Either way, the US government has full control of the top level domain system, imposing its moral values on the world. This is in contrast to ICANN claiming independence from the US government. It's time to hand it over to an international body vs letting a government impose its values on the world.
Be aware of skinparasites.com - they are scammers. I once tried to figure out some skin problems I had, they almost convinced me a) I had that and b) to give them $10k for "research".. I was desperate and younger but I chose not to give them the money.
Pretty disgusting and very paranoid people. Mention anything and all of a sudden you have a parasitic infection and no one will listen.. it's us vs them fancy pance doctors. So give us money and we'll solve this.
Ignorance is bliss. Yes java hogs memory but with tuning that isn't a problem. I've personally used hibernate+struts to create large websites in a matter of 2 months, all java, revenue rolled in and life went on. Use whatever does the job, if you're close minded then it will only hurt yourself in the long run. You'll find this out.
Slashdot didn't say evil, it is the truth, although there are some minor variations(one repub/4 dems), republicans didnt quite spearhead a net neutrality clause:
"By an 8-to-23 margin, the committee members rejected a Democratic-backed "Net neutrality" amendment to a current piece of telecommunications legislation."
Anti immigrant, anti foreigners(Lenovo, CNOOC 18.b billion USD bid for US oil company, Dubai ports deal, Israeli attempt to by US security firm,etc etc). We're like this precisely when reports come out saying there is little savings by Americans. Foreigners are flush with cash, they are sitting on piles and piles of dollars, and they're finding dollars are harder to use.
I still maintain that as this continues this will increase inflation, USD will be the new monopoly money.
Google came into the online advertising world late and they are lucky no one patented online advertising before them. Yes Overture did something disgusting but that was late into the game, we're talking advertising, banners, CPM, CPC, not just bidding. Google is morphing into a disguting filthy animal. I don't care if "they're just as bad as anyone else", they are actually worse than the pioneers who paved the way for them and didnt set up patent landmines.
Yes, but they didn't aquire it in a year, and certainly won't cash-out in a year.
No, they will slowly cash out over time and looking at the forex that is happening, foreigners havent been showing up to US treasury auctions like they used to since December.
This is all completely besides the point. Do you even remember the subject, now??? You were saying that USDs are worthless because they can't buy snort or the ports... BFD. USD are anything but worthless, just because there are a handful of things they can't aquire. Nobody buys foreign currency so that they can buy up a foreign country. They do it because the foreign currency is stronger than their local currency, and they expect profit from the deal. There's still nothing stopping people from buying currency, or cashing-out of the currency at full market value, whenever they chose. There's absolutely no reason things like this would cause any sort of a panic.
If you want to rant about foreign investements, go right ahead, but at least be honest about it.
They do not accumulate reserves because the USD is "stronger than their local currency." They do it for many reasons but it is mostly to avoid the financial crises of the 90's. The dollar is anointed a stable currency and in order to protect against down times they need dollars since they can't just print them like we do. They can of course pull an Agentina and start their printing presses but that ended up a failure, hence countries like Argentina have large USD reserves. Not as an investment but as a hedge against any financial crises they might have. If they truly wanted an investment they would have invested in the euro as that went up against the dollar considerably in the last few years.
Also, with the US being China's largest importer of their goods, China has a surplus of dollars, if they really wanted to invest them in the best investments they are SOL... They cannot since any meaningful selling they do of dollars will tank the dollar at the level of the trillions in reserves we are talking about. They have an interest not in "finding the best ROI for dollars" but in making sure the dollar doesnt inflate too much so they have a market for their products. We give them goods on credit, they finance that credit. It's not as simple as you claim and although the USD is not worthless today, that can change in the future as the pieces of the puzzle are put together. The US in the end produces little nowadays except for marketing, lawyers and services. That does not an economy make and the 1% annualized GDP growth of Dec. vs the 8%+ of emerging markets is an example of this.
That's absolutely ridiculous. Foreign interests are able to own more US companies than ever before. The fact that they can't own EVERYTHING isn't going to slow them down one bit.
Even if you're incredible paranoid theory was right, and they couldn't invest in anything, they could still quite easily cash-out by currency exchange, buying gold, or buying just about anything else of value.
The amount of liquid dollars abroad is staggering, I don't think you realize what the trillions of USD sitting idle in China, Japan et al really means. By 2008 China alone will have accumulated $1 trilion in USD, just under half of the annual federal budget. I'd like to see your attitude when IBM, Microsoft, every corporation you think of as American, is owned by foreigners, I don't think it's a bad thing but a lot of other Americans will think that's not a good thing.
We are now on an isolationist path, we are fighting the trillions in USD sitting on the sidelines waiting to gobble up everything American.
Oh, and I can assure you that if they decided to cash out of trillions in USD monopoly money and buy gold, well you can get the picture of what will happen to the USD. Hint: it will plummet like a rock. Of course this would hurt them so they will slowly move away from the USD which is what foreigners are doing as of late - they've been absent recently in the treasury auctions.
There are a lot of US dollars on the sidelines waiting to invest in the U.S. Although these deals, amounting to billions, seem insignificant, you should account for all the others looking at what is happening, looking at their billions in reserves and scratching their heads wondering what to do with all this monopoly money. If they attempt to use USD in a meaningful way, investing in America vs buying things, they would raise the eye of the US Government hence they just sit on their reserves and sooner or later they'll get wise to the charade, the only question is when will this happen.
All these foreigners collect dollars by selling products/services, and when they try to use these dollars - with the Dubai ports deal or this case - they are rejected by the US Government.
So essentially foreigners are stuck with 'funny money' which they cannot use as true currency. Sooner or later they will wake up, sell dollars en masse and opt for another currency after they realize they have been had. They've been giving us commodities and services while we give them monopoly money.
Let me get this straight, you support letting stand the ability of the federal government to convict you of obscenity laws and you think this is a win for state's rights?
In your previous life did you write propaganda for Stalin?
Effective CPM tells you everything you need to know, the little bit of data like where the mouse is is all gravy. Nothing in this article shows innovation or anything remotely new/interesting. In fact, online advertising hasnt evolved much from the 90's with the exception of adsense.
I have seen mysql pushed to its limits and it worked. Mysql is funny, we tweaked things a lot, found out it doesnt like to join more than 5 or so tables, beyond that it doesnt want to use indexes. This may have changed in recent versions.
BUT, when dealing with mysql, I cursed up a storm and became a violent man figuring out its little quirks. With postgres I'm very calm, the universe makes sense and I get things done without wanting to take an AK-47 and kill everything in sight.
One issue I have with postgres is its partitioning support. Yes that's great that they added it but what we need is a global index, THEN we're talking oracle-quality database. It's mostly there, but that added step would be absolutely huge.
I'm going to try slony soon so I hope to hell that scales.
That is a valid complain, one that these "tax payer representatives" have clinged to to delay this. I think though that the most qualified people have been chosen, so as a voter who actually voted for this, I have no problems with them deciding who to give the money to. We need the research yesterday, if it goes to the UC system because a UC regent is on the board I really don't care.
These are a few people who lost on the ballot who are now resigned to purporting to represent voters. Hey, I got an idea, I'll create a group with my buddies, slap a "People for Tax Payers and Other Americans" then hold up any ballot initiative I don't like. Win for democracy and our representative form of government!
Californians voted for this. End of story, don't spin it.
That's a trivial example for the SQL. Note that if you'd written that in HQL, you'd have to re-write to normal SQL. Want a more solid example? Try writing HQL that does a group by using an aggregate function (like sum). It's fine to do in SQL, but in HQL forget it. There are other examples out there but that's one that bit me.
That bit me as well, so I actually used aggregates in HQL which worked but my brain hurt. But that case for me is a small case so I use native SQL, map those into beans and use the beans in the display. I then query the jdbc result set metadata, stuffing those into corresponding beans. And I have a table of SQL queries used for this system. Eh, big deal, it's just a fraction of the system.
As for the Hibernate tools everything I'm reading says you control reverse engineering etc. using XML files. If you're telling me I don't need to hand write them I'll have to take a look at the Eclipse tools more closely. Last time I looked (last year) these tools were very new and not quite there but they'd already discontinued the old tools.
It's an XML file but you can get a list of tables add/remove them from the XML with the mouse, then you can do the same with the type mappings. To use sequences you'll have to break out into XML but it really isnt a big deal IMO. And yes, the hibernate tools plugin only recently, as of around December, became usable.
Have you ever done it? It's awkward and you end up hand mapping from a result set. There may or may not be a better way but frankly I find the Hibernate documentation abysmal, the versions of Hibernate aren't backward compatible, and to top it off the mediators on the Hibernate forums tend to tell you to read the documentation if you raise a legimate concern (if they're being polite that day).
Yeah it's easy, just use the {} operator:
Query sqlQuery = sess.createSQLQuery("select {cat.*} from cats {cat}", "cat", Cat.class); sqlQuery.setMaxResults(50); List cats = sqlQuery.list();
You've doubled your complexity. You're using 2 different ways of doing everything - from the query language to the actual object mapping.
It can't do everything, I'll take what I can get.
I have to disagree with that one I'm afraid. You just move mapping code into hibernate configs instead, and end up having to debug both.
I don't touch the config files.
I generate them.
You must be using Hibernate 2. Hibernate 3 removes and deprecates the hibernate tools, substituting a very flexible but much less graphical ant based tool, though I believe people are attempting to writing mapping tools on top of that. (Please let me know if I'm wrong on this one. If you're doing this in Hibernate 3 I'd appreciate being pointed to the tool. No sarcasm here.)
It's graphical enough, not like middlegen but it's very nice, does the job. I point it to the DB, restrict tables if I choose, decide if say a BOOL maps to Boolean/boolean, etc. and then, in eclipse, click generate and it generates the POJO files and hibernate mapping documents.
I've got no interest in being cynical and against the grain. Rather I'm totally dishearted by the rubbish that gets pedaled as if it were pure genius. I mean for pity sake move the mappings from strongly typed Java code to XML hell configs then claim to be really configurable and reusable??? Come on, who's actually reused a hibernate mapping for more than one class??? Then they somehow magically claim you don't have to write code, ignoring the XML. This has always just ticked me off.
You don't have to muck with xml files, read the above.
I was at a Spring conference the other day, and the amount of smoke and mirror handwaving rubbish I heard amazed me - more because people took notice of it and thought it was wonderful than for the fact that someone could say it.
As for the rest, I've never dealt with the Hibernate team but I've read enough of their posts that I know I don't want to.
Hibernate is amazing, Gavin, the creator, if you're out there, you are a giant ass wipe.
HQL has major limitations but you can rip out into native SQL using createSQLQuery() I believe. Map it into a hibernate class and you're golden.
When selecting aggregates, JDBC works well. But Hibernate is pretty amazing if you are aware of its limitations. 90% of my code uses hibernate, 10% uses jdbc.
And the code that uses hibernate is pretty neat, it cuts down dev time significantly. I use hibernate tools in eclipse, point it to the DB and it generates all the classes, parsing foreign keys, making the associations.
Don't get me wrong, I like to be unique and cynical, against the grain if you will, but hibernate, despite the jerk off creator of it, is amazing and useful.
but when you're giving them your traffic patterns/sales/etc via analytics then providing them with your effective CPM/CPC and of course impressions and clicks via adsense, then they have a better idea vs if you just didn't go through them.
