While bringing the rambunctious Mr. T into this it seems a bit off topic, mentioning Elizabeth Warren here is completely on topic.
She has suggested that some of our major internet behemoths should be broken into their component parts and the parts that are the underlying infrastructure become regulated utilities or similar constructs.
This is an interesting idea with arguments pro and con. One of these arguments is if you force the profit making parts of this (like the data selling) to be severed from the "tubes and wires" then perhaps there isn't as much incentive to keep innovating on the latter. The converse is what we see now which is this unassilable giant got there by disregard for norms and perhaps laws and made us all the poorer. They certainly need oversight of some type as this keeps getting more absurd each thing we find out.
The idea breaking up face book would be harmful is probably a rubbish argument that only would matter at first: the argument that the separation would also bring more medium size players into the game enhancing innovation is much stronger. But FOr that to happen one would have to make sure another giant like Amazon or google didn't just rush in an gobble up the void instead. So her argument, to work has to be extended beyonf face book.
The counter argument is that overtime we have seem the hegemonies of IBM, Microsoft, and perhaps soon Intel, wane naturally as disruptive tech outmoded their monopoly grip. So perhaps this is unnecessary.
Her argument has merit and shoul dnot be ridiculed but discussed rationally. It may not be needed but my gut feeling is that google has gone evil on us and competing with facebook led them there. I also like APlle as my benevolent aspriational computer maker, but I don't think I will like what apple becomes when they turn into my Banker. And Amazon.... every day I hear of amazon using it's monopoly to extend into a new line of bussiness I think about Milo Minderbinder from catch 22. Soon we will own a share of amazon if we don't stop the blob from growing.
If the CPU isn't the bottleneck in a web app then you are paying way too much for your cloud CPU instance. You shoul dhave bought a cheaper instance to make it the bottleneck
Numerical Recipes in $LANGUAGE states it is written for scientist not coders because the difference is that scientists work on the next generation of problems on the last generation of computers (and hence need efficiency), while coders solve the last generation of problems on the next generation of computers (and thus make the code more elegant but less efficient).
A prime number is divisible only by itself and 1 1 is prime (by this definition) 3 is prime 5 is prime 7 is prime 11 is prime 13 is prime 9 is experimental error.
The proposition that "all odd numbers are prime" has a P value above 0.05.
When I have a project large enough to support a tech support then I buy linux machines cause they can be cheaper than macs.
But when I have to do my own or I'm using the interface I buy macs. Trying to keep a linux boxed patched and all the ports closed takes expertise to be confident it was done right. Getting hacked one time on a linux box for me was so expensive it killed a multi-year project. The premium to get a powerful mac is pretty cheap compared to an employee recruitment, retention, and total compensation
Maybe linux has a few ACL shortcuts too? Apple made the same mistake with their dynamic log files which had the root execution privs even when run as user.
An example of permission bits in computer science vending machine food is the tootsie roll. The operating system specifies that the user may not access the tootsie roll center in less than ten licks but there's nothing that stops a rogue driver from biting it after three licks.
A softer, usually edible part of a nut, seed, or fruit stone contained within its hard shell.
In computer science this refers to the inner composition of edibles found in vending machines, such as the filling in a twinkie. For example, in an M&M peanut candy the peanut is the Kernel, and the candy coating it the usermode. Kernel's are not always nuts, in computer science, For example, In raisenets the raisin is the kernel and imiatation choclate coating is the userland.
Ironically silk road had a solution for this problem. Just create an etherium payable contract that pays when the ransom where evil doer is killed, as measure by whatever method the contract specified as satisfactory proof the right person received the right result.
Of course this is also a terrible idea. Paying mercs to kill people is going to result in incompetent mercs and dead innocents. Not to mention the whole idea of murder.
Still given human nature if this option were offerend anonymously but widely available I'm also sure the go fund me kitty would swell.
THe only thing one can say is that in the end you'd be both remorseful and gratified and possibly incarcerated
the carrier that transferred the call to my carrier gets billed. THey bill whoever gave it to them, and so on. If you reach a point where it can't be tracked the carrier that can't track the incoming origin is where the net cost lands.
See how long they put up with not being able to trace their inputs!
it should cost 5 cents for every call placed. The money would go to the carrier of the person receiving the call and taken from the carrier of the person making the call. It would be up to each carrier to decide how to bill or refund the money to keep this simple.
I can easily afford 5 cents a call (note not 5 cents a minute). And Likely they would reimburse me an other casual callers, just not industrial scale ones.
This way no one has to actively do anything, like report a call. It just snuffs out the tragedy of the commons with a trivial fee.
Marshal Brain wrote a short sci fi story out lining the two path society can do as automation reduces the amount of labor required for daily sustenance. It's not the world's best writing but it's succinct and insightful
well the stuff you chuck was time, the the works produced in the 2 weeks where you got the right outcome is what goes in the thesis. If only you could just start right there and do just those 2 weeks and not all the other times it didn't work for 5 years.
It's a really really old saying. So yes luck bestows merit but the important part isn't that. True Merit is needed to take advantage of Luck. Nearly every experimental graduate student will tell you it takes 2 weeks of work to get a PhD but it takes 5 years to find be prepared to recognize the 2 weeks.
It's also slightly like the repairman called in to repair the machine after the comapny techs have exhausted themselves with no success. He just taps it with a hammer on the side, it works, and he sends a $1000 bill. When they company thinks the hourly rate for just a single tap can't justify the bill they denad he itemize it. So he sends the new bill. $1 tapping in side, $999 knowing where to tap.

It must be odd if it's prime.
Numerical Recipes in $LANGUAGE states it is written for scientist not coders because the difference is that scientists work on the next generation of problems on the last generation of computers (and hence need efficiency), while coders solve the last generation of problems on the next generation of computers (and thus make the code more elegant but less efficient).
A prime number is divisible only by itself and 1
1 is prime (by this definition)
3 is prime
5 is prime
7 is prime
11 is prime
13 is prime
9 is experimental error.
The proposition that "all odd numbers are prime" has a P value above 0.05.
100% of all published incorrect results have a P value above 0.05
Then I took a course on statistics, and the stats professor told me that 47.37% of all statisticians make up their own statistics.
THere are other ways to solve this. THings like Goode provide their own app environment.

My bad. Right you are. Especially the rootbeer flavored candy shells. Mmmmmm
Came here to say the same thing. Why would anyone store passwords???? Isn't that just too well known that you store hashes?
Is there some common CMS that does it that way or something?

the VOIP call has to enter a portal somewhere. That's the point where the charge is accessed. No payment no portal entry for Voip.
the carrier that transferred the call to my carrier gets billed. THey bill whoever gave it to them, and so on.

tonnes of people will learn about the 5 regular polyhedra. A few will wonder why there aren't more. And a few of those will be motived to learn why.
