Why exactly should you never be the first to mention compensation in an interview process?

Because they may have an offer that is much highter than what you'll ask for. Or, in other words, reasons that don't actualy happen in real life unless you are a complete noob at the workforce.

That's essentially what this article is tacitly saying is A-OK

To be fair, it sayng that reality works this way, not that it's ok.

It's interesting to see how we IT people think that others should really understand the technical details of what we do.

We are talking about the CIO here. Do you expect a CFO not to be able to read an accounting statement?

And what time was this when the rich didn't control the military and the police?

The poor aren't rising now against the rich because if they did that, they'd become poorer, not richer. Things are that simple.

Both things have no relation at all. Of course you can have a free market in health care, the same way you can have a free market in food or transportation.

And, yeah, the demand is very inelastic. That means that in a free market, companies will compete to get market share, and not cooperate to increase the market. That makes it a brutal market for companies, but doesn't change things very much for consumers.

How did you stablish that the A/C is an adult?

When you buy directly the cost savings of middle man usually goes to the producing company.

If there are any savings (not a given, like you said), their distribution is a bit more complex than that. Changing the structure of a market changes the supply and demand curves, changing the price point.

Normaly, if there is just one suplier (or a few, with well differentiated products) selling directly, he gets nearly all of the savings. But as more suppliers start doing that, competition forces the price down.

Thanks, that gets the overall picture.

So, the idea is that they'll get some very nice inductors on die, capable of replacing some much more expensive external ones. Also, they can distribute the load to a lot of paralel circuits, creating the right tension for each part of the chip, and reducing the loss of each circuit.

But really, at 90W, a embebing a 76% efficient (not really an exceptional result) conversor means that you'll need to dissipabe other 28W at peak power. Well, I can't say if this is worth it. Certainly, Intel engineers can say, but won't, and the marketeers will lie anyway.

FF reopens all the tabs after a crash.

Do you have any facts that prove him wrong? Post them.

As a general rule, turbines are more efficient than pistons, and fuelcells/electrics are more efficient than turbines.

Fuel cells can be anywhere from 1% to 90% efficient. In this case it's probably nearer the 90% limit, but that's not the general case.

Yeah, I know the Nook was ok... Maybe the time has come for B&N to create an actualy good e-reader, like nothing already in the market.

Or maybe they could stop locking themselves behind plataforms, and create something for all tablet-like devices out there. With unobstrusive or no DRM.

But if an atacker gets your PayPal password by breaching PayPal's database, he'll use it to long into PayPal's site, not yours, and it is PayPal that must impement the fix, not you. Of course, the person that wants the fix isn't the same that wrote the flaw, the problem is that the person with the capacity of actualy creating the fix is the same person that created the flaw (and sometimes doesn't want it exposed).

Your second scenario is useful. If your code stop being updated, you get an alarm. The problem now is how does that compare with false positives? Maybe you want strong dummy passwords, and not weak ones like I was assuming.

So does this mean I need to remove sshd?

No, but if you can you should disable pasword authentication.

It's a nice filter. If apache isn't using shared memory, you are ok. If it is, well, research further.
