Why do most corporations run their own email servers and domains? For the same reasons. Engineers know how companies that provide email services really run behind the scenes. Companies do whatever the fuck they want and lie about it. They employ questionable people. You just see the good, happy end user side of it. Without substantial auditing and a strong contract there is no reason to trust something as simple as email services to a third party.
A few years ago I tried contacting the first author (who did this research as her PhD thesis) to ask for any code or algorithm calibration parameters they had. I also contacted the university (to ask for the thesis) and some other people I found on the web who were listed as contributors or supervisors to this work (although that didn't include the other authors of this paper, maybe it wasn't published yet back then?)

Never heard from any of them, even after several tries. Rather disappointing - usually people are jumping with joy that others have read their work and will jump at any chance to send material (I know I am). I don't know if they thought they could make a product out of it, but if they did or tried, I've never seen or found it.

That said, what I found missing from the research was a comparison of this (highly computationally intensive) statistics-based line rendering with other, move naive (stochastical) but (much) faster line drawing algorithms. It's not hard to come up with a modification of Bresenham's algorithm that adds some (Perlin) noise to stroke width and color intensity (as a proxy for pressure), and which produces (in my subjective, anecdotal judgement) a lot like hand-drawn strokes.

(I realize my first paragraph puts a moral imperative on me posting a link to my code of this, but alas my two evenings of work on this were wiped away when I thought it would be a good idea to experiment with using Scons as a build system and then accidentally switching the order of two arguments somewhere, causing my .cpp file to be overwritten with an empty file).

Sure, of course I prefer shorter code. But I'd much rather read a hundred straightforward lines than wrap my head around yet another abstraction (of which there are thousands in any non trivial codebase).

I must disagree on the switch statement. A main loop with an rather large switch statement is a perfectly normal way to write a trivial interpreter. C provides a nice way of doing it, and as long as you declare your constants properly it's all perfectly readable. A lot of excellent code bases are structured that way. (Awk comes to mind, IIRC, and it's very easy to read and extend.)
I wouldn't think it's hugely limiting. In practice I'd speculate that the majority of torrents out there are either around 180MB, 370MB, or 1800MB

It sounds like you think you're disagreeing with him, yet the housing crisis, as you say, is due to limited building, and lots of MPs have property portfolios which more building will threaten the value of. Meanwhile those who already own large properties are happy to see wealth transferred by this arrangement from the young and poor to the old and wealthy and reliably vote for it to continue (while complaining about 'subsidy junkies' who want something for nothing).

So a simple problem to solve, except for the fact that its being intentionally inflicted on people by those with power for their financial benefit.

It is a limit, yes. That is a very large baby you are throwing out with the bath water.
It's limited because the original S3 only supported objects up to 5 GB. (Indeed, at times objects of over 2 GB didn't work...)

English is a very flexible and versatile language. The word "in" may be used in either of those senses, among many others.

5. (used to indicate means): sketched in ink; spoken in French.

Say nothing except to ask for council. You cannot be charged for asking for a lawyer. Google "Don't talk to the police" and watch the first YouTube video of the lawyer and the police officer both telling you the same thing.

5 Steps to Get More Sales with Social Listening
You're probably right that the majority of torrents on the internet line up with the common TV show sizes, but it doesn't at all follow that users of this service will follow that distribution.

I have 60gb files in S3, and saturating available bandwidth to download them in a reasonable time frame if they're not in the same country is actually a bit of a challenge.

Bit torrent would be one of the fastest and fault tolerant ways to retrieve the files, so it not being available stings a bit.

While I'm trying to download large files on consumer internet, I'd imagine that huge files between geographic locations and server grade connections would face a similar problem.

Primarily the all-in-one spec file is a lot easier to read and write than the scattered files of deb. Also the build system is considerably simpler and more coherent -- you don't have the mess of dh vs cdbs vs flavour of the month. RPM has a nice language and macro system. It's not that deb is bad, just that when I have to package for both, I find the RPM one simpler and easier.

Here is a relative simple package, done for both RPM and .deb. The RPM spec is 141 lines (excluding the changelog):

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/virt-top.git/tree/virt-to...

The .deb is actually shorter in this case, but split over several files, and uses cdbs which I find infuriating with its lack of documentation and multiple hidden implicit rules. If you have a Debian machine around, try reading the /usr/share/cdbs/1/ files some time. Remember also that for most Debian packages, the files come in a tarball or even a patch, which makes them hard to manipulate without obscure deb-* commands.

It may be, but it should not. You can go alone for the purpose of making friends with yourself. I this is why, I think, lots of people prefer not to be alone: they are afraid of reflection. Or, god forbid, being alone in silence, without some loud music to deafen the voices you might hear.
I see being alone as a kind of meditation.

As someone who prizes his high quality movie torrents, I can testify that files over 5GB in size don't stay adequately seeded for very long after their initial release.

It seems like an arbitrary limit, but an adequate one for the time being.

Try reading 'DRIVE' by Daniel Pink. You like to play you say? You're exactly the kind of person he's writing about. Old skool 'algorithmic' work needs a carrot or stick to motivate workers. Heuristic, creative work needs something else entirely. It needs a sense of autonomy, mastership and something he calls 'something larger' or a connection to relevant topic of helping others in society. These 3 will motivate people like you (and me for that matter).
For simple things on the command line it is usually easiest to use a language you're comfortable with if there is also good libraries availible. If you write C++ all day you can use C++ for file mungling if you find the libraries you need (for example html-parsing or xml-parsing).

I used to write scripts in Ruby since I liked the syntax, it was very easy, nowdays I have tried javascript since I use it anyway in web projects and Node/NPM has a lot of modules ready. One thing I like with scripting languages is that I usually need to tweak the script a bit over time and that is very easy to do with scripting languages, even on different computers which may or may not have a compiler.
The Scary Revelation: Advertising Options on Facebook and Twitter

That sounds similar to the freehold/leasehold system that exists in the UK. In this the owner of a piece of property can sell a leasehold, which is the right to exclusive use for a set period of time (nowadays it is usually 999 years for residential property, but 99 years used to be common). At the end of the leasehold ownership rights revert to the freeholder. This was very convenient for landed nobility, who could re-sell the same land every couple of generations. The Duke of Westminster did very well out of it.

The right of a leaseholder to force sale of the freehold to themselves was introduced a few years ago, so this system will slowly fade.
Yes, but PyMite is not a Python, it's a Python-like language - there're too many features lacking (e.g. proper exception support) to develop Python applications comfortably. And to clarify, MicroPython targets any environment with ANSI C99 support. It will work on 8-bit or even 1-bit microcontrollers, given enough code storage and RAM.

> average minimal living costs will gradually equalize globally, as low-cost machine labor becomes ubiquitous

This doesn't follow. Scarce resources alone (housing/land/water/transport bandwidth etc) dictate large differences and effects of unchecked greenhouse gas emissions will make this more pronounced. And it's going to be a long time (if ever) before robot labour can erase the effect of local human labour cost (such as daycare) from causing local cost-of-living differences. And global liberalization of immigration is also pretty far off - before that there will be lots of cheap labour to compete with robots outside rich countries.

The author is mixing up two things: APIs and sensors and doing a bit of hand-waving across the join.

APIs are a solvable/solved problem - there should be no reason why web apps can't follow the same model for sharing contacts, accessing the camera etc.

Sensors? Depends which you mean. Web apps can get location data to a certain degree and can probably fall back to just asking in some scenarios.

What other sensors? I'm not aware of many killer social applications using my accelerometer or barometer.

There's a germ of an interesting idea here. More meat on it please.

The key detail not mentioned in that article is that this is primarily an issue of London, which the rest of the country does not share. Outside London, house prices are a lot more reasonable and there isn't really a major shortage.

The planning permission details in there appear to be a distraction - release of low-value "green belt" land, like that pictured in the article, does happen where needed. The big problem in London is that any proposal for new construction will be met with fierce opposition from nearby homeowners on the grounds of congested roads, limited parking space, overuse of local amenities, and lowering the value of their own properties.

You are right, I think it's the only way to expand this kind of service, and the reason why they require the bags to fit in a sedan.

We can even imagine an uberpop for thrash with untrained people driving and destroying their car with thrash, and picking up hazardous wastes such as asbestos and everything that should be highly regulated instead.

If there is room for improvement the solution is always an uber for X because people have cars and people need money.

To be a little bit more constructive, there are already lots of convenient ways to get rid of stuff we don't want anymore, most of them requiring some time investment. But that's not so bad since owning and getting rid of stuff should come at a price. A price we generally dont pay when buying stuff (the recycling tax for electric stuff in Europe is a joke for example).
There are just a handful of public transportation systems that aren't subsidized with tax money. The Tokyo subway system is a good example, but even there it's probably only profitable because the subway lines own prime real estate around stations.
An idea breading for long time already: in image compression, wouldn't a processing pass subtracting such a raw approximation of the image from the actual image allow for better compression?
