But I can't see the audience accepting a digital puppet of a character they're intimately familiar with.

Much more likely that part of Episode 8 would be reshot to kill her character off and leave the rebels at a nadir. For example if there's any scenes of her traveling from A to B, just reuse part of that material and blow the ship up as it approaches its destination. Reshooting to solve story problems in post is quite common and losing the leader of the rebel alliance is the sort of narrative problem that would fit right in with the series' ethos.

Many conservatives would agree with much in this list. It's hard to consider things like eradication of Ebola infections as negative.
How are they obstructing justice by simply asking for a warrant? Should they simply divulge private recordings to any random cops that ask for it? Is that how you wish companies treat your data?
To avoid the math for the customers, restaurant can simply advertise price before service (like all restaurants), and add a compulsory service charge (say 15%).

In terms of incentive, what about firing the low-performers, like in other industries.

You are implying that tipping as an incentive works, I disagree, in my experience people tip based on the overall experience and a large part of that is taste which the wait staff has no influence over. What about a bonus for everybody, based on the profit made that month?

My employer is doing a lot of this, mostly for cost reduction. Keeping live data in ElasticSearch (or some other horizontally scalable system) is expensive. Far cheaper to keep a small portion live and the rest in S3.

Also worth mentioning that managed ES in AWS has a hard limit of 20 data nodes with 512GB of EBS. We've outgrown that and are now looking hard at alternatives like this.
Last I looked at WebRTC it fell back to TCP if it couldn't open a UDP session which means it's fairly useless as a game protocol.

I don't think that it matters how it should be. The question of how things should be is... pointless. We can speculate about that all day and it won't make a difference.

"Senior" software engineers are shippers. They're the ones that have the ability to deliver on time without stepping on their own garbage. Any training that the company can offer will be in gravitating toward being a better "shipping" programmer.

Don't look to companies to provide the kind of environment that the thinking programmer needs. Thinking programmers fit better in non-corporate scenarios. Hobbyists, academics, etc. Without the business imperative breathing down their neck, the programmer can stop and think about what they're doing. When a company does foster the slow-burn software work that the thinking programmer does, then it's because that company has more money than they know what to do with, and the bean counters are busy on other parts of the ledger.

It worked against the French in the Algerian war. It worked against the British in the creation of modern Israel. The US is out of Iraq because of sustained terrorists attacks after "Missions Accomplished"

The point of those attacks in western countries is to force their hand and make them withdraw their occupying forces. To rethink their foreign policy and make sure they don't see it as worth it anymore.

The biggest hawks were for the Iraq War before they were against. Then the troop body count was getting higher from sniper and IED attacks. A few years later a new president and electorate doesn't see the cost as worth staying and the withdrawal occurs. Terrorists mission accomplished!
You can include quotes in arguments on Unix systems.
The only tricky bit is getting meta-characters past the shell to the command the shell executes.

Example

#!/bin/bash

This prints

And if you really understand that ' and " turn quoting on and off anywhere in the line, you can combine these two into a single variable:

#!/bin/bash
Q1="'"'"'
echo "$Q1"
I mistakenly thought Signal was an app on your phone that encrypted/decrypted text messages. What part of that has to be online, other than getting updated public keys, or is that the part that was blocked?
A quasi public organization fell for the lamest possible type of fishing attack which allowed for the most honest campaign information we've ever seen and now at the highest level of government we're beating the drums of war. How does this possibly make sense? It's double dumb to be broadcasting your intent too!

If public facing government action is needed it seems that it should be around mandating better/effective security practices.

I'm calling BS. East Asia basically just means China, because it dwarfs other populations. IMHO >60% of Chinese were certainly not living in extreme poverty in 1990, unless economically defined via free market rhetoric and bad statistics. The reality is that people used to grow more of their own food and buy less, so the need for free-market capital was limited. Perhaps this is the source of the mistake.

There was and still is far more extreme poverty in South Asia.
I owe every ounce of my love of reading to Richard Adams and Watership Down.

Watership Down was the first book of its size that I read and it had a profound effect on me that has significantly directed my life. I enjoyed it so much that I kept reading after the book was finished. This led to reading and loving anything written by J. K. Rowling, Isaac Asimov, Ernest Cline, John Grisham, Robert Greene, Orson Scott Card (despite later finding out of his personal flaws), and many other amazing authors.

Many years later, I'm still a huge fan of books, although I no longer read as much fiction as I'd like.

Perhaps it's time to sit down again and go on an adventure with some rabbits.
Neither statement is untrue... You're absolutely correct that the AHA doesn't recommend a pulse check for lay people. But if you know they have a weak pulse, then clearly you did a pulse check, and CPR would not be indicated.

VT with a pulse is not defibrillated, it is cardioverted. If someone is being defibrillated, they are either in VFib or pulseless VTach. In either case, no pulse. Do not ever, ever, ever defibrillate someone with a pulse.
The tone of Colbert and Seth Meyers seems a bit more upbeat than Trevor Noah.

I think Noah will wear on people sooner; to me his tone is more bleak/grim (ignoring content, which is sometimes insightful). His interviews have a more upbeat tone, IIRC.

Signal does not include the text message encryption feature anymore. It's an internet-based messenger.
Oh you're right, well guess I'm getting too old to remember my elementary school days :). That Newbery list was pretty much where I got all of my memorable reading at that age, including Rats of NIMH and the High King (aka the Black Cauldron series), so I must have conflated it with Watership Down. Seems more likely that I liked NIMH enough that a librarian recommended Watership Down.

And for programmers who are desperate to use type-level integers, there exists typenum, which is an encoding of integers in Rust's type system. They can also be used to parameterize array length (the generic-array crate), one of the main uses of such a beast.

That said, I am also looking forward to true type-level integers; they're needed for the truly proper translation of fixed size arrays in the Fuchsia IDL (fidl).
Is it spelt that way, though?

X is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER X

Χ is GREEK CAPITAL LETTER CHI

Everywhere I have ever seen it spelt, it has been written with the Latin letter. I have never seen it spelt as "arχiv" or "arΧiv", only ever as "arXiv".

I can understand why, for example, having a Greek letter in the URL would be undesirable, but if one is going to consider that letter to be Chi, then that should be the authoritative spelling and it should actually be spelt that way where possible.

Demand for a good or service is what's going to drive employment. Why would I keep a worker around, even at zero cost, if I didn't need them to be employed?

I bartended for a couple years (and waiting tables was a part of that). it's actually pretty easy. After their food comes out, ask if they need anything else. If you see an empty glass, ask if they want a refill. Otherwise, just drift by occasionally and pay attention to the table. If they need you, they'll be looking to make eye contact / flag you down as you walk by and you won't need to say anything if they don't want you. Basically just don't be one of those servers that stands at the wait-station or bar, playing with your phone or socializing with co-workers without paying attention.

In my opinion, absent of delivering food, asking if people want refills, or addressing an obvious problem, you really shouldn't be interrupting people. The end result is good service without being annoying.
Nothing linkbaity about it. "Dread" as in "fear of God" is a common theme in western Christianity, especially around Bach's time (and still is in some cases today, cf. the Rastafarian dreadlocks being a symbol of respect for the power of God). And in this sense, "fear" is meant less as "scary haunted house" kind of fear, and more as respect and obedience to the divine power.

Also of interest: the etymology of the word "dread"[0]; Fear-God Barebone, the brother of the more famous Praise-God Barebone, for whom the "Barbone's Parliament" during the English Commonwealth takes its name[1][2]; and the theological theory behind the idea of the fear of God[3].

> I know I don't want parents/grandparents ODing on heroin in a parking lot with a child in the back of the car. [1] So where does society start to fix this?

1. Provide universal access to free abortions and contraception so that people who do not want to have children will not be forced into childbirth.

2. End the war on drugs so that people can have access to safe opiates and clean needless. When both are available at your liquor store for less than the cost of a six-pack of beer, you will find that suddenly addicts can both hold down a job because they do not have problems with withdrawal symptoms due to uncertain supply, and the violent and larceny crime rates plummet because affordability and price gouging by dealers is no longer an issue.

That's correct - AIUI, the ssh utility has to smush the command & arguments into a single string, because that's all the protocol's "exec" request can handle:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4254#section-6.5

And I guess it can't really do any quoting/escaping, because there's no guarantees in the protocol as to how such things will be interpreted server-side - the command line could be interpreted by cmd.exe on the server for all `ssh` knows ;)

With that in mind, I've made it a habit to always quote the command-and-parameters part of `ssh` lines into a single argument - I figure, that's what it's doing anyway, so it's best to be explicit about it. And when I know I'm working with bash on both ends, my pattern of choice is

ssh host "$(printf '%q ' cmd arg 'arg with spaces' "$var" ...)"

>For many people in dying rust belt towns, no amount of "real retraining" is going to make a difference. Universal access to all the skills in the world is of little use when realizing that value means having to leave your family home, the only community you've ever known, and move to a scary metroplex. Everything costs more there! The people are different - they look different, talk different, think different, work different.

Then we have to talk about the fact that under capitalism, these people are condemned to starve. Only something like a basic income can really help them.
The issue is that their LaTeX installation is fairly old, so there's a real chance of running into old bugs that have long since been fixed. It's a bit tiresome to work around those. I've had issues with their pgfplots version and had to resort to compiling the figures to pdf locally and including those.
I am not getting paid to do this, and actually am taking some time to be with the family for holidays. I just saw the original comment saying that YT "fuck(s) it up" when it comes to CC, and it looked OK to me. So, I just wanted to share my results so that people do not assume "it's screwed up everywhere". I do know that the engineers I have met at work really want to try to do the right thing for users.

I don't have access to file a bug through a work account for the next few days, and if you come across any issues (like CC broken by default), please file a bug with a lot of details. People do look at that stuff. I am glad that you found the source of the issue, and I hope you can agree that it would've been impossible to find it if I had just filed a bug. I do not work anywhere close to the team that implemented the CC, and when people have said "file a bug" to me in a work context, they have meant it as a way to "let's keep track of this so it's not forgotten". Luckily, the people I have met at work have been good about this. I do not speak for Google or anyone else there, just sharing my own personal experience.

Can I just make a general plea?

You should upload your paper to arXiv. When you do, please upload your source (tex, or word I imagine), as well as a PDF.

For the blind, PDF is the worst possible format, and tex and word are the best formats. Don't hide, or lose, the blind-accessible version of your paper.
... which is exactly my point. They apparently exist, and would even appear to work correctly, until some scrutiny is applied.
As it turns out, you probably have Democracy in your city, county and state...unless you're electing representatives that will be making the decisions on your behalf for the next few years.

As others have pointed out in this thread, many other countries have wonderful systems in place that work without mandatory tipping.

I saw an early interview where an early founder was saying they were going to put google out of business. Wasnt a good sign.
There is one HUGE reason for not using PDFs -- PDFs are very blind-inaccessable, whereas tex is perfect.

For that reason alone, arXiv is really helping the blind community in academia.

I see that a lot of people say that police did that because it is incompetent. But what if this is actually a way for police and other low tier agencies to check how much Amazon collects? I bet NSA would never work with police and most likely not much with FBI etc. So this might be just a check? This is just a speculation, but we should not assume stupidity of some of the agencies just because its an easy answer.
From a security perspective, C is inadequate.

The implication here being that Rust is adequate, I take it? Let us not circle around the issue!

You could assert the same for assembler, and yet, assembler is the ultimate programming - the last stop: highest performance, maximum control, no safety. When then, was the last time you heard or read someone claiming that "assembler is inadequate", especially when it comes to security?

I could think of no language more adequate to push the electronics to their limit, and beyond, as Commodore 64 teaches us over and over again, even in 2016.

All I want to say is that your argument rings hollow. Yes, C has no safety. If my code has a hole, it will be noone's fault but my own. And that's the way I like it: it is far more preferable to an ultracomplex programming language like Rust.

And finally, a Zen koan: I was troubleshooting some code today, which I wrote in AWK. Now the code transformed the data exactly as I had coded it, and the code was 100% correct, the transformed data was exactly as expected, yet no output was coming out.

Everything which was in the program was 100% correct. The problem wasn't in that which was in the program, but that which was not: there was no clause to output the transformed data. There is enlightment to be had from this tale, specifically about security, and even more specifically about Rust the programming language and its compiler.
That is not an excuse. Defence in depth is a thing.
