Company I just left after 12 years had an entire /8 and a /16. One of the projects I worked on in 2014 was moving a lot of the stuff out of the /16 (which had been owned by a subsidiary that was bought almost 20 years ago) and into the larger subnet.

I heard rumors that they were going to renumber out of the /8 and start using RFC1918 addresses for all "internal" (non-Internet-facing) stuff in the next couple of years.
Well yeah, but there's a powerful argument that militaries have been increasingly acting as over-amped global police forces. Part of this is a growing queasiness with war, like the OP, who don't understand what it is. It's why we use precision munitions and snipers instead of just firebombing cities. It's why we go door to door to "detain" people instead of just shelling the house.

The next logical step, and the one the military is very actively pursuing, is nonlethals.

Looking quickly at a random handful of currently operating Eutelsat satellites, two launched by Ariane, one by Zenit (Russian/American/Norwegian/Ukranian), one by Proton (Russian), one by Atlas V (American). I think Eutelsat is already pretty familiar with the multi-vendor approach.

Edit - I don't mean to kill interesting conversations around this, but be aware we're looking at an implementation that simply doesn't work, so we should only really be talking about similar but different possible approaches. Anything like this is so fundamentally flawed as to not even currently work against currently used algorithms.

So if we want to go down that road, what more extreme things might we need to do?

I'm currently administering a Drupal site and plan to migrate to WordPress. One of the big reasons is that, every time I look for a solution to a Drupal problem that someone else has solved via a module, the best I get is something that only works on version 6 and hasn't been updated for two years. Whenever I check for similar solutions on WordPress, I almost always find something up-to-date that solves my problems. I'll gladly pay $50 for some premium plugin so I don't have to write my own. I've got plenty of other things to do in the day.

I don't want to ruffle too many feathers here but people often ask why someone would invest in alternative investments like a hedge fund or private equity fund rather than hold an ETF.

This is one of the reasons, and there are many more. If you held a Nasdaq ETF from 2000 until now, you would have had to wait to 15 years to make back most of your gains. The Nikkei has been even worse... http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/NKY:IND

That doesn't mean everyone should try to add alternative investments, I think most people should hold ETF's. But rather most people should not blindly follow the dogma of holding an ETF that represents the market regardless of market conditions.

I can't believe I'm going to recommend a Tony Robbins book, but his latest book on investing is actually pretty good, actually you just need to read chapters 5 and 6 to save you some time.

I'd recommend most people check out his "All Seasons" portfolio that he got from Ray Dalio. I mean if you can get Ray Dalio's expertise working for you, you've got a great chance of having things work out for you!

Eh I think this analysis is pretty shallow and misses some key points.

A. Is the product/service something approximating a commodity?

If the answer is yes, then certainly premium pricing is not sustainable. In the case of cloud services it's not quite a commodity, but ultimately if the [cloud] service meets the customers technical and service/support requirements the main differentiator is going to be price.

B. How high are the switching costs?

Once a customer has invested in a certain product or product ecosystem, how expensive is it for them to switch? With Apple vs Android the costs are not necessarily high, but it takes a decent amount of work to transfer media and adjust to new ways of doing things. For some customers that may not be worth it.

C. How big of a factor is branding?

See Apple, GoPro, Amazon, BMW, Mercedes, Coach, etc. With a physical product the brand is often a such large component of the buyer's decision that even if there is a cheaper similar product it[the cheaper item] doesn't even get consideration. A Hyundai Genesis has many of the same luxury features as a BMW 5 series but is much cheaper. But, probably 90% of the time, the person considering a 5 series is never going to even set foot in the Hyundai dealership.

In the IT context, the choice might be between a well-known software vendor and a much-cheaper alternative. But enterprise customers typically are going to go with the name-brand option, even if they don't need all the bells and whistles it provides. Many shops don't need something like Salesforce but they pay the premium just the same.

D. How price sensitive is the target customer?

Depending on the customer and the market, sometimes the customer doesn't really care if there is a cheaper alternative. They're happy with what they're doing and the price difference might be a rounding error to them so they just stick with what they've always been doing.

So yes, premium pricing can't last for some scenarios but that's hardly a rule.
They're a remanufacturer, and probably work with a lot of off-lease computers and the like. The $89 price point suggests they're taking 7-8 year old dells and the like, testing them to make sure they work, and putting them in a snazzy new case. So, some machines may be loaded with new ram, some may have faster processors, etc. It's a bit of a lottery, but with a nicer warranty than the 90 days you get with most off-lease stuff.

Try listing the atomic facts (ignoring, for simplicity's sake, their underlying facts, or any references to authoritative sources) for the following statement. As an exercise that may possibly illuminate why that hasn't happened.

"37 minutes ago hilyan was hoping that the next generation of wikis (especially as used by wikipedia) would introduce an underlying 'fact unit' [1] layer on which articles are built, effectively separating edit wars from verification wars.

[1] Not the same as a 'knol', which as defined by Google was not a unit. A real knol would be a single atomic fact."

I will interpret a lack of responses as evidence for failure. ;)

Plenty of TVs and monitors still have a VGA port, so that's not a surprise. Furthermore this is basically a PC from 10 years ago and not a top notch one (I'm looking to HD, CPU and network card - I had a laptop with 10/100/1000). It's interesting that you can still run a 2014 OS on that hardware. There is probably some value in using an Intel chip instead of an ARM one even if I bet that most Linux software runs on ARM too (all my Linux boxes are x86_64).
Yep! If you want to learn a lot more about this stuff, search for the buzzword "codata." Basically, we can start to define type systems which "wall off" a section (which may or may not have all the things you want to compute in practice; we don't know!) which follows simple recursive rules from a base case up. This section is called "data", acting upon it programmatically is called "recursion", and proofs about it are called "induction". This part of the computer is not Turing-complete and therefore we can solve the halting problem. Everything else is "codata" acted upon with "corecursion" and reasoned about with "coinduction".

One super-awesome thing about the "data" used in codata systems is that, once you've proven that something halts, there is no formal distinction between lazy and eager evaluation -- it simply becomes a choice that the compiler makes, perhaps guided by pragmas inserted by a smart programmer.

One not-so-awesome thing: consider the normal model of the natural numbers, `data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat` where every number is either 0 or the successor of another natural number. The obvious definition of recursion involves stripping off a `Succ` structure one level deeper. Anything which follows that pattern is proven to halt, so it's a whitelisted computation that can be used in other data-computations.

But now, consider the usual algorithm for GCD:

gcd' m n | n == 0 = m
| m < n = gcd' n m
| otherwise = gcd' n (mod m n)

Is this corecursive or recursive? It's clearly recursive. But does the computer know that? We have to clue it in. We need to tell the computer that actually, given our definition of recursion here -- "it's recursive if we only go from n to n - 1" -- holds a larger theorem, "it's recursive if we only go from n to some number strictly less than n". Even then, we have to prove that `mod m n < n` and our system needs to be guided to understand that it's okay if `m` increases as long as `n` is strictly decreasing (the arguments could have been flipped, after all).

So this is your "additional axioms in the system." They come when your "recursion" method is not the most obvious way to traverse the data structure; in this case we're using argument-swaps and jumping through the graph of N to traverse two data structures simultaneously and it creates a bunch of headaches.

While javert's comment might have been un-sympathetic, its narrative is true. People have gotten on disability in proportion to the reduction of people on welfare. Check out this awesome Planet Money piece: http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/

This does not mean that these people are bad or that we should end disability aid. But it's true... people are becoming "disabled" as a means of surviving.
Not an accident. Maths is philosophy in the same sense that physics is philosophy (in fact it was called "natural philosophy"): both are subsets of the general thing.

Philosophy is the "science of everything", and as such, all fields of (western, academic) knowledge are considered parts of it. Math in particular is formally equivalent to logic, which is the universal language on which philosophy is written.

The short answer is that index investing is a different asset class to hedge funds and private equity, with a very different risk profile. And remember, there are plenty of different hedge funds with different strategies, industry focus, capital structure, etc. and the same goes for private equity. For example, private equity is very similar to a VC, they give LPs access to a type of company which is not public... and we all know how varied the VC industry is. Investors need to build a portfolio, and this requires a wide range of asset clases.
Yeah that's a different band.
Buying the NASDAQ doesn't seem as prudent as buying a more representative fund covering the whole market. Not everything has done as badly as the NASDAQ. And you could do a lot worse than a whole-market index fund.

I use Zoho for my startup's email, mainly because it's free at our usage level, and we're very budget conscious at the moment.

I worked in standardized testing for ten years for SAT's competitor and am very familiar with the SAT as well, and phenomenal effort was made detect and correct for racial, gender and cultural bias. I cranked out crates of statistical analysis using SAS analyzing every demographic breakdown looking for statistical anomalies in answers so they could be excluded from scoring (and mainly preventing pretest items from ever being scored items in the first place.) If blacks (or whites, or women, or Eskimos) performed statistically significantly worse on a question, then it was thrown out of scoring.

Yeah, they have a financial interest in promoting their snakeoil.
