> There is also the matter of the fridge/freezer, the alleged culprit.

Not alleged: It’s known that this is how the fire started.

The fire was called in by the resident of the flat when their fridge caught fire. The fire service came, put the fire out in the flat and exited the building. Only at that point did they discover that the fire had spread to the outer skin of the building & they had a major incident on their hands.
Rightfully so, this is how more organizations should operate.
Although the AIS transponder was turned off - the vessel would still have appeared on radar. The cargo vessel's system wouldn't have had the same amount of information for anticollision calculations, but still would have been able to detect it as an obstacle and would have flagged it to anybody on the bridge who was paying attention.

Plenty of ships go to sea without transponders on, such as large fishing vessels that don't want to give away where the good spots are.
I mean, it's not like a really robust realtime feed would be much help for them anyway. As far as I know the rocket is completely autonomous, so even if something was going wrong during the landing a higher-quality feed would just give them higher-quality reasons to tear their hair out etc.
"How do you do that with single row only atomic transactions?"

In this scheme, you should theoretically be able to implement transactional protocols (two phase commit and friends, see, e.g., http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3027893) that ensure you do not actually sell two people the same thing, but may return an error at buy time that the inventory disappeared while you tried to buy it.

You pay a sometimes-very-high cost in throughput.

Of course, talking about mongodb, it's probably broken in a myriad of ways no matter what you do :)
First Steps of Learning Deep Learning (Image Classification in Keras)
Considering that US armed forces are at war (or police action or whatever it's called) almost all the time since WWII it's likely we'll never know ;)

But even then they certainly don't want to make it simple to trace their complete deployments.
There's always room to improve. Leaks exposing corruption and to a lesser extent critical software vulnerabilities are a good thing. I don't think anyone would argue that exposing the identity of, for example, undercover agents is a good thing. As another commenter said, you seem to lack color vision and only see black and white.

Also, patriotism as a justification for not exposing a corrupt government is a load of shit.

>The USS Fitzgerald is 153m and crewed by 200. It is extremely maneuverable

You aren't kidding...found this video of the same class of destroyer doing a 180 degree turn. Surprisingly nimble.

It seems the warship was being overtaken here, so rule 13 applies in this case "an overtaking vessel must keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken".
can someone explain why anyone would need this? just like bitcoin, the time you really need it is to avoid government oversight or censorship. if successful, wouldnt we all see the black market thrive while all regular use cases for the internet would continue on the regular distributed internet?
It's a perfectly reasonable term. It's not used for its literal meaning here, but that's fine. We use "network" to describe things that are not literally a net-like arrangement of threads, wires, etc.
Perhaps I shouldn't have been so certain about that point.

But look at the angle the Crystal hit at. If the Crystal had hit at a 90 degree angle the destroyer would have been split in two. The damage shows it was clearly hit at less than a 45 degree angle. If the Crystal was approaching with a smaller angle (I think it's 25 degrees) it loses it's right of way. Essentially it's running down the destroyer.

Now we know the Crystal should have been cruising at a more leisurely pace than the destroyer, so in reality that might mean the Crystal was ahead of the destroyer before the collision. But I strongly suspect something happened where the Crystal was the faster vessel and overtook the Fitsgerald, the crash itself is evidence of it.
If you have a company that will promise you a management job when you finish your MBA and pay for the MBA, then do it! Otherwise, it's not worth it.

You can find a management job that doesn't require an MBA at your age and with your level of experience. I have only a Bachelor's and have been in management roles since I finished school. I'm now at an executive level, and I'm younger than you.

One question is, "Do you enjoy management? Do you want to be a manager?" It's a radically different job than being a software developer (if that's what you are).

I'd also suggest looking into companies like Salesforce, which have offices in Houston and Atlanta, and which pay you the SF salary wherever you live. Moving out of Seattle/SF/NYC/Bay and making the same salary would instantly double your spending power. It sounds like you're willing to move anyway, if you're considering Boston, Philly, or LA.

The cities I'd suggest looking into, if you want to stay in tech and have a much lower cost of living: Atlanta, Nashville, Raleigh, and Tampa. All have much better quality-of-life than their reputations suggest.
If they did that, then the second a war started all of our surface Navy would be wiped out in a first strike.

It is entirely possible to believe "regulations are strangling business" and that some regulations are necessary. For example, it is reasonable to require fire suppression systems in multistory buildings and reasonable to mock the regulations requiring magicians to file written disaster safety plans for their rabbits.

The set of people who object to, and I quote, "any and all regulations," endquote, is an extremely small subset of the electorate.
I'm not from the united states. I'm saying this from the perspective of an outsider, and most of the people here think the same. Americans have serious loyalty issues, coming from self hatred. I'm watching from the outside, seeing things like snowden, and judging by how I would've reacted to a similar story in our country compared to how the U.S people reacted. A similar leak in my country would be condemned across all the political arc regardless of whether 1 document out of 1000 showed something bad. This is not the way to change things.
Is that in any way related to the somewhat apocryphal / mostly untrue anecjoke about the aircraft carrier and the lighthouse?

Use of the term "American" to describe US citizens is quite common outside the US.

To me, the idea that this is somehow a manifestation of our cultural arrogance and not just a mundane example of the malleability of human language is just another artifact of how certain people really, really want to find more reasons to hate us.

> They need to get data in like... 3 seconds... So the operators can shut the machine down if something goes wrong.

That sounds like a not-necessarily-low-latency-yet-still-realtime problem for which the original low latency solution was replaced with a non-low-latency solution that still hit the realtime scheduling deadlines.

It seems as more and more big players put money into such solutions, the bonefide low-latency realtime problem space shrinks to a smaller mindshare. I'm not sure if that mindshare is fitting or insufficiently small, but the shift is palpable and does have drawbacks.

So if you know about the problem of receiving and sending audio fast enough so that the human on the other end doesn't hear the result as an echo, you read this article between the lines and go, "oh, that's what the microcontroller and isochrony are doing in there." If you're not, however, there's nothing explicitly stated in the article that informs the reader that this problem space still exists and can't be solved by throwing AI/4G/The Cloud at it.

> tommorow it's CIA agents identities

I spotted two names in the Vault 7 leaks which WL failed to redact. Metadata from Shadow Brokers leaks gave Equation Group member identities, and additionally the Shadow Brokers twitter account directly called out a former Equation Group operator who is a part of the Information Security community (currently private sector / pen-testing).

So this is already starting to happen. Dangerous path, especially considering the indifference you mention.
I am of the opinion that you can never "truly understand" another person's suffering unless you share their subjective experience. Women's suffering, in general and in this regard, is compounded by experiences and insidious forces far broader than the acts at issue in any given incident. It is both incorrect and intellectually disingenous to ignore this context, and to approach the matter as a simple and narrow question of whether men can be sexually harassed, and if so, how it makes them feel.

Consider Kafka. Any one incident in one of his stories could be fairly viewed as merely a confusing annoyance, but that would miss the point.

But even the structural nature of violence against women is insufficient context alone. The feelings women experience when they are victimized in this way are products of history. And I submit that you cannot share in that experience without that history, which is to say without having been born a woman.

I can no sooner "truly understand" how women experience these things than I can truly understand how it feels to be a black man called "boy." I understand it intellectually, and I empathize as much as I can, but I'll never "get it" as someone who isn't a member of the out-group.

This isn't a contest of suffering. I can suffer just as much as a woman, if not more, but not in the same way. It is the character of the suffering that makes us different.
I agree that Snowden's disclosures went too far. But to be honest, that was more on the journalists that released them than him. Ultimately I think it was important that Snowden disclose the existence of many of these programs. In so doing the journalists he entrusted with his materials unfortunately ended up disclosing more details of specific techniques and methods than I would have preferred. However, I think the basic idea that he informed the US public of the types of bulk collection that were going on is important, and ought to be praised.

I spent years at sea as an Officer of the Watch in the Royal Navy - during that time I spoke to quite a few other watchkeepers from around the world. The attitude I encountered was always one of terror of getting it wrong rather than machismo.

I can see how in ambiguous scenarios with large cargo vessels this could lead to a collision. In a relatively nimble destroyer I'm very confident this wasn't a simple case of "I'm the stand on vessel, I won't move."
Great tool. I would love to see computing units -- gb/s, etc.
I can see how that might make it more politically difficult to pass something, but it wouldn't make it harder to come up with a plan that works. A plan that works and can pass is a harder, but unfortunately I was already in the realm of fantasy the moment I started talking about looking at foreign countries to see what worked for them.
Occam's razor is not in any way either now or historically restricted to scientific theories - proven or otherwise.
You could try to go the complicated route to disambiguate based on whether the other units present are liquid volume or mass.

As a parent of two young children, cities are stressful because of cars. You constantly have to be paying attention, holding hands, watching out at intersections. To me, no cars is more family friendly.
Thermodynamics also makes this really hard. The tube is at most 40 degrees celsius. The air outside is perhaps 20 degrees celsius in summer. There's just not enough of a temperature gradient to run any kind of efficient engine.

Natural gas burns at around 2000 degrees celsius.
Human ethics transcend nature

I don't think that's true. Of course you can come up with ethical systems which transcend nature but the ones that actually get adopted are simply sets and heuristics which make the group benefit the most from "just how it is."

Considering that moral attitudes are partially heritable, on a long enough time-scale, ethics that are truly separate from nature are bound to disappear or be relegated to marginal groups of people.
Was not clear from your comment as commonly the movies mastered in 1080p these days.
This is complete speculation, but my guess is something like: the people who might understand this (skilled directors and such) are used to 2D and don't much care for 3D, and the people who push 3D (executives) are too obsessed with making things "pop" to realize what they're doing.

You are confusing Bitcoin with Blockchain.

We need this because internet is currently centralized and an authority in power can control the flow of information. Blockstack aims to provide decentralized internet using blockchain and that is a good thing as it makes the internet stronger.

It would probably be simpler to use regenerative braking like a hybrid car. The trains are already electric.
That's useful. Clearly the destroyer didn't detect the container ship before the collision; there was no collision alarm and no maneuvering to avoid the collision. But why? That hasn't been reported publicly yet. The U.S. Navy probably knows in general terms; the bridge and CIC crew members will have been interrogated by now.

No real point in speculating in advance of evidence.
I think you don't need to invoke the heat exchange with the bottle to be relevant. I also believe that you get to accumulate it but there is a negative feedback due to the temperature gradient which prevent you to reach a high temperature difference.

For what it's worth (I'm not a physicist), here is my mental model of how I think it works.
We are working at equilibrium we don't care about the macroscopic flow of air as it balances out.
When the wind blows in the bottle it creates a more ordered arrangement of the air molecules (imagine laminar or vortex) at the neck (zone of low entropy).
The internal energy will diffuse toward the region of more order (Second principle).
So internal energy of the inside air flows towards the interface where it then diffuse into the nearby flow and get carried away by the wind.

As soon as there is a temperature difference between the inside air and outside air, traditional heat exchanges also occurs at the interface which has an opposite effect.

> I would reply: replica sets and sharding and multi-threaded architecture and the absence of impedance mismatch, all in a single product that was designed for these features.

If you don't care about data integrity, transactions and efficiency, then by all means. But in that case, a distributed file system is as efficient.

> multi-threaded architecture

I fail to see how a multi-threaded architecture is a problem with Postgres.

> the absence of impedance mismatch

Postgres supports JSON type(and XML), so no.
Did any leakers care to leak only the information relevant to the corruption? No. I do have color vision. I see the most blackish grey. And so should you. Yet you all cling to that little white spot in the middle of all the blackness, and using it to justify everything.

It was a distributed system. The inventory was kept in Mongo with atomic debits and credits applied with a bus in front. SQL existed for the actual order, but inventory was managed in Mongo fine.

I'd like two of this product? Increment reserved in Mongo atomically, fire a bus message that inventory was reserved. I'd now like just one? Again atomically remove one from reserved and fire another message. Simplified of course.

Two users can't reserve the same inventory, reserving the inventory is atomic, and everyone else occurs during reconciliation. Typical distributed systems.

An average Russian civilian gets his news from government-controlled media, the average Fox News viewer is loyal to this government but is supremely misinformed, and were, and still are, being manipulated. Is that what you want, dumb subservience?

And the myth of the US being better. Pah. China's elite are corrupt as fuck, but I don't think the US can be proud by saying "well we're very fucking corrupt, but China's worse at that!". Military-industrial complex, Halliburton, Citizens United, Wisconsin, Donald Trump and his GOP Congress still plowing through a bill that will strip health protection from millions... But oh no, look at the Chinese.

To quote Brandeis, "Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means -- to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal -- would bring terrible retribution."

It shouldn't really surprise anyone that a cheaper VIA host interface chip would have worse performance or compatibility than a more expensive TI or Agere/LSI chip. The VIA chips were sufficient for connecting an external hard drive, and that made them sufficient for checking a box on the laptop's spec sheet.

You didn't run into trouble with USB because by that time all your USB ports were coming straight from the Intel southbridge. Even if Intel's host controller implementation had issues, it would have been the device maker's problem to work around them since Intel's market share was so large.

No modern peripheral interconnect is simple enough for host interfaces to be judged on a mere pass/fail basis. The cheap chips almost always find a way to suck, whether it's obscure like FireWire or ubiquitous like gigabit Ethernet.
They are already supported. There is "B" or "byte" for byte and "bit" for bit. SI-prefixes are case-sensitive, so "G" is for giga, "M" for mega, "m" for milli.
