So covert racism is okay? But open support is not?

The point is, the (white) "liberal" left has been sitting on it's hands, head in the sand, believing there has been sufficient progress. They did well to sell that (lie).

Now Trump shows up and suddening all hell is breaking lose? Nah. It's been there all along; swept under the rug. So rather than admit "yeah we underestimated the lack of progress" Trump & Co get the blame. This is fake history and it conpletely ignores real history.

Note: I'm not a Trump supporter. He's not my type of leadership. But we can't solve the right problems the right way if we are in complete denial about the root of those problems. The left's just-blame-Trump strategy is a great distraction. It's also, ultimately, a another step in the wrong direction.

> The Russian state-run banks are effectively Putin’s tools.

Just like anything Russian is "Putin's tool"? Please, at this point it feels like Putin is not just another human but rather some TVtrope bad guy living in a secret bunker under a volcano, scheming how to single-handedly destroy the world because that's what bad guys do.

It's weird how this is labeled across different publications, the business insider article states "Commercial interests and state interest 'go hand in hand' for Russia" like that's a bad thing and Russia is the only country acting like that.

In the end, money got invested in a sector that was deemed very profitable at that time, I have no doubts US institutional investors, and private billionaires, have done the same. Yet nobody questions their influence on Twitter/Facebook, it's only an issue when Russians do it?

Because if "investing for influence" is really the new breaking point, then I think there'd be a ton of more interesting "investments", by US politicians, to "defense contractors" and similar questionable companies.
Hosting is cheap depending on what you do.

I guess if you wrote a simple PHP webapp on a shared hoster you could get under 10$/m and up to 100k Users per month easily (about 2 users per minute) and 10$/y for the domain. (Probably still under 10$/m total)

I guess a lot of people don't think they can actually host it themselves and it requires some technical skill (you don't find everything as a precooked SaaS on the internet)

Shorting, puncture and overcharge cause lipo fires. Expansion can lead to puncture and shorting in stupid thin enclosures, this is in an inch thick unsealed enclosure with lots of give which even pops off with little force, containing a battery which has swollen around 1-2% of it's original volume.

Function overloading in C
Came here to say something similar, except s/elastic search/solr/. I like redis, and use it for various things, but autocomplete is something I'd rather use a different tech to achieve.

That all said, the comments above on redisearch and and lexicographic ranges are worth having a look at. If you already have redis in your stack and can't/don't want to add another tech and you don't need anything particularly advanced, that could be a better option than grabbing a lucene backed sledgehammer.

As the author has made a strong argument that the equity shares are in fact worthless, the caveat is not much of one.

To be precise, it is not the debt-to-equity swap that the author is comparing to a Ponzi scheme, but the part where it is suggested they get their money back by selling on to a second round of 'investors' - but pedantic arguments over what to call it can only distract from the central issue of fraud.
We booked through Google Flights, which only pointed out that checked luggage may incur extra fees. We only spotted the difference on the return flight when we actually went to Lufthansa's site to check that everything was in order.

Both flights were shown as "economy" on Google Flights.
So I'm not supposed to read license agreements because the companies should do it for me? I get the aspect of not filling out customer surveys (never do it either) but the rest isn't really work the company could do for me.
The flight reservation has changed if you're a no show for the first flight. They want a change fee. So if you don't give them a change fee, they basically apply a punitive "ok fine the whole ticket is cancelled and we keep your money".

I think it's theft also.

For people from NL I can recommend Arnoud Engelfriet's blog (a Dutch lawyer specialised in IT law) [1] and its search feature.

An ontopic example discussing whether an employer is allowed to see private files in a business OneDrive account is discussed [2]. There are many more examples, but the blog is in Dutch and generally applies to Dutch law, so YMMV. I'm curious if similar websites or platforms exist for other jurisdictions.

> I think it was more that forks just get ignored

They call out a number of forks that do quite nicely. I work for Pivotal, which sponsors Greenplum. Companies pay handsomely for the capabilities it brings to the table.

But they are right that rebasing is a nightmare. My understanding (possibly wrong) is that the broad selection of APIs that make an extension-only approach did not appear in PostgreSQL until more recent versions -- anyone who forked earlier (such as Greenplum) have to first catch up and then migrate.

I do know that the Greenplum team have decided to catch up until they are working against mainline. It is, as you might imagine, a slow process: rebasing millions of lines of code a release at a time is not the easiest task on earth. But maintaining a fork will, in the long run, be harder.

Really? Even if you haven't selected the line? Because if you haven't selected the line then you'll have to use your mouse first or do the home + shift + end + Ctrl + X to delete the line.

I remember Ctrl + D does this (without needing to select the line) in Eclipse. But it's still faster to type dd than Ctrl + D

Euhm, which religion was dominant in the Byzantine Empire ?

This illustrates what happened though: large (and I do mean LARGE) parts of the West had seriously damaged and/or eradicated science. But ... that wasn't the last part. And the remaining part did believe in science. That wouldn't have mattered at all if the knowledge was in only one location ... but because of the copying, it did matter. Only small parts of the knowledge were totally lost, even if they did disappear almost from all of western europe for quite a while.

Oh, and to make matters even worse ... what was the dominant religion in Toledo in 1085 ? Not the rulers' religion ... the religion of the population ... (despite the constant muslim massacres I might add)

If you have a HA DB cluster with predictable usage pattern (most fall into that category), it should be cheaper to run it yourself (with the employees needed for it) than using RDS for most sizes. That doesn't mean having your own data centre but renting some dedicated servers somewhere.

The additional work after setting it up isn't that much more than for the cloud where you still have to monitor uptime and load.

Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh hmmmm.

I have very mixed feelings about that. I have some serious experience there; I moderate a subreddit dedicated to audio hardware in which people often ask for and receive purchasing advice.

So on the plus side, you have some fairly knowledgeable people offering advice.

However, even your average "enthusiast" is pretty lacking. No enthusiast has experience with enough relevant speakers to really give informed recommendations. There are thousands of speakers on the market. I've used... dozens? And owned... half a dozen? I mean, nobody has direct experience with even one percent of what's on the market. We try to supplement that direct experience by staying on top of reviews and things, so we have a sense for what's popular and seems to have garnered a lot of happy owners, but it's still very conjectural.

And speakers are a product category where it is somewhat possible to own multiple products, and there is a semblance of objective measurement possible. So we have it easy.

What if you want to buy a fridge? Or silverware? Or socks? Or blankets? There probably aren't fridge enthusiasts and if there are, it's doubtful they own many fridges each. So, you wind up with users just giving anecdotal stories, tainted with heavy doses of confirmation bias, because of course people want to like the fridge they spent their cash on.

Or, worse, you get the opposite effect: brands that sell lots of volume will appear to have the highest failure rate, even if their failure rate is low. If you knew nothing about cars, or the sales volumes for various brands, combing the internets would give the impression that Corollas fail much more often than Lamborghinis. Because tales of mechanical problems for Corollas probably outnumber those for Lambos by a factor of 1,000:1. (My wife owns a Corolla! It's had a problem or two) Which would seem really damning if you didn't know that Corollas outsell Lambos probably 100,000:1 and in reality are probably an order of magnitude more reliable.

You get this effect with Apple products: any Apple-related forum has countless horror stories of failures from Apple owners. But, Apple products are actually generally reliable compared to the competition. It just so happens that they're the Corolla in this analogy, not the Lambo.
Then they should release the same CPU without the ME. Like they do for overclocking purposes. Leave it to the consumers to choose.

It's not the buying hardware thing that's important:

> conceptually stuck in the pre-UNIX, lone desktop Windows/MS-DOS

It's about understanding that quality matters, that UX is a thing, that design is more than just a theme, that machines are networked to varying degrees and frequency, with varying performance profiles, form factors and interaction models, and that this field is different from fordist industrial endeavours and you'd better read the Mythical Man Month if you want to have any chance at a viable let alone competitive RTT instead of treating your coding engineers as crappy brick layers.

That's not necessarily correct. Depending on the time of day and your ISP, P2P video can be much more reliable than Netflix. Esp because you usually control quality. With Netflix, it can happen that the client decides to force you on a low resolution because they think the connection is slow. That creates quality issues you don't get with P2P.
And often we have functions which are only defined in an open neighborhood of zero, yet we still call them functions.

That the set theoretic definition of "function" as a functional relation between sets is rarely useful isn't really so surprising that you need to emphasize that you use a more reasonable notion of function all the time.

And the integral transform notation is frequently changed, but only ever locally and in different ways by different authors. Pick up two books on "Fourier transforms for engineers" and I promise you that you will find different notations for the same thing and probably even different notations within the same book. And none of them will be good.

Great analysis.

I would love to see some of this normalized to other variables like income, education, occupation, etc. That way you could get at any bias without any doubt cast by other factors.
How to Run a Better Engineering Organization
Companys have no need to get into employee home. And employees should not give access to a camera inside their home. Its impossible to know who has access to that camera.
The companies can set up an remote environment(remote pc) that employee must connect to in order to work. And that PC the company can connect to and monitor whats being worked on.

If the company can connect to the user computer and install software there, that means the user just opened up his computer to the company. And, if the company software happens to be "buggy" (to say the least) it could mean that company has teorically hacked the employee computer and now has access to every single file on that machine and if it wants it can try to connect to other machines on the same network. If the company software malfunctions, it could delete all the user files or share with others in the internet.

Having said that, its probably important to separate.
As a last resource if the company really want to monitor the employee, use 1 internet for company (with 1 computer only for work related) and 1 internet for home usage (and home computers).

> This long article requires in-depth knowledge of a large number of microcontrollers, and the time, desire, and ability to verify, collate, and summarize all that information.

So, Google needs to train its AI to recognize this instead of relying on PageRank.

We still need page rank to measure authority, though. Otherwise other AIs will soon mass produce content which looks like it "requires in-depth knowledge of a large number of microcontrollers, and the time, desire, and ability to verify, collate, and summarize all that information" but is actually nonsense. Alternatively, we trick spam producer into doing valuable work.
I would advise the opposite than most: Focus on one thing at a time, if that requires a lot of effort. Multitasking is not as good as it has been marketed to us.

For instance, I was studying for an IT certification, while at the same time reading books and working on a side project.. guess how much time went by without me accomplishing it (although I advanced some on the other 2), but my main focus was the cert. Anyways I ditched all the other disctracting things, focused and put all my effor only on the cert and I got it in two weeks.

Also, focus on stuff that you will use and/or try to apply what you learn, and make PRIORITIES of what you want at the moment, so you can choose the correct thing to focus right now.
The lesson is more "smart titles are fun but use a boring descriptive one if you want people to find you"

Sad since it turns everything into tasteless unoriginal yogurt. But true.
It misses a few things, noting the time taken to reach zero portion you'll notice the large spike at the beginning, the machines are intentionally generous at the start to hook the player.

That said, the odds are actually fixed and the payout % are required to be displayed on the machines by (UK) law.

Normal pay to play arcade videogames that are't as regulated, and have no age limits also have the same difficulty spike mechanics I'm almost sure, f2p games with micro-transactions definitely have this mechanic.
I was lucky. I remember being 18 years old and putting the money for my bus ticket home into a slot machine because "it had to pay out this time". I lost and had a 5 mile walk home. I have avoided the machines ever since. Meeting a programmer of these devices some years ago and him explaining a lot of what they did re-enforced my view to stay away from them.
This is a bit of a straw man. You don't need surveillance technology for this.

If a worker is expected to make 10 pieces of an item per hour its easy for managers to verify this. For a knowledge or creative worker it's similarly easy to verify expected performance.

This is not new, workers have been measured for performance everywhere since manufacturing and corporate jobs began.

If we ignore that for a moment, the point you are making applies to management too, yet this tech is guaranteed to not be used for management where things and outcomes are left 'more fuzzy'. Why?

How about we apply it to governance with complete transparency to the electorate. Nope, not going to happen. Because its exploitative and intrusive and will only be applied to the powerless lowest who have no choice.

Strongly disagree.

Hand-waving the initial setup period away hides a substantial footer cost (it is quite hard to learn how to safely, properly install a large database stack, especially if you're unfamiliar with it), and a substantial ongoing cost (updates etc.) that is often eliminated or ameliorated with cloud-hosted options.

And the additional work after setting it up is much greater. You have to monitor uptime/load/etc. regardless, sure, but when running your own hardware you also need to monitor uptime and load of other things as well: internet connectivity to your servers, electrical power, human access to servers/physical security and so on. Especially for a small site, those are quite expensive; their cost decreases a bit when you're running or leasing a lot of hardware, but it's still quite high.
