Based on what I've read, which was heavily simplified, the brain cycles quickly between a chaotic and deterministic. Technically, chaotic is a form of deterministic, but it's definitely not random, not at the macro scale anyway.
Data Warehouses are a completely different beast. I've had to do research into several DWH offerings in the past, and Microsoft actually does a very good job. Each system has a lot of pros and cons and different performance characteristics for different kinds of loads, but there are plenty of 100TB+ Microsoft Data Warehouses.
+9001 insightful. As much as I miss the days of doing a 180 degree turn in 1/4 a second to head-shot, with my scout, someone trying to knife me, I now jump into CS and find myself dead most of the match. This also reminds me of the days of Quake Death Matches with grappling hooks enabled. I have no idea how I used to do so well other than a lot of practice.
I like to think that how "smart" a person is a product of their knowledge and understanding. Either on their own is only worth so much, but together, they amplify the other immensely.
You're confusing transit peering and local peering. Rational ISPs freely accept traffic locally, what they don't want to do is handle a huge amount of long distance routing for free. This is why Level 3 does a "cold potato" hand-off of CDN data. "Hot potato" being to quickly hand off at the nearest peering point, and "cold" being to handle the transit yourself and handing off the traffic nearest the requester.
Netflix is willing to drop the traffic on your door step, but f*ck you if you want to charge them for you to accept the package that you requested.
Only for certain implementations of TCP. Modern Torrent clients mostly monitor latency and will reduce their rate. It's not immediate, but it does back off, even without relying upon TCP.
It comes down to the ISP selling something it doesn't have, relative to average usage. If they sell a customer a 100mb line, and the customer decides to download a 5GB ISO, then they're going to download as quickly as possible until it's done. The key thing here is the "until done". Customers can't consume at full line rate 24/7. They either need to store the data or they need to watch/listen. You can only watch and listen so quickly and you only have so much storage. Eventually the issue fixes itself and a natural equilibrium occurs.
This is all part of the "average". If the ISP cannot handle "average" customer load, then they are over-subscribed beyond correctness.
Quantum fluctuations are currently just math. We can only interact indirectly with them when they actually create "something". Quantum fluctuations are not currently something physical, like energy or matter. Essentially, we're reaching a point where Quantum fluctuations can create space and time. We are bound to space and time.
The problem is we need to define what "nothing" is. We currently seem to define it as "the absence of something in space", but that seems wrong. It seems that space itself seems to be "something".
who documented the novel problem then worked out a solution
Working out a solution is architecting, and I shall quote someone
" architects decide what to do, and engineers figure out how to do it. What and how should not be kept too separate. You're asking for trouble if you try to decide what to do without understanding how to do it."
Gravity does not cause anything in space to bend, relative to itself. Everything thinks it's still going on a strait path or sitting still. Gravity is the warping of space-time, which only warps relative to itself.
Since "perfect" is impossible, making it a useless word, lets just redefine it to something useful, like the colloquial usage of "close enough with respect to the current standard margin of error.
Dedicated connections are cheap, it's the SLAs you pay for. If you don't care about an SLA, and just want a best effort dedicated connection, I can purchase a naked 10/10 connection for $40/month with Level 3 for upstream, that I can abused like a rented mule while getting flat pings that are better than my employer's 10gb fiber line. Want an SLA on that 10/10? $500/month.
With fiber, infrastructure costs are nearly the same no matter what, while still being cheaper. Yes, more trunk bandwidth may be used, but this is a small portion of the overall cost of being an ISP. Level 3 has over 20x more trunk bandwidth than Comcast, yet Comcast has nearly as much net profit as Level 3 has revenue. Bandwidth is cheap, last mile infrastructure expensive, but it doesn't matter if your users are using 1mb or 1gb, it's nearly the same price. Current fiber consolidators are meant to work in the terabit ranges.
What was the/. article from a little bit back? 50% of all student debt is with 10% of students, of which mostly make less than a high school grad. These for-profits have negative value, even if the education was free.
Exactly. My state Uni has over a 50% drop rate in the CS 101 class, and another 50% by the second semester. Get rid of the people who can't hack it early on so they don't accumulate debt.
"Your ISP can similarly offset home costs by making money on selling for example television."
ISPs make almost no money on TV and make a lot of money on Internet services. Servers and residential customers have completely different usage patterns. The average home user has a nearly idle connection while you average server has a lot of usage. You also have the issue of density.
A small data center is relatively easy to make efficient, but after a certain point, it starts to go backwards. Sometimes you start to give up low costs to gain more features or size, like AWS. You can quite easily find a smaller VPS or other datacenter to host your services for cheaper than AWS, but you won't find the same amount of features or flexibility.
Bandwidth is cheap, but a datacenter is not optimal for the kind of tech we have. We have cheap 1gb tech and relatively cheap 10tb(yes, terabits) tech, but nothing in between, which is were servers sit with their expensive 10gb/100gb ports.
Networks are symmetrical and upload is heavily used, which means a beefy upload pipe, but an crazy under-utilized down pipe. Incoming is free because of the lack of demand and huge amounts of supply.
Slashdot Mirror
A "general purpose processor" is really a processor with a bunch of specialized execution units, each one processing data serially.
The eyes do very basic "pre-processing", like amplifying edges and other things. It's pretty much limited to tuning contrast, sharpness, etc.

SSRS is free with any SQL license. There are paid 3rd party reporting services.

without a laptop and nothing to show
I don't even own a laptop yet have any projects to "show". Everything is company secrets, but I could whiteboard many things.
They think they're awesome and infallible. Easily manipulated by people who aren't technically inclined, but are great at social engineering.
