Github had a feminism mini-scandal a couple years ago: http://www.theverge.com/2014/3/15/5512462/github-developer-l...

I loved Linode and used them till about 2014 or so, but switched to Ramnode and then to Vultr. I needed storage more often than performance, I use them to tar mirrored package repositories mainly, and a Linode or Ramnode with double the space of one of those costs a fortune.

I hated everything about Ramnode, but I can't remember specifics. I stuck with Vultr after just setting up some storage instances because it was nice having everything in one spot. I've been able to host some wargames/CTFs as well because of the custom ISO support.

Seems like there's a lot of tinfoil around eye-level here; FYI not a shill and definitely accepting suggestions for other VPS with root, big storage, and custom os/iso options.

It's worth it for error-checking.

How many Americans are going to read this posting on an Indian regulator's website?

Luckily, this at least requires physical access.

The common name of this statue (Aphrodite of Milos) is Venus de Milo.

I think you can go ahead and relax. mox1 was making an argument about whether colleges could not dismiss anyone without a legal basis. mox1 was certainly not equating cheating with mental illness.

The M3800 is Dell's beefy 15" Linux laptop.

Oh yeah, that's true. Well, consider me convinced that it was appeal fodder.

I'm not 100% sure on the timetables, but one reason for it could be that defense's counsel was getting sustained objections for cross-examining outside of scope. In essence, defense was trying to use a government witness as their own witness to prove other points.

The judge didn't allow this, but the defense said that they had been able to use opposing witnesses in this manner before. So, while it may have been a dumb idea in the first place, the logic may have been that they didn't think they would need a witness until that surprise.

What scares me is Humpty Dumpty -- where in that rhyme does it say that Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

Yep, and we inherited them from the flashlight enthusiasts.

It's probably ok. Just not extremely common.

Not if it's a matter of a persons typical usage patterns exceeding some sort of structural limit. If 0.02% of people typically put too much pressure on the phone in their pocket, and 99.98% of people do not, then the 0.02% will have any iPhone 6 rapidly fail, and the 99.98% will see failures only after an unusual incident or after receiving a weaker than normal phone, and thus at a much slower rate.

Thanks for mentioning the NX500 -- I have the 2012 as well, and I have been looking for months for something that could be a better Windows laptop than the rMBP -- I've come up with nothing. I like OSX when I'm a user, but not for working.

The NX500 looks like it might be the one -- but I'm probably filling in the information gaps with hopes and dreams.

And better to say that! This article seems to confirm that Khan Academy is teaching to university standards. The problem is, that almost all institutions teach the mechanics -- or at least, almost all teachers. If this particular professor teaches to the novel application level, wonderful. But a significant percentage of his peers do not.

That was the intent of the jab -- you could say it about any place that 'teaches' math.

Bang for the buck = efficiency, so you just answered the question "Why is it more efficient?" with, "Because it is more efficient."

The reason, more or less, is that AMD GPUs tend to have way more cores than Nvidia GPUs, and their cores can, in hardware, do the integer operation necessary for the hashing algorithm. Nvidia can only emulate the integer operation, so it takes three instructions on Nvidia vs one on AMD.

I am the same as you, as far as focusing on finance and tech. I think there are reasons why these topics are far less stressful or depressing: Tech news and reviews are exciting when they are good, and irrelevant when they are bad. If something gets some bed press, you simply don't buy! Also the tone is often nice, probably because tech reviewers have a pretty good job. They get to play with new things all the time and get paid.

Finance is usually upbeat as well -- now, I get most of my news from Bloomberg, if that matters. But since hedge funds can't advertise, literally everyone in the financial news chain benefits from the stock market going up. This may tend to color reports to the positive, making for a happier listening experience. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt that they would ever "color" a story, then even in difficult times, the focus is on investment opportunities and interviews are always with those doing well. Ever since I switched to Bloomberg news radio and a focus on online tech news, I feel like I can bear to live in the world again!

Yes please!

Seriously? Thank your lucky stars you were born in the correct generation. You used to have to read a page of text just to get advertised to. http://imgur.com/ljQZgEJ

There are certainly more online guides to the former than the latter. Also, heatsinks come with instructions in the box. But yeah, I'll bet the "enthusiast" label applies to a greater diversity of people than one would immediately assume....

Of course, I understand that. But it lasted so long, through tenured generation after generation. Even though I'm aware it wasn't anyone's master work, it had to be quite frustrating to miss it decade after decade.

I think, after a few missed drops, that I might have added a backup camera.

BGR also notes that the same screen is used for both the iPhone 5 and the iPod Touch. It can't simply be assumed that the iPhone demand has lessened because Apple orders less of one component used in multiple lines of products.

Right, they're dragging down the average.
