I'd say that if you'd bring in an average Inuit into a board meeting, you'd have some language problems, and you'd have to explain a lot of things to him.

My argument is that there is such a thing as "too much diversity" - if a group that has to make some kind of a decision is too diverse, it will have communication problems. Therefore it's not as simple as saying "oh, anything that brings in more diversity is better for a board".

It is impressive how much hate and negativity the comments include. Sometimes we forget that while traffic keeps up community quality can easily degenerate. They will have to put also a lot of effort into community-re-building.

This shows again shows to me how hard and impressive the task is they picked. It's social software. It's not only the rewriting of the software part but also rewiring te social part.
Truly inspiring!
But it will be suing those sites. So If you have a site where people can put their advertisements you better look if they haven't posted same advertisement on craigslist and when they do don't publish it on your site.

Of course you can just slap the same lawyer silliness on your form and claim that you have also been given exclusive licence by your users and counter sue craigslist. I'm not sure if court is required to resolve the matter if you both have identical claims. Not sure if who got their "exclusive" licence first matters anything in such case.
If they were honestly all about helping people solve their problems, would they really care if it was them providing the solution, someone else building upon their data, or someone else cutting them out of the action?

If they were honestly all about helping people, surely Craigslist would let the market decide what is most helpful to them.

Pure cost comparison:

Let's ignore the $0.10/GB-month vs. $0.125/GB-month storage pricing as it is negligible compared to IOP costs.

Standard EBS volumes average 100 IOPS with best effort bursting.

A provisioned EBS volume at 100 IOPS would cost $0.10/IOPS-month * 100 IOPS = $10/month

A standard EBS volume cost would be $0.10/1000000 IOP (an equivalent of $0.26/IOPS-month). The breakeven with the provisioned EBS occurs at 38% utilization (38 IOPS), meaning that provisioned EBS is cheaper above this point.

To match the performance of a 4 volume standard EBS RAID (400 IOPS), you would have a minimum fixed cost of $40/month/GB, vs. the current $0.40/month/4GB + variable IOP pricing.

Provisioned EBS makes sense for scenarios with sustained high IOPS utilization as you get consistent performance with possible lower total costs. For less IO-intensive loads, using a RAID of standard volumes will be more cost-effective.

I see what you're trying to say; let me try as a programmer and a finance guy.

1. A lower stock valuation affects their ability to raise money and greatly reduces the amount raised,

2. Affects morale because employee stock holdings and options are worth less,

3. Causes investors to put social or board pressure on Facebook to make changes, effectively reducing management's control,

4. Possibly attracts SEC or DoJ attention which could mean time-expensive hearings and possibly fines for misstatements (a.k.a. lies.)

5. Has a psychological effect on users who want to be part of something popular and winning and on app developers uncertain if they want to trust a company on the downs with their livelihoods.

Edit: this doesn't concern Facebook directly, but its investors and its newly created millionaires/billionaires will want the price to stay up so it doesn't affect IPO prospects of their other companies. This is more the case for VC with a steady deal pipeline than the newly rich employees who won't have anything ready for IPO for several years, possibly with an entire cycle between now and then.

Financial theory says every stock should have an expectation of generating dividends or resulting in a payout when the company is acquired (the acquirer being able to directly harvest the free cash flow).

Yes, it's a confidence "game" on the company's fortunes when one buys with the expectation of selling before one of these outcomes are realised. But then so is staying in a country a confidence game that it won't blow up, holding cash that it won't be inflated away, holding gold that it won't plummet, etc.

It is not a Ponzi scheme as the shares try to approximate the productive value of the assets they represent ownership to - buying a tractor and putting it in your house is about the same as buying a piece of paper that says you own a tractor in a lot and neither is remotely Ponzi-ensqe for lack of presently producing cash flows. Stock of non-fraudulent companies represent real net assets while Ponzi shares don't.

> isn't always considered elective, but having your wisdom teeth removed is

Wisdom teeth removal isn't always considered elective either. Wisdom teeth removal is considered a medically necessary procedure by my insurance company and is covered.

> Any links to information on how the decision, of whether it is considered elective or not for any given situation, is made?

In the US system, generally each insurance company has their own policies on how they judge things and what they cover. Often depending on how your plan is written, slightly different sets of policies will kick in.

Insurance coverage in the US doesn't always directly correlate with what medical professionals in that field would declare as elective or not.

It is, of course, also extremely common for insurance companies to declare that genital reassignment surgery is elective, despite AMA and APA resolutions which declare otherwise.
For a coffee chain to go from $1m to 20 they'd need to sell a lot more coffee. There might be quality or indie-ness issues but as a whole, their customers get more coffee.

Investors see a good chance of turning Facebook into a $100b company. Even if it's a poor chance (say 25%) its worth pursuing. For users, this gamble pays nothing. Facebook doesn't have to serve more users or serve them any better to make that move.

Users are not going to like it. They get the downside and none of the upside.

Well, I think the question is not whether an average woman is more or less risky than an average man, but whether an average woman banker/manager is more or less risky than an average man on that position.

Think of that one woman per 50 man on the Wild West. How tolerant to risk must she have been to go to a dangerous land populated mostly by men. All of her family must've told her to stay home, and she had no role models to follow.

Also, you mentioned that in biology it's well established that women are (inherently?) less adventurous than man. You've got research which talks about sex at conception, but I was asking about a research which proves that any such relation persists beyond conception and is not a result of sociological effects (because we're talking biology here).

I do not know why premultiplied alpha was invented in the first place but it does exactly solve the problem stated in the article. From the wikipedia article on "Alpha compositing": "Premultiplied alpha has some practical advantages over normal alpha blending because premultiplied alpha blending is associative and linear interpolation gives better results". I'd go even farther and say that linear interpolation of nonpremultiplied alpha gives incorrect results. Since antialiasing results in pixels that are a linear interpolation of the foreground and background color this is exactly what causes this problem and would be solve by premultiplied alpha. While unrelated to this problem, associativity of blending is a very usefull property for any graphics system since you can draw primitives into a temporary image and then draw that temporary image onto the target image and get the same results as you would get when drawing into the target image directly. I do not know any problem of the unspecified ton of problems you mentiond, but these two properties are so useful that I would not want to work with any system that does not use (or at least support) premultiplied alpha.
You're playing cat and mouse then, and you'll never win. If base64 was banned, I'd base26 encode it (i.e. letters of the alphabet), then use the NATO phonetic alphabet "alpha bravo charlie". The message size would be massive, but the message would get through.

You're only making half an argument there. Yes, heart disease is a bigger cause of death than crazed gunmen ever could be in a functioning society. Ergo... what?
Most decent independent (as in, sell their own adverts) publishers will offer this. Personally the main, or even only, use has been customers with age-rated products that they don't want to be seen before a children can be assumed to be asleep.
I don't know about that. I have seen Android on OpenPandora (whose performance is similar to that of the Raspberry Pi, more or less) and lots of applications ran just like on my Android Galaxy S phone. Most games (even 3d ones) were working fine, too. It's definitely not going to be the best Android device around, but it will run many things well, I am confident about that.

Actually that was a mistake, see edit above. And post below.

Is it tragic? Yes.
Is it a probable threat to you or your loved ones? Not really.

I was a ZX Spectrum kid, which at the time was a great rivalry. But I have fond memories of the C64 and many other 80s home micros from visiting friends' houses, and I have to admit that C64 music still sounds good today, courtesy of its SID sound chip - not something that can really be said of the Spectrum's feeble monophonic beeper.

Happy birthday, C64!

Wow. Under the disguise of a pseudo-charity, Craigslist just revealed it's true intentions. They foolishly just opened themselves up to a lot of hate and possibly gave people a huge reason to try out competitors. This may be the beginning of the end of Craigslist's Empire. This is usually how it starts, users being held hostage, increased control, and decreased satisfaction with the service with no way out due to network effects.

We all believed in Craigslist and this is our reward? WE built up Craigslist to be what it is and now we're held hostage for it? I feel like a fool, why do we keep falling for this? Help the little grow until he becomes king and screws us all.

Incidentally, much as that story does drag on a little in places, it does eventually present a more utopian part of that hypothetical future world -- one where post-scarcity has been embraced, and the technology is used to increase freedom instead of restricting it.

I think I must have been on the edge of the chemistry set rule. One of my uncles bought me one for Christmas, much to the consternation of my slightly overprotective mother, however she let me play with the kit, got me the necessary fuel for the bunsen burner and so on.

However I do feel sorry for kids who have science lessons without a practical, I had two very excellent chemistry teachers who were very happy to get kids involved in chemistry demonstrations (without incident), and an excellent biology teacher who had nothing but trust with arming a bunch of 15 year olds with scalpels.
