All the things you listed are things to be planned for. None of them are extremely terrible in and off themselves with the proper vigilance. Even the data logging should be solvable with reasonable laws. Apply the general argument to person

Hyperbole, or just wanting to watch the world burn, aside, why is IoT, as an idea, retarded? It seems to me that having the underlying platform for secured communication to semi-smart technology is good. If my house could intelligently gove

Is it true that monopolies necessarily hurt? Look at YKK, pretty much a monopoly. Were for years. But when you really had to go, you could count on the zipper (unless is froze, which case buttons are better). https://www.intellig

Nope. That's just a shitty English translation. The Jews at the time were familiar with different types of ropes/threads. It is most likely that Jesus referred to the type of rope used in fishing which is much larger than a thread

Self-actualization and spirituality seldom go hand in hand with wealth. Poor people have improved spirituality than wealthier people. Wealth draws your focus away from those things onto pleasures like sleeping around, or owning the latest i

That is fair. From watching HN over the years, Google seems to prefer certain US colleges for new US grads. I myopically assumed a US-centric perspective in my comment. If you come from one of the large well respected programs like GA Tech,

Kinda...if you have work experience from somewhere else you could get into Google. Amazon is a bit more open; you have to put up with their interview crap.

I would say that the United States does not want a functioning government and that is by design. Remember the Federalists? They argued for a better government than the US had under the Articles of Confederation (kinda EU like body before ou

I'd say Spring Boot. When you use JPA for basic data access, you don't have to have much in the way of data code. It's really easy to use Spring MVC for web front ends with Thymeleaf. It's really easy to make REST for wh

Thank you. I'm reading over it now and for the next few days (to really grok it). I do wonder how bad it will be for low write situations. At the same time I'm open to switching to BigInt and using Postgresql-xl.

Can you go into a bit more detail? I've seen amplification referenced before. My estimation is that the database will be pretty much read heavy. I will need to split a given database across multiple instances.

I've literally been waffling back and forth between UUID and BigInt for the last week. The reason for this is I need to handle eventually distributed systems. Do I need UUIDs? Maybe not, but after much debt, I've decided that the

Has there been any new books out there to learn D? I have one that still references the Collection Wars (Phobos vs Native). Once I saw that, I put the book back on the shelf and stuck with Java.

OMSCS. The TAs refuse to answer questions because it could help cheating. They won't review homework because it could help cheating. They've created an environment so full of fear that it's impossible to learn from mistakes.

I'm in the GA Tech program. Chose AI since I've never touched it. Every course has been terrible in this track. The lectures are awful. The readings take hours upon hours. The TAs pathologically refuse to answer guestions without

From my little experience with the AI community, I think people in it love to obfuscate things. Any attempt to make a topic approachable, even if some of the details are lost, get smacked around. I face this every day in my Masters. If you

I thought that had more to do with the fractured taxing powers of the Feds, state and various local taxing authorities. For example Florida sales tax is 6%, but my county charges a 1% tax to provide sand road maintenance and paving. Pretack

Minor point, in a well functioning Democracy the self interest is the people. I don't think we have that right now.

So why is this necessarily bad? My understanding is that the Congress repealed a fiat control by the executive branch. They can now, if they are are so inclined, enshrine in law, a more durable medium than agency policy, a freer Internet. L

Node was a good idea for highly connected IO based networking. It think it goes a bit far when used for web development (rendering performs on the main loop). As far as reuse goes, no idea. I've heard mixed reviews. I do know that miss

It really should be zero or at least no higher than 20%. You're double taxing corps. You tax the consumer's paycheck, then tax the corp when it sells.

As much as I like my Citizens Echo, I think the smartphone killed the watch for many. To introduce a watch after many abandoned them is odd. Until the screen is about as big as half a smartphone with twice the battery, I don't see the

I've been struggling with this a lot lately. I'm in a Masters program. I'm struggling. After a lot of reflection, it's due largely to the way the class is taught. I need lots of examples over the field. Don't throw

You never know, Garry, you never know [1]. Honestly it's silly boarding on stupid that we can't do that. I've heard various arguments. Most of them come down to a) doctors are sacrosanct, or b) it would cost too much money. 1

We can't do that for many basic surgeries or medicines. Not because it's impossible, it's just that many hospitals and doctors don't know how much something costs [1, 2]. At the same time, for traumatic injuries, etc, yo

The analysis in that article showed little to no thought about side effects. Sure, the mobs existed before hand, both Irish and Italian. However, they were initial police forces for the ghettos. What prohibition did is give them a cash infu

The problem arises when you don't have any money to save. Also there is often a barrier to getting an account for an IRA. Scottrade is $500. That's a lot of money for a welfare recipient. Also at least in the US, we test total ass

Timing the market doesn't mean pin point, cracker jack timing. Just not bay of pigs timing. I pulled 25% my 401k out in 2008 into bonds and a money market. Saved a good 15%. Then re-invested towards the bottom. Not perfect bottom to ge
