Further, unemployment benefits are managed by the states, and those states are running web services which typically see a few hundred hits a day. They are now trying to process tens of thousands of new records each day, and at least in MI

You sound like a reasonable person and I have every reason to believe you’re acting in good faith. Your website suggests a patent pending in Russia. I am completely unfamiliar with Russian IP law which might be the source of my misunderst

Your post said nothing about the patent itself, and simply stated that this open source project should be paying you. It's not exactly the best approach on a site like this. How about outlining the specific patent claims you feel are

I don't see how the permissions requested here would be substantially different in IOS. This isn't a matter of the OS, both Android and IOS offer fine-grained controls that are accessible to the user. It's up to the applicat

"Emergent" is the term used in the trade. Webster has this to say: > “Emergent” properly means “emerging” and normally refers to events that are just beginning—barely noticeable rather than catastrophic. “Emergency” is an adje

Are there electronic music producers out there who are going to be offended by the word murder? Seems like a weird addition to this story. Dark grey text labels on a black background is a horrible idea for the sorts of lighting conditions

> Rick turning himself into a pickle [1] (because ??? he could) I feel like most people miss the thrust of that episode. Pickle Rick is an allegory about Rick’s drinking problem taken to an absurd literalist extreme.

And that's presuming that the entities that held the original license still exist today. It's a morass that can be nearly impossible to dig your way out of after 10+ years.

Win7 won't be open sourced for the same reason that makes nearly any large closed-source software project nearly impossible to re-license: it's packed full of licensed code and libraries that don't belong to MS.

Not trying to be argumentative here, but is what they did actually against the rules? I'm not at all familiar with this competition which might be why I'm not quite so worked up about this, so maybe I have misunderstood something

Their solution made use of the data available to them in a "prize" that was nothing more than a made-up competition for fun. Did the rules expressly say somewhere that one could not make use of available datasets?

I'm confused by this reaction here - this was a _brilliant_ hack of the system and I think his work should be celebrated. Was it in keeping with the intention of the competition? Of course not. Were lives threatened by their creativ

Zigbee interoperability isn't what you might think it is. Think of it like a layer 1-4 interop, while layer 7 (application layer) can, and in many cases is, up to the device vendor. That means Zigbee radios in your house can use each

* Wake up * Make coffee * Consume coffee edit: I'm only being half-flippant here. The routine of making a pour-over coffee for the wife, then an espresso for myself is a great way to clear the fog and get my mind prepared for the day

Getting more power into a datacenter is a different problem than getting more (already available) power into a rack. I suppose I could have added "if your existing power distribution system can handle the extra power capacity".
861.
by luma 7y ago
In most cases the cooling capacity is in fact the actual limit you are running up against. Getting more power into a rack is a simple matter of running more cable. Getting more power _out_ of the rack is a much more complicated issue to r

I hear this argument framed so many ways, but to me it always comes down to the simple fact: if you put distance between yourself and the rest of civilization, don’t be surprised when you don’t reap the same benefits from that civilization.

When I walk into my local grocer, they offer better deals on the house brand and advertise as such. Why does Amazon need to push people toward someone else’s product? We don’t hold any other retailer I can think of to this standard.
