I upvoted inspite of the exaggeration. I think it was unintentional. You are just generalizing and extrapolating too much from Delhi visit.

That India under British rule was better is an offensive claim, but let me comment on the parts where there is some truth in what you say.

Being an Indian I confirm with sadness that Indian males from many states (more so up north, and more so the type that regurgitates 'all women are to be worshipped, they are like ma bahin (mother and sister)') consider women easy meat as long as no one's looking, sometimes even when they are. In many of these states there are very few platforms for male and female population to share healthy and easy
proximity. Heck, the political party that the current prime minister hails from has a long politically profitable history of beating up couples (sometimes on television) for doing just that.

You may have also noticed that incidents of rape often happen across social strata, more specifically most of the rapes (well those that make it into news) are rape up.

A part of the problem is that parts of India are very feudal and deeply hierarchical (Pakistan much more so). One strata shits on those below with entitlement. Pick some from the 'lower' strata, they would have never experienced common courtesy or consideration from strata above, not just the current generation but for generations past. Courtesy, respect and considerations would be alien to them.

It should not surprise anyone that cross strata empathy is almost non-existent.

Now look at who is building the infrastructure to be used by the upper strata, its those who are relatively at the bottom. Do you think they will give much heart into their work ? Its not like they will get to use that infrastructure much or have since generations, just shat on.

Atleast share the exploit so we can learn how much of an oversight it was otherwise I'm going to have to go and ask the trolls.
I had an XU3, and the eMMC pretty much justified the entire cost of the setup for me. Boots practically instantly, rw was insane, I had a crap connection so updates sucked, but like installing from tarballs was super quick.

It's a neat little device. I had a real-hard time getting Android working properly, but it was well worth the effort once it was.
These folks have a ted talk video on their front page where they show the view from inside their headset. Seems reasonably expansive.

I've had this thought too, but I think the horses have well and truly bolted.

Concourse lets you put the file anywhere; the act of applying configuration is distinct from committing it.

Initially people put `pipeline.yml` or `concourse.yml` files in the top of their repo.

It's rapidly evolved so that typically you'll find either `ci/pipelines/{some,number,of,pipelines}.yml` in the main repo, or a separate repo for the CI/CD system. I prefer the former, most teams I've seen so far prefer the latter.
Religion is not part of your identity, it's at best an opinion that you are (potentially temporary) holding now.
And this is wrong for CoCs to include religions, or political views, on the same level as identity defining traits like gender and race.

From where do the paychecks come at private prisons? OP was talking about people who work for the government, whether those are subcontractors or GS-5's.
There is some irony in here. I know of cases where people broke up the toilets built with govt money just to sell the bricks. I am glad however, that the discussion has been less myopic than I would have otherwise expected: oh look at these poor Indians why don't we get some money and build them toilets.
This feels like damage control to me. While your explanation is always possible, that board moved much slower than HN's front page so the idea that the post somehow got lost in the mix when he was actively involved in several other posts sitting on the front page is stretching things a bit (in my opinion).

But that isn't even the important point. The deficiencies I outlined haven't been been revisited have they?

If not, it would seem my distrust wasn't so misplaced, and that was the bigger point.

Who knows, maybe the rest of the stdlib has had more thought put into it, but that was the first bit of the stdlib I had dove into the source for and what I saw wasn't good. I didn't want to do that for the rest of the stdlib either.

If Araq has become the bottleneck, then maybe something needs to change in your process, because as you can clearly see I offered to be the one to make the changes.

> I'm looking for modern solutions for the latter which is basically as stateless and reliable as our product Docker infrastructure.

I'm a broken record in this thread: Concourse. Stateless, containerised builds. Declarative config checked into repos. Pipelines as the central concept.

All of these as the core paradigm, not from plugins.
Where would 1,000,000 londoners go? This is purely theoretical, which is exactly my point. On paper they are rich, in practice not to much.
Except not really. We are seeing systemic establishment manipulation of the primaries by both the dems and reps, in both parties to stop Trump / Bernie. On top of that, nothing about these parties primaries needs to be democratic - they are private organizations, they can do whatever they want to nominate a candidate for president. The only democracy we have is that mandated by law, and that democracy has devolved to two choices handed to you by two gargantuan establishment organizations and all the donors behind them.
You should go look at current statistics. $250k does not put in in the 1% you need to make closer to $380k to breach that mark.

Doctors work in an industry where compensation is strongly influenced by government policy. The government is the largest single payer for healthcare services due to Medicare and Medicaid which makeup roughly 40% of heath care costs in the US. The AMA lobbies the government heavily to ensure favorable rates on procedures paid for by those programs and thus ensures a high income for their members. So in the sense that a lot of their economic prosperity is derived from their political influence they aren't all that different from any other wealthy person who lobbies the government for tax breaks and other economic advantages.
Both of those allegations are false.

Nothing is sent to any King servers, unless you actually want to use our analytics tools, which is an opt-in solution anyway. :)

The only reason why projects are hosted on our servers is due to the legacy of the engine, originally planned as a subscription service, long before being acquired by King. This is something that really wasn't a problem up until now, which is why it simply has stayed that way.

We want it to be easy for users to just create a project and start coding, not having to spend time on setting up development environment and code hosting. However, of course we see this is something people want to be able do as well. We will add the ability to more easily configure where projects are hosted (or even use local projects (already added to the new editor)).

But it's even possible right now to actually change your Git server to your own (or GitHub as you mentioned), I wrote a guide on it here: https://forum.defold.com/t/howto-alternative-project-hosting...
As far as I know, Amazon search is only available on the default Ubuntu install. No fork has ever adopted it what so ever.
It's not your local doctor making $250k that is in the 1%, it's the doctor who set up a diagnostic company and ordered lots of unnecessary tests and is demanding kickbacks from other healthcare suppliers, whose rent-seeking is pulling in several million a year:

If your point was that nurse practitioners won't help that siutation a lot, then I agree (although I think nurse practitioners are still a great idea for other reasons). But I believe it's wrong to suggest this is not a real problem.

Similarly, salaries for top college and hospital administrators are routinely equally and exceeding that of your $30M hedge fund manager. Perhaps even worse, they justify this based on the size of the organisations they manage, which are easily inflated by hiring lots of non-teaching, non-clinical administration staff (not to mention mergers, which also give hospitals especially more market power to extract rents). It's all financed by easy money from student loans and from insurance/Medicare that doesn't have a choice.

So I totally disagree that looking at the 1% is unhelpful, because all of the things above are real problems that need to be solved even if you think inequality doesn't matter. Anyone born after about 1980 and anyone who has medical insurance or pays taxes is getting fleeced, and they're not getting better services for their money. Fixing that will make a much bigger difference in most people's lives than confiscating a bit from the hedge fund manager (though of course there's no shortage of screwed up incentives in finance to fix either).
Hi mchahn, the plugin has been updated to only work on each individual window
And how is this a problem? You would only do this if interest rates are low, and if you believe the stock will appreciate more over the long run than it would cost you to service the interest on the loan. Also, if the value of the stock tanks, the bank will come collecting and sell the shares you pledged as collateral.

Second, this is a part of doing business - you can leverage anything (real estate, stocks, bonds, etc)
I might be an absolute DevOps Newbie, but getting GitLab CI to do a simple "copy to this ssh destination" buildscript seems very complicated.

From what I could gather it means that I have to create a specific runner whose login credentials are in its config, which aren't accessible via the WebUi, only as a file on the server where the runner is running and give it an unique tag. Then in my repofile i have to select that specific runner so it then "runs the build" on my deployment target.

Hopefully i'm completely wrong about this, but this seems horribly complicated and very inflexible for deployment purposes.
Why would I specify my deployment target in my repo?

Maybe simple deployment jobs like I'd build them in Jenkins aren't in the scope for GitLab CI?
>but also by market conditions, cost of building it in-house, time-to-market cost of building it as opposed to having right now (this also gives a strategical advantage with competitors), and the quality of the team who will now join SnapChat, among other factors

Which all only matter insofar as their ability to produce revenue. It's odd how this is overlooked in the SV community. Who cares if it's a "deal" because it would cost $101 million to "produce in house" if it will produce no revenue?

I'm making no judgement on this deal, but this idea in general.

>multiple acquisition offers at the same time from different companies which in turn triggers an auction

You bid what you think it's worth, period. What others think it's worth is irrelevant. Do these businesses not have somebody in house doing these sorts of calculations? They show up to the auction with no plan?
I know an 87yo man who did not learn to read until his 40's. He is off the charts intelligent, a very accomplished business man and a widely recognized/awarded artisan. Times were different in his adolescence, and he has done plenty of reading in his latter life(classics, technical) but he professes his depth of success would not have been possible if he were distracted by "fairy tales" & the daily assault on our senses of modern(pre-digital) media & marketing. As a result, I sometimes question my thousands of hours reading fiction as a kid instead of honing my historical knowledge or technical skills. Ultimately however, I do not regret the multitude of stories I have experienced & cherish the imaginitive depths I experience in my mind's eye, I won't ever be the "best of the best of the best" of anything, but I will be good and I will be the best I can be while I enjoy life's distractions. He respects that attitude & has expressed his envy, too. The grass really is greener on every other side, I guess.

How to Work with SVG Icons
I pretty much quit playing any/all Blkzzard games after a month of WOW.

It quickly became clear to me that they intended and succeesed at effectively creating a profit-making skinner box for humans.

Who knew the HS psychology class where we trained a rat to pull a bar for sugar water would later act as an innoculation for lousy games that manipulate their users via classical conditioning methods.

It's sad really because the Blizzard classics (IE Diablo 1/2, Starcraft, Warcraft 1/2) represent the pinnacle of visual storytelling in games.

Yes.I am.
I don't like the Dockerfile or Jenkinsfile either, but I can kind of understand the .travis.yml. The good thing about the "Dockerfile" is that with most of the docker commands that interact with it, you can use the '-f' option to specify the file. For example "docker build -f dockerfiles/application.dockerfile" -t myapplication .". I don't see any easy way to do that with the Jenkinsfile.

The amount of top-level files in these projects has started to become quite large, and it is unclear at first glance to see what it is important when exploring a new ecosystem.

I'd like to see these products would move in a direction where these were would do any/some of the following:

1) use a file extension rather than "important" describing filename (.docker for Dockerfiles and .groovy/.jenkins for Jenkinsfile)

2) moved into a product specific folder (travisci/ci.yml, github/ for the issue and pull request templates)

3) use yet another top level file for indirection that is agreed upon (my initial thought is something named integrations.yml)
Apologies and much appreciation for the introduction of some interesting, and very much important, models from evolutionary biology. I fear my tone was somewhat poisoned by that of the grandparent comment. Wanting to learn about evolution is fine. Doing so by asserting that certain accepted "truths" might not hold is also perfectly valid (assuming you're willing to accept when you are wrong).

Claiming that the entire premise of a course of research, on which numerous scientists with extensive training have worked, is "false" is just filled with the worst sort of hubris.
It was fun to read the (first, not marked as example) entry "400 $/Day"(made my day).

I believe im not in the target Group or simply not rich enough :-)

(E.g. 10 days would even cost more than I actually earn in One year)

Or: it's a fun entry. Any ideas?

Edit: clarification: earn in One year, after eating, living and so on.

Yup, and that cell looks like a truly horrible place to accommodate a person (let alone two). My woodshed is nicer than that.
When I started my HK company I had been living in Asia for several years already and it just made more sense due to the lower effective taxation.

Card processing: Braintree, 2Checkout, and then some lower tier options like PaymentWall. I'm not including old-school/direct merchant accounts here. Keep in mind that 4%*$0.45+1.5% is totally standard, with that final 1.5% added for non-HK billings. So you will pay 2% more to charge a card in HK compared to US. But your tax rate can be literally zero percent.

A better option may be a US subsidiary or a US company wholly owned by a foreign entity. This is something I am considering, because...

> banking

Absolutely everything is a pain. After four years I still don't have a business charge/debit card. Applications for card processing and debit cards each take dozens of forms and generally longer than a month.

Having said that, I have saved lots and lots of money.

Lastly, a HK company costs about $1,000 to setup and $2,300 yearly to maintain.
Generally speaking I think individuals have the right to minimize their taxes through legal means, no matter how convoluted. But I also think it's reasonable for people to draw the line somewhere for what they consider fair or unfair.

Another example of an instrument that has benefited tremendously from our recent ZIRP + rising equity markets is the Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, which will likely leave a worse taste in people's mouths compared to Ellison's maneuvers. [1]

It is a fair point for people to ask whether these legal maneuvers should remain legal.

My answer will of course be biased, since I work on Defold.

But if you are going for a 2D game, I think Defold is a really good choice. We support Android, iOS, desktop (Win, OSX and Linux) and HTML5. We try to solve all the icky platform specific stuff for you. And to start coding you only need to download the editor, there is no development environment to set up.

Are you doing fancy 3D stuff, then Unity will probably be better, currently. :)
You are right, I did not read it carefully. Looking through the player privacy policy is still concerning though. The weasel word reasonably comes up 4 times, including:

3rd party sharing:

"We will only share your data with third parties:

with your consent (including as set out in this Player Privacy Policy);

as reasonably necessary in order to provide the Services to you;"

"as we reasonably believe is permitted by law or regulation; "

Information retaining:
"We may retain information about you after you have deleted a Game or after we have ceased providing services if retention of your information is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes between members, prevent fraud, cheating or abuse, or enforce this Player Privacy Policy or any other agreement we may have with a user. "

Point 5. looks especially bad to me:
"5. Other Information
.. We may combine information that we collect from you with information about you that we obtain from such third parties and information derived from any other subscription, product, or service we provide. "

I understand it is not very different from currently accepted practices in privacy policies, and one could say it is unfair to point out just in this case, but it does not make it any better.

Disclaimer: I don't think Defold is a bad actor, just my 2 cents when somebody wants to do the right thing

I find this idea appealing too, because it creates good incentives in the market. What I wonder about is the kind of incentives it creates in government (what do we do when pollution is eliminated but the government is broke?). Do you know of any good writing on this topic?
> This law was made because the government literally thinks that poor people are too stupid to invest and gauge risk.

And there's abundant evidence to support that conclusion.

Accredited investor requirements are not what keeps people poor. Index funds (which anyone can access) outperform hedge funds.
I see the CB3-131 is on the GalliumOS hardware compatibility list (https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility) now, under Intel Bay Trail, and supposedly works with ChromeOS as a dual boot option. However, the installation guide (https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing) links to https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing/Preparing as a first step, which says "On Bay Trail Chromebooks, you will have to flash your firmware. Luckily, John Lewis' script makes it a very straight forward process. Unfortuantely, you'll have to open up your Chromebook. Also note that after completing this process, you will no longer be able to run Chrome OS on your Chromebook, so no dualbooting for this one I'm afraid."

This contradicts the entry in the HCL. Is this true? Were you able to get your CB3-131 to dual boot?

I've avoided doing so until now, but at this point I have to assume that you've only read the introductory paragraph of TFA and no further. The comment about only passing on half of an individual's genes is the author attempting (and not completely succeeding) to relate the well known, well studied costs of sexual reproduction to a lay audience.

This is not, however, what TFA is about. It is covering a course of research that is investigating whether or not sexual reproduction compensates for the difference in mutation rates between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA. You've managed to fill an entire thread with attacks on the introductory paragraph from a science journalist without once addressing the research being reported upon.
> you can get completely different code between production and staging.

That's not NPM's fault, its the fault of the way you deploy code. Even if you locked down a version, git is mutable so someone could change their code. That's why I "rsync" the code to production, so I know its the same as development.
