He took a blood test and by measuring C reactive protein (CRP) you can see wether it's a common cold or some more powerfull virus infection, I think 50 miligram/liter is an indication of influenza. The wikipedia page isn't very good for understanding the specific interaction of CRP and influenza, but I'm sure you can find it yourself.
According to the Spanish general traffic department (DGT), excessive speed was a factor in 37% of all fatalities in traffic accidents between 1999 and 2003. Roughly 20.000 deaths every year only in Spain.
We have a tenth of that here, so according to your numbers in Spain 440 deaths per million, in Sweden on a bad year it's 44 deaths per million.. It can't be that much of a difference can it?
You are right with $1000 you can do a lot, especially if you concentrate on one thing. But I wish there more extreme RC builders out there, people are very stuck in their old ways. IMHO.
Because Linux certainly won't be a distribution or border router at an ISP.
The typical ISP distribution router doesn't even have sufficient resources or capabilities to perform NAT, let-alone port diversion and response rewriting.
Except Linux handles at least two 10Gbps proxies that I know of, and the product is being sold to various cellphone companies. But of course they might not use iptables, but they do rewrite all http requests.
that is awesome because my book will show i read it 432 times, on the first day of class even!
And just before grading it will say that you haven't read a single page, just skipped over them all, I'll be sure to leave some people in the class with more read pages so it doesn't seems to suspicious.
Most of what you say is untrue and misguided, condoms, gas tax, rice giving, sewage and electricity. Since you only stated things out of the blue I'll do the same. Just stating lots of half-true factoids do no prove my nor your point, but I think it show that the discussion is a tad bit more complicated than a binary outcome.
You see while a 25% sales tax doesn't hurt me much, if you only have €100 left to spend every month, then the sales tax matters a lot. Also a when you have a good job a lot of your consumption is probably exempt from sales tax as some kind of bonus in the company where you work, and the guys slaving on for ~$10 per hour, but only when there are jobs.
One of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence was that the British government was "transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences".
That's a joke considering the current actions of USA in world politics. But it seems to be very reasonable statement, but if you do that to people who are not your citizens then you will soon see it done to you. First they came... and all that..
I was thinking the same, sending the "unmarked" package with some other kind of tape on would have been a nice comparison. But taped packages arrived fine in Europe, maybe we are just more used to red tape over here.
Does Linux really take 20 seconds to boot on a VM?
No sorry, it's 10 seconds to create and start a vanilla Ubuntu server install instance, of course that's when most of the disk is in cache. That 20 second was a couple of years ago, I should have run the tests again.
But that sort of thing fits well with TFA, where they say "look ma, no OS!" when they do have software acting like that
There are reasons why "no OS" is interesting, it does take a while for Linux to boot, I usually boot it in 20s on my virtual servers, making that 3s would actually allow me to save money. If they really were booting Linux, could process CPU intensive request by just buying an instance booting my OS and serving the request in 10s instead of 27s. But as someone said this can be compared with the not so novel approach called "applications".
So if you can boot Linux in 2 seconds, I'll agree that the annoucment is pompous.
[..] She knew the Internet kids would strike back with real sexism and real attacks - validating the "hatred against women" she wants to perpetuate.
You can read about that in the blog post I linked.
Basically what she posted was one of those "prominent person makes bad joke", which seems to be very news worthy, if I'm going to judge from what you see in the papers. What happened, i.e. being fired doesn't seem like a clear consequence.
I'm pretty sure this would have played out differently if a man had posted that picture (that's an opinion btw), but hopefully you have ample examples of men receiving death threats. I can just say in my experience the women who write on the net get more rape/death threats, than men.
But you are right a male would probably have received death threats, that's something we can agree on.
Most people you meet at confs are wonderful people, it's just that their creepy side can be very obvious around women. That said the Ada Initiative and PyLadies were at the conference and had a great time, so yes there aparently were lots of nice people there. Are all of them nice, hopefully, did someone behave creepy, and make stupid jokes about rape, most probably.
Nice play. For once it didn't work out quite as she expected
Actually I think she knew exactly what would happen, the same thing as always, people rape threatning her and calling her all kind of things. Amanda Blum's excelent blog post highlights the problem with Adrias behaviour but hopefully give you some insight to the larger problem.
If this has thought us something it is that there are some serious problem with sexism at tech conferences, even if you don't like what she did the backlash kind of proved her point IMHO.
If you are at a conference as a representive of a sponsor you better behave and be as PC as you can, if that wasn't the case I'm guessing he wouldn't have been fired. He wasn't fired because she shamed him he was fired because he misrepresented the company. You could say the same thing about SendGrid where she worked.
I'm not sure she wanted attention, I think she just had the need to say something about what she thought was important.

Bitcoin has no privacy, or complete transparency, depending on your viewpoint.
You do not need a car, you just think you do. Just make a choice and change you life just a little bit.
You are right with $1000 you can do a lot, especially if you concentrate on one thing. But I wish there more extreme RC builders out there, people are very stuck in their old ways. IMHO.
Luleå is the main port for Swedish steel, and there is quite a lot of it. So the powerusage of that data center is puny in comparision.
Ah but you just have to post as yourself to undo it. :-) The slash-fu is weak.

They say the lowest possible sum is $8 trillion, but probably $32 trillion.
You give them far too much credit.

And by create I mean setup stuff with libvirt assign disks etc, not isntalling Ubuntu.. :-)
