The problem is, it's anything but tangential. It flows directly from the French Revolution, and became a big thing in the US in the cultural '60s, which extended into the calendar '70s, the idea that the menu of solutions for your political problems includes outright liquidation of a subset of your opponents.

How can I consider this to be tangential when our current President started his political career in the home of two of the most notorious '70s figures advocating this, who made a wild guess that 10% of the population could not be reeducated and would have to be liquidated? You might say, people they thought to be "irredeemable". And these are people of Hillary's generation.

I bring this up not to attack Obama, but to show how well received such eliminationism is on the US Left (heck, in one of those things that makes you wonder if there's a God, the man had a feature article in The New York Times on 9/11 (written and printed before the attack, of course), with him standing on an American flag).

That this sort of thing, including Hillary's speech, is not completely out of bounds means I cannot for a second assume the political struggle in the US is not existential for me and my family.

And given that, I can't in the least see how trust can be rebuilt, at least prior to driving out of polite society all of these figures, instead of feating them.

So, yes, it is, and unfortunately has to be a complete derail of the conversation, given that to the best I can discern you're not taking this issue seriously.

Can I ask roughly how old are you? Did you grow up horrified at the mass murders by the tens of millions by the Left in the 20th Century, including by the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei AKA National Socialist German Workers' Party? How the Soviets were poised to kill > 100 million Americans in 30 minutes if they launched their misses and bombers? How Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge (Red Khmers, formally the Communist Party of Kampuchea per Wikipedia) killed off perhaps half their nation's people. How just having glasses was a death sentence, because it suggested to them that you might have a formal education?

What's your opinion on the US crusade for gun control? Is it really about "gun safety"? Has it become something more sinister than the explicit through the 1970s "Keep guns out of the hands of blacks" (and other minorities starting around the turn of the century, but blacks were the foremost target)?
Those jobs are never coming back, though. For example, when China basically sucked up all the textile jobs in the 80s-90s from the South (states like North Carolina) they were able to do so with very cheap wages. Now? China is competing with Vietnam for those same jobs and their solution is to automate as much as possible. Oddly enough, some of those textile jobs remain and only because we've been ahead of the curve with automation. A textile plant today in the US has very few actual employees. And they're not paid much more than their predecessors since the cost of living in their area is very low. So, Trump either has to get a time machine or figure out a way to pay these people who have been permanently displaced in their jobs. Trump won't do what's needed which is the one thing that will ultimately set the country on the right course: abandon capitalism. And by the way, nor would Clinton do what I'm suggesting here since she knows who butters her bread.

Echoing the above, this is extremely important. Before jumping into any of the container orchestration tools you should familiarize yourself with terminology of Docker and it's concepts. I made the mistake of jumping in to Swarm (still unstable IMO) and Docker Compose before fully grasping how containers talked to each other, along with many other concepts I should have read up on first. (Un)fortunately, Docker is changing rapidly and the documentation doesn't always keep up. If something in the official docs doesn't make sense, Google around to gain better context.

Yes, is that difficult?

I disagree, the degrees of freedom Gawker had were far too much, it didn't even try to be fair. What actual good did Gawker do?
I keep my recurring subscriptions to a minimum too, so I understand. But, funding the procurement of statistically significant numbers of multiple models of SSD drives, running them through to end-of-life characterization, and keeping that all updated as new models come out is a higher spending profile than your typical blogger. It seems more like a business research report or recurring lab test type of service.
Honestly, this whole post sounds like an amateur complaining about how hard it is to become a proffesional. Grow up.

> No one is saying all Trump supporters are racists

> 99% of the big vocal trump supporters at this side of the ocean are racist and xenophobic like there is no tomorrow. In this country the only political trump supporters are the ones that has historic ties with the nazi's

So, not all, just 99% of the vocal ones. Or, in some country, all the ones with historical ties to the Nazis...
A full range is max-min. In the case of CO₂, the usual level is 200-250 ppm, with warm periods reaching as high as 300 ppm, giving a range of 100. The recent warm period of 10,000 years had it up to 280, and it reached 300 around 1900. The current level is 400 ppm.

The six gases in the atmosphere that appear above 60 ppm have a combined mass of about 14.85 g/mol. Removing 100 ppm of CO₂ would reduce the mass of the atmosphere by 1.23 g/mol, or 8%. To convert that to kg/year, we have to take 8% of the mass of the atmosphere, roughly 5.14E18 kg, and divide by 100 years.

So a range is 4 thousand million million kg per year, or 4000 short scale gigatons per year, and is absolutely able to make a bulge in the atmosphere.

edit: I re-calculated the mass of the atmosphere. assuming that CO₂=C+O₂. This time I got 14.3790 g/mol, where replacing 100 PPM of CO₂ with O₂ reduces the mass by 0.0012 g/mol or 0.008%. That would correspond to 4 gigatons per year, whereas current estimates are 40 gigatons per year.
Maybe Peter Their could influence the Trump administration to provide federal funding for open source projects used in government and private sector projects.
My choice is consistently ThinkPad T series. This, among other things, was one of the machines Google supplied to their engineers as a Linux laptop.

The high-resolution screen story of these laptops is somehow underwhelming. OTOH a matte screen by default is priceless; I can withstand a full HD 14" screen pretty well. Especially because X has much better font anti-aliasing for smaller fonts than OSX, so my Emacs and terminal windows look more readable even with lower DPI.

A Thinkpad series T is not sleek, but I don't care. I care about the ability to cram a lot of battery power into it, though.

In such cases, I use "torture" test cases: lengthy, random test cases, which are trying to abuse and overload system with no data, incorrect data, random data, huge data, high latencies, duplicated messages, missed messages or random aborts, random speaks, etc. They allows me to discover situations not covered by test cases. I also try to use underpowered hardware for such testing. Of course, I cannot imagine all possible torture scenarios, but I saw lot of bug and security reports, so I still know lot of scenarios, more than I willing to write tests for.
Is there a medical person here who can help me out with this? Take these excerpts from the article:

"He suggested using the newly invented stethoscope to listen for a heartbeat – if the doctor didn’t hear anything for two minutes, they could be safely buried."

"An electrical engineer from Brooklyn, New York, had been investigating why people die after they’ve been electrocuted – and wondered if the right voltage might also jolt them back to life."

"Starting in the 1950s, doctors across the globe began discovering that some of their patients, who they had previously considered only comatose, in fact had no brain activity at all."

"They had discovered the ‘beating-heart cadavers’, people whose bodies were alive though their brains were dead."

"In some cases, their hearts kept beating and their organs kept functioning for a further 14 years – for one cadaver, this strange afterlife lasted two decades."

Now... If the brain were dead (by my understanding of a 'dead' organ - its cells have died), wouldn't the brain start either decomposing or being absorbed by the body? If that happens, it's a pretty clear indication that the brain is truly dead. But if it doesn't happen, doesn't that mean the brain cells are still alive (just not communicating for some reason)? And in that case (living cells with a blank EEG), couldn't there be a way to jump-start their communication, as was previously discovered with hearts?

I'm sure that I'm completely ignorant of some critical factor, and look forward to your thorough discussion of it...

Chris, yes his ban is racist. And, if you feel it isn't racist then let's just agree it is unconstitutional. The Constitution makes it very clear that people can't be singled out because of religion. So, at best, he's eroding the foundations of our democracy with the Muslim ban.

Edit: Islam isn't a race, so there's probably a better word than racist in this case. But the point remains.

Of course I get to deem and enforce what I think is right and wrong, using tools like words and association.

What on earth kind of law do you want to set up where I can't preferentially trade with people whose opinions I like, or preferentially not trade with people whose opinions I don't?

Again, tolerance means I don't want to imprison or kill people with distasteful opinions; it doesn't mean I have to like them or their distasteful opinions.

People can be bigots, they can be jerks. Go nuts, folks, be bigots or jerks, I don't care. But I'm not going to trade with bigots or jerks, I'm not going to hire them, and I'm sure as hell not going to say "hey, you're a bigot and a jerk but tolerance so let's have a beer".

Some people have no place in my life, and the beliefs they hold are a big determining factor in that decision. If they really wanna be my friend or business partner, they can change their beliefs.

Strangely, it depends on the amount of RAM you choose.
I think debate is offensive/avoided these days because we have potential access to 'all' the information we could possibly need and therefore feel inadequate in a discussion where we can't look up things on the fly.

About churn, promotions are one of the issues, and the other is a good salary. Many companies are quite exploitative (that's one way of looking at it). If you can't play hardball with your HR, your freshly hired subordinate's salary might end up being much higher than yours. One way that HR can operate is to reward talent and productivity. The other way is to reward negotiation skills.

I can't empathize with the other points that the author made about India -- because I've never worked on an outsourcing job.

> These are all strategies to add economic friction to importing foreign goods.

They also add economic friction to exporting US made goods, unless these renegotiations somehow manage to result in deals that are very one sided in favor of the US.

The US exports about $310 billion worth of goods annually to Canada, and about $240 billion to Mexico. A lot of US jobs are involved in making those goods.

For some reason I don't understand, exports almost always seem to get overlooked when politicians go on about trade.
I am a layperson as well but as I understand it the brain cells have not died in a brain dead patient, rather there is no sign of communication as you said.

As far as any thoughts of restarting communication, I have no idea.

If anyone is looking into orchestration systems, I can't speak highly enough of Kontena (https://github.com/kontena/kontena). While it is still in the early stages of development, it is a great "small-mid level" platform with a ton of features. The config and concepts are also easy to wrap your head around. We chose Kontena as Swarm is still unstable (imo not "production-ready" but I've seen counter-anecdotes) and Kubernetes was lacking some features we required. The devs have been super helpful with any problems we've had in deployment as well.

I've noticed in one of the samples how the data is stored in a single json file on the server, so I'm curious about how would this scale for very large databases: if I don't want to send the entire dataset to all clients, and send just parts of it for each user, while keeping everything else stored in a traditional SQL db, would that be possible? A real world application of this would be something like Trello, for example.

In addition to multi-node distribution, there are a bunch of things Kubernetes gives you. Things that you may think you don't need, but you probably will if you ever intend to put something into production. To name just a few:

- Secret distribution

- Managing persistent volumes

- Monitoring containers for failure, restarting according to policy

- Service discovery and DNS integration

- Integration with load balancers, setting up routes, etc.

- Managing affinity / non-affinity for containers

- Sharing resources on a cluster via namespaces

I believe that when I am using Windows, my interests are more closely aligned with Microsoft's interests than Kaspersky's. That's why I stopped using Kaspersky in favor of Microsoft's built in security product...and similarly why I stopped using Norton AntiVirus in favor of Kaspersky a few years before that.

Independent of that, running Kaspersky means installing Kaspersky's root kit. That's another low level vulnerability in addition to Microsoft's root privilege. It's simply more attack surface. Fully utilizing Kaspersky means sending telemetry to Kaspersky just as fully utilizing Microsoft's product means sending telemetry to Microsoft. I've no reason to believe Kaspersky less likely to be compromised than Microsoft.

To put it another way, Kaspersky's business, like many in the Windows ecosystem is to AdWords or bloatware their way to rents extraction while free alternatives exist. I'm ok with Microsoft making that model obsolescent and Kaspersky adapting or dying because Kaspersky's argument isn't that it provides significantly better anti-virus protection.

Memory is indeed cheap but the problem is when you run Ruby web services you have every worker taking a minimum of ~400mb. This doesn't sound like much but then with micro-services and other APIs also using that much RAM per worker it adds up fast as all of these servers also need to take this much RAM per concurrent connection you would like to support.

For people starting out that is not so much a problem, but if you have moderate to large traffic you need a lot of machines just for the RAM. This is coupled with the fact that many Ruby libraries eschew streaming of files and connections and put things straight into memory despite Ruby having excellent block constructs that easily allow chunking/streaming. So apps also spike in memory and they need a large overhead as well.
The times that has been done have raised complicated ethical questions beyond the obvious. Many have refused to use the data gathered despite some of the it being potentially helpful as the use of the 'tainted' data gives a validity to the method of gathering.

TDD requires you to draw your target first, then hit or miss it with the code, like in science: hypotheses -> confirmation/declining via experiments -> working theory.

But in practice, lot of coders are hitting a point instead, then they draw target around that point, like in fake science: we throw coin 100 times, distribution is 60/40, our hypothesis: random coin flip has 60 to 40 ratio, our hypothesis confirmed by experiment, huge savings, hooray!
