Unikernels are about security by auditability, mostly. Where containers have all of the security problems of two layers of operating systems and a container daemon and a complete OS kernel (before you even get to a hypervisor), unikernels are just your app and the drivers it needs sitting on the hypervisor. Or even on bare metal.

It's a fairly different philosophy—I don't think anyone really cares about the performance aspect of it (those people care more about getting zero-copy low-level IO in userland while still reaping the "control-plane" benefits of having an OS, using e.g. Snabb Switch.)

It's more like the philosophy behind Erlang releases or black-box "appliance" VMs. Which is, basically, that you don't maintain "the OS" as a thing separate from your app; you just maintain "your app", and any bits of OS are basically part of the vendored deps of each successive app release.

> We literally dropped letters from the English alphabet due (in part) to this problem.[0]

Going by your link, there was no technological difficulty at all with printing thorns. Rather, what happened was that England imported type rather than manufacturing it, and foreign type didn't include English-specific letters.

> the substitution of Y for thorn soon became ubiquitous, leading to the common 'ye', as in 'Ye Olde Curiositie Shoppe'. One major reason for this was that Y existed in the printer's type fonts that were imported from Germany or Italy, while thorn did not.

Fair points. Though I might quibble about the first one: most people, and many judges, would say that the executive order was a first amendment violation. But technically it's a separation of powers problem. Which itself is only implicitly, rather than explicitly, in the Constitution.

Political Firm's Intelligence Was a Little Too Good
Actually, ISIS/Daesh quite clearly DOES reflect "a quite textual interpretation of Islam", as you put it - and that's the problem.

This is why Islam can never be subject to a meaningful "reformation": unlike Christianity, where Sola Scriptura dragged the church back onto a MORE peaceful, tolerant (after a time) and LESS abusive path, applying a "back to the scriptures" approach to Islam strengthens the "radicals and extremists", because the false prophet of the Koran* makes it quite clear that killing infidels is both good and necessary. It is, in fact, the highest good, and grants the Jihadist instant admission to paradise regardless of any previous sins. (*Mohammed was right about one thing: he was most certainly possessed by Satan when he wrote the Koran - not just the Satanic verses, but all of it, in its entirety...)

I put almost all of my savings into total stock market index funds. I use Vanguard so the expense ratio is 0.05%. Dividends are automatically reinvested so I don't have to worry about that -- from my perspective dividends look no different than the fund's value going up.

Here are some resources that explain why to do this and how:

There are endless ways to diversify. For example, my portfolio is "diversified" across all stocks. But the entire stock market goes up and down, so some people diversify by putting a percentage of their savings in something else, like bonds or money market funds. These tend to have lower historical average returns than the stock market, but they won't necessarily go up and down at the same time so your savings will not fluctuate as much.

The bigger issue to my mind is that Congress has, and routinely skirts the issue by implementing through regulatory agency rule-making that has the effective force of law but without requiring such a law to be actually made

Why is this an issue? Agencies only get their mandates from laws enacted by congress, their rulings can still be challenged in court, and they often have been, though the FCC one is permissible because Congress is apparently allowed to restrict indecent material when there is a reasonable chance children could see it.

Agencies are a critical component of a functioning democracy, because there is no way Congress could have the time or the expertise to pass a new law for every decision an agency makes, of which there would be tens of thousands.

> letters are linked ... get right.

That whole section applies equally well to many written forms of English. I'm not an expert but I think modern Latin "print" forms (i.e., the only forms an increasing number of Anglophones can read or write, aside from very similar modern italic) are as much a product of the limitations of the printing press as anything. Look at the archaic forms of the letter /s/ for a start.
> the letters are exactly the same. The change is caused by adding an accent above or below the letter

This is a pretty myopic view of what's significant in writing. Why are you calling the consonant a "letter" and the vowel an "accent"? Would you apply the same rigorous distinction to é, which is a full letter (specifically Latin Small Letter E with Acute, U+00E9), vs é, which is a letter e with a combining accent above?
> This is why Islam can never be subject to a meaningful "reformation": unlike Christianity, where Sola Scriptura dragged the church back onto a MORE peaceful, tolerant (after a time) and LESS abusive path

I don't think that there is any plausible argument that "Sola Scriptura" did that (the Protestant Reformation may ultimately have, but not so much because of its theology -- and certain not the particular doctrine of Sola Scriptura, but by triggering a series of international and civil wars which in the long term forced governments to give up most direct enforcement of sectarian religious rules, even if they retained an established church, in order to maintain civil order.)

Not surprised. Had a terrible experience with FlightCar. They didn't damage my car but I rented one. Arrived at the airport after a 13 hour flight, went to FlightCar, they said the car I was supposed to rent didn't come in. Told me they would refund me, reimburse me for a rental but in the end, they didn't reimburse me. Will never use them again.

This is seems to be quite hampered by only including references that are found in the arXiv. Two of my papers from grad school are surrounded by papers that have very little to do with them. My three papers that are on the arXiv are very spread out, with the distance between two of them being ~90% of the map height and the third somewhere in the middle. They are all in physics, but very focused on experiment and apparatus. I think that physics theory (vs. experiment) is over-represented on the arXiv and connections to theory papers are much more influential on the map. It would be interesting to redo this with a database like http://adsabs.harvard.edu/, which doesn't depend on author self-selection.

> The bigger issue to my mind is that Congress has, and routinely skirts the issue by implementing through regulatory agency rule-making that has the effective force of law but without requiring such a law to be actually made

Agency rulemaking, in order to be valid, requires that it is authorized by Congress and that Congress has the power in the first place. So, it doesn't get around First Amendment restrictions by not "requiring such a law to be actually made".
It's not a typo, historic changes in sea level are in the hundreds of meters, from over 100m below current levels (in the relatively recent history) up to a maximum of perhaps 200m. A lot of that is to do with shifts in geology - configurations in the continents, levels of continental shelfs etc, but there's about 75m of potential increases which are locked into ice-sheets, glaciers, etc, and/or dependent on thermal expansion. Of course, even under the most catastrophic scenarios seeing increases on that scale would take thousands, probably tens of thousands of years.

I'm just trying to illustrate how absurd it is to say "oh yeah let's return to the climate in the Cretaceous, everything would be lovely".
This is an important distinction. Simple's API is not secret, but it's also not stable, or versioned, or anything close to that.

Tools have been written to extract data from simple's API, but those endpoints have mostly been discovered through unofficial channels, and Simple often changes them without issuing any kind of warning.

So far twitter has been the best route to find about their changing API endpoints, which speaks simultaneously to the disorganization of the API and the massively high quality of their support team.

> China had printing, and movable type, before Europe, but not printing presses.

Your link contains no support for this rather odd idea. Wikipedia explicitly contradicts it:

> A printing press is a device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink.

> Movable-type presses using cast ceramics were employed in China from the early years of the last millennium.

(emphasis mine)

What exactly does "printing press" mean to you? What distinction are you trying to draw?
Side note: My dad (RIP. Princeton PhD high energy physics working at UCSD as a professor/researcher.) lived in the high energy realm for decades. He worked on every major particle accelerator known and some unknown.

True story. He had a hobby going in a public storage unit with a surplus military linear accelerator. Smallish. About 30 feet long. Of course it required huge amounts of power so he cut a hole in the unit and ran a line to the nearest pole and siphoned 480 mains volts. And the gamma radiation was very dangerous so he hauled in several tons of lead destined for EPA long term sequestering. We worked one summer building shielding walls and measuring the operational radiation. After the unit was 'safely' running, we would take various pieces of thrown away Lucite from the physics machine shop and turn them into polished beam trees (Google it). We then gave them away for Christmas gifts. What fun for a 10 year old kid!
I always assumed that chip/pin being used was at least checked by the credit card company. The machine should be telling them if it supports chip/pin, and the cc company independently knows all the information about your card, so... urrrrgh.

> Why is this an issue?

Because, as opposed to the more adversarial nature of laws, regulations can be passed unilaterally, or by executive order. This makes for rules which may or may not be good, but are definitely expediant. I subscribe to Thoreau's opinion on the matter, but in the case of executive order, agencies tend to skip over or completely ignore the response for public commentary, which is yet another way to short-circuit the process.

> Agency rulings can still be challenged in court

Sure, but agency rulings, in order to be challenged, must first do harm, for without harm there is no standing. For everyone who has gripes with the idea of suing a large corporation, I would agree that those gripes are justified, and further posit that the federal government is the largest corporation of them all. It is hence impractical for a small or even medium company in most cases to fund a successful challenge to a constitutional infringement, and as the limitation of constitutional rights is considered an irreparable injury, it seems that we do it in fairly broad scale far too routinely for my liking.

Beyond all of the above, there's a very good argument, specifically due to the increasingly oligarchical nature of our government that those regulations which are crafted at the behest of the large companies as competitive advantage to smaller companies are exceedingly unlikely to be challenged at all, much less overturned.
I wonder if "Walt Street Journal" was intentional, or a happy accident.
Ten years ago, I ran an email antivirus on a Linux box. Not for linux users (only root), and neither for the MacOSX users on the LAN, but for the people external to the organization who were sending MS-Word documents full of malware, that were forwarded back to them. Internally the viruses were ineffective, but it affected external correspondants, so we filtered them.

Nowadays, there are a few MacOSX and Linux malware, so it could be useful if you are a high visibility potential target, to have such filters.
Nice... but so expensive!
I'm still a bit confused about why anyone would rent out their car via FlightCar when I normally see off-airport parking with a free shuttle costing between $5 - $15 per day with discounts when you do weeklong or more.

The "whatever" attitude of people when it comes to taking care of rentals would mean it's just way more trouble than it's worth for me to use. If you're staying for a month or longer, wouldn't it be much more economical to just take public transportation there or an Uber?
The EO question is just highlighting that 1st Amendment only applies to Congress. It isn't quizzing you on the rest of US law.
I have had the same experience. The car was returned dirty and there was damage on the body. They said they will pay me a measly $60. I asked for $180 since I spoke to a mechanic who said it will cost me that much in SF.

Since there was back and forth I said fine ok just give me the $60 saves me hassle I will foot the rest. I have not yet received the check this was several months ago.

Also another time we had left a credit card in the car by mistake. Someone ran up $700 in charges. Luckily card fraud protection covered us. Flight car did not give a crap when we reported it.

Don't use Flightcar, just take a shuttle or cab or whatever.

I really don't get this concept. Never ever would I entrust a total stranger that I haven't even met with an expensive piece of machinery. You have zero control over what happens when you're not there and your car could easily end up being totaled, broken (in ways not easily seen immediately) or used in ways that conflict with the law. Sure, the 'middleman' will tell you it's all just fine and they're insured and what not. But in the end it's your problem to fix it if things don't work out and it won't take very much to offset the gains from going this route in the first place.

I love the basic idea behind the sharing economy, way too much stuff lying around unused. At the same time as a supplier of capital goods to that industry you're taking an awful lot of risk.
