To be fair, running everything on the same host is very efficient. It's just risky in terms of (lack of) redundancy and unpredictable loads. When hardware was expensive the idea was to make everything as tiny and efficient as possibl

I get loads of verification emails too. eCard sites don't usually require email validation but that doesn't stop them from trying!

I have had a similar problem for about two decades now in regards to eCards (virtual greeting cards). I own youknowwhat.com and one of my email addresses is youknowwho@youknowwhat... Turns out that thousands of people every year think they

Outsourced labor is logged as CapEx in SEC filings and is a means of hiding labor expenses to improve EBITDA (which is used as a primary indicator of business health). If businesses had to report outsourced labor as OpEx instead of CapEx ma

I'm failing to see what's wrong with this. I also don't see how an organization like the NBA or FIFA or whoever can make a claim to "own" the events of a game. The sale of exclusivity rights seems like the scam: The

I don't think there's any mystery at all what Trump plans to do. It's right there in his big plan PDF: * Repeal ACA * Keep pre-existing conditions aspect. * Keep 26-and-under insured by parents. * Boost health savin

What's funny about this is that health savings accounts are really just a discount program based on your tax bracket . The higher your tax bracket the bigger the discount. So in other words, the richer you are the more you'll sav

I don't think the sexism/racism shouts from progressives at Trump (and his supporters) were related to conservatives' disapproval of Clinton. The folks that voted for Trump did so not because they are sexist; they did it beca

I just want to add that I really like where Tokio is going. The architecture seems well-thought-out and exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. There's only one problem though... It's still under construction! Every da

This looks awesome. It's exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for as a means to bridge the gap between web libraries that want to own the mio::poll::poll() loop (providing no access to register listeners of your own) and ro

The fbx exporter can be tricky... Make sure you have your whole model selected before exporting and also switch from cycles rendering to Blender engine before export. I found those two things fix missing stuff in exports of all kinds =)

Yeah, finance "innovated" itself into a recession. Bitcoin is the exception, not the rule. And the machine learning in finance isn't very innovative at all. In fact, working in the industry I'd say they really don't

Honestly, just get a nice Linux laptop from one of several vendors. Laptops with Linux preinstalled don't suffer from the typical issues that users often complain about when switching from Windows. They also have the added benefit of r

I always think it's funny to see journalists raving over features added to Windows or Macs that have been in Linux for a while. Like PMEM is somehow this brand new thing to operating systems that will "supercharge" servers. L

At my employer we considered Vault. It's easily the best-in-class right now for free vaulting of credentials but it's missing a number of features and I disagree with a few implementation details... Firstly, it doesn't actua

You assume that this current broken state was unintentional. I believe this situation is intentional and was predicted and expected. Back when Obamacare was being debated I and many others argued that the best it could do would be to slow

I don't think he was blaming the older folks. He was just pointing out why their insurance plan was horribly expensive. There's no argument to be made, it's just a fact: Old(er) people have higher health care costs. Everyone

I think we're just experiencing the ultimate end game of the system. The ACA was nothing more than ointment on an infected wound. It worked for a time but it is becoming more and more obvious that this leg our economy needs to be ampu

Wow is right. I had no idea they were doing so poorly! Did some of their key patents expire or something? Or maybe we've hit "peak phone/tablet"? Haha

I'm not so sure this should be allowed. If Qualcomm buys NXP that means they'll own Freescale. That would reduce the number of mobile phone processor manufacturers down to just Qualcomm, ST Micro, Nvidia, Apple, and Samsung. Reali

> You actually think it's a good thing that millions of people spend their time this way! You're putting words in my mouth. I never said that. I was pointing out that the amount of disruption was being vastly underestimated.

Actually all systems are fair game to the auditors. If an auditor wants to see something they get to see it 99% of the time. End of story. They really don't care about systems that don't process financial information! They don&#

You're not even close to a realistic comparison. As a percentage of jobs overall, people working with horses, milkmen, switchboard operators, etc didn't amount to the sheer enormity of the jobs that will be obsoleted or displaced

This is nonsense. Not every system in banks needs to be highly available. That's just silly. Like the print server on the 3rd floor needs an active standby! Haha. No, just like any organization banks have "critical" systems

I work for a huge bank and the system of record thing is spot-on. I don't think there's any law that says we must operate systems of record in certain ways or keep records of every little thing but remember that this is banki

Not just a monopoly, but also when power concentration becomes too much of a risk to the market. If just one of the big banks were to fail it could take down the entire economy along with it. Even after all the stress tests... Because they

I love rzip but it is important to note that it is not a stream compressor. So it is unsuitable for most of the use cases of LZMA2 which can compress data on the fly or have data appended on the end of a file at a later date. So rzip is pro
