>>> on AWS you have the option of getting dedicated machines which you can use to guarantee no two machines of yours run on the same underlying motherboard, or you can just use the largest instance type of its class (ex: r3.8xlarge) to probably have a whole motherboard to yourself.

Not at all. Major mistake here.

When you buy a dedicated instances on AWS, you reserve an entire server for yourself. All the VMs you buy subsequently will go to that same physical machine.

In effect, your VMs are on the same motherboard and will all die together if the hardware experiences a failure. It's the exact opposite of what you wanted to do!
Do you have any experience with Nickel–iron batteries from Chinese companies? They seem like the kind of tech where a "cheap knockoff" might be good enough because they're A) not that fancy and B) durable as heck.
How I Made a 5,000% Return on a Two-Day Vacation
But when it comes to being banned, deplatformed, accused of being in a 'hate group', labelled a Nazi, etc, the problem is the idea that expressing certain opinions indicates that you are a good person.
“And I said, ‘Well, so why don’t you stop listening?’” Murphy continued. “And he says, ‘I can’t, because it’s the only station that will go on mile after mile and I can pick it up again.’”

Just drove from IA to MI and it's true. Between 90.3 and 92.7 FM there's always an NPR station waiting.

Or I could just download their app and listen anywhere / anytime.

a toy like this = referred to the madsen submarine

> Do you honestly believe the Chinese could learn even a single useful thing from Madsen's toy?

I honestly believe that 99% of people in China don't know how to build a submarine or have free access to militar technology so, yes I do.

But lets explore your idea. If the reason is neither the passengers, nor the submarine, must be in the cargo. "Somebody found a shipload of something illegal, thus must be 'silenced'". Is a perfectly valid hypothesis. The problem is that: 1) No drugs where found and 2) would the guy be so dumb as to invite a journalist to enter in a relatively small submarine if there was a shipload of something illegal inside? It seems unlikely to me.
The Gray House by Mariam Petrosyan review – a cult magical realist saga
RUBOUT punched all the bits on punched paper tape. You could use it to actually edit the tape by feeding the tape back into the punch, if you created slack space with some NULs, which didn't punch any holes at all. RUBOUT the characters you didn't want, and punch the replacements into the NUL spaces.

Important to remember that ASR-33s weren't designed to be use with computers.
I find the more interesting distinction is between the fates of Bavaria and Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony, formed by the British by amalgamating smaller states after the war). Both are large, agrarian states, with Niedersachsen somewhat wealthier in the 1950s. However Bavaria diversified its economy better and became a powerhouse, while Niedersachsen was, IIRC, the poorest of the West German Länder at the time of unification, and until that time received the most federal assistance.

Slightly related: I'm curious about educational background and the impact on admission.

The figures for Summer 2017 are 72 different universities out of 294 founders. That seems like a pretty specific group within academia. Possibly a set of highly selective universities. I'm curious if the applicant pool similarly as narrow, or if the brand of one's alma mater bears relevance to the process.

As mentioned prior, a piece of paper is a poor proxy for talent and drive.
The decline in the pace of discovery, if it is real, could also be because the early researchers took the low hanging fruit.
You've convinced me. Complaints about regulations and coal are a distraction and a dodge. There's no future in which newly-constructed coal generators are profitable, except for niche applications. I think that complaining about coal regulations is just a way to avoid facing reality. The large coal companies have already gone bankrupt recently; they will continue to go through restructuring for years as the sector shrinks massively.

For natural gas, and for oil (transportation), we will see similar death throes as the carbon-free alternatives become cheaper than natural gas and oil. That's probably 15 years out, but the time will come, with or without the carbon tax.

Deliberate practice for X literally means do thing X.. i think that is simple - the best way to get better at X is do X. So it really depends on what you want to get better at.

Practice for algorithms could mean doing a lot of leetcode/interview style algo problems.

Practice for working with large codebases means practicing reading/understanding code quickly. So maybe picking a large scary open source project and trying to make a contribution.

Reinventing wheels like andreasgonewild is the most useful and fun kind of practice IMO. Pick a cool technology and make it yourself from scratch. Maybe in a new area you know nothing about. A distributed KV store? A stack-based programming language? A code formatter?

If you develop something big like that, you will surely exercise all the muscles it takes to develop something. Reading too many tutorials or watching too many videos is narrowly exercising the "learning" muscle. Solving algorithmic puzzles is narrowly exercising the "CS fundamentals" muscle. But the best workout to prepare to chop wood is to chop wood.
I believe they explicitly stated that no money exchanged hands over the KitKat naming. I wouldn't be surprised if the same were true here. It's easy cross promotion for both companies, and it's not like there's a wealth of "O" named confections.
I was at Curry On! but missed that talked. Everyone kept telling how good it was so I watched it as soon as it was put online.

While Matt's (medical) story is truly inspiring, the link with the other (CS) part is really dubious to say the least.

Still, it shows how transposing ideas from a discipline to another can yield leap and bounds advances, although in this particular case it was fortunate that this happened very quickly after the technology to do this became available.

Breaking Stereotypes: 7 Secrets for Hiring Best Female Developers
What's interesting is that The Art of Seduction is written by the author of The 48 Laws of Power, which is hugely popular among inmates. However, the Art of Seduction is almost entirely about romantic influence, and most of its lessons are about manipulating the emotions of one single target individual....so in my opinion it's hard to see how The Art of Seduction should be off-limits to prisoners.
> Personally, I think a better perspective is to reduce and/or avoid censorship altogether, especially as far as internet infrastructure is concerned.

Yes! Systems ought to be designed such that censorship is impossible. Not just that we won't censor because we're so liberal and all. No, just plain uncensorable by design.

Isn't “valued at” based on the most recent funding round (in the absence of public trading, the only clear objective measure for a pre-IPO startup), so if they haven't raised since the problems, they'd still be “valued at” the same amount, to the most current available information?

This sounds like a weapon system designed by Stark Industries.
You may have a point. The decision of who to fund may rely in part on seeking people similar to oneself and if the demographics of the applicant pool are not reflected in the staff of YC it may skew the outcome against minorities.
Oil reserve estimates are always wrong because they don't dynamically account for even slightly higher prices spurring innovation and exploration. The world has more oil reserves today than at any time in history. Oil won't be displaced by "running out" but by even faster innovation in renewables. (And by carbon taxes.)
Don't get me wrong, the feature itself is indeed useful.

It's just that its so.. minor. If you ever wanted to implement this in your app then there are multiple ready-made solutions for this or you could write your own in a short amount of time. Presenting this as one of the key new features in a major new OS versions seems just strange.. like there wasn't anything else substantial.
My experience with my Android-based TV is that every Android update and every update of Google's own apps (e.g., YouTube) is a regression is so many totally unnecessary ways that it almost seems deliberate at this point.

don't think it only refers to addition? 'lateral' just lampshades the orthogonality of the imaginary line to the real on the complex plane. the stretchytwistyness of multiplication simply inhabits said laterality.

i mean you could argue that 'lateral' in-itself is insufficient to disambiguate between the complex numbers and other planar algebras like the duals or split-complexes or just plain-ol pairs with pairwise multiplication. but it's clear who's the belle of the ball.

i guess if we want to be more inclusive we could call the pairwise-mults the plain- (pun intended) or boring-laterals, and the three planar complex algebras could collectively be called the stretchy-laterals, having sheary, twisty, and lorentzy (hyperbolic-twisty) subtypes.
Good point, yes, until there is another transaction we will not know for sure. But I would be quite surprised if they did another round and it would be an 'up' round.

No. They will do too little, too late. Just like the lambda that were slated for Java 7 and came in Java 8. Now they're talking about value types, but it will be for Java 10 at the soonest (Kotlin doesn't have that either btw).

They're also wont to misdesign a lot of stuff. The generics implementation is mental, and the module stuff from Java 9 seems to be a debacle in the making. Lambdas are good though.

I noticed there are some commonalities between this keyboard and the Japanese layout on PC keyboards.

For instance, note the co-location of * and : characters on the same key. It's not in the same place on the Japanese layout, but the co-location is the same.

Another shared feature between the two is the co-location of the = and - (equals and dash).

Next, the tilde in the general same area on the Japanese layout as on this terminal, close to the Return key.

Lastly, the correlation between the numeric row keys and their Shift glyphs is almost the same on the Japanse layout and this terminal!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
JPN-PC: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) <blank> __ same!
ADM-DA: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) <blank>
US-101: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )

There may be other similarities; this is just what I noticed at a glance.
I really agree that the hermetic siloization of applications and their data over the past 30 years has been a major step backwards. I also wish all apps were composable.

It seems to require a mental shift few developers are willing to adopt however. Good luck -- you are on the right track on many things (even if I can't imagine life without a command line).
The flip side of storage directly connected to the grid is demand response: consuming electricity at times lower than peak. This serves nearly an identical function to storage that's permanently fixed to the grid, as long as it's truly dispatchable.

The numbers you posted there are remarkably similar in the amount of storage in passenger cars as we shift to an EV fleet. 260 million vehicles in the US with 50 kWh batteries on average is 13,150,000,000 kWh.

With smart charging at the cheap times, passenger vehicles can serve as fantastic time-shifters as demand increases on the grid. Just some of those pesky logistics and coordination tasks to solve...

I find the sweeping generalizing of groups that people are directing their hate towards to be incredibly toxic.

The Boston protests (for example) were purely about Free Speech: http://i.imgur.com/abhmjW8.png

Yet thousands of protesters show up, shout slurs and weave their own narratives that the protesters are nazis which then justify their directed hate.

It's disgusting: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskThe_Donald/comments/6utjoi/anyon...

It's just mobs justifying hate, its the most ironic shit I've ever seen. It just fills me with more discontent and distrust of the majority and the mob.

Idiocracy is getting less and less satirical by the day.
Google Now is malware that can't be removed and is constantly showing you ads and spying on your behavior (look at the app integrations menu). The best you can do is go through the disable-athon menu, but that only works until the next update.

Not a problem, just make it illegal and export the externalities.

On the other hand, you're right if you mean workers abroad would be willing to work longer hours for less pay --be they overseas outsourced workers or otherwise.

But, internally, at least, it could be made illegal to get over the competitive aspect out of the picture.
Virtual Reality Platform Created for Lab Animals
The question the article wants to address though is whether or not working longer is working better. Maybe 5 hours will produce more work than 4, but this is attacking our traditional 8 hour system with the concept that, in the long run, you may be as productive while working less hours.

Then again, their last point about hunter-gatherers isn't very convincing, since our needs have dramatically changed in the last couple hundred years.

So I get to be eaten alive under the pretense of being a delicious snack treat, cool.
Preposterous. The inertia holding the 8-hour day in place is due to employers' not needing to change their ways, not due to some imagined environment where businesses compete on how much time is worked.

Were that the case, there'd be such an effect now. Businesses don't seem to be driving 9-hour days. Some lawyers, doctors, and others do work that much, I will grant you that. But they're clearly the exception because they also make good money, had to work hard to become accredited, and generally clearly chose that kind of lifestyle rather than being forced into it.

Sure, you could now claim 8 hours just happens to be the economic equilibrium. But then I invite you to reread this article.

In Visual Studio, a good built-in mechanism for that is T4 text templates.
Are there any LuaTeX users here? At the moment, I use XeTeX to generate software manuals. Technically, it all works and I'm able to import code samples directly from source into the manual using the listings package. I'm also able to abuse CMake to run certain test problems and import their output into the manual in order to keep documentation more up to date with the code. That said, it's a pain to maintain and it takes much, much longer to build than the actual software project itself (likely due to overuse of listings.) I'm curious if using LuaTeX would make producing complicated documents easier than pdflatex or XeTeX.

If a station signal goes weak, the radio could scan the FM stations for another station which is known to broadcast the same signal (according to, say, an internal cross-matching database, or some other means).
Excellent answers already. It also involves some time problem solving on the craft at large. Take some time reading the words of people who have innovated in the field and argued with their peers. See if you can work out where the champions of OOP pushed our understanding and where they failed. See if you can understand the functional programmers have created beauty out of chaos, and where they've drunk a little too much Kool-Ade. Once you've understood, write a few example programs in those styles and languages.

In understanding the radical designs and patterns that great coders have used and argued about, you'll see you own code style change, even unconsciously.

I remember listening to Daniel Hannan throwing this number of the number of Germans it takes to work as many hours as an American. Maybe they're just more productive ;).

"In the short term, what's not to like? But there comes a point when you realize that you've been funding this on credit, that you've been depending on external assistance, and that your productivity has fallen further and further behind until you've got to the stage that we've now reached where it takes 4 Germans to work the same hours as 3 Americans. And that in the long term that is just not sustainable. Europe now that it's in a globalized economy competing against China and India and indeed North America, finds that it is shrinking precipitously. In the 1970s, in 1974, Europe accounted for 36%, or Western Europe, for 36% of World GDP. Today it's 25%, 10 years from now it will be 15%. That is an extraordinary decline, over a period when the US share of world GDP has remained pretty steady, round about 26%. So there was always going to be a reckoning and I'm afraid that reckoning has come now."
