> What I love about them is how they sell news to everyone, so they've got to make it as factual and unbiased as possible.

As a side point: this is the origin of the "unbiased news" stance: the rise of the third party reporting agencies (Reuters, then AP UPI, AFP), massively accelerated by the telegraph. Previously papers were connected to parties (as they often still are in many countries), but the appearance/practice of being impartial increased sales opportunities.

It since became cited as an inherent virtue; obviously not everybody agrees that it is (or if it's even epistemologically possible). Personally I think it's worth trying for.

The notion that the JVM is not heavy because it needs less than a GB of disk space seems crazy to me. I consider OpenSSL to be wildly bloated because it is over 1 MB.
Forter | Security DevOps | Tel Aviv, Israel | Full-Time

TL;DR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyCCLp3-M0k

Forter is looking for a DevOps Engineer with broad experience in security to join us in the amazing challenge of combating online fraud. We are looking for an experienced DevOps who has faced security challenges such as DDoS mitigation, data breach protection and applying data access policies for almost 100 employees.
We at Forter spend all day stopping online criminals from stealing, and this makes us a logical target for an attack. We’re looking for someone to lead data security compliance at Forter, taking it all the way from designing to implementing and communicating (including documentation) with management and customers. Just to clarify… we are a lean startup with flat-org engineering, and compliance means infrastructure automation, best practices and training, not a long list of policies. The Senior Security DevOps role shall evolve to take ownership on growing needs, beyond security, of Enterprise Readiness.

I saw a ton of liberals yelling at the DNC. Before the election, they were upset that they mistreated Bernie. After the election, they were upset that it handed the victory to Trump.

It has faded away, but that's only because more important things are going on. Trump is an immediate threat to the nation in ways the DNC could never be.
I am nto signing because I have absolutely no confidence that the petition will do anything about this.

We're in for a 4 year marathon of trying to save our country from Trump, and the first thing to do is to estimate what has more of an effect.

Comments and upvotes here are more likely to do some good than signing that petition.

SO is a pretty brutal place from a question experience pov.

The stakes are really high for immigrants. I cannot imagine a worse model unless you have actual lawyers answering questions.
So long-running papers such as the Wall Street Journal, regional / local newspapers with long conservative histories (example: the Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News, etc.), several long running political analysis magazines (National Review, Weekly Standard, American Spectator), even the vast tabloid (New York Post) and AM talk market, are Clinton / Democratic party worshipers? News to me.

Heck, Fox News itself is over 20 years old. So I'm not sure what "long time" you are referring to.

Hi rollulus,

thanks for the info. As far as I understand it you configure the state of the helm release + configured values in a file and apply it to a kube cluster. Depending on your cluster setup this is really helpful.
Do you have a solution for triggering a rolling update of pods if a configmap has changed? In your examples I didn't see any configmaps.

A Loose Theory on the Continuing Cooling of iPad Sales
I would actually strongly disagree with that. Officials need to be able to exchange ideas freely amongst themselves and within confidence in a non-media environment. They need to be able to say things to each other in person, on phones, and in email communications in less discrete terms that otherwise would need to be crafted to appease their political coalitions and oppositions. They need to be able to ask and say stupid things. If you take that away from officials they lose their ability to actually deliberate and think about policy in terms of the merits of the policy. There is a balance to strike in terms of transparency and public accountability, but a transparency free for all in which no communication is private can easily lead to bad policy and outcomes.

Its not too different from not having a client see your business's internal communications. 99% of the time you aren't trying to screw your client and are trying to do a good job for them, but you really don't want to show them the sausage factory in any case because it will make it harder to do a good job for them if everything you do or say is presented to the client.

This was expected. What surprises me is that nobody tried to use the leverage of the parliament to get influence over the implementation of Brexit. For example Theresa May has said Britain will leave the single market, but that was never on the ballot. A couple of weeks ago the news said MP likely would, but then it just went quiet.

In addition to what riprowan said, if you are perfectly logical and rational, but I can control your input data, I can control your conclusions.
Say that we're doing business and I ask you to sign a piece of paper that says that you promise not to tell the police if I burn your house down. Obviously, you think this is pretty ridiculous (and concerning), so you ask in disbelief "wait, so if you burn my house down I can't even tell the police???"

My response to you: "You're being overly aggressive with your attacks. That's not nice. You could have asked a question if you had one, but you're not even asking me a question, this is just an aggressive rethorical question. It's clear that you don't even want clarification. That's not nice and it's not an appropriate way to negotiate a contract"

Would that make any sense to you?

It goes both ways I think. Consider the possibility that there are more people that believe that other 'stupid' people believe these stories than there are 'stupid' people who actually believe these stories.

I agree with the article as a whole. I just personally believe that the median is generally worse to use than the mean, so I believe that if you're going to recommend the median over the mean, you should provide guidelines on when to do so. I know not everyone agrees with me on this (as evidenced by some responses in these comments) but that's the perspective I'm coming from.

> it might be true that "mean" is appropriate in just as many contexts as "median", but at least in my opinion, people cite a "mean" when a "median" would have been appropriate more frequently than the reverse.

Sure, but this is only true because the mean is used so much more. If the whole world was instead taught in grade school to use nothing but the median, there would be just as many (I'd argue more) misuses as there are now, except this time the median would be the offender. People using the median are more likely to be using it inappropriately because it's the nonstandard option, but that's only because they're not using it blindly. If people starting using the median just because, it would suffer the same issue.
Your arguments are strong, however have you considered an algorithm based on the laziness and cheapness of humans? Consider that a lot of propaganda is heavily coordinated and not creative in the sense of being centrally created and issued.

An algorithm could watch, say, 50 sources and see if they simultaneously start using identical phrases, given access to a thesaurus aren't those odds a little unusual? This happened a couple times in the last election. You'd have a much simpler task of quote analysis of course, to exclude directly quoted content.

Then factor in something to detect press releases and video news releases where the verbiage of large sections is identical, this strategy is almost too easy.

Another factor is "large known propaganda sources" simultaneously releasing the story but small propaganda sources don't operate at all because fundamentally there is a size cutoff. The Wash Post will be in every propaganda operation because they are huge, but the "nowheresville register" certainly will not. Real news would of course be covered by both, so it should be very easy to detect organic self organizing behavior vs small scale conspiratorial behavior.

Now algo-proof propaganda could emerge much like handwritten letters to your congressional representative, before being inevitably ignored, are considered more impressive than mere form letters or signing a list. But it would detect at least some fake news based on fake news being part of a coordinated centralized mass produced campaign rather than trying to detect fake news based on its inherent fake-ness itself. Sorta like swatting bugs that bite you or try to, rather than identifying each individual bug then swatting only the mosquitos. Its very difficult to detect if something is a Walmart product, but its easy to detect if its mass produced, if the quality is very low, if it was made in China, if it contains chemicals banned in the USA for safety reasons, and in the long run works just as well.
But this sentence does not change the incorrect definition of concurrency in the previous line.

I don't think parent poster has a problem with people having opposing views, but with media organisations affirming they are unbiased while they are not. And this criticism is not limited to the right wing -- see Chomsky.
Digging Deeper into the Visual Basic Language Strategy
I led our teams to switch from Java to Go because of the productivity of development, but then noticed deployment was simpler and faster, memory usage was slashed (for comparable applications), request/response times were much more consistent, startup was practically instant and as a result we started aggressively rewriting Java applications to Go and saw a notable difference in the number of machines we needed to run in AWS.

So in my situation, the JVM is heavier by every single measure listed, and for each by a considerable margin.

Lol, how quickly we forget: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A

They can read your email at their discretion, via a warrant from a secret court whose proceedings you can neither contest nor attend, and order companies to comply without exposing who for or why they are doing said orders.

Only truly off-the-record end-to-end encrypted communications are safe channels in the United States. And email ain't one of them.
Definitely.

I think there is a lot of confusion with what I was trying to say. I wasn't claiming MBPs are "bad"...just refuting the claim that similarly spec'd laptops are about the same price. And I still believe that is a reasonable point.

Regarding the drives, I found some links quoting those figures [1]...although synthetic benchmarks in the wild seem to give different results (~2.0 GBs read and 1.3 GBps write)[2][3]. I wonder what a synthetic benchmark with those two laptops would be like side to side. It may very well be the benchmark tool in both videos is artificially limiting drive performance...which would also be reflected on the Blade who knows.

(As an aside, even at 2.0 GBps read and 1.3 GBps write that is still very fast)

I did not in any real sense. I did the tutorial and chose the sane defaults recommended (so called Evil Mode) which gives you some great controls and a nice tutorial you can walk through if you type :tutor at the main screen.

I admit I have never used Vim or Emacs but the tutorial was enough to do movement and I also read this wonderful documentation as well: First this here which gives a wonderful overview of the whole philosophy behind SpaceMacs:

http://spacemacs.org/doc/DOCUMENTATION

Then I took a look at this just to get some better idea of how to do certain things with the layers since it's very dependent on a layering system:

http://spacemacs.org/doc/LAYERS.html

And for good measure since Evil mode emulates Vim I thought it might be nice to see what this had to say:

http://spacemacs.org/doc/VIMUSERS.html

It took me like a week to be efficient but now I'm flying so much faster than I was with VS Code or Atom. I still use Sublimr Text for some things because I like it but this is a great editor and has a lot of potential and is extremely extensible with Emacs lisp and I believe they already have a way to bridge in Vim plugins too
