Wikipedia seems to give the relevant cites.
Just tried it myself and it took 10 seconds. That still seems far too long.
At the level of those questions it's not that difficult. Read books (not just summaries of seminal works, the seminal works themselves, and not just non-fiction) and follow some quality discussion and news sources for a decade or so. A background in a science, history, etc, also helps.

Also start a blog or write small essays with your observations (even if they're trite at first -- they'll get better over time, especially if you incorporate comments from others, and learn to expand your initial points of view).

As some comments mentioned before, there are perfectly good software written in NodeJS (trello) which are blazingly fast. Similarly, there are enough good, well performant multi-tenanted applications on AWS. Anything that has been used for a long time (linux, java, protocols, etc) is always going to carry tech debt and there is nothing wrong in that.

While there may be a grain of truth in some corner cases of what is written, it overall comes across as an emotionally negative let off, and in some places borderlining on indirect propaganda against generic stuff (sorry).

Not at all. The SEC is thinking not in terms of this one crime, but in terms of the hundred CEOs who will feel tempted to commit securities fraud in the future, and the hundreds of thousands of investors who will fear such fraud.

Will they think "Remember Elon Musk, he got his ass kicked at high cost to himself and his investors, nobody does it" or will they think "Remember Elon Musk, he did this and got away scot free, everyone does it" ?

That's the choice facing the SEC, and for obvious reasons they chose the former.
(Can't seem to edit my post so I'll add an additional comment)

One of biggest issues with the 1-child policy is that it affected the middle class much more severely than the ultra-wealth and the rural countryfolk,

> Min was born in 1986, six years after the one-child policy came into effect. She is the second of five children, a reflection of lax enforcement of family planning in the Hebei farming village where she grew up. (Min's father told me that one family in the village had six children; another man, who had fathered seven children, had been the village chief.)

> Min herself, along with everyone she knows, has two children.

> When history's largest social experiment in state-regulated childbearing comes to an end, it will have been borne disproportionately by the Chinese urban middle-class. The elaborate machinery built to enforce these policies barely touched Min at all. She was ignored by the government, living at the margins--in China, that's often the best place to be.

See another comment in this thread: "$10,000 is typical for bride-price in China and only a bit higher than average annual Chinese income. The Chinese do save more than 30% of their income so that is about three years of savings for average earners in China".

That seems more in line with my experience (and the $10,000 price is also something I've heard often). I could easily see my grandparents in law (who live in rural China) be able to live of $10k for three years, given that nothing exceptional happens.
This is really dependent on your employer's attitude. What worked for me, though, when working independently, is:

- Start the day by making a list of tasks you can do that day. You don't need to finish them all, but there should be no moment that you don't know quite what you could pick up.
- Then work using the Pomodoro technique: alternate 25 minutes of work with a 5-minute break, and every fourth break is 15 minutes. In those 25-minute sessions, do not e.g. check Hacker News, and in the 5-minute sessions, do not work.
- My day was done when I finished 12 "Pomodoro's", i.e. did six hours of productive work.

I was way more productive than I was when I had to go to the office, yet had more spare time. I guess that helps: if you can compare it to going into office, you feel less guilty for fewer hours butt-in-seat if you're getting more done.

Of course, things like meetings can complicate this.

I never implied they didn't prefer it, so I wonder why you seem to think so.
Whilst your core point about books aging is absolutely true I think thats mostly the mass market publications designed to ease entry than actual papers.

Similarly, anything writen about an implementation is short lived. The Idiots Guide to Windows 98 is less useful today than it was in 1998 and is getting less useful with time.

Lovelace, Babbage, Turing, McCarthy et al are still seminal. But these are academic papers that focus on what is possible to compute and how one might construct an implementation.

There are some interesting edge cases too. Is the Gang of Four Design Patterns still relevent? Its not embarassing, but its not as applicable as it used to be.
In Chinese weddings, when you invite your friends, you also invite their relatives and families as well. It can definitely add up.

And it's not just you inviting people, but your parents and their parents.

It's not uncommon to actually not know 2/3s of the people at your wedding.

The best part however is that each guest will give you a "red envelope" of money. It's basically the wedding gift. The more people you invite, the more money you can possibly make (even after the expenses of the wedding).

This money is then used for the new coupe to start their family.

Not only did Gemalto fail to notify Estonia in good time about the ROCA flaw (the discoverers of which noticed that Estonia were still issuing vulnerable cards, so notified them themselves), some cards had their private keys generated outside of the card and then inserted, rather than on-card generation. I think Estonia is to be applaued here for handling all this in a sane manner.

> Blaming GDPR for everything is another stupid trend I detest.

From what I noticed, it's mostly coming from the U.S. where every piece of regulation is seen as "government impending businesses that create jobs", including regulation against polluting etc. I am not sure how actual citizens feel, I suspect not as strongly against deregulation as the press make it seem, but they're definitely a lot more against it than in the EU.

> Doesn't really matter, it is fast enough. If it isn't you back it up from a datacenter.

Sorry but no it really isn't. You'd have to rely so much in your own data centre that you'd loose the benefit of bittorrent. Plus many services will use a commercial CDN, none of which current support bittorrent. So you'd end up having to build your own infrastructure there, which would be a great deal more expensive.

> Shouldn't be any real difference in reliability.

Home connections might drop off due to power cuts, router failure or any of the other numerous conditions that datacenters battle against. Home connections might get throttled by ISPs.

Where I work we offer 5 "9s" of reliability on some services, good luck asking consumer broadband to offer the same ;)

> The client can decide this. There are torrent clients that do this already. Buffer 2 minutes, if some chunk is missing when 20 seconds remains pull it from a datacenter instead.

2 minutes is an excessively long buffer compared to.how long most RMTP segments are (often 15 seconds or below).

> No, you start streaming from the datacenter.

So then why bother with bittorrent at all?

> Not sure, but if a minute is acceptable delay (depends on what is being broadcasted) it should be feasible. A live webcam for a tourist resort should be fine, a sports event, maybe not.

A minute isn't even close to acceptable delay. Imagine if you're watching a sports match and Twitter is ahead of your video fees, you wouldn't be grateful for the spoilers. This is a real world problem with video streaming and why they talk about getting the latency down to 5 seconds or less.

> Spotify even used to work this way. When a user clicked play (or seeked to a different part of the song) the first (if I remember correctly) 15 seconds was fetched from their CDN. After that it used its own torrent-like system to continue and pre-fetch the next song.

Spotify is audio only. People love to compare video streaming to audio streaming but they don't realise that HD video is an order of magnitude more complex to stream - in terms of bandwidth, syncing, dropped frames, etc.

It's one of those problems that seems easy to solve from a superficial level but when you start getting to the broadcaster level it's actually a great deal more complex than even Plex and other self-hosted streaming services would lead you to believe. (Disclaimer, I've worked at the broadcaster level)
I see what you're saying. I guess it depends on how people interpret "a lot." To me it would have to be at least 5x the average.
Tesla reportedly met its ambitious quarterly Model 3 production goal
It's popular with "preppers"

Every Airsofter I see has a Baofeng in an imitation Harris casing and freely uses it in their games. None of them have ham licenses. The spectrum is regulated for reasons, but there seems to be zero enforcement. This is in the UK.
The really interesting part is the need to appoint two independent directors. Currently, Tesla's leadership could best be described as a monarchy, with King Elon appointing family and favoured friends. That will have to change now and I think it will be quite telling who ends up in the role as well as how long they remain at Tesla.

It’s called price elasticity.

It basically means that you’re much more willing to pay a large price for a product you need and which has no substitute than for a commodity product. Which is why stunts like multiplying the price of a drug by 1000 regularly make the news.

Note that this is purely about price (ie the value you assign to the product) and has very little to do with its actual cost.

Furthermore, since you have no incentive to lower your price (indeed, you can hike it up any time you need to show more profits), well there’s no incentive to improve the underlying production process (ie lower costs) or improve the product. This goes IMO a long way in explaining the college and healthcare examples in the article.

How is spying something to be attributed to the right?

The most powerful spying organizations of the world,the KGB or the Stasi(or the Chinese entire structure) has been historically from the left.

We are talking about secret services that did(are) monitor(ing) all your conversations, all the time, and have the power to fire you from your job, socially isolate you or just jail or kill you.

What happened to the rivals of current president of China? That made him de facto dictator for life.

We can extract some information about what you write that you are leftist so Left equals good, Right equals bad. Hence if things get wrong, it is going to the right.

The fact is that the world is becoming more authoritarian again. People in power want more power. In places like Spain people in power are from the left.

The people in the US and UK are adult enough to have decided to vote Brexit and Trump on their own. There were lots of interest in the table. If you talk about the Russia influence you should talk about the opposite influence too(the financial industry and media extremely in favor of Hillary or anti-Brexit) which vastly exceeded any other by far. I was in the UK at the time.

The US admitted officially that it spent 6.000 million dollars interfering in Ukraine alone. Imagine how much they have spent trying to interfere in Russia through ONGs, media support...US has so much GDP compared to Russia, what Russia spent in adds was extremely small.
> The story is so bad Microsoft’s own flagship software has to build their own UI frameworks

I think this might be the other way round: if they're not eating their own dogfood, it's much easier for the UI framework to come adrift from actual use cases.

It's really telling that in Windows 8/10 they "modernised" some, but not all, of the control panel UI. It's basically random as to whether a setting you need will be in a Metro-flavoured window or a Win32-flavoured one.

To me, the trouble with everything after WinForms is that it lacks a really compelling reason to upgrade. It's not easier to develop for and it's not nicer to use, and on many desktop systems the font rendering is much uglier in the new system. It does perform better at high DPI, but (catch-22) few people use high DPI windows systems because it's not well supported by even the OS let alone the applications.
I called it that because I've seen fib be the go-to example of so many introductions to functional programming.

But I suppose it's more accurate to describe it as the poster boy example for changing an implementation to make it tail recurse.
Nothing beats sitting in front of a computer in the dark.

Your link just proves how horrible German tax system is:
