This is not a case of "too much ..." can kill you.

This is the tech industry taking shortcuts (not singling out apple here) in order to "push the industry" forward - There are a multitude of ways in which this risk could be eliminated, but without tight(er) regulation, it wont happen.

Even though the risk is slim, the severity is high. And due to to the "consumer" target market, these risks should be engineered away. We should not wait until some kid looses their sight. Even one. Simple as that.
I think you're going about this a bit too simple and too confrontational.

Your original comment started out with a generalizing remark which I felt to be uncivil and I called out out on it.

I didn't actually completely disagree with the rest of your comment. Do you understand this ? You raised a perfectly valid point.

My only disagreement with you is that you decided it is good etiquette to insult a whole group of people by implying they have the real-world capacity of children.

I will repeat it again for you:

* I disagree with what I thought was an insulting remark.

* I thought the points you made afterwards were valid and intriguing

Please do not try to misunderstand me on purpose again.

Agreed. In 2005, I worked for a company where there was an incident that led to the 2005 PowerBook G4/iBook G4 battery recall [0].

I worked on the IT helpdesk at the time, and though I wasn't working the late shift that night, we all found out about it the next morning. A woman called the helpdesk because her PowerBook had caught fire. (Side note: the department was very insistent on not having water/liquids near equipment, so she actually apologized for pouring water on her flaming laptop.) Thankfully she put it out immediately. Her desk was scorched and the laptop was burned beyond repair (but we did manage to get a DriveSavers-like company to recover most of the data on the HDD). The IT director called our Apple rep the next day and they immediately began a process of investigation. They paid to have the desk replaced, replaced the laptop and paid for the third-party data recovery.

Granted this was 12 years ago and I wasn't involved in direct conversations with Apple myself as a lowly level 1 helpdesk technician, but from everything I saw they handled the situation completely professionally and seriously.

The model number A1078 is forever etched into my mind.

> When a fiction writer comes up with a plot, or even a turn of phrase that blows my mind, that's one of the best things about reading. Like "how did he think up all this?!"

Typically the answer is: hard work and iteration, and many times not by himself. I think you're partially falling for the fallacy of the singular author completing a perfect work with unflinching vision. IMO this is incredibly rare.

Take, for example, Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird. It's an amazing book. It's a novel that might at once feel effortless and also an unaltered vision of the author. But it's actually the result of years of editing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Lee):

> Ms. Hohoff was impressed. "[T]he spark of the true writer flashed in every line", she would later recount in a corporate history of Lippincott.[16] But as Ms. Hohoff saw it, the manuscript was by no means fit for publication. It was, as she described it, "more a series of anecdotes than a fully conceived novel".[16] During the next couple of years, she led Lee from one draft to the next until the book finally achieved its finished form and was retitled To Kill a Mockingbird.

Everything from the narrative structure to the title to characterization is refined, over and over again.

The goal with feedback and subsequent editing isn't the dilution of an author's vision, it's the opposite. It concentrates and clarifies the vision with each successive pass.

Yes, they make their values clear. And those values are clearly contradictory.

"Free societies protect private property. They allow their citizens to participate in the political process, to make basic economic choices, to exercise virtue and charity and to freely exercise their religious faith."

"Evil is not just in our imaginations. We can’t eradicate it with the right amount of social engineering or positive thinking."

"The state does not determine what marriage and family are, but it must recognize them. We should oppose political attempts to redefine marriage, which are wars against the creation itself."

If they think official recognition of only "traditional" marriage is more important than the other stuff, then fine, but they should stop pretending that they're all about freedom.

So the point was to teach the commenter a lesson by responding unhelpfully?

So, because I was pointing out someone not responding constructively I am by necessity "defending" all points the other person makes? I think that is faulty reasoning.

Can you add the names of the languages below the flags (probably both in English, and in that language as well)? It's not super easy to scan for the language I'm interested in based on flags alone, assuming I even know what the flag looks like.
This is a valid point. If booting just hangs after the bootloader but before the Mender daemon comes up is actually quite tricky to manage.

We have looked into hardware watchdog for this, but it is in the gray-zone of what an updater should be involved in. This is actually a more generic problem - maybe it hangs even when you did not deploy an update. There is varying support for hardware watchdogs across boards as well, unfortunately.

Most of the time it will not just hang, maybe it will crash or kernel panic and in those cases Mender will rollback. But the indefinite-hanging case is quite tricky and not yet handled.

Would be open to ideas here.
Not your parent commenter, but I was on a bus once from Toronto to NYC. One of my fellow passengers had a coconut confiscated at the border. We all felt sorry for him, but when he got back on the bus, he pulled out a second coconut from his coat. :)

More interesting, my neighbor on that bus ride did not possess a passport nor even a photo ID! He was Amish and had no problems crossing the border. His papers (which I examined) included a handwritten description of his appearance.

How Being Funny Changes the Brain
Universal constants changing slowly over the lifetime of the universe is one of the things I remember quite well from undergrad physics. Not as anything that has been proven, but as a meachanism to try and fix some of the astrophysics measurements.

Of course, the radius of the universe has clearly changed with time- this could mean that a0 did or that c did.
There are plenty of people who don't really swear though. If Weir was cool with the changes, he must've felt like the profanity wasn't crucial to the story.

In my experience, resting a Macbook on something that's soft (like a blanket) so that the underside is blocked has rather catastrophic effects on its ventilation.

That said, it should not be possible to cause a runaway failure in the battery via the laptop overheating.
I can imagine a situation like:

- Store has both a back-room toilet for staff only & show-room toilet for customers and initially allows the staff to use either. THe Show-room toilet is nicer than back-room toilet.

- Store worries customers are put-off by staff in customer toilets. Perhaps some customers even complain. Perhaps some of those complaints are even specifically about visible minorities.

- Store responds by asking visible minority staff not to use show-room toilet.

I don't know whether that is what happened here, but it is a plausible pattern. Of course this is still inexcusable, classic discrimination.
Sure thing, shoot me an email at mgontav@unplu.gg and we'll see how we can help you out.
I don't know the real reason why they did this, but the first thing which came up to my mind was that in some cultures they use water to wash than to wipe, and that results in some unsanitary conditions from the perspective of paper users. There are technological solutions for that (like a bidet installation), but chances are some one low in the command chain made that decision.

Also decision was probably 'If you wanna use water, use that bathroom', and it resulted in this effect that Hispanics used one restroom and whites/others the other.

> if the car's local sensors deviate from the gps data significantly, that should throw up a red flag to the car and driver.

This happens too often for benign reasons (and GPS hacking too rare) for it to be useful. The GPS system in my Ford Focus jumps around wildly if I start the car in an enclosed space before it gets a good lock, and it can be thrown-off under bridges and around tall buildings as it doesn't have A-GPS (does any car have A-GPS?). The worst is when a poor signal is combined with road-snapping - I've had a lot of trouble with off-ramps on partially submerged urban highways, the I-5 in downtown Seattle, for example.
Very nice idea.

On the main page, consider listing the languages, rather than using flags. Languages and countries don't always correspond one-to-one; many of the flags you have link to the same language, and conversely there are multiple languages spoken in some countries. A language list would be both more compact and more directly convey what people want to look for, rather than making people indirect through "I want to learn more of language X, which of the several countries speaking that language should I select, and does it make a difference?".

(That said, if you later expand to cover regional differences in accent, distinguishing between countries seems useful for that.)

This looks like it will be quite useful for anyone practicing languages that have their own word for 10,000 (Chinese, Japanese, etc), thanks!

In Chinese, the number "100,000" is not read as "100 thousand", rather it is "10 ten-thousands". This makes translating numbers in the range of 100,000-10,000,000 a bit awkward if you are not used to it.

Thanks for the reasoned debate. I'm not a big fan of downvoting in political discussions.

I am basing my list on attitudes expressed by people in:

1) The Guardian

2) The Labour party

3) Friends who I know strongly identify as left wing

I think you'll agree Labour, the Guardian and people who explicitly identify as left wing are all describable as left wing.

Most people won't explicitly state outright that they distrust democracy. But all I have to do is examine the number of MPs that voted against the Article 50 bill (to begin implementation of the referendum) in each party to see a clear difference between the right and left wing parties. It was after all the Tories that gave the UK a referendum on the EU, and Labour that said they would and then went back on their promise.

All I have to do is compare randomly chosen articles in the Guardian and (say) the Telegraph to see the clear difference in attitudes.

And when I look at what my friends are sharing on Facebook, there's a clear correlation between those who were most appalled by Brexit and the ones who are constantly sharing anti-Tory screeds.

So, I do feel that my experiences are pretty consistent in this regard, and I know from articles and comments I read elsewhere that I'm not alone in this.
I find it interesting that you can write RMS, the leader of the Free Software movement, and he'll respond to you within the day for no charge because he think's that's a morally important thing to do. You can in contrast write Marc Andreessen, one of the figure heads of the propriatary software and privacy violating movement of every bigger information companies, and he'll charge you for the pleasure.

Interesting dichotomy, at least to me.

Old news from 2016.
As a scientific programmer interested in functional-flavoured (ie undogmatic) languages, I would do Rust immediately if it had a REPL. Dying to dump Python. This post is very convincing on Rust's design decisions:

http://science.raphael.poss.name/rust-for-functional-program...

This post was a total revelation to me, even if I assume it's well known in the community, because it is very credible on the Sophie's Choice issue of mathematical purity versus acknowledgement of the reality of the instruction pointer-based imperative machine that exists underneath.

I've looked at other languages that "do" multiprocessing recently. Go is great, but it's essentially about getting large teams of variable-skill people to work together well. It's not an inspiring language, whereas Rust clearly is. Erlang (via Elixir) is very interesting, but the actor model will never be as performant in reality as the shared memory architecture. Julia is just a modern interpretation of matlab. A number of the JVM languages are great, but the "culture" of that ecosystem will always be corporate.

This is why I believe the science crowd could really gravitate to Rust, because it may have the ability, like the functional crowd, to satisfy the "search for beauty" aspect which motivates many academics, scientists, and indeed, programmers, all the while staying just the right side of pragmatism. And clearly targeting "where the puck is going" on massively multicore hardware.

The trial-and-error nature of scientific/data science discovery inevitably requires a REPL. If I had the right compiler/interpreter skills I would gladly contribute to making a Rust REPL happen. Unfortunately I don't. As it stands, all I can say is that if the REPL happens, I would be axed to contribute on the Rust scientific ecosystem with great motivation and pleasure.
