Nice people.
These nice people are the ones that vote for Brexit, and most of them are the ones who will suffer more.
I can't feel bad for them.

Vacuum cleaners were nerfed here in the EU.. expect the same to happen in the US.
I have a bronze PSU, and I willl NEVER recoup the cost.. from a decent PSU to a "green PSU" the difference is about 2-5% efficiency.
If your rig draws 75W, and you use it 40 hours a day, 5 days a week for eleven months a year for five years, that us 165KWh. If we save 5%, that is 8.25KWh, or about 1.32$.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to recoup the cost.
It is way better to use low power CPUs than high efficiency PSUs.
Today they just cant compete with intel, and have plenty of trouble competing against nvidia.
The thing is, the desktop is almost dead except for high performance computers, and most computers are bottom of the barrel.
Arm looks like the winner in the medium term... I would NOT be a long term investor on amd shares...
Arm looks like the winner here
Kids these days have no clue about pointers, or how the processor works, etx. This leads to extremely inefficient code.
So we put them to do the JavaScript part, as hey, that goes on the client's budget.
We all do it, so tje result is the frontend ppl get less pay, and this means it attracts less talent... Not a good thing.
I moved to the uk because it is park of the european union.
Had I wanted to be discriminated I would have decided to go to Australia, and if I wanted plenty of money with little security, the US is a better choice for me, and an easy one as my wife is a US citizen.
So here I am, in the uk, we bought a house and the country de decided to self inflict itself a looong divorce.
As for the article, I would rather hire somebody with experience for more money than a just minted engineer. It is way better for the business, and for me
I like Oracle and Microsoft products.
But these days, licensing costs just can't justify using them.
Oracle has good products that make it too easy to use "enterprise" parts of them so the price jumps 10x, and they you are out of compliance, etc. Avoid.
Microsoft.. you need an specialist to know the price, and even then, nothing is sure... also, they really love to charge per seat, and pricing only makes sense if you go fully into microsoft products.. An please dont mention SAP.
So now many people are going to SaS.. Why? In maby cases, licensing..it is just cheaper for them.. running your own high availability system paying oracle et al is way more expensive... and doing it yourself requires talent, and talent reuires money.
So you want to go back to the old argumente eh?
It was a 32bit card that saved space space and power by dithering to 16 bit and then upscaling.. they claimed 22 bit and was almost 24bit quality.
That said, the quality difference on "normal" quality CRTs of the time was very similar between 16 bit and 24bit. Yoo needed an Eizo or a Trinitron to see the difference.
We have to strike a 10.000 pound deal with a cloud provider, and we can't even get them on the phone.
They don't appaer to be interested, so they have discarded themselves as providers.
I know it is not a big amount of money, but it should be enough for someone to just call us.
But then again, they could have filmed him and use incapacitating gas.
Quite obviously the purpose was to kill him, not to detain him.
While some people may be happy, the correct thing on a country where the rule of law works is to put people to trial. And a fair one.
Now, he can end up being a martyr, and he proved his point.
DNA Foundries wont produce viruses as they blast your sequences to prevent you from doing these things.
And it is a bit sad that yesterday was SynBioBeta activate on Edinburgh, openning of a DNA foundry in Edinburgh and Synthetic Yeast 2.0 annual meeting also in Edinburgh, and no news about it.
Also, I do not want to diminish the excellet work at UW, but you could name the DNA manufacterer, they are quite proud about being able to fulfill the DNA order from Microsoft.
Yet getting out of the EU forces the UK to deal with our "friends" on an almost "begging" situation, and it is the ppl who think like you who mostly voted out of the EU.
I just don't understand why not trusting UK politicians == giving them more power.
Note: I don't want to imply taht you voted yes or no, or that you voted.
Ok I will post in non-anon.
Many of the results they publish are non repeatable. So many people I know check the results, and if they come from India, discard them. This is terrible for science, as I am sure there are plenty of really usefull papers coming from India.
Their IT products are similar, and my guess is: it is a cultural problem. I have Indian colleagues who are excellent and some of them were trained in India, some in the UK.
Note: in my team there are ppl from all over the world, and mos of them are excellent, many are better than me in problem solving, I just have the advantage of experience, so I "solve" the problem knowing how to solve it.. experience is important.
Note: low cost IT sobcontranting in India is going to get you the bottom of the barrel ppl from India, and bottom of the barrel there is really bad.
I speak English, Spanish, French, Dutch, and Basque.
And my wife speaks both english and Spanish.
I speak daily with a greek work colleage.. in both english and french.
Still, english is a good "universal" language, but do remember that for centuries the language used in diplomacy was french..
Agree.
I had to fix myself some nasty bugs on Oracle 9 HP PA-Risk, basically reimplementing critical regions, etc, and:
1.It took a while to get it right.
2. It was slower than Oracle standard implementation (but that implementation was broken on a specific scenario on multiprocessor PA-Risc UX).
As for ACID.. if you really need ACID, then, GO ACID, if you need it in a few circunstances, you could just code arround it, or having two data repositories.
I don;t think that services like BlaBlacar are a problem: it really is carsharing (and if someone tries to make a benefit, they will be surprised to know you lose money).
With Uber.. no problem either: it can be used for private car hiring if the drivers have the licences. And respecting all the laws, of course, and that includes paying taxes, etc.
I don-t see the EC saying that we have to accomodate software piracy.. etc
Using the case as a heatsink is the best method, and some computers like the Newton V are doing that for the home/office/education, not only industrial ones.
It is the more expensive way of doing things, but also the best, unless you need serious power, then you really can't use this approach.
They probably have their private keys, and can just update the firmware-
So they don't NEED apple, but would like not to go the big effort it is to get the keys in the first place: it is expensive, and keys change, also, there are many companies.
So they just wanted to have the precedence.
Err, no.
You can make a UI as good as the old one, replace the old one and it would be a big mistake, as you have to get to know the new one, for no benefit.
Same happens with W10.
It is way better for tablets and phones: it is quite good for them.
But it is terrible for power users, admins and people who have poor vision.
It is also less efficient for mouse and keyboard use.. and the use of realstate screen is worse.
So it is worse for the majority of the users, and better for the non paying ones: you know, the ones that buy tablets and phones that MS makes no money on..
Having a "classis" desktop is almost no effort. I know, because I use start10 etc, mantained and created by fewer that 5 people. Microsoft CAN maintain two desktops at almos no cost, the problem is THEY REFUSE to do it. On top of that, w10 is almost spyware.
I still use Windows because I game a lot, and my games are mostly windows only, buy I am considering moving to another OS.
First problem, is how to feed the LTO Drive.
As you know, it can only "stream" data unto tape effectively.
And the data is compressed on the fly.
So you need hight performance HDDs, or ram cache, or wahteveer scheme you have.
If you have a local tape and backup from drives, that will be your limit.
Then, in order for this to make sense, you have to change the tapes. And THIS is the problem. Somebody changing tapes is EXPENSIVE.
So, it is a no no if you are colocated.. only works on your own premises and iomplies going inside the CPD.. or having a robot.
When you start having robotic arms, the cost of the drive starts being irrelevant, the backup device starts getting really expensive.
So at that point you might reconsider and just use an storagepod, that is less expensive to operate than tapes, much more reliable (you know, yo CAN get your data for sure our of the system) and is also random access.
If you are a huge player, tape makes almost no sense, if you are small makes no sense at all, so it is medium enterprises that MIGHT be interested.
Frankly, I don't understand why people buy tapes...it ends up being more expensive.. and I said the same about big and expensive HDDs SANs vs Flash.
On military projects, you get the specs, are NOT told what are they for and you program your small part to specs.
So, as you have no way of knowing WHY are you doing those ADA parts of the system, you can't catch the logic problems..
Good part:
even if you steal that part of the program, alone it is of no use to anyone.
Bad part:
if the analysis is crap, the result will be crap and expremely expensive.
SNP.. quite clear, the current UK government is Tory, with more than 50% of the votes on 36.9% of votes.
Scotland voted SNP and Labour, just 15% voted Tory, yet we have to be ok with not being able to choose...
As for sovereignty.. well, I disagree, international treaties and commerce tie all countries.
They don't block all VPNs, as I can watch iPlayer while I go on vacation back to Spain.
As for charging that much for content.. really not worth it. I would then DEMAND to have the content available after it is broadcasted.. and I mean the minute it is started to broadcast, and to remain some months.
