You call it the "public internet" but it's most definitely not a public space or anything like it.

Private entities own and operate all(most of) the servers, services and conduits, and that does need to be paid for and maintained.

I'm not saying I agree with Linkedin in this particular scenario, but this is about two commercial for-profit entities arguing over money, so let's not make it about something it's not.
> Why this doesn't short out at the liquid interface isn't clear.

The same reason metal does not rust without water (the metal/oxygen is touching after all without a membrane) - you need a second path for the electricity, which is what the water does. (The water does not chemically do anything - it simply acts as a wire.)
>> 2 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE cleared (default)

>> 4 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE set

While we are at it. The flag is a bit in the header of the .exe file. It should be set at compile time in the visual studio option, but it can be set into any file really with an hex editor.

Don't expect to be able to use the 4 GB even with the flag. There is a lower hard cap that depends on the version of windows.
I don't think they do any such thing, if anything they are rotating IPs/user agents to avoid being limited or blocked.

Google requires sites to send the crawler the same content as someone clicking a link on a Google results page would see, so even if some sites get creative covering it up with blurred boxes and similar dark patterns, the data is there in the markup.
What is the option for someone to register a domain name if every domain registrar refuses to do business with them? I may have the terminology wrong, since the domain is registered but needs to be transferred to another registrar.

China is a communist autocracy where the leadership is a ruling counsel. It has divisions of power, and peaceful transitions of power.

It's not a dictatorship characterized of a single leader ruling by force, with no stable transitions of power.

As an aside, North Korea is a stable hereditary monarchy, and not a dictatorship. Neither him nor his father took power via force.

Now that doesn't make them "good people". Mary Queen of Scots, and King John of England, were legitimate monarchs and terrible leaders.
I think the spectacles are pretty baller. Somebody send me some.

> A lesson I learned not that long ago was to constantly critical analyse my work. Does it hold the audiences interest? is it too long? too short? Compare it with hit songs, what makes them a hit? What’s good about it? what’s good/bad about your idea in comparison?

I disagree with this. Do self-indulge. If you don't write a song for yourself first and foremost, why write it?

> Love, Religion, War, Peace, Politics, People, Family, pick any theme you like, but DO pick a theme, otherwise you’ll have nothing to write about and the song will be aimless.

I disagree with this even more. If the theme didn't pick you, if the lyrics aren't like a child you have to give birth to, no matter who may find it ugly or dumb, maybe keep it in your private folder, but keep looking, because as long as you're writing something where you can put the pen down, it's still not it. Make it so good and real that it doesn't matter who likes it, but rather whom it likes.

> Look at Pink Floyd’s concept album, “The Wall” as an exercise of using related fictional/non-fictional themes to drive a whole album.

I think The Wall was born out of very deep experiences. I would believe the writers if they said they "picked a theme" and such, but until then I'll think they just let it out, and the patterns emerged naturally. I certainly notice this in my stuff, I don't care about being consistent or poetic, I care about being correct. I get carried away and then I question myself. If it withstands questioning, or makes me grin like the cat that ate the canary, I keep it (in my public folder so to speak), and then I often find parallels after the fact. As some guy said, the great advantage of telling the truth is you don't have to remember what you said. One time I took good bits from all sorts of song attempts that didn't quite strike me, and put them together, adding some glue and changing some things. Now I can't even tell where the "seams" were, it all seems like it's meant to be that way... but I bet if I changed the order around some, it would also seem that way. Don't analyze too much, it's a fool's errand -- play and listen from your heart.

> Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

-- C. S. Lewis
Gasoline is mostly just flammable (and the vapor /slightly/ explosive).

We'd need to know more about what type of chemicals are used in this battery, but glancing at what's involved for 'flow batteries' I'd make a /slightly/ educated guess that these would all be considered 'industrial' materials. You might see a public bus using them, but I doubt it would be safe to allow the average driver to self-refuel.
Well it's not. Not objectively. Not in any sense. Only in abstract terms.
This is because your average iPhone user cares more about what phone they're using and simply uses it more >>> has more money

Fair point. I can't exactly blame them either.
If you're buying the card purely for mining, sure.

If you want one anyway (i.e. you don't necessarily put the card cost in your sums), then the returns ought to be better than just the electricity costs. Especially if (say) mining to hold rather than sell straight off.

There are also rumours of outrageous hash rates being possible - multiples of the current nVidia hash rates. But we'll see if they ever come to fruition.
This sounds interesting. It got me thinking about some other ideas.

What about solar panels on the roof? I found this article [1], and Elon Musk has said they'll "probably offer it as an option" [2].

I wonder how many extra miles you could get with that. If nothing else, it would be nice to know that you could slowly recharge your battery if you get stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Another idea - highways where you could drive while recharging. Maybe something similar to train tracks, or an overhead wire. Or wireless power transfer through the wheels, if that would be possible? (I don't think it is.)

I just wanted to point out that's is not a theoretical possibility, but actual ground breaking work did look sketchy as hell.

The "The nice thing about math is that sooner or later the truth comes out" bothers me. The knowlege in Archimedes palimpsest was lost so long the eventually doesn't seem to be much comfort.
I certainly hate the word. There is someone I know who talks about "mindfulness" all the time, especially before he walks into an open pit. Anxious people have minds that are "full" of junk and would be better off making them empty.
Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. I'm actually fairly happy with my current position, where I'm one of the more senior engineers. I was contacted by Google (and Facebook within a few days of each other, the latter of which I have an interview with soon...). So I'm not really in "job search mode," much less obsessed with working at Google, but nevertheless I can't help but feel a sense of wounded pride. Even more so due to the fact that I interviewed with Google 2 years ago and had the same result, but that time I didn't study at all and this time I did, and thought that I had done a lot better. :\ It also doesn't help that Google said they were "aggressively hiring", which apparently still doesn't mean that "answering all of the questions" is good enough.
Naytev is hiring SaaS sales rep #1 – SF
Whether or not it has value on it's own (which I'm not convinced of in coding). It doesn't matter.

Meritocratic hiring has value on its own. The best person getting the job has value on its own. Not including OR discluding someone from a job based on their skin color or genitals has value on its own.

Insisting that having people with different skin color program a piece of software makes that software better is one thing, actually playing god with people's careers on the basis of their skin color or genitals because you, personally, value that more than meritocracy is an irresponsible and highly unethical course of action.
Maybe there was simply another excellent candidate they ended up going with instead. I've seen people doing hiring really wish they could hire more than one of their candidates, but ending up having to make a difficult choice.
I have a mechanical deadbolt with a keypad that can be opened by anyone with the right combination. It's handy when I'm not at home but need to let someone in.

For Airbnb, etc., you'd have to change the combination regularly (which is easily done in about 30 seconds) but at least I don't have to worry about getting locked out if I forget my phone, it's battery is drained, cell service is out, etc.
They'd most certainly whitelist the google ips.

So they want to forbid a startup to scrap the personal data of their users as if Linkedin was the only company allowed to have access to this data.

There are plenty of poisonous plants growing all over the world. Not eating them is personal responsibility.

Several of the ones you've possibly heard of from Harry Potter or general folklore (monkshood, wolfsbane, deadly nightshade, mandrake) are poisonous and wild (sometimes common) in Britain.

I've known daffodils, foxgloves, rhubarb leaves, holly berries and others were toxic since early childhood.
Coevolution was part of it, but the actual "breakthrough" in their paper was the use metagenome sequences for protein structure prediction [1]. I don't disagree that engineering talent is needed in this field, but in this case it's not really fair to boil it down to an engineering problem. I mean, this work relies on the development of the Rosetta energy function, which is a wild beast of a scientific problem [2].

I'm a bit confused why you're teaching JavaScript and C++. It would seem like those are geared toward different types of jobs. Also I've heard that other schools stopped two languages as it's too difficult to get people without prior experience to programming to learn two languages in such a short time period.

Scary and outrageous.
A preliminary injunction can be the subject of an interlocutory appeal.
> Private entities own and operate all(most of) the servers, services and conduits, and that does need to be paid for and maintained

And are MORE than happy to send the content of their servers to unsolicited, uninvited, anonymous guests on mere request. No-one is forcing them to do so!
This is a fantastic guide. Thanks for putting it up!
I disagree. I'm talking about an inventor talking to a manufacturer (or engineering firm), the manufacturer saying "thanks for the idea, don't mind if we do" and then ripping the inventor off and not sharing the profit. That's not competition and it's not good for inventors, because sharing your idea is inherently part of the process of taking it to market.

IMO, fair competition comes into play after the inventor has developed their product into something ready for production, otherwise the incentive to invent will disappear. Whether they then deserve a temporary monopoly to recover their development costs is up for debate I guess, but I'm talking about shielding inventors from getting robbed of their ideas.
I am implying that the internet is now communications infrastructure, and should therefore be equally open to all comers.

Domain registration and DNS are [nearly] essential now, in the same way that street signs are essential for a road network. If your city council decides to rip out the street sign that labeled the street you live on, such that visitors could not easily locate your house, and mail would not be delivered in a timely or reliable fashion to your mailbox, do you think you might have grounds to complain?

Assigning a street name and postal address to your lot is not the same as building a house on it.

So not "every online community" should be barred from censorship on their own properties, but if you're running a core information service, you're danged skippy that censorship is not okay.

If Cthulhu comes up to your desk chewing on half of a Dagonite cultist, you accept its business, and charge it exactly the same fee per month as you just charged smiling baby Jesus holding two cute kittens for his domain registration. The amount of editorial control you may exercise is inversely proportional to your power to influence the entire Internet. Since domain registration is right there at the center and has such great power, you do not get to color the whole Internet with your own personal values.
It's almost as if these alt-right libertarians want wide regulation on the internet.

You simply linked to a chart showing market share for mobile and desktop operating systems. None of that addresses the comment you were replying to, which speaks to behavior of those users.

It's interesting to see how differently similar comments were voted on the post about Google rejecting a neo-nazi domain compared to this post about DreamHost defending anti-Trump protesters, yet the same holds true.

I will only use companies that always defend their customers for my own small business and personal sites.
Hero is a bit strong. He rashly decided to register a domain name without knowing how the malware would respond to that. By luck it de-activated itself when the domain became active. The malware could just as easily have decided to encrypt the victim's hdd and destroy the key.
You can think of extra ports as failure points but you can also think of them as redundancy. Having a single port to connect everything causes a lot of wear on a single point of failure.

A well-known "paradox" states that tasks that require savant-level intelligence from humans (like playing chess) are actually doable with computers, but tasks that any idiot can do (say, pouring yourself a cup of tea) are crazy hard.
Solar panels charge really slowly compared to how much energy is needed to move a car.

I'm probably totally wrong here, but if the whole car was solar panels I would expect 600 watt to be generated. An electric car would need that for 0.8hrs or so to move one mile (0.44 kWh/mile?) plus acceleration.
Read the (currently) top post by Ars linking to the Wikipedia page.

There's a table of the currently known public chemistries near the bottom.

There are applications with better power density than Lithium based batteries (at the electrodes), but I don't know about how an overall solution would compare to a gasoline setup.

I think the only fair comparison in such a case would be to have a roughly standard car design and compare complete solutions (currently common petrol / diesel depending on vehicle size, hybrid (electric), full electric (batteries / 'flow batteries' of different types)).
That's a real question in California. The Unruh Civil Rights Act has been held to be broad enough to cover white supremacist affiliation.[1] There are a few cities, including Washington, D.C., which specifically prohibit discrimination on the basis of political affiliation.

The sun is ~1 kw/square meter and solar panels are 15-20% efficient.

So for every square meter of roof space covered in panels you can get a max of about 200 watts of power.

This is a lazy, handwavy characterization of the situation, but it paints the picture, it isn't much of a contribution as batteries head north of 50 kw-h.
In East Germany before the unification, lifestyles were more traditional. Moreover, there were incentives to start a family early in life. Perhaps most importantly, young families would get priority treatment when applying for newly-built apartments. Therefore people got married in their early 20s, and moved into their new flat, away from parents, as soon as possible, and had the sex life young married couples normally have.
IIRC, in the case of Firefox the problem was not porting Firefox itself to 64-bit. That was done a long time ago. The problem was all of the 32-bit dependencies people had installed.

For example - if a user only had 32-bit Flash installed and they updated or installed 64-bit Firefox, they'd be annoyed that Flash "broke". That might not be the best or most current example, but it's that kind of thing that held up 64-bit default on Windows.
I can't read the article (no subscription), but I wouldn't expect many blackberries to be left in the South -- except near a busy road. If nothing else, there are enough thrifty Northerners around :-)

It really doesn't take much effort to detect the majority of scrapers. Usually you do so by monitoring patterns of any given IP.

Is each request a profile page incremented (/users/1, /users/2, etc)

or dozens of requests a minute (faster than a typical user would read)?

Is static content (particularly images and CSS) being downloaded too or just the HTML content?

Sometimes the referrer HTTP header can give clues too - though you have to be careful there as that's as unreliable as the user agent header.

However if you're really paranoid about scrapers you can also throw in some honeypots. eg a fake user (/users/13) which is a user account that doesn't exist so that page wouldn't have any links from within your site. ie you only reach it if you're incrementing through the user IDs. Or perhaps a link within your HTML which doesn't render so it's only reachable via automated scripts that don't check what links are rendered inside the display view. Anyone that gets ensnared in your honeypot could then be put on a temporary IP blacklist. Though the danger of doing this is you accidentally blacklist good crawlers if you're not careful about setting appropriate robots rules.
Still seems worth it for a slight efficiency gain plus the ability to gain charge just by waiting if you run out of juice in the middle of nowhere.

How does that make it okay?

Anyway, this was different. Merv had surrendered. FDR was bombing cities that were still participating in a war against the Allies. Another factor that makes these incomparable is that the Mongol army killed all these people with swords and spears, not unguided bombs. That means the civilians were killed deliberately.

It may be small comfort for the civilians killed by bombing runs during WW2 that they were collateral damage, but the intention to kill civilians tells us something about the moral character of the Mongol army.

I don't know about the CVE, but the earlier Liberty ships were not particularly well constructed (brittle steel that resulted in some of them breaking in half in the middle of the Atlantic under cold conditions).

But for the few that broke in half, several more were sunk by U-Boots. They weren't expected to last many more years after the war (life span of only 5 years) and it didn't matter that much given the short term necessity of the war.
Wow, that is awesome! Such a creative way to show off a portfolio
Exactly. The author says we shouldn't check boxes to fill quotas... and then doesn't accuse anyone of doing so. She tosses that strawman out there, getting people to nod their heads in vigorous agreement, but she never makes any claims that any particular company is engaging in the behavior she criticizes.

Of course, the implication is that Google is doing so. But if Google was doing so, they wouldn't have the poor diversity stats they've been accused of having.

You can't have it both ways! Either Google is lowering the bar to achieve satisfactory diversity stats... or they are failing to achieve satisfactory diversity stats.
It's all very well and good to increase the pipeline. But we also need to continue our efforts to support women who are currently working as many of them experience sexual harassment. But we also need to keep in mind that some people don't like tech and don't like tech and are happy with their jobs that are less challenging and pay less money. For example, an acquaintance who is a secretary told me that she thought programming was a boring job and she was glad to be a secretary even though it's a low wage and low prestige job.
Just wondering if Travis could ever imagined the Uber success he could have funded Uber Angel round of $1,2M by inself he had the money to do it. Everything being equal he now would own 20% but probably would have the same problem with Benchmark.
