Occam's Razor here suggests that the SEP doesn't actually enforce the limit (it's clearly not enforcing the delays, either), and that the almighty Marketing Department defeated the security engineers once again. It's muc

When IBM bought SoftLayer, it destroyed the value proposition of SoftLayer, and we had to move. Looks like we'll be shopping for a new provider, again.

"At 10 times revenues, to give you a 10-year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends. That assumes I can get that by my shareholders. That assumes I have zero cost of goods sold, which is very har

This is the standard blanket denial of an enormous number of mens' lived experiences. The vast majority of heterosexual women lose respect for a man who shows weakness, and it's certainly not "women doing what men do",

This is interesting, but raises a question. The article mentions: In San Francisco, vault lights are mostly used to illuminate sub-sidewalk basements — ie. basements that extend under the sidewalk. How does this work, legally? Where I liv

natural remedies are not patentable Never underestimate the ability of our dystopian modernity to do precisely this. Amarin patented a specific variation of fish oil (one that is no more bioavailable than literally eating a fish, just mor

Can you elaborate on this? I've never heard of such a phenomenon. What aspect of the holidays is rough for some? edit: This is a legitimate question, in case it wasn't obvious. edit 2: Got it, no questions allowed. Apologies.

The author isn't wrong about protobuf's shortcomings, but to say: and solve a problem that nobody but Google really has Is pretty absurd. There are plenty of projects that serialize a LOT of data between different runtimes/

Physicians are in an incredibly privileged position. In no other profession can one murder a quarter million Americans annually(1) via chart reading apathy or gross incompetence at multiplying by 10, and not only keep one's job, but ge

best we have ever had by many measurements The problem with this view is that Easter Island was probably the best it ever was until the last tree was cut down. Of COURSE your standard of living will be the highest it's ever been when

This already happens. Interactive Brokers, for instance, will issue you a debit card that charges against your margin account. You can choose to cover the margin later by closing positions, or use it like a credit card and pay interest on t

Casey Muratori and Jonathan Blow have been bitching about this for many years, now, and they're absolutely right. But it's not just UI latency - it's everything. Modern software is, technically and morally, a five alarm tire

The niche of people who actually care about privacy is vanishingly small, and I would hazard a guess that it overlaps strongly with the niche of people who would buy a raspberry pi to tinker with. At this point, we're better off rolli

The tinfoil hat interpretation is that rifles are far more effective in both battlefield (full barrel) and urban warfare (carbines) than sidearms, and confiscating them removes the last chance any populace has against its own government. Su

I don't know what a good yardstick would be, but CPI is definitely not it. US CPI weights the entire Medical Products & Services category at 8.68% vs its actual weighting of 18.1% as a fraction of GDP. The average price of a new ve

Especially because a number of these RV dwellers are permanently-nomadic drug-addicts who engage in property crime to fuel their habits. Property crime is already a crime, hence the term. Assuming your stereotype is accurate, the police w

Nothing was "destroyed". Rather, it was rolled over for bidding the next day (or 14 days, depending on the specific operation). It's an important distinction, because until the actual FRB balance sheet unwinds back to the $3.

China's MSS can't indiscriminately shoot my dog and throw a flash-bang into my child's crib, but the FBI can. I'd rather gamble with the evil oppressive government that doesn't have jurisdiction here, than the evil

Indeed. The flip-side to this is that speculative investment on unprofitable moonshots seems to be where ALL the equity-finance money is. My company reliably earns low-7-figures on high-7-figures revenue, with respectable but not amazing

Yes, pretty much this. The Lithuanian government has no interest in me, and even if they did, they have no jurisdiction here. One should always be more interested in privacy from the government that has authority to no-knock raid your home

Sure. But why not offer the option ? Google offers me Gmail for $5/mo. Why won't they do that with search? Why won't FB or Twitter do the same? Ad-free google search is easily worth >$28/yr and I'd gladly pay it

That's because, as per usual, they buried the lede. First, they cherry-picked studies. Second, the few studies they referenced addressed overall school performance , not performance of the gifted students. A perfectly valid way of rea
