Until the SJ rules that a law is unconstitutional, it is still a law. When they make a ruling, it stops being a law.

I'm disappointed in the number of people who care more about legal vs illegal than about right vs wrong. Laws can be constitutionally proper and yet wrong.
No. Just saying "well I earn so much, so money is no object" does not make things less wasteful. Paying 2 to 4 times the price for the exact same components is wasteful.

This is like the fella above basically saying "high-end professionals" dont need to be logical anymore.
Wow. That is a crazy story.

It's always funny when people use obscure(?) but interesting anecdotes to make a joke. It sort of shows the breadth of one's knowledge. Well, at least I had never heard of this.
Just like people doing marketing are learning that Facebook likes have little to no impact on the bottom line, we will soon learn that symmetrically cyber shaming is largely just a result of bored people browsing "outrage porn" on tumblr or reddit and a facet of general slacktivism that means little and can usually be safely ignored.

Large companies will always have to avoid controversy but I really hope that everyone else will, thanks in no small part to the Internet, be able to reach their audience and live without carefully policing every line of text in a desperate attempt not to offend the most oppressed minority -- loud people.

Vast majority of those will not be your customers anyway. They simply like to feel righteous without having to leave the house.
You have failed to understand either my or the other "fella"'s points, which is that spending marginally more now saves much more in the long run.

When I was 10 I was at a water park and they had some sort of artificial wave generator in one of the pools. It wasn't until last year (when I first read the article) that I realized that what I experienced in that pool was Instinctive Drowning Response. Naturally I realized at the time that I had been in some sort of trouble, but not that that was drowning. The power of the whole "kicking and screaming" trope, I guess.

One of my classmates from school actually swam by me in the pool (while I was drowning) and tried to get me closer to a rope which was hanging by the pool's edge... and when he failed he promptly swam off and did nothing more. (Not that I think that he realized the full gravity of the situation and simply wanted me to die or anything.)

No, it's either unconstitutional (and illegal) or it isn't. The Supreme Court has the authority to make that judgement at a point in time, but it's judgement applies retroactively to the law or action thereof in question.

> Adamantium?

Sophomore year high school physics time, back of the envelope edition:

Car mass: ~1500kg
Car velocity: lower bound, 80mph? lets call it 35 m/s

Ek = 1/2 mv^2

Wolfram Alpha cheat: .5 * 1500 kg * (35 m/s)^2 = .91 megajoules

Stopping that car with a tree dumps damn near a megajoule of energy somewhere (and that is before you consider the potential energy in the gas!). You can bet your ass a significant portion of that energy is going to be spent rapidly "disassembling" that car.
That's why I think that China, given time, might be in a better position for Mars colonization. Democracy is afraid of bold moves in space, while the Chinese regime will see it as a long-term chance to bolster it's position in the eyes of common people.

"Cars don't "blow up" though they may catch fire."

I don't know what to do about that yet.

If they have a way just to zoom my Web pages,
then they will be okay.

But if they have a big screen with lots of
pixels, then I don't want my Web pages taking
all of that screen. It's better for the
UI/UX for my pages to take less than the
full screen so that my users can see some
other screens while using my site.
Since I rate the chances of it making an actual difference as pretty low - No.
Also, I don't have a clue how to organize SHIT.

And as far as making the world a better place goes, I'm currently looking into the possibility of automated vertical farming with hydro- or aquaponics. Even if I just have a teensy bit of success with that it would probably have a larger impact than organizing protests, an activity about which I know NOTHING.
This is a more compelling argument since it presents actual substance, but it doesn't change what I was saying about the post I was replying to, nor does it change what was posted.

Important to note that I haven't seen anything to say that he had any drugs or alcohol in his system. I haven't read any of the reports. Maybe someone has already done the test and said there wasn't any drugs or alcohol in his blood.
No, there is nothing really special here with respect to performance. It just makes me think back to the SGI O2, Next Cube, the iCube, the Amiga 2000...when computers were more works of art than they are now and not just built from a boring specifications. I'm being a bit sentimental here.

If you want the best bang for the buck, or even the best bang, it still makes sense to go with a boring HP box and not a Mac Pro. Honestly, the only ones who will probably go with the Mac Pro is the high-end photoshop/toaster crowd, or those who want big bangs in small spaces (e.g. Japan), as well as those with too much money and some amount of sentiment, but this is not even mainstream for the workstation market.

Steko, all I'm saying is your post and the followup you made are not very useful because: Strawmen up the wazoo, arguing from hyperbole (Adamantium, Lizard People reference?), of course Google is a thing (this part of your post is a non sequitur).

I assume you are being sarcastic.

The first paragraph:

"There is a moderate Deal: The German Army has ordered the number of helicopters significantly reduced. But is saved by little. As internal documents show the price per helicopter increases by reducing significantly - by 13 million euros."
I'll just say that you, Steko and jlgreco seem pretty invested in presenting the same case, ad nauseum. With that, I have some projects to head off to work on.

Ask HN :How to become a low-end big data consultant?
I want to earn some money for living.

Big Data is booming, and I want to strike the rod while it is hot. Just want to make some money, doing low end consultancy.

I have 2 years of professional python development experience, and freelancing with django/flask.

Big Data will fetch more $s per hour. So I want to shift to big data. Could someone please throw in pointers, as to where should I start, so that at the end of say 2 months, I start doing some low end freelancing on big data plucking some low hanging fruits.

I am not looking for shortcuts, but then I do not want to be researcher. My goals are simple, learn which shall be able to fetch me revenue.

Let me know what and how much, and I shall put in efforts.

It will be good of people to tell me the areas I should focus on, maybe start off with a problem itself, and learn whatever it takes to solve the problem, thus acquiring the skillsets, and using those to charge clients.

Also where would I find clients?

Please let me know, thanks.
Apple's big advantage here is that it certainly hasn't paid rack rate for those "pro" graphics cards. How much of that saving it will pass on to buyers is the question.
I think we need a new paradigm name, something like denotational programming. I think very few people who are into functional programming argue that functions are the right abstraction for expressing every problem, which is why there are things like monads ,which in a sense generalize functions, including the IO monad.

The reason Haskell is such a nice language also for imperative programming is that everything is "tangible", i.e. you can talk about the "action" 'x := x + 1' as a value (in the IO monad), that is, it has a denotation. It also gives you a purely funcitonal way of combining side-effecting actions, rather than having the two worls of pure/stateful merged into one.

I can't wait. I hope they're being honest and this was a genuine error of a third party, and not incompetence on their end.
Good discussion. But all those places
you said that the Executive or Legislative
branches believed something was 'unconstitutional'
and applied that belief to their actions,
really they were just using the powers they
had and could have done the same thing just
saying that they just didn't like the law.
So when such a branch says "unconstitutional"
nice to have their opinion.

When the Supreme Court says "unconstitutional",
that's different because there the court is
using one of their fundamental powers. The court
can't strike down a law just because they
don't like the law.
Seeing this mess again tells me that there's something fundamentally wrong with the web or at least with the standardized technologies that are supposed to solve the problem of frontend development (namely HTML, CSS and JS).

I think the web really needs a fresh start before I would even consider becoming a web developer (I'm a CS student atm)

My best friend (and first co-founder) died in a crash after hitting a tree at 48mph in a BMW 5-series.

I used to hold the same assumptions you did, particularly #'s 4 & 5. In my friend's case, the firewall gave & the engine came into the cockpit & exploded, splitting the driver in half & burning my friend past the point of recovery.

The fireball from the explosion marked the tree, the street, & the lawn for a 20-30 foot radius around the crash site, unbelievable that it could be created by one car.

It made me realize that the engines in these cars are optimized for serious performance and they can only be so safe. In this case, a C250 is getting 200+ horsepower out of a small 1.8l engine. Cranking at 80mph, I'm not sure there's anyway to avoid this sort of explosion or for the safety measures to kick in fast enough.

Just my two cents. Obviously I don't know the details here, but I did want to add that even a 48mph collision into a tree at a particular angle can very well create a really large explosion.

they got bitten by a mistake of not doing enough market research

Alternatively, they don't see it as a mistake at all (as you pointed out, a whopping 68 subscribers) and did the math and decided to go with it.
High end PC cases are mostly rubbish. I've had many of them, I've built many workstations over the years. None of them compare favourably to the (original) Mac Pro case. There has been very little "innovation" in that market segment. None of those companies have anough money or the market big enough to warrant R&D expenses.
This is a neat idea, but it feels oh-so-skeevy. As in "I don't think I'd trust these guys with my email address, much less my billing information." I don't trust that the Zen Master is actually what you say he is, or that he's even a human. I kind of think he might be an email bot, actually.

These are my impressions from reading the site; I have no way of knowing whether they are true. It would probably more successful by trying to earn my trust a bit before asking for my money.
It is both. It would be much harder to separate the engine from the transmission in a collision.
I don't know if that's the right or wrong way of seeking out what to do - searching for "low hanging fruit" to pluck. By definition, they are easy to reach, thus by the time you become aware of such opportunities, usually, you're too late.
I am not a big fan of conspiracy theorists. However, I would encourage anyone to look into
911truth.org as well as do your own research with a critical and open mind.

Consider all the subsequent events triggered by 9/11 it is worth a closer look.

> Consent should never be assumed. Just fucking ask. This chapter is explicitly talking about transitioning from a non-sexual to a sexual relationship. Assuming that your partner wants this to happen is a recipe for sexual assault.

I think you're mistaken, and I think you're inexperienced with women. Most women absolutely do not want to be asked every step of the way. Many women I have been with have specifically enjoyed it when I have done things such as not ask them but pick them up and place them in my lap, then kiss them.

If someone withdraws their consent, and you do not respect, that makes you a rapist. Consent is typically withdrawn when she says things like "no", which the guide you are calling a rape-manual specifically notes to respect.

You're being disingenuous. No one who already is not a rapist and respects consent, can hear, and read body language is going to continue in the face of withdrawn consent.

Finally, how do you know the "talking a lot" step doesn't establish explicit verbal consent prior to the event?
With your current skills you'd get likely get stuck in a "data engineer" role which honestly kind of sucks. IMO you are better off buckling down to learn statistics and then some front end analysis tools like R and Tableau. Unfortunately there is not really a shortcut for learning stats.

Let me be more specific. All that is required is "reasonable suspicion" in order to require access to all the files on your computer, unencrypted. "Reasonable suspicion" is a very weak requirement, as you can see from the document linked to in the techdirt article, and is exactly the same as what is needed for an extended physical search or an extended search of non-electronic property. In other words, there are no special considerations that apply to property just because it is electronic.

All modern CPUs have memory controllers built in as opposed to using a distinct "northbridge" chip. The RAM attaches directly to the CPU socket (or soldered BGA). In multi-socket systems, this means there are memory buses coming off each CPU, and for one CPU to reach memory attached to the other CPU, it needs to go through that CPU via the interconnect. Here's some ASCII art of a system with 3 memory channels from each CPU (old Mac Pro):

+------+ +------+
| CPU0 +==interconnect==+ CPU1 |
+-+-+-++ ++-+-+-+
| \ \ / / |
MEM0 | \ / | MEM5
MEM1 MEM2 MEM3 MEM4

Going via the interconnect introduces extra latency and consumes its bandwidth. Therefore, it's more efficient to pin threads and/or processes to specific CPU sockets, and to allocate memory for it from that socket's associated physical memory. This requires kernel support, and for absolute top performance you also want a user space API, so you don't need to rely on the in-kernel heuristics.

Lacking software support means you have to fall back to whatever the hardware does automatically. Current multi-socket x86 CPUs all offer an "interlaced" mode for this (sort of like RAID0), where they dispatch to physical socket based on some physical address bits, e.g.:

0x00000000-0x0000003f: CPU0's RAM
0x00000040-0x0000007f: CPU1's RAM
0x00000080-0x000000bf: CPU0's RAM
0x000000c0-0x000000ff: CPU1's RAM

and so on. This spreads the extra latency evenly. Makes for consistent but poor memory performance. The mode is selected during system initialisation, i.e. is the responsibility of the Firmware (BIOS/EFI). Non-Apple workstations and servers typically let you select this as part of the pre-boot system setup UI.

It depends on the motherboard layout, but you'll find that there are groups of DIMM slots located near each CPU socket in multi-socket systems. Physical proximity helps keep speeds high.
