Well, THEN the Founding Fathers should be spinning in their graves. Heck, I think we can install a turbine on Jefferson's grave alone and get power for the entire northeast.
I find it kind of funny (and I find it kind of sad) that US-ians will go all 'free speech' on China while they themselves can barely get on public transportation without the US gov breaching several other aspects of their constitutional rights in some sort
Why? The constitution only regulates the US government. It doesn't regulate neither the Chinese government nor private entities inside or outside the US.
Scientific studies have shown the opposite though. People slowing down unnecessarily below average speeds is what causes traffic jams. Generally those that stand on the brakes the second someone in front taps off their cruise control with the brakes are the causes of the ripple effect.
Look at any section where lanes are reduced or split - people slow down (ok) but then there are those that slow down so much as to either fit in last minute that they slow down the entire side of the split that has less traffic or they always leave 2 18 wheelers of space between each other or practically come to a stop because of someone fitting themselves into that space (especially if they're on the phone).
a) You should definitely get a better ISP then. (I know the US sucks etc but it should be unacceptable that you have to pay more for simply pumping a few more bits on an unmetered medium) b) If you've ever popped in a Blu-Ray film, you know that ain't true unless you're breaking the law. There are a number of previews, a number of unskippable notices that you're a criminal, sometimes you'll even need an update before all of that and THEN it starts. If you're breaking the DMCA (even with a legally owned disc), you circumvent all of those but that's illegal. c) If *I* want to watch a movie on a plane, I bring my laptop... disks are too clunky and heavy. Media is available on non-disc formats these days (even legally). d) If *I* want to loan a movie to a friend, I simply point his media center software to my shared disk.
There is currently no legal way to watch a movie in a convenient way (in the US), you, the consumer lost.
Several decades ago you would also not imagine any circumstances where Congress would hamper the government's ability to pay it's own workers (Government shutdowns), hamper it's ability to get and give credit (raising the debt ceiling), hamper laws that protect the equal rights of all it's citizens (recognizing non-traditional unions), create laws that take away a women's right to choose (anti-abortion legislation), create laws that hamper science education (considering creationism) in school or hamper laws against large companies effectively buying out both law enforcement (DMCA) and democratic elections (Citizens United).
Our government has been co-opted by religious zealots with the end goal of creating the Christian version of Sharia/feudal law where the rich and religious leaders have and maintain all the power (you keep them dumb, we'll keep them poor).
The problem with any of those countries (Afghanistan, Iraq,...) and most countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa is that they aren't a singular country. They may be in theory but in practice, Afghanistan is a collection of mountain-roaming war tribes, Iraq is a collection of separate ethnic groups and that is the case in most of those countries.
They kill each other off because they've done so for millennia, the Bible and Koran being some of the more well known histories/mythologies surrounding some of those wars. Going in to fight one of these tiny groups (and most groups are only a few 1000 in size) just pisses off the other groups because you're not "on their side".
Although the US military may be superior in fire power, I think the US military in such situation would be inferior due to bureaucracy and partisan politics. In Russia, there is no split Congress that would block such expenditure or anyone that would bother with politics and image, Putin is the boss and if you're a non-compliant member of the Kremlin, you'll be shipped off to Siberia.
Not necessarily. I know at least one institution where day-to-day purchase orders have to be submitted in writing, signed off by two or three people, in triplicate, sent by inter-office mail, typed up into a minicomputer, printed out (using a daily batch print job), sent back by inter-office mail for verification, sent back again by inter-office mail with confirmation after which they'll create a purchase order send it back by inter-office mail after which you can send it to the vendor. Then once you got the product, the vendor sends an invoice where it has to be processed again in the minicomputer, printed out, sent out for verification, sent back with confirmation after which they'll write a check, send it back to you for sending to the vendor. Then once the vendor cashes the check, there is a final verification sent out and sent back.
Oh and none of these processes are connected with a database. If you send them anything at any step, you have to include the entire purchase order because they won't know what you actually ordered when you simply say Purchase Order Request 135595. This process is supposed to take 2 weeks however they currently have a 3 week backlog.
Replacing the system hasn't been done because (back in the day) they decided to go with a closed source solution and all that data is forever locked in a binary system. They're attempting to replace it with a closed source cloud-based system from an Australian vendor (this is in the US) which will take 2 years and 7 Aussie developers on-site (at ~$250/h each + room and board) just to implement the business processes, data extraction is done by another vendor to the tune of ~$1M. Your tax dollars at work!
You could've sued and gotten your rent back for every day that something was claimed to be out of order (if your furnace doesn't work for 3 days, you technically don't have to pay rent for 3 days).
No they can't. A landlord has to notify you at least 24/48 hours in advance (varies depending on jurisdiction) and then only for reasons pertaining to the state of the property (such as repairs, inspections or to show prospecting buyers). So MS can log into your account if it were necessary to perform maintenance but not to rifle through your personal stuff.
Which may also destroy your project as the impedance of those meters sucks balls and the testing current is so high, it could actually destroy a transistor. I actually got one of those for free in a toolkit, worthless piece of crap, can't even measure a resistor properly (more than 20% off the accuracy) and gives off enough current that when you measure a 20W speaker it actually gives off a tone.
I don't know if you saw a picture of the devices. They look suspiciously much like a real Fluke, they have the same shape, same color, same layout, same print, same large display. That same manufacturer may have made Fluke knockoffs and sent them to the US which is why they were flagged, manufacturing in China may be cheap but you can be guaranteed that you will also contribute to your own brands' knockoff market.
Compare Apple EDU offerings to Dell/HP + Microsoft offerings for edu.
The price for dell/hp edu is not your bargain front store price. Dell solutions with 3y gold warranty, Windows Enterprise pre-imaged, shipped and on-site services are more expensive than Apple + AppleCare which has all that and way better service.
Besides the cost of the machines, MS server, exchange, share point, SQL etc. all cost 1000's of dollars in yearly licensing fees and each piece of software has a seat associated with it with a complicated price structure. Even office365 gets very expensive the minute you want directory integration, support and some extra disk space. It's not uncommon for a sufficiently large edu organization to have a small department of people devoted to figuring out Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft and Mathworks licensing for faculty, staff and students.
The US had little to do with the European front compared to either the US's Asian front or compared to other allied forces (UK, France). German losses on the Russian front, the years of internal resistance and internal politics were way more damaging to Nazi Germany than the invasion by US forces.
If it weren't for some extreme luck on the landings in Normandy and a minimal defense force (the Germans were ready to intercept at the location of the plan but due to weather they accidentally landed at less defended places that were thinned out because of the heavy German losses in Russia), the US would likely have lost right there. Heck, given the politics of the day, the US didn't intervene for years until they were on the receiving end of aggression.
RaidZ/raidz2 is your friend! No hiding failures, throughput is better (over enough disks) than an individual raid controller and all data is checksummed, encrypted, snapshotted etc
Typically in a housing unit (like an apartment) the owners would do this. There have been some that started to do this, offer network services to their residents for free or for a premium. This saves them money by not having different cable installers trampling over the last cable installer (which are all from the same company off course because you don't have much choice) and damaging existing infrastructure, it also saves them complaints from one system interfering with the other and less effort adhering to laws that allow everyone to have their own dish/cable/phone line of choice.
One of the apartment complexes I lived in installed a 100/20 Mbps line with a contracted really large dish for TV and distributed phone, internet and tv to all units for $20/month. TWC could suck it as the majority of the residents stepped over.
I never knew Nazis made the A-bomb for my country, heck, the Nazis (almost) overran my country.
I never said the product doesn't do what it's supposed to do. There may however be unknown side effects to the reference implementation. The question remains legitimate though, why, if you wanted to create an open, uncontrolled currency are you under an NDA? The two are opposite to each other.
I think legal = moral, heck I do things that I believe are moral that may be considered illegal in some parts of the world. If you've ever downloaded music or movies, if you've even linked to a site you did not own copyrights to, you may have done something illegal regardless of how much people it helped. If you're gay, if you have sex without being married, if you smoke pot, if you drink alcohol, all those things are immoral or illegal in some communities.
Your definition of morality should not imply that I am limited in my freedoms to do with my stuff what I want to do with it. If I made enough money that shifting it around through Switzerland would help me keep that money, I would do it, you would do it and almost anyone, personal or business that has the money to staff an accountant and a branch in another part of the world does this.
Lol, as if any other companies are any better. Microsoft has been doing this for far longer than Apple, so has Amazon, Cisco, Dell, Dropbox, eBay, EMC, Facebook, Google, HP, IBM, Intel, LinkedIn, Logitech, Oracle, PayPal, Twitter and a number of other companies.
Not necessarily a conspiracy but his statements only create more questions. A career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military ending with Bitcoin in which he is no longer involved and cannot discuss it because it's been turned over to other people.
a) Who was his employer when he developed Bitcoin b) Why did a Japanese citizen work on classified US military projects c) Why, if it were a personal pet project, is he no longer involved d) What contractual obligation does he have where he can't discuss it e) Who are these other people he has turned it over to
Because of it's users' requirement for "privacy" it easily implies you should use Tor or other private networks. If it is an inherent property for Bitcoins to generate a specific signature within common encryption, together with control over the major networks (AT&T, Verizon,...) and bugs in several SSL/TLS libraries (goto fail, GnuTLS) you can quickly develop a map of the underground Internet, detect undergrounds you aren't aware of yet and possibly open them up to warrantless inspection without anyone being aware.
The "read only user" was hyperbole but it's very close to a technical solution. To "open your data" all you need is a system that you can point to and will resolve externally. Usually, that link will be a very specific data set which is included in the paper and which will be available. How you organize it internally doesn't matter, as long as you can point to say an HTTP page with all the data in read only. There are no major security issues there because the data should already be open, it doesn't matter if someone can read all of it, that's the purpose of research data after all. There is at least one system at several institutions I know off that basically does this although it's not fit (yet) for large data sets - you upload a data set, at some point the PI says "make this public" and there you go. You could instead of re-upload to another system, have an internal link to the data. Most institutions already have this, it's a matter of making it usable and accessible.
I was talking about data - tape robots have been around for ages for pretty much any type of tape. Poorly chosen archival solutions will never be made accessible but we've been able to do data archival in an organized fashion for at least 20 years now and there is no reason to put current data on VHS. As far as tape -> disk, again, any decent archival solution has to make sure their data can be read. Instead of reading it and verifying it and then re-storing the tapes (and yes, when I started, loading tapes in and out of the robot was a job that took me a full day), simply copy the stuff off once and for all. If you really need to have everything from the VHS tapes, there are solutions for it, not free but that's the cost of bad decisions.
As far as requirements for grants NSF: provide reliable digital preservation, access, integration, and analysis capabilities for science and/or engineering data over a decades-long timeline; Most grants will actually require something along those lines but won't have an associated budget for it. We're IT guys, we maintain lots of stuff from decades ago that has long since run out of funds. It's the cost of IT, part of it will be funded by separate grants to maintain that data, part of it will be funded through established trusts, part of it will be funded by "upgrades" which are costed under a different grant. Or did you really think that 1TB of data costs $1500/year to maintain.
I actually do this for a living; Having data available for projects does require it to be on large data systems which are properly backed up etc. Heck, any halfway decent staged system (Sun used to make really good ones) will allow you to read tapes as if it were a regular network share. The problem will be (which is inevitable) that your PI is going to ask for the data 3 years after they left the institute and your tapes will be unreadable (either because they degrade or because you can't find a reader and associated busses and software)
The mag tapes in boxes problem we fixed years ago by simply putting everything on spinning rust with ZFS. As capacity increases (we're 3 generations in now - 750GB, 2TB and now 4TB drives), the old stuff simply takes up a diminishing percentage of any expansion we put in. Individual data sets from ~10 years ago were 100MB, now they're close to 2GB, those 100MB sets aren't even a noticeable portion today whereas back in the day they filled up the entire *gasp* 3TB array.
I do understand the grant issues, most of those grants will actually mandate a 20 year or-so archival period but never have the money for it. I've figured out that future grants will simply pay for today's "large amount" of data storage in a small overhead because 10 years from now, 2TB of storage for a study will be like today's 100MB for a study.
Unlike a museum, data doesn't require anyone to physically interact in order for it to be available. Whether or not you make the data publically available, you have to store and make it privately available, putting in public access is a matter of creating a read-only user and opening a firewall port.
The sad thing is that most scientists don't actually store their data properly, it sits on removable hard drives, cd or an older variant of portable media (zip drive, tape) until it's forgotten about, lost, thrown out or irretrievably degraded. I would bet you that the majority of studies of even the last 3 years would not be able to present their data if asked about; maybe you'll get lucky and find an old, undocumented algorithm for MATLAB on MacOS 9 or so which they used to interpret the data but which is hopelessly useless these days.
