC. The differentiating factor (for me at least) is that those cities provide a legitimate service level with public transit that can get me to almost any place in their city in a reasonable time frame. That allows more "regular" people to forgo cars completely in favor of public transit. In LA it is much more difficult to live without a car and rely totally on public transit. Therefore many have already invested in a car. This makes the choice between using that car over public transit for any individual trip much more slanted in favor of using your car.

To get you started, I'd like to compare my problems regarding `if <Constant> = <Variable>` with yours. This assumes you aren't the kind of lunatic to actually assign a constant inside of an if's condition.

1. I can't articulate exactly why, but that should totally be flipped. The constant should be on the right side! `if(3.17 == possiblyPi)` would make me seriously question the author's motives.

2. It's personal preference, but in almost every situation I'd prefer to use a switch over an enum than lots of constants.

Have you seen the central line at rush hour in London? It's horrendous[1]. We are talking >7people per sqm, plus significant waits to even get on the trains. But yet, 100k+s use it every day of all socioeconomic backgrounds. I'd imagine mostly middle class/upper middle class professionals.

Why?

1) Traffic is terrible. It will take 1hr+ to do a journey the central line does in 15-20m.

2) Even if you want to drive, parking costs around $1500/month in the square mile.

3) On top of that, you have the congestion charge for entering central London (£11.50/day - soon to be £25/day if you have a particularly polluting vehicle).

You're looking at about $2000/month if you want to drive, which takes 4x as long and costs about 15x more than the train.

This is what happens when you price effectively for the externalities of traffic congestion. People will switch to transit en masse, and 'loud music' will not be seen as a problem.

[1]this also means there is the political will to build massive transit infrastructure, like crossrail, which will relieve the central line at a cost of around $20bn.
Oh, it's probably because we ask for webrtc mic-access when you record. Will look into it :)
What's the state of the art urban planning in terms of actually giving people less reason to drive/travel? It seems you need more zoning pods in suburbs where mini city centers (with jobs) can pop up, giving people less reason for long commutes.

I think its more about making the same research available to everyone, or other things that are relatively free to distribute (like code, even though, as hinted, it does not mean that everything will be open-sourced as its written).

Although, you do make a good point. If only the most powerful companies can afford meaningful machine time, how democratized can AI be?
I've had a project on the back-burner for a while which tried to embrace this notion that most of your day-to-day transactions are outside the scope of optimization. Instead of importing all the transactions into view, it only showed transactions in categories where you were trying to change (or measure) spending behavior. If, for example, I don't intend to change my home water consumption... then in the context of personal finances I really want that left out of my tool.
Buses are the worst form of public transport due to low capacity, low efficiency and large exposure to delays from individual transport (no personal car can hold up rail) with the resulting scheduling issues and low customer satisfaction.

Light rail blows buses away.

Yes, this why the class keyword is great. Also it fixes inheritance which is not easy to do with prototypes.

class A {}
> class A {}
class B extends A {}
> class B extends A {}
new B instanceof B
> true
new B instanceof A
> true

There is just 1 way to do this with classes, it is very concise, and it is impossible to do wrong, e.g., by forgetting to call the super class constructor. Try doing that with prototypes.
Are you positing that Trump or members of his administration have somehow released these CIA resources? Or just that WikiLeaks is bringing attention to these resources and their current "libre" status in the wild?
I'm convinced that the agencies involved with traffic problems don't understand shit about traffic, and this article is one example why.

They mention HOT lanes. I need to see exactly where, and what time of day they used to get their stats, because I can tell you, HOT lanes don't do shit if you allow carpoolers on for free. The idea of the carpool lane is a nice thought, but in reality it's a joke.

Any time there is actual "red" traffic (as you would see in Google maps), the carpool lane(s) are just as backed up as the rest of the traffic. The only time I've seen moving traffic alongside red traffic, is from a pure toll lane alongside a regular highway, like The 91 FasTrak lane. And even STILL, those lanes can be backed up during peak times.

Ask yourself, who uses carpool lanes? Carpoolers? Hardly. It's mostly families, who will be on the road anyway. Then you have work vehicles, who naturally have multiple people, and the ever annoying buses. My point is, the vast majority of those who use carpool lanes were going to be on the highway anyway. There aren't people saying to each other "hey, lets carpool so we can use the carpool lane and get places faster". Even if for some reason we decided to start doing this as a society, we would then realize it's bullshit because the carpool lane just doesn't work.

Here's an idea: 1) set up cameras or road strips at several places along problem highways 2) create a computer model using the traffic data 3) try out road configurations using this data until you find something that works really well. Or at least, use the traffic data to identify what's actually causing traffic problems.

My guess is most of the time it's the shockwave effect from bad or desperate drivers. It happens to all of us, even the experienced drivers, where we suddenly need to get off the highway and we have to cut off people, which inevitably results in a shockwave effect. Adding lanes isn't going to help this, in fact it will probably hurt this particular problem. And now think about this problem combined with carpools, where at least here in SoCal, don't let you get off when you want. So now you are in the carpool lane, unable to get off, and finally when your offramp is 1 mile away you are able to get off, what are you going to do? You have 3+ lanes of traffic to get over. Good luck and please drive nicely!

When I see these giant highway structures built for a single carpool lane [1], it really depresses me. How did we allow it to happen?

> I don't think they need to hack a vehicle to do it,

The CIA has multiple ways to cause a death. No doubt about that. They don't "need" to use any particular method, but if they want to kill someone, that have to choose at least one method.

>nor would they want to draw the unnecessary speculation and attention.

What unnecessary speculation and attention? Is LAPD going to bust out their JTAG debuggers, and compare the collection of firmwares in Hastings' car to a clean sample? Practically nobody believes that the CIA/US gov't killed Hastings by hacking his car. Given the propensity for most Americans to never even consider a thing once its been labeled as a conspiracy theory, I'd say that gives about as good a cover as the CIA (or whomever) would ever need. We already have people hypothesizing this as the manner of Hastings' death; but do we see any apparent effort to dispute/disprove it? No, simply chuckle and call it a conspiracy theory. It will go away on its own without regard to whether it was in fact a conspiracy.

>I would expect antics like that to be reserved for high-ranking foreign officials or other hard-to-reach people.

The spies have to perfect their craft somehow. Where is it written that a method of assassination must vary by the apparent importance of the proposed victim?
Do keep in mind that Trump received 63M votes out of a total population of 319M (~20%). Even if you consider the election a referendum on globalization (and there are many reasons besides nationalism that people may have voted for Trump, as well as reasons that an anti-globalist might have voted for Clinton), that's pretty far from a majority.

Similarly, Brexit received 17.4M votes out of a total UK population of 64M (~26%).

There are certainly a non-negligible number of people who believe in borders and nations and patriotism, and they can't and shouldn't be overlooked. But "majority" is stretching it.

As for how to spark a revolution in people's thinking: you make your case to the young & open-minded, explaining why it's a good idea, and then you wait for the old and stubborn to die off. Some people will never change their mind, and you can't force them to. Everyone dies eventually, though, and if something is actually a good idea then future generations will have a chance to remake the world in their image.

Oh god, this is giving me flashbacks. In college I phone screened twice with a certain Seattle megacorp and both times the interviewer was completely unintelligible. This was before the popularity of codepair so the interview was completely verbal. I specifically remember that during one interview it took at least 5 minutes for me to tease out that the interviewer was saying the word "millions". Not to mention I took the effort to find a quiet space and locate a headset while the best the interviewers could do was a speakerphone in a wind tunnel.

I agree that they could've done it, and they've done stuff like this in the past. The pros outweigh the cons. The reasons you've listed don't seem 'worth it' to me.

I hear you. I don't like method chaining either. Instead of

window.FindCanvasForObject(obj).Color(RED).MoveTo(10,30).LineTo(50,20). ...

I much prefer:

o = window.FindCanvasForObject(obj)
o.Color(RED);
o.MoveTo(10,30);
o.LineTo(50,20);

(Where, in C++ I would enclose this inside a { curly block } to give o the right type and make it local, and in Python I would add a "del o" at the end; and yes, I reuse 'o' to mean 'object' in these cases as much as possible, occasionally having "ox" and "oy" when I have x and y objects to deal with simultaneously).

I think it provides the fluency of method chaining with the readability of "standard" code, but this style seems to get scorn from both the chaining-loving people and the chaining-hating people. Oh well, different strokes etc.
The conclusion is not radical but quite banal. For some data, zstd (and lzma) lose to methods more suitable to that kind of data. For example, for text, use ppmd.

Using bzip2 is not a great idea because it's old, you can always beat it using newer methods. But bzip2 is widely installed, so that makes it somewhat useful.

The OP also shows zstd being very close to lzma for high compression ratio jobs. In my experience, for higher compression ratios lzma handily beats zstd (in the pareto-optimal sense of the word). But lzma is slow to decompress. If decompression speed matters a lot, zstd is awesome.

If you need to compress something like game assets (compression speed doesn't matter, compression ratio matters, decompression speed matters a lot) and can afford to use proprietary code then check out Oodle [1]. It beats zstd.

Yes--sorry. My comment was in support of your point.
Simplest way: $5/gallon gas.

When the costs for the road increase in that manner, there was a drastic drop in commuters and a big jump in mass transit.

It has happened in the past when gas was steep. Perhaps it is time again to help reduce congestion.

Right now, its not much more expensive to drive than to use light rail.
Presumably it's because people typically don't stand near water heaters, so there's less risk of injury in the event of an explosion.
F# (and ML in general, despite having been around for a while) looks like a programming language of the future. It occupies just the right place between the two extremes - one being purely functional languages (Haskell, Scheme, etc.) and the other being taken by all sorts of imperative languages (C, PL/1, Java, etc.), which - from a certain standpoint - could all be viewed as derivatives of the assembly language, and which, therefore, should have been long abandoned in favor of languages worthy of the name 'language' as the medium of human thought.

(Unfortunately, the two modern languages - Go and Rust, despite showing so much promise, appear, from this perspective, to be following the wrong path.)

Nothing negative that has come out of Uber has been faked. You have absolutely no evidence to say otherwise. And of course a video of the CEO of Uber berating one of his drivers was always going to see the light of day.

"The term "culture" is not compatible with the idea of assigning 100% responsibility to one person. In fact it's practically the antithesis."

Again, the buck stops there. EVERYTHING at Uber is Kalanick's responsibility. EVERYTHING. Otherwise he does not deserve the title of founder, and all the money that's come with it.
>The anti-vac crowd might not be idiots, but they're selfish as hell (free-riding on herd immunisation while not willing to accept the (very very tiny) risk of vaccination to their precious child).

You mean, selfish like everyone else is?

Is it even appropriate to use a broad attribution like "selfish" to a specific case of selfishness?

I know both pro and anti-vaccines. I can definitely assert that some of the anti-vacciners are less selfish than the pro-vacciners I know.

I'd like you to examine your need to make a statement like this. It's a wonderful path of discovery (I am not being facetious here).

You could have said that the anti-vaccine folks are reducing the herd immunization, and are benefiting from said herd immunizing without calling them selfish. Why the need to moralize? What was the purpose?

I would say building out a comprehensive subway/commuter rail network will make a much bigger difference. Being able to park your car at the nearest suburban station's parking garage and taking the train from there will make it so that cars/buses are only a "last mile" mode of transport.

Not to mention, trains are a way more space efficient way to move people, and aren't at the mercy of traffic jams caused by car accidents, construction, and bottlenecks. Granted, this hasn't completely solved the traffic problem in the NYC metro area, but without it, traffic would be a nightmare, and having the option to bypass it is great.

The fact that I can take a 15 min walk to my suburban town's train station, take it to Jamaica, Queens, transfer to the Airtrain and arrive at JFK airport without ever stepping foot in a car is something every city needs. Also, buses are notoriously unreliable schedule-wise, and people dont like having to wait in bad weather (not as much of a problem in LA) for it to arrive.

> Always start off by asking the candidate, "Is this still a good time?"

Is there a better way to ask this? It would be relatively awkward for the candidate to bring up on their own, so it seems like a good idea to make sure nothing unexpected has occurred since the call was planned.

> Alright, that's enough chit chat. Curtly prod them to submit to the interrogation.

Assuming it's still good to have the call, why would you not just jump in? The call can't last forever, and I'd rather have a solid ~40 minutes of technical content with time for questions than an opening of awkward forced small talk that, especially in the context of technical candidates, there's a good chance neither of us find pleasing.

Anecdotally, I've found that most good candidates will "small talk" about the technical subject matter that gets brought up during the call, if only to appear as a person familiar with it. (Although I do get a little lucky with security related things occurring pretty regularly in the news, so it's easy to reference.)
