By vague I mean that there is no guarantee that babies die, just because I'm not vaccinated. It's not even very likely. Taking the probability of damages due to vaccination into account, we are trading one person's safety against the safety of a baby that shouldn't be in the public as long as it is too vulnerable. So maybe the parents of that baby should be liable at first. Nobody will ever be able to guarantee a germ-free world out there.
That's an interesting hack for MPI, but I don't think it would be worth the complexity of implementing it. There are two possible use cases here:

One: You're testing multiple VMs on one box to simulate a network. This is a sane use case, but a bit of overhead from network latency isn't going to kill you. It definitely isn't worth the effort of messing around with faking your network.

Two: You're trying to wring whatever performance you can out of a single box. In this case, you can ditch the VMs, and just run your MPI nodes as threads or processes on the local machine, using far faster and more efficient transports than TCP.

Also, in this specific case, note that the instances are not necessarily on the same machine.
It's a problem when I lack the proficiency to even create gradients in photoshop! However, I can create gradients all day with CSS.

rsync is an order of magnitude faster than rm -rf. Why would be? (ok, I'm being lazy).
I'm not that technical, so the GUI really helped me get started. Having one Sync button is useful because you don't have to remember to pull before you push.

The Github app is actually not my favorite Git GUI, Gitbox is (http://gitboxapp.com/).
FWIW, a directory with millions of files is likely to be quite large (I'm referring to the directory inode itself, which contains a mapping of filenames to inodes). Depending upon the file system, reclaiming the space used by all those millions of mappings might require creating a new directory into which to move the remaining files.

BTW, having millions of files in an ext3 directory in the first place is probably a bad idea. Instead, layer the files into two or three directory levels. See here:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2007-August/msg000...

(Git for example places its objects under 1 of 256 directories based on the first hex byte representation of the object's SHA-1.)
Interesting, but looks very US-centric to me.

Death's != property damage. Even the 10th most expensive hurricane to hit the US did 10billion in property damage with Katrina hitting 108 billion.

Consider the 9.0 that hit japan in 2011. Despite 129,225 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 254,204 buildings 'half collapsed', and another 691,766 buildings partially damaged it killed under 20,000 people.

That said, we have invested a lot to drive the death totals down in large part because earthquakes and hurricanes are fairly common. In comparison we are spending far to much on terrorism and far to little on the rare but civilization ending mega disasters.
That is very odd. Hard to answer w/o looking at the code or using strace. On some filesystems, the directory entry is a linked list of names with pointers to inodes. Maybe rsync optimizes in such a way as to require traversing the list the least amount of times? I'm just thinking out loud here...
In the general case yes, I think you are right.

It is however fairly easy to conceive of scenarios where an individuals inability to understand risks posed by their actions becomes very blurred with a refusal to understand the risks.

Typhoid Mary for example was informed numerous times that she was posing a risk and the fact that they were able to re-find her after she changed her name by following her carnage should have been proof enough to her that they were probably right. I think you could make a reasonable case that Typhoid Mary had a depraved indifference to the risk to human life, even though she claimed to not believe the doctors.

Edit:
If you understand herd immunity and decide that you do not care (such as eip here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5802206) then you surely have a depraved indifference to human life. Moreso even than Typhoid Mary could be said to have.
I'd like to see your source for that claim. At first glance it seems that popularity of Camino, both among its developers and its users, has been declining for years.

A big counter-example is Opera Software switching away from their own engine to WebKit/Blink.
I'm guessing it's because rsync collects a list of files first and then deletes them rather than interleaving the two operations. This would mean latency not getting in the way as much as the read head switches between the filesystem index and the inodes themselves.

But that's just a guess.
That's not the number the parent is talking about. The question is how many people are commuting out of the city, not the difference between in and out.
This is very cool, nice job.
Do you have any evidence that immigration or diversity is the cause of social strife? The U.S. prison population is hugely disproportionately African American. The U.S. has not had a large influx of immigrants from Africa in more than a century (for the obvious reason). Our prisoners are by and large not immigrants, or the children of immigrants, or the grandchildren of immigrants. They're the homegrown domestic American poor.
Who is liable when the child gets sick from the vaccine? It happens. Rarely, but in this country we are supposed to protect the minority and the freedom of choice against coersion, which this is.
In fact I have mug shotted my posts before and if you switch the picture to a picture of something other than a face Google seems to penalize you.

Was an interesting experiment and one that I would like to take further.
There is an error in the blog posting. If you look at the original output from the rsync command, you will see that the elapsed time should be 12.42 seconds and the system time should be 10.60 seconds. Elapsed time is a third that of rm -rf and system time is 70% as much.
And privacy will be will called the P word, it will be offending to people when you keep things to your self.
You are making a lot of assumptions, which seem taylored to bolster a particular worldview, rather than be based in fact. In particular, you assume

1. People differ vastly in their innate ability to follow societal rules.

2. The justice system is able to distinguish between people who make simple mistakes, and people who are unable to follow society rules.

3. The above is a big factor in sentencing.

While there is evidence that some aspects of behavior are innate, there is also a huge literature linking the environment a person is raised in, and their tendency towards crime. Furthermore, sentencing is generally extremely inconsistent by any standards, so it is very unlikely that sentencing would fit your criteria for being lenient to the right people. Finally, it's hard to think of sentencing criteria that fit the criteria you propose, and are also objective.
No mention of filesystem. As it's RHEL 5.4 I'm going to guess ext3, which uses indirect blocks instead of extents for large files (which a directory containing millions of files surely is). Would also be useful to confirm that dir_index is enabled.

"If you are hiring an external SEO agency, make sure they are providing you with complete transparency into everything they are doing."

Being someone who is not a SEO expert, I find it very hard to distinguish black hat from white hat techniques beyond simple basics. In software development there has arisen certain schools of thought for want of a better word, 'Agile' and 'Software craftsmanship' being two examples.

I would love for someone to put a name to their philosophical approach to SEO. Making it easier for practitioners and non practitioners alike to align behind professional approaches in a more informed manner.

It seems to me that there are a bunch of SEO techniques anyone could use but that most people would consider to be immoral or unethical, this is not a question of skill but rather willingness to act with a low ethical bar.

I seems to me that google is very keen to penalize unethical techniques in the long term and so long term practitioners and clients who take a white hat approach should gain greater success with less risk over time.

My challenge to practitioners who wish to set themselves apart ethically is that you come together and create a whitehat SEO Manifesto. What defines your values around doing to SEO? What are you NOT prepared to do?

If the baby was killed by something that you, a willfully unvaccinated person (or your child, who you willfully did not vaccinate), were carrying, and the source of the infection can be said be you (or your child) more likely than not, then that should be more than enough for a civil trial. Were we talking about criminal charges, then the evidence would need to be stronger.

In reality, we can track the progression of disease much better than "more likely than not". This is something that we have gotten quite good at doing.

The importance of "100% guarantees" exists only in your imagination. Nothing in the real world works that way.

Is it that all your personal information is in one place that makes this so unique or is it the enormity of the data?
First use (actual use, not intent to use) in commerce matters. A lot. And it seems like Doz has that. Also, they already own their mark (they did register it, seems there's confusion on that in this thread too). I know a guy that deals in this kind of thing literally every day - and after reviewing the marks and filings at uspto he says it's a pretty long shot that Moz will get the Doz mark removed. (actually he said "no way will Doz lose their mark") So unless those first use facts aren't actual facts....well I reckon we'll all wait and see how this plays out.

Someone somewhere in this thread asked for an example of a similar situation. I can personally speak to that. Long ago and far away I worked at a software company and we developed a web based traffic analytics platform - pre webtrends even! Anyhoo we didn't register the mark for it (young!) and we were contacted by someone who was trying to get their mark (same exact product name, similar functionality - a web traffic analytics program) registered. They told us we had to stop using the name, blah blah blah because they owned the trademark. Well, they actually didn't - yet. And we had first use in commerce. So we opposed their application, it was denied, we filed ours (which they of course opposed), but we ultimately owned the mark. Solely because of first use in commerce.

I don't know every detail of this unfortunate scenario, but from what I've read here and on the blog post, it's not at all a slam dunk for Moz. And it's unfortunate that they, and the Doz folks are having to spend time, energy and money on this.

To me the benefits of herd immunity dramatically outweigh the consequences of minor side effects from vaccines. The immunocompromised have few options other than to rely on the rest of us to get vaccinated.

Do you use planes? Do you watch television? Do you have a computer or drive a car? Do you have electricity in your home? Do you live in a furnished and comfortable building? Do you have plenty of quality food in your pantry and refrigerator? Do you have and wear clothing and shoes? Do you love getting your cup of coffee in the morning? Do you buy goods on Amazon and at Walmart? Do you go out to restaurants occasionally?

That was all rhetorical. My real question: do you honestly believe the government made that all happen? Mostly happen?

Because the answer is no. You fly in planes because people were free to invest in and create airlines. You watch television because someone had the ingenuity to broadcast, receive, and display moving pictures, and other people were free to use this idea and freely pursue the enterprise of creating television and content to display on it. Etc. etc.

So doing an actual proper A/B split test is next to impossible due to a number of different factors but time and time again one of the quickest ways I have been able to boost SEO traffic to a site without doing a single thing to the rankings was to implement things like the authorship markup or other kinds of Microdata that triggers the rich snippets.

I totally take your point on board about finding the results looking like ads to you but from everything I have seen to date you would firmly be in the minority. Don't under estimate how "not informed" most people are. There is still a very very sizeable portion of users who can't distinguish things the other way around and think that the ads are organic results.

But if you are going for increasing traffic across the board and you don't specifically target some niche like say the HN crowd who find it weird or spammy, I would say Authorship and Rich Snippets are absolutely the way to go.

My only caveat is that I wouldn't be putting it across the whole site. Like JitBit have done with the stuff on their product pages. That might legitimately confuse some people in certain instances and it's really not what it was designed for in the first place. Blogs and news content though is perfect and as I said, works consistently well in all of my experiences and those of everyone else I know in the industry.

Is that really the case for the flu vaccines that they have to make 'on the fly' specific to each flu season and the new strains out there?

What about the other vaccines mentioned here, where children get 3 or 4 vaccines at once by convention? How do you know which ones are causing adverse reactions?

It doesn't read like he was fired or quit in disgust, so what's a hypothesis that could explain the connection?
For Typhoid Mary, yes. But for most of the cases, you'd have a much harder standard to meet.

Here is an interesting problem. Suppose that we trace a disease through 5 unvaccinated children from the one who picked it up in a foreign country, to the one who passed it on to the baby who died. Who is liable? All 5? The one who passed it on? The one who went to a foreign country while unvaccinated?
How is this bait and switch? The COO of SEOmoz told them that they were going to have a conflict. Now they have a conflict. It seems like it's exactly what was advertised on the packaging.
When a crime or accident happens in the future the first responders will be (quad?) copter camera drones to record information, provide crowd control, and record the scene for possible wrongdoers at the scene or fleeing. Other drones may be used to deliver vital emergency medications/equipment from local hospitals to accident/disaster scenes.

So build drones that:

a) have proper sirens lights, etc

b) can fly to any street address and canvas the area visually and communicate with people on the scene

c)and be stored and launched from neighborhood automated deployment stations

There is only the scantest evidence Google is putting in a wholehearted effort to make ChromeOS touch friendly, never mind telephony-friendly. A few years ago there was a tablet mock-up leaked. It never made it to market.
I think the author has missed something. The first result wasn't a typical organic link. It was a Google+ enhanced link i.e. it mentions "this person in 30 Google+ circles".

From my personal perspective when I see a link like that I won't click it. Because I assume that it is going to a Google+ page which like Facebook pages will have general and not context-specific content. That and the fact that showing a person's photo makes it seem like it is a "one man" operation as opposed to a successful company.
You might miss this now as it's late, but the screen shot of your traffic results doesn't include the page '/macro-recorder' in the section titled 'It's not that simple'. That's the page you were talking about in the paragraphs above in the article, that's the page that's still number 1 in google when I search and still has your screenshot next to it when I search for 'macro recorder'.

It's the crux of your argument and it's completely missing, it's the only relevant page, everything else is almost completely irrelevant.

I'm not at all disbelieving you, but I'm also honestly saying you don't really seem to understand the scientific method if you think what you published is good enough to support what you've claimed. It's a half finished investigation, the facts are completely inconclusive.

And that's what undermines a lot of SEO experts opinion still today. Speculation without fact. Your post at the moment is plausible but without the most important serious fact. What traffic were you getting before the picture appeared for that one page, and what traffic were you getting after the picture was added. Can you confirm that you didn't change the meta description or title at all?

Everything else is a distraction to the most basic scientific method and that is what makes the article bad, you've conflated a bunch of different 'symptoms' with one hypothesis.

> Prisons are just the tip of the iceberg.

Some of this has to do with African-Americans who have been living in poverty for generations stretching all the way back to slavery -- a situation which doesn't exist in Iceland.

It also has to do with the US economic policies which promote the flight of low-skill jobs overseas. Not everyone has the intellectual ability to be a doctor or a web developer (especially given our dismal education system), and there are only a limited number of low-skill non-relocatable jobs like food service or retail. Things were much better for people with limited education when labor unions had a monopoly on many unskilled jobs and could set monopoly pricing on wages. Now, with tariffs and high shipping costs no longer keeping manufacturers from moving overseas, competition from workers in desperately poor countries is forcing wages downward; when the going rate for a given job falls below the US minimum wage, those jobs simply disappear from the US entirely.

Unfortunately, global corporations who benefit from the situation have too much influence over US politics, opponents of this aspect of the status quo are too disorganized, and the analysis I outlined above is not widely enough accepted for change to happen in the near term.
I was actually thinking of throwing something like this together at some point because people will continually get burnt by it time and time again.

It's sadly how I saw a lot of money being made in my consulting experience through clearing up other peoples mess.

As I mentioned in the post I am happy to help the guys at JitBit for free to help get them on the right track towards clearing this up because I hate seeing unethical places get away with this kind of crap.

As some very basic and high level advice you can do a couple of things to help yourself out. If you want to get a decent feel for someone before engaging them you should ask them to show you examples of clients they have worked on in the past. Take that URL and run it through a tool like Open Site Explorer, MajesticSEO or Ahrefs.

If it looks even a little bit spammy I would run the other direction because you are about to pay money to hurt yourself which is the worst of both worlds.

If they can't explain to you in a decent amount of detail exactly what they will be doing then you are about to get shafted.
