During the day â" the bandwidth is normal to AWS. However, after 4pm or so â" things get slow.
That is when the home usage increases.
And he's using wireless.
He really needs to contact someone who knows more about networking in order to collect more useful data. Right now it is impossible to say what is really happening.
Is it really that much of a burden to provide access to updates?
It costs MORE to put a system in place to verify your contract status before allowing you to download something than it does to just have the download publicly available.
If this was about saving money they'd look into a torrent.
This is about trying to turn an expense into a profit.
And if no one buzzes in, he gets to pick another random block.
So his "strategy" depends upon BOTH the other players being afraid to risk answering questions? That makes even less sense. He'd have to be as good (or better) than both of them in order to get any points with that strategy.
In which case his "strategy" is meaningless because he'd be winning anyway.
Probably because too much of it rests on the final question where you get to bet any amount of your winnings.
So in order to go for the tie... a. you're in the lead - you bet $0 and hope that all other players with the chance of winning also play to tie.
b. you're behind - you hope that the person in the lead bets $0 because he is relying upon you to play to tie. And that the other player isn't in a position to bet enough to exceed both your scores by $1.
And that your opponents get the answers right or wrong as needed. Betting $X to tie the lead who bet $0 won't help if you get the answer wrong.
He still has to answer the questions correctly. So I'm not seeing the problem.
The first person who got the last question right gets to pick the next block. So even if he is selecting this block, he still has to get it right before the other players.
And the cable companies will keep trying to buy politicians so that they can get this passed.
Fuck them.
Instead, get a law passed that allows the government to install the pipes and allow the homeowners to choose between ISPs that have leased those pipes from the local government.
The hurdles are real. If you are not doing what society approves of for your gender/race/age/etc then you will face more problems than if you are conforming to society's expectations.
And you will have less support.
Just because the hurdles will be intangible does not make the imaginary. Even the best of the best need a social structure in order to feed themselves and promote their work.
I don't think the problem is Cisco's side supporting both the old and the new, but that when the old stuff transmits, it can only go at the slow speeds, and nothing else can go fast during that time.
Sort of. Let me see if I can put this into a better format.
5GHz standards 802.11a 802.11n 802.11ac 802.11ad
2.4GHz standards 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n
So the only overlap is 802.11n and the other 2.4GHz standards should not be bothering the newer standards on 5GHz. So just move all of the 2.4GHz stuff to a USB dongle. Then ship the device with 802.11a disabled by default.
That leaves you with an access point only handling 5GHz and defaulting to 802.11n. With config options to disable that and only support 802.11ac (and so forth when 802.11ad is formally sanctified).
Which should be sufficient for most home users. And any home users who aren't happy with that are probably also capable of configuring it so that they are happy.
But it does mean that fewer units will be sold because they will support the old stuff (if necessary) and still run the super fast speeds (if possible).
But splitting the standards between physical devices means more physical devices can be sold to get the coverage necessary in the frequencies support by the other devices.
With 5GHz you get more non-overlapping channels (12 vs 3) along with the benefit (if you live in an apartment building) of not having to worry about conflicting with other apartments because the signals are absorbed by the walls.
I'd say the easiest way for Cisco to do that is to put TWO different implementations in one box.
You can buy a USB dongle that does wireless. So why doesn't Cisco just put a USB port on their wireless access point and shunt the old stuff through that?
Then, in the future when everything is faster and better and whatever, you just pull the old dongle out and ignore the old stuff.
It's okay to call someone a child molester but not a fraud or a thief?
It's one of those weird legal things. He wasn't actually accusing him of molesting children. He was saying that he was AS BAD AS a person who molests children.
But I agree with you. It's all an attempt to conflate person A with person B's crime in the opinion of the public (people who have not researched this).
This wouldn't be an issue if they had, and it's almost certainly costing them a lot more in refunded transactions than a roll out would have.
Maybe, maybe not. Criminals usually take the easiest way into a system. So replacing one flawed system may be sufficient. Or there might be more flawed implementations at their data center.
I think the real issue here is how the companies seem to have no idea how to do computer security.
It depends upon what the ISP's upstream connection is. In Alaska there were problems because the pipes were only so big but demand was bigger.
But the larger question here is... is there competition? If someone doesn't like the service/pricing of The East Buchanan Telephone Cooperative can they get equivalent service from a different provider?
I, personally, like the idea of paying for what you use. Provided that there is competition. Otherwise the "average" will keep dropping as people try to limit their expenses and the price will keep creeping up.
And Doctrow is a better writer. Damn that was painful to wade through.
Anyway, back to the point, I don't care if Starbucks knows that I haven't shopped there for a month and decides to entice me back with a 50% off coupon for a latte. I choose if I want to purchase something from Starbucks.
I care if the government is collecting information on me because the government can put me in prison.
And when a site doesn't work correctly with javascript disabled?
Then YOU get to ask YOURSELF whether YOU want to take the risk of running THEIR scripts on YOUR system in order to read/watch THEIR content.
Individual preferences will, of course, vary. But I've found that the sites that run scripts usually don't have much content worth my time.
As for ads... if they weren't so abused in the first place (pop-ups, pop-unders, flashing, auto-run-sound, slowing-down-the-entire-page, redirect-on-close, etc) then there wouldn't be such a large movement to block them.
Ads today are not as much about selling a product as tracking where you go and what you click on. The products advertised bear no relationship to the site I've visited.
Up until the past 50 or so years, people who learned about Standard Deviation would do so in environments with far less stimulation and distraction.
They also did so in an environment where they had to do all the math by hand (or with a slide rule).
The math is not difficult. But it is repetetive in the extreme. So unless you were a savant you learned to pay very close attention to the numbers and what they represented. For those of you who didn't take statistics, here's a link to show you how standard deviation is calculated. With only 6 items: http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Standard-Deviation
Imagine doing that, by hand, with a hundred items. And that is just finding the standard deviation.
Now you can get the "answer" with nothing more than copy-paste. And if that "answer" doesn't suit you then you tweak the input and get another "answer" a second later.
The truth is he might have not felt qualified, but he was admitted to the CS program at MIT, one of the few elite CS departments that really means you are at least +1SD above average IQ, and quite likely +2SD or +3SD.
Possibly. But the point is that because he looked the part he was able to more effectively utilize his intelligence than someone who did not look the part.
If his appearence had been different then there would be obstacles to overcome that he did not have to face.
These are only a problem if they are built and used.
We cannot stop anyone from building them (in secret). But we can get updates added to the Geneva Conventions. And we can choose how we deal with anyone who uses these.
Although at the moment it looks like we (USA! USA!) will be the ones using them. So contact your Congress Critters and make sure they know that you'll support them if they vote to ban our usage of these.

And bringing it back to TFA, people (in general) are bad at using math to figure out which option is (least damaging / most advantageous) for them.
Probably because too much of it rests on the final question where you get to bet any amount of your winnings.

I think it is more of a puff piece written in an attempt to cash-in on a reference to the movie "her".
An AI program is NOT the same thing as a robot. And an expert system is not the same as an AI program.

If they are identical then their hashes should be identical.
So write a script that generates hashes for each of them and checks for duplicate hashes.
My simple process for this is that if the site does not have my credit card info or even my name then I don't care what the password is.
And I don't care if your site is cracked any my 12345 password is revealed. All they're going to get is the cat's name and a birthdate of 1900-01-01.

They mistake the tools-used-to-make-the-model for reality. Whether intentionally or not.
Heroes fix problems that everyone can see.
Ninjas fix things before anyone can see a problem.
I prefer the ninja approach myself (as you seem to) but it does require either an informed manager or a lot of PR work on your part.
And since we know that informed managers are few and far between ... looks like you'll have to be your own PR agency.
