I'll add to that that the breaking of stuff when people finally abandonned flash is exactly the sort of thing we want to avoid!

Single, methodologically flawed, unreplicated studies have no business being publicised as scientific results in the popular media.

Maybe at least read the abstract. > Contrary to a widespread view, we demonstrate that Europe's lower inequality levels cannot be explained by more equalizing tax and transfer systems.

This is readable... if I zoom in. Might be good for screens that are extremely low-resolution, but large. Maybe something that isn't actually intended to be a screen or something.

Brains do not actually work very similarly to artificial neural networks. The connectionist approach is no longer favored, and human brains are not arranged in regular grids of fully interconnected layers. ANNs were inspired by how people t

Yeah, its not like the bank gave access to your account to the wrong person and now they're not paying you back. You did something with stuff you legitimately own and control and now you regret it. That's a big difference to me.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the blackout? The point is to force people to use less electricity. All you're doing is cheating the system by stockpiling it before the cutoff.

It really is an indication that someone lacks critical thinking skills. To read satire and never question its validity implies they accepted it uncritically, never asked if it was plausible or reasonable, never thought if the source was tru

More interesting to me is this history on balloon animals: > The Aztecs created the first balloon sculptures using wildcat intestines, which were then presented to the gods as a sacrifice.

It seems like not a day goes by without someone writing an article about their experiences dealing with well-meaning, but none-the-less insane policies and procedures of the apple app review process.

In an authoritarian regime, free speech is a weapon.

The airplane was invented by the Wright Brothers, does that mean someone on a flight from Japan to South Korea is bound by US law? I can understand if the SEC said that all compute nodes residing in the United States, and any organization l

Serious question, when can I start learning to read and write Elamite? I'd love to get onto the ground floor of a newly deciphered language.

That is such a misrepresentation of what I said I think you might have just misread it or something. They should pay for their education with money. If they can't afford medical school, they can take out a loan. That loan shouldn'

> no relation to OOP ‘classes’ I think functional programmers go too far in insisting how different functional programming is. A typeclass indeed is very similar to an interface in object oriented languages and you can even have default

I don't think it should be legal to charge employees for training in any form. Either provide it for free, or don't provide it at all. What possible purpose does putting yourself in the middle as both the lender and beneficiary ha

I feel bad for this guy. He managed to beat someone way better than himself and now everyone is accusing him of cheating with absolutely zero evidence. What chess engines have done is make everyone paraniod.

Okay, but its still a group of people.

That's great, but they specifically sold it as not having Lisp-like syntax. And yet its incredibly Lisp-like.

And yet its still filled with unncessary parentheses like an involuntary tic.

Okay, but lets say containers are how we manage applications at scale. And so now you want these containers to still be distributed among regions, among different computers, to be increasingly interconnected, online, to be efficient. Maybe

That was an illustration of why the phrase was silly and wrong. I wasn't trying to argue the author intended to convey that idea.

While that has a logic to it, I don't think that's the logic or meaning of the terms as they are generally used in English. If you mean 98% cheaper, say that, not 60 times cheaper. Two times or three times the price means you mult
117.
by c3534l 4y ago
Because that's what "times more/less" means. 2 times the cost is 200% the cost. Half off is the price times fifty percent (1/2). A sixtieth isn't 60 times anything in any direction.

by c3534l 4y ago
It makes no sense. 100% cheaper would be free. 60,000% cheaper would imply they pay you the cost of 59 books to take it off your hands. That's quite a sale.

I mean, alright. Xen and Hyper-V then. VMware is just what I'm most familiar with in the data center.

It wasn't the right time yet. Virtualization has only just come to the data center and taken off. People no longer have their single expensive PC, but utilize a multitude of devices. Cloud storage is just making its way onto people&#x2
