In my case (also a dev) because my 2015 Fritz!Box wasn't coping in a dense WiFi area (I can see over 200 other APs from my apartment). I was also running in to issues while really pushing my network, I couldn't get much over 100Mbps in a multi-client environment. A single client-to-client test could go much higher, but I was running in to CPU load issues when using multiple clients, possibly related to NAT rewriting.

The main advantage is following the UNIX philosophy (albeit in a limited manner). The security gateway does NAT, VPN and firewalling, the APs do wireless and the switches switch packets. The CPUs can't get overloaded with other tasks.

I don't think I'm anything like an average user though. I have over 20 devices on my home network continually and 100Mbit fibre to my home - though with my new gear I could increase that to 800Mbit.
Looking at the map, outside the big cities, it seems mostly concentrated on highways. Does anyone know if it's realistic for a plane flying a mile high to grab, say, license plates and driver photos? Would this be legal? How close to the highway on the map would they have to be, hypothetically?
Totally true. Just about every reputable financial advisor says to drive used cars and run them 'till the wheels fall off.

Today's used cars are fantastically reliable, historically. (At least if you stick with 'Best Buy' recommendations.)
People have been spending billions on in app purchases in app stores for ages. I say it’s all scam, However, that’s the internet economy for you - the value is not in tangible stuff anymore.
Over typical HDMI distances, you don't really need an expensive transceiver. 100GbE can be done over direct attach cables that cost less than many current "premium" HDMI cables. Much of the cost beyond that is related to the MAC and host interface being able to do something interesting with the packets.

If anyone has questions, I'd be happy to answer.
Agree, totally. We're living in an automotive 'golden age', where reliability, safety and performance are at all-time highs.
My OpenBSD router (a VM running on ESXi) is probably the most satisfying piece of modern technology I have. A joy to configure, update (every 6 months), and does exactly what I need it to with zero problems.

Kerala, but we can’t deny there is a an equal not major blame in politics that slows down or completely stop industries from adopting automation.
Living in Kerala for 22 years of my life it is easier to see that politicians find it easy to create a spectacle by scapegoating industries.
Kerala fared well in terms of development, but we are highly dependent on foreign remittance which is heavily concentrated from Middle East. To curb the high unemployment rate (7.4 percent) there needs a new wave of industrialisation in the state.

If a name is unknown, the UI should tell me. Instead I get No and don’t know whether that is the actual result or I mistyped the name. Showing a list of names of accused people would be more helpful. This list could be filtered on keydown.
For higher-end home connections (100mbit - gigabit) those older "Wi-Fi aisle at Best Buy" type of routers may or may not be able to saturate the connection.

By separating the router and wireless APs you also get the ability to place multiple APs throughout your home for improved signal.

They aren't selling a code for the download, though. They are selling you physical movie that comes with code to enjoy a digital copy. It's a bundled service, and I'm not sure first sale allows resellers to strip that and sell for profit, any more than Wal-Mart could order blu-rays that come with a DVD, open them up, and sell both separately.

Or open up a PS4 with a code for a free game in it, and sell the game.
Your servers?

If you mean switching, you don't need a switch for simply connecting two computers. Presumably that was the use-case supported by "HDMI-as-network-layer".

If you watch around, you can get Mellanox Voltaire rack switches for $200 or less. QDR gear is "obsolete" and often surplused at very attractive prices. Everyone else has moved onto FDR or EDR speeds.

China’s Top Ideologue Calls for Tight Control of Internet
I worked in the HDD industry, doing signal processing for a few years. HDDs are pretty much magical. It's insane how delicate, yet robust it all is.

But to put things into perspective with some numbers, the write heads on a modern HDD use somewhere on the order of 50 mA of current. That may sound like a reasonable amount until you consider that the magnetic field [flux] is condensed down to a 60 x 20 nm area. It usually takes a little over 1 Tesla to flip the magnet.

I have been out of the Industry for a little bit now, but things are moving towards a magnetic substrate that has a smaller grain size (allowing smaller bits at a similar SNR) but a coercivity well over 3T at room temperature.
I agree with you. My grandma used to say, "children are as complicated as people, only more so."

But rules and obedience are an essential abstraction. With my own young kids, I try to let them challenge the rules and chart their own course as much as I can, but if you go with no rules at all I think you are almost as likely to end up with a bad result as if you parented through only rules and obedience.

When confronted (as all parents inevitably are from time to time) with blanket ideas for "how to raise children" I find it helpful to swap out "children" for "employees" and then "farm animals" and see how the advice sounds from those two additional perspectives.

Children are kind of a middle ground between those (as well as being many other things).

There's very little science to parenting, unfortunately. It's mostly intuition and magic.

It’s not that “no one else” could do their job, but there’s not an unlimited supply of people who can meet the hiring bar at Google/Facebook/Microsoft, and there are a number of employers with deep pockets trying to hire them. Google in particular is known to offer people with competing offers a lot of money to keep them from going to other companies.

Thoughts on “Net Neutrality” from Down Here in the Coal Mine
Again, why do you think that "academic sabbaticals" are any different? Academics work hard and get burned out, just like programmers. It's not a coincidence that professors take their first sabbatical not long after getting tenure.

A sabbatical is a break where you do something different with your life. If it's good for the mind of an academic, it's good for the mind of a programmer too. Having just taken a gap year myself, I recommend it to anyone. It should be more available.
Me too. Well, I finished the second episode and vowed not to give it a third chance unless someone I trusted put a lot of effort into convincing me. It seemed like they set out to parody Star Trek but instead they just made an inferior copy of it. In those two episodes I remember about five "ughs" and one laugh.
I also could care less about other parents.. But my daughter would not stop after 1 or 2 minutes. Even after 20. I tried it many times. Distractions mostly do not work neither as she was quite smart early enough :)

Not every single child is the same. Some need more powerful nudge towards behaving while others can sit in the carryon for 2 hours at movie theatre totally awake and not enjoying grown-up movie..
>Just say what you mean: you make your children obey you by physical means.

You say this like its inherently a bad thing. Do you think children are abused by their nervous system that keeps them from biting their tongue and chewing on their jaw by causing them pain when they do so? Does this process cause them mental trauma? If not then why do we act like using a proportional amount of physical means to instill correct behavior in young children is inherently a bad thing? This "enlightened" parenting movement has really jumped the shark.

I think it is the opposite. Millenials don't necessarily want the big company grind. They want something with less overhead that they can't control. They can create a startup, join one, or be a freelancer. This adds a more enjoyable work environment when going this path.
It's becoming a pretty boring source of conflict between the two characters. They should really move away from the dialog potshots/jokes they take at each other, as well as the reconciliation scenes.

Seth apparently had to work really hard to get his own The Next Generation show. They wouldn't give him Star Trek, so he had to go write his own. So it's likely to have been played safely.

I do hope they get a bit more serious in the second season. Army pranks in space won't last that long either, I don't think.
To enjoy, (I am fortunate enough to have build my side business and my FY money...)
HolyC is great -- default arguments and built-in exception handling are big pluses over C. There are a few shortcomings, though, such as the lack of short-circuiting logical operators and some unfortunate behavior related to variable declarations within nested scopes (just avoid doing that IMO).

Rachel Andrew has a great presentation on this that you can find on YouTube. But the summary of comparing them is this: flexbox is designed to help with 1-dimensional layout. It gets a bunch of elements to behave well when laid out in a row (and you can orient that row in all kinds of ways). Grid is designed for 2 dimensions, so rows and columns together. You can implement grids with Flexbox but it’s hacky. Whereas implementing grids with Grid, you will be working with the grain.

My favorite thing about grid is that using grid overrides floats, so you can have a kind-of-ok floated layout as a fallback on browsers that don’t support grid, and it’s very little work to do so.
I get where you're coming from, but my point was mostly that when a business develops a product, upfront engineering is often seen as somewhat of a sunk cost. The more important measure is the margin on the physical product. The cost of raw materials (and shipping, manufacturing, etc) is far easier to quantify.
they said they stopped when it stopped being fun, after their marvel series. Is there any clearer proof needed that Marvel is killing cinema?

This needs the caveat of “to American consumers”. The NHS seem to be heavily moving in that direction, and I suspect “cheaper” is no small part of that

To follow up: I use NameSilo as a registrar specifically because domains (and dns hosting) is all they do.

Separation of concerns, and no constant bullshit to navigate their admin tool and get to domain management when required.

They have DNS hosting too but I don't use it.
You say that, but it seems to me that one of the key factors in Stripe's early success was being developer-friendly in a way that no other card payment service was at the time. Part of that in turn was coming up with a good API and clean integrations at the JS level, and then documenting all of that so well that many other sites have since adopted the same presentation style for their own documentation pages.

Compare that with the obvious established competitor, PayPal, who have made a fortune from letting people collect money by putting a simple button on their site with just the slightest level of integration needed, but whose APIs and documentation have changed over time and yet remained consistently awful for developers wanting to do more substantial integrations to meet more demanding requirements.

Assuming you're not hurting for work, you want them to wince a little when they hear your rate.

Regular on site visits and full-time, local work? $1000/day minimum in the high cost of living area I'm in (Boston area). If they straight out walk at that, you dodged a bullet.

Bidding too high and losing the work is way, way better than bidding too low and getting it!

> Explaining all the rules is what school is for, basically.

And this is where so many people go wrong. Parents are teachers too, and it's their job to teach their children how to fit into society, behave, be decent people, etc.

A lot of rules, like math tables, help you learn the basic foundational building blocks. Once you have those, you have a reference to understand more things.

School is, basically, for most of the other stuff.
Brazilian here too, and this is total BS.

I've never seen anyone, even the most die-hard leftist (a species headed to extinction by the way) support Maduro policies. Only some leftist parties giving oficial statements of support, but even than with the majority of their members, not supporting it, and going against the official statements.

> The cinema screen is not a train. It's a movie.

Ooh, this is a good example!

When I watch a movie, I don't care if the camera was pointed at real events, or if it was CGI.

I care about the actual movie experience. It's the same either way.

When I have a telephone call with someone, I don't care if the microphone is pointed at flesh. I care about the conversation.

> What you seem to think is that "imitation in form" means being the same as. A photograph of me is imitation in the form of me, it isnt me. It doenst have a pulse.

Actually my thought process is not that at all. My goal is to create an identical photograph with my computer. Or more specifically, 60 of them per second, plus audio.

Do you think that's possible or impossible?

If it's possible, then I have something that claims to be real, that claims to feel, that responds as intelligently as a human in every way... That's good enough for a lot of people to call it conscious. It's definitely good enough to drive a car, or translate a book, or fill out a captcha, or do whatever "AGI" is supposed to do.

If it's not possible, then why? If everything is a purely physical process, can't a computer can use math to figure out where atoms would go, and where photons would bounce?
Do we have solid evidence (theoretical or otherwise) that space is not continuous.

My understanding is that the only fully accepted implication of the plank length is that it is the smallest measurable unit of length. Attempts to probe smaller regions result in black holes (do to the increasing energy necessary to probe small units of length; and the fact that energy is mass, and therefore exerts gravity).

"the US funds over 50% of R&D for the entire world"

Not sure exactly what numbers you're basing that on, but I believe a significant portion of that research (especially basic level stuff) is government funded, which is not a good argument for allowing pharma companies to keep prices high.
I currently have an Apple AirPort Time Capsule (latest 2 TB version with AC support), but I've been looking at Google Wifi. Honest question, why spend all the extra cash for Unifi gear? Google Wifi is mesh, and should all just work.

Yup, splitting the session into a series of requests is a good way for Django Channels to rig things up, especially since Django itself doesn't support async yet.

We even have a library that works similarly:

I have only worked for a large corporation for two out of the 21 years I've been working. I'll never do that again.

Benefits may be better at a larger company but salaries are about the same.

This case is exactly asking whether someone can “order blu-rays that come with a DVD, open them up, and sell both separately.” Intuitively first sale doctrine should imply you can: I can buy a bunch of packs of trading cards, open them up, then sell the cards individually. Likewise I should be able to buy a book, tear it apart and sell one chapter of it at a time. Or buy a gallon of flour and split it into 12-oz containers to sell. This question is the crux of the case, though, so it will be very interesting to see what legal arguments are offered, and what precedent applies.
They do well for themselves, don't they? Dictatorships are also quite stable for people living under them compared to the chaos right now in Libya, Syria, and Iraq. Policies of regime change without changing the basis of the economy just leads to power vacuums which leads to nothing good but bloodshed, and most often a dictator worse than before.

However, some defense contractors get good contracts through interventionism, and that keeps the US economy going, right?

I am not even sure they are learning much faster than the Japanese during their period of growth. Their progress definitely looks very Japan circa 1980’s to me.
Either way the massive debts in their financial system seem like a test of the limits of Keynesian and Monetarists theories. With their absolute control of money supply they can increase it at will to compensate for a decline in consumption. As far as I can see only inflation limits a government’s ability to print money. China isn’t quite at the same level as Japan, the US and Europe in terms of having crossed that weird post-inflation threshold where central banks literally print trillions and still fail to meet their inflation targets. It might turn into a Venezuela but the interesting things happen if it doesn’t. What happens to the economy when the government prints huge amounts of money but still fails to produce growth or inflation? What does that economy looks like? Moreover why doesn’t printing money cause inflation in the same way it did before?
Definitively got lucky. Some kids just don't listen, no matter how you talk to them.

No. Seriously, what would be said about myself if I started making huge sweeping generalizations about a gender? Its bad for males, and its bad for females. Primarily, any effect one "tries" to find is so close to 50% its useless.

Why do we rationalize with Children and punish teenagers? We must build trust with our children. Research has shown that this is the key, especially for children of abuse.

To me (Father of Five, two biological and three foster) this is 100% flipped upside down and isn't well researched nor universal.

My foster kids had horrible environment growing up and every kind of abuse. Their mother murdered 8 blocks from our house by a baseball bat to her head while the children were in my home. Children raised from abuse would actually be harmed by this.

Children need to learn 100% but not through non-developmentally appropriate techniques. Kids learn through play doing in a safe and purposeful manner. This is neither purposeful nor safe. They need to know that they must use gentle hands and bodies, be respectful to each other and pick up after themselves.

If it doesn't work for abused or special needs children it isn't universal. This is what good research looks like for parenting. https://child.tcu.edu/about-us/research/#sthash.6ctKjxoi.dpb...

1) We have children ask and not tell what they want

2) Parenting is hard and demanding and we invest in it

3) Kids will look at you when you are speaking with them (FOr building up relationship)

4) Redirect bad behavior by having the child redo in the correct behavior. Not yelling or demanding. Scripting

5) Socialize interaction with competent adult and ability to play properly with other children.

Usually with full-disk encryption, your supplied encryption passphrase is used to encrypt a single sector (or redundant set of sectors, spread across the disk) containing a much larger master key, which is in turn used to encrypt the rest of the sectors. When you change the disk password at the OS level, the master key remains the same (which is why you don't have to wait for the disk itself to re-encrypt); the single sector containing the key is just re-written to be encrypted with your new password.

Later, when you actually reformat the drive, you (or your OS) should spend some extra time writing over the sector(s) containing your encrypted FDE master key. But only those sector(s) need to be securely wiped. Even if someone can brute-force the password you used, they won't have that sector to use to turn it into a decryption key for the sectors; and they definitely won't be able to brute-force the FDE master key itself.

And, to make matters better, in systems with a TPM (most, these days), the TPM holds the FDE master key, and does the job of "shredding" it when it's no longer needed itself, as an async job kicked off by the OS along with the reformat. Also, in such systems, the FDE master key is never loaded into RAM, because the TPM itself does the sector-wise encryption/decryption as a DMA process.

Yeah well, I said the same thing about copyright extension and the DMCA... Disney doesn't lose these kinds of battles very often. They've paid a lot of politicians a lot of money to keep getting their way...
