I'm not the OP, and I think he makes a bad job at expressing his opinion being so confrontational and dismissive.

That being said I agree with his core point.

There is tons of things totally unacceptable in the US society that are just fine in other cultures, and US people tend to impose their moral view on other cultures.

One example that come back very often is Facebook "censorship" of "l'origine du monde": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/11461004/Face...
Chatter in BTC trading forums puts a $3000 price target as "doable" ;)

A couple other points: mining is exploding as well with the global GHash rate / Difficulty accelerating. I have not calculated an exact correlation between price and compute but it could be an indicator of "real" moves in the currency.

The truest indicator is of course price-action. During last summer and into the fall, before Beijing implemented capital controls, when you observed the depth of book on orders on BW, you'd notice that the vast majority of orders were for even lots of ~0.0100BTC. This was indicative of algorithmic market making. Very few orders were above 100BTC. Now it's the exact opposite. Large orders with fast fills are common. I wish I had some real data and actual stats on the order book during the run-up ;( as I believe it would make a good indicator as to whether the current move is sustainable...
Experimental evidence shows that it does work, in the sense that force is applied.

The question that remains is whether it works as the (crackpot?) inventor claims, or some other effect that we haven't quite figured out yet.
4 Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before You Implement Any Big Data Strategy
I never understand this viewpoint, I read the BBC for online news and the Telegraph at home, it's very easy to see which one is pro government/pro Tory.

The BBC is basically going to be gutted by the current government, I don't buy into this world where they're pro government, I find they're fairly neutral while a lot of the people criticising it are almost certainly anti Tory.
Some of the nuance has been lost in the media coverage. The National Geographic Society will still exist as a non-profit, but it is selling control of its media assets to Fox (and presumably would use the proceeds to fund its remaining charitable work).
also it looks like a german invoice so you are missing some informations (§ 14a UStG) especially some additional information (especially the USt.-Id Nr. on some cases, etc).

Same. Installed 23 yesterday but my god the fonts are horrible and I couldn't find a quick fix (and didn't have time to try and hack things in). Shame as Ubuntu Gnome looks great out of the box.

Also as someone very new to Fedora is there a crash course on DNF? Funny how lost I felt without apt-get.

Methinks Linus needs to be heeding his own words:

As a reviewer of code, please strive to keep things civil and focused on
the technical issues involved. We are all humans, and frustrations can
be high on both sides of the process. Try to keep in mind the immortal
words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."

People rarely tear down a church, churches in many places especially in Nordic countries where often the only "real" building in town as they were initially built by Lutheran missionaries you can see the same thing from very old pictures in Iceland you'll see a village with pretty much only turf(sod) buildings and then a more or less modern (for it's time) church.
IIRC the first masonry building in Iceland was a church, won't surprise me if in many of the more remote parts of Norway and Sweden that would be the case, unlike Iceland Norway and Sweden have had at least plenty of timber and didn't had to build houses out of patches of grass...
An argument over the semantics of the word "abuse" will be unproductive. It's just abusive in a technical sense.

I think on most well-managed teams in the US software industry, if you were a staff programmer, you could get away with a rant like this just once; you'd be warned, and if you did it again, you'd be dismissed.

Obviously, if you were the manager, you could rant like this as much as you wanted. But then that's the point, right? Even on a team managed by a raving asshole, if you were lower-status and tried to get away with a rant like this, you'd get in trouble.

I'm pretty sensitive to it because candidly it's a struggle for me not to be ranty like this particular Linus rant (thankfully, I am nowhere nearly as bad as the worst Linus rants) and I've had to work hard to suppress it.
RabbitIO: Unified authentication for PlayerIO
There's a fair bit missing. For now, the web client is read-only but we have full intention to make it able to edit, it just wasn't something we had time to do before the public beta.

The app also includes filling directly into webpages (via a browser extension) so you don't need to copy and paste. This also includes the ability to save new logins as you create accounts. Filling Credit Card and Address information as well.

Those are the two big features I think. The editing will show up on the web side but the filling part won't since it relies heavily on the client applications to do a great deal of the grunt work.

We're well aware of the demand for a Linux client though. I think all of us on the team would love to see a Linux client, but "love to see" isn't enough to make it happen right now.

I have most certainly written about this in my report I hope to send up the chain today so your voices aren't going unheard.

seems unsustainable to hope for better numbers. 3 million subscribers is a lot. The New Yorker is profitable at 1 million. Sure the National Geographic Society does more and its stories might cost more to get written, but it needs to go digital and expand the way other publications are if it wants better numbers.

At my company, we've set up our own Kubernetes cluster and moved our production applications over to it over the past couple months. While I definitely agree, there is a steep learning curve for getting Kubernetes set up and configured, there are several factually inaccurate things in this article.

> With Docker we were supposed not to have installation instructions (aside from a few docker run arguments). We were supposed to run containers. Swarm fulfils that promise and Kubernetes doesn’t.

We run Kubernetes on CoreOS and every piece runs in a container. On the master, the api-server, controller and scheduler all run in docker containers. On the minions, the proxy and kubelet both run in containers.

> Another thing I dislike about Kubernetes is its need to know things in advance, before the setup. You need to tell it the addresses of all your nodes, which role each of them has, how many minions there are in the cluster and so on.

The master does not need to know the these things. Minions do need to know the address of the master, but they can self-register with master and join the cluster anytime.

With that being said, it did take two of our senior devs over a week to get a cluster we were happy with. I'm a fan of docker compose, and hope swarm becomes a good competitor to Kubernetes. I don't think it's there yet though.
There's a big difference between sodium, which reacts vigorously with water and air, and salt, which you have on your dinner table.

Santa Susana was a sodium-cooled reactor, but a "molten salt reactor" uses salt. It's chemically inert and doesn't require pressurization.

The lesson a lot of people are going to learn from
this is, "Don't submit any code to Linux."

That's true, but not really a problem. Linux is one of the most popular open source projects out there.
I'm rather surprised to see Software Developer as the most common job in any state. I wonder what they consider to be software development. If you are a not an actual programmer but you work at a company who's only product is software, and you contribute to that product in ways other than writing code -- perhaps as a copywriter for e-learning software, or a graphic designer for a web app -- are they counting you as a software developer? Because while the software development industry is certainly very large now, the number of people actually writing code is not large enough in my experience to be the most common job anywhere.
There's indeed a paper showing that's roughly what's going on: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.69.2...

>Human perception and memory are often explained as optimal statistical inferences, informed by accurate prior probabilities. In contrast, cognitive judgments are usually
viewed as following error-prone heuristics, insensitive to priors. We examined the optimality of human cognition in a more realistic context than typical laboratory studies, asking people to make predictions about the duration or extent of everyday phenomena such as human life spans and the box-office take of movies. Our results suggest that
everyday cognitive judgments follow the same optimal statistical principles as perception and memory, and reveal a close correspondence between people’s implicit probabilistic models and the statistics of the world.
Two figures which stand out for me are:

(1) The disappearance of factory jobs (machine operator, assembler of electrical equipment). The overseas flight of US manufacturing as a consequence of free trade agreements is real; the causes, consequences, and whether it's good or bad is a topic for another post.

(2) How common truck drivers are. I realized some years ago that it's one of the few jobs left that lets people earn a decent income without much education. Also, the job is a prime candidate to be replaced by automation (self driving vehicles) and the economic displacement of all sorts of driving jobs could possibly lead to social/political turmoil.
no, it's just you keep putting words in my mouth. as i already said above, which you fail to read for the second time - i did not offer it as THE black-and-white explanation. i merely pointed out that going for the retard explanation is insufficient - as you yourself have said, they could just be evil :) so why are you fuming? we seem to actually agree. jeez.

and the reason i asked the "do you realize" question is because we were talking here about rationalism and it's limits. i'm in a kind of mildly anti-rationalism position, and you attack me, all emotional. so i thought, this is kinda funny. get it?

edit - and now, in an edit, you suddenly join the discussion... i'll have to get back to you later.
The wildlift, historical and other such scenes are reuseable and repackageable to an extreme. That is, they are still relevant 30 years from when they are filmed. That makes those assets quite valuable over the long run as you can continuously extract fees from licensing. Compare that to tv shows and even reality tv which quickly become dated and have a short shelf life.

The funny thing was that African tribesmen refusing to talk about things they've never seen before was actually some pretty clear thinking on the part of the Africans, confronting very confused thinking on the part of the anthropologists.
The deal has been announced but it hasn't actually been completed yet. Though obviously the layoffs are part of the process before the sale is final.

News reports very frequently treat deals that have been announced as complete long before they are finalized, even if government approval is not guaranteed (e.g., some of the early coverage of the proposed Comcast-TWC merger said "Comcast has bought...").
I'd go even further - kernel development isn't just 'not for everyone', it's for very few. Relatively speaking, how many people are competent enough to contribute to the kernel? Those that even make the attempt are doing so voluntarily - if the reward from that is to be entreated with a hyperbolic rant, why would they bother going any further?

Funny anecdote for compiler researchers.

Niklaus Wirth did write many of his compilers in the original language (kind of).

He would write down on paper the code, using the bootstrap version 0 code style, as it was supposed to be.

Then he would manually translate that code into Assembly.

So when the compiler for the basic language was working, he could use the same code again, without additional efforts and relying on third party languages.

Specially important back in the day where each computer system had its own systems programming language or dialect of an existing one.
Right now most trailers are secured with either a simple padlock or a metal ribbon with a unique number stamped on it (so if it is cut, the person signing off will know).
Ah, fond memories of playing with candles. Make enough "wick" of thin metal wire, and at some point the flame will boil off gases from the candle/pool of melting paraffin wax. At this point, cheap glassware will likely crack from the heat -- spilling hot wax over the table, likely igniting it - best advice is to quench the flame before it gets to that. Or so I've heard.
No, it is not the same. Einstein proposed a theory which was largely consistent with our experimental evidence in support of Newtonian mechanics. It also agreed with recent experiments which would not find an aether. Relativity made predictions about the orbit of Mercury that were more consistent with the data than orbits predicted by Newtonian mechanics.

In this instance, we have a device which is proposed to work by means that violate basic laws of conservation. There is no accompanying theory for why that is. It has been tested by several groups, and as these groups improve their testing methodology, the resultant "thrust" decreases. That is not promising. If the effect under test decreases as experimental rigor goes up, then the default assumption should be there is probably nothing there.
In the last 5 years we've experimented with Linux on top of hyper-v a few times.

The basic I/O, compile & runtime performance was significantly inferior to xen & kvm (didn't bench against vmware, phasing it out due to cost), it wasn't worth any effort to even deploy apps for testing.

Therefore I don't see Linux on hyper-v being a compelling option for the cost conscientious technical officer or lead engineer.

I'm personally of the opinion that people who spout such nonsense are perfectly aware that it's nonsense; they're simply trying to appeal to the radicals: the vocal, irrational minority.

The reason to do so is also perfectly rational - they're easier to get to the voting booths to vote for your candidate with such rhetoric. The moderates, who are unswayed (yet annoyed) by such rhetoric are more likely to be the ones who do not show up at the voting table, because they see the rhetoric from both sides as equally reprehensible, and will either not vote at all (in my case, due to the futility of voting in the US's current two party system), or vote for a third party (making their vote equally irrelevant as if they hadn't voted at all).

So, both sides appeal to those folks who are so easily swayed by irrational comments which make them feel superior to "those dirty left/right-wingers", and the result is power (government positions) and money (PACs, lobbyists, donations).

A quick video of Rumsfeld saying it reveals this was the case.
This info graphic shows more the specialization of the workforce, or at least of titles, between 1978 and 2014. I'm ready to bet there's almost the same percentage of truck drivers in 1978 compared to today, it's just that people who would have been 'just' secretaries have split into marketing assistants, HR workers, accounts receivable, sales people, etc, and the total number of white collar workers hasn't changed that much. However, a truck driver is a truck driver is a truck driver, let it be a dump truck, a big rig, a van or whatever.

Sucks for farmers, tho.
the US government is a big one.
So which is it? Does ranting have a huge impact that keeps people out, or does it "not have the power"?
And if it's powerless, why are you so eager to censor it, then?

Also, why don't you keep in your lane and only oppress the Go community with your code of conduct? There's no need to also invade Linux.

Shops that actually want the support that Redhat provides, otherwise they would probably use Debian or Centos.

I would assume Redhat-required shops would be running some pretty heavy, sophisticated workloads.
I think it's more due to the volume of ancient systems out there that do not & will not support added security measures.

Visa 3d secure is popular now though.
The history of science is littered with prestigious people who "knew" that an idea was not worth experimenting with, so they did not while justifying it with their definitive statements. It is also littered with not so prestigious people that didn't "know" that the idea was not worth experimenting with and they found something interesting, whether it relates to the initial subject of the experiment or not. Those people were crackpots until they were not, it's been the way of science for a long time.
Most crackpots aren't in the field. The problem is that woking in physics requires an enormous amount of training, but some people are convinced they can contribute without that training.
It is worrying when a private company has access to this sort of information.

It is urgently alarming when a government has access to that same information.

Governments have a long, proven history of abusing that information in ways that result in undermining of democracy, immoral imprisonment of political opponents, mass murder and genocide, and other niceties.

Governments should be afraid of the people, not the other way around.
In the UK, many online retailers have actually implemented 2-factor authentication for online orders. So when I order something from a UK website using my UK card, it brings me to my bank's website where I have to either type in random characters from my password, or I am presented with a list of transaction and I have to pick ones that I recognize(most of the list is bogus).

Obviously it doesn't solve the issue of someone using my card on a foreign website.

When you remove a user from a team (or even a vault) the vault or team is effectively removed from the user's computer. The account will still "exist" in the preferences but it'll be suspended and their only option is to delete the account or have the admin restore the account.

Given the nature of passwords, if you've removed someone from the team you'll still want to change passwords for any items they have had access to if that's a concern.

Does that help answer your question? I'm happy to give you more information if you have more questions or if I somehow misunderstood your question. Just let me know!

The interesting part was that from what I recall there were a couple of quarters where Microsoft's sales force sold more Novell licenses than their own sales force.
Your post has brought back so many memories - the slot 1 connector, the LS-120s, the 440BX chipset.. but what especially the voodoo 5! I laugh every time I think of that card.
Nice find -thank you :)

Though I'm somewhat wary about buying potentially life critical systems from AliExpress -especially when I have no idea how I'd go about testing, never-mind certifying it :)
I don't see anywhere in the bill what EXACTLY an Internet Connection Record is, and since there is no such thing as a standard Internet Connection Record in any of our existing network infrastructure, I assume this has been left vague so that it can be extended to whatever they want.

Nor does it define the exact kind of Internet Service Provider that the law is suppose to be enforced against. (Is this only suppose to apply to those supplying bandwidth or do all websites/services count?).

> Law enforcement agencies would not be able to make a request for the purpose of determining – for example – whether someone had visited a mental health website, a medical website or even a news website.

This seems to imply that there must be a whitelist of domains for which ICR collection is required. But there is no mention of such a list nor how it would be curated.
I think the other extreme of elitist intellectuals has exactly the same problem; the understand that people have different mind-designs, but thats because their minds are wrong.
> People do not get addicted to non-narcotic adulterants and become prostitutes. A cutting agent like caffeine or sugar is probably the safest ingredient...

The biggest physical danger of heroin use is the risk of overdose. The main reason people overdose is because of the adulterants - they don't know how potent the stuff is. x mg of batch A might be a good high, whereash x mg of batch B will kill you from an overdose.

Even if the adulterants are themselves safe, the presence of them is a risk to the users, because they make it impossible to determine dosage.
This isn't your run of the mill jailbreak, this is a proven remote jailbreak that can be automatically triggered by either visiting a website, receiving an SMS or by triggering any of the built in application "magnet links" to qualify for the bounty the exploit most also be interaction free so no interaction other than opening an SMS or clicking on a link is required. So effectively this is a remote code execution exploit that allows you to remotely bypass any restrictions and protections provided by the IOS OS and take full control over the device.

You'll probably still see local jailbreaks, that require you to connect the IOS device to a computer and launch the exploits from there manually, Pangu has updated their jailbreak to support IOS 9.0.X already.
