Rather than talking about "culture fit" it's more helpful to be specific about what behaviors are causing problems. The complaints you made sound like a good reason to improve enforcement of various laws and tax collection. If a person commits a crime, the criminal should be punished; the criminal's neighbor need not be exiled.

How is it that the Comodo CEO kept assuming Let's Encrypt and ISRG is a business, when it isn't? It's like he's fixated on that assumption and is dragging everyone else into it.

Further, the last time I read through things about trademarks, my understanding is that they don't work the way some of the people posting say it does. Trademarks are influenced by whether it is a distinguishing mark or not. You can lose trademark protection if it comes into common use. Once registered, you have to keep defending it as a distinguishing mark. So I'm not sure where the "paralegal" in that forum thread is coming up with the argument that it somehow works like a "first-to-file" -- the person who possesses the paperwork possesses the right.

Maybe my understanding is incorrect. If it isn't off though, I can see their lawyers saying, Comodo really doesn't have much of a case (but it'd still eat up a lot of time and resources a small non-profit won't have).
Apparently US thinks their laws apply in the whole world. Team America world police is not a joke.
I tried to reproduce to file some bugs, but the docs Ron linked to and the datastore_test.py[1] they in turn link to don't do "import webtest", so I guess the docs have been updated recently.

A quick search suggests webtest is part of Pylons[2]. But Pylons isn't listed as a built-in third-party library[3]. So I'm not sure if there's anything to fix.

people who were made worse off by integration with the EU were ignored

Correction: they were made worse off by their own government. The EU is an easy scapegoat, but the EU did not close down the mines or manufacturing plants.
Even if you forgive them for this, there's plenty of other reasons to dislike Comodo.

You're also talking about them being able to perfectly support every modern piece of USB/PCI-e/etc connected hardware, which is no small feat even for the market leader. For comparison, I've never had these problems you describe since installing Windows 10. How can you be sure your success with Ubuntu isn't just good luck?

Whether or not data are biased depends on what you want to measure. If you are trying to measure the arrest rate, then the arrest rates are an unbiased predictor. If you are trying to measure the true crime rate, then the arrest rates are a biased predictor.

I certainly agree that racially motivated arrests are a large issue, and should be dealt with. Avoiding misinterpreting data is a widespread issue that in these cases happens to have prejudicial consequences.
> What is more plausible? That millions of British citizens don’t actually know what the European Union is

This is very plausible. Look at the terrible UK newspaper coverage of the EU (so poor that the EU needed a mythbusting page[1]).

Ask a few British people if they know what bits of the EU do what.

Add to that the misinformation coming from political parties over the past few decades, and especially from the Leave / Remain campaigns over the past couple of weeks. There are people who voted who honestly think that it would reduce the number of migrants (It won't).

> The majority of people voted to leave the EU and to regain independence.

The older generation voted for it, the youth voted against, and it barely passed, so the old people just created a future the younger generation doesn't want; this is a terrible outcome. The Brexit just eliminated the right of free travel and work across all of the EU for the upcoming generation, they aren't happy about that. You've just shot yourselves in the foot as a nation.
Let's Encrypt offers something for free that Comodo charges money for. They are a competitor, even if they don't make money.

I think Comodo was crazy here, but I can totally understand why they see Let's Encrypt as a threat.
That's not what a representative democracy looks like. In a representative democracy, every citizen has equal power to have a say in how the country runs, but they loan that power to people that they believe will represent their interests. To illustrate what's wrong with the EU model of representative democracy, let's use an analogy... imagine you're a football manager and you choose 11 players to play a game of football. If those players then chose other players to play on their behalf, you'd have something to say about it, right? It's the same thing with a democracy, the loan of power is only designed to be shared with the person or group you pick to do the job, they shouldn't have the right to give up that power to let someone else run the show. If the role of the Commissioners was merely that of assistants then I could accept that, but these unelected people are at the centre of how the EU functions, and have greater control of the direction of the EU than the elected officials. Do you not see any problems with that?
> The upper middle class think that everyone who works with their hands is a failure, and are willing to believe the worst about them.

This is just as stupid a generalisation as 'all brexiters are stupid'.
Many cars share the same or fairly close wheel base.

Sure an SUV and a mini sedan won't but those are extremes.

Considering how many different car models use the same platform even when they are from different manufacturers since many of those are owned by the same parent company these days there is probably enough overlap to put slightly different care models over the same placeholder.
ofc, I was strictly speaking about the GC algorithm.
It's not going to be a matter of punishment. This almost sets negotiation back to square one.
There are A LOT of effects in this that needs to be taken into account. Anything that's reciprocal currently (e.g. access to healthcare for Britons in Spain and for Spaniards in UK) is going to evaporate and will need to be reevaluated.

Now, the UK has clearly stated they don't like some things like free movement of people. The point of getting out of the EU is not to do a copy/paste of the current agreements and sign them in a week. The UK (not the EU) has decided to cancel everything and start from scratch because they don't feel like they could get to a comfortable situation inside the EU.

Even with the best of intentions, negotiating this kind of complex inter-state treaties take years. And, understandably, there will be extra care and friction because the UK has already got out once. Meanwhile, all the benefits are not going to be present.

I, sincerely, don't think we should think this in terms of "punishment", but if someone gets out of an agreement and immediately starts to renegotiate (more favourable) terms, it's reasonable to expect the negotiation to be hard...

Basic PHP Tutorials
Hi, I want to teach people PHP and am making two youtube series at the minute, a basics of PHP one (link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLzE8BBMbQ4) and a Coding a PHP forum tutorial (up tomorrow!). I wanted to ask you guys if you could give me any feedback please? All would be hugely appreciated!
You mean, every transaction causes an on-chain ethereum change? That seems to miss the point?
Exactly right. I'm a heat gun, pan and wooden spoon user. I tried a dedicated home roaster and found it slow and unreliable. Fresh coffee and and Cheaper too. At 10ish years roasting it's firmly part of the routine now. My Silvia is at something like 13,000 made coffees now.
It's available today if you are willing to upgrade to a preview build of Windows. I use it often and I must say, it works pretty much exactly the way you'd expect a native Ubuntu system to work. Some notable issues are a lack of pty support and no X server (although it's possible to use a third-party one.)
That's not really the heart of the issue. He seems to be taking it as a point of honor, as if someone is stealing his business model ... but LE isn't a business.

Comodo might or might have innovated a 90-day free trial. But let's say for a moment that Comodo did invent the 90-day free SSL trial. The intent is for the promotional purpose of purchasing paid products. LE has no paid tiers, and the primary motivation is to help the internet get encrypted, not to sell certificates. What's ridiculous isn't the idea that a 90-day cycle got "stolen", but that the Comodo CEO persistently thought of ISRG as a business competitor when they are not even in business. (No one is fighting you, dude).

What I don't get is why so many people kept playing into that erroneous assumption of his instead of calling him on it.
Hi Peters:

Thank you for taking time doing this public service. I really appreciate.

I got my green cards 10 years ago. I have been working on my startup project for the past 3 years. I didn't make any money and didn't pay taxes. Now I want to be american citizen. in the naturalization form, there is a section for past working places and tax paying history. What am I supposed to do with it?
i wish all of their APIs were this nice.
When you say "living abroad", do you mean you have a local job, get paid in the local currency, pay rent and bills in the local currency, etc.? Which you do all through a US bank? If so, what are you paying for international transaction fees? Surely much more than using a local debit card.

> I can still go home whenever I want. I can go to one of the many embassies around the world and get a new passport.

There's nothing special about the US in that regard. A citizen of Germany can do the same at any German embassy, even when not a resident in Germany and therefore not paying German income taxes, and also has the right to return to Germany.
If they let their US passports expire they are still a US citizens with obligations to report tax etc.
Then the skimmers will evolve to read it.
As long as you can compromise the device it's fair game.
Sure. Is that reciprocal? Would the US extradite a US citizen from the US to eg France to face prosecution for copyright infringement?

Many of the people who voted to leave - do not know what Google is !
It actually takes effort to port a game to a different system or OS. I'm not a fan of exclusives either, but at least sometimes there is a real reason (we did not code the PS4/PC/Mac/Linux/Wii/PowerPC/32bit version), but this is an entirely artificial and arbitrary restriction.

Edit: technical reasons aside, I guess there is no difference. But at least one excuse can fall back on semi-technical reasons... This sort of exclusivity is purely for marketing and contractual reasons. It actually requires more effort to make the game exclusive than it does to make it multi "platform".
I know that after I'd spent several years working in Japan and then returned to the United States, both my written and spoken language (English, in this case) had a marked (and remarked upon) paucity of self-referential pronouns.

I'm guessing, in this case, that this is just an ESL thing.

In the year or so I've been working with Elixir, I've not had to learn a lick of Erlang besides a couple of function calls I can get at directly from Elixir.

Nor have I heard of anyone else having that issue. It's one of the reasons I enjoy it so much- I get all the performance with none of the complexity.
I disagree. Not everything need a business model. We only think that because that is normative, not because it is necessarily true.

If by "business model" you mean, "how do we keep the lights going", that's fair. However, that's not the primary mission of Let's Encrypt.
It's also worth pointing out, the newest Ecto(released this week) has features that can do multiple database calls at once, since each one is put into its own connection pool and then assembled at the end. So even rather heavy calls get effectively zeroed-out.
This is why I love nix so much.

Getting a dev environment set up with nix is the usual amount of hassle. The difference is that nothing ever works by accident. Therefore, once it does work, I know I've captured all the dependencies and configuration, and I can reproduce the environment wherever I want.
Ha! I'd heard that book was good.

I heard the phrase from my mom (Israeli, grew up in the 60s-70s). Not sure the saying is widely adopted in Israel or just she or someone agree knew read the book; apparently it rang true with people's experiences :-P
Not to mention how poorly they treated early supporters after the buyout

You're kidding right? Oculus was very generous to early supporters. Name one other Kickstarter project that shipped backers the full retail version of the finished product in addition to their original purchase.

Yeah there was a slight delay, but really, original backers came out pretty good on the deal.

Disclosure: I was an early backer. My free retail Rift arrived a couple of weeks ago, and I'm happy.
After a 10% reduction in real income for the Brits just one day after the referendum? Fat chance.
>the complexity of law...makes it very difficult to second-guess its outcomes.

Yes. And, this is coupled with the government's determination to exploit the letter of the law against its own citizenry; searching for loopholes and generous interpretations that clearly circumvent Constitutional intent.

The government is essentially attempting to establish a parallel set of precedents for new, technology-enabled capabilities. This "hacking happens" rationale is incredible. And, asserting that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy on an IP address is equally stunning.

At the end of the day, it is deference to the spirit of the Constitutional limitations placed on government that should guide the outcomes of these complex cases. That single litmus test would have a powerful clarifying effect on the adjudication process and on our ability to discern the validity of outcomes.
RAII is using one C++ misfeature (destructors) to work around another misfeature (inability to do cleanup when leaving a lexical scope). Go has a far more elegant solution to the latter; if you're not familiar with the defer statement, check it out.

2) Withdrawing its demands from Apple after significant backlash

3) Asking for the ability to inspect browser history without a warrant

> I'm sure it's lovely but it's not cold brew. Cold brew is less acidic because it's not heated; it's also said to have a more "true" taste because it's not extracted with hot water.

The way I understand this is that you are making a point that a hot brew will somehow increase your ulcer?
My experience is entirely based around using the service through their REST API, so probably not relevant to your case specifically, but perhaps useful for others. $60/yr for unlimited is impossible to beat for my use case (>4TB of data with potential for downloading most of that).

The REST API is dodgy at the best of times. About 1 in 4 requests fail with random errors (Internal Server Error, Timeout, TooManyRequests, Temporarily Unavailable, etc). The API has an aggressive authentication scheme that requires re-auth every 5 minutes or so. Detecting when re-auth is needed is done by waiting for an Unauthorized error on any request. At least, that's what the spec says. What actually happens is that it returns 401 sometimes, and other times it returns a generic 4xx or 5xx class error with the error's message mentioning that the auth token has expired (sometimes the error message even says 401 Unauthorized, even though the actual error code isn't 401).

Upload speed is quite bad, in part due to the constant errors requiring re-tries and backoff, but mostly because the total response round-trip time is slow. This is particularly cumbersome for many small uploads.

Recently I've been getting waves of TooManyRequests errors, where it will only return TooManyRequests for a day, or even a whole week, making the service unavailable to me (currently in contact with them to see if this can get fixed).

So in other words, I've been using the service for about 5 months and managed to upload only ~1TB of data to the drive (on a 20Mb/s up line). From what I hear the official client suffers similar issues in terms of sync-ing speed.

For $60/yr and no real alternative for me, I feel I'm getting what I pay for. I just wish the API wouldn't completely die for days on end.
IANAL but I believe that,

Any country can charge anyone as long as its laws say it has standing to do so. Having your citizens harmed is a common reason.

Yes, there are international agreements regarding copyright infringement and regarding extraditions in general. In general (and again, IANAL) I think it's common for a country to accept to extradite someone if the alleged crime is also considered a crime locally.

I have no idea regarding the latter question :)
It was one of the larger economies; as it will now be an isolated island with no automatic access to the European market, it's value will be lost to a lot of businesses.
Haskell's stack tool is aiming for something like this. All you need is the stack binary. stack will download GHC for you at a given version, and fetch your dependencies for you. The dependencies are locked to a fixed snapshot of versions. There are curated snaphots, with an LTS model that guarantees all packages in the snapshot work together, so you're insulated from package authors randomly breaking API compatibility on you, and you can upgrade to newer LTS snaphots when you're good and ready.

The right answer is that Java's generational collector supports this transaction lifetime reasonably well in many cases.
