Snaps need a security backend like AppArmor in order to run in confinement. Without it, they can still be run unconfined. And while AppArmor+seccomp is the only working security backend, snapd is designed to support alternate backends, so one could be made for SELinux, we just need someone with SELinux experience to write it (our in-house expertise is in AppArmor)
Net core wouldn't help as kestrel does not support http2 yet. We just put an nginx proxy in front of our cluster now, which may or may not solve your issues.
Since I made this comment, I also had the chance to listen to his lecture in full. I couldn't agree more with him. What I wrote here was based on my understanding of what he meant by "doing mathematics", which as other commenters also pointed out earlier did not have anything to do with a career in math. I stand corrected.
I rather suspect the NYT readers will figure out that "scientists say" is a simplification.

Climate science is a different kettle of fish where the media on both sides tend to bias things to one extreme or the other - we're all going to die or it's a hoax, where what the actual scientist say gets drowned out rather, which is a shame.
> Previous posters describe CS majors working for Starbucks/McDonalds - if entry is easy, how could this be?

They most certainly do not...please read the actual post. The post says their college graduate friends...not graduates in CS. Anecdotally, I haven't seen any American with a CS degree be out of job for a very long time unless they were doing something really wrong (i.e. not applying/following up with interviews).

> Would you be as happy to conclude that teaching isn't something everyone can do?

Hah, good point. I am willing to concede I might be a terrible teacher. But if we go along this path, where do you stop? You are trying to find fault in the system, in the teachers etc...essentially looking for a reason other than the most obvious conclusion: not everyone can or wants to be a programmer. Like I said, I do agree with this reasoning though: perhaps if we change the system to have better teachers, a better education system that makes CS more appealing, perhaps there would be more CS graduates.

> If there is some general failing with the entire educational system, "immigration" won't fix that; but this is a tractable/solvable (if difficult) problem if foreign countries are able to produce good students.

Immigration is not meant to fix your education system. They are not mutually exclusive: you can do both. The real reason foreign countries are able to produce good students is an interesting one; personally I get the impression that one of the major reasons is their sheer size ~3 billion people in Indian and China alone. However, one of my friends has correctly pointed out that the 3rd largest foreign student community in US universities after Indian and Chinese is: Korean.

I wouldn't be so sure that Boltzmann machines were designed without how the brain operated in mind. Terry Seknowski, one of the inventors, is a computational neuroscientist.

In general, I think the influence of neuroscience on neural network research has been subtle and perhaps underrated. For example, modern day convolutional neural networks Havea lineage going back to Fukushima's neocognitron, which was heavily inspired by Hubel an Wiesel's simple/complex cell model of visual cortex based on single cell electrophysiology.

I'm not entirely sure which anecdotes, unless you explain your personal experience.

> You seem to agree that the demand outstrips supply

yep

> and so far Americans have not taken up CS in large enough numbers to satisfy that demand

Maybe. CS grads aren't the only source of software developers; but in any case, there is nothing wrong with demand being higher than supply, it's perfectly fine that demand be unsatisfied in the same way it's fine that supply be unsatisfied.
My only gripe is:

> Since a new instance of Python VM is running the code, there is no GIL and you get parallelism running on multiple cores.

Has the potential to be misinterpreted by new Python devs. As I understand it, each process gets its own interpreter with its own GIL. So its not that there is no GIL, just that there are now 3 GILs each managing separate execution spaces.

Also, at a higher level of discussion, this is just a rehash of multi-processing vs. multi-threading so perhaps it would be more illuminating to start from there and move down to the library examples.

The casual reference to multi-threading in the quote from the POSIX fork definition also adds to potential reader confusion.
It could also be an intentional leak to gauge reaction.
I think you are right. In fact, I would go further and say that we don't take enough minerals overall because the food we eat has been processed too much, so we are probably deficient in a lot of other minerals. I guess what I wanted to say is that you will find more people with high dangerous copper levels than low, especially among women because of the copper they add in birth control products.
To be honest VS is horrible compared to NetBeans... Maybe it's on par if you pay extra for resharper, but I find that ridiculous.

I agree the alternative isn't hard. I'm saying even very large companies just can't seem to do a great job of it. Which is why they run to AWS/etc in droves.

I've seen innards of very large DCs for more than a decade. At one of my first jobs at a fortune 500, I was responsible for everything from rack and stack to the command prompt. The expected turnaround time for a single physical server was 4-6 weeks until the application could be installed on it! One of the reasons was that they did not have automated DHCP/PXE provisioning. I started the process to enable it.. going through all the political, security mess, it was 9 months until it was enabled. I was gone by then.

An extreme example for sure, but if AWS revenues are growing like they are, then surely such issues are everywhere to some extent.
> I saw great indie companies getting blackballed because of anything less than purist views on subjects like gamergate.

I think that's ok. We used to have a notion that a product is just a product, and we should all just pretend the people making it are apolitical and enjoy the product on its own merits.

But that leads to a world where resources pool up in random places. This guy has a billion dollars because he makes a beverage a lot of people like? Why? Are beverage skills the barometer for deciding how resources are allocated?

I should note that this system works OK when there is an additional pool of public resources that people can rely on. If private revenue is "spending cash" but the state still controls its natural resources, and cities have a commons, and extended families take care of each other, things are kind of OK.

But that's over now, we are privatizing 100% of resources, so now revenue really has to be a perfect proxy for how we think resources should be allocated, from a social/moral perspective.

So now we are moving to a world where that guy needs to not only make a nice beverage but he needs to show that he shares our values, because we're not just buying a soda, we are deciding who will starve, which ecosystems will be destroyed, and what kinds of people will be unemployed.

If someone needs an indie game maker to disavow feminist commentators in order to feel comfortable buying a game... well, I disagree with the moral stance, but I support very much that person's right to spend their money and influence that way. We have no other choice in a capitalist system.
We do not aim to replace relationship between manager and employee. In fact our goal is to help strengthen the relationship. Believe it or not many managers do not have the proper training when becoming a manager to implement meaningful 1:1 meetings to solicit feedback and gauge how their people are feeling. We aim to better track and improve this relationship with gathered metrics so that managers never miss a beat. We also acknowledge that many people are not comfortable giving feedback in a one on one or publicly so our goal is to provide a channel for them to do so comfortably and productively. We have seen teams address feedback that has come through Ava and even implement and improve parts of their culture that management had no idea was an issue for its employees.

With that said, Ava is meant to strengthen relationships on the team and help the team collaborate when it comes to company culture. She even provides metrics on how relationships are within the company.

I agree, the story of git is a good group dynamics case-study. I watched a small bit of it from mailing lists at times.

I was a heavy darcs user at the time and the impression I got was part of the name git in the first place was that it was intentionally the "dumb, dirty, get things done" answer to darcs' (sometimes problematic) smarts. (Remember, the British slang definition of git is "an unpleasant or contemptible person".)

It's also interesting that both Mercurial and git were spun out of the BitKeeper fiasco (BitKeeper was a commercial product that allowed free hosting for Open Source projects, up until the fiasco where they decided they were bored hosting Open Source) by Linux kernel members. Mercurial actually wound up with lead and if I recall correctly was much more usable faster than git was. The problems with Mercurial were that it was written in Python and git was lead by Linus himself and in the apparently more preferable to kernel hackers C, perl, bash, awk, sed, spit, and duct tape development environment.
AWS revenue last quarter was $3.56B (publicly stated). Total revenue, $43.7B.

The flip side is a lot of people think "oh the GIL, I can't even run Python code in a server with more than 1 CPU"

No you can, just run lots of processes and make lots of GILS. Ends up still using less memory than Java in many cases. Gil will be the least of your worries.

I think you're underestimating the value of Walmart. Sure for things you can wait to get in 2 day shipping, it's a no brainer compared to driving to Barnes & Noble, or BestBuy. But a large part of the US still shops at brick and mortar stores because they want/need things "right now." Walmart is still a juggernaut, especially in smaller cities, rural areas.

And drone delivery... I don't see that being successful for Amazon for another 10 years. Too many technical, legal, and cultural hurdles for that to happen faster, if ever.

Bannon is full of rage towards SV and the tech scene. Largely based on his belief that they're undermining white America:

http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/2/14472404/ste...

Trump himself has told foreign born, but now legal citizens, to "get out of his country." He's imploding our relations with long-time allies.

It's not hard for me to see Trump not caring that 100k+ jobs are being created if it means they're not going to get him any prestige for making them. He'll undermine Amazon or Google if there's a shot at doing something else over here to create jobs, so long as it makes him look good.
FWIW, a plain ellipsis should replace any number of words redacted for brevity. E.g., "The US government is violating the due process, equal protection, and habeas corpus rights of immigrants," becomes "The US government is violating the... rights of immigrants."

If replacing a word with another word to convey missing contextual meaning- e.g., "I won't do business with [Mr. Trump] in the future," that's when you pull out the brackets.

Is it actually a misconception that private browsing prevents search engines from knowing my searches?

I do search for some nasty stuff in private mode and it never pops up in ads for my main account.

I do understand there might be conspiracy in Google to gather that data and link it to my account but never use it in the way I notice, but that looks like conspiracy theory to me.
The hyperbole is not my style actually, but I use it when talking about JS because I've came to realize the in the JS community it's the only way to be heard.

Generally I see the JS async styles continuum as: (0) callbacks < (1) async module < (2) promises < (3) co < (4) real async/await when language supports it, and I advocate skipping the intermediate steps in this continuum, (1) and (3) because they can lead to either badly composable code or subtle bugs. Also, I stressed the "intellectual lazyness" label because I know lots of people learn async module and this, "ok, this is good enough, I'll stop learning new things about writing better async code in JS".

...and I'm ok with good ol' callbacks where it makes sense for performance reasons, like core part of web frameworks or game engines (even if there is no sensible speed reduction, there is a memory overhead from creating a zillion promises).
It's a new package manager that implements existing linux security mechanisms. It will use apparmor to confine the snap to the directories that it is allowed to read and write. By default, $HOME/snap/snap-name/

Then the snap can use interfaces to go out of its confinement and access things that the user has agreed to allow: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/wiki/Interfaces
It's honestly naive and lazy to view Snap as "just an app company". It uses the same flawed logic as "Facebook is just a website".

Snap is a media platform that comes with all of the overhead of running a global, culturally sensitive media business. There's user generated content at the center, but there are also a lot of partnerships, curation, etc going on too.
I went through a 3 week period of sleeping no more than an hour a night, if at all. Things like "this morning" became very muddled. If I thought about what I had for breakfast, there was no difference between breakfast today and yesterday and even a couple days before that -- they were recalled to mind equally.

Multiple days in a row felt like "today." It's hard to describe the feeling because I've never felt anything like it before or since. It just felt like the stack was overflowing for "today". One night of sleep and things were back to normal.

I spend a lot of my time around a computer. I work on one and spend most of my free time coding or discovering new things online. So a blog naturally fits into my lifestyle. I don't have to make big life changes to run one, and it's been years since I've had a journal so it will be nice. If I lose interest in it, that's fine.

But, I don't really understand why you assume that I don't participate in much live interaction. Why do you think I left Facebook?

I love hanging out with people and discussing a variety of topics. But I also like to write down my thoughts. I figure some people might like to see them from time to time.

I am currently working remotely from a very rural area so I don't get to see friends much, and I am about to move to a new state. So a blog / online journal will definitely help keep me from going bonkers without the level of social contact I desire.

You're right there. In this whitepaper we had different questions for each of the browsers to make sure this distinction was noted.

However, users still in general think that private browsing modes do things like prevent their IP address from being seen, or prevent a search engine from recording their searches. So there is still a gap in their expectations.

> And while there are more Americans in Tech, the demand far outstrips supply.

What is this supposed to mean? That there is no market clearing price where the supply curve and the demand curve intersect, such that at any wage level demand exceeds supply? Or just that the politically (because also economically) powerful buyers prefer lower prices than that market-clearing price, and so want government action to lower the price?
"Even in the absence of verbatim copying, a copyright owner may show infringement by showing that the infringer had access to the work and that the two works are substantially similar."

To answer your question, then, the reason is that this doctrine only kicks in when the accused infringer had access to the original code.
