There are a lot more trucks than there are nuclear warheads. If there were as many warheads, and they went as many miles as trucks, I expect that accidental detonations would be a lot more common.
Short answer: No it wouldn't make it easier to port.

Longer answer: The Linux subsystem in Windows 10 only deals with userspace. It doesn't support kernel modules nor changes anything about making Windows drivers. Porting ZFS to Windows is certainly possible, but it will take quite a lot of effort, and the Linux subsystem is irrelevant in that situation.
I read 30 years ago that some cargo ships were being equipped with computer operated sails, which would substantially reduce fuel use. I wonder what happened to that.

There is no "stupid" and "clever". There's only "consistent" and "inconsistent". JS isn't very consistent.
That might be true for awhile but technology tends to become cheaper and more available over time, barring artificial constraints like the types of regulations on drugs in America (which is a social issue, not a tech issue).

Then of course the risk is that a lack of genetic diversity wipes people out all at once, so some care is needed.

Also there already is a competition to become super beautiful, it's called sexual selection.

You know, I never tried, because I've never considered it a problem. I have 3 cups a day. I also know what it feels like to be too wired on coffee to sleep, so I feel like I know when that's not happening. But I've been drinking coffee for so many years uninterrupted... I do have to wonder if I even know what "normal" is.
Because they speciously choose to compare ship emissions to cars, which emit almost no oxides in the limited classes they select (because almost all their emissions are in the excluded category). This is an bald attempt to make the problem sound extreme. If they are compared to other sources of oxide emissions, it doesn't sound quite so bad. For example, for nitrous oxide, sewage accounts for fully a third as much as fossil fuels. Burning of biomass accounts for just as much. Agriculture emits SEVEN TIMES as much as fossil fuel combustion. Of course, I only chose Nitrous oxides, which allows me to make this bold statement about how terrible agriculture is. They are cherry-picking misleading data to advance a thesis. That's not acceptable.

I've been a SpiderOak customer since 2011. Long story short, I agree that performance is slow to the point of abysmal. What I will say though is I have yet to find any alternative that is a complete package solution that comes even close to matching what SpiderOak currently offers. On servers I tend to use etckeeper + tarsnap, but on the go traveling around the world I need a client-focused cloud backup solution with serious security, and frankly nothing else exists that I've found.

If you have a realistic option (e.g. a fully supported solution) from another provider I'm all ears, but frankly SpiderOak has been good in that they have lost 0 data for me and have been able to successfully restore several times. If they could just double or triple the speed for uploading it'd be a huge boon to me, but realistically most of the places I've gone in the world being able to upload 2MB/s is faster than my local Internet is capable of.
What's that line about correlation and causation?

Listen, as an immigrant I can only laugh at such statements. Such nonsense.

>California's public education system is below average. It is not what it used to be before Prop 13.

That has nothing to do with Prop 13 or money, though. You pay more in taxes today than you did pre-Prop 13, and in constant dollars we spend double what we spent on k-12 education in the early '70s.

>California's public funds are increasingly going towards paying public employee pensions.

Yes. By and large this is where the money is going.
Well, that's one way you can approach it: look at the graph of potential facts instead—but what I was considering was an interpretation of the Principle of Sufficient Reason where dead ends are fine at a single point in time, which adds another dimension to the graph and leaves freedom for not having dead ends, cycles, or infinite chains (as long as 'dead end' is interpreted as a node not only without outgoing edges, but which cannot develop any at any future time).
A codebase I work on at the moment has some hierarchies go to at least 6 or 7 levels, and I haven't had a problem with it. The way it's used doesn't hurt the ability to reason about it, it's just a logical progression of categories of objects getting more specific as they branch out. This is at the same time that a lot of composition and components are used.

I'd say excessively deep class hierarchy or bad abstractions are still a lot better than similarly "bad" imperative or other code, not sure about functional though.

How does FDA testing even affect drug prices? They demand proof of safety and efficacy.

As far as safety goes, the interests of pharma and the FDA coincide. You really don't want to find out that your compounds causes adverse effects once it has hit the market, it's a guaranteed win for the lawyers. People in the field will remember the Vioxx lawsuits. They were expensive to defend and a PR disaster as well, because it became known that Merck had a list of people it wanted silenced.

And if the FDA won't confirm efficacy for you you can be sure that your health insurance will be asking for proof before they pay. The only reason that Gilead can charge as much for their Hep C drug is that it is still cheaper than a liver transplant, and it is proven to work!
I don't think it would. I think what this actually shows is the opposite may be true even when it seems absurd to think that way. Crazy things might be used to locate you:

- Picture surfaces of person planning to do the live stream hopping off a plane. People track where they came from back to Malaysia.

- Person sees the dimensions of the rooms via the live stream. Runs over Google maps and finds all buildings with those dimensions.

- Half the area gets ruled out, because of the limitations of running a live stream means there is no connectivity in some of the areas.

- Rent a car service records hacked for only car dealer in that area. GPS logs of cars acquired. One of the cars went to one of the possible locations.

Burglar heads out breaks in and captures the flag.

It's completely absurd. Utterly absurd. Not much more absurd than what happened here though.
This is the fourth among the U.S. nuclear weapons institutions that I've read is in trouble, going back several years:

1) Air Force ICBM launch operations: The General in charge had a serious drinking problem (consider that for a moment), to the extent that he went on a bender in Moscow. Among launch officers, there was widespread cheating on qualification tests, disregard for regulations (such as sealing doors to secure rooms), and very low morale.

2) Air Force nuclear bomber operations: At one point, they lost track of a nuclear bomb (or maybe cruise missile), and it was flown to a base in another part of the country before anyone figured it out and could track it down. The Secretary of Defense fired the General in charge.

3) Security at facilities containing highly enriched uranium/plutonium (the essential material to making weapons; the one component that keeps terrorists from making one): At one facility, some peace protestors (not James Bond-level attackers) breached the security and setup a protest next to a building containing the materials. They were there for something like 30 minutes before they were discovered and apprehended.

4) And now this.

This isn't a system that can succeed 99.999% of the time. If one nuclear weapon gets into the hands of someone willing to lose it, millions of people will die and then you can imagine the response - the course of history and civilization will change.
You can make non-weaponizable nuclear power.
So, how does one set this up in the automated way?
Because every time someone gets around to focusing on anything, there's a loud chorus of people who thinks the focus should be elsewhere. The fact of democratic policy making is that it's hugely inefficient, and is rarely able to focus on anything at all, so the only way forward if you want to get anything done is to ride the wave of opportunity when it presents itself.

This reminds me of an old question on reddit after their HPHP compiler was announced and someone said asked if it was going to take erlangs role.

The answer is no, purpose built runtimes do not uproot established projects in another domain, and a proprietary corporate project to migrate legacy code will not fix issues of fragmentation. In fact, it just kinda piles it on.

If you're not willing to be up front with people then it's disingenuous to complain about it being tiring. You say you deliberately manipulate people but that you're also unwilling to change that. You're making a deliberate choice. If you refuse to make a different choice then there's no point complaining.
Yes, in Europe it would need to be an EU regulation (similar to how any individual US state would not be able to pull it off).

Ships also stop off at multiple countries, so just the US doing this would change quite a bit. The US also loves exercising soft power so this doesn't seem too far off once the EPA is run by someone who wants to protect the environment.
This seems to come up over and over again, and it always comes down to what assumptions you start with. If you accept all of the axioms and methods, the proof holds. If you don't, it doesn't. Articles like this one, aimed at an audience that already assumes that its techniques are valid, are never going to convince a non-mathematical audience that doesn't know what the basic assumptions are, because that's not their goal.

"zero" is one of those cool words. You'd have to beat the promotional types off with a stick.
I agree in that I go to Whole Foods or a similar store over mass market choices like Walmart, but even at Whole Foods you're not necessarily getting the best form of supplement in those generics. Differences between bio-availability or effectiveness can be very notable between citrates, acetates, chelates, glycinates, picolinates, etc. I've personally found some good functional medicine sources of information (I've found Chris Kresser and Chris Masterjohn informative, balanced, and non-doctrinaire) that pass the smell test, but find somewhere you trust that breaks that information down a bit more so that you're getting the best form of supplements. The best forms in my experience are typically not is the generics or multivitamins.
Your concerns are entirely fair, but this also isn't a new issue. Tabloid journalism has been a problem for as long as there have been tabloids. That phenomenon is well known to be highly influential around election times among the part of the population who read those tabloids, even though often that same part of the population will be hurt the most by the measures they are supporting but don't fully understand.

Well, we don't know that exactly as long as we keep stockpiling them throughout the world.
since competition drives prices down toward costs even if value is much higher

Indeed. In fact, for many drugs volumes and prices are such that the market will support just one supplier in the market, and then funny things happen.

There is exactly one supplier of benznidazole, which is one of the few things that actually work against T. cruzi. The other thing that works is nifurtimox, and that is in short supply as well.

Not portable? In comparison to which filesytems? I can easily export a ZFS pool on Linux, physically transport the discs to a FreeBSD or IllumOS server and import the pool. Or to MacOS X, which is also supported (though I haven't tried it unlike the others where it worked perfectly).

That's already far ahead of ext, ufs, xfs, jfs, btrfs etc. The only ones offhand which are possibly more portable are fat, hfs, udf and ntfs, and you're not exactly going to want to use them for any serious purpose on a Unix system. ZFS is the most portable and featureful Unix filesystem around at present IMHO.
It's weird to think about... people already try to look like particular types so much with just makeup, clothing, and surgery. As you say, it might be that we get some weird genetic monocultures for a while.

Then of course, maybe they'll all die off. Breeding is a tricky business, as any farmer or botanist will tell you, and at least there you're taking it slowly.

Actually, to address realtime constraints... In my job, I work on systems with realtime constraints and even in less critical parts (latency of ~100 microseconds is still acceptable) we had to eliminate all malloc calls. Mostly because malloc on our platform essentially acquires one big lock for memory operations and if some other process has that lock, you get nasty delays or even priority inversions. Allocate a big chunk beforehand, preferrably in the form of ring buffers, and then operate on these if you need precise timing and performance.
Can you give a source for your assertion that "we have the technology to detect those"? That sounds hand wavy. I am not aware of a complex system where that kind of thing exists predictably. Especially when you're doing editing that will permanently affect the gene line, I'd say predictability is impossibly if not in theory, computationaly.
Hardware RAID does not suffer from the write-hole like MD-RAID does (thanks to on-board supercap-backed non-volatile memory).

I can't remember if it was merged upstream, but some folks from Facebook worked on a write-back cache for MD-RAID (4/5/6 personalities) in Linux which essentially closes the write-hole too. It allows one to stage dirty RAID stripe data in a non-volatile medium (NVDIMMs/flash) before submitting block requests to the underlying array. On recovery, the cache is scanned for dirty stripes, which are restored before actually using the P/Q parity to rebuild user data. I worked on something similar in a prior project where we cached dirty stripes in an NVDIMM, and also mirrored it on its controller-pair (in a dual-controller server architecture) using NTB. It was a fun project, when neither the PMEM nor the NTB driver subsystems were in the mainline kernel.

So what? 10% of all healthcare costs is a gigantic number. And you'll have to excuse me if I take a position paper from Pfizer with a grain of salt.
It will be interesting to see what happens with them in the UK after brexit.
One reason would be if pharma has a sufficiently larger margin than hospitals and doctors. It might be the case that there's more to save in that 10% than the rest of the 90% (especially when the cost of implementing change is considered).
I agree, why is it that doctors make such high salaries? Is it because of the long and relatively difficult education and training that they have to go through? That is definitely part of it but in my opinion those salaries (which in many countries are publicly funded) could be reduced drastically by training more doctors.

Professional societies have a strong interest in artificially keeping the supply of qualified doctors low in order to keep salaries high. University admissions for medical school continue to be extraordinarily low in proportion to the number of applicants yet there are still shortages in many parts of the country.

Unfortunatly, btrfs is not stable and zfs needs a "super computer" or at least as much GBs of ECC RAM as you can buy. This solution is designed to any machine and any FS.
That's a minor concern and unrelated to the portability claim. That comes down to choice, and is not a technical consideration. I'm using it with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 where it works out of the box. It's most certainly portable to and from Linux and other systems; I've done it personally, and it works a treat.
