So disingenuous. Clarium was a bit ... volatile, but as I understand it generated 8 percent and change compounded returns over the life of the fund, and it likely wasn't that correlated with other funds in your portfolio, which means the idiosyncratic volatility was less of a concern than it might have been investing in a guy that ran with the herd.

A fund that does well can shape its returns, but you cannot control investor behaviour. So talking about a 90 percent loss of assets without mentioning the compounded return of the fund is really a sign that you aren't trying to be fair, but just stick the knife in. Or, throw enough mud and some of it will stick.

One wonders why you're even bothering to complain. You realize that fashion, entertainment, movies, video gaming, female modeling, male modeling, and so on probably collectively make up more than $1 trillion of the world economy?
Well meaning laws that are in practice nearly impossible to meaningfully enforce should not exist - from the beginning as well as when then this reality kicks in. Copyright shares many traits with the war on drugs.

They were implemented and then continue to stick around way too long in an archaic non-working state - because they were well meaning. But making sure it will actually have the intended effect is not a requirement. The enforcement side is always left to figure it out after the fact. The reality of the law is something that can be delayed, what matters is moral gratification of the policy makers.

This is sadly prevalent in American policy: laws always start with good intentions but often ultimately a) causing net-negative via side-effects or b) not enforcable so a giant money/time sinkhole. Serious scrutiny beforehand could probably detect the majority of this stuff but that's not a requirement in office apparently.
For me personally, I don't think it is worth it. But if I hadn't studied abroad, it wouldn't have killed my interest to do so.
No part of all of those desirable outcomes requires coercion. In fact you've already said that you willingly pay for same.
yes you can, and it means you can have a reactor which (when the power to the fusor fails), it turns off(ish).
Also, and this is a serious question: what is your definition of pacifism, that it allows for coercive funding? I assume here that you support the arrest and jailing of those who refuse to pay tax (and their probable death, should they refuse to be arrested either).

I'd say the concern is Chinese, but it's a systemic problem rather than a concern about any individual's morals or honesty.

I would say that the "3 Felonies a Day" theory applies equally if not even more-so to someone like the Secretary of State. It's probably very hard if not impossible to actually do your job as a high ranking government official and not end up breaking a few laws.

The problem is once said law-breaking becomes widely reported and results in State Department and FBI inquiries, where do you go from there? How can they come back with a recommendation not to prosecute Clinton, but yet they vigorously prosecute people like Aaron Swartz?

However, I do disagree strongly with you that if charges are pressed it has anything to do with her gender. If it were John Kerry who had been SoS when Clinton was, operating kerryemail.com, and he was now running for President, I think we would be in exactly the same position.
Their large clientele is all sorts of spamming services. I receive tons of messages daily (currently ATT but Sprint before) for different type of products and services, mostly work by completing surveys. Everytime I trace number down - its Twilio. And their spam complaint team never answer to my complains, so unfortunately as long as spammers can use their services, they will be making money.

On the good side, I use their services anytime I need to "confirm my identity through a text message".

I think its impossible to determine whether a cellphone is a real number or Twilio number so it always works! I have a cash prepaid Visa card that I can purchase a Twilio number for $1 and have a text message with confirmation code come to my throwaway email address. Well worth a dollar for almost complete anonymity!!
Nassim Taleb talks about this a tautology that is reflective of this concept in Antifragile -- basically says that technologies that have been around for "x" years are likely to remain in use for another "x" years. Think about the wheel. Or paper. Or (as cited above) COBOL. Interesting food for thought. I use this when talking to folks who insist that client-side file storage is going away (e.g. "but everything is going to move to the cloud!"). Explicit filenames on the desktop have been around for decades -- and are likely to remain a fundamental part of our system structures for a long time to come (though are likely to be joined by documents stored in the cloud).

Arguable. I am observing my wife pitching a business to local mainland Chinese investors at the moment. It's not all that different, though I would argue less polished and critically the VC does not take the attitude "Compress thy worth in to the revealed number of minutes, or forever wallow in thy toils". Instead, the VC is approached through a series of interactions over time: mediated concept pitch, document submission, then culminating in face to face meetings.

Sorry but this was an example of how a real time feed on twitter can be informative in a way that a long form piece could not. A summary of the trial would not be the same as the minutiae that she was able to convey. It was done really well. If all you get is long form from New Yorker or Le Monde, you're missing out.
Was the hold Office format hidden? It was delightfully obtuse and even obfuscated IMO, no doubt about that, but not impenetrable, and you can find the docs describing the file format on Microsoft's site now. Could you not get them 10-15 years ago?

No, if I background and nohup something, it ought to stay there until or unless I kill it or it exits.

What it means to log off is to end the session you're in. A desktop session would end all the windows and systray-type stuff you're running, a terminal session would end the shell. but any processes you have explicitly daemonised or nohup'd should carry on.

Maybe you have a headless linux box that you want to set some command-line music player playing on, why should you need to keep the terminal open to keep the music playing?
But if you're using accounts in "public" (like in the office) computers, aren't you trading an unlikely bruteforce for a single point of failure: your password manager, who's also in the cloud? Unless you also use 2FA on the password manager and there's no way for a compromised OS to copy your entire (unlocked) password manager DB. Oh god, I went too far.
All your organic material would be contaminated by toxic material by the time it gets to the plant. People throw out all sorts of things...leaking batteries, car oils and fluids, electronics, and even salts wouldn't be great when talking about using it as compost.

I haven't seen e-dreams but the documentary sounds somewhat similar to Riot On which is actually from 2004 I believe. It is about a company called Riot Entertainment that took in millions in funding from a bunch of high profile sources, made a ton of fairly dubious decisions before imploding.

The Perils of Writing a Provocative Email at Yale
If that's the case, then everyone who presents a legitimate claim in court is part of the problem. It's not like there's some alternative to the legal system he could've used to address his grievances. Moreover, opting out of using the legal system does nothing to improve matters for others.

This was not some meritless nuisance suit, as should be evident by the fact that he won.

The broader problem is when people do things like spam settlement offers for less than the cost of defense, or the fact that the legal system is so expensive to operate to begin with. But none of these can rightfully be blamed on Bolea, so your analogy is simply faulty. There's no "abuse" here to begin with: he had a valid legal claim and won on the merits in court.

It is telling that as much as you wax poetic about abusing the court system, you failed to acknowledge that Gawker is the one who violated a court order here. I mean, if winning a meritorious case is what you count as "abuse" of the legal system, exactly how do you rate that?
But has the warning ever said why you should complete the course? I always assumed (until recently) this was to prevent reinfection, not resistance.

Stern warnings with no information about possible consequences is heavily lambasted in movies, yet we repeat this behavior with medicine and expect different results.

If you tell someone not to do something and don't tell them why not, and the consequences aren't otherwise clear, expect them to do what you said not to do.
I've seen that a few times over a decade ago on a couple multiuser boxen at a university. As you suggest, someone simply wrote a custom script that killed off jobs for a few reasons. It cause problems, of course, especially if you didn't now about the server's limitations. However, in that specific situation - A shared server with hundreds of active[1] sessions - it was justified.

What I find strange about systemd tying processes to an active session is that was something that was only needed in multiuser situations. The systemd advocates (and others) keep telling me that Linux isn't really multiuser anymore as justification for various incompatible changes. In the case of single user desktop (including netbook, tablet, etc) systems there's no need to kill off processes.

[1] if you count idling in Pine as "active"

You will find that Ember and Ember CLI are built on top of well-architected primitives; it's not that these things are hidden, it's just that understanding them isn't required to get started.
There are other problems. There are doctors that give antibiotics for obviously viral infections, just to give the patients some assurance.

There are third world countries that don't care and will not follow any of those rules. Also foreign prison systems, particularly in Russia, which breed TB.

Then there are people that are prescribed low doses of antibiotics for things like acne. I imagine that's a huge risk more than all the other things, taking it every single day.

And, as others have mentioned, agriculture uses about 50% of the world's supply of antibiotics IIRC, and that's not really safe.

Your reformulation of my claims is inaccurate.

Beyond that, I cannot refute an argument when none was presented.
conspiracy theory.
Don't you feel like that's a little melodramatic? I mean they created open source software and forced exactly zero distro's or people to use it.

I feel like every time I read about something with systemd someone is acting like there is a gun to their head to use it. If your distro of choice _chose_ to use systemd then your beef is with them forcing it on you...not systemd devs. They made an init system - your distro maintainers are the ones who decided it was the superior choice.
One of the biggest Bitcoin startups just took 'Bitcoin' out of its Twitter bio
Ask HN: Hit-and-run during an Uber ride
Hey HN,

I was involved in a hit-and-run while in Uber on May 19th. My driver ignored my request to take the highway and went onto a local street, where it wasn't the best part of town. He was driving pretty slow, at around 30mph, when another car drove out of a ground level public parking lot at a very high speed and hit my ride on the front right corner. The car that hit us backed out and drove away before I even realized what happened. My ride's bumper fell out and it was smoking a lot, and I had hit the right side of my body pretty hard on the door and the left side of my face on the back of the front seat (I was sitting in the back on the right side). It was raining and I was shaking a lot and really didn't want to stand on the street where there were a lot of drunk people yelling at us, so I grabbed another Uber and left the scene.

I did report the accident to Uber right away on the app, took photos and videos of it, and thought they were going to contact me. They have only responded on the app saying their insurance would contact me in 2-3 business days but it's been a week and I haven't heard from them. I got bruises, external and internal, as well as a minor concussion. It's been hurting more but I currently don't have an insurance (life of an early stage startup founder...) and haven't gotten it checked yet.

What are the best next steps?

Thanks!
Oracle is evil.
Okay, and if it doesn't? I'm using the trial right now.
Certainly not everyone. There's a whole host of people who are angry about systemd the project primarily because of the (maybe misunderstood) behavior and communication from systemd the development team.

Personally I don't see what everyone is so upset about here. As pointed out by message 15, they've simply changed the default behavior and provided a long-opt setting to restore the old behavior if required; the hundreds or thousands of people who don't closely follow systemd will just be inconvenienced temporarily until they figure out wtf is going on, then they are back in business. And, maybe next time they'll pay closer attention.

Anyway I'm sure there will be a systemd-mux soon enough where you can declaratively define your long-running post-logout processes and register them via muxctl or some other existing sd-bus client.
I think this is actually a useful change in default behavior for server environments, which comprise the vast majority of Linux installations.

Being able to assure by default that all of a user's spawned processes are terminated when the user logs out is a much more secure default behavior than the opposite. This means if I disable a user in LDAP and force the user to log out, I don't have to worry about lingering processes that might be malicious or pose some sort of threat to my server or data.

Keep in mind that there is a switch in logind to enable lingering that you can enable if you don't like it.

Besides, the release notes provided the workaround in line, so that interested users wouldn't have to hunt for a solution.
Please enlighten the rest of us with what the more plausible explanations are.
Personally, I'll stick to a rule I found very valuable with the first dot-com bubble: don't touch a stock until the company has had 4 quarters of profitability. Simple rule. Amazing how companies these days never pass that filter.
For most development server use-cases, it's pretty terrible though. Screen is how a lot of people work.

I guess it depends what one thinks is representative of a hello world. His first print out of the literal "hello world" may be down that far, but in terms of "classical" hello world "standards" (just based off what hello world apps have traditionally looked like), the section I linked is more analogous in my opinion. It shows react operational and rendering.

If the bar is a yelp clone (which is already contrary to what a hello world is), then sure, maybe page 93 is more apt. But...you're building a yelp clone.
For something that already looks like it should be drawn with vectors, maybe. One thing to remember is that if an image is made up of points, those points can be put in order and encoded as a one number pixel offset from the previous point.

For a vector to encode a sky gradient you would have to have a shape and a specific falloff that blends into another shape and falloff to create the gradient.

There's no way for them to jump domains prokaryotes to eukaryotes. It's just biologically implausible. Phage are very narrow spectrum and coevolve with their hosts. They're all over our environment and have been since just about the dawn of life.

Hypothetically, I guess you could accidentally sterilize your gut flora, but again: they aren't broad spectrum.
