>I could choose to indulge my fabulous side and cross dress

Well, personally, I would say you are born with a fabulous side so you are just being true to yourself. Congrats and have fun!

> Yes, choices do have consequences, but social exclusion based on those choices can still be critiqued.

The problem is you are making a choice not only to believe in something completely void of fact (you can be ignorant if you want to be I guess) but you are also making a choice that HARMS society as a whole. When a person's choice guides them to discriminate a whole group of people based on some stories written a few thousands of years ago thats a choice that deserves to be critiqued. If your choice guides the people you vote for to be anti-science yeah, that choice deserves to be ridiculed.

The racism that liberals show towards colored conservatives is Klan-grade. Justice Clarence Thomas' media portrayal is a testament.

Its very interesting why the all diversity loving liberals, live in heavily white neighborhoods. Actions, speak louder than words.
That doesn't make any sense: I don't choose to have confidence that something is true; I either have confidence that it is true; have confidence that it is false; or do not have sufficient confidence to know either way. I can't choose whether I believe something is true or false, any more than I can choose to wake up an aardvark tomorrow.
Do you mean timeseries data as in IoT/sensor data/etc, DevOps monitoring metrics (i.e. server load, app performance, etc), or something else?

Snowplow is implemented as a unidirectional data pipeline:

tracking -> collection -> enrichment -> storage

Between each step there is typically some kind of persistent queue (mostly S3/Kinesis), and data won't be lost if a downstream component is not operational. Examples:

* If your event collector is unavailable, raw events will be cached in the tracker in localStorage, SQLite or similar

* If your Redshift database is read-only for maintenance, enriched events will be held back until Redshift is writeable again
No fun allowed here.

If two beliefs are mutually conflicting then at least one is wrong. If X^Y is false, then I don't want to believe that X^Y is true. That'd be insane!

I live on an incredibly well lit block in a very well lit part of SF. [0] I'm a couple of blocks away from a substantially less well lit block. [1] It's much more enjoyable to walk through the less well lit block than the more well lit ones. I expect that it's significantly nicer for the folks living in the apartments on that block, too.

Light pollution also affects people who aren't astronomers. :(

[0] Seriously, you can easily read a book on the street in just about any part of the TL. On my block, the fixtures are 50->75% as bright as daylight.

[1] That is to say, you'd have to strain your eyes to read a book on that section of the street.
We currently run on x86 PCs and a number of ARM SoCs (the linked page should give you an idea of which ones). Adding support for new SoCs and boards is pretty straighforward. Feel free to reach out to me directly with what you have in mind: evan AT minocacorp.

I think the trick is not to mix autonomous and non-autonomous. Cities delegate autonomous only zones where no non-autonomous cars can go; this creates a transportation circulatory system and safe experimental zone which can expand - which can include just making the area of city only for autonomous cars larger or gradual commingling with non-autonomous cars. Or again partial autonomy of cars on highways / more predictable driving scenarios, like we are already seeing.
It's funny you should mention translations as different: when Umberto Eco translated Queneau's Exercises in Style he had to rewrite more than a few. Many would consider all translations of that book as rewritings, new exercises. Some don't even have the same number of pieces.

I don't think* embedding Google Fonts allows Google much (any?) data collection beyond, presumably, that the font was requested, though it's definitely an unnecessary dependency.

Given Google Fonts allows you to download all of the fonts, with license info provided, in a variety of formats, there's almost no good reason not to embed them directly in your own site.

Right now, Sandstorm apps will currently work with Google Fonts, but the Sandstorm team intends to sandbox the client side better in the near-ish future, so I've already been nudging Sandstorm apps to make sure not to use such things when I see it.

Note that while the author's blog uses Google Fonts, the Piwik Sandstorm package does not. (I checked.)

*I don't know.
yeah i noticed it a lot while checking profiles that there was just nothing written up at all. never really thought about it being a fake profile.

If its only against conservatives, its not racism.

> Its very interesting why the all diversity loving liberals, live in heavily white neighborhoods.

That's true of wealthy liberals (just as it is for wealthy conservatives), because they live in heavily wealthy neighborhoods, and wealth and race are correlated in the US (liberals, wealthy or not, tend to see this correlation as a problem, though.) Non-wealthy liberals tend to live in more ethnically diverse neighborhoods because (and, I suspect, moreso than do non-wealthy conservatives.)

If I could I would rent everything. Some things I would rent for a long time others for a short.

But each to their own of course.
And openly so, as the artist combined pictures of cities with pictures of the night sky taken e.g. in the desert, but at the same latitude. So they are "fake" but plausible.
I feel like people just assume that they are annoying to drive around, but very few people actually have experience driving around google's cars. The times that I'm around them (a few mornings a week), they are never in any way weird or annoying. In fact, they are extremely predictable, and therefor, if anything, less annoying to drive around.
Have you ever heard of a thing called the "Computer Fraud and Abuse Act"? Even the act of disclosing a vulnerability to the company itself can be misconstrued by paranoid big corps as a "security breach", hence the possibility of a 30 years sentence. I'm just saying it's not worth the risk. At least not in the US.
Thats not what I am saying. I am saying that if you could I think it beats owning it.

You make some good points and it may not be a nefarious overall strategy to push sugar and then sell turn around and sell diabetes pills. They pushed sugary foods first so this is more of a hedge if anything. It's a story though.

A brand is a promise kept. What is Nestle's promise if they continue to expand in this manner? It's confusing and consumers don't like to get squeezed at both ends. Maybe they'll eventually transition over to a "a scientifically driven nutrition, health, and wellness company" as mentioned in the article, but that's a massive branding challenge for a 100 yr old company.
I think they already have the ability to push upgrades during routine service, so the only difference here is the frequency. I don't know what their testing regimes look like, but it may not even be different.

> They only exists because many developers don't know anything else than web development

I know how to write native apps in C# with WPF, Obj-C with Cocoa, C++ with Qt, Erlang with WxWidgets, and even in pure Tcl/Tk. I still prefer using HTML5 to any/all of those. It's about multi-platform portability, where "the web" is itself one of the targeted platforms.

> I would NEVER install an application created using a web framework.

Do you use web apps in a browser? Gmail or Outlook.com, say? Why would them adopting more native UX controls make you stop using them, then?

If it's about the cost in non-shared runtime memory (i.e. basically running 5 separate instances of Chromium for five "apps"), this can be fixed; look, for example, at how the Chrome App Launcher works in Canary. Window-mode Chrome Apps are basically equivalent to Electron apps, but run as sandboxes under a common single-process runtime (Chrome) rather than each being a process of their own.
Actually Spotify's numbers show that people listen to much more off-chart music when they only pay for access instead.

So there are many ways to look at this.
You can't choose your skin color or where you were born, but you can choose your political beliefs.

...a judgement call about whether you think their beliefs are so far from your own that nothing productive can come from sharing a department with them.

it's a different (and less objectionable) type of discrimination.

Is this what we really want? A society of distrusting, hating separatist camps that vilify and exclude each other? Using organizational authority to actively punish "thoughtcrime" should be anathema to fellow liberals and those who espouse humanist values. However, there is (and always has been) a collectivist/identity/responsibility camp who thinks such authoritarian stances are ok.

A tolerant society needs to tolerate the free expression of dissenting and even reprehensible speech. A tolerant democratic society should tolerate legal political expression. As much as an enlightened company should have room for projects to experiment and "fail fast," a society should afford its citizens the opportunity to choose "the wrong" side. Really, the whole point of a democratic society, is that there's no one entity above imposing their idea of right and wrong over the populace.

Collectivism isn't evil and it is a deep part of what it means to be human, but it can't be allowed to trump the rights of the individual. People are best protected and served when collectivism and individualism are in balance.
The problem with understanding trends is that people naturally tend to think that the past predicts the future. What they forget is that what goes up, usually goes down. This is true in the vast majority of cases except for certain occasions (rise of internet, mobile, cloud). This is why hype such as 3d printing, VR, AI, IoT, chat bots, are just that -- hype, until we arrive at the point in time where the exact necessary breakthrough occurs for each, but I don't see it yet in many of todays cases.
For some reason, I knew this would be about tagging files before reading the article.
I'm also in a similar position where I'd like to store approximately 560k records / user / year. My understanding is that Cassandra doesn't support some useful queries that would be useful when business logic is less clear (like group by)[1]. I'm leaning towards using PostgreSQL with a dedicated write DB until performance becomes an issue.

Thats BS. See the FC Barcelona case for instance. One player told another of a 'trick' to pay less taxes, and so on, and now half of their stars are on trial for tax evasion on multiple countries.

Also, there is no way an acct will go out of his way for no return, they were likely hiring them for promises of super great deals, kinda like Madoff's investors.

I wonder, does Intel's TSX/HLE help with these workloads? If it's read-only then I'd expect that it'd be able to elide a lot of the locking (assuming the Intel-designed heuristics do the job).
I recently wrote up a lot about this:

https://convox.com/blog/ecs-challenges/

TL:dr it works very well. It's very flexible. But Amazon is still very hard for a lot of reasons.

One piece of data to share is that with ECS we are effortlessly running hundreds of production clusters and thousands of test clusters.

I'm not sure we could do this if ECS didn't exist.
ECS is incredibly powerful but definitely a lower-level primitive. We look at it sort of like a Kubernetes that we don't have to run for ourselves.

Scale has been great. We have customers running hundreds of containers on a single app without breaking a sweat.

Before you dismiss this as truth-challenged partisans who want recognition of their unjustifiable views, read this.

Sure, we'd adjust - we'd have to. But that can be said about every possible change. The level of oceans raises 5m - we'd also adjust. It doesn't mean it's something that makes sense to prepare for right now.

It's not like we don't accommodate disabled people because we hate them. It's because it needs serious redesign everywhere. If every other person became voluntarily disabled today's cities would become unusable. It would likely have a social split between people moving out to suburbs and flat towns and active people who can use existing dense infrastructure. It would have high impact on taxation to support the change. It would have ripple effect on everything.

Now, would this be a net positive change just because we also improved life for those naturally disabled?
I'm well aware of what the risks are. It was something from github, so it's not like I was doing anything crazy, anyway. During my disclosure, I told them the kinds of port scans I did, and the types of individuals I shared the information to. As full disclosure as I possibly could have been.

To the author of that comment your idea is nonsensical - if they are incontrovertibly correct, than any other viewpoint isn't and as such is not only wrong but malevolently so.

Its a term predominantly used by black critics of a black seen as a collaborator with white oppressors of blacks.

If it is racist at all, it is racist against whites, as it communicates distaste for a person based on their relationship to another hated group (but even then, its not communicating a problem with their relationship with whites as whites, but with white oppressors as oppressors, so whether its racist against whites is probably questionable.)

There's scenarios where its use could be a form of paternalistic anti-black racism, such as its use by whites of a particular persuasion to criticize a black defector from white-led political program in favor of an opposing white-led political movement.
We picked Rack because we like the conceptual analogy. The naming conflict is unfortunate but there are a limited set of good words available. We hope that context will make the meaning clear.

The United States, obviously. The US is still occupying Europe with hundreds of military bases, it supports and funds terrorist groups and drug cartels, it undermines democratic governments and threatens the security of Europe's people through NSA and CIA sabotage.

There's no reason for the US to maintain the overwhelming global military presence that it does, particularly in Europe. World War 2 is over, and the US will never actually go to war with an enemy like Iran, Russia or China, or any country that might actually pose a legitimate threat to global security, so why keep up the pretense of being the "world's policeman?"
