What, just because he's suggesting to use curl to download a file?

There's a difference between "curl ... | sh -" and this.

He's even separated it nicely into steps, so you can view that (very short) file in between.

What worries me more is that he doesn't properly quote $@, so this script will break when there are spaces in the filename. One of the reasons I hate bash.

> a strictly deterministic build (no timestamps

In some environments, you really need a timestamp, otherwise your code
will be treated as untrusted/unsigned by the OS after the signing
certificate expires.

This for instance applies to X509-signed code and EXE-files on Windows.

Does this mean that if you want reproducable builds, you have to use a
signing-certificate valid looong into the future? Are there any other
ways? Are there any downsides?

Anyone have opinions or experience here?

The easiest way is to try to look for confirmation or a denial of what you just saw. But in the given example all you have is a few minutes of video footage which doesn't give you any context. So in a documentary, you would expect those people rejecting water to explain why they are rejecting it, while in that video all you have is the images without any context. That's obvious, I'd say. Now, given this, you would be surprised by what people might say they are doing what they are doing, as shocking and uncomprehensible as it might seem in a video.

For example, I was having a lot of questions about the situation in Calais, France, why would there be people looking to risk their lifes to go from France to England? Seeing a couple of documentaries on this situations with interviews with some of the people there, I got a completely new insight into what's happening there.

this happens when emotions take over rational thinking and decision process. as non-american, and apologies upfront to our US friends, whole WTC was more like 'meh', just another ugly day, what's the big deal... no reason to prefer some clerks over some other kids/women hacked with machetes, smashed by earthquake or other tragedies happening left and right. Manmade or not, not a big difference

But when emotions kick in, when YOU feel YOU are attacked (and those are some powerful emotions!), proportions change, and you just want to nuke 'em to hell, twice. I think I react in similar way in... +- similar situations (more personal ones rather than attack on the nation). Sad story that whole USA got swayed into blind acceptance of any security measure to stop that ugly terrorist

What unexplained event, potentially terrorist, catalyzed the US engagement in the Spanish—American war?

Similar sorts of geopolitical consequences, similar timescale... the ease with which you recall the event is likely similar to the ease with which inhabitants of the US in 2115 will recall September 11.
Banks don't work the way you think, at least in the US. ACH transfers are slow (take a few days to complete), and often expensive. Up until 5 days later, they can be reversed even after both banks agree that they've happend if the sender decides that the payment was "erroneous."

The government can and does impose "some vague policy" on what you can and can't do with your money. If they decide that you have been "structuring" your payments to avoid triggering various reports being generated, that is considered a crime. So making several payments of 9,000 might be illegal even if you've done nothing wrong (you should have done 11,000 so that all the reports could be generated, didn't you know?)

Oh and by the way people can just take money from your account via ACH transfer if they have the correct numbers. You won't get any kind of confirmation, the bank just assumes that nobody would be unwise enough to make an ACH transfer without the consent of the other party. The US generally believes in insecure infrastructure and the 500-pound surveillance and police gorilla to keep everyone in line. It works surprisingly well, to be honest.

The Blessed Margaret is still very controversial here in the UK, to say the least.

I hate such things. It creates a terrible work environment. Instead of focusing on the git blame and git punish, everyone should just focus on git commit fixes to make the code work. Does it really matter who put the bug? We are all humans, we all make mistakes.
I swear sometimes we need to step back and think about things from a general consumer perspective and not one of the analytical early adopter.

Most people wouldn't remember a number like a checking account number nor do they carry checks around with them. Venmo is simple and easy for them to send money to friends without having to log into a bank's shoddily designed website and figuring out how to transfer funds which is probably non-obvious in the first place.
Except terrorism doesn't instill terror, as proven by the terrorism in the previous century, when we just defiantly went about our business the same as before. And I say "defiantly", but it doesn't take much bravery if you know that the odds of being blown up by terrorists are so much smaller than having an accident during your daily commute.

The government and the media are the ones that leverage terrorism to instill terror.

Terrorism as a tactic in itself is a proven failure. It requires the support of media and government to have any impact.

Which makes the conspiracy theories of our own governments deliberately encouraging terrorism quite realistic.

Especially given that it has happened before (CCC, Gladio, etcetera). Western governments have never shied away for faking or aiding terrorism, it's remarkable that we keep referring to this as tin foil hattery despite a) the long track record and b) the simple fact that they are the only ones who profit from it.

Huh. So what happens (is supposed to happen) to merchants in the event of a chargeback?

* Paypal purportedly credits sellers if the seller proves they shipped / sold something [1]

* Square does not necessarily credit sellers and may pull funds from a bank account [1]. (May have changed since the article?)

* Visa protects merchants from fraud-related chargebacks if the online sale is "verified by Visa"[2]; if not, the merchant may have to suffer the loss. In particular, if the card was physically present, the merchant seems to lose if they screw up any of the little details in the charging process.

* Amazon protects merchants if the transaction occurred according to their policy and the merchant can prove they shipped goods or delivered a service [3]. I imagine if you embed Amazon Payments into your site as it's intended and sell legal stuff, you're fully covered against fraudulent buyers.

So it looks like Venmo (and likely Snapcash) are unique in offering such little fraud protection. Probably due to how their User Agreement works (i.e. they're not meant for merchant selling at all). Also why they can offer no-charge transfer services.

What's probably happened here is that these new services lack regulation and thus have no requirement or incentive to inform users about the consequences of chargebacks. I hate to say we need more regulation, but for Eran Kimchi (Venmo head of fraud) to say "You made an innocent mistake, and you paid for it" is not an acceptable outcome; Venmo is definitely guilty of negligence here.

Don't make the mistake of assuming that just because people disagree with your unfounded claim of the supposed "god-complex", it means they believe Kalanick is just trying to a public service. Your post paints a false dichotomy.

It's worth bearing in mind that not all flood myths are necessarily about rises in sea level. Extreme seasonal flooding is another possibility, especially for a population relatively new to an area occasionally prone to it, as is new lake formation or existing lakes bursting through a natural dam.

> It's not going to give you the absolute maximum performance (meaning it's not appropriate for a decent class of program - then again, I suspect Go isn't either), but it's not terrible either.

Yeah, this matches our results when we did similar tests. It's definitely faster to use green threads if you're just spawning and shutting down the threads, but if you're actually doing I/O work on those threads, the overhead quickly drops down.

It's not the fastest way to do I/O, but Go's approach isn't either. The fastest way to do I/O is to forego the thread management syscalls and the stack, like nginx does.

The parent comment reflects a common misconception about Buddhism. In reality, it's not at all a religion in the traditional sense -- there is no "god" of Buddhism to believe in, and there is no concept of "faith" as a virtue. It's easy to practice Buddhism from a purely scientific mindset.

Basically, Buddhism is a personal experimental science, where through repeated introspection you attempt to probe the nature of consciousness -- i.e. meditation and reflection. As I understand it, Buddhism is about understanding reality as it is (not as we might like it to be, i.e. eternal life/soul/etc.) -- it's a very pragmatic approach.

There is a certain amount of "woo woo" that sometimes gets mixed in with Buddhism, because it draws in a "new age" crowd -- but there is no conflict between being secular/atheist and practicing Buddhism. For example, Sam Harris is a vocal atheist but also a Buddhist -- see his very nice book "Waking Up."

I was of the understanding that a flood about 7k years ago did happen and that was pretty accepted.

We have the Mayans, bible, and number of flood 'myths' stories. I also believe that there is rock sediment that also backs up this claim that there was heavy flooding around this time frame.

However this does not appear to be global flooding because the Egyptian who have a good documented history never bring it up and I really feel they would have.

My guess is that this flood was when low level lands got submerged, thinking the med base here (which I think lines up with the bible of things well) and low level South America which would line up with the Mayans creation stories. This would also back up my idea that most of civilizations over time have built near water and this is why I believe most of the impressive civilizations will be underwater now as the water levels have been raising. (personally very excited about some of the stuff we are finding underwater these days)

The issue is there is so little research on water levels, and most of the documented stuff is from the coast of the USA rather than a global effort to document it. Keep hoping that someone will build some drones that can just fly around and measure this stuff

Indeed, but this is a different thing entirely. Getting a perspective to a problem and working together to fix it is one thing, going and pointing fingers, even in playful manner, is different. In the long run, it creates an unpleasant work environment.

In our office, I always take the blame jokingly to lighten the mood. It's a running gag, we have three people who are more senior than the others, and we always say "it's his fault, and if not, it's the other one and if not, then it's Leo's fault" (I am the most senior).

> Hungary has responded with policies (detaining refugees, also working on laws to allow police violence against illegal border crossings) that are likely not compatible with international law and I can imagine a EU court will convict them in a few months. Unfortunately, the refugees will be the victim of this in the meantime.

The issue here is hard to define who refugee and who is not. There are offices at the major border towns where refugees can register. They show their paper, give fingerprint (which is mandatory for Hungarian citizens as well to receive a passport). The issue is as a British (ITV) reporter tweeted: https://twitter.com/jamesmatesitv/status/639703633794351104 is some of the refugees are "interested in" wealthy countries only, so they refuse to register in Hungary. There are laws and international agreements that binds the border countries to behave like Hungary.

Also "police violence" means you are referring to is the European way of police violence: web and in worst case tear gas and water cannon.
