Also, if you're having regular conference calls, make sure it works smoothly. If you spend the first fifteen minutes every time trying to get everyone connected, people will hate you for it.
The really annoying thing is that they completely ignored it for three days because the DLC system is so bug-ridden that they couldn't tell the difference between the normal level of complaints and the entire system having fallen over.
The problem with communism is that it doesn't scale. A communist economy of any significant size will always go down the tubes, and the people will revert to a market economy or simply leave unless prevented by threat of violence.
Yes, we'd notice. If the EM field from a cell phone (which is pretty weak) had any significant effect on brain function, then the much more powerful fields from radar, MRI and such would cause full-blown seizures.
They don't - they don't do much of anything - so that addendum to the post is completely wrong. And for the same reason, the research is very likely wrong too.
The reason for the concern over H1N1 was the 1918 flu pandemic which was also an H1N1 strain and killed 5% of the world's population. The whole point of having organisations like the CDC is to prevent a repeat of that.
As for that narcolepsy link: If it's on the Huffington Post, it's automatically wrong. They are setting themselves up as the internet epicentre of pseudoscientific crap.
The main reason was that Cassandra prior to 0.7 didn't support secondary indexes. Your keys in a table ("columnfamily" in Cassandra-speak) were indexed, and the names of the columns in a row were indexed. And Cassandra is schemaless, so the columns in one row could be completely different to the columns in another.
So you'd use columns as sub-records to get the data structures you need.
With 0.7 and secondary indexes, that's going to be less important.
We've had several Intel SSDs fail - all 64GB X25-E drives. And when they failed, they failed dead. After the first time we learned that you still need to put them in RAID no matter what the spec sheet says. And that first sever was replicated; we're not silly enough to run with no redundancy.
Curiously, none of the X25-M drives we're using has failed so far. Possibly because we only use those in lower-volume applications.
We run all our databases on SSD. Just like disk drives, and unlike your claim, sometimes they simply drop dead without warning, even the high-end ones.
The performance gains are entirely worth it, though.
It's a non-problem. With Intel's 64GB X25-E drive, for example, you can do non-stop random writes for 6 years before you run into problems. We run all our databases on SSDs, mostly Intel and FusionIO ioDrives.
That said, we've had drives simply drop dead with a controller failure. You still have to run a RAID array, even with SSDs.
What's with the fixation on spending cuts? How about we leave government the way it is, and make up for the budget shortfalls by raising taxes on the rich?
Because (a) the rich already pay more tax, (b) if you hike up the tax rate too much they simply leave, and (c) redistribution causes economic contraction.
On the other hand, if you want to collapse the economy completely, go right ahead.
When I walk around on the street and scream something to somebody walking on the other side, everybody around can listen in and -- should they wish to do so -- distribute it further.
Or, should you continue in this behaviour, have you safely locked away.
Because there is such a thing as a trust network, and you're not part of it.

Sure, algebra is useless - unless your job involves numbers at some point, and how likely is that?

It's measured in the ability to RTFM, which Chinese scientists seems to excel at:
"The figures are based on the papers published in recognised international journals listed by the Scopus service of the publishers Elsevier."
Given some of the crap that Elsevier publishes, I'd wait for independent confirmation.
Albatross shmalbatross. I'm using MariaDB for a 6TB production system and it works flawlessly.

It has two 10Gbps bi-directional channels per port.
It has two 10Gbps bi-directional channels per port, so its bandwidth is equivalent to 4 lanes of PCIe 2.0 or 8 lanes of PCIe 1.0.
I don't know if it's practical to aggregate the two channels on one external device though. There's not a lot of detail available yet.
Then all the companies that provided them went bankrupt. How did that happen?
No.

Well, now that it's been reported on the Huffington Post, the original research is retroactively flawed.
The reason for the concern over H1N1 was the 1918 flu pandemic which was also an H1N1 strain and killed 5% of the world's population. The whole point of having organisations like the CDC is to prevent a repeat of that.

> The explanation, as you may have guessed, is super complicated.
Really? The explanation I guessed is pretty simple: "We spilled some bacteria in tube 2."
Bacteria are everywhere. No need to even spill anything.
Try it again with cow DNA, Mister Nobel Scientist guy. You'd probably notice if there were spare cows wandering about the lab.
YOUR VOTE MATTERS, IT REALLY DOES
True, but only because I'm secretly a Supreme Court Justice.
Um, don't tell anyone, 'kay?
You might even say that it's definitive.
Me! I have a 100% accurate set of polling data right here. Just give me a few more hours to tabulate the results, and I'll be right with you!

There's this fellow Jefferson at the door. Says he'd like to have a word with you.
Anyone awake and also on planet Zebulon, sure.
