As recruter says, storage is a commodity. If google raises its prices you could easily move your files onto another service.
We've been overbooked for years and while it can be very stressful at times it is of course better than having no work. The reality is that we sometimes come in late on delivery but in the end our clients like us, stick with us and refer us because they like our work and the end-product is good.

Two points I would add to the discussion are:

1) that in addition, or in lieu of raising rates consider lengthening the project time-line. You can often push a project out further in time which both softens the expectations and gives you more time to deliver quality and deal with more iterations.

2) to take the time to feel out the client. If you are really in demand and becoming overbooked the LAST thing you want is a terrible client who can potential swamp your resources. Work only with people who will respect you and your team and never settle on this even if it means you can make more money. It can be worth the extra 2 or 3 meetings before a work agreement to see if you will have a productive relationship before committing to the project. Being over-busy is a great opportunity to be picky about the projects you decide to take on.

What the creator and others are finding offensive is that a character largely defined by her resistance to such things and a desire to be independent (in many senses) is being primarily presented by Disney in a typical stereotyped, dolled up fashion entirely contrary to that intent.

> Mining (generating hashes) does not, to my knowledge, actually operate the network.

You're incorrect. The proof-of-work requirement is integral to the Bitcoin network, because it makes fraud unprofitable. The amount of computation required to create a block chain longer than the honest one should cost more than the potential benefits of doing so. That said, as far as I know, any proof-of-work algorithm could be used as long as a large portion of clients adopted it, so it should be possible to use work that is useful in itself.
Re:publica 2013 - Karsten Becker, Robert Böhme: Hell Yeah, it's Rocket Science

First of all, what a disorganized article. Who the hell edited this?

Secondly, the article surmises that the kernel is the problem, which seems right. Then it makes a leap to state that the way to do this is to write your own driver.

Who said? I certainly don't agree. You are still running a multi-user kernel, but you've now sacrificed its stability by running a parallel network stack. Linux wasn't written to work in that way and it's hard to know what you're getting into when you subvert your OS in that way. This article would be much better if it talked about other options out there. For example..

Why not take out the middle-man entirely with something like OpenMirage (http://www.openmirage.org/)? Get rid of the lowest-common-denominator performance you get using a general-purpose OS and make your application the OS. Link in whatever OS-like services (network, filesystem, etc) you may need. Talk to the hardware directly without going through a middle-man and without ugly hacks.
While I appreciate you sharing this, I'm shocked that you would do it from your real account. Don't you feel any shame for your actions?

Where did I say there's a hidden agenda? It's not hidden, it's front and center.

subconsciously, they are soaking in the sexy 'come hither' look and the skinny aspect of the new version. It's horrible! Merida was created to break that mold — to give young girls a better, stronger role model, a more attainable role model, something of substance, not just a pretty face that waits around for romance."
Short version: If you offer users a discount for paying yearly instead of monthly, why not generalize that and give them a slider to choose how often they'll pay. Every 2 months, every 6 months, every year, every 2 years, every 5 years, ... You can even let them pay once for a lifetime subscription. We made a little demo of it and give the equations for computing the discounts perfectly fairly for any payment frequency.

It's pretty great (if your users happen to be huge nerds)!

>> What makes you think she didn't see this coming? What makes you think she was naive about it? The article certainly doesn't suggest she wasn't.

Personally, I think she knew it could happen but hoped it wouldn't. But she made her deal with the devil - make the movie and lose the rights, or not make the movie at all.

Also, let's not forget that she will still make money from the changes to the character -- if Disney's research proves to be right, she'll actually be making more money from those changes than she would have pre-change.

The creator's actually in a pretty good position, she can complain about the change while potentially making more profits from them.

Initial reaction: the homepage has too much abstract marketing verbiage, e.g. "Do Less. Achieve more" and "Boost your productivity."

What you failed to answer with your homepage is exactly what the product is and what exactly you're trying to solve. Unless I am genuinely interested or came to your site via a referral, I'm most likely not going to stick around to read the copy beyond what's in the hero, let alone view the screenshots further down the page (which BTW loads unbelievably slow).

Be direct and to the point. Clearly show what your product is without pouring the marketing gravvy all over it.

Other than that, the product itself looks great, though the design reminds me very much of outlook.com. Good luck!

I don't think the point is that Disney has the right to do it (in fact, this director was booted midway through production), but that what Disney is doing is stupid and disheartening. And before anyone jumps to say "duh, his is what corporates do", I would say that Disney is actually a usually a pretty good steward of creative vision and characterization.
Mythic Beasts: How we dealt with those DDoS attacks against Raspberry Pi
If you really want the world to be a more secure place, can I please ask that you relicense the AndroidPinning code as BSD or something less viral than GPLv3?

I don't see Instagram, Facebook, etc. using that code to secure their apps, they won't license their Android clients as GPLv3 just to use the Android pinning library. While it is easy enough to re-create your code (though I have not looked at it), given that we're talking encryption libs, it's always nicest to have secure, vetted libs that just work.

(As a matter of fact, I'm sure you had to relicense it for Twitter to use it in their app.)
This is so true! If someone of no status made a joke, most people would likely said he's stupid. But if the same joke was made by Warren Buffet, the whole world would be 'amazed' by his wit.
Well, it's slower because of a join that exists in SQL (the relationship between your 'field/value' table and the entry. Apart from that, as you said indexes are similar.

I'm positively sure there are enough "girly girls" among the eleven Disney Princesses (read: ten Princesses) that one tomboy should not be a big deal.

The only Princess that comes close to Merida in this regard is probably the one I grew up with: Mulan. But Mulan is portrayed as being so beautiful that it almost doesn't matter that she's clumsy and headstrong because her beauty alone would carry her a far way. To a very plain (then) girl this was still a pretty awful message and instead I resorted to reading books that didn't tell me that I had to fit a specific mold I wanted no part of. Now I get to watch Merida and watch my friends' kids watch Merida and I'm glad they have a mainstream choice that tells them it's okay not to be one of the other ten Princesses.

There is nothing wrong with giving kids a choice. If anything, changing Merida to fit the usual Princess mold is pushing girls to believe that "girly girl" is the norm and tomboys are unacceptable.
I disagree. Language is about expressiveness, simplification in language is about reducing expressiveness which is neither normal nor natural, nor a good thing. Basically, thinking of UI as a language in order to make sweeping statements about simplification is a really bad idea.

When I AM in vim and I need to, for example, delete some large number of lines, I find myself trying to guess how many lines, but guess on the small size. Then I guess again, until I get close enough to see the exact number.

That's my biggest issue using vim, the need to count lines before every operation. I keep getting the feeling I'm doing something wrong when I do that. Sometimes I just break down and use visual selection mode to select the text and delete the whole group, much like I'd do in another editor.

Is there something I'm missing about having to count before doing operations in vim?

Eh, a little bit. I'm not in the black-hat world anymore, and I'm pretty sick of people pretending like they're magicians or rocket scientists because they can rank something. Google has a system, you beat the system, that's it.

In my mind it's really difficult to differentiate between what most people call "white-hat" SEO and what I used to do ("black-hat"). White hat SEO (which is basically posting links in forums, blog comments, etc.) is trying to manipulate Google's search engine manually, black-hat is automating it and doing it at scale.

I'm not a fan of Disney princess line and cringe when friends get our daughter gifts from it. However, the kids seem to like it and I don't worry much otherwise, as we keep contact limited.

So I tend to understand the aggravation of the author. But, it feels like an over-reaction here (though it may be the article's tone). I didn't feel outraged despite the article and comments here expecting/demanding me to be.

I had to look hard at the picture. Looks like they threw Merida in the bathtub, and put her in a nice dress and eye-color for the "ball." But, when the Princesses get together that's how they get dressed up, for a party, no? Evening wear is expected and appropriate in that situation. Is Merida supposed to show up for the Oscars in riding-chaps and bow?

If this is the only representation of Merida from now on, I'd agree with the anger. But, even tomboys would dress up for a ball, even if they felt a bit itchy. They would get a lot of compliments too. That's how the world works, folks. Men have to fit into expectations too--the suit/tuxedo is ridiculous at < 35 degrees latitude.

So, I feel no outrage for her to have a bit of range. From the fox-hunt to the royal ball. Even if she'd be a bit uncomfortable, we all have obligations to society.

Real Estate or Utility? Surging Data Center Industry Blurs Boundaries
I think the biggest problem that Google can't fix is that they treat links as a voting mechanism, and that voting mechanism has value. So, there is a big economic incentive to "buy votes" by buying links.

As long as there is a financial incentive to ranking well in google and that the mechanism to rank better is to get links, people with money will buy links in the same way they buy influence in the media, politics, etc.

Most institutions that have a real supercomputer also has clusters that are used for tasks that does not need fast interconnect. The reason is that there is quite some tasks that does not need fast interconnection, and for those a cluster is OK, and a cluster costs a fraction of a supercomputer.

Tasks in bioinformatics "decoding human genome" is typically of this type, and are generally performed on clusters, even if a supercomputer is available. Where I used to study, applications for CPU time at the supercomputer for workloads that could run on a cluster was generally rejected, and directed to the clusters instead.
Well, he's mostly suggesting using a user-space networking stack provided by your vendor (Intel's DPDK). But writing your own userspace driver from scratch is actually very simple -- I've done it for Intel's 1Gbps and 10Gbps cards before the DPDK was made publicly available. We're talking ~1000 lines of user-space code, and less than a month of work. Writing your own userspace networking stack is of course more complicated, depending on exactly which level of protocol support you need. Supporting say ARP or EtherChannel is trivial, while a production quality and interoperable TCP stack will be man-years of work.

But having written systems doing 10M TCP connections at 10Gbps, I strongly believe that you want to relegate the kernel into the role of a management system. Having the system split across the kernel and user-space will lead to unacceptable performance, pretty much no matter where you split things. And having the full application in the kernel would be a nightmare for development, debugging, and deployment. (And I sure as hell am not going to choose a pre-alpha research project over Linux as the base of telecoms systems.)
