Having met her, spoken with her, and knowing people that know her well, that's not a fair assessment. She genuinely cares about the material. She was the editor for it all, and she knows it better than anyone other than perhaps Jim's assistant Maria. Saying she's just his wife / widow is very unfair, and saying that she's unhelpful is just untrue. That said, the ebook delay was inconvenient to many of my friends, but there's just something about holding hard bound epic fantasy that enthralls me, and makes me not care for the ebooks.
It ends extremely well. I highly recommend finishing it. 14 books all told, grab them from the library if you don't want to invest the finance into it, it's definitely worth the time.
They're doing it to prevent her from reclaiming the film and television rights, and selling them to someone else. It's always been about the money for them, for the last 7 years. It's a damn shame that people ever believed that they were fans that intended on doing something worthwhile with the rights.
I know it might be hard to believe, but some people run servers that aren't in their broom closet, close at hand. In fact, many run some internationally, and it's a lot more than 10 minutes to go swap a disk. It's a few hundred dollars each time to pay remote hands to swap it.
Enclosure heat. They're "passively cooled" through layers of plastic. If you're not allowing good ventilation around the enclosure, and you're leaving it spinning all the time, it'll bake.
Do you keep track of every outbound connection from your computer to make sure that every request is made by authorized software? Or do you rely on a malware suite to report known threats? Most people are in the second boat, and if none of the providers find it, then malware can be resident for a really long time without being caught. Especially if you're good at avoiding honeypots.
$10,000 as soon as I hit submit on my phone, through the USAA app. I can take checks bigger than that to the UPS store and they're available within the hour.
Or you could be completely wrong about your entire post.. You don't need to build at scale, you need to build it to be able to scale. Meaning that you have separate write and read points for your DB. The read points should be an array, so you can add servers on the fly. The front end should have no dynamic data on it, just hooks to pull from the back end. Means you can independently scale front end for more users viewing, and the back end for more users interacting. When the load goes down, you delete the instances, and remove the IPs from the load balancers and arrays. It's not actually all that hard and it same literally millions of dollars a year for some of the enterprises I've worked with.
Just because you don't know how to do something doesn't mean it can't be done. Just because you'd make a bad design choice doesn't mean that everyone will.
Tea Party are not libertarians. They're closer to traditional Republicans which only want the government involved in what *they* want the government involved in. Libertarians want the government to behave as though it's controlled by the Constitution, and only to get involved when people directly infringe on others' rights.

That's what I use. It routes to 5 separate ports, meaning you can have a second WAP for guests on a completely firewalled / routed port, even on a different IP address. It's able to act as a VPN endpoint. Used to do all the sysadmin / netadmin stuff for an ISP, running completely on mikrotik stuff. It worked well, even in really rough conditions. I highly recommend it.
If we have this much surplus, clearly we're buying too much. I know that if I find myself giving away cans of green beans, I make sure I don't buy a whole pallet the next time I'm at Costco.
You can't use car batteries in your home. They make toxic fumes. You'd have to use marine-quality sealed batteries. And at the scale for your home, you're talking real money, usually around $5000-7500 in just batteries. They're heavy, bulky and take up a lot of room. Just think of putting 20-30 car batteries in your home. Plus you'll need to replace all of them every 3 years or so. If they can make a battery pack for $10,000 that's a fifth the size, lasts 10-15 years, and comes warrantied for use in specifically that method... that's a really big win.
I would consider the reduction of loss of property to be a economic benefit. It's the same reason stores hire loss prevention officers and put beepers at the door.
Oh, well, if you don't trust it, I suppose we should can the whole project. I'll let Mercedes know that their automated controls for slowing down a vehicle to match the speed of the one in front of it, and their lane assist keeping distracted drivers from creaming minivans aren't effective enough, even though they haven't caused any issues yet.
It's not really a needed service, if you can do it yourself just as easily, or if it can be done by a computer. Did you pay a local technician to assemble your computer by hand, transistor by transistor?
You peer with other carriers, not content providers, typically. Exceptions are if the content provider happens to also be in the same data center, or if they are also a carrier, ala Redbox / Verizon, Comcast / NBC, Time Warner, Google / Youtube... So they allow for no-cost peering agreements with the carrier / content provider, and also appear to allow for no-cost co-location. They probably used the word "peering" because it happens to be a hot topic in the news, and they are providing contrast to all the other content provider / carrier combos in that they are working with other people to keep costs down.
It appears that you may not have read the article. They let the providers put servers in their racks at the datacenters, and give them free power and connection to their networks, and if there end up being a bottleneck, it'll be the connections from the servers to the switches, in which case they'll simply allow the provider to put in more servers. It's like the old cache servers that companies would run to make their T1 seem snappier, or the old NNTP servers that they hosted in the past to lower their outside connectivity load.
Population density is pretty good where I live. I live in a major city. In fact, it's a lot like Austin. I know because I lived there all my life until a couple years ago when I moved out here. However, the city needs to make a bid, which means the council needs to not be owned by corporate interests. Our $80 million jumbotron on the stadium came at the price of them trying to close the local public libraries. It's unlikely that they'll see past the payments from the telco and cable company.

I'm replying to this so I can remember to come laugh at this in a couple months when SpaceX pulls off landing and reusing one of their rockets.

Please provide a link or a name for one project that has at least all of the useful functionality that systemd has.
It should never have been in one project to begin with. Do one thing. Do it well. It's an init system that is trying to be an OS.

I read this as "so double your disk I/O requirements for logging, it's not like people actually use their hardware for more than just an init system".

They could have put it in Detroit and used the city itself as an example of post-bombardment Taris.

That song is burned into my soul.

There is no winner when the rabbit must choose between the lion and bear.
They also said they were planning to offer this before Google moved in.
