  1. Re: Oh wow, actually expecting a result? on As Student-Loan Debt Soars, Alternatives, Like Income-Share Agreements, Are On the Rise (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Then it should not be a functional requirement for students to have a computer, housing, or food as part of the university experience. Problem solved.

  2. Re: Cheap service, cheap results on 'Why You Should Not Use Google Cloud' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    How did they calculate the âoesuspicious activityâ quotient that would take their entire subscription (not just a single server) offline? Further, should a provider be able to take your entire subscription offline, having multiple instances wonâ(TM)t work unless they were independently managed using separate subscriptions with replication and clustering services added to user land instead of leveraging vendor tools.

  3. Re: this should be a misdemeanor on Colorado Lawmakers Want To Make It a Felony To Fly a Drone Over a Wildfire (thedrive.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Per the articles cited, said drones were simply observed and were not interfering with operations, however there was a risk that they could and as such the applicable firefighting agencies ended operations per their policy due to violation of a Temporary Flight Restriction not being honored. As such, it remains perceived harm, not actual - unless the overreaction where all operations should cease because a bird-sized and weighted object is in the vicinity.

  4. Re: Unrealistic expections on Tesla's Promised $35,000 Model 3 Is Still a Long Way Off (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    Tesla has officially adopted the Kickstarter model of manufacturing.

  5. Re: Can't be excluded on Stephen Hawking Service: Possibility of Time Travellers 'Can't Be Excluded' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There I thought that there was undeniable proof via the genealogy and taxation records of the Roman Empire that Yeshua bar-Yosef existed, and it was Paulos who first referred to him as Yeshua bar Jehovah.

  6. Re: Important to note: not actually a new feature on You Can Now Run Linux Apps On Chrome OS (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Turning on developer mode disables a lot of the security protections. This change keeps the security on and puts apps in a sandbox, just like Android.

  7. Honest? on Apple Discontinues Its AirPort Router Line (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    Isnâ(TM)t it more that they were finally honest with people that 6 year old products that havenâ(TM)t been refreshed or even discussed have been discontinued long ago and they forgot to tell the public?

  8. Re: You know what else gets Swatted? on Two More 'SWAT' Calls in California -- One Involving a 12-Year-Old Gamer (ktla.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you tried calling a phone number in the past decade? If so, you may notice that the presence of a âoebusy signalâ is essentially non-existent. Further, if a 911 dispatcher has a call about an active emergency at their house, do you think that someone /not answering the phone/ after the call is disconnected is sufficient to declare a fraudulent call?

  9. Re: Way to keep fucking up the market on Cryptocurrency Exchange Kraken Suddenly Goes Dark For Two Days (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    With that, you need to ensure any database changes can be made independently of the code in your prod and staging environments - ensuring both forward and backwards compatibility - or anything short of a cut-over can lead to data integrity issues. If you can ensure referential data integrity, that business logic is not simultaneously executing on the prod and staging instance, and that your load balancing instances are properly configured, than yes, itâ(TM)s a great architecture and development methodology. However, it requires extensive testing - and not just happy path.

    That, and stopping loss faster. Being able to ensure you remain positive even if you aren't making as much on individual trades is what AI excels at, as firms are fine playing the long game.

    The real test will be a do while.

  13. Re: Here's a serious question: on Does Online Crowdfunding Actually Reward Innovation? (strategy-business.com) · · Score: 1

    Here's the way of thinking about it... If you provide funds to a crowd funding activity, you are not legally considered an investor /and/ you are not legally purchasing a product under contract. You are entering into a buyer beware, uncontracted engagement with an entity in which any terms agreed to are tacit rather than explicit. As such, if you engage in crowd funding and you do not receive anything, receive something that is substantively dissimilar to the product stated (such as a backers only update), or do receive exactly what you believed you would, the relationship carries with it no requirement of quid pro quo.

  14. Here I thought that gravity was a construct of the surface of the earth traveling strait up at 1g of acceleration.

  15. Swift bundles itself into the build artifacts. As such, when something changes in the language, you can change your build target if you care or you can continue as you have. The drawback with this approach is that you may have a dozen copies of a distinct Swift version on your device to run your programs.

    Go to the bank and withdraw as much of that now worthless paper as possible... Because even when you canâ(TM)t buy anything with it, paper still has marginal nutritional value... And with as much drug residue is on circulated currency, youâ(TM)d cease to care after a couple thousand dollars of paper lettuce.

    Itâ(TM)s almost like that flat, minimalistic design impeded your ability to quickly and effectively understand the content.

  18. Re: MS's security cam on Microsoft Claims PowerShell Now More Secure (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Per the summary, they acknowledged that they now write better logs and fixed several bugs for improved auditability. As such, it is more secure than it was before said change was made, much like a bank may be more secure with a camera even if the doors remain unlocked.

    The true way to 1 Trillion dollars in savings over 10 years is to take a page from China's playbook and forego the great wall 2.0 and instead build a new, greater firewall 3.0 to protect the country from all those nasty threats like China, Nigeria and those damned pirates on the digital oceans spanning the digital coasts with swords and way too many R's...
