The problem with just using something like Lambda on a VPC (so you can use a traditional firewall to protect your MySQL server) is that the cold start times are 10-15 seconds, to get your local network interface and connect to the server.

You're suggesting that from the time a user makes a request to the function, the function should load up, and then create a client VPN connection to the database server, and then create a Database connection? Pretty sure that'd end up pushing towards the same cold start time. Also, no managed database provider is going to offer a VPN connection to it, so you're now definitely maintaining your own database server, when part of the point of getting into serverless is to not worry about servers.

No. 90% of the miners will leave, causing the 10% that stay to see a 10x increase in revenue.

There will be some short term effects as you describe until the difficulty adjusts.
Thanks.

Just to clarify whilst I have your attention: isn't it a common practice to pipeline frame buffers too? For instance, Android has three frame buffers. IIRC, one is with the user space handing off display lists, one used for composition, and one is used by driver for rasterization?

In that case, how good, you reckon, would the perf be compared to FGPA?

I actually debate with friends about this.

Yes, it is good to have more transparent insights into what the POTUS is doing. I just think that Twitter being an official policy platform for the country is concerning. Further, I think the impulsive and childish nature of the current POTUS should be severe cause for alarm.

I think it actually speak volumes about those who surround the POTUS and what a poor job they do as "handlers" -- shouldn't we have far more professionalism at that level?

But to your point, it was previous that this made it easier to spin the angle that the public sees...

It just makes me lose faith that anyone at the supposedly most elite positions really know what they are doing - they all seem so incompetent and looks like idiots, and it makes me want to acquiesce to their authority even less. Basically, it undermines and de-legitimatizes the power structure.
Should we call Trump an evil genius?

>A logarithmic time solution involving adjacency matrices, matrix multiplication, and binary decomposition of numbers.

can you post a link to this solution? sounds cool.

edit: lol i just realized this is simply multiplying the adjacency matrix and what you mean by binary decomposition of numbers is just exponentiation by squaring. it's funny now that i realized i'll probably never figure out the dp solution.

edit2: got it. number of length n paths for some key u is sum of n-1 paths across "knight neighbors" of u. base case is length 1 path which is just # of neighbors.

it's funny this problem is designed in a particular way. using the keypad instead of a chessboard lets you write down the graph by hand rather than actually procedurally generating it (which is awkward with lots of literal edge conditions to check).

Of course, the downside is a diverse set of opinions on how to tag stuff, but I get the impression OSM editors are aware of the vast public benefits of having an agreed-upon way to tag things.
I'm generally dubious of blaming large macroeconomic trends on the incumbent President anyway:

* The FED has more direct influence and control (although the FED chair is appointed by the President, so I guess you can blame him indirectly)

* Congress is responsible for most domestic policies, even the ones championed by the President.

* Tons of economic factors are outside of the US government's direct control, especially when it comes to science and technology. (Some of these factors are even outside the control of any American actors: many of the recessions between 1970 and 1990 were at least partly caused by disruptions in the oil market.)

* Even factors that you can attribute to government actions are more long-term in focus: ARPANET was established in the Johnson administration and didn't yield macroeconomic gains until the Clinton administration, while most of the economic benefit of the Interstate Highway System was realized long after the Eisenhower administration.

I'd say all three of these are topics related to string theory and worked on by string theorists. I don't think of them as part of string theory exactly, but it's roughly the same set of people doing the research. What does that mean? The two possibilities that occur to me are a) that the age when one could make a career purely as a string theory specialist is ending, and b) that knowing string theory is a competitive advantage for anyone doing formal theory.
Same here dude.

Initially. Now he’s making his own. The present policy of printing money to buy currency with which to pay debts is unsustainable. Putting family and cronies in positions that are meant to be independent makes people sell.
In my completely amateur opinion, that is the one major reason why value investing is so much harder today. When Graham and later Buffett were executing this strategy to enormous success, most of a companies valuation could be traced back to it's assets -- excluding intellectual property. Now that IP is such a large part of valuations, it's much harder to execute this strategy because IP is inherently harder to valuate than tangible assets. And consequently, it's much more difficult to accurately access the difference between price and value.

Well, my commute is only 10 minutes and I'm not sure how sleep comes into it (sleep is my favorite part of the day!), but I'm definitely a pragmatist at my job.

Right now outside of my job I am replacing 100 feet of fence on my property. It is hot, sweaty, miserable work. At my job I sit in a very comfortable chair in A/C with snacks close at hand and headphones on doing work that I actually enjoy. My coworkers and boss are super nice. All in all my job is absolute luxury compared to the life of a manual laborer. Monday is my favorite day because I get to go back to work and relax instead of working on projects around the house ;-) Plus, they pay me really well.

My personal take on where coins came from is weights used with balance scales (and certain metals would be favored there as they would not change their weight much while stored).

Also, i think i once read that at some point Japan used a system based on a standardized rice bowl.

So in earlier days it may well have been easier to set the price of a service (or anything that involved laborers) based on the number of meals needed.
> Japan comes to mind as a hot spot for value

I'd be interested in learning more about this, even if just for the sake of a hobbyist's fascination in stock markets outside of the U.S. Are there any resources you'd suggest for somebody who has amateur interest in value investing but without a lick of Japanese language & cultural knowledge?

There's a good sci-fi short story buried in this somewhere... Stock Runner, perhaps?
Experience seems to show that standardizing on a codec or instruction type is the most likely path. Apple iDevices have had hardware transcoding for video for a couple releases now.

You really can't just have an FPGA that you recompile to a different architecture within a split second. They typically require compiling, downloading, and testing the the architecture you're deploying.

Until someone comes up with a much faster to deploy FPGA, you'll likely not see enough efficiency gains in having a codec-specific processor given the time it takes to reconfigure the FPGA for each codec.
Another one of these vastly overstated statement. 420$ was maybe selected over 419 or 421 as a price for a joke, but if you actually believe he just made up a number to make a joke your are misinformed. This was in discussions with the board before the tweet.

As for him looking like a joke, you just list more blatant lies.

The Tesla Model 3 is the most pre-order car in history and they have insane amounts of demand. It will take 1-2 years to do the orders they already have.

As for hemorrhaging money, guess what, most of that was investment and now the Tesla Model 3 is rolling in quite a bit of money, and with very little further investment, they can produce a highly profitable car for the next 2-3 years.

He didn't rant about women, did he? he only mentioned feminism, or are you saying that only women are allowed to be feminist?
When there is a significant power differential, can the victim effectively say no? Can they say no at all? It is pretty clear that some victims can't bring themselves to or don't think they can, and that some offenders understand that and depend on it to get away with their offenses. I have no idea if that is what happened here, naturally, so I won't comment on that.

> Are we going to now require contracts before going into any relationship that might involve a power dynamic?

In many enterprises (universities included) there is a blanket prohibition on sexual relationships between persons whose organizational power differs. In those cases the answer to your question is "no, you're not allowed to engage in such a relationship at all, contract or no contract". Consent isn't always sufficient.

It is very important to forbid sexual relationships between professors and their students, for otherwise a) professors are arguably taking advantage of their students with whom they engage in sex (even if the students don't think so), and b) other students are put at a (real or perceived) disadvantage and/or encouraged to do the same to get similar (real or perceived) benefits to those who are already engaging in sexual relationships with their professors. Similarly, it is important that managers not have sexual relationships with the people they manage. This applies to military organizations as well, not just private enterprise, and it should apply to civilian government organizations.

People who find themselves wanting to be in such relationships have choices besides violating applicable regulations: don't do it, move elsewhere in the organization (e.g., switch classes) or quit it altogether in order to be free to engage in a relationship with the other person. Many people actually make those choices, often happily.

This has not been a controversial position in decades. There are controversies in this topic area, such as how Title IX should be interpreted and enforced, but regulation of power-asymmetrical relationships is not controversial.

It’s less freedom than stability. Dictatorships are unstable. Governments are meant to be immortal; dictators are not. Investors aren’t fleeing Turkey’s autocracy. They’re fleeing Erdogan’s volatility.

China balanced autocracy and stability. Xi has undone China’s term limit requirements, however, which makes me less optimistic going forward.
No, we're talking about microseconds.
I'll chime in with anecdata of 1: for our family it is purely about convenience and the lack of space (due to increasing real estate costs.)

Books for us are about space. Growing up, having a full-wall bookshelf was one of my favorite things. It had sentimental value, it was a family gathering place, each ripped page or blemished cover had a story. We now dont have space for a second full-wall bookshelf. We've completely stopped purchasing books and just use Kindle or the library. It works, it just doesnt have the love of a physical books. But we also dont have the space for physical books.

Living in Brooklyn, going from a 2BR to 3BR meant another $500,000 in cost. We now living outside DC, which is less expensive, but still not enough to have room.

So we rent.

Music and movies are for convenience. For me, most music and movie CDs/DVDs never carried as much sentimental value. It is great not having to carry around disks and having temporary access to a much larger library. We subscribe to Apple Music and have never looked back.
I'm not saying this is as extreme a case, but I got a whiff of similarity to Theranos, in the aspect of an emphasis on loyalty making it difficult for the CEO to listen to debate. Of course, that could also be because the journalists covering tech businesses nowadays are looking for the next Theranos story.
> "The nation was based on the notion that property ownership gives individuals a stake in the system."

It's technically true. It's clear that the original law of the land assumed that only landowners had a stake in running things.

I didn't get the impression that the author claimed this was a moral truth. Rather, I thought he was saying that the resulting culture made the country prosperous and productive. As more and more groups started owning things, they became enfranchised into the system.

Indeed, but—since you mentioned it—there are a lot of missed opportunities in electrifying short range passenger ferries. Many ferries might only sail for 20 minutes and remain docked for a while where they could be recharged. Even on a busy ferry routes, a natural gas powered boats might actually make a lot more sense then a diesel powered one. The only real use for a diesel engine now might be for long distance cargo vessels, cross ocean passenger ferries, and very very huge fishing trawlers (although I would very much like to see the big trawlers vanish into history).

Wow just at a time I was considering this. So currently in a workshop doing an evaluation with a group of people and the amount of group think that starts to occur is unbelievable.

Racial supremacism and Nazism are based around identity and tribalism, but the notions of oppression and victimhood aren't as central. Nazism in particular doesn't have the leftist narrative of overthrowing oppression in general; it was very explicit about the "strong" (Germanics) dominating the "weak" (Jews and Slavs).
Cops would have to carry noise meters for them to be able to give the ticket in-person.

I would happily buy them with money from my own pocket. Absolutely serious, send me an invoice. Yeah, Redmond didn't take me up on it, either.

The fact that it is universally not enforced tells me my simple solutions were obviously missing something. OTOH, if you replace the headlamps in your car, they're supposed to have a DOT stamp on them somewhere (granted, I've never even heard of that being enforced). Given that my stock mufflers have stamps referencing the EPA, seems to me we could do the same as headlights. Roar past a cop, cop looks for stamp, no stamp: here's your ticket. We already regulate car exhaust systems, I have no problem with it for bikes. And unlike a loud Civic, you can visually inspect the system with little effort.

But what it really boils down to is that no one is riding an open-pipe Harley past a Senator's house at 2:00 a. m. Because no one but the cretins that ride them likes the sound of a loud bike.

Part of the reason scooters are so popular in countries like Spain is that you can park them on any pavement. Technically the pavement has to be wider than 3m, but as long as it's not in the way it's fine. Mine has been parked, along with many others, on the corner of my street for 3 years in a central area of Madrid without issue.

I'm not sure about this particular person in question, but it seems to me one never knows who will stick by the principle instead of "their side" until real-world challenges come along to "test" those principles. I'd wager even the persons being "tested" don't really know what they'd do under such circumstances.

My feeling is that it's rare to stick to the principles at hand compared to protecting your own (and I mean for any group/tribe not any specific one).
It definitely has been around a while. It's important to note that the "power" is not the power the individual holds, but rather "institutional" power that a person holds simply by virtue of being of a particular collective. For instance, if you are a hiring manager at a repair shop and you decide "this Asian must be good at math, so he won't be interested in working on cars" that's racist and you hold demonstrable power. That's not the same thing as institutional power, since that definition of racism would allow a black hiring manager to discriminate against that candidate on the basis of the black collective holding less institutional power than the Asian collective.

If one is simply racist or not racist because of what collective their a member of, it negates individual agency and dehumanizes everyone.

This leaves us with some possibilities:

One, racism is an immoral act committed by an individual, and the individual's conduct is the principal determining factor.

Two, we can just blame it all on the patriarchy at which point racism as a concept is pointless.

Three, you could claim that only white people have moral agency, which even white nationalists would disavow.

Four, something between one and two, which is probably what the left prefers. And the moral of Jeong case is that it leads to a blatant double standard based on your political stance that is worse about undermining the notion of racism than #2.

> I sold my car but if I still had one I don’t think I’d be very uh, charitable to someone topping out at 25mph on Ponce.

In which case you probably need to practice patience. There are already plenty of cyclists on Ponce and similar streets of Atlanta who top out at 15mph. They have as much right to be there as motorists, and while you might be annoyed that you’re running late because you didn’t plan accordingly for traffic, they are too often stuck and seriously injured or killed because of aggressive drivers.
