I think the meaning was if you spread your data across 3 nodes, but you need 3/3 nodes to access the data then the chance of losing all your data is times three.
If you used a parity system like RAID 5 across 3 nodes, then you could lose 1 node but still access your data. Losing 2 or more nodes means all data is lost, but also means the party performing the seizure needs 2/3 servers to recover the data.
Not saying it's easy to create new human-computer interfaces, but has anyone here read the novel Ready Player One? (Or equivalent sci fi - Stephenson, Gibson, etc, even lawn mower man).
We need precise 3D haptic interfaces controlled with our hands. Combine with physical or virtual keyboards for complete control of everything.
I agree with the general sentiment of this thread - stop whining and create something!
Except the last 3 LG phones all have removable battery, SD card, and headphone jack: G3, G4, G5
Though apparently they have a "bootloop" problem even after battery remove/replace. Never happened to me on the 4 or 5, but I also don't update beyond the factory firmware (I need root).
A few of us have 3 displays at the office - mine are all portrait, while co-workers have varying configurations, such as "tie-figher" or sideways "T" or whatever else. No one is using the "+" though with portrait in the middle.
Have you ever listened to the daily _independent_ news radio program Democracy Now? Stream it a few times if you don't live near a local station that broadcasts it. I listen on a local (community-supported, not wide-scale public) radio station. The team does a great job with multiple interviews (not just a few talking heads) from out in the field - where stuff is happening, but also with a range of award-winning journalists from all over the planet.
It's easy to criticize the reporting of details, but this is an intense story that has not received enough attention on main stream media.

The gateways do let residents establish private connections between their homes using an empty port. "We create a virtual connection that acts like a network cable," Patterson said. Two users of the network could thus transfer files at gigabit speed, or residents of a few houses could set up a private gaming network.
This crazy one-liner can be used on many flavors of linux that do not have wget, netcat, curl, etc. Obviously those would be preferred, but if the server is locked down and all you have is bash, it's great to check if a certain webserver hosts a particular website, or to discover your external IP.
I forget why I needed to redirect to descriptor zero for the read line... I'd have to look that up again.
I don't have real data, but anecdotally this "feels" accurate to me. (Very long-time/. reader so I've seen the ups and downs.)
I would say total story comment counts were quite low from autumn 2015 through winter 2016 but have risen this spring.
Easy to compare "today" (meaning each day) to prior years using the old side-bar widget that showed past high-comment stories on the same day. Recent years are dramatically lower than past years, but the trend appears to be going back up.
Perhaps some researchers could get a dump of stories with comment counts, then chart them? (It should be possible to scrape if someone had the time.) Easy to see seasonality like northern hemisphere summer vacations for students.
I had the same initial thought of summing purchases through a shopping day in a single vehicle. But maybe you load your purchases from each store into a box (perhaps standard sized reusable boxes instead of bags), and a self driving car drops it off at your residence or secure pickup area. With drone delivery around the corner (or at slowest SDC + robot delivery), will we be carrying lots of stuff around?
Brick and mortar stores may last for a long time, especially if they can compete with delivery like Amazon; the delivery of goods may well change with self driving vehicles.
Not sure why the private taxi companies haven't banded together and put out a proper dispatch app to make at least a token effort at improving the experience.
Sounds like a short-term business opportunity!
Though perhaps it could leverage you into a larger opportunity where you can hail driver/driveless cars from many companies, not just Uber or the growing Lyft conglomerate.
Exactly. If you can order online, you should be able to cancel online. Sad to see legislation requires this instead of friendly businesses that value their service.
Though it does bring up security concerns - hopefully information like the existing credit card details are required to cancel and not just a guessable account number.
Agreed, I don't know why +noatime (and similar less-disk-touching file system options) are not the default. If you really want to track file-read timestamps, then enable it.
Exactly! Our microbiomes are the new frontier of health for all sorts of things, obesity being number one for the general western population.
It's only a matter of time, and IP law, that engineered bacteria will be sold as designer probiotics to counter all sorts of maladies. Could we easily create a grassroots organization to distribute colon flora? Sure! But the fat, sterile westerners will say "Ew, gross!", but happily pay for Monsanto Microbiome Enhancement Plus for a premium. (it's a fictional drug to counter the bacterial imbalance created by eating processed, industrialized food.)
Just as the finding of lead in our environment is bad for humans, perhaps so will antibiotics from medicines to soaps, along with polymers such as BPA (commonly found in most thermal paper receipts that people handle on a daily basis), be found to cause harm to our microbiome.
If you count cells in the human body, there are more bacterial cells than human cells; of course the human cells are much larger, but human individuals are complex organisms living with lots of other living "things".
That is an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. It shows how subjective any sociology study is, and how difficult it is to control for all sorts of variables.
But women do more housework than men and they probably do more shopping than men so it seems smart marketing to appeal to a larger demographic than simply basing the cleaning product on touted merits alone.
The parent may have made an emotional decision in almost not trying the product, or will not buy the product again, but how many women have done the opposite, and decided to purchase the product because they knew the company was owned by women?

I've always wanted to try that game, just to see...
Fighter pilots already use amphetamines, and many other chemical cognitive enhancers are in use.
Like in sci-fi, the drugs are electro + chemical, for whatever your goal: performance, high, control, apathy, etc.
Agreed that I wouldn't "test" this on the elite, but if it's gone this far in trials, you know it's been tested on the non-best already.
But the chance of losing your data is triple.
[because] each one gets only a 3rd of each file

Especially if you wear it on your wrist.
Portrait mode is the best!
A few of us have 3 displays at the office - mine are all portrait, while co-workers have varying configurations, such as "tie-figher" or sideways "T" or whatever else. No one is using the "+" though with portrait in the middle.
Yes, now that was a smart umbrella.
This sounds like a high school project.
Clearly there is a reason it was made by "former" engineers.

Too much mainstream coverage is given to the 2016 presidential election than many other current events of consequence.

Everyone wins!
On Firefox I use "Tree Style Tab" and "Ctrl-Tab" add-ons.
I don't know how people live without tabs on the side (right or left) and ctrl-tab to quickly switch between most recent tabs.
Yep!

How do you write a shell one-liner in Xonsh if you need to use whitespace instead of curly braces and semicolons?
