Indeed, GG&S is very much focused on the macroscopic outcomes, but I do believe they two topics are interrelated, at least traditionally where they're discussed.

The question of why Africa was largely technologically undeveloped was of some importance to Europeans during the slave trade. The predispositional argument was made to justify the practice of slavery, and post-slavery to justify continued discrimination.

Similarly, if you go to East Asia today (see: Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong) you will still see today continued mistreatment of Southeast Asian migrant workers under the guise of predispositional and environment inferiority ("tropical climates breed simple minds" and such nonsense), justified by macro-scale outcomes ("look at all the tropical countries, all of them are a mess, clearly non-tropical climates breed harder workers").

These attitudes are depressingly common. The macro-scale differences in countries is often used as justification for odd micro-scale beliefs.

I'm not sure how I can explain it any more clearly!

If that note is true, then crucial details of the RDRAND specification in Intel CPUs were supplied by someone other than Intel.

Who's most likely to want to push for a particular implementation to their own enormous potential advantage? The NSA. Who has prior history of doing exactly this to a random number generator standard? The NSA. Do we know that the NSA influenced the Intel RDRAND implementation in these ways? No. Did they have both motive & opportunity? Absolutely, yes they did.

Which is why a concrete reference for that note would be good: if someone can point to the place in the public record where Intel admitted that they were not solely responsible for the RDRAND implementation then that's a fairly big deal & a brief sentence in someone's conference notes isn't good enough.
In my experience the problem is usually sbt related. I found IntelliJ to work great with scala+Maven.

>> giving a choice of desktops is a new departure for Red Hat

Is it? I've only used RHEL on servers but I've used CentOS on my desktops and laptops for a long time with many re-installs - I've always seen the choice to use KDE as part of the base install.
When I was young we'd always spray the kittens with it. (I grew up on a dairy farm, fortunately we got rid of the cows when I was about 7)

They loved the whole situation.
Wait, am I reading this right? 160,000 people signed up, and 4% completed the course. That's 6,400 students that completed!

This isn't even an easy course it's AI for crying out loud.

I had a friend that had to take this course, because the one taught at his local university was worse. He loved it.

How is this a failure?
I agree that terrorists win when we lose freedoms, but saying the number of casualties was "unsignificant" is maybe a bit too much. 2,977 people is a lot of people. Each is significant.

You can have more than 1 participating hop

Let's say we have Alice and Bob, alice wants to have 4 hops both outbound and inbound and Bob wants to have a 2 hop inbound and a 1 hop outbound

Alice's tunnels would be:

Alice -> Participant A1 -> Participant A2 -> Participant A3 -> Outbound Endpoint 1 -> ?

Alice <- Participant A4 <- Participant A5 <- Participant A6 <- Inbound Gateway 1 <- ?

Bob's tunnels would be:

Bob -> Outbound Gateway 2 -> ?

Bob <- Participant B1 <- Inbound Gateway 2 <- ?

For Alice to send to Bob and receive a reply the round trip path of the message would take would be

Alice -> PA1 -> PA2 -> PA3 -> OBEP1 -> IBGW2 -> PB1 -> Bob -> OBEP2 -> IBGW1 -> PA6 -> PA5 -> PA4 -> Alice
Shit, this may not apply to the dairy industry however. I found this on an organic dairy website http://www.oberweis.com/web/milk.asp:

"Organic certification requires that milk be discarded for 12 months after antibiotic use. This has the unfortunate side effect of making a sick cow such a financial burden to a farm that it must frequently be killed. When this happens, organic farmers generally milk the sick cow (and sell her milk to be bottled as organic) as she gets sicker and sicker and as the quality of her milk deteriorates. She is slaughtered once her milk approaches legal limits."

So that sucks.
>a job that is "below them"

This is absolutely not why people are not getting of UI to take a minimum wage job. Right now, if they were to accept a minimum wage job, they would lose UI and get paid less for the job then they are getting from UI. It is financially advantageous to stay on UI in those cases. Without that incentive, they would take the low wage job, but they would have to get on welfare/food stamps which the rest of us have to pay for.

So, tax payers are either paying for UI or subsidizing the difference between what those employees are paid and a living wage.

The solution to this mess is simple: Make companies who are profiting billions share those profits and pay their employees a living wage. You do this by raising the minimum wage. With a higher minimum wage, it would become a financially sound decision to get off UI and work a minimum wage job, and taxpayers wouldn't have to pay the difference.
I wish they talked more about how they had combined Akamai and Edgecast - seems like a very useful and effective technique.
what were the pros / cons from your perspective?
> The country failed these people first by letting the labor market stay so slack for so long that they became unhirable, and now we're going to fail them again.

This seems suspect. People lose jobs for specific reasons. Maybe a specific sector is shrinking. Maybe automation is replacing workers of a certain skill set. Maybe cheap labor elsewhere caused your employer to move.

Blaming "the country" for failing these people "by letting the labor market stay so slack" is meaningless in its vagueness.

There's this add-on called Blender that is supposed to make your browser send headers like the average browser, you might be interested in that.
I think your point about great managers is sound. Treehouse's move may prevent them from building up a cadre of terrible managers, but at the cost of vision and focus.
I second the vote for blender. I always thought of blender as vim for 3d.
It strikes me as an unstable equilibrium a la Prisoners' Dilemma.

I agree that the best situation seems to be one where every service has everything, and they just compete on price, UI, audio quality, reliability, etc. Users can subscribe to the service they like best, services can concentrate on technical excellence instead of negotiating with artists, and artists get access to all users.

However, given that situation, what happens when one of the services decides to negotiate a big exclusive deal with a popular group? This is a huge competitive advantage for them. They'll steal a ton of new users jumping ship from other services. Naturally, a service would try to accomplish this.

How do other services respond? I don't think they'd have any good way to deal with that besides trying to score their own exclusives.

Before long, everything is fragmented and nobody is happy. Users have trouble finding the music they want. Services are stuck fighting over exclusive rights to popular artists. Artists don't get the exposure they want. But they're stuck with it, because the good situation is not stable.
Thanks for commenting first, i loved your honest comment.
Well, i mean the purpose of this article is just to show that even I'm not specialist in the domain, i or we can still find a way to do something like getting a sum big enough to pay for free time expenses.

Can anyone explain a bit more about what happened to Red Hat? I'm about behind the history of this Distribution. Last time I read about it I found out that is paid and I never considered it, because of that. I'm using Slackware for most of my servers, but I don't know what is the target market or what is more special in Red Hat Enterprise.

I think we three might be able to agree the quote could be downgraded to:

"In an ideal world, heroin would be one of many fringe activities, like rock climbing, BASE jumping, etc."

In the mean time, many who pursue heroin aren't doing it as a hobby/for the exploration, but as a replacement for responsible living, a thrill as they grind their productive lives into the ground. That is the real tragedy, not that anyone, anywhere does it.
Maybe not - as others note in this thread there are real guns that could match the description of this one. Whether or not those guns are lethal enough to warrant being removed from a flight is a very valid question.

Before we cast aspersions on the TSA agent, let's look at it from her perspective. The TSA has rules that say replica guns are not allowed on flights. The TSA is not likely an agency that smiles upon its front line employees exercising discretion. Her options are:

1) to confiscate the "offending" item, as supported by her training and the TSA policies, or

2) to decide the item is not a threat and let it pass security.

If she takes the first option, she risks a bit of media hullabaloo being directed at the TSA. If she takes the second she risks being wrong (what if it is a gun and someone is shot, what if someone on the airplane sees it and panics because they think it is a gun,...) and being held accountable.

And even if she lets it go through what's to say a supervisor who is evaluating the front line agents doesn't take note of a deviation from training/policy and fire her then?

The TSA agent was acting, in my mind, completely rationally given the framework under which she has to act. If we want to blame anyone here we need to look straight to the system.
It looks to me more like

Great, looks like that's done, so that's it for old business. Any new business?
I think you give the agent too much credit, but perhaps that was the thought process. I'll concede that point.

However, I still think it was a dumb argument. Note that the closest small gun you linked with any chance at being lethal was 4-5 inches long. A gun half that size, which someone would have to basically hold with their thumb and forefinger, cannot possibly be menacing in any circumstance unless you are a Smurf.
Yes. See the -t flag. That's the reason I wrote it.

Is The Government Spying On Us?
Lots of hotel safes (with the electronic locks) have a default password known to the staff, so they can get in after a guest has checked out and forgotten an item in the safe, or the guest has forgotten the password they chose. I would regard hotel safes as only slightly better than leaving your laptop on the nightstand.

This could be quite handy as need to do this sort of thing surprisingly often and usually resort to a shell script one-liner like this:

Is Netty system-level enough? Or Cassandra? Or Tomcat? Or Apache Spark? Or Hadoop? Or Akka? For some reasons devs chose Java to implement them, not C++.

As of performance, they are doing extremely well. Last time I checked Netty vs Nginx was a tie; Tomcat vs Apache HTTP were also extremely close; Apache Spark (pure Java) is generally much faster than Impala (using C++); and Cassandra has no direct competitors written in C++ so far (not counting 1000 toy databases here), but it is definitely one of the top performant NoSQL stores out there.
We're living in a 21st century economy with 20th century ideas on work. The economy doesn't need 40+ hours from everyone to produce what we need. I agree with some others here that a Basic Income at a reasonable level would help out a lot.
I find it interesting that this starts with : As we added more people to the team, we noticed something disconcerting: rumors, politics and complaints started appearing.

This suggests that Ryan has confused "leadership" with "management". Good leadership means that people are all working to the same goals, good management means that people are working efficiently.

If you want to fix rumors, cliques, and back stabbing. Look to your leadership. If you want to get more done with the same number of people look to your managers.

Rochester is essentially healthcare through Mayo. If you're not a healthcare professional, good luck. IBM used to have a major presence there, but I don't know how much now.
A big part of it is probably the travel/moving expenses. At a bare minimum, you need bus/cab fare (or a car + gas $) and enough for a security deposit on an apartment when you arrive.

The barrel length includes the majority of the revolver drum. The overall length of the weapon is a little over three inches.

It's certainly in the same ballpark, size-wise, as the prop in the article. Which, in my opinion, makes the TSA employee's actions reasonable.

Trust me... I think the TSA regulations are an absolute mess, and the vast majority are completely worthless.

"You can't bring carry things that look an awful lot like guns onto planes" seems pretty reasonable to me though... If it's really that critical that you bring your sock puppet prop with you, stick it in your checked bag...
The government does offer a tax dediction for job related moving expenses. In practice that means the government pays for X% of your moving costs where X = your federal tax rate.

So it doesn't help people who already pay no federal taxes, which is almost everyone we're talking about here. But anyone who lives in the US and pays no federal taxes is getting a pretty amazing deal to begin with.

The obvious response to that is to suggest that these people are looking just hard enough (wink,wink) to keep their benefits but not actually get hired by anyone and once you take away the free ride they'll start making an honest effort to find work.

I don't agree with that, but I find it hard to refute when it comes up. Are there any good, fact-based arguments that prove this idea to be false?
Exactly. But, see the -t flag, which is the real reason I wrote it. -t is a non-trivial script (if it's even possible in shell).

It defaults to the until behavior because it's most common.

I think we'll see more battles in the coming years between Apple and Spotify over exclusive rights for the music of artists that aren't on either service.

Sidenote: I'm curious how iTunes Radio has done since they released it. I haven't heard from anyone who prefers that over Pandora or Spotify's offering. It'd be a large acquisition by their (or anyone's) standards, and I know I'm not saying anything revolutionary here, but there have to be discussions that have happened/will continue to happen about Apple buying Spotify.

Eh... it was also a time when I had to listen to the radio. The radio! The same 50 crappy songs in rotation. It reached its nadir in the 90s-2000s with Clear Channel and the end of DJs and only with Internet radio and the rise of really good public radio stations did it recover.

So I'll take the trade. I can still listen to Led Zeppelin 50 times (not that I'd want to), but I can also listen to a myriad of artists, styles and mood that I would never have been exposed to on my radio.

If unemployment continues to drop or even accelerates its downward trend without a corresponding drop in the labor force participation rate, can we at least consider the possibility that some fraction of the "long term unemployed" would always remain unemployed up until the moment when they ceased being paid not to work?

Or, if you want to be more generous, ceased facing a massive effective marginal "taxation" rate on their first couple thousand dollars of monthly income.

I don't mean this as a moral judgment. I can imagine a host of situations where being paid $20,000 a year or so to evaluate your employment options and otherwise spend a lot of time doing non-wage-earning activities like spending time with your kids would make perfect sense.

I know that one condition of receiving unemployment benefits is to be looking for work, but I'd be surprised if that is hard to fulfill.
