Footnote: $699 License Fee applies to your systemP server running RHEL 7 with 4 cores activated for one year. To activate additional processor cores on the systemP server, a fee of $199 per core applies. systemP offers a new Semi-Activation Mode now. In systemP Semi-Activation Mode, you will be only charged for all processor calls exceeding 258 MIPS, which will be processed by additional semi-activated cores on a pro-rata basis. RHEL on systemP servers also offers a Partial Activation Mode, where additional cores can be activated in Inhibited Efficiency Mode.

I didn't read TFA but it sounds like that they are trying put a cap on surge pricing, not eliminating it altogether. And frankly I don't see anything wrong in it. I have at times seen surge prices equaling more than 5x of the normal fares. And that definitely hurt because app cabs have driven local cabs out of business in the city where I live; so I in fact ended up paying that as waiting wasn't an option.
And you do think that one can come up with a convincing answer on when to use locks and threads by looking it up on the stackexchange while on a voice call? If you are asking open-ended, conceptual questions then it doesn't really matter whether the candidate is on a voice call, video call or face-to-face IMO.
Actually, how many employees does Microsoft have from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia and Libya? I thought that most of their foreign employees would be people from Europe, China and India, who are untouched by this order
As per TFA:
Microsoft has an employee who is stranded outside the U.S. while the person’s children are here, and another who cannot leave the U.S. to visit a critically ill parent, Smith said in the letter. The company said it has 76 employees who, together with their 41 dependents, have nonimmigrant visas to live and work in the U.S. and are affected by the Executive Order.
The interesting point to note here is that RailTel is already an telecom/ISP company that has existed for decades, connecting all Indian Railways offices and stations, open only to railway employees though. As a search giant and software services provider, what technical expertise exactly Google is providing here, is not clear.
And almost 90% of this 80% has found its back into banks; ever since the government banned the higher domination currency notes for almost all transactions in one fell swoop. This should say a lot about the so-called under-reported, undisclosed income. It was plain stupid in the first place to imagine that the undisclosed income of tax evaders was held in hard currency.
There ain't any good humor left on Slashdot these days. I guess the biggest casualty of this election is, no matter who wins, is the death of genuine wit in a large section of population - namely Trump supporters.
Yeah but in Android (or any software in development) you have the consolation of seeing new bugs with every new release. It sucks to remain stuck on same old bugs for more than an year.
I am waiting for the day when they push even the URL bar back as a plugin; you will need to type some keywords in Google search to reach a site. Seriously it flummoxes me as to why people use Chrome.
I suppose it must be actually configured to be accessible behind a NAT using port-forwarding and DDNS. That is how the most IoT stuff is meant to be accessed these days. Controlling them on your local subnet doesn't make much sense in most cases; people would want to view and control their devices from their smartphones etc from remote networks.
There isn't any replacement coming for email in the workplace at least. Email is vendor-neutral and hence is available on all connected devices, technically has no limit on the text that can be typed or data sent as attachments in it, can be locally archived and restored and has other significant advantages over social media that I can't think of at the moment. And heck, anybody can set up his or her private mail server and ensure confidentiality of all email communications. I don't see email dying in any form.
Last night, my Gmail account was temporarily disabled by Google. Upon login, a screen greeted me with the message that Google has temporarily locked down my account after detecting some unusual activity. Some reasons were provided, as to what they thought could be deemed as suspicious - I was either accessing my account from multiple geolocations/was sending bouncing emails/was downloading emails with large attachments/was continuously fetching my mail via Imap/POP or most inexplicably, my browser cache was the problem. All the reasons, save the last one weren't valid in my case. I keep several tabs open and have Adblock Plus in my browser , dunno if they had a problem with any of that.
They did re-enable my account the next morning, but there was nothing I could have done had they chosen to shut off my account permanently. There was no support email or phone number mentioned anywhere, and anyway I wasn't entitled for any support whatsoever. The point being, Google can be worse then the Federal Government in terms of service. You can never be sure when you run afoul of their vaguely defined TOS. Users need to be careful while entrusting their data to free service provider, that's the entire point.
Just out of curiosity what exactly made the GNU tools so liberating in comparison to the proprietary implementations ? I can't imagine the tools being as feature filled or stable as they are now, so was it price (compilers) ?
I can vouch about how usable my HP-UX, SunOS and AIX workstations became after I installed the GNOME desktop , bash and openssh and a bunch of GNU packages on those. This as 12 years ago. There were/are official vendor repositories for GNU software. So yes, I second the AC, GNU without Linux is still liberating.
Also used in India. This could be foresight on the part of BARTs designers, as they anticipated accommodating increased ridership by placing passengers on top of the cars. The wider gauge is more stable and less likely to shake them off.
The gauge width is also useful when you need to stuff 430,000 people into cars designed for 100,000. That, definitely was a foresight by BART designers, i agree.
Magur fish or Clarias Magur first described in 1822, with habitat in Ganga and Brahmaputra river basins in northern and northeastern India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh is very commonly known to have walking capabilities. The link mentions this fish as "Commercial pond aquaculture of the catfish, Clarias batrachus (Linnaeus), commonly known as "pIa duk dan" in Thailand, "ikan lele" in Indonesia, and walking catfish in the U.S.A., first developed in Thailand in the late 1950s".
This newly discovered species has climbing capabilities, so this might be just related to walking fish with more developed muscles.
Bicycles and pedestrians do not need traffic lights, so I think cycling and walking past traffic lights is something good.
Try visualizing yourself as a pedestrian at an intersection with say about 20 bicyclists approaching you in parallel at 30 kmph; what it would be like getting hit by them? It won't be fatal of course but could still cause considerable injury. Traffic signals are needed because not everybody cares about driving etiquette; bicyclists are not an exception.
Other way around, De Beers might go bankrupt; ff this technique produces diamonds cheaply that are impossible to differentiate against natural diamonds,

You forgot to mention Fox News there. I think it outclasses NYT in all the aspects you have mentioned.

Yeah but we can now at least safely untwine [this] man from this fundamental principle.

+5 Insightful.. Wish I had modpoints for you.
Will this mark the return of Automats?

You a lawyer or what?
You always need to have the "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration" feature turned on for your privacy you insensitive clods!!

Desktop Linux is fine. You just have to buy a different brand of graphics card.
Wish I had some mod points today.
