I've personally had three fixed wireless installations over the past decade. Two residential, one business. I've researched the option in numerous additional cases for both business and residential service.

Both business and consumer services are typically more expensive by 10-100% and have installation (particularly LOS) requirements many -- if not most, in topographically unfavorable areas -- cannot meet. While the business services are usually OK once installed, consumer services are particularly unstable and the equipment prone to early death.

Notably, the wireless ISPs I'm familiar with ended up either shut down or moving to a different line of primary business as soon as any sort of viable wired service made it into town.

While far better than relying on mobile data if you don't have other options, it's still definitely not a substitute, even for DSL.
Calling FUD here. Do you have any precedent or any other legal basis for imagining that this reclassification will somehow allow FCC to regulate content on the internet.
Spartan isn't a subset of IE either. We've added support for nearly 50 standards, and more. The delta between IE and Spartan is massive, and growing quickly.
IMHO you can't make an orchestration product that a devops person will like. The only people i've met who appreciate pre-built, non-customized orchestration tools are people who can't program.

For the devops crowd, I think fail-closed or fail-safe shell scripts work really well for orchestration. Too many times i've seen a really complex chain of operations make it much harder to debug and fix a problem because the tool was trying to be smarter than it needed to be, or ignored failures. You get faster development time, simplicity, portability, extensibility, interoperability, etc for free. And really i'm sick of re-writing the same tool only to later fix it with a shell script because tackling the tool would be too complex or time-consuming.
Bit rushed this morning so no time to sugar coat this - hopefully it helps you get on track:

I think it might've been worth a bit more time before showing it off. The front page tells me nothing and the About page is waffly. Put in some screenshots of a nice example - that wouldn't take long. Saves me reading the text.

I tried the privacy.daybook.io link you provided, but that had a fancy pageturn, then two incomplete page promos (little point providing the first three words - not enough) and a burger menu that didn't do anything.

I clicked through to the Privacy Policy, then tried to use my back button and the page didn't change. The pageturning swipe introduced earlier doesn't seem to do anything here, but I can click the burger menu now.

There are also loads of typos in the copy. In some places it's "daybook", others it's "Daybook". Get a friend to proofread for you and standardise your product name.

Where's your Daybook? Make that one great and use that as the demo.
But the people who modified the author's code didn't comply with the terms of use for that code... they took something and didn't "pay" for it... the price in terms of GPL and licensing code isn't money, but it is still payment. If a company doesn't want to pay for code that they take, they should write it all themselves or take code that doesn't require payment... GPL requires payment of including modified sources with redistribution.
So their only argument is the "slippery slope" one. That's pretty weak given how difficult it was to get these rules passed.

Also, in Verizon v. FCC SCOTUS essentially reinforced the Chevron doctrine even more. So there essentially is no slippery slope at the FCC. They don't require a gradual rules change procedure, there is no slippery slope for them to fall down.
I've done this a few times in recent memory and on at least two of them it's bitten me already. In one instance I wanted to use an external service to handle email drip campaigns. It turns out that introducing an external service added a lot of synchronization problems I was not prepared for, and I'm still dealing with those today. In another instance, I wanted to use a workflow management system. The DSL for job specification ended up causing more headaches than it resolved and the tradeoff for the additional monitoring capability it was adding wasn't worth it. I try to think harder about the specific parts that I do want to write and which parts I will really gain from by outsourcing.
Summary of paper:

All n = 0, 2, 4 mod 6 are divisible by 2.
All n = 0, 3 mod 6 are divisible by 3.

Thus all primes are either 1 or 5 mod 6.

If n is composite and 1 mod 6, n = pq with p, q > 1 such that both p and q are both 1 or both 5 mod 6.

If n is composite and 5 mod 6, n = pq with p, q > 1 such that (wlog) p is 1 mod 6 and q is 5 mod 6.

What remains are the primes.

You have to look a little bit deeper than arithmetic modulo 6 if you want to say something interesting about the primes!
It does fancy stuff, but the fancy stuff it does consists of things that either alert you to something (and thus are over after a second), or that let you do some simple (and quickly done-with) interaction without having to pull out your phone.

Despite "smartwatch" sounding like "smartphone", there's really nothing you'd want to do with its UX that could last an hour.

Remember Windows SideShow[1]? It was a technology to allow OEMs to do things like putting an extra display on the lid of a laptop, that would indicate things when the laptop was closed and mostly asleep. That's what the watch is for: indicating things when your phone is closed and mostly asleep. If it indicates something interesting, you don't continue interacting with it; you take out your phone.

I'm not saying this to defend Apple's product in particular; it's probably far too expensive to get the right adoption in its market, and is more like an initial market-testing experiment in the same way Google Glass was.

But passive/reactive UX is a great idea, generally. The constant complaints about being stuck in a cubicle staring at a screen, or teenagers staring at their phones all day, are precisely because that's where our alerts are, and we don't want to miss them... but it's also where a bunch of engaging+distracting stuff is, so in the process of trying to stay on top of our alerts, we get constantly pulled back into engaging with the engaging stuff.

Imagine if, to check your email, you had to log into World of Warcraft or Second Life and wander over to your virtual mailbox on your virtual driveway. Lots of potential for distraction during that, right? But waking up your phone or your laptop, with its manifold social apps and games and media to consume, is nearly as bad.

Technologies with passive or reactive UXes allow us to treat technology as something poking its head into your door and asking a question, rather than something you need to "submerge into" like some sort of virtual reality.

I look forward to the day when every $5 Swatch watch gives you your phone's alerts. At that point, the glowing rectangle will become only a productivity device: something for creation, live collaboration, or media consumption; something you intentionally engage with for defined periods. But not something you need to context-switch back to every three minutes to see if you got an email, and end up reading HN while you've got it open.

> But when somebody jumps into a discussion with a few sentences, asking who they are and what their motivations are is much more reasonable.

Not really. You're not taking the idea of ad hominem far enough. When somebody jumps into a discussion with a few sentence and no citations or evidence, you ought to reject the validity of that argument regardless of who is presenting the argument. That argument is unsubstantiated, period, whether it's posted by a brand new throwaway account or a renowned expert in the area of discussion.
Against the concept of democratic government, or against the implementation of a purely democratic government with no other additional regulations?

I think it's the same thing with the "free market". The general concept is sound, but there are corner cases that must be addressed. Infrastructure, I would argue, is one of those.

I wrote a singleton just the other day. I dont often write these but occasionally they are useful.

It enabled us to decouple some code deep down in our architecture and enforce some constraints around the use of this particular piece.

When you actually need a singleton it's best to use one and call it out as such so people know what they are dealing with. Dependency injection will often be passing around a singleton everywhere without people being aware that it's a singleton and all that that means.
How does it make it difficult?
> Is the cautious approach then to treat a p-value in the absence of priors on the same level as a p-value in presence of unfavorable priors?

In the presence of a poor prior the Bayesian probability would be biased in some way, so frequentists would say that the p-value in the absence of priors is actually superior in this case. Bayesians would reply that if they thought the prior might be poor then they would simply consider multiple different priors, but it's not clear how this would improve things much over the frequentist approach that simply assumes that the prior is unknown.

> So when you don't know the prior and you observe a low p-value on something, isn't that just "preliminary research" that needs to be further confirmed with other methods or at least the same test but using other data?

Yes, when you observe a p-value with low significance it should definitely indicate to you that more testing is necessary, either by using different testing methods, gathering new samples, or even just increasing the original sample size if that's possible. What I was trying to suggest in my last paragraph was that this should be the case even when we have highly significant p-values, because even significant p-values are not decisive. So even when we have "confirmatory research" that is highly statistically significant, we should still do all of the things that we would do when we have a p-value with low significance. It is sometimes the case that this subsequent research will overturn even very highly statistically significant results (though often this is unfortunately because mistakes in the original statistical methodology are uncovered).
I pissed off crows and they punished me for 2 weeks.

My uncivilized hooligan former neighbors had a young tree in their yard which they purposely allowed to grow for years right in the foundation of our brick wall. It started casting a shadow in our garden as well. There were no nests in the 20 foot young tree and the property was abandoned and now owned by the bank. So I ran over and cut it down. It was big enough to start cracking the foundation.

Big mistake, I should have worn a disguise. The crows who live in the tree above the one I cut took saw this as vandalism (well it technically was). For 2 weeks they would poop on my car non-stop. Only my car. They knew the PT Cruiser was mine, they shat all over that car. They specifically aimed for the door handle on the driver's side. I have never seen such vengeful birds and such nasty bird crap. It was discussing. They'd carpet bomb it all day, every day, for 2 weeks. I would have about 14 bird crap splatters on the car on any given day. They finally stopped after about 2 weeks.

I should have had a neighbor do it or worn a disguise.
Are you using Daybook?
Your last sentence describes Google.
They're given public rights of way and tax write offs to build their infrastructure. So yeah, they have a public duty.
Your information is not correct. You can have 100M shares and still pay the minimum tax (well, not $175, but $300). From http://corp.delaware.gov/frtaxcalc.shtml

Use the method that results in the lesser tax

The tax rate under this method is $350.00 per million or portion of a million

So as long as your assets are below $1M, your tax due is $350. If you really want to minimize your rate to $175 instead, then yes, issue only 5000 shares.
You are both right. It's a RAM-like key-value store with large (block-sized) values.
You mean O(sqrt(n)), not quadratic. And given that the most obvious algorithm there is (check every possible divisor up to sqrt(n)) is O(sqrt(n)) arithmetic operations, I think it is fair to say this is not an important result.

I suppose it is a constant factor better than sqrt(n). But tricks along these lines go back to Gauss, at least.

Edit: ah I see, they claim O(n^2). Well I've never had an O(n^2) primality test before. I will put that in my kit of "do-not-ever-use-this" tools, just in case all my other ones break.
This is amazing!

The main benefit is that we are cooking new things a lot more often. Three times a week, from scratch. You get pretty good at small dicing onions, I'll tell you that. Before, it was maybe cooking one time a week from a real recipe, plus pizza, pasta, leftovers, restaurants, and take-out.
This. Disbanding the IE team after "winning" the first browser war was a terrible mistake. IE fell behind technically, but they caught up again in recent years. However their reputation among web developers and even end users hasn't really recovered.

As an aside, a great way to anger an IE engineer is to remind them that the entire reason their team exists is because of Mozilla and Firefox. I truly believe that had Firefox not come out, the web browser winter would have continued until the rise of smart phones.

I think we are all happy here that the vote went in favor of net neutrality, but some are unhappy about the way it happened. For example, classifying internet access as a utility and introducing lots of new regulations. It could just make it more difficult for more businesses to enter the market.
BuySide was pretty much the same thing. Here's the MLS, visit all the open houses you want on your own and drop our name as the buying agent, and come to us when you are ready to drop an offer letter.

So when you prepare and transmit an offer on behalf of your client and the selling agent responds with a counteroffer, who receives that? Who gets it back in the hands of the buyer?

Who advises the client on preparing the counter-counteroffer? Or are your offers more of a "buyer proposes $X take it or leave it" exploding deal?
This. They're not adopting, or becoming part of a culture, they're indulging in it as spectacle. If you bought your Mason Jar specifically to drink out of, you have missed the entire cultural context.
It sounds like a great idea to "get rid of abstraction" and have the file system handle the NAND directly if you don't think about it.

But if you think about it for even a little bit you realize that you can't just get rid of the abstraction, you're just moving it out of the drive's firmware and into the file system. And that gets you nothing because now the file system has to be compatible with every manufacturer's NAND drives. And the file system has to be updated any time that system needs to be changed. You can't just pop a new NAND drive in and have it work, you have to download new NAND drivers for the file system, etc.

I'm also skeptical of just how much performance gain you'd see. The article doesn't include these figures, which makes me skeptical that they are significant.

Delegation of duties is important for good system design. Drives necessarily need to present themselves in a standard way to the system. Having SSDs appear like normal drives is fine. They aren't memory and they shouldn't be used as memory.

There is nothing inherently linking startups and technology with engaging in working-class tourism.
The worst thing about this article is how hilariously smug and self-assured the tone is.

Seriously, what gives the author the right to blanketly declare the lives of the middle class to be souless, meaningless, and that their jobs are bullshit? How does he not realize that he is projecting his own insecurity and outdated ideas about "authenticity" on to these people.

Honestly, I've found that most people don't really give a shit about doing something truly meaningful and soul-fulfilling in their work. I may, you probably do too. But most people are fine with showing up, doing what they have to do, then getting out and spending time with the people that they love. What is so wrong with that?

Sure, we get it, the visual signifiers of the exotic have changed over the last 10 years. Once upon a time in the UK it was Superclubs and being part of something fancy and opulent. Now, the iconography of the working-class has been appropriated - and people want to buy into that, probably based on the tail-end of the skeuomorphic thing - where we were desiring to feel connected to nostalgia based aesthetics.

But what the author doesn't get is that people are deeply social. Sure, the economic and cultural environment will shift things the modes of interactions - but people will continue forming relationships with friends, relaying experiences, dancing to dumb songs with their friends. The artcile had some great observations, but maybe rethink framing this as "a problem" and stick to the description of culture (which was actually interesting).

>Nobody purchases directly from mainstream TV ads. //

I doubt this is true. A small minority, yes, sure, I can certainly accept that. Any company that does a product based advertising push with a product launch also seems to disagree with you. I don't watch mainstream TV (partly to avoid advertising) but the little I do see still appears to have some direct purchase focussed ads - particularly kids toys at Christmas (it happens to be that I saw kids FTA-TV just before Christmas).

CTR seems a pretty good metric for engagement (yes you can't some false clicks; also assuming no one is maliciously generating clicks).

Impressions seems prone to many problems that don't make it easy to measure accurately - just because an ad is requested doesn't mean it's rendered to the viewable page area.

Still, I run ads on my blog which make it self-financing. I also have donation buttons (Paypal) and modified my widgets to allow ads to be turned off per blog-post - so some posts don't have any ads at all. Never had a donation but have financed itself [ie server costs + domain names + perhaps a tiny bit more] on ads for ~8 years.
What's wrong with message passing though - MPI does it, Erlang does it - surely this paradigm can deliver good performance for data and task parallelism.

America has a love/hate relationship with snobbism and elitism.

I think very roughly, Americans are fine with economic classes, but not with social classes. Probably because even our rich are mostly new money outside of Manhattan elite.

We love us some Warren Buffet, but hate fatcat, bluebooded new york bankers.

It probably explains why reality TV is obsessed with following around Rich people doing mundane things.
