Can't change the truth? Whose truth, yours? Mine? Fox News fair and balanced truth? If the truth of history has always been written by the winners, one thing you can be certain of: it's not the whole truth.
Initially yes, but not only did he NOT stop the policies when he got in office, but when they came up for renewal, and all he had to do was NOT sign, and they wouldn't pass, he took the affirmative step of signing for a continuation of the Bush-regime.
The team was put with him after he came up with his initial findings and publications. He did the work that got him "his team" pretty much on his own, though certainly not without inspiration of those who came before.
It's almost always the case the genius builds on that which came before -- its only the concurrent work that tends to dumb down the output. The team they are talking about is one where one is a equal member of the team. The teams formed around genius's usually are more in a support role.
They are different though I would not argue that for high productivity a support team is useful... but for "out there" insight -- solitude where you can get away from group think and think of things *outside the box* is vital. If you are with a group -- you will get group think. It's only by virtue of these geniuses "alone-ness" and not being programmed by the masses into conventional-thinking, that they were able to come up with that which was beyond conventional.
I agree with the above **AND**, it's the increase in crowding (a result of "over population/unit area")....
Drawing from verbiage of a another article on team work being better than individual work.. -- having geniuses or loners being forced to learn to work in a team (crowd), and is a recipe for disaster.
There are *different* types of people that thrive in diverse environments. The closer you crowd them, the less they will thrive and the more conflict that will happen.
If they are unhappy due to economic problems it is all the worse.
It depends on the *environment*. In a certain environment, individual prowess beats out team effort. Try having a baby in 1 month w/a team.
Parallel/group processes can get more done overall, but they cannot achieve the same heights or Einstein like brilliance that can drive game-changing results.
He makes a valid point, but misses the direction and point of the 8 cores (though it's up to 10-12 now, or 100 in a non-x86 compat 1Ghz Intel proc).
Intel hit the wall on processor development when it came to *speed* (lets call that *height*) - the pinnacle of that was in the Pentium IV days when things were in the 4GHz range and trying to climb. Unfortunately, with the materials and processes available to Intel at the time (and still, today, though occasional research rumor indicate possibilities for that to change), too much heat was generated in 1 small place to make further increases practical w/o more elaborate kinds of cooling that would become more expensive and take more space.
So Intel went *Wider*.... it was a way of maintaining profit margin on high end -- they could sell to providers and position processors to "Cloud providers", thus enabling the old-regime of large-central computing resources to reawaken -- the days of the personal computer look shaky at best.
Combined with relative cost to people, and their absolute cost, people will *likely*, less be able to afford PC(Personal Computers) -- portables/handheld that let you tap into a cloud are the growing market, where you also, have no privacy -- as the US government points out --
As soon as your data is moved to a cloud, you lose all constitutional protections under their current claims to power (the people need to get pissed enough to take that back through whatever mean (with box being a first choice on that list [ballot])).
Meanwhile Intel can keep up their profits (for a little while -- a retreat to the high end has always been the start of the end for a corporation) as they go to fatter, 'wider' processors that will have to be positioned to providers -- as they will be the only ones that can make full use of them (as scores-thousands of users login to their own 'virtual machine' in the cloud)....
Want commercial grade connection? pay for it. And that has been the case for ages, here (not america) isp:s disallowed servers on home connections while we most were still on dial-up due to (or at least, that was what they *said*) adsl owners unwittingly serving spam. And I've been told Comcast et al. do exactly the same thing.
Not exactly. Comcast has bandwidth limits that apply to upload and download amounts on consumer accounts. It's Net-Neutral in that regard.
Google is providing faster upload speeds than most other offerings, but is telling consumers HOW they are allowed to use it. That isn't neutral.
Judging quantity is a neutral measure (though it might not be popular). Judging the content of what travels over the lines is not neutral.
And who led the country to financial ruin via a debt-financed spending spree? Reagan and the 2nd Bush (not that bush-1 was completely guiltless, but he did restore some taxes cut by Reagan in order to fund the government's spending.
Amount of top tax bracket cut from Nixon to now: ~60%.
Seriously? Gee, I don't know... maybe it's because those private parties can't ruin your fucking life like a government can?
You miss the point, (though I agree wholeheartedly with yours) -- he is saying that once you have shared your information with facebook -- it's also open to the government anytime they want it -- without a court order.
By sharing with a third party -- by putting anything on the cloud or a website, or an ISP, you've voided your constitutional protections against seizure. I think that is the point he is making. The third parties, legally, are an extension of the government.
Until some fundamental laws change and allow 2 parties to create an agreement that can't be broken by government whim, we are screwed. BTW -- if the "third party" keeps something a secret from the government -- it's called "conspiracy". So there is a serious crime backing up other people (including your doctor, your psych, anyone but your spouse) being forced to rat on you.
Except that your "criminals" are doing a free public service out of love for the media, and you victims are wealthy beyond anyone's belief, and own the 'police' that they use to raid the 'criminals'...
It hasn't happened yet, but even US law makers (notoriously stupid), have begun to recognize that penalties against those doing financial profit crimes (various forms of piracy, especially those related to 'intellectual property', (where the property is really, all in your head -- aka imaginary property), are we overblown and not especially effective against those who are not doing the, "so-called", crime for profit and have no where near the assets the laws were designed to counter.
What you end up with are fans put in prison for 2-5 years where they become embittered and educated as criminals by the criminal colleges (prisons), and are later released into society with double or triple motive to engage in future economic crimes against society that won't just hurt those "wealthy beyond belief". (Note -- their double motive comes from the fact that because they will have a record, they will find it hard to earn a normal income legally; up to triple is being educated in ways to take society to the cleaners and being taught the moral lesson that the rich make the rules to serve them and democracy is mostly a sham.
Grecian Formula 16 or Clarol depending on your fancies. Henna can be good for a short-term change (50/50 joking/serious).
As for the rest... can you show them any of your work?
Especially good would be something relevant to the field of interest.
No? How about showing them design notes for your latest personal project? Things that lay out data structures and how they interact?
Depending on the field, can you show them 'buzzwork'... work in the latest tech-buzz stuff? Parallelization? Async I/O? Async web-io clients?
Find out what they are looking for, what their interests are, crash-study to become as much of an expert as you can in their field of interest -- so you can reliably speak and talk like an expert. Don't speak beyond your expertise, cuz if you over-speak your knowledge, cuz it will be inevitable that Murphy will be on the review staff if you do (if you don't, he won't).
Interview them -- find out what they are planning and what they want to do -- tell them how you can help them. If you can -- start thinking strategies to help them solve their problem and ask if they'd though of "this" approach -- NOTE -- you have to know the field to pull this off well, so advanced study of your potentials is a big must.
Getting past their preconceptions can only happen if you get a chance to demonstrate something outside of their expectations for "someone of your age and appearance"...which is always "a bit" challenging. People base so much on little things like your email address, (is it at yahoo, your own domain? google? sbc/att? Do you look like a tourist or a serious hacker?)
A website showing some cool things -- especially your own creations, can be a big bonus -- but even if not your own things, did you setup the website yourself? Did you create it yourself? What techs does it (or do you use)?
Each situation is unique && has its own challenges. I wish you the best of luck, as I know employers can discriminate with impunity in today's pro-business environment. They have all the marbles in their court as they don't have to give you a reason why they said no...
Why would senators want to prosecute him for leaking classified info if he was only leaking stuff that was made up. That would fall under fiction writing... and claiming they should prosecute him for his fictionalized works, at least indicates the senators are officially supporting his fictionalized works (presumably for profit...)... at the expense of lying to the american people. So... if his stuff is made up, doesn't that mean the senators are lying ?
If I write a commentary about how the government is corrupt and needs to be replaced, and someone reads that and takes that as instruction to delete current government by shooting them, that doesn't make me responsible -- at least not in the US. In other countries -- maybe not true. But it would depend on the country you lived in........
On the compression/uncompressed scale? It's more similar to MP3 in that it is compressed.
In the subdomain of compressed formats, it has the attribute of being lossless, whereas mp3 is lossy.
So, similar on the scale of talking about computer music formats -- most people don't store music in WAV format when you have something like FLAC that buys you space and METAinfo w/no downside.
There are a variety of 10GbE cables and connectors. I have the same connector on my 10GbE cables as on my 1Gb and 100Mb before that.
You CAN get it in fiber if you have some need, but for a small net.. standard 5e cable works fine. Interrupts... not so well either on windows or linux - over 500MB/s, and one side or the other starts getting cpu bound on samba transfers... windows file transfer protocol doesn't scale beyond 1 processor per user (all IO is over 1 tcp/ip connection/user)...
Please understand the difference between *correlation* and equivalence.
If you can't tune out the noise in the summary and see that scientists have found [another*] correlation between high IQ "skills", and some more basic biological function, then you are showing that you couldn't filter, and as a result end up wasting time arguing against a point that doesn't exist in the original article.
**another -- nearly 20 years ago scientists measured something similar with how fast brain signals traveled. They exposed people to a light flash and measured how fast the signal propagated through the brain. It, also, showed a correlation between speed of signal travel in the brain and IQ.
To put it another way. Suppose you have a computer that uses Dynamic memory (needs to be refreshed every 'n' cycles, or the data fades). It also has a permanent store, but that's slower memory and used for long-term storage. "Thinking" occurs almost exclusively with stuff that is in the Dynamic memory. The more 'operations' you can perform on Dynamic memory before it needs to be refreshed, the more complex problems you can handle. It's that simple. You can't solve problems if you can't remember the starting point by the time you get to the end point, or you end up asking "what was the question, again?"
If you can't hold the whole problem set in memory and keep it actively stimulated so you can think about the whole problem at once, you can't *easily* see the whole picture and have a "ahHA!" or "light-buld-turns-on" experience regarding the whole.
So, overall, people who can wade through the noise and find the patterns in a mess of input are the ones most likely to come up with what might be a new solution to a problem set.
Doesn't mean that others can't or won't -- but it will take longer, and, statistically it will be less likely.
I think IQ measures potential in that way. Says nothing about whether or not they will use it or have the information needed to make the connections or have the "desire" or "will" to give a task sufficient attention to solve anything. Someone of less IQ-"gifted-ness" may, out of sheer stubbornness or desire, or will can certainly be more creative and invent more solutions to problems.
I can't say for sure, but I think Edison was more the latter kind -- especially given his saying 'genius is 1%inspiration and 99%perspiration'... and he was a prodigious inventor (who (with a bit of hyperbole) sounds like he was saying he had about 10-30 failures for every 1 success...
Vs. Einstein, who could see a larger picture in a new way than most... but isn't known for inventing nearly so many things.
Einstein was likely much higher IQ than Edison... But would would we really have preferred to only have 1 of those 2 types of person?
If he wanted the names, in one of the two cases he was offered the domain name for free -- but he turned it down to continue the lawsuit. So it wasn't about really wanting the domains, but something else...weird.
