The source for the idea of the pyramids being built by slaves was most likely Herodotus, who was probably more than a tad biased, being Greek. The evidence I've seen, from articles such as this one from the Deseret News ( http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705357902/New-Egypt-find-... ) and the Scientific American Frontiers show Dead Men's Tales ( http://www.pbs.org/saf/1203/segments/1203-4.htm ) indicate that the people who built the pyramids were most likely volunteers, most of whom showed up, did the equivalent of their national service for a few years, and went home.

One of the other cool features of USB C is "alternate modes", where two sides can negotiate a handoff of some of the lanes to things like DisplayPort:

Well, Mass Effect 2 was just a long corridor instead of having actual levels like Mass Effect 1. The level system was way more simplified as well than in the 2nd. And Mass Effect 1 was a way more simple game than let's say, Baldur's Gate or NeverWinter Nights from the same studio years before.

We have yet to see ANY RPG being as feature full as Ultima 7, out in 1992. Real time weather changes, AI companions with personalities, open world, huge story, NPC who actually feel real (they work during the day, go back home and sleep at night). There's nothing like that still in 2014, despite numerous attempts and failed promises.

Where are the flight simulators ? They are completely extinct. The best ones were made in the 90s and the genre disappeared in the 2000s. They were complex games too.

GTA is maybe the only game that you can show as going against that trend. That does not mean the game industry as a whole is making more complex games as they go, quite the opposite.
Libertarians, basically by definition, are people with a low group instinct. So any project that requires large numbers of them to work together tends to fall apart.

The other big problem with the micronation / charter city idea is that people get killed over land and water rights in developing nations. Just because you have the national government onside doesn't mean it's safe to ignore angry locals.
My experience with MongoDB has been terrible. Apart from just look-ups I don't think it's meant for much data wrangling. Joins with different collections are harder to do. I see the best use case of Mongo is for data dumps.

I handled the website at the time. Watching the referer entries in those logs would give you a who's who list of cracker sites from around the world.
Compatibility isn't the problem. The problem is the use of structured binary data itself for logs. Logging binary structures instead of raw text makes it very difficult to recover from crashes or misbehavior, since the logging facility (journald or otherwise) must ensure that the log's structure on disk is consistent at all times.

I've seen more than my fair share of journald corrupting its own log due to unclean shutdowns. If I'm going to be grepping the journald log file anyway to reconstruct it (possible, but not easy, since journalctl is useless here), then why bother using it at all? It fails at the very task it was built for.
Well said. I recently migrated to FreeBSD after trying sytemd on Arch and seeing that Debian and Ubuntu are planning to move too.

The dead simple rc.conf file seems so much nicer than the stuff I was dealing with in the entire world of Linux-based systems, like going back to the way Arch used to be when I really liked it.

After seeing the proof, I was still confused what I would receive, and thought maybe the blocks were placeholders for the text that would appear in the final print. You should definitely make this more clear, because the phrasing on the site gives the impression you'll get the actual code.

Without a doubt you'll get lots of requests for refunds if this isn't adjusted.

If there's one thing I've learned about FOSS, it's that everyone is looking for an excuse to fork things. Linux will never develop a monoculture - because someone can and will fork it. How many distributions are there? desktop environments? Package managers? Text editors and IDEs? And even zooming out of linux, there's openBSD, freeBSD, etc; If you start yelling about monoculture, isn't sysv init the worst offender for that? We have less monocultures than ever before.

If you think freedom is the ability to run only the code you want, the only way you're ever going to get freedom is by writing everything from scratch. Software will never be exactly the way you want it to be unless you write it yourself.

Most software depends on other software. That's just how things work. GNOME is particularly bad offender for that - it installed apache for some reason last time I used it. But GNOME also does a lot of things I don't really need it to do. Maybe someone else uses those features, and that's OK. You can switch DE if you really don't like systemd that much. But if you don't, that's not denying you your freedom - you made a decision about the benefits and drawbacks of a product, and decided to use that product.

Nobody really says how systemd only took over for political reasons, there's just random posts on forums that make claims and link to some dude's podcast. There's really no reason to believe that the systemd people are malicious.

I think systemd is the wrong choice for debian/ubuntu. But there's no reason to badmouth people about it and say hurtful things. Just use something else.

I'm just familiarising with docker at the moment (specifically docker, not 'containers'). I'm finding that there's a lot of glitz and glamour around it that's good for devs, but us ops guys like mundane things like logs and status messages. For example, I get the same message whether I start or stop a container: the arg I used to refer to the container. No information. I've run into a few shortcuts like this. It's pretty magical, don't get me wrong, but it's still in adolescence. I've heard some banks are using it in production (no idea of what for, though) - which is a feather in docker's cap - but there's still some things that need to be polished.

One thing I couldn't see anywhere - is PureScript strict rather than lazy?
I won't argue that our tax code is anything but ridiculous. But treating carried interest and capital gains the same way makes sense - it's money put at risk as an investment. I don't think it's relevant that in one case cash is risked and in another case it's compensation at risk. Nobody is goign to argue that the management fee is capital gains because it isn't - it's guaranteed cash. It's different.

I think you can argue that capital gains shouldn't be taxed differently than income at all (not sure what I think of that, honestly), but if carried interest has to be in either the "income" bucket or the "gains" bucket, it looks more like gains to me.
So, in your view, is NJ AG incompetent or evil here?

From my vantage point AG is either:

1. Looking to build a case against the students, which in all likelihood appears to a loosing bet (if you apply any common sense to the fact pattern). However, he can always trump up bogus charges, like Ortiz did against Schwartz, and look to settle for something lesser to check off a win on his/her scorecard.

2. Pressuring students to collect information necessary to build a case against a third party without tipping off such third party. If this is the case, it is pure evil and constitutes a gross overreach. There are a handful of other ways to accomplish the same goal without exerting an undue toll on these guys.

Let's remember we are talking about a couple of talented kids from MIT, who could be building the next $1bn business instead of being bogged down by some bogus nonsense. Also, can imagine what sort of financial/emotional/time sink this represents.

Then again, we are talking about the state where Governor makes Sopranos script look like a child play...
yeah. tell the sales guy what your budget is, and have him suggest some solutions that will maximize that value for you. you don't have to tell the exact truth here. a good sales person will use that as a starting point and craft a series of further questions and/or discussions for you to hone your needs into a specification that can be delivered.

too many people who usually don't buy things try to play amateur negotiator and refuse to name a number. it's really transparent and frustrating. generally these deals don't go through because the person doing the buying doesn't know what the hell he's doing and he assumes a combative relationship instead of one that tries to solve a problem.

especially when you spend hours crafting a proposal and getting input from sales engineering and executive management and accounting and client delivery, and the first thing that comes out of the customer is sticker shock because the customer refused to state his budget and requirements because he read it in a self help book somewhere.

again, most of these sales 'techniques' really are just designed to not waste anyone's valuable time. buyers will waste their own time and not even realize it because it feels like you're "getting one over" on them when in reality you're just being a moron.
If duplicate code bothers you this much, then what stops you from abstracting the common routines into something like BSD's /etc/rc.subr, and then sourcing them in the service-specific init script?

I'm not black. I'm a white male. I have five degrees including a PhD from an Ivy League school, I've been published in nature twice, Harvard Business Review, bla bla bla. All great on paper. But if you meet me in person, you'd never know that. I come across as a person of average intelligence (at best!), and I can tell you that I've always (at least at first) been treated like an outsider in high performing circles. I remember my second year of computer science when we had our first big group assignment, and no one wanted me in their group because they assumed I was a slacker of low average intelligence. Little did they know at the time that I was one of the top programmers in the class. Eventually everyone found out, and you know what, they liked me even more for it. But it's an uphill battle whenever you are different.

That said, I'm not walking in your shoes. Maybe it would be the same, or maybe it would be 10x worse or 100x worse. What may help is two pieces of advice: (1) when you're in high performing circles if you don't talk and act like others in your group they'll assume that you're an outsider. Ironically, humans are simply not smart enough to look beyond the first set of superficial data points before they make a decision and so people react according to their experience. It may not be right, but it is. So if you're entering a foreign group and you WANT to be accepted, then you're going to need to act in a way that is familiar to them. (2) Something I heard once from Indra Nooyi: "Always assume positive intent". That is, sometimes people think negatively about us, and sometimes we read into things. If you think that people have good intentions then try to make the second your null hypothesis. Even if you're wrong you may win some of these people over, and when you're right you may give people important benefit of the doubt.

This is a main reason I don't use Chrome. Since each tab is running under a sep process, there is no easy way to tell how much total memory is being used. Despite all the improvements, Firefox still has some pretty bad memory leaks and often runs over a gig of memory with just 5 or 6 tabs open. If they go this route, mem leaks will be harder to spot.

A long-overdue update, IMO. With Greenlight Steam has been cluttered with far too many games for the average user to delve into and gauge their worth.

I am intrigued by displaying the overall rating (even if it is overwhelmingly negative) next to the title on the deal pages; at those prices people are willing to take a chance on less polished titles, and in these showing the community's opinion will only serve to hinder purchases. As a consumer, however, I am indifferent as I (and I hope everyone else) read reviews before making a purchase.

The addition of having curators is an interesting development. Not having to read reviews but instead click a curator's page to see what is worth playing will give enormous power to these personalities which will be shifted away from the companies that produce them; no longer can publishers withhold games on launch since diehard fans of say, Totalbiscuit, may only purchase games with his seal of approval. However, these curators may lose hits on their original videos (like the aforementioned "WTF is...?" series) as it is so much easier to scroll through a list than pay attention to a video for thirty minutes.

EDIT: One UI complaint, though: when hovering over a game, a bubble with information (with user tags) shows up. It would be great if I could click these tags (as well as everything else displayed) and go to the related page.
That may or may not be true, but it doesn't sound relevant to this case. Despite the headline gloss of a "libertarian paradise," they never actually got to the point of trying to live together or work together.

Rather, it looks like some people either gave their money to a scammer or a guy who just wasn't competent to achieve his plans. As the article says, that doesn't seem like it's anything particular to any political viewpoint.
And 'free market' isn't synonymous with 'libertarian' anyway.

Setting up motion is easy enough if you have some scripting skills - a lot easier than the opencv approach in the article.

The idea is:

Turn it off, metal contracts

This is the repeatedly applied load, hence eventual material failure.

This article is terrible, priceonomics I'm ashamed of you.

> raises questions as to whether it is a miracle of physics, or a sign that new bulbs are weaker. Its longevity still remains a mystery.

It's not mystery at all. All you have to do to make a bulb last forever is derate it. The lower the temperature the longer it lasts, (and the less efficient it is).

At the dull red glow this one is emitting it'll last forever.

> Instead, they began to collectively engage in planned obsolescence. To achieve this the companies agreed to limit the life expectancy of light bulbs at 1,000 hours

I expected better from priceonomics than to repeat urban legends.

You can trade off long life and high efficiency. All that agreement did was decide that 1000 hours was a good trade off point, and standardize the luminous efficiency of incandescent bulbs so all incandescent bulbs of a specified wattage will be approximately the same brightness.

You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb#Light_... - it even mentions this very bulb.

Note that lifetime goes by the power of 16!!! so it's very easy to derate a bulb and make it last forever.
I mean usable. When I rotate something I want it to rotate in logical fashion and be able to get back to a point that I previously saw. Rotations as implemented in this site seem willy nilly and I can't think of any actual case in which I'd prefer this behavior over a local yaw to a global pitch.
I think letting your house freeze over might help. I live in a colder environment and have never seen a roach or had any kind of insect problem.
Many possible reasons.

A crude bulb with a thick filament will last longer, as the current per unit area goes down. A thicker filament would of course drastically increase the life.

And reduce the voltage by 10%, an incandescent bulb will last 10x longer. With Tungsten the usual failure mode is excited evaporated material cooling and ending up on the cool bulb wall, this is the "blackening" you see on the bottoms of bulbs.

Tungsten is a pretty amazing material, but will wear down over time.
