If I really like a TV show there is a great chance it will be canceled. I'm not sure if this applies to consumer goods though. But I think it just because I've got vastly different interests than the average American (just like many of you do as well).

Right. No business would take a real loss to prevent a larger theoretical loss. That's why the insurance industry doesn't exist.

The idea of solving the problem by reclaiming IPv4 addresses was considered, but the math doesn't work:

Now, average daily assignment rates have been running at above 10 /8s per year, for 2010, and approached 15 /8s towards the end. This means any reclamation effort has to recover at least 15 /8s per year just to break even on 2010’s growth. That’s 5.9% of the total IPv4 address space, or 6.8% of the assignable address space.

Looking at the /8 blocks assigned to organizations other than regional NICs, there are 40 of them. So even if we could persuade all those organizations to give up their /8s, and even if we could organize it all quickly enough, the best we could do would be to put off the problem for 3 more years.

In addition, reclaiming IPv4 addresses is far more expensive than rolling out IPv6, and it's hard enough to persuade companies that they need to roll out IPv6.

And the calculation for class B allocations is even worse, because you have to deal with a lot more organizations; the cost is higher for far lower returns.

If you are working on an existing project that has already chosen to use jQuery, then you should learn it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. Just learn Vanilla JS, and skip jQuery. Your pages will be faster and better.

jQuery was a useful thing a few years ago, but now that browser standards compliance is so much better it's a big chunk of unnecessary code.

"Now seriously..." doesn't stop a sexist joke from being sexist.

Indeed. And he was given the chance to put his side of the story on June 10th. Unfortunately for him, he made a non-apology apology, saying:

"I did mean the part about having trouble with girls. It is true that people - I have fallen in love with people in the lab and people in the lab have fallen in love with me and it's very disruptive to the science because it's terribly important that in a lab people are on a level playing field. I found that these emotional entanglements made life very difficult."

and

"It's terribly important that you can criticise people's ideas without criticising them and if they burst into tears, it means that you tend to hold back from getting at the absolute truth. Science is about nothing but getting at the truth and anything that gets in the way of that diminishes, in my experience, the science."

As for the idea that he was taken out of context, the linked article which is supposed to support that idea quotes him as saying:

"Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry. Perhaps we should make separate labs for boys and girls?”

So yeah. He was sexist in context, he was given the chance to put his side of the story, he doubled down and said he stood by his comments and made more sexist remarks, and only then did he lose his job on June 11th.

Submitter should probably spend less time reading Brietbart.

HBM1 gives 1GB and 128GB/s per stack, so 4GB and 512GB/s in this model with 4 stacks.

HBM2 will double both performance and capacity, and is expected some time next year.

But that's working with 32-terabit floating point values.

Yes. I think cooler heads will eventually prevail, and they'll reverse their knee-jerk decision to phase out nuclear. One only has to look at German CO2 emissions over the past few years to see why. Of course, until they do I'm sure the French and Czechs will be happy to sell Germany their surplus nuclear power.

I have native IPv6 on Time Warner. I just had to arrange a modem swap. Call 'em up and ask if you can get a DOCSIS 2 modem.

2: If IPv6 were backwards-compatible, we wouldn't. We could go from IPv4 to IPv6 just like going from CDs to DVDs to BluRay. But it isn't and therefore we won't ever replace that structure.

IPv6 is backwards-compatible in exactly the same way that BluRay is backwards-compatible with DVD.

Your BluRay player has a BluRay VM and Java VM, and uses H.264 encoded video. None of that is part of DVD playback. There's a totally separate stack of code that handles DVD menus, MPEG-2 video, and interleaved MPEG transport streams. Your separate DVD software stack and BluRay software stack sit on top of a single piece of hardware for reading data from the discs. The UI then makes the distinction largely invisible.

And similarly, my computer has an IPv4 stack and an IPv6 stack, and they both sit on the same network hardware that reads the packets. And the OS makes the distinction largely invisible to the end user.

These are small projects each focused on one specific detail, mostly modelling ways to predict and reduce sonic booms.

Also, the total amount is $5.7 million; I think the $2.3 million might be the first year.

Fastest Carrizo model (the FX-8800P) is 819GFLOPS.
