Pi-hole is great and I had no trouble setting it up, but I couldn't continue using it as it constantly triggered NoScript's ABE (Application Boundaries Enforcer) which blocks scripts served from a LAN address. This is for a good reason, and it may be possible to white-list the Pi in the ABE settings, but I didn't have a good enough understanding of the implications to feel comfortable just allowing it or disabling ABE.
I don't understand this point:

- Fully userspace containers, no need for elevated privileges

The most basic Linux container is constructed with chroot and namespaces, both of which require root privileges (or at least CAP_SYS_CHROOT and CAP_SYS_ADMIN respectively). Additionally managing layers with a union filesystem, unless utilising FUSE, will also require elevated privileges.
In my experience it's easier and less risky doing it the agile way. You give them a 2-week sprint target. If they fail to hit that, then:

a. You don't pay them.
b. They're probably going to miss every other target.

If you paid the agile shop for everything they did no matter how crap, and withheld payment from the waterfall shop because quality control, then that's got nothing to do with agile vs waterfall, it's got to do with your QC.

I'm confused. Can someone please point me to material that explains when to use a parse-like solution?
I think reproducibility is one of the biggest challenges to face science in our time. Luckily we have the tools we need to solve the problem already. Of corse paper journals don't want to waste space and reproducing results, but no such constraints are on online publications. And while moving publications online we can solve the issues of journal publishers owning the copyright on papers written with public money. The big question that's left is trust. A lot of the journals that have gone online are essentially scams publishing whatever you want for a fee. We still need the peer review step the close the gap.

Besides reproducibility, you also need to make testable predictions for it to be science. I wonder what would the testable predictions be for most evidence that all (or almost all?) evolution proceeds entirely by random mutation and natural selection. If this isn't true then a lot of the stuff in evolutionary psychology and other "just so" explanations may be completely unscientific.

> don't let you even look at the problem space first

this is the core of the issue. when one has the time to break down all unknowns and discover them, estimate are quite spot on. but who want to pay for the estimate?

so we are left trying to guess what time a particular unknown is going to take to solve.

the good metaphor here is asking how much time it will take to solve a puzzle magazine, from cover to cover by looking at the title.

> Do you really want to live in that world? The world where I have to get past Google's, Apple's (iOS and Mac app store), Debian's and Steam's arbitrary rules about what is and isn't an acceptable app?

Actually yes. With the caveat that I can still install applications outside of the repositories and/or install third party repos. With Android and Debian I can. And Steam isn't quite the same since it's an application rather than OS so you can bypass Steam entirely (even on SteamOS).

That way you have some reassurances (albeit no guarantees) about the software you install, plus a method to manually bypass those protections if you so desire.

> One of the reasons Windows flourished was the openness of the platform.

No, that's not the reason. Or at least not the openness of the _software_ platform. The reason Windows flourished was the number of IBM-compatible clones out there and the monopoly Microsoft had -and successfully campaigned to retain for many years- on said hardware. Under those conditions Windows only needed to be "good enough" to compete rather than a market leader in openness, stability, security, nor any other measure that us geeks normally consider.
"Insists on having lawyer present - paranoid delusions"

An advanced directive would be more useful than having a lawyer there. A discussion with your nearest relative about what you want and what you want them to say would be more useful.
Hopefully all the child posts will see this too.

TO edit the hosts file, you need to have admin privileges. That means closing whatever editor you're using, reopening it with 'run as administrator', and then opening the hosts file. You need to do this even if you are an admin account.

Another way to do it is to open the hosts file under normal editing privileges, editing it, saving it somewhere else, and pasting it into the drivers folder. The system will ask you if you want to run as admin, and you need to say 'yes'.

Nothing could (or should, I guess) be changing the hosts file otherwise (AFAIK, my source being many, many SO posts and random forums) without it being given explicit admin privileges when it attempts to change the file.

What on earth does spending x hours on something prove? If someone spent their 52 hours zoned out while the video played, just aware enough to click the "I'm still watching" button that shows up every 5 minutes or whatever, how would that make them any more qualified than the macro?

It sounds like the real problem is that the test is grossly inadequate. The regulations should specify a test that's stringent enough. Specifying x hours of training isn't helping anyone.
I'm not implying anything. I'm saying that the GP's predictions of 100% unemployment after unspecified amounts of time are unfounded and digging up some more reasonable numbers.

I suppose a good outcome would see the unemployment rate of refugees converge against the unemployment rate of the non-migrant population (vaguely: 7.9%[0]), or more specifically the unemployment rate of those parts of the non-migrant population with similar levels of qualification (vaguely: 13.3%). Because as these levels converge, it makes less and less sense to think of it as a migration issue and more of a more general labor market issue.

It really depends on how big the bank is.

If a bank is really big, like HSBC, it can't/won't be penally prosecuted in real world, so the rational choice [1] is actually to keep committing crimes, and settle the ones where they're caught.

On the scale of such bank, even fines which would be astronomical from the perspective of a normal citizen, are peanuts (so to speak) for a large bank.

I was being a bit hyperbolic, but only a bit. I really don't trust someone who is willing to bundle up crap that obviously nobody wants, just to earn a few bucks when someone is tricked into installing it, but I can agree that it's a significant step from that to actually producing malware.

Most reports of "no thanks" failing to work are probably due to third-party installers from who-knows-where, but I've seen at least a couple of cases (PSPad and CamStudio IIRC, could be mistaken) where it was attributed to a bug in the official bundle.
Something I took from several articles is, most managers don't really need an estimate - what they need is a commitment, and/or a budget (and the estimate is an input to generate said commitment or budget).

Small correction: "When the banks were Greek, Spanish, Portuguese or Irish, the Greek, Spanish, Portuguese and Irish governments didn't give a fuck about the people."

Since you appear to be from one of those countries, you should see how to get more responsible for your choices and look for better representatives to elect. I don't see what's your point about another sovereign country. Everyone has their own problems, let's just focus on ours.

BTW you would be surprised how pissed off were Germans at that time, because every sane person knows the old saying: "Bankers here, bankers there, all the same everywhere." So we (at least not the bigots among us) should be allowed to speak of regular people bearing the cost of such changes, shall they happen, just as we (and YOU) did it when the same thing happened in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.

One things that I find "interesting" in this explanation is that: there is so much noise that to detect something they must predict first what the results are supposed to be and then check whether they find it.
This make finding new unexpected things (that they talk at the end) difficult, no?
It could easily have been a bottom-up effort - someone got tired of watching the videos, wrote the macro (doesn't require a lot of programming expertise), passed it around to their friends who also used it, passed it up to their manager and eventually it became widespread.

Have you ever had to watch 52 hours of mandatory training videos? I think that could easily be more unpleasant than 104 hours of hard labour.
Sounds really annoying but isn't that a corner case?
> Even if this were true (which it isn't)

Maybe I was being too general, but the diagnosis criteria I remember from when I've looked at such (including ADHD, Autism spectra disorders, and Depression) have included such qualifiers, IIRC.

Checking ASD, the following is one of the criteria:

The deficits result in functional limitations in effective communication,
social participation, social relationships, academic achievement,
or occupational performance, individually or in combination.

While the word "negatively affected" is not specifically used, I would at least argue that the above is morally the same.

Of course the diagnosing psychiatrist could always fudge the facts, but arguing whether or not psychiatrists accurately apply diagnosis criteria is a different matter to arguing that "to avoid one or another mental illness diagnosis, [...] you can't be extraordinary in any way".
Moving from the UK to Germany, I chose Deutsche Bank based on its reputation.

Pros:

* English! There is always someone on the phone who can speak English, and they can even send their letters in English. (for Germany, this is very rare)

* More "high touch" - there is a person assigned to your account

* I can't remember if this was the case in UK, but I noticed that transfers to some Western EU countries have no fees and happen almost instantly. Yay!

Cons:

* Buggy app and web interface, sometimes the login fails or hangs randomly (revenue was €31.95 billion in 2014, it's understandable that they can't afford spending too much on this)

* The way to authorise online transactions is with a piece of paper with 100 codes printed on it (TAN list). This was a shock, but it's apparently common here.

* Taking advantage of new customers. They offered me a loan which I later realised had a ridiculous interest rate. (I guess this isn't exclusive to DB, but silly me expected that a good, more prestigious bank would value longer term customer relationships)

* Stupid useless cards. The default account (€5/month) comes with a card (EC Karte) that can only be used at German ATMs and in most German stores. Good luck trying to do anything online with it. For that you need a credit card (extra €5/month), the very idea of something like VISA Debit seems completely alien to Germans.
If you apply exaggerated stereotypes and think of "software developers" as cool web x.0 startup UX whatevers who failed to find a more matching category and of "computer programmers" as Fortran-wielding remnants left over from the IBM age, it does not seem all that surprising anymore.

With "protecting" you mean for example protecting the money laundering business in Mexico?

Your perspective is too generalized, thus ultimately false. The case depends on the size of the bank.

In the case of a famous British bank, the prosecution literally stated that they could not prosecute the bank because it would have been too much of a big impact on the economy.

They got fined with the equivalent of a few weeks of profit, and who knows how much they ever profited from such illegal activities.

Doesn't sound a protection racket to me.
Understandable. The white/gold is caused by misinterpreting the lighting. I've seen it as white/gold on one site and blue/black on another, just because of the different colours the site had around the photo. It's really interesting to experience what context does to your perception, and it also underscores just how unreliable and subjective our perception really is. Well, yours is less so, apparently.
And to what extent are we responsible for those alternatives? How much are the companies we patronize invested in making sure their employees have no choice?
"The main issue is that the first experiment (Sun gone nova) is not repeatable, which makes it highly unsuitable for frequentist methodology"

Economically this is correct - you do have an imputed stream of rental income from a property. You are just choosing to consume it directly (by living in the house) rather than sell it to another party, receive money and turn the money into other consumer goods.

Imagine an alternate scenario. You own a home, but rent it out. Also, you rent an equivalent home from another person. In this alternate scenario, you'd have to pay income taxes on the rent you receive. Similarly, if your employer gave you free rent in a house they owned, you'd need to pay tax on the value of that rent.

Economically there is no good reason to distinguish between these two cases. It sounds like NL is doing things right, or at least righter than the US.
the article keeps conflating the idea of eradicating human-disease-causing mosquitoes with eradicating all mosquitoes. Presumably the strategy of genetically sterilizing male mosquitoes, for example, would only work for aegypti. The article itself says, "there are thousands of different mosquito species found across the planet, and relatively few of them impact human health"

So eradicating human-threat mosquitoes may not have such a large effect on the global mosquito ecosystem.

BTW nobody spoke on the issues of other EU members, like e.g. Greece's northern neighbours Bulgaria and Romania where people live with less than the Greeks during the worst times of their crisis. And all this just because someone somewhere gave carte blanche to the Soviet Union to install pro-communist forces in countries of strategic interest to them where there was almost non-existant communist movement compared to Greece where the UK allegedly intervened so that this won't happen. Just for perspective: people lived comparably good/bad in all three countries before WW2.

Independent UK newspaper to cease as print edition
I really was biting my tongue to write this as dry and neutral as possible.

I am from Denmark and in many ways we are similar to Germany.

But we are different in that we have taken in a relatively small number of refugees (around 25.000 pa. excl. family reunions, population 6 mio.) and yet the subject number 1 in Danish politics is how to handle the strech on public finances it creates.

This may be due to two things:

1. Denmark is more generous to refugees and/or integrates them more poorly.

2. Denmark has different politics where it is okay to talk refugees as expenses. (Whether they are or not is another question - my point is that our politicians talk about it in this way.)

What I wrote would absolutely not be controversial to say in Denmark but I can see from the downvotes that it is different elsewhere.

Which I think underlines my point that this subject really is too touchy to have a good conversation about.
