That article is almost a year old now. Considering Wily and Xenial are systemd based I'm going to assume the LXD/LXC folks have figured this out.

As for your last comment, yeah these are system containers - lighterweight virtual machines and not docker containers. They're meant to replicate and entire machine, with an init, more attuned to a VPS/VM and not an application container.
A few years ago, the FBI's online crime staffing was 50% "national security", 40% kiddie porn, and 10% everything else. Don't know if that's changed.

Someone hit by this should file a criminal complaint. If nothing is done about it, that can be publicized.
I think that's the crux of the hysterical coverage around this - the media really, really needs Twitter, and no one else cares anymore.

Snapchat is a better way to interact with your friends _and_ with celebrites/strangers/comedians, but it doesn't make for nice neat embedable quotes.

One interesting aspect of statistical machine learning is the cornucopia of techniques related to the "exploration versus exploitation" dilemma in exploring a giant search space. Cf. "bandit learning"

I think it will take a novel combination of many different aspects of data mining, machine learning, and network science to make a major breakthrough, but it also definitely sounds like a really fun problem to work on.
You could, but why? To compensate for the lack of construction/destruction of the array's elements?

Practically these arrays never go away so there is little point in deallocation anyways.

The problem that I see is that people are heavily rewarded by being leaders, and so sell themselves as leaders even when the group incentive isn't there. I encountered this extensively in university, when seemingly every student was trying to be the president of their student group, or trying to found their own group of questionable value.

I see the same issue in the work world- executives are so heavily compensated that there's a strong incentive to become an executive, which requires one to act as a leader. However, that's often not what's best for the group.
I agree with things like these, I think Casey and other programmers like him are too far in the camp of C++ is just C with classes.

From what I have seen of the code and videos, I think his general structure of programs is off. I'm no advocate of "every function has to be at max N lines" or "every file has to be smaller than N lines". But I think there are issues there, and I don't think it can be defended just because it's a game, where a lot of general practices go out the window.
I'm no expert, but I think glass has a lot of additives that impact its reuse. Colors for sure, but also strength, clarity, thermal conductivity, and maybe more. But for glass bottles specifically, if people got over being sensitive to the bottle color (both consumers and brand-conscious producers) it would probably be ok to lump the bottles together.
So, the many downsides of implanting backdoors into cryptography are most of why I oppose them, and support the global deployment of default-unbreakable communications, so that people don't even have to think about whether their communications are electronically protected but simply always are.

But that's not what I'm taking issue with. What I don't get is the repulsion people here seem to have with the simple idea that the state is entitled to evidence, as part of the social contract that animates the country, and that technology is in fact poised to overrule that entitlement without due process of law or politics.

It's a simple and sensible issue to have with crypto. Crypto is important and valuable technology, but that doesn't mean everything about it is good. It has downsides, too. We should be honest about them, and less shocked when people weigh the downsides differently than we do.

The benefits to this kind of thing are being able to be very specific and go deeper into the subject matter with one's second or third languages. Plus I might argue that smaller languages won't need to die (if everyone can get along and do business in their own tongue). The drawback is that perhaps people who learn languages in the near future will seem like those who study Latin ever since it became a "dead" language.

Trying to brainstorm random scenarios about what could make there be a future "3.", "4.", etc...

3. "Enabling" (some kind of sabotage, infiltration, or collaboration) means a lot of things with a theoretically sound design are broken or backdoored in a way that is somehow hard to notice.

4. End-to-end encryption has a lot of UI inconveniences around key management, so it will only used for a small minority of communications.

5. The "Going Bright" paper's world in which it continues to be easy for governments to hack people. (However, the connection to the data centers isn't very obvious -- maybe for archiving stuff that was transferred with a non-forward-secret protocol, but why will things be transferred with such protocols?)

6. The fear about quantum computers is justified because they only cost about a billion dollars to reduce to practice at a level that can attack deployed systems. For some reason, the transition to post-quantum crypto is especially slow, difficult, or error-prone.

7. Crypto developers continue not to do Cryptopals and, for decades, continue to make frequent implementation mistakes that allow passive adversaries to defeat their systems.

8. There's going to continue to be an easy covert way to get in proximity of servers and read their session keys, but that way doesn't allow covert exfiltration of plaintexts from the servers so attackers need to record the ciphertext elsewhere.

9. The data centers are for recording metadata events, which are expected to become incredibly voluminous.

10. The Internet of Things industry still accepts second-class cryptographic mechanisms supposedly because of technical limitations of their devices, so uses smaller keylengths, no PFS, inadequate RNG, obsolete or custom ciphers...

11. People still use GSM phones with Kᵢ physically generated by their carrier as a basis for confidentiality of a portion of their communications, and it's still possible to attack the carriers' generation and distribution of these keys.

Prepare to pay punishing property taxes for that luxury. You grew up in the area and it's time to move out? Enjoy your tax! Moving from the countryside for better employment opportunities? Tax please!

Can you explain why this would be a moving tax?

Obvious, property taxes only apply to the fraction of the year that you own a place. Are you worried about the overlapping period where you have the house on the market but haven't sold it yet?

I suppose that would be an issue, but I assume for most people, that's a relatively small fraction of time. It's not like there aren't already lots of other expenses associated with moving.
Any reasonably complicated project has some pre-processing that has to be done for a source release. e.g. creating the configure script for autotools repos, or building the documentation. These steps can and should be automated, but github is not providing hooks to perform these automated tasks.
I do appreciate that the reality is that development contracts work that way. I've just spent a lot of time being frustrated at how often the business conversation around software assumes a basic hourly contract cost-plus basis.

There’s something fishy about those Windows 10 market-share numbers
It's optional in iMessages, I believe it's opt-in (not 100%, changed the setting a long time ago to have it on, personal preference).

That said, it was creepy when I realized the only reason it was enabled on my ex-girlfriend's phone (she didn't like it and is tech-illiterate) was that her previous boyfriend had enabled it to see if/when she read his messages (creepy dude that'd send her flowers randomly two years after their break up, but she thought it was sweet and that they were "just friends", yeah, sure).
Those are two different things: the theory of common descent has a lot of evidence in its favor. On the other hand, the claim that all features observed today have been the result solely of random mutation and natural selection, is rather untested. It doesn't make many testable predictions. The mathematical issues with the theory (wherein, on its own terms, the chances are infinitesimal of it being true) are rarely addressed in mathematical terms, instead most responses are of the type "well X1 feature might have helped Y animal survive and reproduce better until it led to X2 feature". If you look at tons of published literature that mentions evolutionary explanations, it is all "just-so" stories which already assume the theory is true.

I am talking about the following criterion in order to qualify as a real scientifically tested theory:

http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/popper_falsification.htm...

According to this criterion, the theory that random mutation and natural selection alone produced all the genotypes we see is like Marxism and Freud's psychological theories. If we assume they are true, we can explain everything with just-so explanations. But that's not falsifiable, it doesn't make testable predictions. NOTE: this is different than saying all animals had common ancestors. It says we know how the changes happened that led to the current features. The fact is, we don't know. We barely have scratched the surface. We are still in stages comparable to the luminiferous ether theory in ohysics or humors in biology. I think in 100 years people will look at our theories of random mutation and natural selection (whether classical, punctuated equilibria etc) and consider us naive. And yet we have proponents like Dawkins yelling from the rooftops that "evolution is as proven as gravity". That's equivocating the word "evolution" with common descent. There is also a lot of pressure and political interest from demand for a naturalistic explanation, similarly to how there is demand from the religious camp for "the institute for creation research". It affects who gets research and who gets published. Science is a human endeavor and it is affected by political and organizational pressures just like everything else. But when something is testable and is being tested, it's obvious. Here nothing is obvious - even the math is dubious. These theories are just riding on the coattails of the theory of common descent because we don't have better naturalistic explanations at the moment. But just because a theory is the best we have doesn't mean it's true. Overstating it is, is more advocacy than science.
Yeah from what I've seen I've noticed he jumps around a lot putting out fires when he changes anything. Like I said in another reply, he's too far in the camp of C++ being C with classes.

A couple of thoughts come up, I'm not a white guy and I'm offended by that guys statement, its prejudiced and I'd be embarrassed if that came out of my mouth.

Second if a company is going to trade on being a meritocracy, then be a meritocracy. Why have a diversity council, why be concerned over a bunch of "white guys" and what they can't learn. If they are the best at what they do and if github considers good management traits include compassion and empathy, then whats it matter what color they are the best people would rise up regardless.

This is just prejudice plain and simple.
I think you and vinceguidry are really missing the point.

"I, and she, would rather deal with the consequences of being really attractive than to stop."

There should be no consequences to how you look, in general, but especially not the kind of consequences that women have to deal with.

Some people (probably most people) don't wear clothes just to get a reaction from others. They wear clothes because they just like them, and don't expect, and should not be forced to comply with, unwanted attention from anyone, simply because of how they choose to dress. vinceguidry stated as much, but then seemed to just go "oh well, that's how things are I guess."

The "real answer" of "what should I do" about being treated this way is to fight this misconception that unwanted behavior is simply expected and has to be either accepted or you have to change your looks. Nobody should have to change how they look to prevent being mistreated. This is not an acceptable choice, and you should not put up with it, nor should anyone.

And as far as comparing yourselves to women's experiences, yes, you may both get "undesireable attention" for the clothes you both choose to wear. But this treatment is not even remotely like the abuse women receive just for wearing a skirt, or having the audacity to have big breasts or a nice butt or a pretty face.

While you are welcome to have your own opinion, lumping your own experiences in with theirs and expressing an opinion about both as if they were one experience is not only factually inaccurate, it prevents discussion about the issue at hand, which is women receive unfair and undesireable treatment from men.

If you put a reasonable amount of effort into legal defense, you could get away with it indefinitely. The US criminal justice system is non-functional in more ways than one.
I have no idea why you are calling it a lie. The AGI is clearly "adjusted" and the formula is public.

This might be more interesting...

In 2011, households in the top, middle, and bottom quintiles received 52, 14, and 5 percent of the nation's before-tax income, respectively; the shares of federal taxes paid by those households were 69, 9, and 1 percent.[1]

So the top quintile earns 52% of the before-tax income and payers 69% of all taxes. The bottom quintile earns 5% of all before-tax income and pays 1% of the taxes.

While investigations generally could precede legal action, they don't always lead to it. An individual could be investigated for a serious crime and later be ruled out by said investigators as new evidence comes to light.

That being said, this should lead to legal action by NYC.
Those "consumer variation bullshit startups" are providing a lot of value to people. It's easy to forget how much less fun day-to-day life was even ten years ago.

I think the main reasons people want to park their money in property in expensive cities are some combination of 1. uncertainty/flight to safety 2. thinking prices will go up, perhaps due to undersupply, perhaps due to genuine value to be produced in the cities 3. for some wealthy foreign investors, an asset that's not at risk of being seized by a corrupt government.

The wealthy are certainly revealing their uncertainty. I'm not at all convinced this is worse than the time when the wealthy had absolute confidence in their grand plans for improving the lot of the unwashed masses.

That is ingenious. By having alternating small and large photosensitive areas coupled to fixed size charge storage devices, you get high and low sensitivity pixels with high commonality.

In theory you could have an exponential series to have even more dynamic range.

Or alternatively, if you use powers of two for the sizes, you could use 1-bit sensors, though you probably couldn't do a high bit depth that way. But it'd be extremely fast, as there wouldn't need to be a real A/D conversion. Maybe concentric pixels of varying sizes...

Yes, you hit it on the instrument practice.

I struggled with exactly that, and failed on that instrument. Never did quite get the same thing out of it twice, without a lot of focus on that thing.

Later, with little formal practice, I would play with a different one. Ended up with some modest skill that remains today.

Core/blockstream's position is not consistent and logical. Should users be able to make decisions? Should core developers be able to over-ride those decisions? Bitcoin is a system with majority decision making. Making Side-chains the major cornerstone of the Bitcoin ecosystem will turn out to be a mistake. Side-chains don't make much sense if you understand incentives and risk. The same applies to Lightning which will equally be a failure. Unfortunately in the Bitcoin core dev bubble there isn't much actual discussion of these things. Talking about FUD, when Core/Blockstream has very massive leverage I find misleading. There are better ways to handle governance in OSS and cryptocurrency then founding a private enterprise.
So your contribution to this discussion is the suggestion that having cited Lord Chancellor Hardwicke, discussed the distinction between search warrants and general warrants, and pointed out Branzberg v Hayes, maybe I was unfamiliar with the text of the 5th Amendment?

If the 5th Amendment doesn't protect your personal diary --- and it doesn't --- and it doesn't prevent the government from wiretapping your phone --- and it doesn't --- it's unlikely to bear heavily on this discussion either.
Urubu 1.2.0: Templating constructs in pages
It blows my mind that the internety tech industry, of all industries, is so heavily concentrated in a handful of physical locations around the world. There's this vicious cycle where companies think they need to be in one of these places to attract the best talent, and employees think they need to live in one of these places to have the best career options.

Sometimes when I'm at Red Door in SOMA, overhearing twenty different conversations about startups, I want to scream "We have this thing, it's called the internet, it makes it super easy to communicate from anywhere! Let's go! Let's disperse across the globe!"

I mean, I get it. Face-to-face in-person communication is powerful for building trust, and the valley runs on trust, but still.

This has nothing to do with my argument at all, but I'm game for pointing out that I think it's an incredibly weak argument. All sorts of things that we rightly agree are fair game for public policy decisions can be boiled down to "just math" or "just basic chemistry" or, whatever.
