But the labor theory of value is still bunk. It's not just a matter of capture. 8 hours of digging a ditch with a shovel is more exhausting and creates less wealth than 8 hours of digging the same ditch with an excavator. 8 hours of programming Microsoft Excel creates more value for humanity than 80 hours of programming Duke Nukem Forever. Hard work can sometimes be directly proportional to wealth created, but only if everything else is equal, which it never is.

Those things have already been proven. We're talking about research here.
Though your premise is correct, Accenture is public, not private. They (like many others) wanted to expand beyond pure consulting, and the partners wanted to cash out.

Accounting and law firms may be a better example, though even they aren't as entrepreneurial as you think. They have their own regulations and internal politics.
Considering you can provide as many details on HOW you got stranded there (flight numbers, cruise ship name etc.) as possible and add details about WHERE you got stranded, I think that would help search&rescue to at least narrow it down... or maybe you are very lucky and the place has some pretty unique characteristics?

I think the biggest problem would be actually getting the people who find your message to turn it in to the police or so and then you got to hope they won't just throw it away or wouldn't even know where to forward the message to.

The phrase is usually used ironically: "I could care less" is used to mean the opposite "I couldn't care less".

Similarly, when my daughter says "Nice hat, Dad", she is not actually complimenting me on my choice of haberdashery, but rather, pointing out that she thinks it is not nice at all.

How I Became a Master of Memory
edit:
I don't really want to get into a CS/data structures argument with you, 'cuz I like having a chance at winning when I argue stuff.

It's not wrong. I think when you say String people think of:

String name = "Leto Atreides";

In Redis (and I guess as a Computer Science term) it means:

byte[] anything = ....

Although, the Wiki page does say:

generally understood as a data type...using some character encoding

With the redis implementation not having any character encoding.

It isn't a big deal, but I think you'd find that it can be a little confusing to us some.

I'm awfully skeptical that there is some part of the mind called "consciousness" that is distinct from all these other "unconscious" things. I suspect that what we think of as conscious thought is just a frankenstein of these same little faculties, that just happen to have control of your mouth. The sensation of unity and free will is just that: a sensation, nothing more. I'm not even sure we would claim to have the sensation if we didn't learn about it from our culture.

The story about the judge is great evidence of this. He knows what an injury is, and all his senses tell him he is injured, but somehow he still can't know that he is injured. Or at least, he behaves like he can't know it. The conscious/unconscious model of the mind just can't reconcile this.

I find it confusing that a lot of people found this preachy and patronizing. A lot of things on the internet vie for your attention. You go places on the internet, like Facebook and Google, where you have to endure a lot of ads that tell you what you should buy, what you should like, and how you should live your life. What's so terrible about this one thing that reminds you to relax once in a while instead of giving you yet another point of distraction? This isn't trying to force you into some new way of life.

but strings in most languages such as C, Python or Ruby are exactly random access sequences of bytes. And btw 'binary' is a form of encoding in a string. So Redis strings are strings ;) in a full sense.

I think that if calling what are strings, "strings", can generate confusion, go figure how much confusion can be created by calling them with another term...

I think this happens because it is increasingly difficult to accumulate all the knowledge necessary to make you a specialist in your field (and to give you the opportunity to discover new things) until the age of 30.
I'd say it's like anything else. It depends how you are bound. If you can run them on the same machine, go ahead..but if you become resource bound, you split them up, then you shard...common scaling approach.

As for why not use native structures? You need to build persistence, transaction support, pub/sub api, thread awarness. Also, if you happen to use a generic data structure, like Java's HashSet, you probably won't get even close to the same level of performance.
I (try to) use this process to learn efficiently.

When I want to understand a complex topic (e.g. back end development), I simply read every now and then articles and posts beyond my comprehension. And I do it quickly. When I commit to learn the topic, I usually find that 90% of the work is already done. Is really like somebody else was processing all the information.

I think that this is a very powerful process to boost knowledge. But it also has significative drawbacks. It tend to be a far less social person when I saturate my subconscious. I also noticed, that my brain tends to discard little details. For example sometimes I can't remember what I eat at lunch.

AS a side note, I also noticed that I can bump myself out this learning mode if I don't touch a computer for the whole day. I do it on saturdays and sundays and start the next week feeling more productive. On the other hand if I don't do it for a couple of weeks I tend to feel exhausted.

Anybody else has similar experiences? Tips to share?

Yes, being opens source is motivation, because you can create your own cloud with your own hardware when you need it.

And it's additional assurance that you'll be able to deploy your system even if they go out of business.
There are obvious reasons for needing networking access, but even when you don't need it:

1) Redis is much more memory efficient than your average programming language.
2) Redis handles persistence and replication for you. Not a joke.
3) Accessing data with atomic operations on complex data types from your application using multiple threads can create more problems.
4) Your application is free of doing other stuff if you use a non blocking client, if you are asking Redis to do computationally intensive tasks.
5) There is no easy way to model Redis sorted sets, in many very high level languages, at the same speed, without writing a C extension.
I was hoping for Yahoo, Amazon, or Microsoft to throw a lot of resources at this about 5~8 years ago. Since then, Google kind of ran away with the game in crawling. They were far ahead of everyone else back then, but one could conceive of a rag-tag group of companies, institutions, and individuals pooling their resources and getting a crawl about 10% as good. These days, on the externally visible evidence they're probably several orders of magnitude better than everybody else on the planet combined.

Take crawl freshness. If I publish a new blog post, it gets crawled and added to the Google index in seconds. Other crawling efforts take weeks between refreshes.

I think it qualifies as a great exploit. You totally go around the Private API checks that Apple does. And there is a lot you can do with those APIs that is potentially evil. Even in the sandbox.
Well, yes, it would be fair to say that when you need to use MongoDB instead RDBMS you have to make safe=True commits all the time (otherwise you can really lost piece of them). I didn't do any benchmarks, because for usage like this I am completely ok with RDBMS, and use MongoDB in more "warehouse"-like use-cases (statistics, caching, long-running m/r on data etc.)

So MongoDB gets it's own niche: use it for "not 100% important data", but instead you get really high availibility of MongoDB cluster, really high speed and document-storage.

What you said about speed on safe commits is really interesting for me. I mean, of course they're slow consequentially, but in parallel they should be just as fast. Or am I wrong here?
If you don't already know how to use Redis, it's hard to think of a technology that offers as good a return on time invested - you really can pick up everything you need to know about it in a few hours, and once you add it to your tool kit you'll find no shortage of problems that it can help solve.

For what it's worth, I would not classify this as irony (or at least it's hardly a prototypical case). I'm sure the current meaning of "I could care less" is quite thoroughly conventionalized: it's part of everyday speech, and many people do not notice any non-literal effects such as irony -- as evidenced by the prescriptionist videos which feel the need to explain to people the "true" meaning of the expression. Irony may have had a role in the etymology of the expression. All of this is very similar to a dead metaphor.

I don't see how this is not open source yet. Just because they are limiting access to the actual source doesn't mean that, when you finally do get past the invite wall and see the source, you don't have all the open rights they assign to it.

It's open source behind an invite wall. Once you get it, it should come with the OSS lincenses. I'm assuming.
He could also just have sent them an email about it. Instead he put a malicious app on the store and announced a talk at a security conference. Diplomacy was never his skill.
The relationship between sarcasm and irony is subtle; sarcasm often makes use of irony, but is characterized by its "biting" nature. The quote from my daughter is ironic and sarcastic; the quote about "caring less" is ironic, and may or may not be sarcastic depending on the context.

Irony here refers to verbal irony, a discrepancy between the literally meaning of a phrase and its intended meaning, such as saying "What a nice day!" when it is raining.

Thus, "I could give a shit" and "I couldn't give a shit" are identical in meaning, as the former is doubtless intended ironically. Similarly for caring less.
Indeed. When you think OSX and iOS Security, Charlie Miller is the first name that comes to mind.
Well, I have done things with HTML which make folks cringe who don't understand why I am doing it.

Imagine a web page with a giant table, every other row of which contains another table, and where the entire page contains probably 20000 INPUT tags, half of which are potentially exposed to the user under one set of visibility rules or another.

Now if it wasn't a bulk payment interface for wiring money out to hundreds of clients, paying potentially up to 5000 invoices in a single run, it would be entirely insane. As it is, the insanity is mostly an issue of the fact we have to do a lot to handle the fact that we have to handle concurrency issues over application protocols like HTTP, which leads to fun stuff in the database.
"Amazingly, this entire sequence is possible in less than four-tenths of a second; otherwise no one would ever hit a fastball. But even more surprising is that conscious awareness takes longer than that: about half a second. So the ball travels too rapidly for batters to be consciously aware of it."

I believe I've had this experience with some computer games - like tetris - where at some point it is too fast to really see what is going on despite the fact that you are still playing correctly.
Very nice. Reeder.app is also a good alternative. I use it daily and it is awesome.
Another way to say the same thing the article says is that «science has been rewarding creativity less and less». In that case, both (a) and (b) start to seem subtly related. Because once your hero ceases being a random wacko who was curious about weird stuff and comes to be a laborious researcher that climbed a lot of ladders, then the amount of effort you give to weird ideas decreases.

Another way to put it is that big science is replacing science, and i think it is. (Feyerabend's perspectives, albeit very different from that, seem to point out many of the problems...)

No. He is talking about irony, not sarcasm. Irony is typically understood to mean saying A while being aware (or of the opinion) that !A. Viz. "Nice hat, dad", or "Real good idea" (when it's not). Sarcasm (cutting remarks) often involve irony, but not always; it's an orthogonal concept.

Also, dropping the "not" in "Could not care less" is not reasonably said to be a grammar mistake. It's usually not sarcasm, either. Whether you agree that it's irony is a different matter (I'm pretty sure it's not).

Generally agreed, but would suggest a slightly different set of concerns separated.

instead of separation of content, layout, and styling, I would suggest a separation of data, structure, and styling. Data + structure gives you content, structure plus styling gives you layout.

So in this idea you might have RDF as data, an HTML template as structure, and CSS as styling. The browser would generate the HTML from the template and the RDF, and the CSS would then be used to lay it out and style it.

In fairness, I wouldn't offer the pedantry of a prescriptionist who was moved to create a video as evidence that the average person doesn't get the sarcasm of "I could care less". I think it's rather more likely that the average person couldn't care less whether the phrase is literally correct, as long as the listener or reader understands its meaning.
