> this is totally unambiguous

> "including from US political organizations"

edit: saw your edit. I can see why it is easy to believe what they are saying is totally unambiguous. I would suggest to anyone reading the joint statement that they dissect and debug it like they would code. Parse each statement carefully and check what assertions, are being put forward (these are almost certainly true, gone through many lawyers). Then check what variables in that sentence are definitely assigned to something.
I really like: daemontools + static binary + setuidgid and maybe chroot.

Or mesos where everything needs to be in a tarball, which is extracted and sole program run.

If stuff is statically linked and related files (config, assets, ...) are part of bundle that can be chrooted, what is the value add of a container?
You can always choose a slow life, somewhere in the country with a few chicken. At least your idleness is not burdening others that way.
I miss d3.js at nyt. I would consider a few dollars a month if digital media meant digitally interactive. same goes for you Economist. let's agree to use the power of the web for all our web publishing, not just some of it.
> Costs

Mainly due to politicians drafting rules to require more safety out of nuclear than any form of other energy solution. Of course it's more expensive if it's 100x more regulated.

> Nuclear waste: Many supposedly safe storage solutions such as in former salt mines have turned out to be unsafe. Gen IV reactors produce less, but not nothing at all

And what damage has these "unsafe" storages caused, especially compared to other forms of energy creation? Coal is basically pumping out the radioactive waste into the air we breathe. It's better to have few concentrated places for the waste rather than spread it all around the air little by little.

You can't just say "nuclear waste" and be done. You have to compare the data between different solutions.

> Security and safety: They're centralized infrastructure, attacking them has catastrophic consequences, unknown unknows like in Fukushima and human errors like in Chernobyl do happen and lead to catastrophes.

Funny you mention Fukushima, where zero people have died or gotten sick due to radiation, and experts say that the toll will probably stay at zero. Overall nuclear has the lowest mortality rate per MWh of any form of energy: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2012/06/10/energys-de...
This is why Trump is popular. He's the opiate of people who are left behind. People mock them for supporting Trump, but few people offer appealing alternatives.

Basically what you say is: Russia is not a free country and thus its views should not be represented. That definitely what "freedom of speech" is not about.
I'm not sure if many realize, but in such a world very few would actually work. All the rest will play.

Okay, so who decides who will work and who will play? Why should I bust my ass all day working, while you just live however you want to?

Right now, the reason some people bust their ass working, is being they can get paid more and live a higher quality of life. If everybody get everything they want, why would anyone work?
You may be joking, but seriously the possible irreparable damage is indeed an argument for me that gets insufficiently addressed by the pro nuclear people.

Off course, more people die because of coal power plants and off course the net loss of land due to global warming is bigger compared to nuclear due to rising sea levels. But you can still go to those flooded places (albeit in a diving suite) and not get cancer... This is not the case for the Chernobyl area or Fukushima. This place is lost and cannot be used by humans for a long time. This cannot not happen when using coal power plants.

Take a small country like Switzerland. We cannot afford to lose any land. You can do something about the death of people in the coal mining industry and you can also do something to reduce the atmospheric CO2. But once a nuclear accident happens the land is lost and nothing can be done about it.

And this point is never addressed properly. I don't care about the probability, I care about the possibility.

Fa real, it's like people think if society didn't exist everything would be better and we wouldn't be scrounging for basic necessities on a daily basis, without much time for lofty pursuits.
People respond to incentives. You (specifically you) get paid to be disabled. If the government started paying people to have an urge to eat artificially shit-flavored desserts (which is obviously a mental issue, since it's disgusting) then as soon as word got out, we would have a new epidemic of people with an inexplicable obsession to eat artificially shit-flavored desserts, making them unsuitable to integrate and join any workforce. That is not comfortable, it's not a nice, idle living, eating artificial shit-flavoring. But if that's what the government is paying for, some people will do it.

your English is good, given your skills background if you applied to 1,000 junior software dev positions (which would take you less than a year at the lowly pace of three per day) you would be employed in short order. But nobody is paying you to do that. You are, however, being paid to be disabled.

your comment is simply an example of people responding to incentives.

I agree that GP is deluded and entitled. Not to absolve him of his own responsibility for his decisions, but there are very strong forces out there proactively pushing this mindset on people. Companies spend insane amounts of money trying to convince more people that they "need" their products.

It's not even just ads and commercials that are guilty of this. Most mainstream media assumes the "American Dream" happens to involve a lot of material possessions, and proceeds accordingly. It's in the little things, and it's everywhere.
> I think fear is a natural human attribute left over from an earlier time in human existence, I really do.

It's not a leftover, it's a survival mechanism. If fear were stripped away from a person or a society, it wouldn't last long. It's easy to think that rational thought would keep people from dancing on the edge of a cliff but rationality can be undermined through persuasion, self-delusion, and lack of conscious attention. The limbic system evolved as a attempt to keep us safe prior to logical thought and it still does the job.
If it's depression that causes demotivation how will "going nonprofit" be more motivating? I think you need to fix the depression issue first.
That's a good question, one that the article didn't mention. Plus, a lot of stuff is now made through prison labour -- which is substantially lower-paid than the normal minimum wage. This could translate to less opportunities for anyone outside of the prison.

Being productive is an important part of life, though there isn't anything wrong with taking time off being productive to deal with an illness or build skills. I'd suggest focusing on self-care and getting your depression under control. Most people with mental illness will have it all their lives, its about getting it to a level that doesn't prevent you from enjoying life. Having no motivation and feeling exhausted are pretty detrimental to enjoying life. Although you said you are training to be a military reservist which sounds like it could be a great opportunity.
Nice idea! Would you open an issue to suggest it so I don't forget? I'm sure a contributor would love to build it in, doesn't sound too hard. (EDIT: I see you posted it in the forum, I'll respond there.)
I absolutely see the same as you do on this. Their coverage of the Syrian war namely the Refugee's is appalling. Europe is having to deal with the influx partly because of Russia's political stance and bombings. But RT will never give the issue coverage without extreme bias.
Dave Ramsey, who is always telling everyone that average annualized returns are around 10%, will be so disappointed.

How do you suggest publishers who are dependent on traffic from Google cope with AMP in the short-term? It seems like there is no way to compete with AMP-enabled content on Google ranking except by adopting AMP.
There are people at Starbucks who genuinely enjoy creating those new pumpkin flavored concoctions. It's jobs for which no person enjoys doing that need to be automated, like taping up the same packing box 600 times a day.
Is this time any different than previous? Well at least the fear of nuclear annihilation is smaller. It's kinda normal for the US to think it's on the brink of a disaster. And it's normal for Europeans to think the US supremacy will end at any moment. And still it doesn't and the US is better off than any time before.
Well stated like that it sounds like a good deal, but that statement makes a list of assumptions as long as my arm that quite simply are not guaranteed.
Good to know. One difference may be buying a flat in a multi-family building, so the costs of major repairs (roofs and such) is shared and can be handled by a management company for a fixed monthly cost / subcontracted / insured against. That (I think) makes total cost easily predictable.

My observations are from US where more than one family I know bought a house (old house, expensive because of the good school district, which is why they bought it), assumed low maintenance costs, then got hit with some sizeable repairs (as the house is old). Not trying to generalize, that's just what I saw.
The real question to ask is "Why am I plotting a million points?"

>Human desires are unlimited.

Actually they are quite limited on their own. And they're not usually about things either -- aside from food and shelter, people want sex, love, security, etc.

That's why it takes a whole lot of convincing, advertising, conditioning etc. to get people to consume at the level modern societies do (and it took a whole lot of convincing, installment buying, easy credit etc. and nagging to jump start this trend, back in the pre-WWII days).
You're conflating application state with request state. Updating application state based on a request is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, but it necessarily invites the possibility of a memory (or database, file, etc) leak. Either PHP can't update application state at all or it can and necessarily suffers from the same potential to leak memory (I suspect the latter, since an application without side-effects would be worthless).
Machine Learnings #13: Rotting organs and self aware machines
I own and love the Fuji X100 (older version). Loved the pictures it took and brought it during many vacations. I also own the Sony A6000, and have used manual old lenses -- and the pictures I took with it are amazing as well. However, the last couple of vacations, I am now leaning more towards just using the phone I have at all times. My iPhone! I think this is the predicament of all SLRs. As smartphones improve their cameras, most will be transitioning to using those instead.
That's fair enough. But a lot of business spends a lot of hours creating a value proposition for it's employees. That turns this idea into a self-fulfilling prophesy sort of work environment.
You paint a bit of a false dichotomy there with the starvation scenario.

You can easily have a system where a large number of people are unemployed and everyone still gets fed and employed people don't feel resentment.

Do you think men resented their wives for the centuries when it was normal for wives to be homemakers? I would hope not.

> I don't see how assuming the data are IID from a Gaussian is a meager assumption.

It's not. Somehow we have failed to communicate accurately.

I wrote

> But, with just meager assumptions, commonly can still proceed and know that are still making a best L^2 approximation.

In that sentence, I didn't suggest that those "assumptions" were the Gaussian i.i.d. of the previous paragraph. Instead, I left the "assumptions" unspecified. Why? Because there is quite a variety available. But lots of the options are "meager".

Typically with more assumptions, can get more results. But for model fitting, building, constructing, discovering, whatever, can still get a lot with next to nothing in assumptions.
Milton Firedman's most famous work is Capitalism and Freedom and yet within that work, he completely rejects Hollywood blacklists (or "boycotts" if you prefer). If you consider his main point is that under communism, people are un-free, it seems odd that he would sympathize with avowed members of American communist party, who would ultimately like to bring communism to the US, and in Friedman's eyes, result in societal catastrophe. Doubly so given the power of persuasion that Hollywood writers wield. So why does he reject the ability of studio execs to simply exercise their freedom of association, and not contract with blacklisted writers?

The problem in Friedman's eyes is that this boycott reduces to collusion. And under collusion, the benfits of free market dry up: for example, in the free market you can shop your script, no matter who you are, and if your product is good, you could make a living out of it. When firms collude to establish acceptable political beleifs as a pre-condition to an economic exchange, you have reduced the economic freedom of everyone who is not wealthy enough to establish a movie studio for themselves. In effect, you have by-passed democracy ("one person, one vote") and moved to [benevolent] oligarchy ("one chairman, one vote"). As the old saying goes - you're freedom to swing your elbows ends where my nose begins, and so too with economic association. If you would starve a man until he renounced his political preferences - even if you deem them antithetical to the good of society - you're no better than Stalin.
>The real story here is the forced updates. How do people who are planning demos and presentations handle this? It's my worst nightmare.

Manually run the update check every 2-3 days and run it again two hours before the presentation. Any updates that come out in that two hour window will allow you at least one delay.

Come on, folks, this isn't exactly rocket science here. Keep your OS up to date and, surprisingly enough, you won't have any problems caused by it being not up to date.

EDIT: May I also remind everyone that your corporate IT security policy almost certainly requires you to keep the OS on your work PCs up to date?
I was going to say that I doubt the original inventor thought it would "make him rich", that it was just an idea that he wanted to realize and perhaps make some money off it. That would be the reasonable way to look at it.

Unfortunately, the guy seems to have gotten busy "enforcing" the IP on copycats in China. The only people who will get any enjoyment out of that is lawyers. Sounds like he's embarking on a miserable never-ending game of wack-a-mole. And for what? A forgettable bauble-store item for impulse buyers on vacation?
Well, what's consumerism to one isn't to another. If you're going to discuss needs and say somebody doesn't "need" something, then frankly there is a lot that we don't "need". To sustain life we could probably all get by as farmers and anything else would just be more than we "need".
Agreed. I jumped on the X series train when the X-Pro1 first came out, and it's been an absolute joy to use. I've been especially appreciative of the firmware releases that continually improve their cameras.
I'm a semi-pro photographer, do commercial work from time to time, get flown to shoot weddings across the globe.

$1600 is a ridiculous amount of money for this camera, considering the competition.

$1600-1700 buys you a used Sony A7s, the king of low light photography and video (if you don't count the new prototype from Canon), and it's full frame, unlike X-T2.

$1650 buys you a used Canon 5D mark III, which is also full frame, and is a great photo camera, which can also shoot RAW video with custom firmware.
I think that the key factor here is the access to the knowledge (science books, papers etc) and industrial capacity.

What many people fancy here based on my observation is the removal of stress to work on job with low productivity because of fear of becoming homeless and starving instead of working on some personal project that may or may not lead to success.
>People like me late 20's and younger might be feeling that they have no future. At least I do. I am working full-time and thats fine. That only pays my day to day expenses, coming the end of the month am always out of money waiting for the next paycheck. Me buying my own house? That sounds like some sort of sorcery to me...

That strongly resonates with my own thoughts, so kindly allow me to let you on a little secret.

The secret is, working for others you can AT MOST expect 20% of the value you produce. If you want to live beyond paycheck to paycheck (espetially applicable in Europe and Latin America where its literally paycheck to paycheck for expenses) you gotta work for yourself.
Entitled or not, it sucks to know that our American parents and grandparents could buy homes, and we cannot. You could be nicer about "yeah it sucks, I hear you, but all is not lost..."

If you're going to play Devil's advocate, at least put some effort into it.
US social security will have no "solvency" problem unless one of two things happens:

- political decision(s) are made with the intent of making it insolvent.

- a very long period of zero growth, or moderate period of deep recession. Worse or longer than the post-2008 crisis.
A big one is managing software which you didn't write: if you have two things which expect to be able to write to /etc/mydaemon.conf etc. you either need to burn a VM for each one, fork the startup scripts or take the Debian-style approach of maintaining patches which make everything configurable, or manage something like maintaining chroots directory hierarchies.

(repeat for network namespacing: it's really nice not to need to play games to have your CI server start 3 running jobs which all think they're listening on port 80)

None of that is impossible – in the case of chroot there's many years of precedent - but if you do it regularly, there's a strong appeal to automating a common pattern.

This is especially true when your goal is supporting development teams: with something like Docker, normal users don't need root just to start a daemon on a privileged port or write to a couple of files. If you work in a large or security-conscious environment, that's a fairly big draw.

(Not saying that Docker is perfect or necessarily the long-term winner in this space, only that there's a usability gap which a lot of people fall into).
I would love to see a Tesla motorcycle. Not for the sake of a Tesla motorcycle, but the amount of pressure it would put on all of the other manufacturers. KTM Freeride-E is tempting but $14k is too much for that little range. Tesla would be some serious competition.
Debugging Go code generation
For what it's worth, I regularly "pull the virtual plug" on my Win10 VM during updates because fuck you it's time to go home, and I've never had it fail to boot the day after. It's obviously an unacceptable solution to the problem, but it's at least not disastrously fatal in most cases.

> Well maybe we should stop backing people into a corner then?

I agree with you thus far...

> For example, why don't back down on immigration?

But why this? I would ask for one thing: Rationality and existence of a connection.

For example, if my country Germany is any guide, the parts of the country with the most fear of immigration are the ones least affected by it! Given that missing connection, how would it solve anything to listen to the demand of people in those regions to limit immigration?

I agree with you - but only if the people demanding something are actually affected by it, both ways (i.e. by the thing itself as well as by what they demand).

I will note that those things have value,especially dependent on where you are and what context you exist in socially. There are conversations about tv shows, actors, whatever new show is on Netflix that you will be isolated from without access. There are friends and family with apple products that don't work well with a cheaper phone, such as the messaging system on iPhone. It becomes an obstacle to social activities, which is necessary. Similarly, wearing expensive clothing may become a basis of not looking like a slob in front of your friends or family. There's nothing wrong with that, either. It all depends on context.

Trying to ignore all these things as not necessary also ignores the context in which they exist in. It feels dismissive to call that entitlement when one doesn't even know the circumstances in which someone else lives.
I think he was saying that they're hypocrites.
