I recently discovered shuf since I needed to shuffle a fairly large number of URL's in a file to allow multiple processes to work through them in parallel (yes I could have actually done this using a queue and a producer/consumer, but this was a one time deal so it was faster to just throw a bit more hardware at it). What I was amazed by is that it took 'cat urls.txt | shuf > new-urls.txt' just about a second to complete even thoug the original file was about 1GB. How does it work so incredibly fast?

This is not a good time investment for children, given that not all of them will drive. Especially, considering that driverless cars are coming soon.

I have a VPS for sending, it is set up as a smarthost to relay from my internal mail server. It is included the SPF record for my domains along with MX records. I receive on my firewall at home, that host is what the MX record points at.

It is very easy to set up.

The full setup for inbound mail is -
OpenBSD spamd (greylisting) -> internal postfix

Outbound is -
internal postfix -> VPS postfix

It seems that we can give money to those in need, and see a "return" on that money in terms of increased employment and generation of value. Sounds like an investment to me.

The government is the unique position; they are able to realize a gain on this via income tax revenue. Maybe this can be done via basic income? Could we pass a basic income bill as an "investment in America" and is there a model where the government actually makes a return on this investment?

Yeah, that's not going to happen. Even if such a system was built and opened up to the public, people would use it to do things like stalk exes, plan and execute crimes, and just generally be nosey and annoying.
It isn't about dignity of the job. It is about health insurance and living wages.
Exactly. I would add though that it can be a customer problem too. For instance, when customers order from Amazon, they expect an order confirmation, and generally find it helpful. Likewise, if customers need to reset passwords, etc.

In fact, we learned of the problem when customers suddenly began to complain that they weren't receiving their password reset emails from us.
As far as growth being stronger with higher tax rates, I assume you're talking about post ww2 era? If so, then I think that was probably more to do with the fact that the rest of the world was destroyed rather than due to our tax code.

And it was a short lived thing, by the mid-late '50s things were sputtering, and the top tax rate was 91% ("We like Ike?"). JFK-LBJ reduced that to 77% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_Act_of_1964) to great economic effects (unfortunately, the increased tax revenues were not so much that LBJ couldn't do a guns and butter budget that almost bankrupted the nation, leading to a decade and a half of malaise).

I haven't seen a lot of "drones" that weren't being teleoperated at the level of aerodynamic controls. The ones that aren't ([1] is a good example) fly low enough that they wouldn't be visible to ATC in the first place [2]. And the humans may not be quite as in-control as you think; I can't find it, but there was a link off Reddit last week that said that pilots in commercial airliners are so infrequently in control of the airplane that they're starting to forget how to fly their planes.

I don't think so. Even if you never submit a sample, your bother could, and then they could get a match that tells them the DNA is from a sibling of your brother. It wouldn't finger you, exactly, but it would get them very close.
This is a good point - it seems not improbably that a whale's view of place would have more to do with their location in an oceanic current rather than their x, y coordinate in a plane. Sort of like if you describe your position within a car on a highway - you most naturally would say "im in the fast lane between shelbyville and springfield" rather than "i'm at lat/lng such-and-such"

So to attempt to find correlations with the whale's absolute position may (who knows!?) be looking for a signal the whale isn't sending.
The only way you're getting 3-500MB/s on a 4-disk ZFS RAID5/raidz is with very, very fast SSDs and a very, very fast CPU. Not exactly "very cheap". (The compute and I/O overhead for raidz is significant.)
"It's discriminatory. It doesn't treat people fairly under the law."

"Fairly" is begging the question.

"Discriminatory" isn't necessarily a bad thing, and needs to be further refined if it's going to be meaningful. Progressive taxation (in isolation) does not discriminate between people. It discriminates between dollars. My first dollar is taxed the same as your first dollar; my ten thousandth dollar is taxed the same as your ten thousandth dollar; my millionth dollar is taxed the same as your millionth dollar. It is true that my millionth dollar is taxed differently from my first dollar, and that is discrimination between dollars, but generally people don't hold "equal treatment of dollars" as a moral principle.

"I can't imagine the arrogance necessary to think that you know how much to tax a certain segment of society relative to another."

Roughly the same arrogance necessary to think you know how much to tax in the first place, or really any other decision making on that level.

That's seriously, seriously easier said than done in about 10% of cases that this sort of thing comes up. Especially when dealing with awful vendor code.

What about an application that takes an arbitrary date as input? Keep in mind that we're talking about production-leven infrastructures with many potentially many thousands of servers that might have 10 different distros with many thousands of differences between each machine, so falling back to "Just install X" isn't a possibility.

Then again, there's something to be said for vetting an application/script for prod-use on its "cronability". I don't think that's the point you were going for, though.

I can say quite confidently that the same people who are proposing such tax increases also support cutting the military budget. (Almost) never in government is there a single action that can be done to make demonstrable difference.
It is not true that raising taxes on investment gains disincentives investment.

If you start taxing investments more, it's not like the rich will suddenly stop investing. You should hear Warren Buffet talk about this. No rich person is going to go like "Well... I could make money on this, but not going to do it because the state is going to tax it..." This is something that happens only in abstract economic models, not in the real world.

In fact, if you raise taxes rich people may be incentivized to work harder to find better investments with higher gains.

There's several types of "errors" here: (1) failing to help a person in need, (2) trying to help a person in need and failing, or (3) trying to help a person and instead enabling destructive behaviors.

Different people weight these two errors differently. Some people think it's really terrible to fail to help an honest person in need, but don't care as much about the cost of enabling a self-destructive person. Others don't care much about (1), and would in fact not help a single person rather than let (3) happen once.

Public policy needs to be informed both by the available interventions, (i.e. give cash, give cash only after a drug test, give treatment after a failed drug test, then cash after completion, etc.)

Unfortunately the 'loss function' of the different types of errors is what really gums up most honest debate on these issues. A lot of these are evaluated on moral principles more than economic costs, which further complicates the story. I disagree with them, but there's a lot of people that think there should be harsh penalties in the world for using drugs, no matter the societal costs. Or that giving anybody a handout from taxpayer money is wrong, even if it ends up saving taxpayer money in the future.

Right, so "don't do that." There isn't a clear standard for what subject to accept, out of the two options. The obvious correct one is to check for google.com, even if you're talking to a server named mx.google.com -- just as you don't trust CNAMEs and you check the original name, don't trust MXes either. It's just that most people don't have those certs configured in their mail servers, so doing that check today would lead to widespread failures and it's a bad default.

Postfix, for instance, lets you configure what it checks via the "smtp_tls_verify_cert_match" option. If you set it to "nexthop", it'll require google.com. The default, "hostname", will check against mx.evil.com.

Type Systems, Contract Systems, and IFC are three terms that I think are hard to distinguish using lay language.

Perhaps what you're pointing out is that there are many dynamic and static ways to verify assertions about programs? Certainly.

When programmers talk about "type systems" I think they tend to mean a static, sound, computable approach to verifying assertions about programs.

JIF is a _type system_, albeit not a unification-based one like ML. Moreover, the situations the GP is discussing seem like things that don't need the powerful type system of JIF. Something like ML could handle those situations with ease.

I think contract often takes one of two meanings among non-researchers. Either people are referring to assertions that are dynamically checked or they're referring to very expressive assertions (regardless of when they're checked).

These are all different ways of proving statements about programs.
how do they expect to enforce this?
That's $15 a year that some people can't, won't or haven't paid before. If someone decides later on that they wish to do so, they have to set up forwarding and try and convince contacts to use the new e-mail address instead.

I've lived in housing far worse, in terms of material living conditions, than what I'm proposing. I'll happily do it again, most likely next Jan.

The main problem you describe (people committing gang rapes) is a problem with the people rather than the environment. Folks aren't materially deprived, they are just bad people. Now consider these folks: http://www.zostel.com/media/photo/Jaipur_Zostel_Common_Room_... Suddenly, materially worse living conditions don't seem so bad. Instead of "gray government housing devoid of life or joy", it's a fun youth hostel.

(In contrast, my experience staying in real poverty (aka a nice building in an average Maharashtran village) was far less fun. The lack of mosquito netting, power, internet and running water made life quite unpleasant.)

To me, the saddest thing about George was that he seems to have merely existed, while he was alive. From the article, he didn't seem to have any passions or ambitions. He didn't seem to want to go and see things, experience things, do things. He died in the same apartment, he was born in. He didn't really live, he just was, completely passive, until he wasn't.

At least that is the impression I got from reading this.
And... were they wrong?
Damn, that's a stone cold divergence based on priorities. I think asking a "label" versus an "artist" might yield different results, depending on priorities. Nice food for thought on that logic tree.

No rich person is going to go like "Well... I could make money on this, but not going to do it because the state is going to tax it..."

Utter bullshit, which has been reflected in actual US investment history since the Capital Strike of 1937. The perception of fairness goes both ways, you know.

Not to mention reflected in my father's (and others') economic behavior as the Reagan tax rate cuts took effect, and they put much less effort into sheltering income from very high tax rates (generally, something with a net vector sum of zero) and focused more on just, you know, running good businesses.

Then there's the minor detail that a tax increase can turn a profitable investment into a loss. The constant chaos of changing tax rates, or at least serious proposals to do so, also changes the nature of investments, for example favoring quick gains before the government might ruin it.
World Solar Challenge
An increased tax rate absolutely affects investment behavior. A wealthy person is going to evaluate whatever tax-advantaged investments there are and make a decision based on that. As long as a the US has a ridiculously complicated tax code, individuals with the means will find loopholes around targeted taxes.

I have been running exim4 for years, but I'm in the process of moving to postfix, as postfix is considerably easier to set up all the DKIM, etc., machinery that is now required. Inbound email comes through procmail and is mainly read in emacs (mh-e), which is kind of old fashioned. I have a small script that makes a new email address within my domain for each new use. I sign up for a lot of mailing lists and groups, and my /etc/aliases is more than 5300 lines. I can track if domainA's address starts coming from domainB and disable that address, but that doesn't happen very often, which is a pleasant surprise.

I also have a small script that puts a new sender on my whitelist of sender email addresses. My whitelist is 12000+ lines right now, collected over many years. Procmail sorts to mailing lists and vendor folders, and finally puts things that are not on the whitelist into a "possible spam" folder. From the five or ten items a day, it is easy to spot legitimate emails and I add those to the whitelist. The majority of spam is blocked by the combination of greylisting and DNSBL lists, as the delay of greylisting (ten minutes for me) is enough for them to make the blackhole list, if they happen to ever attempt delivery again.

I was thinking recently that I should be collecting statistics on the use of a lot of those aliases and whitelisted emails, and maybe start garbage collecting my lists.

There are various reputation reports and services that can tell you how your mail is doing in the major ISPs, but a lot of those require higher traffic than a personal or small business generates. There is one service, DMARC[1], that is free and can give you some visibility into how email from your domain is being processed. I put the txt record in my DNS, and Google, Facebook, Comcast, Yahoo, Fastmail, and a few others send me reports about email they have processed from my domain. It's not that interesting at the moment because things are working, but it might help to debug issues if your email was being rejected. At least I see a few spammers are trying to use my domain from their servers.

What would be the implications of such a society? Just because someone is needed and wanted does not neccesarily mean that they feel fulfilled. These "dumb" technical advances do alleviate the need for people. However, they do so with tasks or jobs that are often repetitive and mindless. Sure, more complex occupations don't ensure fulfillment, but they engage the mind in a way that it's arguably easier to find fulfillment. In this way this technology moves us forward to a society where we purse roles that optimize our sense of fulfillment.
But, there are caveats to this as it assumes that everyone can find a form of income with their own set of circumstances. Technology empowers, but who and how we empower is the puzzle we need to solve.
The "X is freer than Y" example is only superficially subjective. The issue at hand is that people disagree on what "free" means. This can be resolved in a mutually agreeable way by first clarifying the different possible aspects of freeness and clearly separating them out (in your example, one might state them as: BSD allows you to do more things than GPL with source code you receive under the respective license; GPL makes it likelier for you to receive more source code in the future, hence leading to a larger total number of potential actions you can do with source code over time (a point which requires a sub-tree of arguments)).

Then you further need to relate those back to the original statement by clarifying how different subjective target functions will have you come to a different final conclusion. (Not to mention that the "GPL is freer than BSD" or vice versa discussion is itself merely a sub-part of the larger "GPL is better than BSD (for my purpose)" or vice versa discussion.)

So my point is that it is possible in principle to provide a fully qualified link to a non-subjective presentation of arguments on that particular issue (and any other issue). I agree with you that the real challenge is UI, and probably moderation more than user education.
I doubt IP/TCP offloading even makes that big of a difference, if SIMD (SSE2+ or AVX2+) can be used. A single CPU core is probably capable of TCP checksumming more than 100 Gbps.

Of course it's a completely another story without SIMD. A naive traditional checksum loop with a register dependency stall is just not going to be fast.
