That's not always been true. Before it was available as an over-the-top service, NFL Sunday Ticket was only available on DirecTV, making it basically a DirecTV original program.

Even then, there are several stations that are only available on certain providers. Locally, our cable company produces a local news channel. It's not available anywhere else.
And among those that do, fewer still know how to do it particularly well.
There's no PAM in CoreOS, which uses systemd.
I work at a small startup with only 2 people in analytics. We build the infrastructure, data pipelines and do the BI analysis and data science. And I really enjoy knowing how it all comes together and being able to change anything in the pipeline. Maybe not having enough money for a big data department is our blessing.
Btw. to elaborate: there seems to be some troublesome sentences where a parse tree isn't just enough – you've got to have a graph. Yet, most of the linguistic phenomena can be parsed into tree structures. That's troublesome. It's like... there's a certain class of a parser in the brain, but then some curious sentences show the ability of overcome the "limitations" of that parser, and still they are considered grammatical.
Java is an exception since it was designed to run untrusted bytecode. The Security Manager controls access to reflection and could easily be configured to disallow doing that.
> Likewise, whites are more likely to use low-penalty drugs like hallucinogens, and blacks are more likely to use high-penalty drugs like crack cocaine

This raises a question about why drugs that whites are more likely to use are penalized less severely than drugs that blacks are more likely to use.
There is a line between "acknowledging reality and the lingering effects of institutionalized racism" and "the racism of lowered expectations," but it is not drawn at "blacks can't get away from the various hells of the world." The former is what I think the GP is getting at.

> At the time of its authoring, "arms" was understood to mean devices used by one person for the purpose of targeting one person or thing.

It also meant cannons (which are crew-served), and up through the War of 1812 and beyond, privateers owned the vast majority of them.
Yes, this is exactly my thoughts. Sure I suppose some people will sit on their asses, but I think many more would pursue hobbies/activities that they are interested in. And when more people are able to participate in ”the pursuit of happiness" isn't that a good thing?
> It's not arrogance if it is true.

No, it's still arrogance to believe you're right and the rest of the world is wrong. Even if you believe it's "true".
Well, you could, yes, but it's hard to imagine a system of "just appropriating the houses from the landlords" that was justice-positive.
The lights plug in to some cheap RF-controlled plugs, and the sensor board sends the signal with the RF transmitter to turn the plugs on and off. I reverse-engineered the timings in this post:

Also, I designed this PCB that's basically a wifi-enabled ESP8266 LED controller:

http://dirtypcbs.com/view.php?share=16892&accesskey=996a11f9...

This allows you to control 5050 LEDs and change their color/intensity/etc over MQTT. I'm going to write a thing to slowly fade them to max as night falls, and make them progressively redder as I get nearer bed time. I'm just waiting for the PCBs to arrive, the prototype works fine.

You can subscribe to my blog to be notified when I write that post up as well.
> Likewise, whites are more likely to use low-penalty drugs like hallucinogens, and blacks are more likely to use high-penalty drugs like crack cocaine.

Why is it, then, that crack cocaine is a high-penalty drug, and hallucinogens are low-penalty drugs?

> Is he just supposed to feel some sort of collective racial guilt? Should black people also feel collective racial guilt over the disproportionate number of murders that blacks commit even nowadays?

Josh Green is entitled to feel guilty not because he's white, but because he's a member of a group that unjustly voted itself privileges in the area of housing, to the detriment of non-members of that group. Race is relevant only to the extent that race was the legal criteria used to distinguish group members from non-members.

> As for the problems you bring up, if low prices are the problem, he's contributing to the solution by increasing demand. I segregation is the problem, he's bringing his nordic white family into the neighborhood and reducing segregation.

The residents of the neighborhood may be incrementally better off as a result of gentrification. But are they as well off as they would have been but for segregation?

The Copenhagen Interpretation of ethics captures an intuitive concept: making things a little better at the margin doesn't relive you of the responsibility for having made things bad in the first place. Consider the criminal justice reform. Right now, we're tweaking the laws to help those who received draconian sentences under "three strikes" type laws. But that doesn't undo the sin of a generation that lost its collective minds and put those laws into place to begin with. And it's totally valid to criticize those dickering around at the edges of the issue by pointing out how little it does to right the original injustice.
Yet another chat that is incompatible with everything else...
Forget the shredder: the encrypted brute force resistant file system is just non-archival quality paper - flammable, sensitive to light, oxygen and humidity. The FBI isn't happy with the paper manufacturer, because if a criminal writes something on this paper they won't be able to read it in their fiery, ozone filled, blacklight lit underwater crime lab.
He discusses this in the summary.

>It would be nice to say that this shows the criminal justice system is not disproportionately harming blacks, but unfortunately it doesn’t come anywhere close to showing anything of the sort. There are still many ways it can indirectly harm blacks without being explicitly racist. Anatole France famously said that “the law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich as well as poor people from begging for bread and sleeping under bridges”, and in the same way that the laws France cites, be they enforced ever so fairly, would still disproportionately target poor people, so other laws can, even when fairly enforced, target black people. The classic example of this is crack cocaine – a predominantly black drug – carrying a higher sentence than other whiter drugs. Even if the police are scrupulously fair in giving the same sentence to black and white cokeheads, the law will still have a disproportionate effect.

But note that this supports very different conclusions from what you'd think only knowing that blacks have higher penalty rates. Is it racist laws, or racist policemen? The response to each is going to be different; e.g. giving policemen "diversity training" or something only helps if they were the problem.
Like all things in tech, it depends. I agree with you that most startups will never see data that will not fit in memory. Remember http://yourdatafitsinram.com ?

Now, a data warehouse where you have a hoarde of Hadoop engineers slaving over 1000 node clusters is probably overkill unless you are a company like facebook or are in the data processing biz. However, some database management systems can be very complementary.

For example, while you can do a majority of things with Postgres, some are not fun or easy to do.

Have you ever set up postgis? I'd much rather make a geo index in MongoDB, do the geo queries I need and call it a day than spend a day setting up postgis.

We find that MongoDB is great for providing the data our application needs at runtime. That being said, it's not as great when it comes time for us analyze it. We want SQL and all the business intelligence adapters that come with it.

Yeah you could do a join with the aggregation framework in MongoDB 3.2 but it just isn't as fun.
I don't know why you are talking about Docker but even for Docker, I have their public GPG key setup in my puppet installation code. Docker is installed with APT and using the same signature mechanism. Docker in turn now does container signature verification. There is a chain there.

If an attacked wants to compromise that chain he has to be present from the start and re-sign the packages trough MITM all the time. If I switch Internet connections and fetch an update I will get a signature mismatch.

Now compare to protonmail's webmail. At any point, if an attacker is able to MITM SSL then the user is compromised. Game over. The client won't even have the chance to see a signature mismatch and take appropriate actions after the fact.

I'm not saying that protonmail is a bad idea but "web crypto" definitely is in my book. It doesn't mean you can't implement another client for the desktop like you did for Android and iOS. Distributing the software and the data on different channels really makes the attacks more difficult.
I read it twice and then saw what he meant. I think he's alluding to how since the flavor vanilla is associated with whiteness, "vanillify" has a cheeky double meaning: make more respectable and make more white skinned.

>How do we change ownership structures to prevent Snapchat, Instagram, and Whatsapp from distributing billion-dollar windfalls among only a couple dozen people?

This seems to be the crux of the argument, that concentrated wealth is bad but direct redistribution via taxes/Government is also bad. The "proposed" solution in the article is to construct a most certainly complex set of laws/regulations such that companies themselves are forced to redistribute their wealth amongst their employees, which only works if you have employees to share with. If 3 people make an awesome mobile game that makes millions of dollars, even split evenly, they're helping virtually nobody with their product yet accumulating a very non-trivial amount of wealth. UBI or similar tax schemes would naturally capture this wealth and redistribute it, I'm not aware of a cleaner/simpler alternative than that.

Note: I think the discussion this article is creating is good, but that the article itself is quite poor.
This is so true. I do business intelligence at Amazon, and I've seen this play out millions of times over. The fetishization of big data ends up meaning that everybody thinks their problem needs big data. After 4 years in a role where I am expected to use big data clusters regularly, I've really only needed it twice. To be fair, in a complex environment with multiple data sources (databases, flat files, excel docs, service logs), ETL can get really absurdly complicated. But that is still no excuse to introduce big data if your data isn't actually big.

I really hate pat-myself-on-the-back stories, but I'm really proud of this moment, so I'm gonna share. One time a principal engineer came to me with a data analysis request and told me that the data would be available to me soon, only to come to me an hour later with the bad news that the data was 2 terabytes and I'd probably have to spin up an EMR cluster. I borrowed a spinning disk USB drive, loaded all the data into a SQLite database, and had his analysis done before he could even set up a cluster with Spark. The proud moment comes when he tells his boss that we already had the analysis done despite his warning that it might take a few days because "big data". It was then that I got to tell him about this phenomenal new technology called SQLite and he set up a seminar where I got to teach big data engineers how to use it :)

P.S. If you do any of this sort of large dataset analysis in SQLite, upgrade to the latest version with every release, even if it means you have to `make; make install;` Seemingly every new release since about 3.8.0 has given me usable new features and noticeable query optimizations that are relevant for large query data analysis.
Write support for the SQL/MED standard was added in 9.3.

Postgres now has a variety of foreign data wrappers available and can serve that exact same function.
That's worse than the never-ever-actually-happened "ticking time bomb." There is no need to address this hypothetical because the odds of this happening are far lower than the odds of getting wiped out by an asteroid.
The point is not so much whether you'd be doing something or not, but whether what you would be doing would ultimately be of enough value to justify the money collected from others to fund your UBI.

I'm not sure that's the purpose. I wouldn't think of this as being intended to be a fully usable product right now. They could be intending it merely as an interesting experiment to explore new possibilities for interaction with mobile and wearable tech.

Another CS student came up with a virtual keyboard using the iPhone's accelerometer[1]. It only had ~80% accuracy[2], so was it all that useful or practical? Probably not. But could it lead to another person or company refining the technique for production in the future? Certainly.

He is, in my opinion, the perfect candidate at this time. I don't agree with everything he says, but he's better than the alternative, which is Hillary. I'd rather see Josef Stalin elected were he alive than Hillary.
And yet lobste.rs maintains a high signal to noise ratio without HTML from the 1990s. Proper moderation has far more to do with maintaining the quality of the community than using tables or raw font tags. I would even argue that some features of the current layout contribute more noise than signal - to give two often argued-over examples, non-collapsible comments, or the fade effect of downvoting.

Some features (or lack thereof) can possibly be justified in the name of intentional simplicity but not everything. How the table-based layout keep the signal to noise ratio up? It doesn't, it can't.

He mentions this in the summary. Note that this still doesn't support kennywinker's claim that "profiling and racist policing directly leads to economic exclusion". If anything, higher usage, combined with several other factors, possibly including racist laws (but not racist enforcement of those laws), led to this.
I'm not the commentator, but Mint is Ubuntu, except they've already done all of the grunt work to make it useful (like making codecs available and prettifying it up).

At least 2 years ago when I ran it exclusively, it was accurately described as Ubuntu-based, not Ubuntu, just like Ubuntu is Debian-based, not Debian. But the similarities are (or at least were) much closer between it and Ubuntu than Ubuntu and Debian.

I often said I ran Ubuntu when I ran Mint, because there was basically no difference worth making.

This sounds promising! Transaction wraparound autovacuum is a particularly nasty pathology because it is so devastating and strikes with so little warning: a system transitions from entirely fine to one that is entirely (and mysteriously!) non-functional in a single transaction. And because the system needs to be up for a pretty long time before you see this (it is tautologically rare), many only learn about this failure mode the hard way. Certainly, we at Joyent got completely nailed by this -- and if you want to get a sense of how disorienting this failure mode is when you're seeing it for the first time, read our postmortem of the service outage that transaction wraparound autovacuum induced.[1]

A long way of saying: this is a nasty failure mode, and it's terrific to see the PostgreSQL team tackle it. While there are still some questions (e.g., this sounds like the autovacuum is still kicked but that is at once more aggressive and more intelligent, but does that mean that an exclusive lock on the table is still blocked for the duration of the operation?), this is clearly a big leap in the right direction, and (more) validation that we've made the right choice for our transactional data; thank you PostgreSQL team!

If you're on a *nix, I'm rather fond of sshfs for this purpose: it's a FUSE filesystem that lets you mount a remote folder over SSH, and from there you can work with files using whatever local editor or tools you want to.

It's available through apt-get in Ubuntu and Homebrew on OSX (and probably other package managers, too), and should work anywhere that FUSE does. Doesn't require any special configuration on the server-side except to have SSH enabled (and not be doing anything weird that blocks SFTP, I guess).
UBI will give people who are industrious, but have fallen on hard times, a baseline to enable them to focus on improving their circumstances. If you've lost everything and you don't know where you're going to eat or how you're not going to freeze to death, those needs consume all of your time and thoughts. With UBI, you'd have those needs covered and could instead focus and look for work, get retrained, relocate for better prospects, go back to school, etc.
