> knowing that they will be saved

I think this is a big reason why Brexit in the UK and Trump in the US have such large backing. Not saying I agree with either of them -- but people feel ignored, and the establishment's response is to call them ignorant.

If we decide we need to "save the majority from themselves" is it still a democracy?

Honest question: At some point, why even bother with C++? The streams library is a mess - don't use it. Exceptions are too slow - don't use 'em. Can't have exceptions, can't have RAII, MI is bad in 99% of cases - avoid. At some point, you're left with "C with classes", maybe with some templates sprinkled here and there, and nice map/list/string implementations. Ok fine. So is this still C++?

And if it is, and if it's exactly what you need, and C is still not good enough, maybe there's a use-case for either a new language, call is --C++, or some kind of "C++ without the bad stuff" accepted standard to drive the entire eco-system forward with well-defined features, boundaries, libraries, tools, all that good stuff?
That was the notion that I was operating under as well, as a content creator, and got torn to shreds so I backed out of this thread mostly.

I disagree. I have encountered many managers whose main problem was expecting that people could read their minds and/or valuing ambiguity so they could change their minds frequently. One of them referred to this as a positive, the ability to "operate in the grey zone". I call it the "I don't know WTF I'm doing zone". The poor communication makes it seem like the fault lies in the subordinates

Cool, I'll repost here.

I having trouble wrapping my mind around how this might possibly work.

It is mentioned that "all that it takes" is launching the application on the phone.

Then what ?

All that is shown on the video is a static screenshot.

Assuming this application is able to generate video-out through USB or communicate via USB with another CPU, without OS or the phone manufacturer's support, will this application have access to the other applications on the Android phone ? How ?

I'm not familiar with Android, but if I'm not mistaken on iOS this would be impossible. Doesn't each app run in it's own sandbox, only visible by the smartphone OS ?

Interesting personal anecdote on salt.

After our marriage, my wife's mother shared her precious cookbook with her and asked her to copy/translate it. My wife did so and she used that as the basis of her cooking since.

There was one important component of the recipes that my mother in law had neglected to add since it was second nature to her.

"Add salt to taste."

I was always confounded whenever I tasted the food that my wife made from one of those recipes and when I tasted the exact same food when my mother in law made it.

It was only a while later that we found out what the cause of the inconsistency was.
"Reduce flex time or work from home: The logic on doing this was questioned at the time, but working with your colleagues in a confined space has proven to be beneficial (Pixar, Yahoo, almost any start up)"

Pixar and startups work well not because they are in a confined space but because they have a good company culture that allows people to do their job. Things like reducing flex time and remote are just surface changes that avoid addressing the deeper issues. My company does the same: At every step people are discouraged from making changes. Management complains about lack of innovation so they do "innovation days" and put up innovation posters. But they still squash any good ideas people have because the next deadline is always two weeks away so there never is time to think about things.

As for the CRTC, I spent a bit of time looking them up and I have to admit it didn't make me feel particularly confident in their ability to make anything happen. That said, I'm happy to be proven wrong.

>It'd be better if sodomy and [flee from] slavery were legal for people who could pay the bribe, but prosecuted in the cases of poor people and racial/religious/political minorities (aka people the official doesn't like and can't do anything for them)?

Compared to it being totally illegal for everybody and 100% enforced, yes, it would be better.

Compared to fully killing anti-sodomy laws and slavery, of course, not.

But in the real world, totally changing a law takes far more time (and influence) that merely being able to leverage some wiggle room/bribe/whatever.

>It's a legitimate point of view to be an advocate for kleptocracy, but it's honestly rare to see one in the wild.

> Not leaving will create a moral danger. Wouldn't it?

I'm not seeing it.

> It will make it too easy for people to vote according with their guts knowing that they will be saved.

Sure, it will make people take non-binding single-issue policy referenda issued as a sop to get people to vote for a party in a general election despite disagreement on an important point with the policies of that party far less seriously.

OTOH, the main effect that has is making such non-binding referenda far less likely to actually be offered in the first place, forcing people to seek to consider the whole of their policy preferences in general elections, resulting in governments that better represent the public will including the way it balances priorities between preferences in different policy areas.

> It will also empower anti-EU parties in other countries in EU.

So far, I've heard people argue that:
(1) Britain voting to stay in the EU, given the special deals it already had on top of the special deals that were negotiated condition on the Brexit vote failing would empower anti-EU parties in other countries in the EU,
(2) Britain voting to leave the EU, independently of what happens later, would empower anti-EU parties in other countries in the EU,
(3) Britain actually leaving the EU would empower anti-EU parties in other countries in the EU,
(4) Britain not actually leaving the EU after voting for Brexit would empower anti-EU parties in other countries in the EU,
(5) Britain getting favorable treatment in negotiations for post-EU status if it left the EU would empower anti-EU parties in other countries in the EU,
(6) Britain getting unfavorable treatment in negotiations for post-EU status if it left the EU would empower anti-EU parties in other countries in the EU

I tend to discount such claims when presented without a credible argument to how they would do so compared to alterantives...
I would gather that your "myriad other characteristics" are really just policy disagreements, not "hate". I think you can disagree on policy with someone without hating them. Of course, that would require you to actually debate ideas, which I don't think you want to do - especially when it's so easy to throw a label around and end discussion.

Only a developer could ask such a question!!!! I'm joking :-P

From a sysadmin standpoint sudo is the right choice. Sudo is an established, well defined, (mostly) bug-free program, designed to specifically for that task. It's tool for the job. You can create specific policies[1] keep track of who, what, when, allow this and deny that.

I reckon that this case is a bit tricky though and most people just use sudo to get 'root', so if you're going to do just that, then I guess it's the same.

We may not be a big customer to you and we may only send a few thousand transactional emails per month but even on the "essentials" paid package we expect a service level that is usable.

Suggesting that it's ok to wait a few days for our transactional email to deliver is frankly offensive. By definition transactional email is expected to be delivered in minutes if not seconds - days? That's got to be a joke?

This response is enough in its own to tip us into make a switch to an alternative supplier. It may be of no interest to SendGrid if an "essentials" customer leaves but if this is how you treat them you may find that more than a few do.

Frankly this entire situation has been mismanaged. As email "experts" you should have been able to migrate you customers over to the new IPs one by one as the IPs send level increases.

Finally suggesting that as this only effects some of your customers and so doesn't warrant being on the status page is just you making excuses to lie to your customers and hide the fact you have a serious issue. If this was a planed move with any possibility of delay you should have notified the effected customers before hand. We only discovered the problem when our customers stopped receiving emails and our support team saw an increase in support requests.

Yes. They got burned badly for 'breaking their promises' after being elected into the coalition.

What nobody seems to have realised is that they didn't have anything close to a majority, so of course they weren't able to completely prevent the Tories from doing everything.

It's a shame IMO because what we clearly need right now is a Centralist party, especially with Labour going further and further to the Left under Corbyn.

Well, as far as brigading goes, the violation is actually doing it, not linking to the wrong sub. However, the rules aren't enforced evenly. Some subs have been threatened with shutdowns for allowing any links, even np links. Some subs openly allow links and disallow np links, with no retaliation.

Doxxing is a similar issue. However, were you banned by a mod or shadowbanned by an admin? Because mods can mod their sub as they want. Consistency goes out the window, which is good and bad. If you were shadowbanned though, that's a whole different story.
They did pretty badly in the last general election, probably as punishment for their time in the coalition. They didn't have many seats to start with but they have even less now.

However since the last general election we have seem what the Conservative Party can do when they are unrestrained and this has helped the LibDems make their argument that they were actually a significant player in the coalition government. There is likely to be a decent recovery in the next general election for them, particularly if they go in with a remain manifesto pledge. I doubt it would be enough for a majority government but possibly enough to force a coalition, which would not guarantee a remain deal and could result in them being punished in the subsequent general election.

Glad to see more articles like this. I find tons of writings about stateless containers, but hardly any about best practices for stateful containers. Just yesterday I was going over the Django tutorial in the official Docker docs. Everything there made sense except that it completely ignores how to handle "media" folders (i.e. the Django folder that, among other things, contains user uploads). Yes, the database is in a volume so I am glad that survives creating/destroying the postgres container, but I kind of need the other files, too.
I would say the answer is to read profound books, and then move. I was in a situation where I drank continuously for several years because I was stuck in a dead-end job in a dead-end town. The real thing to do is 2-fold:

1) figure out what the big story is, not the piddly immediate stuff; watch Michael Wood histories, read Carl Sagan, read Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything". Get interested in hobbies that will link you with NATURE and the universe at large. Examples might be SURFING, HIKING, ASTRONOMY, GEOLOGY, FIELD_BIOLOGY. These are important because it snaps you out of the anthropocentrism that the myth of culture forces on us. You MUST snap out of the delusional narrative society forces upon you in order to _really_ make sense of your life. This means that you must read enough and collect enough data to weave your own narrative to replace the off-the-shelf one most people use. There are no easy versions of this. You must do it yourself for it to work, and so that you can attain true mental and spiritual freedom. I am not suggesting that you should become some out of touch hippy, but instead gain a broader perspective. You can still go into business. Your widened perspective will actually aid you instead of making things more difficult for you. Steve Jobs for instance, went to India in the late 1970s seeking audience with a famed Guru. It's a good strategy. Better than being a drone.

2) Move!! Firstly, plan your move; consider your options carefully. While you are researching, save up your money. There are a few places left in the U.S. (I refuse to say which. It should be pretty obvious once you look) and in the world where people are not totally congested in against one-another, where people do not abuse consumerism and become flatulated and obese, where soulless corporatism does not rule the minds and hearts of the local residents. I won't tell you where they are, because frankly, I don't want anyone to move there and ruin the tiny enclaves of peacefulness that are left. Besides, you have to find them for yourself for it to work. Some people are mountain people; some people are ocean people. You decide which one is for you.
If you're going through all your music and converting everything to Opus, don't. It's another lossy codec and you will lose more sound quality (it will sound worse). Keep what you have. If you're really concerned over sound quality: use something lossless, like FLAC. If you're concerned over space: storage is insanely cheap, and is getting cheaper.

I see, so when people don't vote "the right way" it's because they are stupid, or throwing a tantrum. Good, that makes for good debates. The media and the "elite" in the UK tried that for a year and we saw the outcome.
