> If he donates a unit for himself, he has to permit it to be used by anyone else who might need it.

That sentence could have been worded better. This is the way I read it:

If he donates a unit for himself, he must allow it
to be used by anyone else who might need it.
I have a dumb question: If the United States Code is the authoritative law, what stops someone from finding some esoteric statute they want to change, and just publishing it differently than what the original legislation says?

It's not as if Congress goes back through it to make sure that no one slipped in a doozy.

And I know Congress could, if they caught wind of such trickery, pass yet more legislation to undo that, but given how onerous and slow-moving that process is, it could be years before it was fixed.

These dumb assholes need to start using git.

Otherwise its interesting to see (in Chrome) that by far most transactions are in the US, with just a few in Northern Europe. The rest of the world nothing much.

Or does this explain the remarkable regional preference of the transactions ? Sorry to ask, I have no experience with bitcoins.
What an amazing reading experience. So rarely do you see an article with so few distractions.

I wish I had something substantial to add, but I was just in awe by the presentation, the clear-cut contact information and credentials laid out, the pleasant font choices and how the related stories weren't pushed on you as opportunities for ad-rev, but for enlightenment for the curious.
the thing you're getting here is primarily throughput on a single image. Even if it's more expensive per-core per-hour, you can't discount that you'd have to work a lot harder to get the equivalent 30-box distributed solution to work properly, and even then it would have certain disadvantages owing to network latency.
It doesn't matter. :-)

If your criterion is "fastest and easiest to pickup", the expected marginal advantage of one or the other is smaller than the time you'll spend choosing between them. The only way to really find a preference is to dive in, learn one, and then maybe learn the other later.

There may be some other criteria that decide the issue for you, e.g. market conditions or owning a Mac. But really I'd just pick whichever gives you greater enjoyment.

Best of luck!

Any plans on making it possible to control what's backing those volumes more directly? For me, when I'm using data volumes, it's generally because I have specific requirements (e.g. want my database on my expensive SSD array's; want my high availability file storage on a Gluster volume or similar) that doesn't make it interesting to have them co-located with the container storage.

I don't want to care if the container storage is totally destroyed - I want to just re-create it from our registry on a different host. I keep threatening the devs I work with that I'll wipe the containers regularly, for a reason, and they're specifically and intentionally not backed up.

From what I hear, the idea of keeping the containers totally disposable is a key appeal of Docker for many (me included), so I would just not use any volume related functionality that co-mingles the data volumes other than in very special circumstances (e.g. lets say we had static datasets that we'd like to mix with an application in different configurations; but I don't have any actual, real-life use cases for that at the moment; basically I'd only do that if I then also could push those volumes into our registry)

RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora are all basically the same thing.

The difference is which package versions are approved for use.

For the most part, you can add the yum configuration for CentOS or Fedora to RHEL machines, and install newer packages without breaking it.

Note that some packages will end up pulling in a ton of other dependent packages. By adding a Fedora repo to a RHEL machine, the following things will happen:
1. You will likely lose official support from RHEL. Anything that goes wrong is your fault.
2. Your OS install will start becoming Fedora; as you install more and more stuff.
3. Your setup could break entirely because RHEL packages are not tested to be compatible with Fedora ones. The core configuration is different in places, and generally you should not start updating the core components as this will break things.

My recommendation is to setup the CentOS/Fedora yum repos on your RHEL box. Run yum install for new PostgreSQL and see what yum wants to install. Eyeball the results intelligently and take some guesses as to whether it will break things. Cross your fingers and approve it, then disable the CentOS/Fedora repos you added. Carry on with your life and don't tell IT what you did.

If you can't connect your RHEL machine to outside network, repeat the process somewhere else to figure out what RPMs are needed. Download them elsewhere, and stick them on the RHEL machine and install manually.

As an additional note; I have setup a Fedora repo on a RHEL machine and changed the flag in the system to change the distribution ( there is a core package everything depends on... ). We then updated all, and the resulting system still functioned. Very evil, but it didn't explode. Also; it took quite a while to install all the packages. It essentially is converting the whole system from RHEL to Fedora in place...
That's also the question I have when working on it. The data is actually from blockchain.info's WebSockets. Maybe their transactions are mainly from US and Northern Europe, I was expecting to see more from Asia.
It's a nitpick, but consistency and fairness are independent qualities in legal interpretations. As the simplest example, consistently applying an unfair ruling or precedent does not result in fairness. Only by presuming that all previous court rulings (at least those that can be used as precedents) were fair, does consistency result in fairness.

I'm a regular whole blood and plasma donor and I'm quite sure that I'd be much less likely to donate if I was being paid for it. I'm not really sure exactly why I feel that way, but I guess that if you put a dollar value on it I'd be calculating whether it really was worth my time. Right now, because there is no compensation (aside from a muffin and a cup of tea afterwards), I get the emotional benefits of having performed a purely altruistic deed.
Thanks, that is a great example.

This assumes that you are somewhat familiar with EC2 and have already set up a keypair and a security group that allows incoming port 22. Just read the instructions at the top and change the settings to fit your needs.

Set your browser to use SOCKS host 127.0.0.1, port 5222 (or whatever you change it to). This allows you to have a browser using the tunnel and everything else using your native connection.

Right, but the discussion is about anonymous VPN use.

There's always a server that knows something - but using EC2 means it is extremely easy to tie to your identity through your credit card, shipping and billing addresses, etc.

And Amazon is in bed with everyone VPN users might want to stay anonymous from - so EC2 is an exceptionally poor choice if you care about anonymity.

>The announcement comes despite Microsoft agreeing to a 10-year deal to use the Nokia name on mobile products.

That clause either didn't have much bite, or was only a verbal side agreement/PR stunt and wasn't actually written into the acquisition agreement(s).

EDIT: This article[1] clarifies via the relevant quote:

>"Microsoft has also agreed to a 10-year license arrangement with Nokia to use the Nokia brand on current and subsequently developed Mobile Phones based on the Series 30 and Series 40 operating systems," Nokia said in a recent US filing.

Basically, Microsoft has the option to use the Nokia brand name and is presumably paying Nokia as part of the 10-yr brand license deal. Without knowing the specifics of the license agreement, Microsoft may have tied any transfer payments based on gross revenue from Microsoft Nokia-branded mobile products; simply dropping the brand name might be a convenient way to side-step any payments to Nokia if they had the foresight to add escape clauses to the agreement.

Styling APIs: Apiary launches an enterprise API design product
If the experiment reliably produces the effect that they are investigating, then they have at least a million dollars in their future.

http://web.randi.org/the-million-dollar-challenge.html

But the sample size planned for this study is tiny, and the study won't really have the statistical power to demonstrate a true effect, even if the groups differ in outcomes (which I rather doubt they will).

AFTER EDIT: I see a downvote, presumably indicating disagreement, has come in. It would be a courtesy to onlookers here (and to me, for that matter) to explain what part of my comment you disagree with, if you please. To be clear, I genuinely think, based on much reading of medical research, that the effect the investigators are looking for will not be found as a replicable effect, even if their preliminary low-n study shows a difference in outcomes among the different study groups. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and to claim that tricking people into thinking they live at an earlier time will reverse the disease progression of cancer is to make an extraordinary claim (which is why I think this claim may be within the scope of the James Randi paranormal challenge).

P.S. Has any onlooker calculated how large a difference in outcomes would have to be observed in a study with only 24 participants in each group to convincingly show that the treatment effect is genuine? Statistical power is an issue that is often neglected in published preliminary research.

Only half of the US Code is authoritative (so called 'positive law titles'). For the rest, the original statutes are authoritative.

For the authoritative part- Congress isn't the only stakeholder who wants to see the law published correctly, fortunately. Businesses, lawyers, federal agencies, and others are looking over the US Code as it is published. In many ways it's like the open source model: many eyes and many copies (e.g. in libraries) keep it safe. The law is 200+ years old, though, so we're still stuck with old-timey ways of doing it for now.

Congress is very quickly modernizing now. They recently converted the US Code into very good XML: http://uscode.house.gov/download/download.shtml. Anyone could copy it into github or run it through diff to see changes.

This is a great little guide. Nicely done!

But my suggestion would be to use a nice Git GUI instead of the command line. SmartGit is free for non-commercial use and is quite wonderful. It's both easier to use than the command line (by a long shot) and it's actually more powerful too. Many operations that take multiple command line steps are a single command in SmartGit.

There is also SourceTree or the more limited Git GUIs for Mac and Windows from GitHub, but SmartGit is my favorite.

Maybe I'll take your writeup and convert it to a similar guide for SmartGit! :-)

Most people who donate blood just go into a pool, but 'directed' blood donations are very interesting.

I found out about directed donation when someone I know was found to be a close match for a baby with Diamond Blackfan anemia. He was asked if he would do directed blood donations to that baby on a regular basis. It was a serious commitment; missing a donation would put the child's life in danger. There were additional sacrifices--he couldn't travel a lot of places (for example, countries with malaria) as that would disqualify his blood.

The happy conclusion is that after five years, the parents had another child who was a perfect match for bone marrow, and after a marrow transfusion the Diamond Blackfan anemia was cured.
Ok, this is a contrarian opinion, but I think this is a great idea. This is an experiment and there isn't any data around the impact of a broad tax on internet on the economy. If Hungary implements this tax, then every other country can use that data to inform their own decisions about taxing the internet. In reality, as everyone has already pointed out, this experiment will fail horribly - which is great, because eventually SOME country or state is going to want to do this and I'm glad the experiment is being run in Hungary and not the United States or the EU.
We don't need more trains per day. It only matters at rush hour. The MARC trains probably aren't even moving at full speed during the morning and afternoon rushes. We need more trains during peak times and the existing lines probably can't support that.

It's not just HIV. It's any infectious disease (there is a thick book of reasons to disallow a donation). The problem is that these infectious diseases are socially disruptive, therefore these folk, unfortunately, tend to have less marginal income.

So this issue is revisited routinely. Here is a recent review on the topic:
