Lots of well meaning kids go and setup Level 3 resolvers on grandma's home network, then the ISP has to deal with support calls when someone elses DNS servers go down.

As a result quite a number of networks "hijack" 4.2.2.0/24 and route it locally to their own resolvers.

Universities often require health insurance if enrolled. Often it is required you buy it through the University. Universities roll many services into one package. It is not uncommon for University programs to target bettering both physical and mental health.

Psychiatric services are just one more Health benefit. Is there a reason to exclude it as part of the package? If it normally is excluded, what reasoning lead to this decision?

Wasn't trolling.

Random rewards prevents easily predictable behavior and forces people to group together to mine because a miner could work all day and produce one block worth 10 coins, or collaborate with 10 other people and produce 10 coins, some of which are worth a 100k coins, to average out the 10 coins.

It's more social engineering than technical engineering but still.

Not for long though. Due to European law to homogenize the judiciary systems across Europe, investigating judges are on their way out, and we're to go towards a purely oppositional system in the next few years (I don't know the right terms to plug into Google to get a supporting link, sorry). I'm expecting we'll see huge problems during the transitional years.

There's also a tradeoff between availability and the fact that many of Google services are simply an order of magnitude better (both in terms of functionality and user experience) than anything else out there. I happily use DropBox instead of GDrive for syncing files, but I'm yet to see an acceptable replacement for GMail.

The government has pushed the ISPs to offer a software filter for free to all customers. When signing up you get the choice to either have or not have it. BT for example have two buttons, one for "yes please, free filter thanks" and one for "nope, I'll handle this". It can also be turned off at any time by the account holder.

The cart can be identified by the switches on the front, also since only 90 cart were produced (and gave away, you couldn't even buy one) makes it collecting value fairly high.

Honestly, I have no argument for OpenNIC over Google's DNS that will convert you right now. It really depends on who you trust more.. strangers over the internet or a large corp who was the target of espionage. That's really up to you to decide the lesser of two evils.

A cool thing about OpenNIC is that they offer alternative TLDs that aren't part of ICANN's gTLDs. Also, the owners of the public servers strive to be as open as possible with their policies and features, such as no logging or using DNSCrypt. One of them even offers DNS level ad blocking, though I don't like it because I prefer the internet at its purest form and that policy doesn't seem to flow well with their anti-censorship mantra.

Lean Startup: Lesson Learned
The simple answer is that political systems aren't as varied as you might think. There's egalitarianism, which is either unsubsidized (libertarian) or subsidized (socialism). Then there's those who think that some order should come before the individual, and those are either royalist, paleoconservative, "social conservative" or some form of meso-conservative (incl. neoconservatives).

But, as you might guess, there's a catch. Any political system picks up inertia like a ball rolling downhill. Thus whatever direction you go in, you keep going in... and so unsubsidized egalitarianism usually becomes subsidized (as in the 1960s in USA and Europe) and moderate conservatism eventually gets more conservative as it did under Reagan. The reason for this is that, believe it or not, political systems aim at visions of society. The more power they get, the closer they get toward realizing that vision, which is actually what the people who believe in them want.

Conservatives and liberals, by the way, have radically different visions for what they want out of society:

Well, you could ask the same about Zend, Laravel or Symphony — what’s different between them? Even though they support most of the same features, they’re implemented in unique ways. None of them are like Django, though. I think it’d be cool to have a Django-like framework for PHP.

"The real issue comes down to concentration of power in one subsection of the population."

Yeah... that sounds really good in conversation. But let's pick it apart.

Any political system is going to concentrate power because otherwise any act will require buy-in by vast numbers of people. Imagine a committee of 300 million and you'll see why democracy delegates power.

The problem then is more that these groups are the wrong people (selected badly) or that there's not a clear communication to them as to what they should be doing. I'd say both of these are huge problems in our society.

I think you misinterpret the question. It's not "What is the meaning of my/your life?" - it's "What is the meaning of life?" or put another way: "Why does life exist? and why should/does it continue?"
According to the professionals of the field, there is little hope for ever preventing cancer. For a protein life that has sufficient complexity, cells have to divide/replicate to maintain the life of the protein machine, e.g a human body. Stuff can go wrong with the division/replication, it can be inaccurate in so many ways but what matters most is that the replicates can also replicate.

Some cells die before they attempt a single replication. This could be due to a disease attack, vulnerable imperfect replicate, plus plus. As long as those that get to replicate can make up the numbers for those that die early. Cells that are resilient and can replicate fast and frequent enough before they die tend to pass on forms of this attribute to their imperfect clones.

With time, many types of cells in the whole protein body get to attempt replications faster and faster. Pure natural selection at work -- a concrete example, smoking kills lung cells, so for the lung cells to maintain their numbers they have to replicate early enough in their life time and frequently.

Most environmental pressures seem to force the biology of the cells in this direction, which increases the likelihood of replication eager cells aka cancerous cells.

That is why at this moment in time, prevention seems bleak.
Sorry, I was raised Christian and realized at 12 years old that it was complete bunk. How did I realize that? I read the bible. Literally every day. I read it cover to cover at least 15 times. It contains pearls of wisdom floating in a sea of nonsense. No rational person can read that book cover to cover and remain a Christian. Which is why Christians have bible study groups where they focus on John 3:16 and other pretty verses while ignoring the wackjob parts that make up most of the bible.

But it is pointless for me to even point this out to you so I'll stop here.
> Her central thesis, that Yale is focused on image, frankly doesn't sound like anything the university is really worried about.

Perhaps.

Or perhaps some "savvy", New-York-Times-minding administrator somewhere made a bet -- a bet that was, probably, "rational". They made a bet that a person like Ms. Williams would not write so articulately about her experience. They made a bet that a psychiatrist would not be so honest with her. They made a bet that keeping Ms. Williams around would be more of a liability than sending her away. They took a risk and lost, because Ms. Williams is not just some medical subject; she is a person that others respect, a person that others will listen to. They bet, perhaps rationally, that Ms. Williams would have shut up and gone home.

Where Should an Architect Begin?
I kind of like Azure and its management portal that makes it easy to setup and manage all their services, but I find the costs to be too high.
An Extra small VM (1GHz CPU, 768MB RAM) runs at US$15/month without considering the additional cost of data transfer, storage transactions and storage cost.
Compare that to DigitalOcean with their US$5/month for their equivalent offering.

What draws me to Azure is the fact that MS have datacenters where I live.
The universe existed for ~ 14 billion years and did just fine without me. It will probably be good for at least another 14 billion years after I'm gone.

This is probably the game that had the most impact on my interest in computers as a kid.

I think all we had access to were cracked versions in Juneau, Alaska where I grew up (I remember it as a "Black Bag Crack"), so I don't think it was possible to finish the version I played. Regardless, in 4th grade I loved it, but I don't think I actually got that far.

However, I realized later that it had given me the foundation of my understanding of digital logic. It's kind of awesome when I think about that.

I don't know enough about this person to say whether it was the right thing or not, but in general suicidal thinking combined with self harm shouldn't be enough to deny someone access to University.

Self harm is for some people a protective measure that prevents suicide. It's possible that a bit of supervision and temporary lighter workloads would have helped.

I have been careful use use weasle words - "if her account is accurate" etc - because it's possible that the only option was for them to remove her temporarily and their weird system needs her to reapply.

And I'm not sure if they get a pass on not discriminatory. Excluding people with current mental illness, but accepting people with a mental health problem in their history isn't really good enough in the 21st centuary. Again, I don't know what their policy is so I should not judge them, but what do they do with people who disclose hearing voices or psychotic episodes or bi-polar mania or eating disorder? (Anorexia is far more dangerous than self harm, even including the suicidal thinking).
I'm not sure that your solution is better. Can you provide some evidence to suggest that government run programs don't offer worse results? I can't think of any examples where the government runs efficiently.
> The gal has obviously sick. Yes, Yale sent her away, but is there any actual psychiatrist here who would recommend keeping a suicidal/self-harming patient in any school/job situation?

I would be reasonable surprised if the first round of advise from a psychiatrist to recommend quitting a job or stopping school. In the cases where it would be recommended I would bet it only happens after there is a strong alternative support network in place.

So yes Yale sent her away, but it is not obvious a psychiatrist would have made the same choice.

> If anything, Yale should get some credit for not black balling her;

Do you think they deserve credit for making a reasonable decision? Or that Yale did a better job relative to what is standard for other Universities?

The bible makes as much sense as most ancient literature. I read it and compared it to ancient Greek, Roman and Babylonian literature. It's interesting to compare and contrast what values are emphasized over others. The old testament is very into offspring and private property, mainly in the form of livestock. The Greeks are more into glory for its own sake. Gilgamesh is about friendship, civilization vs.nature and trying to live forever.
I used their payments to buy something in the Apple store last week. It really feels like stealing: You walk in, take the product, scan it with your phone, and walk out. If they enable this for other merchants, it would be a huge business.

You're right, I can see that. Would it not be a good idea to create a higher level framework based on one of the existing ones? With a mature and massively used core you could focus more on making your framework user [developer] friendly in the way you think Django gets it right.

I am just thinking out loud. It's a good idea, but I am afraid it could easily be too much work to reinvent a wheel instead of building the car around a well tested existing.

Thank you. When I was diagnosed (IIa good) my fiancé an I spent three hours with my medical oncologist going through exactly what treatment would be, probabilities of relapse, relative risks, everything. She is a wonderful doctor.

Also, just to jump on the train, if something is weird with your testicles, pain or lumps or whatever, go see a doctor. I waited longer than I should have and it probably made my treatment harder than it could have been.
To be clear, East St. Louis is not part of St. Louis and isn't even in the same state.
Yes, they've been using this in Spain for a while in all Apple Stores. There are a few things that make it "not awesome". For example, an employee always had to review my purchases (I wasn't buying anything expensive, less than €100), and one time there was an issue with the payment and it required the intervention of one of the employees as well. But I agree, once it's a "take item, scan it, walk out" and it works flawlessly, it can be a game changer if they apply it to other retail shops.
Not quite sure I follow.

The "dick" wrote publicly and under in own name in his employer's journal. No one is "grassing" him, no one is retaliating, no one is drawing attention to his gender or suggesting that he is, in fact, a dick.

They are instead commenting on unprofessional and unethical behaviour he has displayed in public, without apparent oversight or forethought or consideration for the likely harm that will arise from his actions.

The article was well thought out, well written, on the mark, and not all ad hominem.

So what's the issue?
I'm both eager to see what they do and a bit afraid that their weight will stifle progress in that area (if only because any competing tech will have no chance of being allowed on that platform).

Having a secure way to pay with your phone, without divulging your credit card number to the merchant, without the risk of having your card duplicated or robbed, would be a massive advantage.

However, I'm a bit wary that Apple will be both too greedy and start behaving like a bully, if not toward its customers, at least toward the merchants.

I also don't like Apple's paternalistic attitude toward controlling access to content it deems "mature". Will they prevent me from using their payment system for stuff they do not approve of?

Like with the App store, will merchants have to bow to the mighty Apple and be forced to abide by its many rules -even the unwritten ones- to be allowed on their payment system?
In the UK, a prosecution would fall apart if police officers were cross examined and had to admit that they were hiding evidence.

The procedures for handling evidence are very strict, and police are obliged to register everything in a database (I don't know the name of the laws forcing them to do this, but it was explained to me when I was on a jury).

You then have both the officers who were on the scene and the master of records, where video evidence is used, testify about the source of the video and any processing it has been through, and so on. These prosecution witnesses are all cross-examined, and if a defense lawyer had the angle that procedure had not been followed properly (i.e. the master of records, and those investigating the case, had ignored or hidden evidence that supported the defense), the officers' testimony would fall apart and they would likely be charged themselves (or at least disciplined internally) on the basis of the evidence they gave in court under oath.
