The numbers I found were that people can blow about 1-2 PSI (obtained by random people on the internet blowing into their scuba gauges), which implies that you could probably handle at least 0.07-0.14 atmospheres of positive pressure in your lungs without exploding.

The peak of Mount Everest is about 1/3 atmosphere, and base camp is in about 1/2 atmosphere. This means the partial pressure of oxygen at those locations is about 0.07 and 0.1 atmospheres, respectively. People who have not acclimated to high altitudes (by spending 2 months at base camp) will pass out on the peak (and it still sucks pretty hard even if you're acclimated).

So, it seems like pure oxygen at 0.1 atmosphere should work, although I suspect it'd be hella uncomfortable even without the vacuum, since it'd probably feel like you were trying to blow up the worlds largest balloon while standing on Mount Everest.

But it does let us move on. So you're standing in a vacuum (on the Moon, maybe) sucking on 0.1 atmosphere of pure oxygen. How long can you survive for?

Well, you can spin it that way, but trying to say that Apple had no impact on lives of many people would not be fair. And more importantly that impact was quite recent. iPod and ITMS early 2000, iPhone 2007, iPad 2013. Another point is, you can experience those products directly. You can see, touch and use them. Joe User does not see and touch C.
Yes, nobody denies the importance of C. But honestly, can you say what Ritchie was working on for the last 25 years?
The claim, that withous C we would be in the stone age of the computing is as credible as the claim, that without Jobs we would not have web, because it was developed on NeXT machine. And early Mac system was written in Pascal…

My solution to 'reach for escape' problem was

inoremap <ESC> jj
That's right; as I said "these problems are not (or at least very unlikely to be) the result of a direct conspiracy by some elite group."

Further: "I don't think history supports that view, and I don't believe people are particularly capable of maintaining such a conspiracy for so long a period of time. It should be clear, however, that the "conspiracy" could itself be an emergent part of the system - a higher order structure that has managed to persist itself (thus far) without continuous direct human intervention, however that would make it not a conspiracy in the traditional sense of the word."

I will also reiterate that just because there isn't a genuine conspiracy does not mean, as some (not you, here) conclude, that "the system" is as good as uncorrupted and can't be improved.

I'm not enough of a scholar of Marxism to disagree with your reading of it, but for my own part I would say that people are (obviously in my view) capable of acting in more than their own self interest, unless one insists on almost ridiculous contortions of their motives. This capability for action in the wider good can and should be harnessed by society, and my preference would be for this to take place in step with a broader decentralisation of power (and wealth).

Finally, I think a tiresome strand to this debate (not brought by you) is the idea that any kind of social improvement inevitably leads to some kind of totalitarianism. I know this view is a little passé, but I really see this as part of a set of propaganda disseminated by the powerful intended to counter challenges to their power. This certainly has historical precedent, and it is pretty clear that similar things happen today, often through support to favourable political parties, which comes with an influence over those parties' message. Of course, lots of other people buy into the propaganda, because it also serves their own (much smaller) interests.

I was born in Wales and live currently in England. These are two different countries of the four that form the UK.

My personal impression is that within the UK these are not seen so much as different countries but more as different administrative areas within the one country, and from without the UK you'd generally be lucky to find someone who is aware that Wales is a country and the UK is not.

Technically I should vote 'yes' but that doesn't feel right.

We operate a dozen of our own colos, with a virtual colo on AWS for insta-scalable multi-region redundancy, and an Amazon "colo" costs the same as about eight of our own when spun up and serving at least a gigabit of traffic.

However, the difference is less if you're going from zero sys admins to 24/7 says admins. I'd SWAG the crossover is once your AWS budget exceeds 4 full time sys admins willing to do shift work.

It's a shame, I wish vtd-xml was a more popular library, so I could read more about it rather than have to do it myself. libxml2 seems to rule the roost. vtd-xml doesn't have a debian package and the C files gave a lot of warnings when I compiled. I don't know enough about its performance to say if the bold claims are true. The author says the Java version is a little faster than the C version, which strikes me as odd - I wonder is he basing that on long duration benchmarks.

What is it about video + slides that appeals so little to people?

A full transcript with interleaved slide images takes a few minutes to read at most, and lets you control the pace of information absorption. A video with slides, especially when you cannot 2x the talking speed, is a painfully slow data transfer method.

Video + Slides = analog modem

Transcript w/ embedded slides = Google fiber :-)

Of course, if you're into audio books instead of reading, maybe you consider that a feature.

What memory errors and leaks? A good coder should be able to produce error-free code on first try, provided the documentation is clear and correct, and the problem is sufficiently simple (as in this case).

Tests and debugging will only get you so far, theoretical methods can get you farther in terms of correctness (provided your compiler isn't broke etc).

Employee-employer loyalty in situations like these is often substituted or at least augmented by patriotism, the moral obligation to serve some conceptual ideal that is presumably exhibited by the motherland.

Such motivations, especially when entrenched early in life can be quite powerful. I think there is some truth to the fact that Gen X/Y members will be harder to keep buttoned up when given secret clearances but it won't be quite as hard as it would be without the patriotic angle.

What the probable response will be against these leaks is a change in hiring practices (less reliance on subcontractors) and more thorough vetting procedures.

Rather than, what we'd all like to see (huge assumption on my part there): a more transparent and surgical use of these capabilities with much better oversight in place.
The vast majority of people will get married and have kids and actually want to enjoy life a little bit while working 9-5.

They want to stay near their close family & friends, because they love them and want to see them and want their kids to grow up around them. Which means spending X per month on a house.

They want to have a car that doesn't embarrass them when they drive into work or round their friends, because owning a BMW has been a secret dream and it's a totally reasonable price, and a smooth ride and great acceleration.

They value different things than you and that all costs money.

I'm actually somewhere between the 'norm' and your view, but at least I'm realistic enough to realise that my priorities are different to most people's. I understand why they buy what they buy.

Yup, that's what people usually really mean when they ask "Where are you from?"

I went NZ -> New York, NY -> Scotland and if I'm say on holiday somewhere, doesn't really matter whether it's in the UK, Europe, US, and someone asks "Where are you from?" then I have to think.

Depending on my mood I might answer New Zealand because that's the accent they hear and they really mean "What country were you born in?". Or I might answer Edinburgh or Scotland because that's where I live and consider my home, in which case the response is often "... but you don't have a Scottish accent", and I then explain and they get the answer they were looking for or expecting. Or I might answer "Where does the wind come from?" and disappear down the rabbit hole.

My children have triple citizenship and will no doubt have their own difficulties with "Where are you from?" in later life.
