Over budget means the estimate was wrong, it does not point to any design or technical failure by itself.
First day load is going to be most of the user base, and at least one reporter from every news org, and the bad guys trying to hack it, and the curious public. If they built for first day load it would be overspending. Had they budgeted for 10x the servers, it sounds like you would have been okay with that a year from now when they are idle?
And it has to load data from IRS, HHS, and other places that were not designed for this load.
Succeed day one and you find yourself atop the wasteful spending list next year. The only real problem I see is outdated info for determining eligibility, which is in systems external, and hardly something we can blame here.
How many of those were 304 not modified? And how large were they? I don't know but no one else seems to except one guy who does web design, and apparently knows little to none about servers.
All of that happens client side, making his DOS comment ridiculous. He did not say that caching was disabled, and did not give a byte count. I'm discounting the whole report until I have time to look myself.
The costs you mention are not a significant percentage of what goes in ti most books. I won't do your homework for you while mobile, but details and citations have been posted on this very website.
Above negligible, but lower than people assume, because you forget other costs.
I missed the "recommend to a kid" part of the question. I wondered why my turbo Pascal ran faster than my gwbasic, and my brother told me about compile and link. They never worked on my computer, but I understood the concept of compile vs interpret without having names for them.
I think a kid would find this informative, and may shape their decision to be interested in lo vs high level code. As such, it should be introduced early, even just as a dangler they can ignore.
I used debug to bring adventure characters back to life, so itwas directly useful to me.
Early java was plagued by string append instead of string builders, and other travesties, making it slower than it needed to be.
Learning what happens under the hood can be a great way to wonder, why is this slower than that asm code I wrote a decade ago?
Forget the complexities of a microcontroller, and focus just on "how the bits get fiddled".
I have seen booleans persisted as pipe and zero, with no explanation, when non nullable bits would suffice, requiring conversion. The daily Wtf is full of inelegant solutions similarly over complicated.
At least concede that comparing the bytecode output of a bad c# or java app with a functionally equivalent good design would grant insight. It can be generalised from there how much further down the stack to go.
Yes. Roaches have survived billions of years, and would survive the nuclear zombie apocalypse. They have enough survival abilities.
Do you know what happens in nature? Every nasty bit of stuff eats these things, live without anesthetizing them. Sometimes they go down live and just get digested. Nature is cruel. And it hates you, and me, and roaches.
Should we be doing this in schools? That's the question here.
Oh, he's a math dude? Let's talk mathematics. The problem is in the form:
- Incarcerate the maximum number of guilty people - While incarcerating as close to zero innocent people as possible
This is not a maximization of the form:
- What is best for all of society
When you look at it like that, all of the questions posed are moot. The fundamental misunderstanding is in apparently disregarding history, which is key to understanding how we got to where we are. Blackstone's ratio, attributed variously to different people, is the fundamental reason for pretty much the declaration of independence and many parts of the constitution.
Understand the history, and it becomes a word problem with a simple solution. I wouldn't expect a math dude to get this, which apparently explains all the hate.
Your entire post says "I know nothing about K-12 education". You won't be getting speed readers out of this, because speed reading is a different technique from being able to recgognize words. We know why most people have a hard time reading, outside of learning disabilities, and this data is invaluable for those students.
Take a moment and reflect on how blessed you are to not live, work, or play with any below average people. Or how insulated you have been all your life.
I can't type 20 years of experience into this box, but you could volunteer time as a teacher's aide in remedial reading classes and get a taste of what you are missing in 15 minutes.
Students may be more inclined to participate when those around them do so. Having data based on at least more than one teacher's subjective opinion is a lot better, and likely to prevent exactly the scenario you describe.
Mrs. G. would only be a part of your character input, and her contribution would decrease over time.
There are important things to object to here, but you chose one that teachers and parents everywhere will support due to extrapolation based on anecdote. In fact, none of the examples in the summary give me pause directly. Knowing what will happen to the data based on every data collection activity ever, does.
Oh, good. Another all or nothing, black and white argument. I love those.
Is there no one who could cut back on consumption and stockpile a month of savings? No one who is at the minimum and could not cut back? It has to be one or the other, or you both sound like window licking fools, so which is it?
In what way is this related in any way to corruption? The IOC did not go forward in time, read this news, and then go back and approve Russia. I have no doubt that payoffs happen, and as demonstrated by the China games' focus on minimizing pollution to be just under the obviousness threshold, the facade has to be maintained even when the problem is well known. But how is this one of those "face it" times that demonstrates whatever point you failed to make?
On the international stage, if we limit the selection committee to only those places where there is no corruption or oppression, there would be no Olympics - because every country is seen as corrupt in some fashion to at least a few other countries. So everyone is off the list.
Not sure what your point is re: keeping athletes in segregated housing. Almost like only athletes could be suspect, and anyone who wants to talk to them would go to athlete housing, and they can't leave at all, which is clearly not true.
If you take this at face value "will face some of the most invasive and systematic spying and surveillance in the history of the Games" as well as the "all communications" part of the article's headline, your comment about the Russian vs. Chinese resources falls apart.
The big mistake hipsters make is assuming anyone cares about how hipster they are. We were talking about encryption, virtual currencies, legal tactics, and as usual where people gather, the occasional pop culture reference.
I just read "I haven't been paying attention, and or don't understand, but I'm going to type anyway". We have been talking about it for months now, and we can draw a box around what is feasible.
They don't need the money, they just need to take it out of his ability to use. And the transaction history would be more valuable than the dollars. So there is little point trying, except as an academic exercise to explore plausibility.
If they could break it, we wouldn't have this story. Just the normal conspiracy types saying they can, and no denials. It is marginally possible that things have changed recently, but it makes no sense to assume so.
Unless you store sensitive data, in which case you always assume so.
Riding the popular trend, because it is also convenient to ignorant users. First adopters will ride the wave, ad secondary users will get bitten by fraud because there is no "that wasn't the cardholder" defense without shitting on decades of fingerprint testimony.
And there's your final answer. Chargebacks, meaning accounting was involved.
they are (under Presidential direction!) doing ANYTHING THEY CAN to spite the American people
Source?
I'm old and probably won't need to worry about surviving the civil war that is coming.
Oh, nevermind. You really should take a break from your normal programming from time to time. I would have simply discounted you, but I've seen several posts mentioning the intentional painfulness with no corroboration outside the usual complete nutters.
Defaulting or breaking the debt ceiling would both be impeachable offenses
You are either the third most dedicated troll I have seen, or incredibly biased towards preconceived notions to the point that I would suggest considering if you have ever been brainwashed. Seriously. And I will be looking for a source, preferably from a place that doesn't mention Alex Jones, lizard people, the Illuminati, or Skull and Bones.
They would strike, then strike again 12 hours later, then spend the rest of the millennium bickering about arcana while one idiot bastard alien kept sending messages saying "Hi I'm from earf, you missed one," and "Commander Xeebo is a diddlepeen who eats natalie portman for frosty piss."
Oh sorry, that's what would happen if slashdot attacked aliens.
You, and the 4 idiots who up-modded you, are precisely the poster children for why "a little knowledge" is a dangerous thing. You have taken your well-earned disillusionment of the business world, and applied it in a completely unrelated scenario. The level of cynicism, ignorance, arrogance, single-mindedness, and stubbornness on display here are both saddening and sobering.
At one point, it was the hope that people would learn things, and be able to transfer the knowledge to other scenarios. In reality, however, humans are amazingly consistent in their ability to learn through context, and refuse nearly all other forms of input. We hear the phrase "beg the question" or "intensive purposes", and what we understand becomes both the spelling and definition, regardless of truth. Resilient to correction, and defiant enough to persist the knowledge even when proven wrong, the misinformation continues unabated.
Here's a cluebat. Not all business is the same. Not all anything is the same. Any time you generalize, you have to take a moment and ask yourself if maybe there is an exception that makes your information or assumption incorrect. Maybe you weren't aware of where Lockheed gets its money, but that should be one of those things you can read in the GODDAMNED SUMMARY and consider if it is at all relevant.
As someone with 10+ years of business to business experience in the Fortune 100 world, I can assure you that if there is a paying contract involved, these employees make money for the company every hour they are working, and if possible any company would rather have employees paid by external (contract) money rather than laid off. Government work is a special sort of "b2b" but I can't imagine it working substantially differently.
Did you know that the US government fiscal year is October 1 to September 30? Any year-long contract most likely ended September 30, and there was no one to renew the contract when the government "shut down" (new expenses disallowed). No wonder these companies are laying off people - they don't have work because the contracts ended and weren't renewed. Not all of them expired, and some were "essential" and got renewed, but enough fell through that the companies are affected. That's fucking sensical, and all it took was a little knowledge of what a fiscal year was, and curiosity about when the government's end was, and living through this a few times, and of course Wikipedia.
It is a very small step to enlightenment from where you are, but the chasm between is deep. Step forward with your eyes open and your mind as well. Or, if you want to continue being an ignorant closed minded ass clown, just do everyone a favor and jump straight into the abyss and beat yourself to death with the aforementioned cluebat on the way down, for the good of people everywhere.
Given how it was set up initially, and the changes since, what specifically was rigged?
No doubt a two party system with single votes will create gridlock. Automatic approval for the major parties happens at the state level election laws. Did every state conspire to the same system?
Or was it just unintended consequences of rubber stamping the parties that consistently get well over the minimum for ballot inclusion?
Nice job derailing the discussion. The goal here is not about cutting defense, or saving money by shutting down parts of the government.
It is about holding spending authorization hostage to accomplish repealing the aca. Not by vote, which failed 41 times. But by disallowing expenditures.
After the law was passed, and failed to be repealed 41 times, the republicans trying to score a political victory is assured, because their base is people who believe this is the best path even though it hurts them. Because they think they are in the 1% who are largely unaffected.
They just want to spend money on defense instead of health care, simple as that. Look at the votes and see.

Pedant. We are obviously not talking about your overly broad definition. Context is important, and you ignored it.
If moderation worked without JavaScript you would have a -1 off topic. But I am willing to type rather than enable it
I heard you say "poorly implemented targeting helps no one, but done right everyone benefits."

Bzzt. While that seems intuitive, it is too simple.
Looking at which places charge, it is usually the ones frequented by business travel. Near a corporate office, convention center, or similar.
Exceptions exist, but in my travel that has been 100% true.
