The liquidity HFT provides should be at arbitrage margins, not the insane profits the players are making. If it makes sense at 0.001%, then go for it. At 0.1%, they are raping the system for the 'value' they provide.
How about a heat pump? You are back to even, worst case. Best case, you save all the transmission losses at compressor stations for gas, and eliminate the pollution.
Which gets back to why it should just be a hash in the first place, and not an actual password. For the hash, who cares what characters it has? If the system isn't adequately hardened to prevent an exploit on the password submission then they might as well have a button saying "I promise that I really am AAARRRGGGH."
In my field that should be true: we have gone from using 30x42" drawings down to almost exclusively 11x17" drawings-- and the number of drawings we print has been reduced as well. We have also gotten rid of large, deep CRT monitors that dictated some other constraints.
But, that does nothing for the five reference books, two notepads, and the paper workflow that is still left.
Actually, it has gotten smaller for most executives. Witness buildings like ARCO tower in LA, where the top floors are all vacant, because it is stupid to rip out all the amenities that were provided for the executives, but nobody is willing to rent it for that use anymore.
Bottom line is that large companies more and more rent space rather than owning for balance sheet reasons, so keeping the expense to a minimum is logical.
Senior staff at my company have a 170SF private office; 120-150SF would have been preferred, but it was built-out space. Cubicles are 52SF (7'x7'6")per person, in a tandem/cluster configuration.
Personally I like the open-bench style-- I used it in Hong Kong where I only had 30SF of working space. It is miserable for being on the telephone, and sorely lacking in storage, but it does the job. (Everybody else in the company vetoed that approach...)
Or Hong Kong, London, and Singapore if I recall correctly. While the metric system has many advantages over Imperial, there are many places and industries where Imperial still reigns for borderline logical reasons.
The WSJ had a good article on it; Comcast's accusation is that Level 3 is gaming peering agreements, since the source of data is in control. With web and email traffic, there isn't as much imbalance as with video.
The opposite approach might make more sense. Increase upstream bandwidth and reduce downstream bandwidth to make it easier for P2P traffic which helps your peering ratio.
That's a pretty weak link. I belong to an organization that Microsoft gives money to as well. It's called IEEE. Does that mean I shouldn't use IEEE-1000?
In all fairness, Google does make money by prioritizing their shopping site over other comparison sites. While they don't have AdSense on the shopping site, it does enhance brand.
Usually, I get the google comparison as the third "non-paid" result. That is about right most of the time. Sure beats getting Nextag or Ebay results, although I do sometimes miss the more obscure ones.
Sites that don't add value shouldn't be ranked highly. That added value might be subjective and have various conflicts of interest, but cases like this are pretty clear in my book.
I think the Isreali method is wrong as well (for the US), but using technology to profile people throughout the airport might work. A mix of passenger tracking, video, themal imaging, and correlation of airline data would give good information on behavior for a long enough duration to make someone sweat... with a final metal detector and someone with a gun. Casinos pull it off... could an airport do it effectively?
I was actually thinking about that on my flight this week. If losing the skin doesn't take down the plane then you would need to either get debris into the engine or take out more than a few stringers. Tossing a grenade into the cockpit is about all you could do with minimal explosives or enough time to rig specific shape charges to critical points, all of which could be discovered easily. The grenade scenario is all that is left, and between the irregular opening schedule, the flight attendants, and the air marshal, that is about as likely to work as a takeover attempt.
There might be one other way to do it, but low chances of success.
It kind of makes you wonder how many pounds of explosive would be required-- were the printers even a real threat? Underwear and shoe bombers seem more like theatrics.
Good recommendations, but what I am challenged by is the fact that every company starting out has the same needs. A single 'box' that you unpack and plug in is what you are looking for. Something that even breaks out security logic for various typical organization structures...
An install isn't the answer. I think the IBM package is flawed in that it has an antiquated collaboration model... But I haven't checked it out recently.
Small business owners want someone painless tomstart out with... That even gives them a directory structure for the file server. They are decisions that take time and add no value to their critical initial phase.
I don't think even has a solution tailored to start-ups..
Imap in gmail makes things worse; 'deleted' is a label and not a folder. POP would actually work better if access from a single desktop was the only requirement. Every two weeks, I have to go into the web interface to try and find messages where I manually removed the attachments... The original message doesn't get deleted.
I am surprised Google got that thing so wrong. Fetchmail to the rescue?
We use gmail for our company as well, and I have only recently hit the wall with it. I get a mew hundred MB of messages, and there is no method of deleting (or archiving) attachments off the system.
I am still surprised that there is no popular "appliance" type server for this purpose: something that supports file, print, authentication, accounting, and phone system out of the box. Go extra fancy and allow for painless mirroring and snapshot backups with a second (and third) unit if desired. It seems like at this point in time it shouldn't be that hard to do...
Wonder if there is a case for sexual harassment though-- they are clearly using sexual assault as a strong-arm tactic to force people into the more anonymous form of sexual assault.
VFDs are everywhere... buildings, industry, equipment. Hardly anything specialized now.
The significance of changing the speed is that the particles you are trying to separate out won't at different speeds, leaving a lower enrichment value.
In Architecture studio, they made us go around campus in a wheelchair for a day. It takes about 10 minutes to realize that there are stupid barriers put up that people with full mobility don't see every day. A 36" wide library aisle was a great lesson, after all the gawdawful ramps people put it, and one of my favorites, the curb cuts on the sidewalk that point into the center of an intersection.
While the population in wheelchairs might (clearly doesn't) justify many of these measures, some of them make the world a better place-- gentle ramps make it easier with strollers and rolling luggage, wider aisles make it easier to see books/merchandise, and I am a fan of having the toilet an extra couple inches off the ground, and a little bit of elbow room in the stall.
Other things make less sense or transfer hazards. The truncated domes on crosswalks pose a hazard to women in heels; many places are forced to dedicate too much parking to "universal access" stalls; and our society has developed an unnatural addiction to elevators. Small establishments (under 2,000 square feet) have a number of hurdles to overcome.
Not quite sure NYC's "with assistance" solution is the right way to go, but there is room in the middle.
I think the cost issue is related more to the well design rather than the final rush to completion. There was a lot of discussion about liner/tie-back vs long string early on. Liner/tie-back is a slower process.
Clearly they were on a schedule and trying to make the schedule. It isn't so clear if they made negligent decisions in order to maintain the schedule.
Patent issues are a separate claim unrelated to the copyright issues. While I admit I could be wrong, my understanding is that the person committing a copyright violation is the person who (may have) committed copy-and-paste plagiarism, and then putting that fancy (c) their name symbol.
The license under which it was distributed by that party of the first part would state that parties of the second part could copy it at will without repercussion. If the original copyright holder takes issue with the plagiarism, it can only be with the party that put in their own name by the (c).
It is a reference to the Dalvik VM code pre-dating Android. Since the code had an Apache (?) license, Google complied with that license. If the original party had no authorization to license the code under those terms (copied it from the JVM), then that is not Google's fault (or liability). Seems like a solid defense to this engineer...

Expect similar things for getting your pilot's license within 12 months.

But that ignores the role companies like Akamai play in the game, pushing the content closer to the edge of the cloud.

Haven't you heard of bots? Script it up in Perl and be done with it. You can even grep email to find buzzwords of the day!
