I would have to agree, Google is getting worse, while DuckDuckGo is getting better. I don't think that most users would switch though, but as long as I have an alternative I'm happy.

Yes, but how do we prevent this from happening? That's the big question!
Or it is because Zynga is a donor.

They can't release it for free because Zynga wants first crack at making money off of it if it has promise as a commercial product.

Just a guess, but it sounds like less bullshit than their stated rationale.
I agree.

Another way of looking at it is if title is not defining scope of something, then what is its purpose?

Whenever I see someone dismiss the work of obviously smart people as "trash" then I just assume they are 1) arrogant and 2) usually missing the point.

E.g. complaining about the capitalisation of intermediate output is just pure whining. It's not a substantial criticism at all.

I'll note that the BSD ports of golang were brought up without any of this nasty complaint, even the OpenBSD one :)

The 30 years guess is based on the history of vancomycin, which like teixobactin was isolated from a soil bacteria. They presume, based on multiple similarities and things like teixobactin producing bacteria not having innate immunity to it except for not having cell walls, that it could have a similar period of freedom from resistance development. And if their thesis and what they think they know about it is correct, it could have an even better experience.

So presumably, if some foreign power invaded the US next week, violently exterminated most of the population, and herded the survivors into a few tracts of land, you would be fine with that? After all, land changes hands continuously.
No, harsh experience with Communist, socialist and Fascist regimes shows this is a universal human problem, with far worse e.g. environmental results. If you have independent companies do stuff, the government(s) they operate under, and people using the mechanisms of those governments, tend to check them. The alternatives remove those checks altogether.
Obviously this is true, and hotels providing wifi services want to charge for them rather than allowing users to use their own (much cheaper) systems. No question.

That aside, what is the solution to rogue access points in a public space? We all know that it's pretty easy to set up camp in a public space, broadcasting a friendly-looking but dangerous wifi network. Let's says you've got someone sitting in the Marriott lobby, creating the "Marriott Free Wifi" network. A bunch of people will connect to it, and some information will leak.

Is there any reasonable way to deal with this issue? Obviously we have to assume that public wifi is compromised in any case and require transport-layer security, but I can certainly see there's still a gaping security hole there.
> I'm fine with Marriott using deauth jamming against [...] or operating on their specific wifi channel

While they might have a justification that a "Mariott Wifi" ESSID on a Mariott hotel is theirs, how can they say a specific wifi channel is "theirs"? Wifi runs in unlicensed bands, any device which meets certain technical requirements is allowed on any channel in these bands, no matter who the device owner is. The 802.11 protocol is designed to share wireless channels between APs with different owners (while it also assumes that APs with the same ESSID have the same owner).

And what would be "their" channel? A well-designed wireless network for a large enough area will use several channels. Unless they have a single AP (unlikely) or their network is not well designed, they are probably using all the non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz band and many channels in the 5 GHz band, including all the non-DFS ones.
Well, one possible perspective is that during a lot of the 20th century the US held itself to be morally superior to the "colonial" powers as they didn't have an empire.

However, the US - like Russia, didn't colonize other "nations" it appears to have mostly completely supplanted them in the areas it grew into.

Of course, this is only of historical interest, but as a wise man once wrote: "Who controls the past controls the future".

I think you should visit a terminal. The cranes used to load and discharge containers are massive. Often much bigger than any existing vessel as the vessels keep getting bigger. See for instance cranes being shipped on a vessel: http://www.schoonerwoodwind.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/c.... Now try and discharge+load e.g. 1000 containers.

In your suggestion did you consider:

* how would a smaller ship be able to offload a much bigger ship
* speed of loading+discharging matters a lot and a smaller ship will be much slower
* where to store the containers
* impact on transhipment

There are vessels with cranes on them, those are usually not full container ships but more like vessels which mostly handle trucks+cars plus occasional container or breakbulk cargo.

The latest terminal in Rotterdam has switched to working remotely with camera's because it has become impossible to put anyone on a crane, see e.g. following video. Dutch, just look at the monitor screens they're using:

Sorry, this article is about taking responsibility. Criticising the tribal struggles of the people you dispossessed, exterminated and then wrote out of history, as if there's some sort of moral equivalence in play here, that's the worst form of evading responsibility. White people had the choice to steal land and dispossess, they chose to do it. White people had the choice to buy land that had been stolen and ignore its provencance, they chose to do that. White people should deal with their crimes.

And as far as more modern immigrants? Sorry, people knowingly chose to immigrate to a land which has been stolen. Again, there's a choice to do the right thing or not, and people are choosing to do the wrong thing. People should take responsibility, full stop.

The history and deeds of the native tribes of America have nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the current invading population. No non-native American has the moral right to even allude to it, let alone point fingers and try and force moral equivocations. It's the worst form of hypocrisy.

Attacks in two of my home cities (Paris and Sydney) in recent weeks affecting people I am closely connected to. It is truly heartbreaking. It makes me very proud that in both cities, people refuse to accept these actions as anything but the actions of inexcusable murderers; and in both cases people have made use of the internet to share a positive message of hope and solidarity (Je Suis Charlie / IllRideWithYou). When I grew up in London during the IRA bombings, no such channel existed and the message was a very negative one issued by the government and echoed by the broadcast media. What a difference it makes that the general population now have a channel to direct the way these actions are viewed, communicated and reflected back to the perpetrators. Yes, now we ARE all Charlie.

Sure, but it was a kind of general example I was giving. My problem when I specify class based views, is that it usually takes me to version 1.3, while Google points me to the dev version (usually I want the most recent stable version so neither is perfect in that respect, but Google is usually closer).
To add: Those reefer containers have to be stored in a special section of a vessel (where they can be plugged into power). Frozen vs refrigerated is just the temperature setting. These reefer containers are usually to keep the temperature of a product. Meaning: they're not meant to freeze a product to e.g. -20 Celcius, though "not meant" and practice can differ a bit :-P

The Large List of Technologies that will go BIG in 2015
I don't think I'm strongly pushing any particular position -- I think the author is, and I'm asking why.

Basically, what makes this particular story of human savagery, out of all of them, crucial right now? If it's high time for Americans to acknowledge that the US is built on someone else's land, is it also time for everyone else in every other country to do the same thing? Is there any country whose borders don't include territory that used to belong to people of some other ethnicity or culture?

Are we even sure we understand how to determine who really owns what piece of land? I'm genuinely asking. It seems very basic, but I don't know how to answer it.

Please note, I'm not trying to claim that any particular instance of violence was alright because everybody else was being violent too. Without a doubt, it was appalling, atrocious savagery, and will hopefully never be repeated. It's just that, in the field of appalling, atrocious savagery, there's a lot of competition.
This sort of thing is so exciting. I was at the Hunterian (https://www.rcseng.ac.uk/museums/hunterian) last year and it's incredible to see how barbaric fixing (or trying to fix) someone was - and how far it's come in 100 years. Which I hope is much the same as our descendants will be thinking about medicine and surgery now.
I wonder if that is how my relatively incompetent team leader would describe our working relationship?

America has long held itself up as "better" than other countries - more virtuous, more wise, more free, more advanced, etc. etc.

When you actually look into it you see: a) the utterly brutal dispossession and extermination of a weak and technologically primitive existing population b) the callous and self-serving enslavation of vast numbers of people c) vicious and destructive interference in weak countries across the 20th and 21st century to facilitate the wholesale theft of natural resources.

I'm not saying that the rest of the world doesn't have its own sins, or that any other country would have been particularly better if they had the opportunities that America has had, but please, get down off your high horse. The ignorance and self-infatuation of American people is why they are so widely hated.
On high-latency links, 9P is slow, but on low latency links (like should be provided by QEMU), 9P should be very fast. Looks like a QEMU implementation problem to me.

That being said, calling QEMU's 9P "9P", is a stretch. 9P was designed wit multiplexing in mind, but it's not multiplexed in QEMU, in fact multiplexing in QEMU uses a completely different mechanism. You can't mount QEMU's thing in Plan 9 (unless someone added support for this when I wasn't looking).

"Feedback comes from bad electronic/DSP design"

I see that you mention an adaptive filter, and that might be a good solution, however, you are limited by CPU power of the system and other constraints (like having to work continuously)

Bonus points if you tell me what are the poles and zeros of that system to avoid feedback.
He means "underconstrained".

In other words, there is more than one function that satisfies the relation f(2x) = f(x) * f(x), so we need to find some more constraints to exactly pin down the Maclaurin expansion of exp(x).

I recently worked for an ISP providing service to some Marriott resorts. This is my opinion and in no way representing either company, but this is exactly what Marriott is trying to do. Marriott is not using any sort of wifi jammer like the author is suggesting; in fact such devices would block their own wifi signal.

The most typical problems with wifi in resorts comes down to construction; most of these were built years before wifi was a consideration and are constructed in a way such that even with commercial APs you will get a very poor signal even with the APs in each unit. There's one such property I know of where guests only get wifi in the one room with the AP and out on their balcony and no where else in the hotel besides the pool & lobby.

Also they often use authentication pages that mean you can't get on with a device without a browser...but when you have 200 guests sharing a 100Mbps connection, you don't want someone hooking their Xbox or AppleTV anyway.
So apparently it took off, but why? Where did the initial 25.000 users come from?

In my opinion Instagram is completely useless and doesn't add anything to our lives. I really don't see the value of sharing photos with some "artistic" filter applied to them. I can share photos on facebook if I want, or on Twitter. I can edit photos with my phone, no instagram needed.

Abstract

Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment are advised to increase food intake to overcome the therapy-induced side effects, and weight loss. Dietary restriction is known to slow down the aging process and hence reduce age-related diseases such as cancer. Fasting or short-term starvation is more effective than dietary restriction to prevent cancer growth since starved cells switch off signals for growth and reproduction and enter a protective mode, while cancer cells, being mutated, are not sensitized by any external growth signals and are not protected against any stress. This phenomenon is known as differential stress resistance (DSR). Nutrient signaling pathways involving growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 axis and its downstream effectors, play a key role in DSR in response to starvation controlling the other cell maintenance systems, such as autophagy and apoptosis, that are related to the tumorigenesis. Yeast cells lacking these effectors are better protected against oxidative stress compared to normal cells. In the same way, starvation protects many cell lines and mice against high-dose chemotherapeutic drugs. According to a series of studies, fasting results in overall reduction in chemotherapy side effects in cancer patients. Data shows that starvation-dependent differential chemotherapy is safe, feasible and effective in cancer treatment, but the possible side effects of starvation limit its efficacy. However, further studies and clinical trials may result in its implementation in cancer treatment.

Keywords: Starvation; Dietary restriction; Differential stress resistance; Differential chemotherapy; Nutrient-signaling pathways.
Personally, I found it exceptionally well summarized. For me, the usefulness is in striving to not fall into one of these categories (as the conclusion hints, I certainly have the potential to end up that way from time to time). I could translate these anti-patterns to a list of advice (though I think it's better to read the original post):

Thinker: Design, but also don't hesitate to execute.

Talker: Discuss, but make sure the the discussion is fruitful, succinct and to the point.

The Entitled: Don't care too much about my title or titles of others - we are all working together to achieve some goal.

The Owner: Be open to suggestions and changes by others to ideas and code that originated with me.

The Recluse: No matter my specialization, I have to be able to pick up new technologies and processes, instead of blindly delegating every item I feel is not part of my expertise.
