Yeah... I tend to end up on "We're kind-of like a start-up inside of the Enterprise" teams which frequently fail to see the benefit of change control or release engineering, they're edit-on-production PHP cowboys or Java devs that are used to feeling like operations and integrating their code changes are someone else's problem, but who have no such support.

Teams that have (only fairly recently) discovered AWS lets them escape the snail's pace of getting something into production within Enterprise IT, their little walled garden that IT has siloed them into (for their own good). They just absolutely love Node + Lambda because servers are scary (they tend not to have CLI skills to even CD / LS around the VFS) and it lets them get things done -- which is all their superiors value.

Places where IT doesn't value time to market, and nobody values maintenance or costs (we regularly have products owned by failing to apply patches to products using OSS, we rack up AWS bills by leaving manually created test resources around for months or ramping up products like Lambda to the moon for a batch job then forgetting to turn it back down once it finishes).
No worries, I don't envy your prejudices and close mindedness, and I have no doubt that our world won't leave you much choice later on :)
Why wouldn't the dems just go along with the GOP and enact NN legislation? Why is Title II so important? This is what I mean by ideology getting in the way. If it wasn't about ideology, then the dems would be working with the GOP to get NN done.

Worth noting that the spec on this states the following:

> The heuristic used by this state is very crude (it just looks at the first character with a strong directionality, in a manner analogous to the Paragraph Level determination in the bidirectional algorithm). Authors are urged to only use this value as a last resort when the direction of the text is truly unknown and no better server-side heuristic can be applied.

which seems to be their justification for not having this be the default behaviour.
My son is now 4 years old, he has been showing a great deal of interest in playing with numbers and puzzles, so I have been thinking quite a bit about this lately.

The other day I ran across an issue of Scientific American from the late 70s (http://flowcytometry.sysbio.med.harvard.edu/files/flowcytome...) and I was super impressed by the quality and educational value of the content. Much superior to its current version. They have a ton of super interesting "mini" papers about all sorts of topics. In that issue alone I learned about:

- The metabolism of alcohol

- The meteorology of Jupiter

- Simpson's paradox

Take a look at it. I think you might be impressed too.

The other site I have fallen in love with recently is Fermat's Library (https://fermatslibrary.com). They essentially publish an annotated paper every week (usually physics, cs, math). Reading their papers is now a part of my weekly routine.
I know my post was very cynical. I agree open and free markets are very valuable and need to be protected. But in this case, anti-NN policies are so hugely unpopular, I can't see how anyone would think that they will be good for business as a whole.

I think it is comparable in function to Kogo's Joseki Dictionary, curated by Alexander Dinerchtein (3p). e.g: http://eidogo.com/

Just that it covers the entire fuseki rather than just a corner.

As you get deeper into a branch it doesn't provide many variations, nor it explains why a variation is better than another. Joseki dictionaries sometimes will tell you one move is a mistake and show you how to punish it.
The way the rules are written you have two choices. 1) Private ISP can potentially limit content or 2) the federal government can limit content. By requiring ISPs to get a broadcasting license in conjunction with the anti-propaganda act passed right before Obama left office, the Feds can call any website "propaganda" and order it blocked by the ISPs under the threat of pulling their broadcasting license.

This is a decent dummy introduction to what DAB is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_broadcasting

> DAB is more efficient in its use of spectrum than analogue FM radio, and thus may offer more radio services for the same given bandwidth. DAB is more robust with regard to noise and multipath fading for mobile listening,[3] since DAB reception quality first degrades rapidly when the signal strength falls below a critical threshold, whereas FM reception quality degrades slowly with the decreasing signal.

Recommendations for where to earn my comp sic degree online
Hello all

So in a nutshell, I'm looking to earn my comp sci degree due to both having an interest in it, and to remove this glass ceiling that my career seems to be hitting. I'm also employed full time, so going off to some university for four years in (insert town here) isn't an option that my wallet will support, and the local universities (U of T, Ryerson) aren't exactly flexible at all.

So I'm wondering if there's any online degree options for this degree at all that would be accredited, or aka not a diploma mill. I've done some calling around for schools in Canada with no luck so I'm pretty much assuming that I'll have to look outside the country, but figured the community might know of a reputable option....if one exists.
Could some archaeologist shed some light on this? I'm not arguing against the weapon theory, but... It was found near the Thames, it was made of wood, it didn't show any traces of blood or anything that would suggest a bone impact, it has the distinct shape of a paddle, it even has a pommel to prevent you from losing it when it's wet, but in the entire article I couldn't find a single reason why it couldn't be just a paddle - not that you couldn't use it as a weapon for the occasional weekend massacre...
This isn't a watershed - Stuxnet kind of was, but the people who didn't start to take it seriously after Stuxnet will still believe it won't happen to them after this case.
Also curious: why no other contenders, especially the Russians? Procurement politics is heavy stuff.

There is something important about the type of mutations that drive Huntington's.

Huntington's is caused by an expanded repeat composed of (CAG)n with n>40 repeats. Due to the instability of repeat regions, new mutations arise in this gene at a relatively high rate. So, even if there were strong selection against expanded repeats the disease would continue to exist. However, as mentioned by others here, strong selection is unlikely due to the late age of onset of the disease. So mutation continues to introduce the disease and selection has been too weak to remove it.

In contrast, BRCA mutations differ from the Huntington mutations. BRCA mutations are single "point" changes in the sequence, known as SNPs, that disrupt the protein function. Novel point mutations are exceptionally rare.

So, unlike with BRCA, when investigating why Huntinton's disease exists, one must consider BOTH mutation and selection.
Digital takes up less bandwidth per channel than FM. This allows the government to resell the frequency allocations. This is what happened with analog broadcast TV in the US.
The Berkeley Six-Word Essay Challenge
I live in Edinburgh, and I've personally counted half a dozen of these little, one or two person IBS type shops open up round town in the last couple of years. They have a small retail space at the front, an open workshop at the back, and the mechanic stops working on a bike to have a chat with you when you come in to the shop. Edinburgh's pretty bike friendly, so given the number of these shops springing up, they must have a viable business model here.
>1) No counterparty risk. Everyone can get hacked, but coinbase being hacked shouldn't every, under any circumstances result in me loosing any bitcoin they hold on my behalf.

Coinbase is insured by AON Insurance for their hot wallet balance. However, we won't know how Coinbase/AON will handle that until it happens.

I believe any fiat balance is also insured by the FDIC, but I'm less sure about that.

>2) The exchange can't go down, like at all.

Yep. Crypto trades 24/7. It's really surprising they don't have regular planned downtime to address this.

I don't disagree, I'm just pointing out that a lot of China's coal use is to power factories that export goods to the US. If China used anything other than the cheapest energy for their factories, you would be seeing "made in India/some other country more willing to pollute to save us a few cents" a lot more in Wal-Mart.

I've uninstalled Firefox and will be removing it from all of my computers. I had just started slowly migrating back to it with the performance enhancements in the latest update, but honestly I don't think I can get past a breach of trust at this level.
That's ridiculous, since FF is literally fetching and rendering that content, being its raison d'être.

It's a similar debate as when we north americans decided to switch to DTTV [1]. Many people disliked that; they had to buy a box for their old TV and it was more complicated to use, etc...

Digital radio [2] has it's advantages. For once, it's more efficient in it's use of the spectrum. In many densely populated towns, there is no (or not many) more spectrum left for new broadcasters.

It's a matter of time, and people will adapt and forget they "hated it and doesn't want to change".

I would be surprised if FT has more than, say, 10% of the features of org-mode. If you want to restrict yourself to the basics (e.g., the 10% that FT does) then org-mode is quite simple to use.

Of course, org-mode is in Emacs, and that will turn some people away. For others, the flexibility and power of Emacs may be the main draw. I myself am someone who migrated to Emacs from Vim, primarily because of org-mode, and I now use the Evil vim emulator, which makes things quite good.
> Looks like it's a promo for Mr Robot, which is really not ok.

From what I've heard (I work for Mozilla), this is promo for Firefox. As I just wrote elsewhere in this thread: I believe the idea is that Mr. Robot fans use Firefox to participate in the ARG, not that Firefox users suddenly start watching Mr. Robot. So if anything I'd expect that Mozilla pays Mr. Robot for this.
Big networked multiplayer games have people distributing lots of data to each other: device controls, ship maneuvers, text and voice comms, other such. Servers and bandwidth become huge issues and AWS is the most advanced and scalable platform for all that right now.
Yes, but presumably only you would know the bias of the dice and would exploit it by preferentially building next to higher numbered spaces.
Quite a few of the shops in my area are stocking them but they all seem to be holding their nose when they talk about them.
People hate change.
Most of the comments here aren't about Bitcoin being in a bubble and falling, they're about Coinbase and varying aspects of their growing pains (security, scalability, lack of insurance and so forth).

Maybe becoming very, very comfortably retired as a bazillionaire has a deleterious effect on reading and attention.
> JSON is still the only secure transportation protocol

Ummm, canonical s-expressions[0] and ASN.1's various encoding rules[1] beg to differ.

The one thing JSON has that canonical s-expressions don't is maps/hash tables/dicts, but after working with both for quite awhile I've come to the conclusion that maps in the core transport language are actually a mistake.

> Digital takes up less bandwidth per channel than FM. This allows the government to resell the frequency allocations. This is what happened with analog broadcast TV in the US.

I'd be all for it if it meant more of the spectrum went for unlicensed use like 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Anyone know what happened to the white space thing? Sounds like a really good thing.
...because we have documents (e.g. the Federalist Papers [1]) that explain their philosophy and arguments. Moreover, significant technological advances aside, our basic psychology / neurobiology remains virtually unchanged, and so many of their initial insights into mitigating the risks of human political systems still pertain.

For instance: they foresaw the problems powerful interests acting in bad faith could cause, and so we now enjoy judicial recourse when politicians or appointees make arbitrary, capricious, or corrupt decisions. The fact that we're discussing legal challenges to the FCC's decision as even a possibility underscores this point.

We understand more about human psychology / neurobiology now, of course, so this is one limitation of uncritically accepting their advice. We also have the benefit of over two centuries of additional hindsight. Still, I think there is good reason to at least consider the opinions of people who would, by any reasonable reckoning, count as political systems design experts of their time.

It's interesting the negativity I read about Coinbase in this thread. Makes me wonder if those who do complain tried other exchanges? I've tried Kraken (down much more often), Bittrex (worst trading UI ever), CAvirtex (they are shutdown) ... Coinbase/ GDAX I have had a much better experience. If you want a fast money wire, pay the price for same day processing (30$), I always do and it usually takes a 2 hours.
This is driven by a desire to cut costs; operating a DAB network is orders of magnitude cheaper than FM.

The station in question ceased broadcasting at midnight, by the way, after having been threatened with stiff fines.

NRK (PBS/CBC equivalent) has lost 1/5 of its listeners after the transition to DAB. Tough luck.
> A bike shop could probably do it in an hour. It took me five or six hours.

Yes but then you miss out on an almost "bonding" experience with the machine and feeling of intimately understanding it. That's why I do most of my own car repair, even though it takes me longer than a shop would take.

Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance about the "Romantic" vs. "Classical" approach to such things.
yaml has different "standards" depending which parser you ask and it is dead strict on whitespace (some parsers dont like tabs at all, and heaven forbid mixing spaces and tabs in one file).

JSON doesnt care as long as it's valid, and there are parsers for every language and environment.
I remember this prompt (sending Mozilla crash/performance data) and disabled it a long time ago, and I don't have the add-on currently.

Often these days I disable every "Help us with information" box, both on close/commercial software and even open source software. I mean I'd like the help the community, but I really no longer like submitting any type of tracking information or even debugging information. Everyone is already clamoring for my data, and I guess it's more of a mentality of I don't want to give it away for free. They already get so much for free.

I'll still file a bug report on bugzillas and compile stack traces on faults. But I want to do it myself, explicitly.
I think most of you don't realise at what scale Coinbase work.
You just have to watch the trade history on GDAX for a few seconds to understand the sheer volume of what is actually happening. The GDAX web socket is very very robust. It's very rarely down for me, and have not been down at all since they did whatever upgrade/maintenance they had to a few days ago.
> Does that help clear up the confusion?

No, it adds.

> So in this case Goldman is relevant as they do the same function that coinbase does with respect to holding securities on behalf of a client.

Then why did you write in your other message that Goldman Sachs has got nothing to do with this discussion? It seems to me that you are confused. Please decide whether you think the Goldman Sachs is relevant or not before proceeding.
If they state as an explicit principle that no addons/studies are actually enabled unless the user opted in, then I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt that if that happened to users that did not opt in, it was a terrible mistake (I.e a bug).

I can tolerate bugs, much more than I can tolerate sneaky app behavior. But I hope the statement about explicit opt-in will be repeated, and this will be explained.

At first I thought it must have been users that explicitly had opted in, but with so many users claiming they haven’t, it seems unlikely.

The next possibility is that preview versions have things opt-out instead of opt in (because in preview versions you need more data from users - typical for closed alphas etc) - but then this should be very clearly explained on download/install.

Why should the "previews of potential new features" in the form of the extensions be hidden from the user, and even if the user "unhides" them be automatically hidden again?
Is the lag inherent to the protocol, or just a matter of poor receiver implementation?
I'm in a similar boat. I met my wife on a website with a mutual game interest, and we started chatting on AIM. Come to find out she's not too far from where I lived and I started visiting her once a month. Now we're married.
People will still remember when they were able to get more OTA channels, because analog signals degrade when weak instead of being non-decodeable.

> The really cool thing, though, about multiple Raspberry Pis is that the systems really are running in parallel, rather than faking it with multitasking.

Imho, multitasking is a much cooler feat than parallelism by mere duplication of the CPU. It requires much more engineering effort, e.g. in areas of memory coherence and such. Also, a modern desktop CPU will be an order of magnitude faster than the RPi, so you'll need a lot of them to match performance.

1) Wallstreet is pretty corrupt, so getting them to help you with trust issues is odd to me. I get that Wallstreet has "legitimacy credentials", so that you will get more old money and institutions investing in you if they saw it's safe.

I completely disagree with that. Wallstreet and big banks have lost trillions of dollars investing in "Safe" stuff before.

2) Coinbase needs to make sure they deliver what they say they can deliver. No hacking. No delivery issues. Minor to none technical issues.

That's how you build trust long term. Honestly, Wallstreet won't matter if your goal is to be around in 10 or 20 years.

3) This brings me to my last point, if you really are trying to do this thing long term, why would even care about Wallstreet? Asking them for help just screams to me, "We want to make a shit ton of money right now before everything falls apart"

I am seriously worried about the large exchanges ability to handle the amount and size of the transactions. Especially the growth.
That story doesn't sound realistic at all. A bunch of homeowners setting up mosquito traps, however effective, around their homes, would not have much of an effect on the mosquito population of a rural area. And then birds would forage on a much larger area than just around a single lake with 12 houses.

Just think about it: 12 homeowners around a single lake fight mosquitoes so effectively that even eagles disappear from the area?
