> There is a variety of CPUs.

There certainly are, but generally they are the same within the same "class" (ie t2, c5, etc). Example:

- C5: 3.0Ghz custom Xeon processors.
- C4: Xeon E5-2666 v3
- C3: Xeon E5-2680 v2
- X1/X1e: Xeon E7-8880 v3
- R4: Xeon E5-2686 v4
- R3: Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2

Etc. The only exception I'm aware of are the burstable instances; AWS's documentation doesn't explicitly guarantee a CPU bin there, it just says "high frequency Xeon".

The difference between an m5.large and an m5.xlarge isn't that you're getting a "faster" processor (meaning higher gigahertz or newer architecture). You're just getting "more" of the same processor (more cores). This is different than on, say, GCP, where you just ask for cores and you can specify if you specifically want a broader generation of Xeon (like Broadwell), but you can't be guaranteed specific chips.

My intention behind saying that most applications can't switch instance tiers is more to point out that most applications aren't prepared to handle node failure, not that there is something intrinsic to the node types which stops them from being able to switch (that'd be much more rare).
I already told you, go use React, Redux and Redux-saga, Elm the framework makes little sense on JavaScript where you cannot enforce many of the constraints the framework is designed around and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by forcing it in.

In Elm you don't have exceptions, so the framework does not accomodate for them like, say, React does.

It's also a pure language, so the separation of main state mutation and other side-effects without Elm the language is nothing more than convention, so you're not doing any better than Redux+Redux saga on that point.

I'd suggest you try out Elm in a small project and see for yourself why it makes no sense to try to make it fit in the context of JavaScript.
Yeah, I think there's more similarity than just the chord progression. Part of it is the vocal timbre. Lana Del Rey's relaxed, under-enunciated consonants is similar to the vocal style in grunge when Creep came out. But she does that in almost all her songs.

The chorus is completely different, and so is the instrumentation and musical style. It is a close call whether I'd call that plagiarism.

You are answering your own question. Suppose someone would invest billions in obtaining a mining rig that single handedly achieves 51% of the mining power of the network, then he effectively kills that network, and makes his investment worthless.

There's a reason the valuations of Bitcoin and Ether waiver every time it seems a pool is coming close to 51% mining power, it's because everyone is scared of what happens when that happens.

In the real world, I think miners approaching 51% of mining power is an accidental and temporary thing. It means that the coin is overvalued, and investors are over investing in mining operations. As the article states, the amount of profit these operations turn really isn't that big. They're operating on thin margins, and operations going bankrupt is not unheard of.

There's simply no reason to go and "own" the network. Best case, you'll turn a loss, worst case, you destroy the network and lose your entire investment.
We sat next to a water tank on the side opposite of Honolulu. No other options. A year ago if we had gotten the same alert it would have just been wtf instead of terror. Hacker angle: we need different levels of emergency alerts. People turn them off because they don't want yet another irrelevant flood warning for some place 20 miles from them or an Amber alert at 3 am. In this particular case the lucky ones had them turned off. 38 minutes to send out correction. Just sayin

Everyone is talking about nukes... I doubt nk has a compact nuclear warhead that can fit on a ballistic missile. Maybe in another 5-10 years, but not right now.

They most likely have chemical and biological weapons, as confirmed by the nk soldier that defected and had anthrax antibodies in his blood.
Jobber (alternative to cron) 1.3 preview released
Ok, let's debunk this crackpottery.

> The threat was real, the missile was shot down

If NK had launched something, multiple countries would have detected the launch, acted against the launch, and let everyone else know about the launch.

If NK had launched something, it would have been picked up by NORAD or similar, and the order to alert everyone would have flowed downwards from there, which means that all the alert systems on Hawaii would have gone off, and we would have seen a substantial military response. This didn't happen, only a single system broadcast the alarm.

> The EAS was hacked to provoke reaction from Trump [..] onsidering how many people could have died if we had retaliated

The EAS is not a launch detection system. Hawaii State EMA is not a launch detection agency. In the case of actual launch, actual launch detection agencies would know first, and then tell Hawaii State EMA to trigger all the alarms. The information doesn't normally flow the other way around.

As the information that an alarm was going off in Hawaii, everyone above in the normal notification chain would question it and ask why the fuck the alarm was going off, since they would know they didn't order it.

If you think the US would start nuclear retaliation without confirmation of actual launch, you're an idiot.

> The EAS was commandeered by a disgruntled employee

Possible. It's directly contradicted by the official statement, though.

> The monitoring system used to look for incoming threats malfunctioned

If actual launch detection systems had picked up a launch, then you would have information flowing out of NORAD, ordering all emergency alert systems to go off, sirens, EAS, tv, radio, the works. You would also have a military response, and you would have procedures for informing political leadership, including the president. None of this happened. A single alarm system in Hawaii went off.

> In an attempt to distract the MSM from some policy he is currently pursuing, Trump ordered the "fake" threat.

How the fuck would the federal president be able to order a state civilian agency to execute and cover up such an idiotic plan, without it leaking, and without anyone questioning?

> The mistake was exactly that; a mistake

And this is the only sane guess in this wall of idiocy.
> Any vote is subject to 51% attacks...

Isn't the entire point of voting in the first place to determine what >= 51% of the voting population desires?

Calling a system working exactly as intended an attack seems a bit...odd.
> Blackwallet was just like a personal safe, which has no KYC obligations

If I open a service which advertises personal safes held on my property that hold other peoples’ cash, I have a KYC obligation. If Blackwallet simply made available open-source wallet code, you might be correct. As I understand it, people logged into Blackwallet through Blackwallet’s website on Blackwallet’s domain to view and mainipulate their wallets’ contents.

> you think the government shouldn't investigate

If some files a report with the police and sends that to their Attorney General, and then the government doesn’t follow up, I would say that is wrong. (It would be comically stupid to file a report about stolen property you evaded taxes on.)

None of them do, sorry if I was being too casual. The reason I named YAML because in YAML you can just write

name: bob

where bob is assumed to be a string by the YAML parser. This is bad if you use Ansible because "bob" could be the name of a variable.

bob: "I am bob"
name: bob
# at runtime Ansible sees 'name: "I am bob"'

But both JSON and TOML need the users to be more explicit. So while users still need to be mindful of "1" vs 1, JSON and TOML don't assume as much as YAML does.

Let me show you in Python.

import toml
import yaml

s1 = "name: bob"

yaml.load(s1)
--> {'name': 'bob'}

s2 = "name = bob"
toml.loads(s2)

Traceback (most recent call last):
....
File ".../python2.7/site-packages/toml.py", line 664, in _load_value
v = int(v)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'bob'

s3 = "name = bob eve"
toml.loads(s3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
raise TomlDecodeError("This float doesn't have a leading digit")

See how a space and without space yield a different exception different? Not sure if it's an implementation problem, or the spec says so though. But the point is TOML doesn't assume "bob" without a quote is a string, which is a good thing.

>>"The issue of overproduction is a common crisis in Capitalism where more goods are produced than there are customers to consume them.

Seems like a correct observation, pointed out by the article. I had not given it a thought before.

But, by the same token, isn't setting up this type of 'smart city' with human-less services, also a significant investment, and also can be overdone. What will happens when this type of infrastructure is overdone ?

I personally think, that 'de-urbanization' with increased mobility across cities, 80%+ telecommute work force, and a 4 day work week, is the answer to many of today's issues in developed and yet-to-be-developed economies (still corruption, political militarization of law enforcement -- are huge issues that must be addressed).
As DAI gains trading volume and gets listed on more exchanges you'll likely see it stabilize. Any active trader who believes the price pressures will work has incentive to buy DAI when it is below 1 USD and sell DAI when it is over 1 USD as this is a low-risk trade (opportunity cost only). Right now, there isn't much volume so it is pretty easy for someone to come in and want a bunch of DAI or to liquidate a bunch of DAI and cause the market to shift suddenly. It will then take a few minutes for the market to correct, and with per-transaction fees the market is hesitant to correct small errors due to the lack of volume.

TL;DR: The more volume DAI has on public exchanges, the tighter it will hold its peg.
Everyone knows Bitcoin, ETH, and LTC which are all easily purchasable via Coinbase. But the general public is still lacking exposure to projects such as EOS, XLM (YC backed), REQ (YC backed), VEN, and many others.

Not only are they lacking exposure but it's a complicated, risky, error-prone process to actually buy in to these projects/tokens even for those who are technically apt. That's how early these projects are. Plus you'd need to register for an account on an exchange that actually carries these tokens and many are not accepting new users because they can't handle the load. It's a giant pain in the ass but there is a lot of money to be made (I'm up 3-5x already on much of my initial investments).

There is an artificial lack of access built into the market because of what I described above. Institutional capital and dumb money is still only really tuned into BTC/ETH.

Eh, I wouldn't quite call it an index. While I agree that it isn't _actually_ 1USD (or whatever it is pegged to), it is backed by other assets (in the case of DAI today, it is backed by ETH) and the system is setup such that there should always be more ETH backing the DAI than necessary to make everyone whole.

This is essentially a diagnostic command, not really a fix ;)

For me, when gpg-agent gets "stuck", this command just fails. I forgot the exact message but it tells me that it can't find the device. `gpg-connect-agent KILLAGENT /bye` and then `gpg --card-status` (will automatically start a new gpg-agent daemon in the background) does the trick for me, but it's the first command that matters.

(Could be just `killall gpg-agent`, I guess)

Oh, I think on Windows, once I had to restart the Smartcards service, as restarting the agent haven't helped. Don't know what it was - I've experimented with OpenSC around that time so could be just about anything.
I'm not sure what not being endorsed means in this context, but I distinctly remember Microsoft going to considerable work back in the days of Windows 2000 to support per-user installations.

The big change was in the registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT was no longer a direct shortcut to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes, but instead was a dynamically merged view of that key and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes.

This allowed you to register COM objects for the current user without requiring administrative privileges.

I and many other people were doing per-user installs long before Chrome existed.

This is especially useful for apps that auto-update. If you install in Program Files [(x86)] then you will pop a UAC prompt every time the app updates. If you install per-user it can be a silent update.

That it is normal doesn't mean it's not pedestrian hostile. I catch myself cycling over-aggressively. For example, everyone knows that pedestrians have right of way on a zebra-crossing. Good luck with that in The Netherlands. Cyclists will simply not give you right of way, they'll swerve around you, ignore you, and generally make you uncomfortable.

The Netherlands is a cyclists country in much the same way as the U.S. is car country, pedestrians are second class.

Setting the `swappiness` value might be of use to you.

Setting a lower value (min is 0, default is 60 iirc, max is 100, so above half) reduces the likelihood of the kernel swapping. The lower the number the fuller ram needs to be before the kernel will start swapping. Hence a low number will mean that less swapping will happen, hence meaning less SSD wear.

They actually introduced a shared space at Amsterdam Central Station about 1-2 years ago that I cross daily. The shared space is right next to the incredibly busy ferries and perpendicular to what used to be a bicycle lane. It's now one big square shared by bicycles, pedestrians and scooters.

It does work incredibly well and there are rarely any accidents. The downside however is that it's quite a struggle to cross. It makes me dread to leave the ferry and enter the warzone once again every morning. I understand that it is designed to make me uncomfortable, but it is taken to such an extend that I don't even really want to walk there.

By that same token, they're not other miners' friends, either. I own three 1070s and a 1060 which I purchased primarily for mining[0] but also because other things I do benefit from the added compute capability. I purchased the first 1070 for less than $350 right after release. I can't find them for less than $400, now.

The funny thing about that is I'm funding my other needs for graphics cards[1] by mining. I wouldn't say I've "paid" $400 for any of them past the first one since all of the others have been funded with mining profits. And I probably wouldn't own three graphics cards were it not for mining.

At some point, I firmly believe, the bubble will pop on all of this and those cards will come back down to earth (I've been saying this for over 4 years, though, and have been wrong for at least that long). Until then, mining to buy video cards is always an option. :)

[0] Mining is kind of a secondary reason. The primary reason is that I wanted to learn CUDA and I know myself well enough to know that if I don't have a project in mind, I will never take the time to learn it, so I set about optimizing an existing CUDA mining implementation and set about learning it successfully.

[1] I play computer games pretty rarely, but I like to fuss around with modeling programs and having a few of these really speeds up rendering in programs that support IRAY. I'm using it for playing with ML code, as well, which wasn't enough of a project to get me interested in learning CUDA, but is enough to keep me interested now that I know the language a bit.
