I'm not sure where you are getting you impression from but the non technical-professional people I know (including students, young professionals and other "target market" people) all seriously consider and sometimes buy a <350euro, "netbook." They travel well, look cute and mostly do everything people need them to do.

The things to copy from Apple is not the sticker policy or the price or any other specific. What (some, not all) companies could copy is principles. "Insist on a high margin and take risks to build products that can command them." It's not the only good strategy out there. Others (eg Samsung) are doing great work with a value-for-money-at-the-higher-end strategy.
There are kinds of impact beyond revenue.

Consider the fact that the president of the United States found it worthwhile to take time more than once during crucial part of his campaign to go to Reddit. Reddit may very well had a large role to play in his upset over Hilary Clinton last time as well.

While saying this, I feel like this was the GMAT, and this audio a analysis of the essay thing. I felt that towards the end the objective of this "preview" was to draw people's interest into buying the rest of the essay, clearly enough that is the objective of any preview. But to me, I would say, it failed in drawing me, because:

1. The audio only established the set-pieces but didn't actually even gave the glimpse of the whole essay, what I did get a glimpse of was the highly rhetoric sense in which it was presented.

2. The audio ended abruptly, at the world literally, meaning, it was a half effort at making an audio preview, and there was no quality check, which I would expect, if the site is not that popular.

In one sentence, I'm interested to know what truth is, but I wasn't actually given a glimpse of his views on truth.

Apart this, I would like to wish them luck in their efforts, seems like a good platform with a unique approach to podcast. But somehow I felt, that it would take more than that to draw me (a last.fm fan) just yet.

Android is leaking all over the place. Into consoles, TVs, Cameras. I may be naive, but it seems to be just a few small tweaks and a few dozen good apps from being a better-than-chromeOS netbook OS.

Android (or some other tablet/mobile OS) might eat the netbook market.

Yes, desktop PCs are much faster than an EC2 instance

Maybe Linode or Rackspace (or other solution) is better for your case.

Still, apparently for your case you can just add more servers according to demand, which is the advantage of EC2

It really depends on what are you doing with your drupal site. How complex is it. What modules are you using...

But in general, no, I don't think it would be very easy. I would start afresh if I had to do it. The question is, do you have to?
I also get sceptical when I read lifestyle-changing formula posts such as this because there's usually never any indication of time/duration.

my parents did put some restrictions on mine at first, but they weren't hardly enforced, so gradually, I felt that they weren't restrictions, they were guidelines, and I should follow them myself, gradually, the timing thing didn't stick, I still call friends at 0200 at night, but only when I know, that it won't make me loose on my commitments the day after.

in the end, I can cut those restrictions, not at the cost of things that are a good for me, but for the cost of things I can do without once or twice, like 1-2 hours of sleep, which I can just cover up later.

I am traveling a lot to places where pickpocketing is a regular occurrence (many parts of Africa, most of the time, but also South America and some parts of eastern Europe) and never had anything stolen from me. I attribute that to the (perceived?) fact that I am generally watchful and look at people alot. I never put anything valuable at easy to reach pockets and I am very watchful of my personal distance. My theory is that when dealing with professional thieves, you only have to be a harder target than anyone else on the same place. Still, I would expect any decent pickpocket to be able to steal from me - so I never carry anything which I cannot replace easily.

Then again, I never had the opportunity to actually validate that way of thinking.

I'm a very reluctant laptop user, I don't like them one bit. They're expensive, they break and then you can't get the parts or you can barely service them yourself.

And yet I love my little acer aspire one. It's been all over the planet with me, has taken considerable abuse. Does 3G out of the box and even after some years of pretty hard use still has ample battery life (but that must be luck because I keep reading bad stories about the batteries). It absolutely refuses to be killed, believe me I tried.

I definitely would not call it garbage, though this may well be an instance of survivor bias. I run ubuntu NBR on it (an old one, it just works so I didn't bother upgrading it) and I would not trade it for a larger laptop or a tablet. I haven't been this satisfied about a computer since I had a compaq aero. Which I think qualifies as the original netbook (ok, you'd have to add pcmcia ethernet for that and it would be terribly slow).
A few months ago I quit Twitter after being a fairly heavy user (24k tweets in ~4yrs). I found one of my now-best IRL friends on Twitter, and a lot of other people I care/d about.

But more and more, it seemed to create an emptiness in me. Or more to the point, it brought the existing emptiness to the surface. There's a kind of desperation there, with everyone clamouring to be less lonely.

It also occupied too much of my thought process. I'd find myself subconsciously rephrasing thoughts into 140 character chunks. It was weird.

I'm still half tempted to go back, and try and to see if I can maintain the relationships without the downsides. I'm not too confident though.

and it will scrub the pools every 6 days (and send you a report in the daily run output).
9 Seriously Dumb Things Clients Say to Designers

Sounds interesting, but I have doubts about utilitarian arguments too. Why not check out Rothbard's "For a New Liberty"? It's in audio form for free here:

https://mises.org/media.aspx?action=category&ID=87

Chapter 12. The Public Sector, III: Police, Law, and the Courts is particularly impressive.

EDIT: Here is Rothbard's amusing argument against utilitarianism:

"Let us consider a stark example: Suppose a society which
fervently considers all redheads to be agents of the Devil and therefore to be executed whenever found. Let us further
assume that only a small number of redheads exist in any generation—so few as to be statistically insignificant. The utilitarian-libertarian might well reason: “While the murder of isolated redheads is deplorable, the executions are small in number; the vast majority of the public, as non-redheads,achieves enormous psychic satisfaction from the public execution of redheads. The social cost is negligible, the social, psychic benefit to the rest of society is great; therefore, it is right and proper for society to execute the redheads.” The natural-rights libertarian, overwhelmingly concerned as he is for the
justice of the act, will react in horror and staunchly and
unequivocally oppose the executions as totally unjustified
murder and aggression upon non-aggressive persons. The consequence of stopping the murders — depriving the bulk of society of great psychic pleasure — would not influence such a libertarian, the “absolutist” libertarian, in the slightest. Dedicated to justice and to logical consistency, the natural-rights libertarian cheerfully admits to being “doctrinaire,” to being, in short, an unabashed follower of his own doctrines."
Interesting. A couple of years ago any new app would see a huge boost on the first few days due to being on the latest/new app list. Now that Google expanded their lists, new apps lose visibility.
First, if you use C libraries, you can't just compile on OS A and copy to OS B. I'm not 100% sure but while Go has much better cross-compiling story than others, I believe net/http does uses OS's C library and therefore cannot be cross-compiled that easily.

Also, you have to copy the assets (templates and such) and if you're deploying a new version of a web app, you don't just overwrite the binary. My script makes sure that if something goes wrong (i.e. a new version doesn't work or has a bug), it's easy for me to revert to previous version.

That being said, none of that implies that Go makes deployment harder (or easier, for that matter) than deploying code in other languages would be. It's pain in the ass but nothing that I couldn't solve in a day with a script written with Fabric.
My heart felt feelings for you my friend, your that kind of man, which I want to be, someone who has truly lived the saying:

I disagree heavily - converting a game design into a working game in less than a day means that all of the real work was done by an automated tool. You can build houses the same way - an architect designs a house and then it gets duplicated into a suburb with all the houses looking nearly identical. House prices plummet and nobody wants to live there unless they can't afford better.

So sure, you could have a functional game in an hour off some automated process... but it's not going to be art, and it's probably not going to be fun to see the 3rd game come off that tool, let alone the 300th.

Webcomics work because there is no automation. You start with a blank page and you create everything on that page by hand directly from your imagination. Games that do the same (unique indie and older games, such as minecraft or king's quest) are always far far better than some auto generated box2d jumping game that are all the rage these days. These little quick games are fun for all of 2 minutes before you close them and never look back.
>it isn't quite like one is the successor of the other.

Given the current price of hard drives, I don't get how "twice the parity space" can even matter. Furthermore, modern RAID controllers perform almost exactly the same using RAID-5 or RAID-6 (verified on most 3Ware, LSI, Adaptec and Areca controllers).

So yes, RAID-6 definitely is RAID-5 successor.

> how to deal with that scenario.

RAID is not an alternative to backup and never was. You deal with that scenario through proper backup or replication.
This is why I like Twitter better than Facebook. In Twitter, people who follow you are really interested on what you want to say while in FB you're forced to listen to your friends (by default).

Then when you feel lonely you would just send an update to these people to listen to your feelings. Which are the people who wanted to listen to you to begin with.

Some of them might be your friends or acquaintances or just complete strangers. But the best part is they followed you and they want to hear from you.
I want to explore the world, spending less money and having more fun – 1
Storage might not include backups and redundancy. In case of archive.org you could easily assume 4-5 drives per drive for that. They might also take power consumption, installation, space etc into account.

I feel, some of those things are only ways of negotiating for normal people, call them dumb, and would they work with you? People like to feel confident when they buy something, most of those people that approach web designers, don't know much about computers, if they did, they would have worked their way around photoshop tutorials. So yeah, you don't want them to know that, so yeah, sometimes you have to just say no politely, but maybe its a good idea to put up with it as well sometimes.
Defective APC charge regulator apparently. To be honest they were good and their insurance paid out very quickly to both us and the site owners.
The demo doesn't seem to be working correctly.
Your math, while precise, is meaningless.

I probably could have gotten away with paying $0 if I didn't care about the best performance.

App Engine is distributed. You get one front-end instance for free. The more front-end instances you spin up, the lower the latency for your requests (consider a fron-end instance a process, the more processes you have, the more requests you can handle in parallel, which lowers latency for each request).

All the money was spent on additional (3, I believe, front-end instances).

Was the price high? Yes, which is one reason I switched to a $60/month kimsufi server which hosts the blog and still has 99% of capacity free for other things.

It's possible I was over-paying. I'm not an App Engine expert. I picked the number of instances more on a gut-basis than a comprehensive analysis basis. I could afford it so it wasn't a big deal.
Professionally: that I'd been unhappy in my job for months, if not years, without realising it. If my brain was in denial though, my body knew it, and one day I was physically unable to goto work. That pain caused a life pivot for me, and I can't wait to find out what doors it will open next.

Personally: that you can still love someone, but not be able to live with them.
Oh, that's easy. Classic case described by Mises and probably before too. He imagines he's going to choose which parts are ignored and which aren't, or if he's more modest, he imagines somebody else which would be, by weird coincidence, agreeing with him on all counts except for some minor unimportant details.

The good test for such concept is to ask such person to identify most unpleasant, unattractive, disgusting political figure, that holds views absolutely abhorrent to him and see if he still supports this case if that person if put in charge of choosing which part of the Constitution to ignore and which freedoms are unnecessary to have. Somehow they never think that would happen.

That's why I am for limited government - I'd probably love to have government that does exactly what I want. But I know that would never happen, so I'd rather have one that does not give bad people in power ability to do too much of bad things. And anybody having any knowledge of history knows bad people in power happen way more often than one would like.
Previously I saw a project which used a scanning pan-tilt head to collect data, but they used a narrow beam temperature sensor: MLX90614ESF-DCI which includes a black metal barrel.

> RAID5 is perfectly fine in most instances.

If you're using low capacity, enterprise class SAS drives, mostly, yes. However when using large capacity SATA drives, it most definitely isn't.

SATA drives (even "enterprise" SATA drives) have an official unrecoverable error rate of 1/10^14. From my experience, the truth is more like 1/10^13.

10^13 bits is roughly 10 terabytes. That means that every time you're reading 10 TB, you are statistically certain to encounter an unrecoverable bit error (and have a 1% chance of having 100 errors, of course). In the case of a rebuilding 10 TB array (only a couple 3 or 4 TB drives) using RAID-5, that means that you're almost sure to have an ECC error that will prevent you from ever rebuilding properly without corruption.
Have you considered that you might be the strange one? You see somebody do something "weird", immediately categorize them, cut communication, and move on... That's a pretty small and boring world to live in.

If I saw OP do his thing, I'd laugh and say "give me my straw back you weirdo", he'd explain and that would be that.
Many constitutions allow suspension of many rights in times of war or things like that. You just have to be careful though, cause that's how Germany became a totalitarian dictatorship.
Only when the array is mostly empty. For several years hardware RAID controllers have been rebuilding only used space, too. Really, ZFS isn't that much of the miracle some want it to be.
They probably replaced the lid assembly whereas most vendors you can replace the panel with little effort (I did it on my ThinkPad in 30 minutes with the wrong tools for the job :)

Considering the SSD and battery have the shortest lifespan of all components I can't fathom why they decided to make them non replaceable. Even in worst case scenarios, it's a recyclers nightmare.
Why? Are you afraid of causing a PR nightmare for the country's tourism office? :-P
Yes. I think the author is exactly wrong. The problem is not that we are too bound to the Constitution; it's that we allow violations of it at all. Constitutional violations like warrentless wiretapping should get an entire administration ousted overnight.

If the Constitution is wrong in some areas, amend it. If you can't get enough people to agree that it's wrong, well, it sucks to be on the losing side of a vote, but democracy doesn't mean everyone always gets their way.

It's supposed to be hard to change the fundamental laws of a land, because we want to be able to rely on them. Gridlock is another word for stability.

>> Freedom of speech and religion, equal protection of the laws and protections against governmental deprivation of life, liberty or property are important, whether or not they are in the Constitution. We should continue to follow those requirements out of respect, not obligation.

We should, yes. We should follow them whether they were in the Constitution or not. We also should refrain from stealing and murder. But I, for one, want consequences for those who don't.
Like vim?
Speed is pretty important.

Compiler telling you about a bug because you have a typo in your code (as opposed to blowing up at runtime, sometimes in a way that you won't notice) is also important.

Struct definition is also a documentation of your data. Another developer (or you a month from now) doesn't have to go back and re-read, say, Redit API docs. He (or you) can just re-read definition of the struct and know all the data that a given JSON request provides. That's nice.

An editor can parse the struct definition and give you auto-complete, which is also nice.
That might be viable, but I can imagine that wikipedia receives a large portion of it's donations from the charitable perspective that donating to wikipedia equals furthering human knowledge. Or something to that effect.

Reddit... well it's mainly a time sink.
The best use of a netbook is as a bedbook - it's the laziest way of surfing the web, just balance it on a thin pillow on your chest, attach a trackball mouse, and you can burn almost no calories for hours on end!
I wouldn't really vouch for "the rest", but Constitution so far held the government from infringing on many rights of the citizens - such as free speech, self-defense, etc. - that are commonly infringed in many European nations, for example. It does not mean it was perfect - many rights were still massively infringed and usurped, Constitution is ultimately nothing but an idea and people should still stand behind it for it to be effective - but it fared better than without it.
Great point, but at the time I didn't feel like running to the store to buy one at 6:00 PM on New Year's Eve. I very well might still do exactly what you are saying!

I'm really, really interested in the future of content publishing and how things will look fifty years from now. There's a trend across almost all forms of media towards easier, faster, wider and less expensive production and distribution. This is a Good Thing, but it introduces some interesting problems.

One of the main roles of traditional publishing is content curation. This seemed less important in the past when it simply seemed a byproduct of media products (books, tv shows, films etc.) being expensive to produce and distribute. But now, it's becoming clearer that curation is going to become a difficult problem to solve when it's trivial for people to publish their own product on the same platform as internationally successful content authors.

Sturgeon's law applies. In fact, it applies more now than ever because the minimum bar of quality has been lowered. How are we going to navigate something like the Kindle store as vastly increasing proportions of it become saturated with garbage?

I know curation is kind of a buzzword in startup circles at the moment, but it's vastly, vastly important. As a trivial aside, in another tab I'm reading a thread where people recommend the best little-known free software they use. Most of the top replies recommend a single software, most of which I then took a look at. One of them is a list of perhaps 20 softwares; my eyes glazed over and I moved on to the next reply.
>I believe net/http does uses OS's C library and therefore cannot be cross-compiled that easily

For whatever it's worth, I think CGO is only needed for native DNS resolution. If you (cross-)compile with CGO_ENABLED=0, then net/* will fall back to a pure Go DNS resolver, for which the only requirement is a valid /etc/resolv.conf on the target system.

Your comment would be much better if you actually outlined what is the correct approach here and summarized what Hume said that you think is important in this particular case. Somehow just saying "I know much more than you, so shut up" and "Go read the Internet^W^WHume" is not very convincing by itself. I personally am willing to believe you spent a lot of time studying the relevant history and possess major insights which other people do not. But why don't you share some of them instead of just claiming you have them?
