20% of what?

Most central banks have foreign reserves ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_foreign-e... ) and and central banks' gold reserves are typically less than 1% of their reserves. So gold backing any currency is just a small part of all gold in existence (about 170 000 000 kg ~ 7T USD)

For "all currency", the money supply is a lot (converted to USD): US M0 is 10T, UK 2.85T USD, Eurozone ~8T, Australia ~1.8T. And China, Japan, India and so on also has big monetary bases.

>behindthesofa is only reachable over modern protocols, so insecure HTTP and IPv4 are not supported.

Not supporting HTTP seems ok, but what's the reason for not supporting IPv4?

My ISP, switch, and OS all support IPv6 but I wasn't able to configure it so even though I want to use IPv6, I wasn't able to ever get it to work.

That's now 2 things I can't use; loopsofzen.co.uk and behindthesofa. I really hope this doesn't get more common else I'll essentially get locked out of the Internet.

I guess I can always use Google and Facebook.

I think in a few years you could have a mobile phone transformed into a notebook, like the Microsoft Surface but smaller. In this context Windows phones can get some traction again.

Indeed I think it is possible right now but nobody is offering a good transformation. There is a company that is promising this but until today never launched the product.

All the terms we have suck for a different reason:

* free - b/c freemium or worthless

* open source - a term big companies who don't care about it like to use to project a positive image of themselves

* libre - imo the best term atm. However, it just doesn't sound alluring.

Idk, how about Freedomware ? ;)
So Microsoft went to all that trouble to make Windows look like a phone screen, forcing an inappropriate AI onto laptops and desktops, then blew it in the phone business.

Database constraints are intended for use in distributed systems problems (e.g. two people create accounts with the same email, buy the last item in the store, etc).

Whether you enforce password complexity in the database is a question of where your team is more comfortable working, and what the business requirements are.

I don't like Oracle DB really, but there's one feature that does stand apart from Postgres. Oracle has an internal scheduler that works much like an OS scheduler, allowing you to set priority and resource usage for each user or connection. This made Oracle the go-to database for anyone that needs multi tenant support but wants to allow users to access their own database. If you allow database access its trivial to create a really slow query and the resource limiters prevent one tenant from ruining performance for everybody.

The best example of this is Salesforce, which has their own proprietary SQL-like query language that's clearly just a crappy front end to generate raw SQL to feed their Oracle DB's. Without Oracle's per-tenant limit this would be far too risky because of idiots making bad queries.

An better solution these days is to put each tenant in a Postgres container and let the OS control resource limits for them, but this wasn't an option until recently.
Just skimming the code, this is an impressive piece of work, probably one of the most comprehensive open source ASR implementations using deep learning I've seen yet. It certainly looks correct based on the careful documentation (English comments would also help), but the most important part is providing a pre-trained model. Validating TF code can be an expensive and painstaking process, and if you have the weights, then sharing them proves that your net works. Saying this seems obvious, but very few open source implementations actually take that step, for whatever reason (not sure why).
Sure it can get just a big as Google Buzz or Plus.

That's an absurd argument. Of course being able to search titles is better than not being able to search at all, but card-catalog search is 25 years behind the norm that people are used to. This is the equivalent of 'eat your peas, some people get no food at all' and it's dismissive of rather than responsive to the problem.

Can you say more about what definition of cyberpunk you'd be using for determining if content was relevant for that topic? If you mean "topics like privacy, cryptography, robotics, software etc, with a critical view on their evolution and potential effects on society at large", I'd be interested if there was well- curated content in these areas.

If I can make one suggestion, it would be to honestly ask yourself if you are able to get and curate this content in a way that'd be compelling for others and not just yourself. If it seems like that may not be the case, perhaps get others involved in helping to curate? Not sure if that's the answer.
As long as you can protect it when challenged.
Thanks for the hint - I'll definitely have a look at it. Compile it statically and you can run it on a bare Linux kernel (or on a container) without any dependency... reminds me a bit of Go.

Do you happen to know if there's a benchmark comparison (CPU usage, RAM usage, RPS) against nodejs and php (the code style of the example reminds me of Silex)?
Your last sentence isn't favorable for Oracle, in my opinion; the opposite in fact.

Stop being so literalist. The poster above is making the valid point that now that we're used to being able to do full-text searches nobody in their right mind wants to invest much effort in using a search engine where that facility isn't available, it's the new normal.

It's a solved problem in technical terms so the only question worth asking is what resources are needed to implement it.

In finance, no one will trade on perm oracle/sybase installs for open source databases, even if they were free (which they are not - always have to pay for support). A couple of million $$ don't make the difference in comparison to a few hundred million $$ that have to go into replatforming, tools, skills.

In cloud/managed space, Postgres is also hit and miss - still no good cross-region option and frankly other than AWS RDS not many other managed Postgres services.

So, MySQL rules the cloud/managed databases, and oracle/sybase/mssql rule on prem.
I spent several years in securities and derivatives trading and the most frequently cited reason for avoiding open-source software I heard was that, in the event of a major foul up, there was no one to sue if you got sued yourself. It's not that difficult for an attorney to paint you as reckless for using "free" software.

I am pretty sure that a similar tool (specific for photos/jpeg's) would be very useful, but extending the same principles to different file formats is - as I see it - extremely hard and in a large number of cases simply impossible (due to the actual structure of the file format itself).
So, this is a great question to which I had no answer (not about almonds specifically, but I've heard similar claims for e.g. hummus). I still don't have any answer, but I believe the answer lies in the realm of "glycemic index is a complex measure that doesn't exactly match any simple model for what it would be". For instance, fructose has a pretty low glycemic index (about the same as kidney beans, actually), and it's literally sugar.
And justifiably so, especially since Lego had stolen the concept from an English company first.

Both EULAs and FOSS licenses are license agreements. Presenting them in the same way is not disingenuous. The length of the GNU GPL rivals that of some EULAs.

If you do not need to agree to a license before you use a piece of software, then EULAs would be invalid. You do need to agree to the license before you use the software. That the license grants permission to run the software for any purpose, usually with a disclaimer of liability, is irrelevant.

If you do not comply with (for instance), the terms of the GNU GPLv2, then you no longer have a license to the software. That means that you must cease distributing and using that piece of software or be at risk of a lawsuit from the copyright holder.

I wanted to agree with this article but when I read it, I found myself thinking things like, "wait.. more Americans are lower class, but the threshold for Americans to be middle class is way higher than for other countries...". I'm pretty sure that "middle class" is one of those political marketing terms that don't mean anything anyway. I mean, the division into 3 instead of 2 or 4 is totally arbitrary. The reason politicians pick 3 is because a) it's a nice round number that has an air of truthiness and b) everybody thinks they're middle class, so then the politician can go on about how their policies are good for the middle class. I think a better way to divide class is into 2 classes: owners and workers. Then you're really addressing the fact that there are two sources that money flows from: property and labor. The selling of the concept of the "middle class" is one of the great marketing ploys of history.
I agree that they seem to be covering "commercial fruit juice." But it's an interesting question as to how chewing fruit in its natural form compares to blending it. The second question would be: why make juice at all, then? I guess the answer there is as a vehicle for the fish oil, protein powder, etc. I'm sure there's a bit of psychology at play, too: I think our drink concoctions appeal to the alchemist in each of us.
One thing that surprises/concerns me about chromebooks is the lack of ethernet ports. Surely something so internet reliant can't be expected to use wifi only.

> This only works with people who are already anti-corporate. A normal conservative would say "Because they're entitled to run their business and use their property as they see fit, and if you don't like what they're offering, you don't have to buy it."

This is true, but I'm not sure what can be done about it. In my experience you can't really appeal to many conservatives along any axis, because they're already sold on the "businesses can do whatever they want" paradigm and if you knock down one pillar of that, they'll erect two others in its place. It won't matter to them if the pillars are made of bullshit, and it won't matter if you keep knocking them down, because they've got a seemingly endless supply of weak excuses for corporate misbehavior and authoritarianism. (And, after your discussion, they'll just prop back up all the pillars you knocked down as well.)

So while the point I suspect you were trying to make was "find better ways to appeal to conservatives", what I take away from it is "convince more people to be anti-corporate". Conservatives are a lost cause IMO.

Now you've got me thinking of Frank Abagnale (from Catch Me If You Can). He forged checks where the computer-readable routing number written in magnetic ink didn't match the bank the check was supposedly from, which resulted in the checks cycling nonstop back and forth through the Federal Reserve's system. They only caught on to it because one of the checks went through so many times it started to fall apart and got flagged as unreadable.

{ email: { $regex: /@mongodb\.com$/ } },
{ status: { $in: [ "Unknown", "Incomplete" ] } }
]
}
} )

While still not having to define the rest of the schema that you don't want too. It feels more flexible.

Upon further consideration, I suspect this was a very intentional move and not just a growth effect, because they could just as well have kept moderation strict.

People do like to answer questions and be acknowledged for their know-how, but what people love is to talk about themselves and have their experiences validated.

Sure, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook give a way to have your social existence acknowledged, but Quora offers anyone to have their individual life experiences validated, no matter if they have the lifestyle or looks typically associated with social media fame. That is a very powerful attractor but unfortunately brings out the result described above - users beginning to talk incessantly about themselves as a topic, the more one answers, the more one has the chance to convert to a topic oneself and have even more explicit opportunity to tell one's story.

Combine this with low traffic in topics of maybe more serious interest and Quora will suggest any popular content ('topics you might like). This is how one ends up having these stories in your feed without ever expressing interest in them.
Yep that one.

Edit sorry. I thought the question was talking about an edit I made before where I mentioned another book.

Can relate, I failed at the game of academia as well. In the end, on LinkedIn I gave up and ended up just putting in my college, but without listing a degree. Funnily enough, it looks pretty much like I finished to the uninitiated outsider.

Now that I'm CTO of one of the more successful startups in Berlin, that's actually one of my pet peeves for rejecting job offers when applicable. Microsoft just offered me a very well paid startup CTO position, but I told the recruiter he must be wrong, as I didn't fit their requirements (i.e. a finished degree)...
What about students back in their home country that would preferably buy German whether as an individual or as a person in charge of a business?

See the example of French-educated people/elite in Africa.

There is no need to point the finger to these foreign students: just talk to your politicians.
I had two chromebooks and I loved them. I could get done everything I need on daily basis except for printing. Printing is a bitch on chromebooks. I tried all Google cloud print, wifi print and all other things but printing was inconvenient so when my business picked up and I had to print shipping labels and packing slips I went ahead and purchased a Surface Book. Now the business grew and we have a separate warehouse with a windows pc there for printing purposes im stuck with this 1400 dollar Surface book, its great hardware but I hate Microsoft Software, honestly, I just dont think Microsoft is good with software. Other than their office suite everything else MS makes is subprime at best. I had to use the media player than comes preinstalled on windows 10 yesterday and once again I told mysel, MS software sucks. I cant wait for Google to work out the bugs in Android apps running on Chromebooks. Hoping to switch back to chromebook soon.
