Talking about symmetric links only makes sense when you think about backbone providers. When you're talking about residential ISPs, their traffic is by default asymmetric (residential customers consume bits and request much smaller num

I'm sorry that you missed out on the meat of the article, which talks about the lead generation industry and how leads and contact info will get continually re-sold to attempt to extract as much value from the knowledge that someone is

It doesn't guarantee a perfect allocation, but one that is compatible with everyone's preferences. A is willing to pay up to $750 for the nice room and up to $250 for the bad room. B is willing to pay up to $500 for either room. A

You can get fired for any reason except a blacklist of reasons that are illegal to get fired for. That means in order to fire someone, a lawyer will tell you that you need to be able to explain why the reason isn't in the blacklist.

You mean the problem with Direct Memory Access is that it's Direct? Memory protection, authorization checks, and user consent are all implemented by the CPU knowing which pieces of memory are what. If you use DMA you're just writi

If the NSA was able to break RSA, there's about a .1% chance they'd tell people about it.

Whose pipe is the one clogged completely by this? Yours or Google's? Congratulations, even if Google does this stupidly you just DOSed yourself. I'd imagine there are a ton of protections in place for their proxies to not take stu

I'm confused here. Why would match _want_ fake profiles on the site? Wouldn't that drive people away pretty quickly once they catch on that the hot chicks they're trying to talk to aren't what they seem?

Wow, so simple, and yet it leads to all kinds of discussions of space complexity, what counts as branching, etc.

So every document, email, and memo should have a redacted version generated at the same time as it is generated? Every time omeone creates a spreadsheet or DB table, they have to review which parts of it are revealable under FOIA? That is..

If a very small number of people keep making large numbers of requests that bog down the team working on fulfilling them, it might make sense to prioritize requests from other people instead.

How is there any sort of difference? The effect of reducing the supply of treasury bonds in the market and increasing the supply of money in the economy is the same, regardless of whether the bond is removed from the open market at auction

That comment is very misleading. The subsidy being talked about is not research subsidies, which pay lab costs and grad student stipends, not professors. Instead it's about tuition assistance in the form of student loans and grants. Th

Well sure there are some concerns that might be rational causes for concern, but to come to the conclusion that the pros of vaccination are exceeded by the cons is not anywhere close to rational.

The UN story, like the G8 story, honestly is old news. The US has been spying on diplomats for a long time now (see the last section in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Naval_Treaty for instance).

What exactly do computerized record processing systems have to do with algorithmic trading, besides that both use computers to do the actual processing necessary?

The way to think about this is that they have dozens of people who were already scrambling to fix it by the time you realized. You're not going to build an alternative with better uptime than Google.

You didn't contribute in any way to the discussion. Just posting on a thread that's tangentially related to your product isn't engaging in discussion (which is the point of the discussion thread), it's posting an ad.

We can't all be in the top 1% of achievers, but that doesn't mean we all shouldn't try. Far more than 1% of people are capable of being above the threshold for "top 1% of achievers" as judged by today. Similarly, st

Two factor is a huge step. One of the biggest impacts of phishing is due to credential reuse across sites. The damage that a phishing site (or compromised site) can do is quite limited if you have two factor auth for your other sites. Also,
