You can say that, and won't even be wrong, but saying that an actor is not control of its actions is not the same as saying that they must not be restricted in their ability to act upon others.

Ramnode. Their prices are good and their support is phenomenal. I've always gotten replies to my tickets within minutes, often from Nick Adams himself (Ramnode's CEO.)

A few examples:

- Whenever a new release of OpenBSD comes out, I send a request for them to add the new install media, and they make it available ASAP.

- I switched from OpenVZ to KVM after a couple months and having paid for a year of the OpenVZ service, and they put my remaining credit toward the new service.

- I completely hosed my machine one time and had them restore from backup. Took a while because they wanted to be double-extra-sure of what I wanted, but it was overall a quick and painless process.

I don't know how things will change as they grow, but right now they just seem like a good company, run by people who care about the quality of their product and the satisfaction of their customers.

This is how it works in FreeBSD too. At least that's how I do it. beadm is not mandatory, nor is used "by default", but it is there, it's the only way I update.

So I see no advantage here.

What happens, if you get one of these paroles, but your business falls apart for whatever reason within the first two years?

There doesn't appear to be any specific language in the actual document outlining the rules changes, but it does say DHS would retain the right to terminate the parole at any time without prior notice and in DHS' discretion (pg. 84 in the PDF).

Looks like a little bit of gray area, unless there is some language in there about the parolees responsibilities to maintain the conditions under which the parole was granted and consequences if the parolee does not. I couldn't see anything like that during a quick read through the document.
it's easy to say that anyone should have had a written agreement in such circumstances, but the first 4 months of any start up are likely to be hectic and there's no time to take out for this kind of thing. Especially when you think you're working with your "friends".

Nevertheless, a very clear verbal agreement should have been made. I know this cant be enforced without proof, but it does mean than those involved know the counter-parties also know what they agreed to. it makes things harder to deny.

The reason being that, it would be madness to betray each other, just as things start to work. A thing started is far from finished, and they will need everyone and more.

Most important of all, it would seem the tech guy legally owns what he has built, in the absence of a proper agreement. Even with a backup copy of this tech, the remaining people aren't likely to be able to extend it easily.

The tech guy should consider forming his own startup with the tech he has made.

There's no secret cabal. These are the assholes and idiots the idiot masses elect. If they really do think that drugs are bad and only bad people do them, they're even dumber than I thought, but I don't think they do. They think, this is how I can repay the police for their donations, the CIA/DEA/NSA (or equivalents), and most of all myself. Basically, they are fine with hurting and killing others to profit themselves. Even when presented with clear evidence, these scumbags will never admit they are wrong just like the scumbag cops mentioned in this article. We have legalized and decriminalized drugs in enough countries and states that thinking the above not only goes against over a hundred years of experience with addictive substances, but goes against observable reality (facts) in various places over the last 40++ years. These people are so far gone, they're delusional. It's these drug warriors that deserve to spend the rest of their lives in jail, or like the main police man in this story, suffering from PTSD.

Yeah, good point. The weird part is that it almost introduces a new thread, in that it introduces a new flow of control (and, if you ask for it, a new stack), but it doesn't count as a new thread in all the usual ways, like thread-local variables or PIDs. So any code called from a signal handler must be "thread-safe", but that thread-safety cannot rely on assigning an identifier to the thread, because you're using the same identifier as the parent thread.
Is something with a very bad taste addictive?

Tasting it clearly generates sensations in the brain that can be interpreted to be an effect of the physical configuration of the body.

And yet it's not possible for such a food to make someone an addict to it.

Have you tried looking into whether or not your local community college offers any seminar classes? I took a couple seminar classes at university and a couple at a community college and they were great. It's a class format where there is generally a small lecture up front about the course materials followed by a discussion where everyone is allowed to participate and lead the discussion in any direction(within reason of course). From my experience it was mostly young people at university, but had a good mix of ages at the community college. I think I learned more from a single seminar class I took on history than I did from my two years of traditional history classes in college.
So it's a sort of hardware-based Little Snitch without the ability to block connections. Neat. Perhaps a useful tool for the security-minded but not a true safeguard. Remote code execution exploits are very real. All an attacker needs to do is modify your network configuration (DNS, proxy, hosts file, etc.) to disguise network traffic over a specific address that looks real enough so as to not warrant suspicion. This exploit could also be designed to sit idly while the device is in airplane mode, avoiding the case's primary detection feature.
Intel only recently introduced this feature, and it surely required a lot of R&D. At the time they were most likely the only one, and may still be.
"They also didn't seem to care much about the security implications when I questioned them about it." no one ever said that was the case.

I feel the same way about cancer patients. They made so many stupid decisions, disregarded so many warnings, etc. And cancer patients are cancer patients for life - it's not like it can ever be cured.

You have it backwards. It's activist investors (a.k.a. corporate raiders) that push for short-term improvements in the stock market. Investing in long term growth has been a common reason companies went private. While flipping under-valued companies was popular in the 80's, those days of easy pickings are long gone. Private equity is highly competitive today, and you have to have some real management skill to make money (known as "alpha" in the biz).
Co-founder myth
It's interesting how different neighborhoods can be in the same city. In Seattle, my old neighborhood's board (First Hill) was vastly different than that of Ballard, to the point where I wasn't sure my friends who lived there were talking about the same site. The latter sounded like it was filled entirely with militant, yet simultaneously skittish NIMBYers, while mine was filled with park get-togethers and lost puppies. And since you could only see one neighborhood, the other experience was invisible to me.
Sorry, I'm new to Markov Chains, but recently I've been thinking about a way to "beat" ML algorithms of GOOG, FB, etc. So that the information stored about me is NOT true. For example, if someone keeps searching for "LGBT" while he/she is not one, GOOG will assume he IS one, or at least, interested in the topic.
My question is, is there a general method for beating ML/AI algorithms and stay hidden from them?
Thank you.

> This statement has been disproven repeatedly over the years with Hoard and jemalloc. It is counter-intuitive but the data backs it up.

What data is that? I would honestly love to see it. TBH, it would not change my mind since I have practical experience of custom allocators working better for me over other general ones. But then again, I work in a severely memory constrained environment.

>Custom per-data-structure allocators can fragment the global memory arena and cause more CPU cache misses as result of the extra code involved.

Well, pretty much all modern allocators have techniques to avoid fragmentation. But that is besides the point.

But your comment did not make sense to me. Perhaps it does to others. As the developer you know the general sizes of your data structures, their usage patterns, their lifetimes and the frequency/rate at which they are allocated (all of which a general allocator has to guess or use some sort of rudimentary strategy which adds needless metadata). That is where you can design your custom allocator to actually reduce fragmentation. It may well be that the gain from a custom allocator isn't worth it, but I don't quite understand how it can get _worse_ as you claim.

>The latest/greatest malloc/free implementations use a myriad of optimizations to achieve speed improvements that a custom allocator implementation would rarely use.

So what exactly stops you from writing in those optimizations in a custom allocator? Certain domains, like game programming for e.g. People have been doing this for decades with excellent results.

>It's not an accident that jemalloc is so widely used in major applications - it works extremely well.

Sorry, you have no possible way of knowing _why_ everybody else uses something. That itself is not an argument for anything.
I'm not sure what you mean. In this case the exploit did remain a secret until such time as a targeted individual was paranoid enough to send the link to an investigative team instead of clicking on it (and this is what resulted in the patch), or in other words, nobody else besides the attackers, the victim, the investigative team, and Apple knew about the exploit until the patch shipped.
dang would ask me not to import the content to the discussion, and in this case I agree. Suffice to say it was a snarky comment directed at you, deleted after being flagged.
> The current systems also have millions/billions of hours of proven flight time, as well as the knowledge gleaned from thousands of crash investigations. I'd rather fly on a current system. Also, a plasma aircraft could certainly have a fly-by-wire control also.

That same reasoning could have been (was?) used against fly-by-wire systems. Why add this additional complexity of a system that does not have the millions of flight hours of the old system.

Just like most aviation tech it probably will first be used by the military for something crazy and then slowly come down to civilian usage. (I imagine the air force commanders would like to have their tanker/radar/non stealth planes have 25% longer flight time/range)
>> Anti-psychotics (and benzodiazepines) are bad drugs that make people's mental problems worse.

> This is not true. Many people are able to live high functioning lives thanks to anti-psychotics, which are sophisticated drugs

Investigative journalist Robert Whitaker [1] has looked into the "mental health" industry, and proposes that today's patients do worse on their medications than their unmedicated predecessors. It used to be that people had "episodes" that they usually recovered from, now they have chronic diseases from which they never recover (unless they stop taking their pills). There is no good evidence that long-term anti-psychotic use is beneficial [edited, originally said 'no evidence whatsoever']:

http://www.madinamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/The-C...

Here's a paper about how anti-psychotics don't work long term:

> that are very effective against psychosis and are the best therapies we currently have.

Are you a psychiatrist? If a person makes themselves psychotic by compulsively using alcohol and cocaine, and the psychosis goes away when they stop using these substances, and Science also knows how to help the body repair the damage done by alcohol and stimulants... why would you put the person on maintenance sedative medications, instead of helping them fix the problem?

Riker notes that this is unnatural, which leads Crusher to presume that Volnoth was murdered.

OK, Linus. So without lawyers, you know, the people who understand the legal system and matters involving legal instruments like licenses, how will you discuss GPL enforcement? Without people who know how to argue in courts, what will you do when sued?

Will the Linux Foundation be representing itself pro se from now on? Are you going to send software engineers to explain to judges why they're smarter than lawyers, that is, the group of people to whom those judges belong and most clearly understand?

"Lawyers are all uniformly evil and scary" is a canard. So is "all lawsuits are bad and unjustified." It is a gross misunderstanding of the legal system and a classic case of domain knowledge not equaling general knowledge. Linus Torvalds is a brilliant programmer, but as I've said before on this site, that does not make him like unto a god, and it doesn't excuse him this ignorance. Yes, sometimes lawsuits destroy. And certainly it is possible that the SFC and Bradley Kuhn are just as bad as he says... but he is making no proposals about what to replace them with. All I see is "boo lawyers suck" rhetoric and the usual Linus Torvalds arrogance and anger.

> Lawsuits destroy community. They destroy trust. They would destroy all the goodwill we've built up over the years by being nice.

Goodwill means nothing when the law is being broken. It means nothing when licenses are not being enforced. Lawsuits can be used and abused by The Man (TM), big corporations or government or whomever, but they can also be used by you to get recompense when you have been hurt. In fact, that's primarily what they're supposed to be for. One day, Linus may need the people who don't take litigation personally, who don't see it in terms of wrecking community but in terms of protecting communities. He's doing a great job now of alienating those people.

The stance he's taken will make corporate sponsors love him, for sure - but that's because they'll see a guy who's scared of and angry at the system, but who also doesn't trust it enough to seek help. They'll see somebody who'd rather "be nice" and "build community" than protect what's theirs. (Ironic, given how outspoken Linus is about not being nice.) Then, they'll take it.

(Edit: I removed a personal insult aimed at Linus. I need to practice what I preach.)
These charts show how statistics can be used to mislead.

The scales on these are all out of whack. If I am reading the scales properly, the salary difference between product managers and software engineers is about 10k a year in salary, out of 120k-ish. That's roughly eight percent of an already high salary.

What sort of sampling are they using, just the companies that use an online job board? Do the companies using "Hired" to give offers consist of a representative sample, or do they skew towards small companies, or companies where software is considered a cost center instead of a revenue center?
Yeah. Or have a little metal case with you into which you put your device. Or buy a roll of aluminum foil and just wrap the phone inside it (just spelling this out makes me feel like a conspiracy theory nutter). So many cheap options...

Amazon bought two things with Twitch: 1) A social community 2) a monetization model. The video service itself is secondary.

The past several years has shown the social communities grow organically. But its hard to make users adopt one. If you build it, they probably won't come. It's easier for a big company to buy one up than start one from scratch. (Think Instagram versus Google Plus).

Second, Twitch is one of the few monetization models on the internet that is not pure ad based. Twitch does have ads, but streamers see more money through direct donations and monthly subscriptions. Also I am willing to bet the rate of ad blockers on Twitch is higher than the average site. Twitch has shied away from dark patterns that lock out adblocking users. I don't see any big modals or disabled video if I run an adblocker on Twitch. This is no doubt on purpose. So Twitch has locked on an monetization model of direct payment for digital content, which is rare on the internet. And best of all, it's completely optional.

A video streaming service alone is nothing revolutionary. There are many Twitch clones that haven't reach near the same popularity. Its the community, and how its funded.
Hoenig & Heisey (2001) discuss computing power after finding non-significant results. This is a bit different from the current paper, which also looks at the power for significant findings. (The conclusion here being that studies are so underpowered that they should be finding a lot fewer significant effects).
Parent comment's being sloppy. Parent meant to say that there are generic EpiPen alternatives (epinephrine + delivery system) but there isn't a generic EpiPen (name brand delivery system). Mylan claims that EpiPen (injector) has superior features and is easier to use.

Here's the relevant quote from the article you linked:

"The patents that currently prevent a generic form of EpiPen
are on the injector device itself, not the medicine inside.
So, while you can’t get a generic EpiPen, there are
alternatives that use epinephrine."
I don't disagree with what you're saying. But there are patterns where there's the View and ... everything else. It's a perfectly valid way of organizing code (for, admittedly, simpler code bases).

> Is something with a very bad taste addictive?

I'm sure something with a very bad taste is addictive, but that's neither here nor there.

> Tasting it clearly generates sensations in the brain that can be interpreted to be an effect of the physical configuration of the body.

> And yet it's not possible for such a food to make someone an addict to it.

You seem to be thinking that I made an argument that was equivalent to "every effect on the physical configuration of the body must produce addiction" rather than one equivalent to "in the absence of some non-physical process driving psychology, every psychological effect, including psychological addictions that are often characterized as 'not-physiological', must, in fact, have a physiological basis."

> Your argument doesn't seem convincing to me.

You seem to have a very bizarre idea of what my argument is that doesn't seem closely attached to anything I actually wrote.
