Zombies are used in the survivalist/prepper community as a euphemism for people looking to take your stuff.

Essentially you are saying the same thing as me.

A Vipassana meditator dissociates from their emotions while identifying with the physical sensations (whereas what is generally called as the ego/soul/self is, at core, the emotions themselves). Retreats acutely develop this process, but the effects are felt throughout one's daily life.

Your saying "the real world much intensified" is the effect of this process of identifying with the physical sensations (hence "intensified") while tacitly dissociating from the associated emotions.

While dissociation is one way to cope with emotions, it is not a reliable to way to deal with them in the real world.

Sorry to nitpick, but it's not about "simplicity". It's mostly about lubrication and temperature gradients.

Wear and fatigue have nothing to do with out brains ability to comprehend the system. But it's usually easier to design reliable machine that is somehow simple. So it appears to layman as if "reliability = low number of moving parts". But it's bit like saying "lots of megahertz makes good computer".

No, f.lux only tweens the color profiles of the OS in realtime to shift the white point. It's basically a wrapper around a function already in the OS together with a tween library. The only thing f.lux does is control a hidden API /9 it's not comparable to email or a browser.

Or are you suggesting f.lux passes the entire framebuffer at any given point through their code and adjust the color temperature using a shader on the GPU? (No.)

> Detractors of veganism often like to tout the fundamental right of personal choice: "I respect your choice to be vegan, now respect mine to eat meat". What such proponents are failing to consider is that when a personal choice has a victim, it is no longer just personal. Just as it is morally bankrupt to have the opinion that women are inferior to men, it is equally unacceptable to subject a living, feeling, and consciously aware animal to death, just so your personal choice can be satisfied. So, the next time you think to ridicule a vegan, consider that it is people like vegans who have led the charge for every great inequality that the world has ever seen. People who weren't prepared to let morality be obscured by the status quo. Without people like vegans, we would still be living in a society where women could not even vote.

The author is trying hard to convey the supremacy of vegans over the rest of humanity.

You know somebody is just trying to stir up a flamewar when they bring sexism into the mix for no good reason.

Carnivores eat other animals, are they immoral beings? Is nature immoral then?

Contrary to what the author is trying to make you believe, by definition being a vegan is a personal choice, and nothing more.

If you care about animals, you should support PETA.

If you want to personally protest against the horrible treatment of animals on a lot of the farms, choose to buy free range products.

If you just want to be vegan, fine, do that and respect that not everyone is like you(the same thing vegans ask) and a lot of people prefer that juicy meat.

Not necessarily, depends on what exactly you put in the enclave. It's possible to design a system where the OS lives outside the enclave in untrusted memory. The assurance that your enclave memory is protected is provided by the hardware, and can be confirmed remotely by an attestation protocol. For more information I would recommend checking out a paper by Microsoft Research called "Shielding applications from an untrusted cloud with Haven" from OSDI' 14.

Ask HN: How much equity should I be getting?
Hi everyone. I started with this partner who is in the US and started to work on a startup. I'm living in a 3rd world country and we talked about splitting of equity.

3 of us in my country (which build the startup from ground up) and our partner is in the US. Then a new person comes in who is in the US and started to split the equity again.

Then a new guy is getting 26% and my partner is 36% then 3 of us in our country is getting 5%.There are other people to be split, the lawyer, investors, employees.

We are not yet funded but considering that we got funded. Is the splitting of equity fair?

Most prepper guides devote a lot of time to societal collapse, complete self-sufficiency, urban combat, and wilderness survival topics, while dedicating much less attention to more pragmatic risks that one can prepare for without making profound lifestyle changes or buying a farm.

// From Marge
// </summary>
string escapedFlarb = FlarbLib.EscapeFlarb(unescapedFlarb);

I guess I see stack overflow as just an extension of asking a co-worker. It's just the internet lets us all be co-workers remotely.

That's exactly my thinking about moral and ethical argumentation. If we already share the same values, lucky for us, we have a foundation to build upon. If not, oh well, let's look for areas we can agree upon.

I think moral consensus is successfully used when the right historical moment has come along, and the tipping point has come to the old moral majority. Obama has made a similar point in his recent arguments about gun policy, stating that for some issues, there just isn't the moral consensus to do pragmatic work.

The likelihood is that one cannot build a bridge across values, and that values are axiomatic. Either you accept them or you don't. But if you built a blockbuster theory that built consensus in the philosophical community, those effects would probably begin to ripple outward. I think that's incredible work.
Maybe its what their customers were asking for.

Its not like the two things are even targeted at the same use case. Libvirt LXC is designed to make containers appearvlike VMs and is pretty heavyweight to set up. I always preferred using raw kvm or LXC to wrapping it in libvirt which just gets in the way.

Docker is largely for running single applications with lightweight easy to use setup so you can run it constantly.
I don't think this is the correct approach, it's not the size of the company that is the problem. In fact large companies (not monopolies) can produce/offer services/products that smaller companies can't due to the scale (i.e. mobile banking). What should happen is the employees or execs responsible should have gone to jail for life for the destruction they caused providing a deterrent effect, and also much stronger regulation policed by a truly independent regulator with the teeth to act.

My project's main repo has 150 issues (only 7 still open) and it works out pretty well. Usually contributors will answer each other's questions and help close issues.

I suppose that could be a problem if you have 7000+ issues (as is the case for Docker) - But those projects represent an extremely small percentage of all OSS projects on GitHub.
Also, these projects usually have a lot of contributors, so maybe those contributors could help filter through and tag/close issues as necessary?

Ah, sure, Prolog is dead simple and not a general-purpose language.

Here's a fun little puzzle then. I wrote this predicate:

==

c(A-B, B-T, A-T).

==

That's all the predicate definition - nothing else to it. One line, yeah?

So, you put it in a Prolog source file, consult it, and then fire queries like this:

--

?-c([a,b|A]-A,[c,d|B]-B,T-B).

A = [c, d|B],

T = [a, b, c, d|B].

?- c([a,b|A]-A,[c,d|B]-B,T-[e,f|C]).

A = [c, d, e, f|C],

B = [e, f|C],

T = [a, b, c, d, e, f|C].

?- c([a,b|B]-B, B-T, [a,b,c,d|T]-T).

B = [c, d|T].

?- c((a,b,A)-A,(c,d,B)-B,T-B).

A = (c, d, B),

T = (a, b, c, d, B).

--

Now, based on your understanding of Prolog from ~50 lines of Lisp- how does that predicate work?
There have been attempts at container housing http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to/g172/shipping-co...

There are a number of ways.

The most visible, even if you are not using ZFS is using the SMART output http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/using... There are a number of metrics that might indicate the health of the drive

not all raid cards support this, however most consumer devices do. If you have a card that doesn't do this, either its a highend jobby with another mechanism, or a pile of shite.

second when you actually bump into a hard error, you'll see things in /var/log/messages that say "disk timed out, retrying" (but then you're probably fucked by then)

However using ZFS/BTRFS data is checksum'd when written and read. This means that bit flips and otherwise silent bit rot has a greater chance of being caught early. Performing "scrub" (consistency checks) often means you're more likely to catch errors early. (this is another reason why you'll want, but ECC ram. as it'll tell you when you get bit flips in ram, which undermines on disk checksums)

Part of the reason why people choose raid6/z2 is because it takes a long time to rebuild an array after a disk crash. It involves reading all the data again and computing the hamming code to recover the lost data.

when you buy a job lot of disks, they tend to be the same batch, which means they could be prone to the same bug/defect. So this general means that multiple disk failure happen at the same time. having another parity disk means you can withstand more failure before total loss.

However, none of these mechanisms are a replacement for a backup. even if you have a 36 gig raid, you still need a backup. There will always be a time where something goes horrifically wrong and you need to get access to an archived version.

anyone who fights against this has yet to experience the fun of total failure.

I'm not a huge fan of "war on x" mentality, and even less of government funding these scientific endeavors in general, but it's hard to argue that we haven't made progress fighting cancer. Much of the improvement in treatments have hit the common clinic in the last ten years. A reasonable goal, say, being able to put ~80% of patients who present with cancer into remission, seems possible in the next 20 years, loftier goals, say 95% or "80% with nearly no side effects", I think will be hit by 50 years.

> Am I a rare case? Do most SO contributors want attribution?

The ones that do are quite vocal. I suspect that those who don't care don't spend much time advocating. Personally, all the attribution I need is on StackOverflow itself.

More importantly, I don't want to spend a bunch of time wondering if some one-liner I use requires a note in my about dialog. Technically, I suppose I might already need to do this, but I kinda feel that if you're going to try to fix this, you should fix it right.
