I'd view it as: 1. People do this generally 2. There are a critical mass of Indians in American tech companies, creating ripe conditions among that group in particular It's fine IMO, total 1st world problem to complain about, bu

If you're doing analytics that require full table scans, indices are pure overhead. No database will beat just piping all the records through some process for full scans.

A CIA office jam packed with SIGINT capabilities and there's zero hard evidence of this microwave weapon. Just a bunch of anecdotal symptoms that sound like a hangover. My evaluation and analysis capabilities don't include just b

It's much less emphasized compared to MySQL, I didn't even know about it until your comment, and search results are sparse. MySQL has had multiple viable storage engines for most of its existence. MyISAM, InnoDB and more recently

It doesn't have to be a Russian psyop to be skeptical of the US government line. They had been telling us the Cubans have a secret microwave superweapon in the weeks prior to Ukraine going off.

If that's your angle, then this 8 billion is a terrible distortion of the free market which should be focusing on stock buybacks. There's no world where both the buybacks and the subsidy both make sense.

They tried a few times in the 60s (pan-arabism) but it always broke down over the question of who to put in charge.

We did kill that top Iranian general out of the blue under Pompeo's watch, same time frame. So it's hard to say other assassination plots were just hot air and would never be acted out.

Server portions probably run on Linux, though, which the phone also runs. And most business software written in the last 25 years assumes a web browser for a client. Yes, there's a lot of software outside that box but quite a lot in i

Xiaomi and Huawei already distribute billions of devices not using Intel. You could take their phones, right now, plug in a keyboard and monitor and call it a workstation.

What I've heard is that the great leap forward and associated famine are acknowledged in official accounts, but the cultural revolution is increasingly downplayed. The latter is more worrisome to me because it required enthusiastic par

It's a footgun if your cluster is providing data/compute to other systems, absolutely, the case you mentioned is a risk worth extra network traffic to avoid. But theoretically, if we're trying to beat a benchmark or something

If I recall correctly, hbase performance problems had a lot to do with jdk 1.6 garbage collection, rather than the data location strategy.

One interesting idea that got lost in the last 10 years was "push compute to the data", saving a network transfer. It seems like these days most systems prefer the flexibility of separate data/compute and are willing to pay t

It's been a few generations since Bretton Woods, today's true believers have been soaking up the prevailing consensus since high school. No need to convince yourself if it's all you've ever known.

That's the point, uniquely unsympathetic people get sentences that are about making us feel good for handing them out. Add in Madoff's victims being rich and connected and you get 150 years.

Hadn't heard of her. Apparently she wrote a book called "Mao's America". Anyways I think you're being unfair to the original comment, they didn't say what you're claiming.

I'm honestly asking what you're talking about, the people mentioned in grandparent comment are american conservative personalities who as far as I know have never been publicly beaten, displayed in a cage and forced to self-critic

It's a fair question, people are always trying to work the refs. It sounds like a real problem to me but I'm not in school either.

Not without sprinkling the word "unofficially" in front of various nouns, including the key noun "ally".

Correct. Not even officially recognized as a country, it came out of the Nixon talks. Yes, it's silly.

There's very clear jurisprudence on when free speech can be abridged, and it's not "vague suspicions of being nefarious". In the 2000s it was the arabs, in the 90s it was the Japanese, in the 80s it was the Russians. Wh

It's not about the Chinese, or any other decade's Official Villain. Its about us and our principles. Whether we stick to them. There's no "unless they're Chinese" clause in the first amendment.

Technically, the US official position on Taiwan is that they are not even independent, let alone an ally. Of course it would be silly to sell them Aegis missile systems if we really believed that. But that's our official position.

Lots of people nervous about no longer being number 1, so they manufacture a narrative of conflict which, as you point out, has nothing to do with reality.

Funny example, US Steel was a textbook case for a monopoly achieved privately because it wasn't regulated against.
