I am no fan of Trump (in fact, I think selecting Trump is a huge problem for Republican party and he's one of the worst candidates the GOP had lately), but the post seems to be repeatedly confusing actual Trump with media myth of Trump (not uncommon among both supporters and detractors, and somewhat excusable given how much media manipulation Trump engages in).

No, Trump did not blame Obama in Orlando shooting. No, Trump is not future Hitler. No, Trump is most probably not a racist either (despite his extremely despicable and idiotic comments about Judge Curiel - but those probably are not driven by racism but rather by a primitive strategy of pre-spinning the future embarrassing loss of a class-action lawsuit). And probably not a misogynist either, despite his despicable and idiotic comments about Megyn Kelly and others, at least his record suggests otherwise.

Yes, he's rude, he's boorish, he's a pompous and shameless liar, and he is as close to a conman as one can be without being actually convicted in any criminal case. He has a lot of real flaws. Too many for my taste (see above). Inventing imaginary ones is both unnecessary and does not makes anything better. One does not beat Trump by going down to his level. He is a champion at his level, it's not where you have a chance to beat him.

P.S. And no, there's no risk in criticizing Trump, at least not higher than expressing any common political opinion. In fact, right now there's a measurable risk of supporting Trump - I've seen people beaten up for visiting Trump rally in the very city I live in - but if you do it over the internet, the risk is small. Though there has been personal destruction campaigns waged over the internet, I have yet to see one waged against someone for criticizing Trump. In fact, most of the press will be doing it with extreme vigor for next 5 months at least, and if Trump wins - for next 4 years with vigor not seen since the Bush times.

Which for me may be one of the few positive things in Trump winning - at least we will not have anymore journalists drooling over the president and describing how they get something warm running down their leg each time they see him (or her, as it may happen in the alternative case). That's not what the press is supposed to be doing in a working democracy. The press should bite, not lick the hands of power.

> Quick tip: do not implement custom scrollbars.

Wasn't this part of the motivation for Java? I seem to recall reading something about the heinousness of debugging a half dozen different platform-specific scrollbar implementations...

Thanks for all the info, this is awesome. :)
> I don't do fresh installs very often, but when I do, it's generally because I want it to be a genuine fresh install. As such, I don't install a tool until I need it. I find that tools I once thought I absolutely needed are not tools or libraries that I use anymore.

Same. The core tools and libraries I use change more often than my development machine so when switching to a new machine it's a fun time to reassess what I need to install so I'm not carrying any baggage. I think the time automating the installation would be a net loss given how much I'd need it.

The setup required for building projects that I work on are automated using things like Vagrant so outside of that I only really need a few tools anyways.
If you can honestly say it's a shorter commute that's also a good reason to give (although I'd avoid telling them were you are going).

Absolute trash article.
I'm saying that it kind of already does. Judges are picked for a case partially at random.
Selling on eBay only makes sense in bulk, with hundreds or thousands of SKUs. I gave up selling in low volume there long ago; nowadays for phones, tablets, and watches I use Swappa, and for anything else it's Craigslist or local "online garage sale" groups on social media.

The company I left last year sells the bulk of their products on Amazon, and maybe 1/4th of their inventory (same type of products) is listed on eBay. Amazon sales are relatively smooth with much less friction per sale than eBay. It's gotten better since they went with a sales aggregator service, but they still barely break even on eBay as opposed to Amazon and physical storefront sales, when they figure in labor and time costs. When I worked there the sales personnel were able to list five or six items on Amazon in the time it took to list one item on eBay.
Does Edge implement WebRTC now?
But that has nothing to do with the "next" Gawker. I assumed the article was going to say that the Gawker owners were going to set up an unsuable company structure. Perhaps just extract all the profit out of the company every month and rely on a line of credit for expenses. Would that be workable? People could still sue you, but they wouldn't get much.
None of what you just said negates that Chrome is a notoriously bad battery hog on PC and Mac. Opera, Edge and Safari are better than Firefox and Chrome both.

It's pretty clear you don't like Microsoft, which is fine...but your opinion added nothing to the discussion, all things considered.
What do you do if you discover something wrong with the item post-transaction?
Believe it or not, unaffiliated groups can have similar names. The Judge is a member of California La Raza Lawyers Association which is entirely different and shares no common cause with the National Council of La Raza.

Racism is bad to begin with because it reduces the vast complexity of human experience, character, circumstance and rights to single, largely meaningless in the context, genetic/ethnic characteristic. Now tell me, how Sanders is not doing the same, at least partially, but substantially, saying white people can't really experience poverty?
I'm assuming you're referring to instabilities in Docker networking. I can't point to anything specific, but that's because we've seen it as an unnecessary layer of complexity, that's trying to solve a problem that most companies don't/won't have.

DNS + a load balancer is proven and stable. We have 65,536 available ports on linux, and doing port mapping to prevent conflicts across containers is trivial (Empire handles this for us). Client side service discovery is usually unnecessary for most Docker use cases (stateless services), where a load balancer is a better fit (why push load balancing to clients? Would you expect your browser to have to load balance when visiting google.com?).

I'm sure there are cases where networking overlays are a good fit, I just haven't found one yet.
Treasure Island - Stevenson
This exploit wasn't legal either. It was blatantly fraud. I've asked a lawyer for their opinion and it was a very simple question to answer. Contracts are never entirely literal and usually there are implied clauses in contracts. There is a very simple test called the "officious bystander": if there had been a neutral bystander who had asked "should we allow anyone to take $50 million dollars without our consent" then unless both parties would've said "of course!" then it isn't considered to be a clause of the contract and it is just simply fraud. The developers of theDAO wouldn't have said "of course" so it's fraud.
His point was that the transfer format should be conceptually independent of the processing. Obviously it has to be encoded in RAM in some way, but the programmer doesn't need to worry about the memory layout.
Miller multi-emit feature
I feel the exact opposite! The Dockerfile is a simple way to define my environment and it's trivial to run the app in either development, QA, or production. Throw in some of the other functionality such as being able to deploy from an image rather than having to rebuild each time, and it's been a productive addition to my toolset. I'm guessing it depends on how complex your application is, but I've found it fantastic for running Python (Flask), PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MapServer, and some other smaller applications.
As a lesson in how not to do it.
Kubernetes running on Openstack without a great deal of pain, and it's very stable. It's very usable in my experience.
LastPass and AdblockPlus are already available to insiders. Still waiting on PrivacyBadger and Ghostery for my own preference.
Mattermark Daily – Monday, June 20th, 2016
"I thought again about my early plan of a new language or writing-system of reason, which could serve as a communication tool for all different nations... If we had such an universal tool, we could discuss the problems of the metaphysical or the questions of ethics in the same way as the problems and questions of mathematics or geometry. That was my aim: Every misunderstanding should be nothing more than a miscalculation (...), easily corrected by the grammatical laws of that new language. Thus, in the case of a controversial discussion, two philosophers could sit down at a table and just calculating, like two mathematicians, they could say, 'Let us check it up ...'" --Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
After getting tired of dealing with rude hagglers on the local Craigslist-a-like, I just end up giving away used stuff now. Either hand-me-downs to family and friends or to goodwill.
Why Uber Keeps Raising Billions
No, it was fraud. I asked a lawyer, and the stealing of $50 million would not be considered a clause of the contract (it doesn't pass the officious bystander test). As much as programmers might try to remove lawyers and courts from our lives, they are vital to actually doing things with other people where you might have a difference of opinion on what a particular agreement means.
Why would you burn a perfectly good building material? Wood construction is also a stable carbon sink.
They both still need work. Opera and Edge are probably the two best touch browsers for Windows, atm.
It's fraud. It doesn't pass the officious bystander test.
I was going to quip something about meta-data, drone-strikes and automated targeting... but then I realized that the most likely immediate threat to life from AI is probably in trading and logistic algorithms. As in efficient privatization of water resources, to the point where those too poor to be a "good" market have to go without, or the possible drastic results of errors in such algorithms (eg: job massive loss as a result of bankruptcy). And then there's AI augmented health insurance - mundane things that might ultimately take human life - and perhaps no one will even notice.
Jeremy Clarkson published his bank account details in his column to back up his assertion that you can send money to a bank account but not withdraw any. However apparently anybody can set up an automatic payment from any account to any other account...
I read so many books as a child it is impossible to recommend any. I did read a book recently titled 'Absolute Zero Gravity' (Betsy Devine & Joel Cohen) Science Jokes, Quotes and Anecdotes. It is informative, historical, educational, and truly fascinating to read. For a child this can really awaken their cognitive imagination. Fiction-wise I would leave to the child to decide as that list is truly endless. The Witcher series by Sapkowski I couldn't hardly put down (the movie is a complete FAIL). One other I rather liked is titled 'The Eerie Adventures of the Lycanthrope Robinson Crusoe' by Defoe, Lovecrart, & Clines.
I think you replied to the wrong comment. Maybe you meant to reply to one upthread?
Power projection is going to be a thing.

Just like submarine launched ICBM's and Nimitz class aircraft carriers project power, so too shall a presence in orbit.

It's just not entirely clear how to enter that game yet, but it will be a game that gets played sooner or later.

I think there's probably going to be a big stare-down between 4 or 5 big players, but there's no way to guess at what's on the other side of that.
It was definitely fraud. Either it was a contract, in which case "taking $50 million without anyone's consent" doesn't pass the officious bystander test. Otherwise it wasn't a contract, so the default is still fraud (though in that case, the DAO would be the thing being defrauded rather than the investors).
Isn't there a problem of quality, here? Not all nanotubes are equal, I'm guessing especially for applications like construction. Will it be difficult to make sure the nanotubes this process creates are actually usable?

> I sold it 'for spares or repair'...complained that I had sold a faulty part..and ebay agreed so I had to refund him

Unfortunately even though eBay violated their own written policy by siding with him, this is SOP for them. They have a decades-long unwritten policy of shitting all over their sellers. This became apparent when they removed sellers' ability to leave negative or neutral feedback for buyers, which led to a huge influx of scammy buyers. eBay didn't care because more buyers means more revenue, and the sellers who had built their entire business on eBay had little choice but to stick around for the shafting.

>What in it for them?

To add to the list -- another user already mentioned funding foreign clandestine organizations. The modern day equivalents of Iran-Contra -- another theory is a government or organization that wants to undermine central banking, or global reserve currencies.
Assuming that was just a joke and they didn't actually do that and that they did report it to the site owners or a government agency that could reasonably be assumed to oversee it, I wouldn't hammer them.

If they actually do that or take steps that would make a reasonable person conclude that they actually were on their way to do that before they were caught? Then yes, hammer away.

I'm more concerned with their being a brighter line for what is and isn't unauthorized access and a safe harbor so people can't hammer anyone who simply makes them look bad by pointing out that their fly is open.

If you can fit facts of some old case to show that they were guilty in a principled way, I won't argue. I may or may not agree with the specific reading of the facts, but at least I would find that to be a principled disagreement.

My point in this exercise is to shift things from an exercise in how people feel about some particular intrusion or a person's motives which are things not likely to reach broad consensus to an exercise where we debate the specific facts of the case which reasonable people should be able to agree upon given enough information, no matter how they feel about the parties of any particular case.
I came from puppet and salt felt a good amount "lighter". I'm mostly a python developer and salt states written in pure yaml with jinja2 templates, or alternatively directly in raw python for more complex stuff feel like home.

The yaml makes it very easy to understand even if I come back to a state after months. It's just a list of things that should happen with a few template tags sprinkled in.

Not saying salt is better than puppet or friends. It's purely based on preference. I can't say anything to chef or ansible since I never tried them. Salt has a crazy active community and while there are things I don't like about it like the "name" of a state, it's still doing it's job just fine so I sticked with it.

The foundation of this entire analysis seems to have a massive miscalculation. On the 9th page, ULA puts the price of putting 1kg in LEO at ~$4000 ( or about $1820 per pound ). This estimated cost for ULA launches may be correct, but what happens to the calculations when the launch price from Earth drops, perhaps dramatically so.

SpaceX can already beat ULA's launches with their published price for throwaway Falcon 9 launches at $62M each ( $2720/kg, $1230/lb ). The Falcon Heavy drops that price even more ( $1655/kg, $750/lb ). And once we see reusable first stages in the next few years, that price could drop to as low as $1100/kg or $500/lb. Thirty years from now, the price should be well under $100/lb with new technologies and better engineering.

With these new numbers, will Lunar fuel be more cost effective than bringing it up from Earth's deep gravity well? Or will the lower launch costs the estimated Lunar fuel costs even more? No matter which way this goes, this analysis is greatly overestimated in both prices and timescales.
Edge implements ORTC, working on WebRTC 1.0 for interop.
I've started to become more and more convinced that the longer term view of the power grid is that it may no longer supply an assumed base-load. Instead every electronic device will end up having some measure of chargeable battery backup along with the building/facility the device is in. Over a day the batteries will soak up power and charge and at night they'll power the devices.

Current thinking about power grids is that power generation is cheaper at night because people are using it less. But in a solar powered system, power generation during the day is essentially free, it's the capture devices (and storage devices) that cost anything.

This notion helps the power companies share and distribute the storage costs while making the direct users of the power responsible for sizing their storage costs.

Safari doesn't run on Windows (anymore, and it wasn't efficient). Edge doesn't run on OS X.

I think it was fair. They showed browsers on Windows. I just wish more people would realize just how bad Chrome is at power efficiency so that Goigle might pretend to care.
I know what you are talking about intelligence, I'm disagreeing with your description and saying it doesn't capture the advantage intelligence provides, but more accurately captured what expertise provides. Now, I'm not clear whether it's just a bad articulation of what you are trying to illustrate or if your underlying concept is wrong, but your description doesn't, IMO, accurately portray the difference that intelligence creates.
Based on a poor design? according to who? It's the most advanced blockchain out there by far and wide! This was a single contract with a flaw, it's like saying the whole internet is doomed because some website got a SQL injection.
Actually the tests in the post linked from the Edge blog we're on current stable bits; Brandon's post details additional improvements coming soon. In our testing we're considerably more efficient than Opera.

Notably, Opera turned on their (off-by-default) ad blocker for their power efficiency measurements.
I doubt it would ever work in practice, but in theory this kind of thing could be solved by having both parties deposit an additional say 20% of purchase price to an escrow account. So buyer deposits 120% and seller deposits 20%. Once buyer confirms receipt, 120% is sent to seller and 20% back to buyer.

If there is a problem, buyer can send the item back to the seller, and once seller confirms (re-)receipt, they each get back their original contributions. However, if buyer claims the item wasn't received and seller claims to have sent it, the money remains in escrow. So the side that's lying doesn't benefit. They actually lose 20%. And therefore there's no rational reason to attempt this scam.

However, in the real world there are several problems. The person being "scammed" would be out 120% of the value (whether they're the buyer or the seller), which wouldn't fly with most people, even if the scam is theoretically unlikely. It would also require significantly greater trust of Amazon. Something like this might work with hyper-rational actors using something like a bitcoin multi-sig address, but not for Amazon.

Which means I'm back to not seeing any perfect solution to this kind of problem.
You are an innocent believer in the fairness (or efficiency) of an unfettered free market, which is, today, obviously wrong. It's called "Market Fundamentalism" in the field of economics, and hasn't been an accepted ideal since the 70s.

> 2. People on Craigslist are flaky. I have no idea what compels someone to email a seller with interest, schedule a time to view an item, and then just not show up, but they do it all the time. Why even bother?

I was moving and had to sell a lot of stuff fast. I scheduled around 6 people to come look at a futon. 0 showed. Even after I offered to give it away for free. Huge waste of time.
People compare Trump to Hitler because they both employed racism as a campaign tactic. Read a book of German history in the 1930's. Hitler rose to power on the (false) claim that Jews had an unfair advantage in post-war German society, and should be eliminated. Trump claims that Mexicans have an unfair advantage in American society and should be deported. What else is there to understand?
So... You think MS should have run all of their tests on macOS?
This is very much the wrong way to approach storage (and sorry, for being so blunt, not sure how else to say it!).

Docker has support for a wide-array of storage solutions, everything from the various providers solutions (ebs, s3, gce storage, azure storage), to vsphere, netapp, scaleio, various distributed block solutions, nfs etc...

You should _not_ be changing the way you handle storage just because you are in a container. Use the tools you already have.
If you need HA on a database, use the built-in replication service available on just about every database product in existence.
If you really want distributed/shared storage, see the list above.

Containers are not black boxes.
They're not "solved", but they're made 3 to 6 orders of magnitude more effort:
