puppetmaster3··on Climate Model Predicts West Antarctic Ice Sheet Could Melt Rapidly
Hi Vixen.

In science, debate is encouraged. Seems that some are scared of a debate.

puppetmaster3··on Intel Xeon E5 v4 Review: Testing Broadwell-EP With Demanding Server Workloads
The powerful marketing is the multi core vs clock speed.

Sort of like: buy one get one free (of slower clock speed).

I am impressed. (by the effective marketing deflecting the importance of clock speed).

1. Oracle's lawyers are idiots as they can't show it's same. For example run apache http client jar on android and java. It's same. Idiots.

2. If Oracle's dumb lawyers win, I'm happy. I get paid a salary to work. Why should companies get code for free, why do they need me. Copying and violating a license is bad. Even GPL and other code I write, respect the license.

3. To summarize, would you want Google to violate GPL?

Wrong title, missing: in UK.
puppetmaster3··on Death by gentrification: the killing that shamed San Francisco
THANK you for comments, I honestly did not know that someone would be against it.

I assume this is from a left POV, I see it as plus that a local business succeeds, or a new local hosting gets built, at worst more tax revenue = more services. I wonder to self if higher education is also viewed as bad, as it has same effect - higher local prices. So the outcome to anti-gentrification is the abandoned neighborhoods that investors would not want to develop. Not something we can solve, just a warning to business to not grow in the anti-gentrification areas.

Why is gentrification bad?
puppetmaster3··on Study: Immigrants Founded 51% of U.S. Billion-Dollar Startups
I also think a qualifier like: 'legal' immigrants would give the story more credibility.
puppetmaster3··on JavaScript libraries should be written in TypeScript
It's open source. Get it?

Nothing all stoping, DIY, in fact encouraged. I agree .ts is great, and who ever desires a lib to be .ts, the only questions is: if you desire it, than make it so.

Top comment on the article: FRANK DEUTSCHMANN "Ah, the return of the rooming house - a fitting capstone for the Obama presidency. Yeah, he caused that."
puppetmaster3··on Toddlers Kill More People in the USA (with guns) Than Terrorists Do
Sometimes the legal system is wrong or even miss used: ergo, lets shut down the legal system.

Sometimes a car kills: ergo, lets ban cars.

Children.

Let me guess that party in power will see it that it is National Security that they stay in power?

Maybe use big data bayesian statistics to predict voters that will vote against them.

Is he pointing the finger again?
puppetmaster3··on TP-Link blocks open source router firmware to comply with new FCC rule
This is the most depressing news for human race during my lifetime.

I see this as sign of coming total control, followed by lack of initiative and stagnation of humanity.

puppetmaster3··on War Is a Racket (1935)
Interesting that you imply that Left would like less war.

It seems to me that the progressives main thing is to tell and enforce how others should live and behave, that is the core of the left, the other ideas are just branches. Evidence is the congress votes in USA by Left to start wars and votes by Taxed Enough Already (TEA) to defund the wars.

If you are anti war, I invite you to check out the Right, Libertarian POV.

puppetmaster3··on A Message to Our Customers
I'm a libertarian. But islamic terrorist phone is just evidence - Apple must unlock it for the FBI.

puppetmaster3··on Denmark confirms US sent rendition flight for Snowden
I moved to USA from Europe, here is my POV: Citizens are mostly poorly educated relative to Europe. Also politicians are more corrupt.

So the politicians have a free hand. For an empirical illustration : http://youtube.com/watch?v=HVOuK_KB9ew 85,000 callers out of 90,000 callers to a California senator (representing among others Silicon Valley) wanted a no vote. Senator voted yes. Or http://bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03hd981

Confidence level is 15% with media support, this is normal: http://pollingreport.com/CongJob.htm You have a choice of 2 parties. It is not a Euro style multi party democracy. Ex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_in_Switzerland

So: most people support Snowden, despite thought shaping that happens on forums. And Aaron. And Ian. Daniel. Hastings. But in age of big data, surveillance meta data can be used bayesian/predictive for internal politics (not for 'scary' external imagination). The winning move then is to be or appear passive. And anticapte tyrany. hth

puppetmaster3··on Parse is shutting down, shall I migrate to another BaaS or Parse OSS offering?
Yes. AWS lambda.

It's micro services. Remember 2000 data centers? Everyone was afraid to go Cloud.

I predict cloud is going to die, like it or not, up next is microservices by many names. http://www.programmableweb.com/apis/directory

That is the future.

puppetmaster3··on Request For Research: Basic Income

puppetmaster3··on Milligram: A minimalist CSS framework
In HTML dev, CSS base classes that explain your going to create pages is a framework, ex: BootStrap, Foundation, etc.

This is just a light one, that is the point.
