Webservice.management is better cloud management tool with NLP and batteries included for automation. I've been working on this for a few months now and got the website live this week.
To explain simulated annealing to lay audiences, I rely on a similar (inverted) example. You're at the top of the mountain. You want to find the lowest spot. If you just keep walking downhill only, you may reach the sea eventually. But you may never reach Death Valley (86m below sea level) unless you are willing to climb some mountains at the beginning of your trip. IOW you need to accept sub-optimal moves (with decreasing probability) in order to adequately explore your surroundings.
Enterprise means reliability (specific NAND quality, long validation process at multiple levels), long term support (including warranty costs), and firmware tailored for enterprise workloads.

Enterprise pays for SSDs that's tested throughly at firmware, controller, memory levels. They're not paying for the fastest, just the most reliable.

Many of the consumer SSDs are not tested to this extent, that's why the prices are so cheap. Look at OCZ as an example.

Would you as a business owner pay 100$ for 1000 SSDs that may glitch out early and have firmware bugs or would you pay 300$ for SSDs that's solid without having to go through firmware updates, glitches, and so on?
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the article! This is just a temporary home for the game. Once the competition is over, I'm planning on polishing it up and posting it on Kongregate or somewhere similar.
One thing to recognize, is that borders have traditionally been much fuzzier than they are now. In days of the Polish-Lithuanian empire, for instance, you'd have towns that considered themselves German, with ties to the old Holy Roman Empire. And these towns, even though they might be surrounded by the lands of Polish lords, wouldn't necessarily maintain fealty to the Polish king. In a lot of ways, you could even have two or three different, overlapping "territorial" claims within the same geographic space, without having an inherent conflict.
you can in oracle, and I believe db2. It's called range partitioning.
Wow, those charts are really surprising. Maybe it's just because I'm a web developer and sort of walled off inside the foreigner tech scene, but in my experience most companies here (in Shanghai) seem to exist in either Java or PHP land (based on what my boss has said about hiring and job postings I've seen).
A real sleeper in headphone market is the $33 Philips SHL9705A-28. They are as comfortable as anything on-ear that I have listened to and better sounding than most of the high-end devices. They put the ATH-M50 to shame. The AKG-K702, not so much. I like their sound better than either the Senn HD598 or HD650 to which they are very similar. I listen to and objectively measure and test 'phones for a living.

Aw shucks. I see they are discontinued (some left on Amazon though.) That's the problem with Philips, they have such a huge line that consumers can't find their way through it to find the gems and thus they languish. In general I will say emphatically that nobody offers better cost/performance than Philips.
The Truthcoin_1.1.pdf available goes over it a bit. I had the same question and had to hunt around a bit to find it.

It's a weighted vote, with loss of coin penalties for not voting or for voting against the majority and coin rewards for voting on low vote "decisions" and for voting for the outcome that ends up being the majority.

The defence here is the assumption that the usefulness of the market long term will motivate people to vote "fairly". I think that's incredibly naive but it might still work. There are strong incentives to vote for who you think the eventual winning side will be and the assumption that that will likely be the truth (for well designed questions) isn't crazy.

There are a lot of obvious ways to attack this type of system but I don't have the expertise to know how viable they are.
The source code can be compiled by cloning https://github.com/devinteske/apple and then:

cd OpenSSH-186/openssh
./configure --with-pam --with-audit=bsm
make

You can see from my commits at the following URL what I had to change to add support for Notification Center.

https://github.com/devinteske/apple/tree/master/OpenSSH-186/...

Namely I changed the following:

openssh/Makefile.in
openssh/ssh-agent.c
openssh/ssh-agent-notify.m [new]
openssh/ssh-agent-notify.h [new]

As for the OpenSSH version, Apple forks OpenSSH and then adds things like Keychain and launchd(8) support. So if you want a later version while retaining those features, you'll have to get Apple's customizations applied to a later non-Apple version or wait until Apple does it themselves. Migrating my changes into a non-Apple version simply to say you have the latest version of OpenSSH would mean that you lose keychain and launchd(8) integration.

From your linked article "Where the first story proclaimed the Kochs are the largest lease holder in the Canadian oil sands, Mufson and Eilperin now say they are “one of the region’s largest.” That’s quite a difference. Indeed, if the Kochs own leases for 1.1 million acres, as claimed in the original story, they are not “the biggest lease holder in Canada’s oil sands.” At least two other companies (Shell and Cenovus) hold more."

How does this change my point that a very small number of people control the profits to made from a hugely damaging project?

It doesn't matter that the Koch brothers aren't, as the WP originally stated, the leading lease holders. They share the majority of the total lease hold with other parties that are only interested in extracting the oil.

Implying that my point is invalid due to the Koch brother's only owning a substantial percentage, and not the majority, of the lease hold is disingenuous.

Should I forgive the actions of the Koch brothers now that I know that they only “one of the region’s largest" lease holders?

I'm experiencing the pain. I've been championing postgres in my company for a couple of years now. The partitioning limitations have been quite embarrassing. It's not just the annoying lack of helper syntax to make partitioning better. It's the actual huge limitations on what the planner can consider when trying to find a derived table.

What's changed is that in Mavericks (really Mountain Lion or higher) we have the Notification Center. No longer do we have to rely on 3rd party software such as Growl to get notifications. However, Apple has not yet hooked ssh-agent into the Notification Center. This blog starts off kind of slow by first introducing folks not familiar with the existing Keychain/launchd integration and then goes on to follow that up by talking about future integration with Notification Center (providing working code and binary for others to experience a Notification Center aware ssh-agent).

Thanks.

I've seen some discussion of CAES using former natural gas wells for storage. I don't know the scale of operations there, but it could be large (meaning that relatively small amounts of energy would be stored or extracted at any given point in time.

Rock also serves as a pretty good insulator (R5 as I understand, and there's a lot of it), which might preserve some of the heat of compression.

In your example, is 200 bar a typical pressure for CAES? I see that as about 2900 psi for the imperial units types.
For searching, I would gradually implement it. Just bear it for some days. But I would definitely put it.
For context, I am not sure but do you have got any ideas for the same ? wanna have discuss thing ?
Well like I said, I don't think anybody's coming after you for building a faraday cage for yourself.

If you do it in a movie theater though, it presents a safety issue, and that's a negative externality.
Yes, you can. To understand why, compare:

This:

'facebook' + 'mypassword'
'twitter' + 'mypassword'
'foursquare' + 'mypassword'

Password manager with unique passwords:

'mSX32ZyKZXptY3E'
'33RiKbc3n6sA6IY'
'4kGzFtWDd0rnti6'

All I have to do is figure out what you named the site that I compromised, then do exactly what I'd usually do to recover your password, and, voila, I can now access all sites you use it for. Compare this to the password manager example where each password has been generated at random--one password communicates no information whatsoever about the other.
I foresee two types for popular SSDs.

1. MLC at 512GB-1TB is all that needed for the boot/app drives for the next 5 years. They're already at decent prices, 3D stacked chips and another smaller process should be possible within 5 years to bring 1TB to about 200$.
2. TLC at 4TB+ for media/archival storage. I'd foresee 2TB TLC drive at 100$ within 5 years.
Why would you want to? I've been a "manager" of small teams and it's pretty much hell. You get shit on from above, and thrown up on from below. You're better off being an individual contributor. Typical "middle managers" have no real authority.

Not a huge resource, but it is sort of what you're asking for.
There are gains yet to be realized besides reducing the size of the process. For example, reversible (a.k.a. isentropic or adiabatic) computing offers a way to reduce heat generation, which might combine with 3D construction in interesting ways. New ways of designing chips might allow progress to continue, but they're hard and risky. They're not terribly attractive as long as shrinking the process offers predictable advances and remains economically feasible.

Still, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate how crazy just getting under 10 nm is. The wavelength of light that is visible to the human eye starts at around 380 nm. Looking at a 10 nm chip with violet light would be like trying to navigate your house by sonar using a sub-woofer as your emitter!

The Moog factory is definitely worth a tour, as is the entire Asheville River Arts District. There is an awesome scene going on there with lots of interesting old factories being bought up by everyone from craft breweries to tech companies to amateur welders. This is a bit off topic, but I could see a trend of tech companies moving to "rusty" cities like Asheville that are becoming cultural centers due to cheap real estate and an emphasis on the arts. VC will always be an issue, but Asheville does have the Tech Triangle (lots of engineering and science research going on there) close by, which makes that less of an issue. (Note: I am not from Asheville, but I love the area and go there a couple times a year)

My HTC WinCE device had internet and email years before the iPhone happened. The only reason I wasn't using it then was exorbitant data plans in Australia at the time.

Most fanboys narratives about the iPhone are complete garbage. There were plenty of early adopters using devices which had many similar features.

Heck, the entire "slate" profile is rip-off from the HP iPaQ, which broke ground in PDA circles by adopting it years before the iPhone was even dreamed of.

It's very easy to have bias even if the facts are correct. For example there's a chemical that is used in the production of most explosives, and anyone who has ever ingested it will assuredly die. I'm talking about water, but I made it sound like I was referring to a dangerous toxin.

The whole point of unbiased media is to present facts on both sides--like another comment said, we need to understand the unscrupulous practices of both Apple and Samsung.

This type of attack seems to be becoming more and more common - social engineering the server provider to gain root access. Good work by the localbitcoins guys in making everything so secure that even with root access the intruder (probably) gained nothing.

Summary: on their checkout page, they had an optional "Company" field under the "Name" field. This confused some people, who thought they were being asked for the company that issued their credit card, so they would put their bank name in that field, and then go on to fill out the address fields WITH THE ADDRESS OF THEIR BANK instead of their own address! This caused the address verification to fail on the credit card transaction. By taking out the "Company" field, $12m/year in transactions that would have failed now succeed.

I have been involved with the community for many years... and therefore I do not completely agree with your statement: "there are not enough open source projects and contributors in China". We have them, and they generally contribute directly to the projects involved (as it should be as you do not want to create islands/insular projects). Local (and localized) initiatives are great and I hope this is what you meant.
> No supporting facts are presented as to why he thinks the 7nm generation will be the last frontier.

I don't know about his reasons, but charge carriers at doped silicon have orbitals that are typically around 10nm in diameter. (They vary with dopant density, temperature, etc, and don't have clearly determined boundaries, thus there is no hard number.)

I would give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was simply picking an index everyone has heard of. But regardless, yes, it would be poorly diversified.
There are several other structures that behave like transistors, there is no reason to believe that silicon is the optimum computer building material.

I'm a bit curious as to their explanation:

> The attacker gained a root access to the server for ~40 minutes

and

> All data on the website server is encrypted. Manual actions are needed to make this data readable, so the attacker could not gain access to the data even when having a server console access.

Unless the "encrypted data" is simply being stored on that server, and not used, this seems like a hopeful statement to make. If a server process is accessing it, then it must have the key, at the very least, in memory (which root can access, though finding the key might be somewhat of a feat). Even if the truly valuable stuff was on another server, could the hacker not masquerade as the webserver itself, and make requests that appear to have originated from the webserver?

Granted, this assumes a lot about the ability of the attacker. I'm mostly saying it's possible, not that it's probable; the latter is harder to determine. Good see them rebuilding on fresh hardware: better to start from scratch than to try and "uncompromise" a system. Shame on the provider though; I'm curious to know who: I feel like such situations deserve a bit of name-and-shame, as they represent a very severe failure on the part of the provider. And the provider should detail very clearly what steps will be taken such that this will not happen again.
> There's a lot of repair information online.

Indeed there is, and one of the sad things is that this proliferation of easy access to information has seemingly not had much effect on the throwaway consumerism of today's culture, nor in getting people to understand more about the machines they use. A service manual is often literally a Google away (even for older models, there are a lot of neighbourly people who digitise them), and although I've not needed to do any major repairs on my white goods, I've collected from the Internet all the information I need to for most if not all of them.

The attacker got access via a reboot, so something as simple as passphrase-protected private keys would probably be sufficient here - "manual actions" could well refer to "enter the passphrase after startup". Or using something like kerberos, where credentials have to be fetched/validated via a separate server.
Dont get me wrong, I love having all of my 12 cores, but I dont really count that as improved speed. More (no pun intended) importantly the rule was every 18 months if I'm not mistaken, not 10 years. Lets double it and add a little bit, 3 years ago you pretty much could have bought the same machine.

in the last 3 years, processors have been about 3.4ghz, 3 years before that it was still around 3.1ish. I personally haven't noticed any improved performance on single threads. they pretty much do things at the same completion time.

I have a 12 core 4.5 ghz machine (3.4 overclocked), and I ran a compute intensive process on a 2010 machine that was 8 cores 3.4ghz and they finished about 5 minutes later at about the exact same time.

i'm not saying all things are equal and that things havent improved, just that i would have expected a lot more from something that was supposed to double (and get cheaper) every 18 months after 4 years
