"Much of europe" is a bit too generalising, that's more specifically the german and nordic model, labour relations in e.g. France have historically been much more combative and closer to the US's.

Every technology is subject to human error and inherently dangerous. In fact we have many technologies that are way more dangerous to humans than nuclear - cars, chemical plants, pharmaceuticals, etc. There is no rational reason to single out nuclear technologies as being in need of unachievable absolute perfection when we are fine (not ideal, but also not so bad that it's not worth it) with many dangerous ones the way they are. I think it has more to do with irrational fears than rational risk assessments.

It's not an either-or question. Both statements about male contraception are true: it relieves women of the responsibility (by allowing couples to decide to place the burden on the man) but it also gives control to men that previously only women had.

Audi/VW has been dragging their feet bigtime on the EV movement and wasting a whole bunch of energy shoving money down the turbodiesel pipe.

In North America VW actually pulled their only hybrid from their lineup for 2017, in the middle of dieselgate when hundreds of thousands of TDI owners who bought their diesel for its fuel economy are looking for a replacement.

They have their e-tron line, and they _look_ nice but they are far inferior to other PHEVs, especially the Chevy Volt and pack only an 8kwh battery.

When I give up my TDI because of dieselgate next month or the month after VW has nothing to offer me.
Solar and wind have no catastrophic downside, and storage is a tractable problem. A chronically small, grey-haired workforce that the population depends on both to power their lives and prevent catastrophe makes that workforce too powerful. It becomes a governance problem.

>...That mistrust is based on historical facts

What historical facts would those be? Historically nuclear has been about the safest form of mass power when looking at accidents:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_accidents

Anything at all related to nuclear is covered by the media orders of magnitude more than other power sources so people have an understandable perception that it is much more dangerous than the reality. A recent example would be the evacuation at the Oroville dam - almost 200,000 people were forcibly evacuated since the worst case failure scenario would have have been a tidal wave of water 30 feet high rushing down stream. This made the news for maybe a day. Can you imagine the type of coverage the media would have given if 200,000 people had to be evacuated near a nuclear power plant?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/12/us/california-oroville-dam-fai...

NASA has estimated that using nuclear power has saved an estimated 1.8 million lives that would have been lost if the power has been replaced by coal/gas:
https://climate.nasa.gov/news/903/coal-and-gas-are-far-more-...

(And yes, I know the people who oppose nuclear power usually will say they don't like coal and natural gas either, but we are going to need a predictable, reliable form of base load power for a long time. One of these three ways of generating electricity has much less health consequences than the other.)
Renewables haven't scaled yet, even if they are making progress.

Nuclear is interesting in that we have around 70-90 thousands years of fuel for the plants, which can only get cheaper/safer over time as the technology gets better. Currently, their capital requirements (they are expensive to build even if they are cheap to fuel) and waste problems make them fairly unviable. Couple that with being even less on demand than coal...
> So why do have to manually mutex or semaphore your threads? This is not a type system with concurrency capabilities is meant for.

You don't have to use mutex ! The Rust type system has two traits to ensure thread-safety : Send and Sync, and you can safely use anything which implement those traits. Mutex is one easy way to have these capabilities, but it's not the only one. You can build your own thread-safe data structure if you want, or even use third-party ones like crossbeam[1]. The compiler will then ensure that you never use non-thread-safe objects accross threads.

The ones I know, ex-Navy, are living pretty high on the hog.
Federal statute known as 18 USC Section 1702 makes it illegal to open correspondence addressed to someone else. I don't know that the mail services keep statistics of where mail comes from and to, although they likely do, but regardless, they don't get to know what the content is. They don't get to know what I buy from Amazon.. But they do know I shop at Amazon because they see the boxes. ISPs might be able to know you hit these servers but they shouldn't be profiling you based on all your browsing data.

If another person can't open your mail, then why is it so hard for lawmakers to understand that this adds up to the same? You route my mail/traffic, doesn't give you the right to spy into the contents of it, to know what I buy, what media I consume, what my hobbies are, how often I check my bank balances, whether or not I'm left or right leaning based on the news I consume, whether or not I'm shopping for internet at competing ISPs... List goes on. Imagine the depth of the information an ISP can build on you if they have all your browsing information.

The lack of respect shown towards the people who have made these companies possible by buying their services is appalling. And the fact that they keep competition away is even worse.

Provide your services and stop trying to suck in every penny from every potential revenue stream possible.

To make a comparison, just because my car has GPS, doesn't mean the manufacturer should track and sell my location and build a megacorp ads company to interrupt my radio and force me to listen to ads for businesses in my direct vicinity.

Just because you make shoes, and you could integrate piezoelectric energy capture devices, doesn't mean you should integrate tracking devices into people's shoes so you can sell the data to who ever wants it.

Just because you provide a service and because you've squashed competition by lobbying for everything which gives you monopoly, doesn't mean you should drop all sense of right and wrong.

There's countless business models which could abuse data collection and make a few extra bucks, but they don't. Because you don't always have to be a dick. Because at the end of the day, a businesses image should still be important because it is USUALLY what decides if consumers will keep on buying from them or not.. Unless there's no competition....

This by itself is big enough although some will argue its not a big deal. But once you remove all protections, you have no clue how far they'll go and once they go there, its harder to backtrack.

Classic libertarian fallacy: “every resource should be managed by markets and every problem solved by the marketplace”. Except, the Internet is not a commodity, it’s infrastructure: it’s not a car, it’s the road. For consumer fluff — sure, go the libertarian route (“shop around”), but for things that really matter, like infrastructure and healthcare, don’t look for trivial market-based solutions…

It's interesting that your counterexample - doing art - is indeed a form of work. Because it is. Doing good art is painfully hard work, in fact.

There's nothing in principle that stops a machine from creating art. Even, better art than any person could do. So once that happens, where are we left?

Meaning isn't something physical in the universe. Meaning is an emotion. It's what you feel when you're working towards something that you believe has some greater importance. With all opportunity to work towards anything taken away, life will become meaningless by definition, unless humans are left with some pseudo-artificial challenges to push against.

Zookeepers put the animals' food inside a metal box with a small hole, so the animals have to do work to get it out. It's good for the animals to have something to work towards, and they're too dumb to realize they're being manipulated. Maybe that's our future. With WoW and Clash of Clans, etc, sometimes it feels like we're already halfway there.
Its not one or the other, you preach the virtues of using both. I did that (condom and pill) with all my sexual partners before I got married and it wasn't uncommon among my peer group from what I saw.

That depends on whether said regulation actually increases barriers to entry or decreases them.

Anti-cartel ones do the latter. Many properly made regulations are not easier to adhere to by big vs small agents.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. As a developer you're at your most marketable state from the age of 20 to 30. Anything pass 30 (not ALWAYS) is usually not good.

What is an "idea"?

Is "social neworking" an "idea"? Is the language c an idea?

When you say that the c computer language is an idea, do you mean the idea of a higher order language or the "idea" of the syntax of c?

The question is ill-formed because the idea of "idea" is ill-formed.
Great comment - I wish I could vote this up more than once.
For the avoidance of doubt, as I see this sentiment all over the frickin internet, a united Ireland is a very unlikely outcome of Brexit.

The Good Friday agreement states that the Secretary of State for NI shall call a referendum on the question if he or she believes that it will be passed.

Right now, there is a solid unionist majority in the North. The gains made by Sinn Fein are most likely the result of unionists staying home (the first minister, Arlene Foster was accused of corruption). This will most likely remain the case for the next twenty years.

And even, if by some miracle or amazing confluence of events this occurs, I fear that we would have hardline freedom-fighters blowing crap up in the island for some time afterwards.

Scotland is definitely looking more likely, given the long-standing differences between their social policy and England, but the Spanish veto is always an issue (unless they join after the UK leaves).
What I'm getting at is even if they did try to use the method you described, I highly doubt they would even include that data of those congress members. I bet they blacklist users in situations like this. They are not just going to give that sort of thing out via a sell. Even if they law ALLOWS them, doesn't mean they sell to anyone with money.

This is what UK members of parliament did with a very similar bill, where they exempted themselves from the law itself: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/ne...

First of all, thank you antirez for this beautiful piece of software. And i agree you 100%.

At the first glance it looks simple. Later if you use it, it can get a beast very fast. But after you get some more knowledge about this, you know how to deal with it.

What i really like is your approach you mentioned: "Over the last years i learned...". And the users of redis can feel this.
More and more commands and tools are implemented in redis that makes handling of bigger envs way easier or tools to speed up your debugging sessions like WATCHDOG, SLOWLOG, latency based testing (as mentioned in the article).

Don't get me wrong. This article is not about blaming redis. I and we as a company, love redis. Thank you.
Yeah, I didn't like that conclusion either. I mean, it sort of paints too rosy of a picture of the Human Condition. Just winging it but I'm pretty sure about 80% of the world's population doesn't get far past the "How do I not die?" biological response, and has but fleeting concern for what one might ascribe to "Meaning."

Well, that and the line is kind of tone deaf in not acknowledging Religion gives people Meaning in their lives by way of Beliefs.
We can only hope they fail.
Hi, Salvatore. I was actually just recently deciding how to contact you as I saw an earlier comment of yours about wanting to switch you site over to Markdown.

Here is my understanding.

Redis pushes the limit of what can be accomplished using a single-threaded in memory data store. If your processing can be done by such a thing, Redis is probably the most efficient option available. (With, of course, persistence, replication, and so on for managing your data.)

But if you throw blocking operations or too much data at it, Redis is going to demonstrate the inherent limitations that come with being a single-threaded in memory data store.
I was mulling over a service like this. Was thinking I'd set it up roughly like so:

1. Create Terraform / Ansible scripting to boot up fresh DigitalOcean droplets with OpenVPN and encrypted DNS / pi-hole to strip out ads.

2. Bulk purchase cheap dynamic DNS domains (or just generate sub domains on command and hit some kind of load balancer).

3. Create scripting to shuffle the various VPN boxes every x time (each night, week, whatever).

I'm not an expert, so I might be missing things here. But I'd pay for that, and I think all you'd have to do as a client is put OpenVPN client on your router and point it to whatever static domain you're assigned by the service.

EDIT: I also figured I'd donate some % of proceeds to OpenVPN / Pi-Hole.

This. There's no reason to use voting machines. None. Paper ballots work and can't be hacked.
Is your implication that women are smarter than men, or that they are not notably distinguishable in cognitive capabilities?
It's really insulting that the exact same interview steps and questions are being handed to all levels of applicants. If you want to see a different screening process that focuses on the skills you've acquired (technical and soft) and not just trivia and knowledge of one exact stack, you'd have to move on to a management or exec position. Those that stay developers will find themselves sharing their screen while literally doing FizzBuzz and reversing linked lists with 10+ years of experience on their resume.

On the flip side, it takes a huge amount of forethought to create different tests, projects, and screening practices for every position and then re-shaping for each experience level, particularly if the team is young and inexperienced; it's difficult to test for what you don't have yet.
