It's in response to this story. Uber had to 'return' stolen files. If one of the employees who had files refuses to return them, then that employee needs to be fired. The employee can't be forced to turn them over, because that would be self-incrimination.....however, Uber needs to prove that they've gotten rid of those files and won't be using them anymore. IANAL but that is my understanding.
Illiac is mentioned in the article. The main thing here is that people are actually paying for full-length auto-generated songs as background music for youtube videos, etc. You can hear an example of it in the background here. It's not much, just like white noise except a little more sophisticated.
That's definitely one meaning of "the cloud" lol
It can also mean things like "remote storage" which is what most people think of. "My music is in the cloud"
Nadella: "I want a new cell phone!"
Underling: "We tried sir, three times. (under his breath: we should have kept Windows Mobile, at least people bought it)."
Nadella: "Well make it different this time. Make it in the cloud!"
Underling: "Uh....ok. (under his breath: does that even mean anything?)"
Nadella: "And put some AI in it. Our Taybot was showing good results!"
Underling: "Heil sir!"
Nadella: "What?"
Underling: "Nothing, sir. Should we make it IoT?"
Nadella: "If it has that Intel Inside, nothing can fail"
Underling: "ok........"
If you go to a 'lesser' university, it's a good idea to get a feel for what a graduate in your major is supposed to learn. That way you can supplement your education by reading books from the library or doing personal projects, in case one of your professors turns out to be a dud. Then you truly can get a world-class education at a lesser university.
If you look at the total picture, money put into the bank is multiplied because of the fractional reserve, it gets spent multiple times. That's why they call money before it is put into the bank the first time "high-powered money." If you think money put into a bank is the same as money put into a mattress, you need to spend more time thinking about it.
Yeah it's a problem. You are likely to be better off going to UC Merced and getting more personal attention at a lower cost.
On the other hand, I've known some good programmers to come out of Berkeley, so maybe they're still getting the basics right. If you're learning a linked list, a graduate school advisor can probably teach it almost as well as Donald Knuth.
The thing that Microsoft did that was really annoying was to prevent computer manufacturers from installing anything other than Windows on their computers. Although the focus was heavily on Netscape in the trial, in my mind their deals with manufacturers were worse.
At Berkeley they have a professor who lectures a huge class, then a bunch of graduate students who work more closely with the individual students. So you rarely talk to the professor, but you frequently talk to your graduate student advisor.
I can't speak to the effectiveness of this system, but the purpose of course is to save money.
"No!" said Snapchat CEO Kevin Systrom. "Our app has so many features. Just in identification of viewers alone, our databases can target age and income better than anyone else around except Google. We can divide the market up by interest and gender and our product placement.......I mean narrative tools are the best around so you can get your story out. Our analytics are the best"
After an aid came up and whispered in Systrom's ear, he spoke again with a slightly more bashful look. "I mean......take pictures. Lots of them. Our pictures are the best pictures. Try our filters, ok, thanks."
After the conference, the CEO was heard to accidentally whisper on an open mike, "Why am I talking to the proles? Who set up this meeting? I want them fired. They should take full responsibility.....it was me? What? OK, no you're fired."
Also, I don't even think Venezuela can rightly be considered socialist. It's true they do give out presents to the peasants sometimes, but so did many monarchs throughout history. It has all the markings of a typical Latin American strong-man government.
There were so many bad decisions in Venezuela that if people don't know them, and blame it all on oil, they are ignorant. Beyond ignorant because they don't realize they are ignorant.
You are right though, it wasn't the government type that caused the problem here.
No, blaming it all on just oil is ignorance, your ignorance. I can tell you haven't been paying attention to what goes on inside Venezuela. I don't know where you got your news, but you should expand your news sources.
Little known fact: "keep calm and carry on" is actually originated as a phrase to tell people when they find out what's in black pudding.
"Keep a stiff upper lip" is the term of endurance you have to make when the figgy pudding hits your stomach. urghhs.
It's so bad that half of the British national dish, fish and chips, wasn't even invented in England it was invented in France, and the fish part was brought to England by Sephardic Jews.
The main reason the British had to let India into the commonwealth, was because otherwise they would have no good restaurants in London.
I went off a bit there, did I? But if you can find some nice maple syrup freshly dripped from a tree.......now there you have something good.
To blame Venezuela's problems on oil is to ignore the incredible mismanagement going on in the country. Price controls as a method of controlling the economy were discredited decades ago, and cause shortages. That is one reason Venezuela is having trouble. Another is because they close down any business that is doing well.....for example, if a grocery store is full of food, they close it down because obviously the store was hoarding food, keeping it from the people. Another reason is because they nationalized the oil, and they didn't really know how to run oil wells, so their production dropped. And yes, the price of oil dropped, which has hurt them (but it's hurt Norway and Russia too, and neither one is having the troubles of Venezuela). You can also add corruption: the daughter of Hugo Chavez is the richest person in Venezuela.
Venezuela's problem have nothing to do with socialism: it's poor mismanagement in so many areas of government.

The only use it seems to have found so far is as a kind of advance white-noise filler for youtube videos. It is perfectly adequate for that.
However, I find the vast majority of classical music to be monotonous and mundane.
No the issue there is definitely you lol. That's not a problem, there's no need for everyone in the world to understand music.

I used to be a nerd. Now I'm constantly surrounded by people who are more nerdy than me. They have their faces stuck in a cell phone.
That's definitely one meaning of "the cloud" lol

I'm telling you that if you put money under a mattress, it's different than putting it into a bank. Do you disagree with that point?

When people borrow money, they spend it. So the money they store in the bank that gets loaned out gets spent.
Also, I don't even think Venezuela can rightly be considered socialist. It's true they do give out presents to the peasants sometimes, but so did many monarchs throughout history. It has all the markings of a typical Latin American strong-man government.
Yeah the other decisions they've made have been equally stupid.
There were so many bad decisions in Venezuela that if people don't know them, and blame it all on oil, they are ignorant. Beyond ignorant because they don't realize they are ignorant.
You are right though, it wasn't the government type that caused the problem here.
OSX never existed in the 68k era.
I think you didn't quite understand the context of the conversation, mate. You are right though, NeXT was rather great.
Xamarin is better
That's awful.
No, blaming it all on just oil is ignorance, your ignorance. I can tell you haven't been paying attention to what goes on inside Venezuela. I don't know where you got your news, but you should expand your news sources.
77% is not good. I would not say it's outperforming any coders.
