Agreed that the lack of an explanation in spite of all the over-preparation. The reason people still eat bagged spinach is that, as far as I can remember, they managed to trace the last spinach E. coli outbreak down to a specific lot on a specific farm in California. At Chipotle they don't even know which ingredient it was.

Uncertainty has a strong influence on human behavior.
Same goes to many parts of the USA. Many of these populations are probably Drumpf voters. Many never had a passport issue and believe the US is the "greatest nation on earth". Many don't speak a second language, not sure exactly where the countries their own country invaded are located, or even which people they've destroyed and exterminated when Europeans first invaded North America.

FWIW - I went through the google process. Even though most of the people were very nice, I agree their interview process is not suited for diversity. I applied for a PM position at the time. I specifically said to the screeners (btw, they reached out me) that I was an enterprise software PM and all the questions related to the consumer side of the house. I told them flat out that i was interested in the GCP team. They said they hire "generalists". It wasn't a good use of time although at least I have first hand exp now. I suspect that's why they are having a tough time getting enterprise customers to use their cloud relative to AWS. I heard a rumor recently that Diane Greene is trying to change the hiring process for GCP in particular. Anyone know anything about that?

The bulk of my career was spent in ColdFusion, starting around 1999. In recent years, I've moved away from it, but even today, there's features in there I really miss, like the simplicity and power of custom tags, and the embedded SQL engine that you could use against any recordset.
> that this might be US backed action

I doubt the USG is involved in this. They have a pretty solid track record of both respecting human rights and due process. Keep in mind the US government is the most ethical government in the world. Assange, on the other hand, is a rapist and a Russian puppet trying to hijack the US election. He probably is a Trump supporter in disguise and a closeted systemd committer. If that wasn't enough, there are multiple reports claiming that Assange does not respect PEP8 in his code. This last thing was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
I used to be a lot better at blogging. Or possibly it was just a bit easier to get to the front page of Reddit 10 years ago, because that's how I did most of the marketing for Twiddla back in 2007 & 2008.

The US seems obsessed with food safety in a manner that I'm not sure exist in other cultures. Do statistics exist of bacterial outbreaks per country, is it actually worse in the US than elsewhere?

Last year I bought Harold Mcgee's "Keys to good cooking" but couldn't go through it as all he talks about isn't "cooking" but telling you all the manners in which food is going to kill you.

(Ironically, in the parts I did read he explains that his own father spent his whole life eating raw meat and never suffered from it.)

Maybe the problem with the US is the number of people who buy meals from restaurants, as opposed to cooking at home. If there's a problem in your own kitchen the only people who are going to get sick are members of your family; if there's a problem in a restaurant, or a restaurant chain, you have an outbreak.
Lets not forget why he is there. No internet access seems like very little punishment for what he did.

Or systemic (as opposed to systematic) bias.

Independent, adversarial reproducibility implies some possibility of correctness.

But psychology doesn't seem to do what science usually does - build models and make independent predictions from them.

Finding patterns in data is not the same as testing a null hypothesis which is the result of a model, and not just a random query. Or an accidental discovery.

This is not how statistics and causal connections work.

That's a neat little system. The atmospheric railways of the 19th century failed because they lacked a good sealing material for the slot. They tried to use leather, which didn't last very long. With synthetic rubber, it can work, although I wonder how often they have to replace the gaskets.

The size of the air duct is much larger than the 19th century systems, and the pressure is quite low, only 0.16 atmosphere. There is a switch for this system, and it's not too big.[1] (Monorail switches tend to be bulky.)

Another system (4.7km) is under construction, or at least contracted for, in Canoas, Brazil. This is planned to be expanded into a sizable metro system.

Aeromovel probably would have been an improvement over that cable-hauled kludge at the Oakland airport. That cost $484 million for a 3.2 mile system with two cars. Only two cars; there cannot be more, because of the way the cable system works.

I don't really disagree with your notion. However, as someone noted above, Sweden already has these laws in place, all the data from Finland currently (before the sea cable to Germany is ready) goes through Sweden, and their laws didn't prevent Facebook from building a huge datacenter in Luleå. But yeah, they probably would have _some_ effect.

Though it might be something: a guy claiming to be a CIA intelligence analyst says that Assange is about to get extradited. We will know in the coming hours for sure. If this is true it is pretty damaging to the sexual assault accusations he was facing in Sweden. That would confirm that it was indeed the end-goal of getting him transferred to Sweden.

It was posted a few hours before everything unravelled and so far the anonymous poster was right. Of course, he could just be lucky and trolling for replies. At such an early stage it is interesting to share anyway.

It is not clear whether Assange is tweeting or a third-party is. For all we know, they could have stormed and the only information available to the person maintaining the Wikileaks twitter account is that Assange cannot be reached. The situation is not clear atm.

I wanted to write about my experience with containers. It mimics yours. The idea of a container is beautiful and elegant. The execution, not so much. I'm more or less convinced that to reduce this complexity, we need a limited scope ecosystem. Microsofts .Net would probably be a good place to start, but MS, being enterprise, have a habit of turning things into a mess of configuration.

The smart use of containers is using it to specify the deployment. You should use proper virtualization as the environment to deploy into. Because you use containers doesn't mean you throw all that away.

You have a good point, but how Google approaches this problem is wrong in my opinion. Why can't they just rank the page by the amount of junk it has in the first place, instead of actively looking for an AMP-optimized page?

If they were doing that, the media companies (and any other site which isn't in the deep web) would be working towards making their content minimal at the core, not branching off with an "optimized" version of the page. This would make the browsing experience better for all devices, not just mobile users.
This might get very interesting.
There is a lot of infrastructure around security and availability that isn't yet achiveable with off the shelf software. So ideally you use containers to define dependencies and deployment, and deploy into a proper environment.

I think it might be a little more nuanced than that. While I'll agree that most people aren't in the business of making the world actively worse, neither are they in the business of making the world better* . Therefore, a lot of problems today are caused by half-measures and optimization of metrics with questionable correlation to the betterment of things, rather than just 'solutions' of a general form. This also doesn't include the subset of problems that are deliberately introduced in order to create business.

Given current trends with Wikileaks-distributed Russian intel dumps, the upcoming 'surprise' will be another big fat nothing-burger. Most likely case is that Assange went a step too far in using the Ecuadorian's hospitality just to become a Russian cut-out and at some point his ongoing attempts to influence the election (and failing miserably at that) reminded the Ecuadorians that they were gaining nothing by hosting him and now were looking at another four years of fallout. TBH I don't think anyone really cared too much about Assange, but his desperate need for attention ended up leading him to play with fire.
>Maybe the problem with the US is the number of people who buy meals from restaurants, as opposed to cooking at home. If there's a problem in your own kitchen the only people who are going to get sick are members of your family; if there's a problem in a restaurant, or a restaurant chain, you have an outbreak.

The problems come from contaminated ingredients. Modern, industrialized food supply chains are long, whether they terminate in a commercial kitchen or a residential one.

To me it's more like a lightweight virtualization: processes inside containers have no clues that there are others processes running in others containers alongside its own, all of that without eating too much memory (at least well under the amount that virtual machines would use).

Added benefits:

- the 'host' os can be very light and tailored to run Docker and nothing more (cf CoreOS),

- we can design orchestration software that handle containers operations across a herd of lightweight hosts (cf Kubernetes).

The dependencies/recipes thing is more like a tool that enable those higher goals, but again that's just my point of view.

I don't know where I stand on this issue but to see people defending this as 'persecuting someone for their political views' seems a little odd. Thiel is openly supporting and funding a presidential candidate piping hate in to your country's population in the form of racism, misogyny etc etc - This is not a political view everyone, it is hate speech. This is not political to me. Thiel is funding a hate machine and helping him stay on the biggest platform in the world so he can continue.

What is political about that?

In the UK you could say you support the British National party because they want free school tuition but a large part of their platform is racist - and discredited because of it.

What it would confirm is that Assange has made himself more trouble than he is worth the the Ecuadorian's and they have decided to simply kick him out of their embassy. They have no moral obligation to continue providing shelter for someone who thinks their protection is some untouchable perch from which to play political games and are simply asking them to leave. Assange is that guy you once knew from high school who you let crash on your couch for 'a few days' and find still there a year later trying to run a mail-order scam out of your kitchen. He is being shown the door.

The fact that once he leaves the long-delayed wheels of justice start turning is merely a side-effect. The end-goal is not getting him transferred to Sweden, it is for Assange to be able to show the world that he was right all along by defending himself against the charges against him and not hiding until he could run out the clock.
