Right, the other thing beyond being different frequencies is that we can't mesh on MURS frequencies given the FCC's rules on that band. So we moved to the civilian ISM band where store-and-forward is allowed. So we've had to negotiate not just with the laws of physics but the laws of... regulators ;-)
I've been working at a Docker shop for a while and I have a feeling it will be the future for running services. It makes systemd somewhat irrelevant.

There are still a lot of issues I've had with Docker, which I won't go into. It also can't replace everything running on your Linux system. But it's a neat idea and big players use it in production for huge workloads.

Now the whole AWS-containers, docker-machine, swarm, mesos, coreos, kubernetes thing is a cluster fuck of choices .. but you have choices. And unlike running an Ansible script on some provides base image (which is totally different from Rackspace, Linode, etc.), you are guaranteed your container will work on any docker engine with little modification (your orchestration files may change though).

I have a feeling, for better or worse, containers will be the future and will stick around long after systemd hopefully dies.
Hey, glad you appreciate the comment and found it helpful. Nice improvement!

I agree. ((int)((int) 5) + ((int) 5)) - ((int)2) is way clearer than 5 + 5 - 2.

I think that's just a convenience thing. I'm fairly sure you can sign up without and they'll still give you support. I've had Google Apps for years now and it's been good.
I was really impressed that a Korean friend had an overseas bank card with an e-ink display on it for displaying TFA codes, just like Authy/Authenticator.
It's interesting to me that the Page Shot feature allows you to search your captured images by the text in the captured image.

At first I assumed they must be doing some OCR, but then it occurred to me that, since it's a browser addon with full access to the page, they could just grab the text straight from the selected DOM elements.

That's a clever extension of typical screenshot tools.
How they handle them is far more important than if they handle them. Human drivers aren't exactly great at handling edge cases either, but they certainly handle them better than the computers do at the moment and for the near future. Existing technology is by far better at the non-edge cases, but nowhere enough to make up for how bad they are at edge cases. They have better reaction times for people crossing the street, but throw some snow at it and it'll drive off a cliff.

I'm sure they've got some reasonably safe behavior for when it doesn't know what to do (do nothing!), but that doesn't exactly make for a great transportation device. Staying home is safer than that and just as effective at not getting you anywhere.

And while edge cases are by definition rare, how rare are they? I'd be willing to estimate that when I drove trucks for a living, I'd handle upwards of 100 scenarios per day that were not "by the books". Remember that 99.9% of uptime still means you are having downtime 1.5 minutes a day. If they are really bad at handling the edge cases at the 0.1% level of rarity, that's still enough of a chance to fuck up at least once a day.
No.. separate incidents. People often forward ports to IoT devices or stick them on public interfaces in the first place.
Millenials and those younger than them prefer eCommerce. Combine that with increasingly better service, and the trend of it increasing will continue. There's a reason Walmart bought jet.com. eCommerce is important, and they sucked at it.

70% of my "one day" prime deliveries result in false delivery attempts -- due to either A1 International, Lasership, or "AMZN" couriers. Reporting these problems to customer service I've been told that they're aware of the problem, so it is definitely happening at some kind of scale.
Very good point! I'd say that in one case, you are dealing with averages over a population, and averages definitely wash out differences which I think are important. An Olympics team is a different statistic, the max of the distribution, the cream of the crop. One is a sports competition and another are a set of rankings that give us insight into a population and how their culture and laws affect the performance of said population.

But I'm afraid I have no retort to the Olympic question other than that is it a completely different ranking of the best of each population rather than the average, so different rules apply? I'm not sure that is a good argument against your sentiment, though.
This site is mostly college-aged leftist millennials. I think any criticism of unions will just lead to knee-jerk downvotes, unfortunately. The history of job protection holding back progress certainly isn't a controversial subject, but I guess ideology rules the twitchy downvote finger on social media sites.
Apu is a stereotype. Now granted, he's on a show filled with stereotypes, and he's not always portrayed negatively, but he is still a stereotype. (In all honesty, sitcoms are all filled with stereotypes.)

Apoe status appears to control the absorption rates of LDL cholesterol (tiny balls of fat).

Individuals with apoe4, appear to have really low LDL cholesterol absorption rates between cells, and high blood-LDL cholesterol concentrations.

Having done a bit of research on optimal dieting, its pretty inconclusive.

This study shows negative consequences resulting from high fat diets for apoe4:

Because that specific thing is crufty and bad, and now can't be fixed for back-compat reasons. Neither of these are justifications for introducing more crufty badness.
>Despite the banality, the bug is serious, as it allows any local user to trivially perform a denial-of-service attack against a critical system component.

Is it really that serious of a bug? You have to be a local user in order to execute it. Are other OS's somehow resilient to the actions of local user to degrade the OS?

>The Linux ecosystem has fallen behind other operating systems in writing secure and robust software. While Microsoft was hardening Windows and Apple was developing iOS, open source software became complacent.

He must be unaware of the numerous patches Microsoft and Apple issue on a regular basis to fix their "secure and robust software".
I think the article makes (even) more sense, when you read it together with the YouTube Go announcement [1]. The announcement specifically talks about bringing the YouTube experience to users in India.

It's the same on Archlinux, systemd-231. Nothing happened. I was able to start and stop a couple of services as quickly as before.
Why would they start operating the Amazon account at a loss? They would likely lower the volume discount if the volume drops but I don't understand your point.

Interesting. This depends on the expected audience of the anime, and whether most of the characters are young, right? I'm not an anime fan, but the movies I've watched (Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh, Mononoke Hime) have very distinct male voices. I've even heard from one reviewer that the Japanese love deep bass male voices in their anime, an observation which is true in my experience. They go as far as using deep male voices for characters who are visually or nominally female, such as the Puppet Master in Ghost in the Shell (pre the awful 2.0 remastered Blu Ray edition) or Moro in Mononoke Hime.

This is an interesting find, but not at all surprising.

At the time the coins were buried, Ryukyu (now called Okinawa) was not a part of Japan. Until the 19th century Ryukyu was a tributary of China, and at one time it was a regional trade hub, so one would expect coins from distant lands to find their way there.

Amazon Logistics is awful locally in the UK. I mean it. Terrible.

I'm currently waiting for a package "guaranteed" before midday. I've had a couple of emails since then, the last pushing it back to "before 9pm". It's 9.25 now.

They've delivered stuff to the wrong place. They've said they knocked and nobody answered (I work from home, wife is on maternity).

And their vans are rentals.

All in all it feels unprofessional. It makes me questions not only the value of Prime but Amazon as a whole. I've started shopping around a lot more.
Not like you have to do anything to get it to work OOB, but your mileage may vary. One of the benefits of Markdown is that it's easily understood by people new to the doc space. RST is slightly more complex and has more rules added in.

Until California, Texas, New York, etc become independent countries, the comparison will always be made against the US.

I'm sure some folks in Texas are itching to secede, but until that happens, we compare other countries with the US, not California, Texas, or New York.
The choice that was put before the Debian TC was literally "Should we use systemd instead of sysvinit" and did not consider any of the many other init systems. In fact, a motion was put forward to the Debian TC to consider other init systems, and guess what? Pro-systemd TC members pointed to the original motion ("Should we use systemd instead of sysvinit") as the reason not to consider other init systems. That is pretty much as political as it gets.
I personally see very limited returns in automating the last mile - local drivers often only make 15-25 dollars an hour, and often its drop and hook (drop one trailer, pick up another) to maximize tractor utilization. In addition, the hours of service rules for intra-state drivers are often much more generous than the federal standard.

In short, it makes sense to spend alot of money to eliminate the big cost - but not to eliminate the little cost.
Yep, same here, but to make them more "phone call friendly" rather than random pronounceable passwords I generate random two or three word phrases via sites like this: http://watchout4snakes.com/wo4snakes/Random/RandomPhrase
this is the comment I was looking for. not only do they do this (which is not a good excuse), they also BEG you to put in your phone number every other day.

I've seen websites (I believe it was netflix) which ask for your phone number in order to provide you a way to reset your password... what happened to good old email resets?
It's different enough. They are notable enough for their own wiki pages. Analysts spend their careers studying individual states.

Maybe 'central bank control' is a reasonable grouping measure, but 'size of economy' is also reasonable. There is certainly more nuance than a simple ranking can model.

And the 'central bank' argument is muddied by the existence of the Euro and the particular economic struggles of countries like Greece.
I've been a prime member for a while, and ordering from amazon is part of our regular routine for acquiring stuff. I've never had much of a problem, until recently. And UPS was entirely to blame. They (UPS) forgot the AC on the dock, and it ended up being delayed by a week. When it arrived, there were broken parts in the box. Amazon took responsibility and sent me a new one (with a $50 cash back due to inconvenience). I had them file a complaint w UPS. The replacement unit ended up being late as well... it was sent to the wrong address and signed by the recipient. UPS left the package at the wrong address! Amazon was very apologetic and told me they would escalate the complaint to their shipping logistics dept. I could tell they were super frustrated at the lack of control they had over UPS. So they sent me a _third_ AC unit. This one arrived, but there was water damage in the box. I, for one, am for Amazon owning the full experience and removing UPS from the chain.

FedEx is the only courier I have trouble with. I've never been home when they tried to deliver and they ignore the signed "I accept liability for this getting lost, just leave it leaned against my door" slip.

Going to the distribution center to pick up the package typically entails a 30-45 minute wait. They require both an ID and proof of residence (e.g. electric bill) if the address on your ID doesn't match the delivery address - and of course nobody in line knows about this so you end up spending that 30-45 minutes with a crowd of angry people who can't even pick up their packages.
Reverse the creation process... creation consists of the central bank creating new money, and the government creating a new bond. Central bank buys the bond and the gov gets the money and can spend it on welfare or whatever.

To reverse the gov must buy the bond back with money from general taxation, on doing so the bond is redeemed and destroyed, and the central bank erases the money it received back in tandem with the bond.

Basically it's all smoke and mirrors, the various obligations (to redeem the bond, to do so with real money, etc. are all legal bindings and mechanisms that can be signed away with sufficient political support, thus reducing the whole process to good old fashioned money printing).
Whether talking about the US as a whole or any particular state, we don't compare to the modern European countries.

One important way we don't compare is that healthcare and retirement costs are a massive drag on our economy. Just an hour ago I received an e-mail from my employer letting me know that their 401k matching is decreasing 1% next year, but that they're cool with it because it's still "competitive". The reality is that many Americans working today will never afford to retire. And at some point in the future they will not be able to afford their healthcare either.

How can we talk about productivity and competitiveness when we can't even afford to keep ourselves alive and healthy?

TL;DR; American competitiveness is a joke.
Culturally we don't laugh at women in the way we laugh at male buffoons. It's exactly the same reason there are far fewer female comedians.

All of these are false.

It stores everything in binary logs, however your old system didn't store it at all. You had a daemon (syslog, rsyslog, etc) that wrote them as plain text. If you start those daemons, you at exactly the same spot as before. Just with an additional copy in a binary log. Which btw, journalctl can do some magical things, and you should take some time to play with it.

systemd is not monolithic, or at the very least its a distributed monolith. The vast majority of services happen in their own userspace process.

Systemd excels with servers, since it standardizes how their execution gets defined. It takes only an added line to spawn them in their own namespaces, set cgroup restrictions, prevent network access, etc. Before hand, doing these things was very hard, so no one did them.
Does that mean you should breakout London from the rest of the UK? Frankfurt from Germany?
Taxes and payroll taxes are much lower in Switzerland than in France, for example, so an employee might cost the same to the company in both countries, but have much more net income in Switzerland.

Most people don't see payroll taxes, only income taxes.

Having a large percentage of foreigners and English-speakers also contributes to that, as well as the clustering effect (IBM Research has a lab in Zurich since 1956).
Likewise. People frequently told me to go see the Vasa and I rather expected it to be something like the Mary Rose; historically interesting but the bare shell of part of the hull of a boat. Basically some wet wood.

Yes, that reminds me of the stretch on the 101 near Palo Alto that has two sets of lane markings (one old and slightly faded out but still very visible, and one newly repainted). Of course, drivers should only follow the newly painted set of lane markings.

Even as a human, I get confused while driving on this stretch. The old lane markings aren't quite faded out enough to easily tell them apart. As I'm driving, I see every other car slowing down and "dead reckoning," too.

How will the run-of-the-mill self-driving car's lane following handle this corner case? If it's a Canny edge detector (like most self-driving cars), it's definitely going to fail and find false positives.
Zurich has an international airport, Zug doesn't
There's also the profit margins that UPS and FedEx have, which is probably not huge, but Amazon can edge those out as well.
Yes, these are also reasons I dislike systemd. Also, one of the original selling points of systemd was "It will reduce boot times significantly!" ... And then it ends up that systemd is actually slower to boot than any of the other ones out there.
> As a student, I want feedback on how much knowledge I learned, not how I did in comparison with the class. This was the original purpose of scoring tests.

My university automatically attached our grades to all internship applications. It's pretty clear the purpose of grades (other than pass/fail) is employer or grad school evaluation, not for student feedback. For better or for worse.

There are completely different purposes for the Olympic games and a ranking of economies. We-have-a-different-flag is perfectly fine for the purposes of friendly competition. Something with more justification is appropriate for discussing economies, especially since the boundaries of 'an economy' are naturally nebulous.
Ageism is definitely a thing but its also an interesting strategic advantage. Historically the company with the best mix of experience and energy have been the ones that succeed in the long run. That said, for the first 2 - 5 years of their life a company is pretty much a random series of experiences teaching the employees what they don't know. They have to get to the point where they can actually see that there is a lot to learn and not enough time to learn it before they can value someone who has that experience.

Old engineers are like security enhancements, they seem to cost more than they are worth until you experience an event that would have killed your company if they hadn't been there.
"Sort" and "Sortation" are different words, they are not interchangeable. The "-ation" suffix not just a random suffix added on, it has a specific meaning - "The action or process of doing something". So "sortation" means the process of sorting.

I don't think the distro maintainers had that much say, since the most popular Linux desktop software began to depend on it. It started with GNOME, and now KDE is on its way. This basically forces their hand--if they want to provide a good out-of-the-box experience, they either have to switch to systemd, or continuously fight upstream's patches.

Increasing efficiency to western levels won't happen overnight. It still takes time for the market to develop, and there would be several cycles of commodity prices collapsing which would squeeze out less efficient participants.
This article got me wondering if maybe the NSA or similar has somebody on the inside of the systemd project that is helping the project along.

Systemd has replaced a lot of init systems in the linux ecosystem and the general development practices of the project is leaving a huge footprint of code that might be exploited.

If they aren't involved, I'm sure they probably know a few different exploits for the system already.
Those negative cultural attitudes that can hold back a vast country packed with resource that has oceans separating it form two world wars maybe should be fixed.

I must admit a friend of mine who's a lawyer in Russia had an old curve with a QWERTY keyboard, but I put that down to the fact that for security reasons the law firm gave everyone French blackberrys that were roaming in Russia rather than Russian provided phones.
