So, what do I do if my tastes are midway between the two?

I mean, I like sweet dessert wines on occasion, like a good muscat, but mostly I would prefer wines that are just a bit sweeter, just a bit less bitter, than the "good" wines, and I sure as heck do appreciate complex flavors. I like merlots, cabernets, petit syrahs, reislings, pinot noirs, and on and on.

Chardonnays often just hit you over the head with oaky vanilla flavor. Might as well be drinking a cream soda.

For reference, I rarely drink sodas which are also too sweet, most of the time I stick with either tea or just water. I also usually prefer hard ciders to beer (which is also often too bitter to be enjoyable).

Oh, and I am not a supertaster (I love broccoli, for example).

So, any wines out there that fit the bill?

Oh, absolutely! In some scenarios you could enrich yourself by driving the business into the ground and manipulating the stock, and then let one of your hapless competitors merge with the failing railroad while you founded a new one.
You've got one good reply already, let me give it a shot too:

Tokio is an asynchronous IO stack for Rust. Like many frameworks/large libraries, you have to call things something. It's largely inspired by Finagle, and so shares some of its terminology, but not all of it, as Rust and Scala/Java are very different.

You can use futures without tokio. Futures are the lowest level of the stack: they give you a way to create a value that represents something "in the future". You make a future, it processes stuff in the background, and then you call a function to say "wait until the value is ready." You can do stuff in the meantime. It's not tied to IO or anything else, any kind of computation you want. It is mostly a very thin interface. I have a hobby OS project, and I'm considering making it "everything is a future".

mio is a thin abstraction over epoll/kqueue, and a slightly larger one over IOCP. That is, low-level asynchronous IO primitives.

tokio-core is futures + mio. That is, it takes the futures pattern and applies it to IO. It does this by adding an event loop, a "reactor core" (hence Core) that drives the futures along.

On top of that is tokio-proto. This lets you build protocols nicely on top of tokio-core.

This new package extracts out the main interface from tokio-core, so that if you wanted to, you could replace it with something else. Previously, you got these interfaces only from tokio-core, and so you had to depend on it to use them, which means you had to use only tokio-core. The idea with this package is that it gives you more composability; the interfaces are in here, so those working from above can use them, and then when you're building the stack, you can use tokio-core, or some other backend.

Finally, many people who use tokio won't actually use this directly: it's something other library authors build on top of. For example, hyper uses the tokio stack to do async HTTP requests. So most people don't even need to know or think about any of this. For example, I'm working on a little web framework on top of all of this, here's what it looks like to use: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/thanks/blob/master/src/... (this is _extremely_ small and a work in progress, don't expect Rails.) No need to look at or think any of that stuff.

As for examples, https://tokio.rs/docs/getting-started/tokio/ goes through the entire stack, bit by bit, building it up. It also links to a variety of other examples.
I wonder how you came to that conclusion.

(I am not implying you did not come to that conclusion.)

>A better solution would be to just let more companies build roads in your town.

That sounds great, except the roads have all been built. It's prohibitively expensive and risky to try to build out your own parallel set of infrastructure, whether it's roads or cable. I mean, if Google tried and failed to do it, who else is going to be able to succeed?

Tokio-Proto also makes it easy to compose a protocol stack.

We didn't really have a culture of summer travelling and staying in hotels, or even usually motels - I grew up camping with my parents, and occasionally staying in a camping ground (most small towns have one) that means hot showers and a tent or cabin (bring a sleeping bag) - as the article says we have had a sudden influx as the GFC retreats ... we're also seeing a lot of Chinese visitors who used to only take block bookings in hotels from coach tours and now are becoming more adventurous and travelling by themselves like you are.

Really as a rule we don't have a problem with "freedom camping" - it's what I grew up doing, a very kiwi thing - and many (I think most) people would like to encourage it ... except for the problem with foreign freedom campers not cleaning up after themselves (if you are planning on crapping on the side of the road please bring a chemical toilet)

Saving $140/day at the risk of $100M damage to infrastructure is not good financial sense. It's the financial sense exercised by the kind of person who expects someone else to pay for the mess, i.e. a government official. A private corporation which was exposed to the liability would have likely chosen to raise the price of water to pay for the corrosion inhibitor, but someone whose job is to manipulate the balance sheet for political gain has a different utility function.

Is that a tongue-in-cheek jibe at Trump? It's hard to know if Trump is for or against wikileaks now. They were BFFs, but now wikileaks has been accused of treason by Fox news. Or does that mean they're still in Trump's good books because he hates the CIA? It's all very confusing.

How do folks feel about Terraform vs Cloudformation for AWS-only deployments these days? Do we have a clear winner?

> You're playing semantics here.

No, I'm using the term "black hole" as it is actually defined in physics.

> If you define a black hole as a clump of matter entirely contained within its own Schwarzschild radius

Then you are not defining the term "black hole" as it is actually defined in physics.

> Even if you define a black hole as "a region from which light can't escape to infinity", a theoretical black hole inside of another black hole doesn't violate this definition.

Yes, it does, because once you are inside the boundary of one such region, that's it. There can't be a second boundary further inside; if there were, there would have to be a region from which light can escape to infinity (outside the second boundary), inside a region from which light can't escape to infinity (inside the first boundary). That's not possible.

In other words, if one black hole falls into another, what you get is not two black holes, one inside the other. What you get is one black hole. The two holes merge into a single hole.

I love terraform! It is one of the few tools I've found that was easy to understand and easy to integrate with legacy stuff, and it very quickly saved me a huge amount of time.

It only took me about 30 minutes to setup a terraform file that could bring up and teardown an entire web stack with a single command. I was so shocked by how straightforward it was that I brought the stack up and down a few times just to make sure it was actually repeatable.
I could never figure out how to play it. Of course, it didn't help that I only had the disc, not the manual

Eh. Cucumbers, bell peppers, mushrooms, and almost all fruits including tomatoes can be enjoyed raw. Broccoli and cauliflower, too, if your teeth are good - delicious with a dash of vinegar and salt - and while we're visiting the Brassicaceae, let's not overlook kale, which can be brined or salted, then dried in a low-temperature oven, to produce amazing kale chips; granted, this does take us a bit higher on the prep time scale, but it's the sort of prep you do once, on a weekend day, and pay little attention, and once it's done, you just grab a bag and you're off and running.

More often than not, building and deploying is secondary for developers to writing the library itself, if that. Build scripts and installation don't get the same treatment and care the library does.

The is one of the primary reasons why I prefer distribution-packaged libraries to pulling a library and its dependencies directly from developers. Staleness is a small price to pay relative to having at least two sets of eyes glance over the source and not execute arbitrary build scripts on my system.

> The problem is that you've instructed it to maximize Facebook's corporate interests. How do you leave room for "the intentions of its creators" while doing that? There's an inherent contradiction between putting a giant override button on your superintelliegence's goals but not overriding them all the way.

Well, assuming it is created by Facebook, then "maximize Facebook's corporate interests" and "the intentions of its creators" are actually the same thing. There is no contradiction.

"Facebook's corporate interests" is a phrase in the English language which refers to a complex concept. If you've told an SI its objective is to "serve Facebook's corporate interests", in order to fulfill that objective it needs to understand what the phrase "serve Facebook's corporate interests" actually means–which implies understanding a lot about human society, what kind of entities corporations are, what "corporate interests" means (the interests of management? the interests of shareholders? etc), what the interests of human beings are (since management are human beings, and shareholders are directly or indirectly human beings too), etc. If it actually is an SI, it should have no trouble comprehending the full breadth of what the instructor actually meant by the instruction, as opposed to implementing some overly literalistic reading of it. Humans give each other orders all the time (the workplace, the military, government bureaucracies, etc), and humans are most of the time pretty good at understanding the intention behind orders and implementing the intention rather than reading it overly literally in such a way that actually undermines that intention. Yet you posit the existence of an SI then assume it will do a worse job than humans do at correctly following orders, which contradicts the idea that it is an SI.

> Sure. How certain are you?

How certain can I be of anything? Maybe I am wrong and an anti-human SI will destroy humanity. Maybe tomorrow I will die due to a heart attack or stroke or fatal car accident. The latter is far more likely than the former, and there's more concrete mitigation strategies available to me too.

In terms of existential risks to humanity, I think asteroid impacts are a far more concrete risk than anti-human SIs, so if we are going to expend resources in mitigating existential risks, the former is a better focus of our efforts. We know extinction-level asteroid impacts have happened before and sooner or later will happen again. Anti-human SIs are such a speculative concern, we can't even be particularly confident in the correctness of our own probability judgements with respect to them; nor can we have much confidence in our judgements of how effective proposed mitigation strategies actually will be. I think we can have much more confidence in our ability to develop, evaluate and deploy asteroid defence technologies, if the world's governments decided to spend money on that.
