Fenzo is a java library for deciding how to allocate tasks when offered resources. It makes implementing Mesos frameworks easier because it turns out the question: "Given an offer of X resources, and a list of tasks that need running, what is the best use of the offered resources?" is actually quite hard. (3D knapsack hard).

"Apache Mesos frameworks match and assign resources to pending tasks. Fenzo presents a plugin-based, Java library that facilitates scheduling resources to tasks by using a variety of possible scheduling objectives, such as bin packing, balancing across resource abstractions (such as AWS availability zones or data center racks), resource affinity, and task locality." [1]

Marathon is a Mesos framework for scheduling long running applications (like rest services) and keeping them running. If what you want to do is serve http traffic then Marathon does the job (although the stand-alone UI is now deprecated and will only bug-fixed for "the next few months", so you'd better like the full DC/OS offering).

Titus appears to combine the functionality of Marathon, plus the ability to run batch jobs. I wondered if Titus was a fork of Marathon with new bits, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I believe it deals with one glaring flaw in Mesos, which is that frameworks all independently calculate the best use of the offered resources. When compute becomes available, Mesos makes offers to frameworks, with some basic logic such as making offers to frameworks currently consuming the least. But that means that there is no way to customize the resource allocation across different use cases (e.g. between REST APIs, one-off tasks and Spark clusters). It'd be great if Fenzo did "sit on top of Marathon", so I could customize how it schedules based on the "bigger picture". Titus avoids the problem because it schedules everything.

Energy density is "good enough". Cities like New York banned helipads on the top of high-rises after the Panam crash in the 70's because of the risk of jet fuel flowing down a high-rise and igniting.

Electric powered vehicles like this would solve that issue and allow quick travel around high density cities, they could land on top of buildings to pick up passengers. Current battery technology should be enough to support these short range trips around a city.

A good example would be a corporate executive traveling from their NYC headquarters to the local airport to board their business jet. It's not a long distance trip but helicopters are not suitable.

That's true, and my paper mail envelope could be steamed open, read, and resealed as well. I'm not saying this would result in perfect security, and anyone would be foolish to treat it as good enough to direct their U-boat fleet. But it would be pretty good for routine email.

I seriously doubt this could account for a 5% drop in filings. Also, the primary reason that illegal immigrants file tax returns is to obtain refunds. Yet the total dollar amount of refunds disbursed actually increased this year despite the large drop in filings. If the drop in filings were immigration related, a similar drop in overall refunds would have been the likely result.

I don't see how. I don't see how this would result in better land utilization at all. You could have a big circle around the airport (like in the original circular runway idea), with a bunch of straight "stems" protruding in all directions, which can then be chosen based on prevailing winds. Then airplanes can land on these stems and then enter the circle after their speed has greatly dropped, so it's really like a big circular taxiway of sorts. And departing planes can accelerate in the circle some, then proceed onto the appropriate stem and increase to take-off speed and take off. This might actually increase throughput, I dunno. However the land usage would be atrocious, because you probably aren't going to have any productive use of all that land between the stems, and the overall area used when you account for the maximum extent of the stems is going to be enormous. The traditional layout of having a number of parallel runways really makes more sense as far as land-use efficiency.
It's very strange how people now seem to feel like they are entitled to see the tax returns of public or well-known figures. Tax returns are nobody else's business! Would you demand to see their medical records as well?

The implicit subtext (especially with highly successful people like Musk) is that we do this to "make sure they pay their fair share". Here's the reality: the top 1% of US tax filers pay nearly half of all US income taxes[1]. The bottom 80% of filers (by income) pay only 15% of all taxes. This myth that the rich don't pay taxes is completely, utterly false. It is a myth promulgated for political purposes.

It's not slavery when the debt is assumed with informed consent. We currently force people to pay taxes, and that is vastly less consensual than a student loan. If being compelled to pay a student loan that you chose to take on is slavery, what is being forced to pay a tax debt that you never agreed to assume? As for violent revolution, the history of education before the state got involved does not suggest that would be the outcome.

Many people are failing to appreciate the "tesla for the skies" model that is coming. Uber is actively pursuing the acquisition of companies like Lilium. Long term, roads aren't a great solution to increasing populations. The Ubers of the sky which land in your front yard or the top of your building and whisk you anywhere within 200-300 miles is coming... fast. And by making the eletric VTOL aircraft autonomous with waypoints, no one has to be a pilot. You simply hail a plane with your app, hop in, fly to your destination and depart. Many companies are testing full-size models like Lilium... for example, http://www.jobyaviation.com/. No one has carried a human passenger yet, and none with autonomous waypoint flying. But soon... within a year.
That's mostly what I'm getting at. They're called "jets" because the first ones used a turbojet engine, whose exhaust jet provided the thrust. The term is a colloquial contraction of the engine name, not a formal description of its operation.

Designers (of subsonic devices) rapidly moved to a more efficient turbofan design where the exhaust provides very little thrust and the engine core is used as merely a torque engine to turn a rather larger shrouded fan which actually produces the thrust.

So... if you pull out the internal combustion engine and replace it in a straightforward way with an electric motor that drives the same shaft, are you really changing the nature of the device?

Don't get me wrong, this is super cool technology. But imagine putting a 1500kg Tesla 100kWh battery into a much more efficient Cessna type design that is lighter and has larger wings. It would need to dish up about 80kw to maintain cruising speed, which is only about 180km/h. Factoring in the tiny wings and incredible weight, this thing would be hard pressed to stay airborne for a hour at 100km/h. I just hope is capable of gliding to a landing if the Battery dies or fails. Then it could be safer than a helicopter.

When you say "programming 101" you might not be talking about the MIT courses being discussed here.

6.001 was a course in functional programming, based on the book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs.

6.01 (the replacement course that uses Python) is a project-based course involving robots and stuff.

Neither of these courses depend on any specific knowledge, but they would be very difficult courses if you've never programmed before. (Most people coming into MIT course 6 have programmed before.)

The "you don't know how to program, here's how to program" course has taken various forms over the years. When I was there it was 1.00, a Java course for engineers. Later it was 6.00, an optional intro to Python, based on "How To Think Like A Computer Scientist".

To more specially answer your question, legally you don't have to show up to an audit. The audit is supposedly in your best interest, because it will stop the clock on racking up penalties and interest, assuming you pay them afterwards.

If you just keep ignoring it, eventually you will die and your estate won't be released to your heirs until the tax man gives it a final audit, and your estate will have to pay penalties and interest back to when you failed to pay.

If you're poor and/or broke, then sure, ignore an audit, because they can't get blood from a stone. :)

The delivery fee is a significant fraction of the total cost of a modern dryer in the US. Saving a little money by getting crappier dryers will likely have a larger total cost because of the delivery fees, and also the cost of your time in taking time off from work to accept delivery.
Sure as a percentage of total taxes paid, but they generally pay less as a percentage of their income or worth. Which is a better measure is certainly a reasonable discussion, but saying that one is unequivocally politically motivated while the other isnt, is odd.
This may be true in general, but the CLR uses bytecode and a JIT compiler, so that point may be a lot less relevant to it. In addition, devirtualization is apparently valuable enough that they're going to add it to the CLR, per the article.

FWIW the try!() macro has been replace with the ? operator.

Having spent extensive time with checked and unchecked exceptions I find Rust's error model to be very robust.

There's extensive tooling to handle and transform them, most of the pain comes from developer who are used to sweeping them under the rug(which totally makes sense in prototype land but when I'm shipping something I want guarantees).
I was using "deep" as in the artistic sense which is analogous to "abstract." You're right that imperative languages model the HW better, I just think there's something to be said for understanding programming from artistic side as well as the understanding the metal.
> Musk is African

Actually, since we're being technical about it, he's American-Canadian-African. How else to define it? One could say African born, certainly.

He has lived in the US longer than he lived in South Africa at this point. He hated South Africa according to his brother, and sought to flee as soon as he could. He considers himself an American and has stated so on numerous occasions.
I'd be surprised if their current prototype had a range of 300km. I think that's what they hope to achieve.
This is actually pretty close to how I personally define a "professional": A professional is someone whose work can only be judged by other professionals of the same domain.

Obvious failure modes are exempted. Anyone can tell you about a bad bridge after it has failed. But it would take a bridge engineer to tell you that before it fails.

The idea that startups should wait until after joining an accelerator to do their filings seems a bit mythical to me. Maybe it worked back in the day when founders applied with only an idea (or no idea), but now I'd expect most companies to be pretty well established before entering an accelerator. C corp, restricted stock with vesting schedules, the whole bit.

If you're already established with a public product, then you should just go get the trademark. It's not that expensive. If you're stealth, then you could wait, but only because of your stage of company, not anything to do with YC.
I think people care that the rich pay a smaller proportionate rate[1] than the poor. People who make under $19k a year pay twice the rate of those making $470k+

Comparing total of taxes paid and leaving it at that is generally a tactic to distract from the proportion problem.

44% tax rate is not too bad. Note that people with lots of money got their money by leveraging the system. A well run system is not cheap. The court system, the legal system, law enforcement, the education system, welfare, defense, etc all cost money. The higher percentage tax is only fair to pay back to the system that generates the big gain.
It would be impressive if it could reach 300km already, but the actual evidence we have is of it flying a small circle above the middle of a runway, implying a range of the order of 300m

and physics of course, that would suggest a 300km range to be exceptionally unlikely. But what use is physics in the face of such reckless marketing hype?
And I believe a boring company, hyperloop, other efforts in AI, etc.

A more substantive question is how that money would be spent by the relevant parties. I would argue that Musk would spend it better than the federal government and as such, he should have it.

FYI,

Password + token is a common pattern in systems where hardware/software/OTP tokens were bolted on after the fact.

Not just that, but on certain systems (think a Windows login screen, or a POP3/IMAP login for your e-mail client), you can't have a 3rd "token" field -- they're hardcoded to ask for just a username and password.

So vendors came up with the idea of appending the token value onto the password, and their middleware (say, a PAM module) splits the provided value into password and token and validates both.

EDIT: That's not to say that Schwab is doing it right (in the front-end, seriously???), but just pointing it it's not as uncommon as you think.
That's a nice achievement. The question is battery life. They've built a big drone. The cockpit is empty except for a GoPro.[1] How far can they go with a payload?

The video looks like a Kickstarter promotion. Too many neckbeards, not enough video of product working. A few minutes of uninterrupted flight video would be more impressive. They don't show the transition from vertical to horizontal flight, either.

There have been several battery-powered human carrying aircraft. Most are scaled-up quadcopters.[2] Here are five of them.[3] All have flown and none are shipping.

I didn't - what happened?
You dont afford it. You hail it like an uber. And its autonomous, so you dont need a pilots license. And because its picking up and dropping off dozens and dozens of 'rides' a day, the cost is shared by the user base. A short flight 2 hours away could be $100. Hell of a lot better than spending your time stuck in traffic. Also begins the process of easing congestion on highways.
can D be used as drop in replacement for c++ in something like metatrader

This seems way too good to be true. Seeing as the timeline on their mission page puts the first manned flight at some time in 2019 and their technology page states that the vehicle is built primarily with aluminum and carbon fiber, I'm guessing that this thing is incredibly light, maybe even under 500kg. The video seems to back this up with how easily the craft drifts side-to-side in the air with cross-breezes.

That low weight is an impressive feat of engineering, but it's also a big disadvantage for any real world applications because passenger and cargo weight is going to be a huge problem. You can't build passengers out of aluminum and carbon fiber. Even combustion-powered, light aircraft have serious problems with weight, and their pilots frequently have to work passenger weight into their fuel calculations.

My guess is that this technology will do wonders for aerial photography, scientific research and maybe even military reconnaissance, but transportation and any kind of serious shipping are still a very long way off.
Isn't this is case in point that you're wrong?

The problem here lies with the imprecise term 'African American', a designation which, according to customary usage, includes many native-born Americans who have never been to Africa, as well as excludes many native-born Africans (like Musk) who are also Americans.
