> Again, you can't dismiss the civil war as 'partisan' because one political party wanted slaves and the other did not.

'partisan' is not a dismissive word and you can certainly call the civil war 'partisan' - that's the very definition.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/partisan

The video is partisan because it clearly reflects the viewpoint of one side and not the other, and the Civil War was fought by two partisan groups: the anti-slavery North and the pro-slavery South.

>In a country where a state GOP party researched the ways that blacks voted specifically to find the ways to best disenfranchise them, it's pretty safe to say these battles have been fought over racial lines for a long time. Trying to pretend these fights aren't over racial lines is again trying to establish some sort of false equivalency.

The fights are over racial lines - but they're also over socioeconomic lines and it's certainly not a unique problem to the US.

>You're incorrect. Minority voters are disproportionately affected by curtailing early voting because of precisely the situations you just mentioned, which is presumably why the game raised those issues. People who work hourly jobs have a harder time taking time off in large numbers to vote, and especially if those voters can't afford to stand in a line for hours at a time. The game is showing precisely why those long lines are intended to hurt those voters.

I didn't make that statement so I don't know what you're talking about. People who are already on the line aren't working. In this case she made the decision before finding out her child had dysentery. I agree with your point ... but the video game simply didn't address it.

People seem to be too rash to bash him about subsidies. Yes, they were standard before. No, phones at the time did not cost nearly as much. Prices of modern top-notch smartphones are insane. The trick was in hiding the price and Ballmer just did not expect how much people are willing to pay monthly. I wouldn't guess it either.

Having followed the history of Docker since its LXC roots and it decided to write its own LibContainer library the only thing I want to point out is:

> It's not correct to say Docker was designed "not" to do persistent data.

Actually...looking at a lot of things "missing from" or "difficult in" Docker can more or less be traced back to Docker's overriding philosophy of container runtimes. Things like not having an init process and optimizing user experience around single "Run" commands.

Having relatively recently done a container retrospective, following the path of:

OpenVZ -> LXC -> Docker -> now (CoreOS, Rancher, LXD, Mesos, etc.)

I can't help but feel as if some of the "limitations" of Docker were more or less designed.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, being a Python enthusiast I see value in simplicity/having only one way of doing things...but I just wanted to point out that where you draw the line for what is considered "designed" starts to get blurry in areas of Docker's chosen implementation.
The problem with zones was that you used them to run solaris which as a distribution was a complete disaster. Maybe it worked if the only thing you them for was to run oracle.

I had created a bunch of solaris zones and then had the great idea to patch them.. everything broke.

I'm actually using smartos at home now. kvm and debian lx zones. works great. A solid platform with a UX that doesn't make me want to kill myself.
This is also why I've messed with hackintosh in dual boot or old machines but never for too long. To get one that's stable, you need to build a machine with 100% compatible parts. That's not terribly difficult but I don't usually build machines just for running something like a hackintosh.

When I go to build a new desktop workstation every 5 years or so, I want to pick the components based off bang for the buck, not just compatibility with hackintosh installations. And if I really need MacOS to run something work-related, I'm not gonna count on a hobbyist project like that to do it. I'm gonna get work to pay for Apple hardware or take it out of whatever freelance budget I have.

I guess if I had both the budget to build a second workstation for MacOS stuff and a strong desire to run non-employment-related MacOS-only software, I might just build a 100% compatible hackintosh but as it stands, there's nothing I really absolutely need that only runs on MacOS so instead I just use my Windows desktop workstation for just about everything, my Asus notebook for mobile DJ/VJ gigs, and the ancient MBP I got for free a while back for the rare occasion that I want to screw around with something that only runs on MacOS.

Stroom: GCHQ – a data processing, storage and analysis platform
To me, in some ways, it's not all that different from the people whose jobs get replaced by off-shoring or by remote workers --they will seldom say "no" to training the exact people who will be taking away their jobs. It's like a weird Stockholm syndrome.
Read the ZeroMQ manual. That's the most important part of ZMQ, as it's the clearest and best guide to your options for partitioning a task and arranging communication between software processes.

After that, you can implement your stuff in 0MQ, AMQP, nanomsg, or whatever else. I fully expect nanomsg and 0MQ to compete with each other on Github over the next 5 years or so, and I personally won't take sides.

For me, I use the manual to design programs I then write in Rust, a lot of it with no explicit message passing at all. (REQ-REP and PUSH PULL become simple function calls, sometimes mediated through thread spawning, and sometimes not, for example.)
Fortunately, the country with the largest number of Internet users is still a no-Google zone.
Was going to post that. It's fairly consistent with what you'd expect, too.

I suspect it'll give a lot of "Gary Johnson" and "Jill Stein" answers (I saw the poll on my mother's Facebook along with a few hundred replies on what it suggested), but people will end up voting Clinton or Trump.
I'm never going to be in that kind of billion dollar bet situation, so I'm always trying to think of how to relate these experiences to my level of execution. To that end I do see a thread of matching product to pricing model:

- While I hate it, it's extremely clear that if you're in the mobile space you'll make more money doing free+IAP than charging up front. While some things could change this structure (built in support for time limited or account trials, and better paths to upgrade), it seems like it's here to stay on the consumer side.

- Kind of similarly, the innovation of SAAS+PAAS is in many ways that its cheaper + easier to pay by the month than to hire people in house and or sign them up for a six figure bill and 20% support+maintenance in perpetuity.
> One of my goals in life is to make sure that the experiment continues. I would like to raise an endowment to keep the experiment going on in perpetuity.

That would be awesome! This experiment is so interesting and truly one of a kind, it would be a major loss to see it go.

In the most basic terms, not even talking about frequency, the mechanics of this is that one series of numbers (pixel values, audio samples, etc.) is replaced, according to some recipe or another, with a different series of numbers from which the original can be recovered (using a similar "inverse" recipe). The benefit of doing this comes from the discovery that this new series has more redundancy in it and can be compressed more efficiently than the original, and even if some of the data are thrown away at this point, the purpose of which is to make compression even more effective, the original can still be recovered with high fidelity.
10 Steps to Build a Killer Product Roadmap
Yeah, but I'd rather not fight misunderstandings with misinformation.

It's more true to say, like you do, that it's about loss of physical custody. But the presentation said theft.

You are more correct in your phrasing, but even that doesn't cover my example of swapping hard drives around. If someone hacks the low security server and finds that it still has customer data in the unwritten blocks of the FS, or in remapped sectors, then that's not loss of physical custody, but it would have been prevented by FDE.

And honestly, who would not scan for deleted data after hacking a machine? It's not a tiny detail.
Actually, what you wrote there has some false parts. They send a certified letter and will put a lien on you bank account for the amount if you don't respond fast enough[1]. They add interest immediately, there is no grace period. You can arrange monthly payments (they are required to let you do this the first time). They will deduct the money you owe from the next year's return.

1) Fast enough can get a little weird. Had to loan a friend money because of a mistake and he didn't even get the letter before the lien happened. Saw him pull up his bank account on a Monday morning after his card was rejected at breakfast. He came in the next day with the certified letter and listened to him call the IRS about the problem with his return. They did get new computers a couple years ago, and it was not a good thing since it seemed they might have sent the first letter to a prior address. They were sorry, but too bad.

Gates-Ballmer era in Microsoft was incredibly successful, but not because they had technological insight or creativity.

It's hard to come up with any technological innovations from inside Microsoft in 80's and 90's. Microsoft strategy was to buy out companies that seemed to build something new and either integrate the software or bury it. Gates and Ballmer were both smart and ultra-aregressive ruthless businessmen. Technology was always secondary to business.

Few examples of their failures and corrective measures: The internet and the browser, Java and Smartphones. In each case they were hopelessly late and their reaction was buying spree, failure and repeat until success.

I'm reminded of the time back in the early 90s when president Bush (Sr.) was amazed at grocery store technology, having likely never shopped for his own groceries for decades [1]. It was really embarrassing and highlighted how he struggled with relating to common people.

Your example was extreme with the 'running them off the road' bit, but actually meditation isn't helpful unless it pushes you to that breaking point.

You need to get worked up, speak your mind, start the argument, quit your job when things get too bad. Life isn't a float on the lazy river. Feelings of anger and pain exist for a reason.

Thats why meditation, as it's sold, is bullsh*t. You're describing an alternative to xanax.
Great reply. I really know that the world wouldn't become a better place, but I'm sure that some karate lessons would make feel better than meditation :-)
But much higher hardware requirements for both encoding and decoding. Encoding is like 8x slower too.
My point is that the fact that you need to recompile a kernel or do some pkg install to get (for example) a machine that supports 32gb is never an excuse NOT to get it. And people do open their laptops (ex: upgrade from HDD to SSD) or install new kernels (ex: docker support).

Don't take my post as a superior class claim. If I say I am a pro, and I say I need 32 gb I go and get it. Don't care if I have to spend a day installing arch because 32gb are worth it. Ofc theres all shades of gray and I understand people like to look to antialiased fonts instead of green-on-black, or don't like to learn a new package manager syntax but please that is absolutely not directly related to the delivery. The time you spend configuring a system is completely amortised over time, if the system is better.

> But I think it'd be a tough sell to any business to have their users presented with a certificate error message for up to four days because Globalsign screwed up.

Are you making the argument that a business would want the ability to turn off HTTPS enforcement temporarily in case something like the GlobalSign thing happens? Because I think that's a terrible idea. They should just switch to a different CA, or get the CA to sign a certificate that's not impacted by that issue (which I believe GlobalSign offered). Even excluding Let's Encrypt, the price tag for that is < $10 and it's done in a matter of minutes (and only getting better with ACME). Since we're talking about businesses here, better yet: Have a backup certificate from a different CA ready. This is really no different than all the other things you'll need to do to run a reliable service (like have more than one web server). It's not like one CA screwing up means your domain is dead until they've resolved the issue. Same thing goes for HPKP, since a backup pin is required.

Your argument is also not specific to HSTS/HPKP - you're basically saying that HTTPS in general is dangerous for a business because of this. If your site offers HTTPS without HSTS and without redirecting to HTTPS by default, you'd still have users who bookmark HTTPS links, or search engines indexing those links and all of those would also fail, with no way for you to fix it other than switching CAs.

> This is yet another problem that could be solved with DNS signing -- both the risks of HSTS and HPKP would be gone.

I don't want to get into yet another DNSSEC discussion (that's what we have @tptacek for, anyway), but I don't see a huge difference here. Switching CAs can be done in less time than the TTL you're suggesting. Practically speaking, if you want to factor in "time to find a new CA" or something like that, I'd argue that most people won't run their own DNSSEC infrastructure and rather use something like Cloudflare, so the same "time to find a new <foo>" principle would apply here if they've messed up in a way that takes a long time to resolve.

"(if technically challenged) simply bought it physically and then ripped it to iTunes."

Minor nitpick, but ripping from CD to iTunes in the early days was a nontrivial process for the technically challenged. I'd argue that audiophiles were the group most likely to have done this, i.e., to get lossless music files. (The resulting file sizes were monstrous, of course, and this eventually led to some storage issues. But I digress.)

I'd argue that the technically challenged were the vanguard of buying music files on iTunes. The tech-savvy were torrenting, and everyone else found the iTunes store a really easy way to click and download music. In fact, I distinctly remember snarky comments back in the day about how paying $0.99 per track on iTunes was "a tax on technical illiteracy."
