Wether you're just getting started with CF or have been running a platform for a while, I can help:

- Build and operate a long-term sustainable platform based on Pivotal Cloud Foundry or open-source Cloud Foundry

- Train a "never-used-CF-before" devops team to do the above

- Integrate CF with a range of logging+monitoring solutions and/or set up OSS CF logging+monitoring tooling via BOSH.

- Leverage CI/CD (Concourse) for eg: automated testing to assert the stability of the platform; automated patching to reduce time platform is vulnerable; automated upgrades to reduce manual operations burden.

- Almost anything else to do with Cloud Foundry, Concourse and BOSH.
now it is that I figured out how to use it after 3 months of DH!

I'm not sure, but I suspect that some things are expensive enough to be beyond private investment. Mega-projects like the Apollo missions, the Hubble telescope, the LHC and such seem likely to be too risky to embark on with a prize as the incentive.

Edit: I know the LHC has nothing to do with NASA; it is just in a similar vein.

I'm no expert about this topic (effects of society on evolution), but it seems to me like after a certain age, there are diminishing returns from having grandparents. One critical point might be when you get a stable job. After that, the role of grandparents probably can't compete with other selective pressures to keep those grandparents cancer-free. Right?

As to having children later in life, that could certainly help the situation, but only if we all agree to do that. If there is some genetic factor that determines when a person wants to have kids, then people who want to have kids earlier will likely win out.

>She seems to believe that the public sector can innovate...okay, where is the evidence of this?

Well, she wrote a whole book about it, she's not just asserting it. The public sector played a huge part in the genesis of the Internet for one thing.

>The examples of successful innovation are cases where private incentives have been merged with public funding. All very suspect.

But another pretty critical point of that book was that our public conversation is inhibited by the extremely limited vocabulary we use to describe it. Is a defence contractor really part of the "private sector"? Is a NASA engineering team part of the "public sector" the way an employee of a mail sorting centre is? What about an academic working for an old school monopolist like Bell? Ok, fine it was privately owned so if you want to use a crude and almost useless private/public sector split it is very easy to say "private" but it's not private sector in quite the same way as a local shop is, is it?

The minimum power is what is needed to fly to the closest diversion airport. This could be at a lower altitude and reduced speed. It is substantially less than the power used in take off or go around. Airplanes work in a variety of conditions and do not need 100% to get home in an etops situation.

The rule you talk about is more clearly applicable to rockets that run at 100% for most of the flight.

Well, a related item is that airlines simply got tired of maintaining 4 engines (I'm putting it somewhat jokingly but not too far from the truth). For the not much better fuel efficiency and capacity, the complexity of the 747 4 engines are that much more of a headache to maintain properly.
Ideally though, all private healthcare would be banned.

Aside from ideological concerns about not giving the wealthy an unfair advantage, this has pragmatic benefit in ensuring that the public healthcare system is up to standard.

That is, if the wealthy and powerful are forced to use it too, it means they have skin in the game and won't just use their power to run it into the ground in pursuit of profit or from lack of concern for others.

I'm not sure how to respond to this. On one hand you talk about "rhetorical show stoppers", and on the other hand you reply to a statement I've made with the one word sentence, "False.", and in another sentence you say I'm "wrong on practically every account".

I guess I could point out that there lies, in a continuum of software, a place for experimental products which offer nothing other than the exploration of an idea and the opportunity to refine said idea through testing and discussion. I could also point out that your strawman of "sprinkle some crypto fairy dust" is entirely irrelevant to this conversation, and that your lack of understanding of how threat actors are modeled is evident in your inability to comprehend a tool that might protect against certain threats but can acceptably not protect against all threats.

But I think those points would fall on the "ears" of someone who just wants to be combative. Maybe someone else will pick up where you left off and engage in a more honest and less antagonizing manner, but this deep in the comment tree, "here be dragons".

I was using the simplified definition of the rapture that the parent poster was most likely referencing. I’m aware that different sects have different beliefs about what happens to nonbelievers. Still, the vast majority of Christians do not think that atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, or Scientologists will get into heaven.

Also the article you linked to does not contradict me:

> The rapture is an eschatological term used by certain Christians, particularly within branches of North American evangelicalism, referring to an end time event when all Christian believers—living and dead—will rise into Heaven and join Christ.

> On the surface level this absolutely does appear to fall under "Price Gouging during a crisis"

No, no, no, no, this is absurd. You can't sue energy markets for "price gouging" when spot prices shoot up. Do you sue your broker for price gouging when there is a price spike in a stock? What about wheat? If you don't want to be exposed to spot pricing, don't play in the spot markets.

This is why energy consumers are historically kept out of spot energy markets and instead get their energy from utilities. The utilities offer stable pricing but in exchange the long run price you pay is higher -- you are paying for that stability. The whole point of griddy is that instead of getting your power from a regulated utility which must get government approval of price hikes, you think you can do better by being charged market spot prices.

It's true that market pricing is usually below the fixed prices charged by utilities but at the same time you bear the risk of spikes.

Thus to call this "price gouging" is absurd as griddy does not choose prices administratively but passes on the spot price to their consumers. That's the whole point of griddy.

These people signed up to be exposed to the market price in order to be free of stable pricing, as administrative pricing is higher, on average, than volatile spot pricing.

They had no problem enjoying the cost savings when market prices were lower, but now they want to sue when market prices shot up? If you can't handle the volatility of spot markets, then don't sign up for services like griddy and go with regular utilities that have administrative pricing.

"we would never build a system that might “learn” that people whose destination is a hospital tend to be willing to pay higher fares"

I'm sorry, but wouldn't that exactly be the point of "surge pricing"? To allow people who REALLY need a ride to be able to pay a higher price and get where they need to be?

"Surge pricing" would kick in because of scarcity, as in, not enough rides available for everybody.

The person who needs to go to the hospital needs it more urgently than the person who wants to meet her friends at the pub, so she should be able to pay a higher price to get where she needs to be (the hospital).

The alternative is that she doesn't have the option of paying a higher price out of "ethical considerations", and has a high probability of not actually finding a ride to the hospital. How is that the better variant.

If you want to get all ethical about it, maybe you can set up a system where people get their money back if they can prove they needed to go to the hospital (or health insurance could cover it). But it is unlikely to cover all possible cases of urgency ("needed to flee from a terrorist attack", "needed to catch the love of my life before she marries somebody else" and so on)
. Much easier and more effective to regulate by market prices.

It seems to me yet another case of misguided socialist ideology causing harm in the real world.

An even more cynical interpretation would be that companies prioritize "looking good" over saving lives, so they rather implement the virtue signaling "no surges for hospital rides" than actually letting people catch their ride to the hospital.

If you are worried people might not be able to afford the ride to the hospital, you could give them credit.
Yes, that's one of their stated reasons (there are others). But it hasn't worked for a long very time - the net effect is well and truly negative by now.

My view:

Deliberately stoking massive asset price inflation and wealth inequality while preventing wage inflation is a major cause (along with offshoring) of the social and political tension across the developed world.

Our glorious central bankers (with a few honorable exceptions) still believe that this pursuit of the "wealth effect" is the right thing to do, and the benefits of their monetary diarrhoea will eventually trickle down to everyone. It's not happening and it won't happen.

Some governments are waking up and looking at unifying fiscal and monetary policy. Some are even directing where the credit goes. Frankly I think "independent" central banking exists today in name only, and may disappear within 10 years.

So prepare for inflation to return, to "surprise" everyone, and for our central banks to ignore it and keep suppressing rates right up to the bitter end. And when the rates do rise again, all the zombie firms, malinvestment, bezzles, and unpayable debts will float to the surface and we'll have a bigger version of 2008 to deal with. And a pensions crisis to follow.

It's a backdoor, but the title is misleading: this isn't about a persistent backdoor in the upstream openssh code, it's just a in-house patch/backdoor.

They are not talking about the official OpenSSH code.

To save everyone a bit of time (and hassle with a PDF), from the same document:

"It allows a public key to be embedded in the sshd binary and will then
always grant a root login shell if presented with the proper key pair
for that key. [...] authorized_keys as a quick-and-easy method of
persistence [...] obviously isn't very stealthy [...] The goal for this
project was to provide the same level of persistence but embedded in
the sshd binary itself (obviously, assuming root access, as before)"

In other works, no backdoor in sshd unless the system has already been
rooted by other means and sshd replaced with a bugged binary. Boohoo.

I think the point is that it's hard for Western civilization to understand the true hardships people face in other parts of the world, and the fact that they are killing animals for single body parts is absolutely absurd to us, but to them, it's a last resort for survival in a society that seems quite hopeless.

I don't think many of us know what we are capable of when it comes to actually trying to survive and provide for our young when there is little to no opportunity outside our front doors. We have computers in front of us where we type and complain online, but I can be honest with myself, and I'll be doing absolutely nothing with my day today to stop this from happening.
I'm not sure how common these are in an industrial setting nowadays, but back then all big electrical tooling would leak at least a little bit and if you hooked them up through ground fault interrupters those would trip all the time.

A typical lathe, mill, plasmacutter or welder (which that particular workshop was full of) would be in the 10KW range with peaks far in excess of that during start-up.

I don't remember if we had the office area (where I was working) on protected circuitry or not, that would have been an interesting bit of data. The building still exists, I'm almost tempted to go and have a look.

I agree with you. One needs a group of like-minded individuals who understand and agree on the core design goals, but who have individual say in what they implement. Nim isn't being designed with an inferior model, it is being designed with an inefficient model. With three or four core devs, the work goes 3-4 times faster (slight exaggeration of course). That means a language can become popular in 5 years instead of 15. This is why companies love teams so much. One that works well together is worth many developers who work well alone.
