iPhones require the password(/code) when turned on and (IIRC) under certain other conditions.

But I believe this isn't enough considering recent developments. They write:

It’s important to note that deniability refers to the

It's now common for border agents in the US to demand login credentials for social media accounts, and search all electronic devises. I can't think of anything more invasive than someone going through my photos and messages. Yet many people are required to visit the US (or countries only reachable via the US). We need methods to separate data into two parts, one being highly private and completely hidden from someone given access to our devises.

And while I would welcome a technical solution, it's important not to discount the power of the law. Such invasions of privacy would be illegal in the EU, and contrary to the cynics, laws are generally respected in the developed world. The current news are making me hopeful that (parts of) the US population are also starting to be sympathetic to some rights of foreigners even when they're applying for the privilege of crossing the border.
Yea. Whoever runs for the dem nomination and wants to beat trump or pence (if he gets impeached) shouldn't even bother visiting blue states. Spend the entire campaign talking to voters in the rust belt.
I think it helps a lot. I read about the principle (share data by communicating) 10 years ago and structure most of my multi-threaded apps using BlockingQueues or similar.

Didn't have a problem since.
I just rewrote some part of my system to kubernetes job. Gist is here: https://gist.github.com/kozikow/86ee26998c5de1cf3780b6bc0cd3... .

- As mentioned previously, retry count limit to job/pod would be useful.

- Minor nit: Deleting old job with the pod is cumbersome with current python API. Either delete_namespaced_job with orphan_dependencies: False, but I would need to check if job exists beforehand (deleting if job does not exist fails). On the other hand delete_collection_namespaced_job lets me delete job by label selector, but I also need to manually clean up the pod.

- Another nit: When exporting stackdriver logs collected by GKE from a job to big query, each log ends up as a separate logsource.
In the Anglosphere the reason quite simply is the British Empire from which most countries inherited their respective legal systems. The English Common Law is about a thousand years old. It saw and weathered countless kings and queens, revolutions and - most importantly - linguistic upheaval of the English language, all of which contributed to its complexity and quirkiness.

An interesting example of the linguistic changes that affected legal English are legal doublets ("null and void" for instance): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_doublet Those originally were intended precisely to avoid confusion and ambiguity. Legal doublets were an attempt to accommodate both Anglo-Saxon and French (and sometimes Latin) language roots in order to allow speakers of either to understand legal terms.

To modern English speakers these terms are more of a cause for confusion rather than clarity. In addition, terms like 'null and void' nowadays add nothing to the precision of legal language but they keep being used because they're proven to work. They're a sort of legal cargo cult if you will.

'void' has exactly the same meaning as 'null and void' but we keep seeing the latter because lawyers cannot risk being linguistically progressive. They might lose a case if they don't use the terms everybody else in the legal business is used to. Hence, legal English only changes gradually and slowly.
Nah man I think he is not. He cannot flip the U.S into a farce like that. The amount of absurdly ridiculous news all over is devaluing the whole nation at light speed. I don't think he will last. I hope not.

Right, I think the point I was -- poorly -- trying to make is that your average user doesn't care about federation (or openness). It comes down to which service has the best marketing and can capture the most market share.

I think placing blame solely on electoral college system is detracting from the real problem, which is that there is a polarized division. Electoral college can be a fair system most of the time, and I hold benefit of the doubt that there was no systematic gerrymandering going on specifically for this election.
FISA Content requests: July to December 2015 21000–21499.
Note - FISA requests includes all personal information, NSL does not.
And sure - this particular order is about foreigners' data, but they might require citizens' data in future.
Also is data privacy only a US citizen's right? Googlers claimed to have strong views when non-citizen googlers were being treated unfairly on immigration. But no statement when non-citizens' privacy is being snatched away.
This is me as well. There is so much to do, see and make. Both workwise and a million odd projects outside of work.

A serious complication to the variable length of sleep is that when you get a bad back after sitting for 20 years, you can't catch up on sleep anymore as the back hurts after X hours in bed anyway.
I went to a sleep specialist for delayed sleep disorder. He told me to take 1mg of melatonin about 6 hours before bed, and to wear sunglasses at night when around lights.
I do not believe that one can achieve supernatural powers with meditation either (for I have not seen someone with those).

Assuming they have such superpowers, they also need the desire to run the world. Hence, this way of concluding that they do not possess such powers does not seem right.

On the subject of annoyances with this page, I hate that everything is spaced out so much. So little information spread over a huge scrolling area. I thought this fad was dying out, but apparently not. So unnecessary and looks awful on a large monitor.

> This is all a consequence of bad messaging on Uber's part here; they're not in the wrong.

For me it wasn't the bad messaging around the JFK thing, it was that this incident brought focus to the fact that Uber had earlier expressed sympathy for Trump. This is more than enough for me to switch my business to a competitor.

I believe this might have been the case for others too. They had simply been closet Trump supporters in my view, but suddenly they were called out as such.
How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie

I've always thought the title is a bit off putting, and to some the points are common sense.

But I find myself referring back to it for advice on how to handle a particular situation with a friend, colleague or client.

That's why I nicknamed it 'The Good Book'. :)
Actually what's happening is a bit different.

The one who observes the thinking arises in relation to what is thought ("the one who is thinking"--in your words).

This means that as the thought changes from one to the next, the one who observes the thinking also changes.

The thought and it's observation arise together, and pass away together. This is followed by the arising of another (different) thought and corresponding observation of that thought.

Prior to perceiving this inconstancy of observation/consciousness whatever consciousness that arises is identified as I, mine, that I'm within it, or that it's within me.

When perceiving inconstancy of consciousness, whatever change of consciousness that arises is understood as just another change and is not identified with as me/mine/etc.
Your link #1 is about the volume of a ball, not the surface area of a sphere.

There are hundreds of different ways of segmenting a sphere. Your link #2 a relatively obscure one which is potentially worth evaluating for some uses (e.g. you start with a fine latitude/longitude grid but want to group your data into coarser histogram bins, and you them to have equal area), but is pretty far removed from the mostly hexagonal tilings in the OP.

For a summary of some other methods, I recommend Popko’s book Divided Spheres, http://www.dividedspheres.com

> VHS: 1976

"were so" != "nonexistent". Compare the home movie experience of 1994 to that of 201x. 'On-demand' wasn't even a pipe dream in 1994.

> I think seeing a movie in a theater is more social than technical

Maybe for teens who gather in cliques, but otherwise we're just going to disagree there.

> He's talking about Star Wars and Lord of the Rings,

The Star Wars middle trilogy was schlock. They were terrible stories. They sold on hype, colour and motion, and brand recognition. The first one even had a damn half-hour advert for a podracing videogame in the middle of it. And Lord of the Rings was an adaptation of the most successful fantasy novel ever (the genre-defining one at that); not exactly a typical datum. How many times can you do that?

Don't get me wrong, I'm of the opinion that hollywood should spend a million less on special effects and a million more on screenplay, but the whole "people prefer good stories" just doesn't pan out when it comes time to open their wallets. For example, Lord of the Rings had been done a couple of times before in movie and TV form, and it wasn't that popular in that form... until it had mindbogglingly massive special effects and money thrown at it.

Anyway, if you think that the Star Wars prequels were good stories and that pulled the punters, I strongly recommend you watch Plinkett's reviews of them[1] - the voice is annoying, the reviews are mostly funny, but really he eviscerates the exceptionally poor storytelling in them. In there there's even an excerpt from an editor's session where Lucas and Co. are talking about a problem with the ending, where they have the viewer rotating through four very different emotions from four different plotlines in only 90 seconds, none of which can be excised as they're all concluding at the same time... and the mood is very much "we've fucked this up".

It's things like these that push me so hard in the direction of decentralized cloud applications. Centralized institutions should not be able to see your data, and foreign powers should not be able to command them to drop your data (or otherwise hold it hostage).
A serious question: do people who leave comments like yours, and the even shorter ones that are literally just the words "virtue signalling", really believe that doing so presents a devastating critique which will convince others of the error of their ways and change their minds? Or is it something you do to demonstrate your affiliation with a particular set of beliefs and positions? Does this phrase have empirical content to you, in that there are theoretically people/positions you could disagree with which you would not use it to describe? Or is it something you will say to/about anyone who you dislike or disagree with, as a way to show that you and they are members of different tribes with different values?
Have you tried sungolds? They are a little smaller than cherry tomatoes, yellow-orange and even better, IMO. They are sweet but still retain a ton of tomato flavor. They also grow like crazy. If you give them something to climb on, plenty of sun and water the plants get huge. Here in CA I had them fruiting this year from May all the way into December. Finally the frost got them.

Why is this problem so hard when CSS does so much for node positioning? Why not create a simpler standard once and for all?
Why is it conceited to say that the a culture of relentless information pursuit has been an objectively good thing for humanity?

I guess I'm not sure what "obsessive pursuit of information" means in this case. Is it continuing to seek better explanations even when current ones serve a purpose adequately (ie, the principle of fallibility)? Is it that once new explanations are available people we seek to apply those explanations to other domains and create further information?

I'd argue that both of those examples are positive practices that have resulted in better quality information and expanded valuable applications of that information.

I cannot see the progress that humans have made since the scientific revolution and write those improvements off as non-objectively positive things. Earth is not naturally hospitable to our form of life, and our ancestors suffered through extremely short, brutal, and unpleasant lives due to that. It is only through the pursuit of information (obsessive pursuit even, in the sense that we needed a large amount of information that is both reliable and expandable to apply meaningfully) that most humans live lives where we don't die from things like starvation, exposure to the elements, treatable diseases and so forth. New problems have certainly been introduced by the application of gained knowledge, but those problems will never be solved by not pursuing more (and better) answers.

Less information is never better than more information, and societies which advocate most liberally for the pursuit of information have reliably produced better conditions for their people than those which do not.
> it would be just some weird variant of proprietary software where you're expected to send patches instead of license fees.

Why is this weird? As the author of the software, surely I get to decide how I prefer to be compensated?

If I'd like patches and user freedom, then your only decision is whether the software is worth that for you. Not whether my license is "weird" or "not open source".

Yes, but the process is different, as it optimizes the quality at the time of picking, rather than after several days spent in a container.
It might be the case that docker was just some enabling technology to go back to static binaries even with dynamic languages that IMHO expect a more complicated runtime setup.

So if one goes with statically compiled web services written in e.g. Go, Rust, Haskell or any other language supporting static binaries (most languages support this actually, but not all of them encourage you to do it), the only thing missing is a deployment framework that distributes your binaries to your (potentially virtual) machines. So am I correct that this is the point where Kubernetes comes in?

So how to use Docker in production is a controversial topic and the consensus seems to change rapidly, but in my opinion is mostly used as a weapon against dependency hell, but this problem is mostly solved using static binaries. Other use it for sandboxing, but I am not sure what security guarantees one can expect here.

If one compares static binaries with Docker containers how do they compare from a security point of view if one is hyperparanoid that the code executed may harm the host?
Makes me think of that Japanese ramen shop that used similar arms from several years back. I wonder if they are still in business?

Running the world is quite troublesome, and usually, motivated by qualities like greediness, jealousy, &c. Those qualities are very first ones to avoid as you start getting into mindfulness state. Hence even with superpowers (especially with those) yogis should more likely stay away from running the world, just by nature of the things.

Sure - might not be easy for email. It does work for imessages (no server storage, typical size 1-5GB, stored + indexed on client side). So once phones start having 50GB+ storage(wait my iphone already does :p), its not so far fetched to think of having a 20GB inbox stored+indexed on the phone - of course you don't need to store the attachments etc.

Anyways, my point was not to suggest a full solution but to say that companies are not incentivized to solve this problem.
We seem to have largely moved passed the concept of nuance, knee jerk reactions and virtual signalling in place of reasoned responses.

Its dangerous when all sides don't consider the others viewpoints at all.
Nitpicks over specific laws do not justify invocation of the oath of office. Despite what this thread is trying to pretend, it is not conventional for the AG to play SCOTUS and pre-emptively declare the administration's position indefensible.

Ms. Yates has not offered any legal rationale for her position. She is failing to uphold the Constitution by undermining the operation of the executive branch and the authority of the chief executive without a compelling constitutional cause.

In principle, you're correct that AGs should decline to participate in the implementation of clearly unconstitutional instructions. However, no such plain and obvious unconstitutionality exists in this case. There's nothing even close. All actual legal complaints raised to this point involve potential collisions with obscure, decades-old laws. It's the judiciary's role to handle that type of conflict.
The real pro trick is to not put a lid on the pan. Instead use an inverted metal colander. You will get some small amount of oil on your stove top but it's worth it. This method allows the water vapor to escape which yields much lighter airier popcorn but unlike an air popper you still get all the flavor from the oil. Toasted sesame oil or coconut oil are really good.

Especially if you are multilingual, you notice how many of your ideas about the world are shaped (or at least influenced) by the language you use, which might be helpfull to some, and limiting to others. I think this is what Wittgenstein wanted to express in his famous quote: "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world"

Yes, you can enable the multilib repository for pacman; 32-bit libraries go in /usr/lib32/ and 64-bit in /usr/lib/.

I know a lot of people that are happy with their Model S. I also know a lot of people that have spend way too much time dealing with issues, having many days without a car, and some even drove 200 miles multiple times to a service center.

I just cannot justify that kind of service and reliability for a car that expensive. I'd rather buy a BMW or Mercedes, because they actually handle this far more maturely.

But what scares me most about this story, is that they do not have their software done right. Even if their system is devided into a critical part, and a non critical part (the infotainment system, ect.), if it throws a code like in this story, it better log every possible thing it knows and what lead to this error. And I would actually expect it submitted it directly to Tesla to look at and analyze.

What's so "unreal" about firing an Obama appointee for blatant insubordination? Obama fired all of Dubya's people too, a Bush fired all of Clinton's people likewise. She was just keeping the chair warm for Sessions anyway.
