You transfer them to some variant of a penal battalion. Simon Murray has a good description of this (from the French Foreign Legion) in [0]. During his stint in the Legion, the generic punishment was having to run around carrying heavy rocks in a backpack that has wire straps, coupled with sleep deprivation. It sounds unpleasant.

> I was not detained; my phone and computer were not confiscated. I was asked if I was Muslim and what I did and where I lived. When I said I was a writer, I was asked if I was going “to write about this process?” I answered, “Maybe I will.”

It seems like she was preparing for an ordeal, didn't get one, and still had an article to write.

I worry about border crossings too. We need articles to highlight the problems as they happen. This article didn't have any problems to highlight, so it concentrated on how the author felt in anticipation of the problems.

Ironically Western counties are very good at it.
Being asked about his religion was a non-feeling.

That this didn't stick out in the narrative, and might be considered normal to someone else, is exactly his point.
I don't support the so-called "Muslim ban" either, but it's worth acknowledging that anyone even calling it a "Muslim ban," including the POTUS, is just doing so to get a reaction out of people. And it worked. How about calling it a ban on countries we happen to be bombing right now? That headline isn't quite as salacious, but is more accurate than calling it a Muslim ban. We bombed I think 5 of the 7 countries in the ban within the last year.

The fact that people seem more upset about stopping some people at the border than they are about dropping cluster bombs on them in their home country is really puzzling to me.
The One Swedish Mine That Gave Us Seven Chemical Elements
I think the same applies to eating.

Since we can eat, we don't have to produce energy using sunlight like plants do.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Redesign the monetary system from the ground up with modern goals in mind, as opposed to the legacy goals stated in the 1913 Federal Reserve Act.

As it stands, 2 of the 3 explicitly stated goals of the Federal Reserve system are:

1. achieve maximum employment

2. maintain stable prices

Exponential growth of computing and automation makes #1 a sadomasochistic, obsolete, and counterproductive goal as putting everyone to work would mean us having "too many cooks in the kitchen".

Stable prices is also counterproductive and counterintuitive, as automation is making goods and services better, faster, and cheaper. Prices should tend toward zero in an increasingly automated labor market.

No, they're based on the likelihood of achieving massive growth in revenue. In consumer markets that often requires a winner-takes-all race. In the enterprise market, which is Docker's market, winner-take-all is not as central because enterprise buyers care more about interoperability and integrations of many products made by many vendors.

This is why, for example, Microsoft is seeing much more success with less tight coupling of Windows, Azure and Office.
You don't need massive air and naval power to be very tough to attack. All you have to do is see the Afghan wars, both Russian and American, for great examples. They had no airforce and no need for naval forces.

A large armed and mobile force is very able to put up solid resistance to pretty much anything you can throw at it save for nukes which will likely never be used.

Dear Ev Williams, We've Figured Out How You Can Save Medium
You don't. I served in the Greek air-force for 17 months as a conscript some twenty years ago which is also obligatory. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was wasting my time at the best years of my life, and the feeling was the same for pretty much most of the guys there. I learned a few things here and there but for the most part it was an utterly boring experience.

The one thing no one tells you about the army is that pretty much 90% of the work done is in management/logistics. A very small percentage is about war per se. There are tons of red tape in the army and there are procedures for everything. So you spend most of your time doing boring stuff that require little to no creative thinking and depending on where you come from, from a point on this becomes miserable. Fortunately by then you're discharged.

Most of the guys who served with me, once they got their bearings they spent the time doing the stuff they enjoyed. For me that was reading books. I read a shitload of books while serving, like one every couple of days. A guy I knew went for wind-surfing every afternoon since we served on an island and the sea was like half a mile from the base. From a point on it becomes like a routine job. You do the army stuff in the morning and in the afternoon spend time on your leisure.
Providing certification is typically a means of establishing trust in the marketplace and opens up new revenue. We saw this with OpenStack.
False dichotomy, it really is just a great beer as well.

To your credit when it first hit the scene it stood out a lot more than it does now (there are three craft breweries in my area that release cans of NE-style IPA every month).
How did you find my link? (I mean, what did you think of it, assuming you tried it).

By the way, I find Google's autogenerated CC is useless on any video no matter the type or audio quality. (For example a lecture.) Another reason to think the link uses something else is that it takes several seconds (during pauses) to come up with the result - it is slower than real-time. I don't know if Google takes the time to slowly process every video in case someone clicks the autogenerated CC... The quality definitely strikes me as different. (And one of the reasons I was so surprised that the above link is actually useable.)
Substantive criticism is always useful, though snarky tldrs generally lack the substance. What points in particular do you find egregious?
AMD will use the same die for its server CPUs, so ECC support is on chip anyway. I see no reason why they should turn it off in the Ryzen CPUs launched today.
I'll clarify mostly for my sake (I hadn't thought about this before)

f(x) = 1/x takes takes numbers in the range (-1, 1) to numbers outside that range, and vice versa. The representable floats are split evenly between those two sets
Yes, I understand. I would just like the messaging to stress that the engine or containerd or low-level component x is the same between CE and EE and will continue to be.
Sure. In this particular thread I'm just answering two generalised statements ("Public transport is intrinsically worse", "Why can't you work in a car?") rather than making a universal case.

I'd be genuinely interested to know stats for car and train motion sickness, though: I haven't found any on a quick Google. Motion sickness in general appears to be ~30% of the population. Obviously it's not a simple scale: my wife, for example, will get car-sick (without reading) on a fast, bendy journey more easily than I will; neither of us get train-sick; I get sea-sick much worse than she does.
I am quite surprised by the number of people here (and even larger numbers elsewhere this is being discussed) who don't seem to have any ethical problem with conscription. Thought the idea of killer slaves was completely off limits in the West. Now all of a sudden we are debating cost effectiveness. Guess I thought wrong.
Why Web Maintenance Is as Important as Regular Maintenance of Your Car
If you take into account the cost of living (and taxes), some other countries might look more interesting.
But you ignore that the i7-7700K is faster in that benchmark. And that one is cheaper. So is the i5.

If you do more than games, the Ryzen seems like a a good choice. It has serious power in applications, and is still fast in Games - which is a big step up compared to the FX. But no, it is not the goto choice for a gaming PC.
What are the advantages of doing deep learning with something like Elixir/OTP over another language and framework?
I was a conscript in the Danish army. Roughly speaking, they examined all 18 year olds, sorted out those with low IQ and those with physical injuries and asked the rest if we wanted to join voluntarily. They never got enough volunteers so they drafted around 1/3 of the rest of us using what was basically a tombola drum. Then we did 6-12 months. I did 9.

I think most of us thought we had been unlucky to draw a low number in the tombola meaning that we had to serve. But we also felt some kind of pride in what we did and you got to meet kids your own age from all walks of life. Most of us had fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers who had been in the military as well.

We were literally craving physical activity, weapons training, exercises, difficult tasks etc. since a lot of the time we were just a bunch of teenagers waiting around.

The Danish military mainly recruited professionals among the conscripts. I think such system works very well.
Could someone do an in-depth comparison of VSC and Atom for PHP development projects? I'd love to switch but am afraid that VSC is missing something, like the precious PHP-integrator stuff. Does it have reasonable support for Xdebug?
I know several people in the US that have done this already. They don't really see a reason to participate in the system into which they were thrust more than absolutely necessary. Drugs and video games are how they fill their time.

I believe the next step is expanding our footprint out of earth and colonizing other planets. That will provide people who aren't the beneficiaries of the current economy a new start. There will be fringe planets that are 'uninteresting' but still viable for human life.

I don't believe that a basic income would be the right way forward. It might be a good stop gap measure while we try and figure out super-fast travel and terraforming - but it will marginalize a huge portion of the society.

Historically no society has been kind to 'freeloaders' and I don't expect that to change anytime. (Please note the quotes - it is not my opinion, it is just what the opposition thinks). We don't need UBI, we need universal opportunity for jobs for everyone so that they can feel a measure of dignity and go about their life instead of looking at a life of netflix and chill.

The other choice I can think of happening is androidization of people. Once you are able to upload your consciousness into a network, there won't be any shortage of space. I think this is even further out though sadly :(.
The gap is in fact huge. Try developing on Docker for Mac/Windows and deploying to production with Docker for AWS/Azure. Then try to build the same level of functionality yourself from naked kubernetes and only open-source tools. Let me know when you're done :)

Beer hype. I've no doubt someone's gone off the deep end to get their hands on some; people do a lot of stupid things on behalf of the cliques they aspire to. There just seems to be a lot of this when it involves crafty beer stuff.
It's neither illegal nor unconstitutional. And I'm not certain it's offensive.

If CBP asked you if there were any movies or cosplay groups on which you have based your value system, that wouldn't be overly offensive.

Here they're asking whether it's a particular book and cosplay group.
That resolved it. Thanks!

Uber enacted their tipping policy to keep total control over prices and moreover to keep prices low.

When they were sued by their own workers because of this and had their backs against the wall, they had to claim it was because of this racist hand-wavy BS.

It was a ret-con and an incredibly cynical and insulting thing to do, but that's now the official reason they didn't allow tips.
It's not a better Java, it's a worse Java.

I like the late-time binding in Spring, it is a very complete answer to the problem of "shipping a set of binary components" and "configuring those components endlessly". Why is that a problem? Because your build is slow and because it's dangerous to patch the source code every time you want to tweak the configuration, ...

Trouble is: a lot of folks "learn" Spring working on a project somebody else started by cutting and pasting and searching for answers on Google and Stackoverflow.

You can learn some things that way, you cannot learn Spring that way. If you read the manual a few times straight through you realize that it makes a lot of sense.
Google Public DNS SERVFAIL
I understand why you included LoL on that list, unlockables, but as a lifelong counter strike and moba player it doesn't belong. The unlocks are not giving you an advantage over skill at all.

You can't play every champion you want but the win rates show that every champion is viable and there is no 'right' mastery setup for any champion evidenced by the wide variety you see in pro build guides.

The unlockables simply give you more options, NOT any kind of unfair advantage. Look at how many pros regurslry run new account to diamond marathons with the one rune page and 10 champions they unlocked leveling their account to 30.
Yes, Don't Congest. But you can spend your life marking various kinds of traffic (many apps already do mark it, as someone down-thread mentioned), and pray that your router (and remote equipment) handles the markings properly.

Or just use SQM with Cake qdisc. It actually looks at the "sojourn time" for packets in various streams/flows of data and offers backpressure for sessions that are generating queues of data: all the other flows "go right through" without a lot of other settings.
> Kubernetes is a component (like containerd or swarmkit), while Docker is a platform

That's a really interesting angle to take on it. I think most users of Kubernetes would view it as the opposite; that K8s is the platform and Docker is just one component of that platform. It probably depends on which camp you've really bought into.
A minor point, but Baltic tensions, not Balkan tensions.

I've seen that clip before, but only recently started binge watching the series. I'm eagerly awaiting that episode. :)
I'm actually curious which prices have changed. A quick google turned up an article claiming prices were being cut [1] but looking at the full price history tells a different story:

http://imgur.com/a/vDHAv

It looks like Intel's retail channel partners have a lot of inventory still in the pipeline. Prices are still within the bounds of the second half 2016. My best guess is the retail channel partners will be the most hurt by any slowdown of Intel CPU sales.

>But when a driver goes above and beyond, it feels good to tip. One driver offered me water and a towel when it was too hot. He genuinely gave a shit about me and lyft made tipping easy. I found lyft's customer service better.

Other people's livelihoods shouldn't depend on your sense of generosity. When I go above and beyond at my job I get a pat on the back and satisfaction of doing a good job. I don't do good work out of mercenary sensibilities.
Look, CE vs EE feature gating aside I think what rubs me the wrong way the most here is the abandoning of SemVer. I was following the PR where it happened and the reasoning seemed to boil down to a bunch of hand-wavey "just because". When 1.13.1 was released I installed it being pretty confident that it was only bugfixes and that's how I perceive the rest of the world to work. When I install 17.04 CE how will I have any idea of the impact on my servers vs 17.03 CE? I mean I read CHANGELOGS and stuff when I can but there's a certain level of comfort knowing that the people who create and package the software have spent enough time to figure out it's just a bunch of non-breaking bugfixes and I'm safe to send it out pretty quickly.

EDIT: I've seen somewhere that it's supposed to mirror the Ubuntu naming scheme but that's fundamentally different. I know that the "X.04 LTS" releases are stable-ish and they only come out every 2 years (right? Going off the top of my head here), which is waaaaay different than monthly releases in terms of time spent vetting the stability IMO.
Sweden is probably not a target in and of itself, but the island of Gotland is pretty much an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Baltic Sea. If Russia invades the Baltic states they probably don't want NATO based on it.
That doesn't sound like conscription, then. If they didn't have enough people saying yes, do they start drawing from the "no" pile?
quick nit: the author is a woman. I see other commenters making the same mistake. So, thought I would correct it.
I don't see any sarcasm here. Two previous macroeconomic transitions (industrial revolution, post-industrial white collar economy) were indeed resolved by world wars.

It's not, OP didn't count the other processes in (they are listed seperatly in Activity Monitor). VSCode needs roughly the same amount of RAM on macOS.
In this case the solution is to measure your BP yourself at home.
No army can exist without brainwashing. The only difference between volunteers and conscripts is that volunteers are not threatened/tricked into joining, but are incentivized to do so. Plus there is always a lot of government propaganda pushing "patriotism", trying to make military look "cool", shaming those avoiding service, etc, making some more willing to volunteer and some conscripts not opposing to it as much.
Russia Today? It would be nice for Russia to have a swath from Crimea to Dontesk up through Latvia, just look at a map.

Consider the classic example of king and queen. "Queen" will tend to occur near "female" words, like "she", "her", "woman", etc. And vice versa for "king". But both words will tend to occur near words talking about royalty, e.g. "castle", "crown", "ruler", etc.

So you can learn a decent amount of information about a word, just by looking at the words around it. This is the same thing we teach kids learning to read with "context clues". If I talk about bolgorovs and how delicious they are, and how they are ripe and sweet, etc. You can probably guess "bolgorovs" are a fruit, just from the context.
China’s taxi on-demand war reignited: Didi rival UCAR is raising $1B
Been a conscript myself. Brainwashing is still a science in the military. And it works kind of well. Of course, some people are just generally not suitable for the military, and they should be let go faster than the Norwegian army did when I was there. Of course when push comes to shove and you need meat for the meat grinder then things are very different. I know nothing about that.
The bug is not including this library. This library is 100% secure [i mean if this is a vuln in this library then a large proportion of libraries are insecure because they could be leaked to untrusted code and used to break the JVM trust model]. It just so happens this library used to contain a really-really useful gadget for exploiting another security problem. However, removing this gadget doesn't mean the security problem is fixed. There are other fun libraries. In fact classes similar to the Mad Gadget have been used in the JDK to escape the sandbox in the past. Yes, stuff like this exists or has existed in the JDK [https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/96a9fba82b85026750...].

And this work is very useful in so far as I'm sure the benefits it provides is going to massively outweigh the cost. However, if you have a naked ObjectInputStream#readObject in your code then you probably still have an exploitable security issue. Have a look at how well Jenkins strategy was to fixing this issue which was basically the same strategy as Operation Roshub. ie: removing the ability to access classes that were known to be used in gadget chains. Surprise, surprise it didn't last very long and people just found new gadgets.

And if you read this blog post then you might be mistaken into thinking that removing commons-collections from your classpath or upgrading commons-collection to the 'safe' version would make object deserialization safe but this is not the case. if you have a naked ObjectInputStream#read in your code then you are vulnerable to remote code execution.
Do nothing.

Plenty of able-bodied people today don't work. They live off investments, the government, and/or the largesse of friends and family. Many lead lifestyles you or I might find very limiting, but they're Americans and they vote. They'd become available to work if something matching their work ethic, life situation, and BATNA was to come along. For many, nothing ever will.

Our world is not really in very much chaos over this, compared to the chaos of the past 100 years from other sources.

Futurists once predicted that the 40-hour workweek would become a thing of the past as automation made leisure time more available. I submit that we're actually seeing that, though maybe we don't recognize it: many of us working more than 40 because we have jobs that require it, and with those of us working single digits being pretty quiet about it, the aggregate average is slipping further below 40 every year.

A society where 10% of the people work really hard and 90% of the people barely work at all sounds more like the popular concept of a utopia than a dystopia, at least to me.

The amount of competition in the beer world is just incredible. (I just checked with a beer-enthusiast friend and he tried over 1000 different beers just in 2016.) To get people's attention and then to maintain a reputation as a great beer for several years, a beer has to be more than just an extreme example of a certain style. No doubt, though, the ambition to be interesting to aficionados of a given style does push certain beers towards the extreme. These beers are not bad, just niche in their appeal.

There is truth in what you say about the psychological value of scarce beers. However, being hard to acquire cuts both ways in a world of so many alternatives: the beer enthusiasts that I know are quick to dismiss a beer as not worth the effort after one sip.
