We could have a different definition of "impartial", there is a difference between a judge being impartial by not allowing outside interference which is not related to the direct matter and subject of the case from influencing their judgement.

However we do take account for both the letter and the spirit of the law when making a judgment, and we take account of the circumstances and the nature of the crime, the offenders and the offended parties.

We also make arguments based on the spirit of the law that do appeal to our human nature and empathy at large and this is a very important part of our legal system.

You would not want to see a judicial system where this isn't possible, you see this usually under martial law and other authoritative regimes were all crimes and all offenders are equal to the law and receive the same and often harsh punishment.

Even tho in the US the execution of the legal system might not be perfect, or quite far from it depending on how you look at it the principles of it are pretty important, if was pretty much the first legal system where we said we will not throw people to jail for being in debt, it was one of the few legal systems that did hold itself to higher standards of justice and equality.

And you can't have that with computers, not only because you can't teach them those things but because a legal system isn't some static list, it isn't the 10 commandments.

Our legal system is a living and breeding organism and judges, arbiters and lawyers are it's organs without them debating and arguing the legal system would "die".
You won't have new arguments, you won't have new precedents for the most part the entire legal system would grind to a halt and the only thing you'll have remaining is a penal code.

And trust me you do not want to live under a legal system which is in a effect a static and impartial penal code.
Because I listed the card for an inflated price to begin with. Since they had no intention of actually paying for it, they "bought" it. Which in the end, backfired on them.
> I did it in July, but then I noticed that a lot of social activities - like concerts, festivals, parties, etc, are organised using Facebook so if you're not on it, you can't participate.

They are organised this way because it is an effective way to organise them; so the only sure way to stop them being organised this way is to make it ineffective (by not participating, by urging others not to do so, and, crucially, by making your reasons known to the organisers). It is true that not using Facebook is an inconvenience, but there is no guarantee of a right to protest without inconvenience!
Most software and languages I deal with are open source and the names I see associated with them seem very european to me. Im also pretty sure that these are the same tools that my fellow american developers that you are putting on a pedestal use as well. Just walk away, you really are backing yourself into a corner.
I suspect the reason is those companies offering $140k frankly don't need that level of expertise. With that kind of background it would be fairly easy to get 200-300k as an infrastructure engineer at a quant shop.
They are starting to ramp up solar only in the last year or two. Endesa, the main hydro company, recently gave up fighting to construct 5 dams in the south due to persistent opposition over the last several years. Hopefully this will accelerate the solar deployments even more. The main mining company CODELCO is state owned. Endesa and CODELCO basically try to do whatever they feel like unless there is enough grass roots opposition. There is also a huge potential for wind generation in Chile which they are only starting to use.
Don't make a dent in Facebook. Make a change in your own life, and maybe lives of your friends.

There is a number of large things that you might not like. The smallest effective thing you can do is to not be a part of such things, to prevent them from consuming your mental resources and from defining any bits of your agenda.
The point OP is making is that none of these statements will guarantee the order of insertion, since OrderedDict must take the variadic kwargs input as a dict, which is inherently unordered. You have to use a list of tuples.

> I don't know what else to call you since you continue to write incredibly naive things.

So it's naive to say that intervention has often negative consequences that are often worse than the problem we're trying to solve when it is demonstrably true? Because that's all I said.

I might even gloss over the naive part. But the fact you put "incredible" in front of it I take exception to and you did it again. I gave you an out yet you doubled down. That is not a positive signal of civil discord.

> Many Americans? Many Americans are dumb as a brick like most people in every other place.

I was disagreeing with those people so I'm OK if you call them dumb as bricks.

> The world falling to shit? How much history have you read? Because the world is better than it has ever been. War activities are at an all-time low.

Mea culpa. I used hyperbole. I apologize. The world has absolutely not fallen to shit in the historical scale. However, I do ask for a citation on the "all time low" part for my own education. And what statistical buckets are you using, all time by year / decade / century?

> If you think people hate Americans, you live in America or in one of very few America-hating countries. The US is a very new country with no bad blood running deep. Japan and China? China and Korea? Japan and Korea? India and Pakistan? Iran and Saudi Arabia? Now that is hate.

Do they have demonstrations in China where they shout "Death to Japan?" The hate might be there but at least the government isn't breading extremist.

Also, hate is such a strong word. I regret using it. Disrespect would be a better one. And I'm not sure "Other countries hate each other" is a good argument. It is giving up. I have hope and think we can do better. If having hope makes me naive than I guess I'm naive and I will take it as a compliment.
It’s not that simple. What about artistic nude for example? Would you allow a picture like the following, which could have appeared in dozens of art related magazines?
https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Photography-vision/84309/2880...

I think that it’s much more safe to prohibit all nudity than nitpicking what to allow and what not. There are TBs of pictures uploaded daily on Facebook, it’s not a trivial task.

I haven't dived into Kubernetes yet, but I set up Rancher for our new application and it has been nothing short of amazing so far. I can't express how happy we've been with it.

I previously tried the Mesos/Marathon route (with Mesosphere and then again with Mantl) and that was nothing but a huge waste of time due to all the maintenance that was necessary for all the required servers. With Rancher, it's just spin up a container for each host with a single command and you're done.
You might not like this answer, but... play with it. In our environment, we're compiling and deploying Kubernetes by hand (I mean, not entirely by hand, but you get the idea). It was daunting at first but is getting easier and easier all the time, and we have a better handle on how things work as a result. What's going on under the hood, what the mass of command line parameters actually mean, and so on.

The documentation is lacking. Badly. And doesn't seem to keep pace with the features that are added in every point release, or in the alpha/beta versions. A lot of what we've learned has been by experimentation, poking at things, following the k8s user discussions, watching Github, reading code.
That's what reviews are for, unfortunately as hosts, in the current environment of rapid expansion by AirBnB, it works out to typically 75% of inquiries are from new users with no reviews. So there is very little to go by when accepting people to sleep in your home with you.
The day of the explosion, someone somewhere had asked the question "How much damage could a rifle shot do to a rocket on a launchpad."

As I recall, this question was dismissed out of hand at the time, without an answer, owing to the plethora of more likely electrical/mechanical points of failure.

While this is still a supremely unlikely scenario given the ample security perimeter, surveillance, etc etc... can someone with more knowledge than me on the subject humor the scenario?

A follow up of my own, in the same vein (though not directly related to this incident): how small are the odds of a launching vehicle taking micrometeoroid damage in the atmosphere? If this were to ever occur, this scenario is almost always going to result in the loss of the craft, correct?

This is a place where I do not agree with Facebook's decision but I agree they have a right to decide who and what can be on their platform. Freedom of speech does not give me the right to come into your home and say whatever I like without being asked to leave. I'm free to do so in the public park across the street though. Your property rights trump my free speech.

Fair. I think Delphi counts, and I don't think that was the bar being set (but it's easy to see how it could be read that way). The C++ header file model is quite different in the amount of burden placed on the programmer over the Delphi use-statement model.
This all relates to the fundamental problem with housing in most cities, in that the extreme regulation destroys all competition. This actually happens in almost every field nowadays - the proliferation of effectively Nanny state government "protecting" its citizens from making bad decisions by regulating standards into things like residential zoning or even things like crop production or materials processing dramatically reduces the ability for competition to ever enter the market, because the more regulation you burden the industry with the more impossible it is for an upstart to actually comply or even understand it all.

That goes hand in hand with how another poster above commented about how regulations are written to look like they are for the common good but are only good for those writing the laws. And when you exist in a system where money buys politicians and the will of the people has no effective influence on politics, you end up using regulation to stop competition.

I want to see one city who bucks the profiteering and greed and just dezones everything and just lets people build. Yes, you would need to be more responsible as someone moving there to know if the building is safe or not, but really you have always paid for that through taxes and increased home prices, so paying someone to appraise your potential properties or more likely having general agencies that organically do it would be so much more preferrable to just preventing any innovation in the space at all in the name of NIMBYisms and market capture.
It isn't "dumb puritanism" when applied at the individual level.

The problem is private debt, particular private debt that doesn't self-liquidate (consumption). See Steve Keen (certainly no puritan on debt) on the distinction between public debt and private debt and its effects on the economy.

Not having a FB account may be unwise: an impersonator might take your name, if only to make fun of you before his/her/your classmates.

Your assessment is correct. It takes much longer to just run the app for the first time. The savings come in when you want to redeploy the app in multiple environments, test it, and develop new features on it. That's when all of these steps make sense - although, hopefully you'll be able to remove steps 1 & 2 when everything is a docker / Kubernetes workload.

Certainly not with Ethereum :)

Of course what I just said is kind of comical at first glance, but in all honesty, and to absolutely agree with and add to your point, the exploits related to Ethereum are great examples of how something seemingly infallible that is set in stone can easily turn out to be an Achilles' heel, which then, just like in the case of Ethereum, requires human intervention, bringing it back full circle.

Also, to add to this, as @hackuser mentions[1], the system, even if set perfectly in stone, will still be based on somebody's biases.

I agree that we should use caution in setting up solar panels. That said the ecosystem in most of northern Chile is dirt. Not sagebrush or cactus with a few insects, or dormant seeds waiting for the next rain. Just dirt, sometimes rocks. If ever there was a place for solar panels it's northern Chile.

the voting franchise is a fundamental right of citizens in a democracy. the fact that you're referring to it as an entitlement is misinformed, and in fact, quite warped and reveals a deep misunderstanding of our form of government.

the state we find ourselves in this year is abundant evidence of the terrible malfunctioning of the American political process. the system we have in place now struggles to reach even the basic requirements of legitimacy and consent of the governed.

what does popular sovereignty mean anyway if large majorities of the populous are very very very unhappy with their government?

> No, but I can expect them to suffer if they do have one.

The problem, and the reason why parking requirements exist, is because people externalize that "suffering" on others. They decide they need a car anyway, and then they park that car on other streets, or they park overnight illegally on private property, etc.

It's not like parking requirement laws fell from the sky one day on a bunch of stone tablets. They didn't exist a hundred years ago, but were created and became ubiquitous across the U.S. as cars became more popular because there were such problems when parking is in short supply.

Now, maybe there are some alternative solutions -- maybe you could get people to sign some sort of blood oath that they'll never own a car while living at a particular address, or maybe we could pass laws that prohibit cars from being registered to addresses that lack parking...? (Maybe we could require that in order to register a car, you have to prove you have the right to a place to park it, and stop treating parking as a public good?) But until there's some better solution, the underlying problem that parking requirements were created to solve still exists.

People are very, very good at sharing their suffering with everyone else and society is typically worse off for it. It takes a lot of work to prevent that from happening.

If you have "priors" that you can adjust, that suggests you think you are an explicit Bayesian reasoner.

It's incoherent to take on that identity and then ignore new information. You should just conjure probabilities from this incident that will have an acceptably low impact on your priors.
Imagine if a paper newspaper were told that they had to publish every letter sent to them or no letters at all. They would stop publishing letters entirely. There are a lot of ways to construct laws such that they have the opposite of their nominal effect. It's important to note that the US First Amendment bars the government from passing laws respecting both freedom of speech and freedom of the press (among other related rights).
No area has historically been built for high density housing. You build the housing and that creates new problems that you then solve, which in turn cause more problems to solve, etc. etc. in a process usually known as "life".

Most of those technologies overlap. Except for some disaster development scenarios, no one is actually using all those technologies in the same environment (i.e. they're not using Chef and Vagrant and Docker in production, at the same time)

Chef/Puppet/Salt/Ansible these days are just used to provision 1 VM/container (if even that, many people have just reverted to shell scripts) and that container is then managed using a container management tool (Swarm/Kubernetes).
I agree. They should start by deploying local solar in the huge and already impacted active mining areas.

The Easiest Way to Bypass XSS Mitigations
I've found this to be a pain when setting up a container-based environment. The easiest approach is to just to avoid it as much as possible - hopefully your cloud provider has some managed services (i.e. AWS RDS) that will handle most things for you.

Otherwise you need to separate your available container hosts into clusters: Elasticsearch cluster, Cassandra cluster, etc. and treat those differently from your machines you deploy your other apps to, which to be fair, they are different and need to be treated differently.
The part about calling you up when it was clear you wanted to give them your info was what really concerned me. It's an easy way to scare your customers away.

As he said, the creep factor was high. If you were to do something like that it should be clear that your information is being captured or give you the ability to opt out right next to your phone number. That would still be a LinkedIn like deceitful UX experience but slightly better.

The problem with "by hand" is now the dependencies or environment needed for that app to run are only in the brain of the person with that hand, or documented in a separate document that is prone to being out of date. With a build environment that includes containerization, all of your apps dependencies are guaranteed to be documented or it will not run correctly.

I'd thought we'd reached, or will in short order, the debt to GDP ratio where, historically, countries sooner or later repudiate their debt one way or another (which of course includes inflation).

Of course the Federal Government isn't a "giant household", it's worse in many respects, with the decision makers generally not thinking past the next election, whereas there's a chance in a household the elders will be thinking of the children's futures (things like Social Security, and the general Zeitgeist that the government won't do stupid things like repudiate the debt, have of course helped to sunder the bonds between generations, something I think a lot of "elders" will heartily regret in due course).
