> Marriage helps families by providing heavy incentives for partners to settle their differences and stay coupled rather than get frustrated and split

Yes, except it doesn't seem to be working.

> It protects a dependent spouse (say, a mother who chooses to stay home and care for her children instead of producing her own income) from abandonment by supplying the dependent with legal recourse for support even if the breadwinner decides to blow it

In theory yes...in point of fact, it doesn't always work out that way.

I could pick apart your extremely loose reasoning more, but let's get down to brass tacks. Your entire argument is predicated on the notion that "family" === Mother, Father, and biological children. This is patently absurd.

There are millions of infertile, adoptive, heterosexual couples who by your implicit argument don't deserve the protections and rights of marriage. However, if you expand the definition to include them, you must include homosexual couples too.

You're partially right. Marriage encourages stability. I would disagree that is the only reason for it though. More importantly what you're missing is that it's beneficial to society to have ALL families stable...regardless of whether they have biological children or not. It makes for a healthier and happier population.

While Minecraft is really a very nice idea it let me feel the disadvantages of Garbage Collection. On three different machines with three different JREs I had to tweak the start-up of the JVM for Minecraft and still it comes to lags and sometimes it just stops.
Yes, you'd have to implement this in the application layer. There would be an API which sends out the 5 minute warning to all systems, which would then need to clean up and die before hard shutdown. This has existed in the physical server and UNIX world forever.

Normally you Anycast DNS only, and then use DNS load balancing (of IPs) to load balance physical load balancers (which are themselves sharing IPs on subnets and doing high availability stuff) in front of banks of servers.

You probably implement Geo, health, and load based optimization in the DNS layer and also in the physical load balancers. A single host out of ~30 dying at Site A doesn't affect how the DNS load balancing responds, but a critical number does.

Due to broken DNS implementations in the wild, you ideally keep your per-site load balancers up in as many situations as possible (even if load must be shed, you keep core network and load balancers up) and redirect traffic from there to other sites.

For larger sites, the big choice is running a single AS global network where IPs can move between datacenters vs. running each datacenter as a separate network. Advantages and disadvantages to each.

The big disadvantage of all of this is you're now spending a few million a month on salaries, infrastructure (various PoPs, network gear, etc.) before you've bought a single server or served a single page. Not so lean.
They have certainly found something that is very close to the Higgs Boson predicted by the standard model of particle physics. How do they know its the Higgs?

I can't agree with you more. I love clojure. We have done some projects with clojure. But clojure start slow, which make scriting with it a very bad idea.

We used to use fabfile to manage them, with is much better.

I don't proclaim to understand all of VMware's acquisitions of the past few years, but this one is really puzzling.

DynamicOps tools are built on a .NET stack (VMware are clearly a Java shop) and while their platform is a worthwhile in its own right, it duplicates a lot of functionality with products VMware already has or has functionality VMware could build without much effort given the swath of automation tools they already have ( DynamicOps tools just interface with published APIs from Microsoft and Citrix).

Probably a defensive acquisition I guess. I can't see integration with existing VMware products working at all.
You say you are an average coder. How are you as a writer?
"Although leap seconds caused by the need to compensate for the earth's rotation are extremely rare occurrences – the last whole second adjustment would have happened in 1820 had atomic clocks and NTP servers existed – there have in fact been 25 leap seconds for other reasons since the beginning of atomically-measured time in 1971."

The date for the definition by SI of the second using an atomic-clock reference is 1967:

"The SI second was defined in terms of the caesium atom in 1967, and in 1971 it was renamed International Atomic Time (TAI)"

1972 is the date the leap seconds have been introduced.

Since UTC has been initiated in 1961 (yes, even before the definition of the SI second in terms of caesium atom), there was an ongoing effort to synchronize the atomic-clock references with the solar time. The various methods for synchronizing the time were based both on changing of the length of the second and with time steps (see Stepped Atomic Time).

When the SI second was defined based on the atomic clock definition, it was decided that shifting the clock frequency to account to solar time synchronization was a mess and thus only time steps were used to keep the UTC in sync with mean solar time.

The steps were of 200ms; later it was recognized that this was also a mess and "In 1968, Louis Essen, the inventor of the caesium atomic clock, and G. M. R. Winkler both independently proposed that steps should be of 1 s only" [4]

Starting from 1972 these 1s corrections are the leap seconds.

The need for those corrections is caused by the irregularities in earth rotational speed.
Does anybody know what are these other reasons ?

The reason tablets are separated from the PC market is because tablets are a different and competing product! And make no mistake, this OS price is not for tablets. What Metro tablet am I going to buy that doesn't... have metro on it?
Absolutely, and that seems to be a big part of why EBS takes so long to come back - simply booting all those disks over the network generates so much traffic it takes forever!

On the other hand, an fsck to recover the filesystem probably causes even more traffic.

Our sovereign government has decided not to prosecute him.

They did, however, agree to their extradition agreements with the USA. But this is neither here nor there; I'm more concerned with the "he did nothing wrong" angle that is being used in argument against his extradition, whilst very ignoring the facts of the matter.
I kind of agree here but for real life working hard problems you need an OR that can code to make performance tweaks and adjust the algorithm in code. Maybe with some help from a programmer('hacker') as a mentor or code reviewer.
You could almost take any standard problem and learn to apply a simple standard OR approach and code it but when the shit hit the fan you must have someone to ask what makes the OR thing work/not work. A normal programmer isn't interested in this more low level thing of the OR side.

EDIT: Stop asking for top X if you really are trying to inspire more OR into more software. Most stuff in this world are done by mere mortals and not 1% of hackers. The true hackers of the world can probably already grok both malloc and TSP with timewindow constraints.
He didn't commit a crime in the UK. There was no law forbidding him to do these things

I've updated my comment to reflect the law that he's alleged to be tried under. I don't know how the extradition agreements work though - maybe the UK have signed away their rights to prosecute someone as soon as the USA steps in? Wouldn't be surprised at any rate.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought linking to movies instead of hosting them is legal?

I think that very much depends on which country you're operating in and what the purpose behind the linking is ;)
The GPL was designed to protect users, not developers. Under it, developers can't hide the source code from their users, can't prevent their users from modifying the programs they use and from helping other users with the code they have. If you statically link to a GPL'ed library, your code is GPL'ed, end of story. What Lexmark did was to use code as an excuse to prevent the formation of a free market. What Lexmark did is very close to what Microsoft is trying to do preventing the formation of a free market for operating systems for ARM devices.

and that the only UK prosecution of such did not provide a decision either way.

This is a complete fallacy and ignores everything inside.

The iPhone wasn't just the hardware—though it was very good for what it did, with e.g. Android taking 3 years to match the multi-touch or accelerometer sensor quality even on their flagship phones.

What made the iPhone shine was the software, where they took the mature base and frameworks of OS X and used them to power a phone. While competing smartphones were still running on underpowered embedded kernels, iOS was supremely modern, fully threaded, with full separation between CPU and GPU, needed for that butter smooth response. And on top of that were frameworks for image/media processing, vector/PDF rendering, a mobile GPU-accelerated version of WebKit, etc. All the stuff that powers QuickTime, iTunes, iLife, was all there, and in non-neutered, slightly modernized form.

Thanks to this, Apple could nail both the feature set and performance of their built-in apps, and it opened the door for the app store to explode with innovation. The difference between a good UI and a bad one isn't a skin, it's how responsive everything is and how easy it is to do sophisticated things. It's a camera app that starts up instantly, a photo gallery that can generate and load thumbnails without lag or hitches, a built-in search engine that is fast and language-aware, ...

Dual HV grid feeds (from different grids, or really distinct parts of the same grid). I'll pay extra for datacenters with those. That will dramatically reduce the number of times you lose all utility power. Also, pick a utility which doesn't suck (which also saves you money); i.e. Silicon Valley Power instead of PG&E (which is why you see all the best datacenters in the Bay Area in the South...)

There's no real current alternative to diesel generators for true standby power, but they still suck.

Well, disregarding the design decision, or the RFC, it's basically wrong to use CNAME alongside of other records, especially MX records.

Considering most active domains have MX records under the root host name (like example.com.), CNAMEs won't work for these hostnames.

If there's native implementation for an "ALIAS" record which only points to the corresponding A record of the target, then it will work anywhere.
If you are hand-rolling your own analytics, it sounds like it might be simpler/cheaper for you to use SnowPlow (https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow) for your use case - especially as you can grab the data hourly from S3 rather than every 24 hours.

I like this. I'm not a UI expert in the least, but I've always felt that the "controllers" component was a bit ill-defined. It seems that the MVC division comes from a time when GUIs were for single-agent, deterministic desktop apps like calculators.

In a world where "social" apps are increasingly important (and this time I use "social" non-pejoratively, because even if 99% of "social" is crap, the other 1% is damn important) and notifications need a first-class status, MOVE (the separation between operations, which are agent-initiated, and events, which are observed and can come from anywhere) makes sense.

As far as I know, Apple DOES acknowledge the two year guarantee under European law, it just ADDITIONALLY has its own 1 year guarantee with different conditions.

Here, for example, is the Apple page for the Dutch market detailing the different guarantees (in Dutch): http://www.apple.com/nl/legal/statutory-warranty/

It seems then that the issue is about communication, not about actually offering a lesser guarantee and ignoring EU law.
The same happens in Spain. They don't (initially) respect the 2 years warranty. I believe Spanish authorities should do the same: fine them as much as they can until they start obeying local laws like everyone else.

However if you protest you get the 2 year warranty, but not everyone knows how to protest and what do say to convince Apple employees ;)

I don't think stackoverflow is a particularly useful metric.
If there is a simple easy to use and install language with good documentation, examples and a forum/mailing list with a small number of new users, it will be much lower on an equally as popular language with complex syntax and no community with a larger proportion of novice users.

Stackoverflow really fills the gap if there is no good alternative, it's a reflection of the ecosystem around the language than its popularity.

Perhaps the number of new projects or commits in a given language would be more indicative of a language's true popularity. (Not that it's a perfect metric either)
