Hello, former SDC coworker!

The official Selenium Docker image uses the same technique to run headless Chrome / Firefox.

From there you can just run

docker run -d -P selenium/standalone-chrome

and you'll get something a lot more lightweight than spinning up a new Vagrant VM.
I couldn't agree more about your analysis of Idiocracy. While the movie is entertaining, I found it surprising that it ignored the developing world (where intelligence/IQ/appropriate-proxy is increasing and poverty decreasing).

The whole movie seemed to be a cheap dig on stereotypes of rural/redneck behavior rather than any meaningful look at society. The conclusion that it hand-holds the audience is that the "wrong" kind of Americans don't respect intellectuals enough and they will ruin the country. The movie literally ends by the educated savior being respected for being smart.

I don't agree with your indictment of satire in general; I consider Idiocracy to be pretty ham-fisted in that regard. Especially compared to much better Mike Judge works like Office Space and Silicon Valley.
[The UN] don't really have any way to enforce these rights.

However, the countries that belong to the UN do. If enough of them are willing to put their money where their mouth is, which is going to be a matter of local political pressures as much as anything, the picture changes.

> So does this apply to this case - yes, even though this individual was removed to accommodate UA employees the fact was there were more passengers holding valid tickets than there were available seats

There were an equal number of passengers holding valid, confirmed tickets and available seats. Until United decided to reduce the number of available seats to make room for employees who did not hold valid, confirmed tickets.

> the language of the contract says "boarding" ... Is there really a world of difference between not being let on the plane and being asked to leave once you've taken your seat. I don't think there is.

That is ridiculous. The act of getting on the plane and taking a seat is literally the definition of the word "boarding". Once you have boarded, you can no longer be denied boarding because you've already done it. They didn't redefine the term to mean something weird in the Rule 1 - Definitions section, so they need to abide by the normal meaning of the term.

as I said before oversell is defined in the contract as more passengers than available seats, it is not defined as more passengers than seats. Some of the seats were unavailable because they were given to airline employees - this, while poor customer service, is well within the defined terms of the contract.

> Anger is definitely not okay.

This sounds like you're saying anger is never okay. Is that true?

Because I can think of many instances when there's something more important than "not being angry", and anger may be necessary to achieve that goal.

I also don't follow your prescription for roundabout criticism. I've worked successfully with many teams where we were much more direct, and we were very pleased with our outcomes, and fellow team members.

Patroni has REST API providing a health-checks for load-balancers. patroni:8008/replica will respond with http status code 200 only if node is running as replica.

In the HAProxy config file you just need to list all Patroni nodes, specify a health-check and it will do a load-balancing for you.

The same approach works for example with AWS ELB.
If you get the chance, have a look into some of the battles that happened around the country. You can go to many of the sites and key locations extremely easily. They often happened in such recent history that the effects are still relevant today. For example, being able to stand in the room where the battle of Gate Pa was planned and dinner was eaten, then see the site a few KM away gives a good perspective.
That's a bit odd - I wonder if it's just a sanitation issue?

Certainly no load-bearing climbing gear is ever returnable. Harnesses, ropes, draws, and pro aren't (and shouldn't be) returnable or resalable ever. I assume helmets can't be either.

But non-safety gear like chalk bags can be returned, and I'm surprised they won't take back approach shoes since they aren't even used on a wall.
I'm in the same situation (I literally had to start with "what is a factor again?") and I've found just doing a little every morning works. It's slow but learning one or two concepts a day avoids frustration. Selby's Practical Algebra was good and then worked my way through Schaum's Precalculus book, supplemented by stuff on the web.

You're right. In the real world there are messy concerns and problems that aren't present in academia. Innocuous research can be used for nefarious means. If there is a chance of that happening, should the research be published? A very interesting (and very real) ethical question.
There isn't really a "them" to buy. It's open source, and there are lots of instances. As it currently stands, if one instance sells to a company, I suspect the vast majority of people will migrate to other instances.

Indeed, I expect that a migration tool will be developed soon for exactly that reason - it's exactly the paranoia-inducing scenario that will provoke the type of person who runs an instance.

I certainly wouldn't sell my instance.
Not a lawyer, but it's really very simple. The law defines the minimum compensation an airline must offer a passenger denied boarding. It does not define a maximum amount. As is generally true for most entities, there is nothing preventing airlines from paying anybody they want as much money as they want, for anything or for nothing. So they are perfectly free to offer more money than that. But in a practical sense, it is ALSO the maximum that any airline will actually offer. Why offer someone $1500 to give up their seat voluntarily when you can boot them involuntarily for $1350? They're not in the airline business out of love, they're going to solve problems for the least amount of money possible. Imagine if Comcast put on your bill "Please pay at least $74.99, or more if you think it's fair." Sure, a few crazy people might send $200 out of their unadulterated love of their cable service, but the vast vast majority of people are gonna send exactly $74.99. It's both the minimum allowed legally, and the maximum expected in practice.
Ask HN: Which is better tmux or screen?
Before you go on pointing me to archives or asking me to google understand that I have done that.
The reason for asking is all the comparisons are by now old. I ask now because both might have progressed a long way.
I personally use tmux but am not a pro user. I want to know if there is something that tmux has that screen doesn't have or vice versa.
I would also like to know which is more light weight, more configurable.

Also I would really like to know the scenario of how you use either.

Thanks,

Astonishingly, Real Mode still exists even on 64-bit Intel chips, and is still the default mode. Booting a modern OS involves a whole stack of bootstraps to jump from Real Mode to Protected Mode to Long Mode.

It's duct tape all the way down.
My office used to be nice and cozy in the winter because of the heat thrown off by computers and CRTs. These days, it's really not that different from any other room in the house.
Right. It is just like explosives. There is no problem leaving agents of rapid chemical reaction lying around where kids may find them, it is the kids.

This also has nothing to do with robots.
I am not a lawyer, but the $1350 is like a cap on the 4x amount. If the fare is $200 they must offer up to $800 ($200x4). If the fare is $400, they must offer up to $1350.

$400x4 = $1600, so without that $1350 cap they would have to offer $1600 using the 4x rule, but because that cap exists they can offer just $1350. Basically any fare above $337.5 can be treated as the same amount by the airlines, which is kind of silly since that's a really low fare relative to any kind of average flight cost.

The way people seem to be getting confused is assuming that cap is the maximum they can legally pay.. it isn't, it is the capped minimum they have to pay when following the 4x rule.
Still seeing it; try "Galaxy S5" mode in the Chrome debugger.

The problem is that

- taking away that control is just one parameter, one preset, one configuration setting away

- We don't exactly have the best track record for consistently picking people we can trust not to fuck with those configuration settings for their own ends

> I think people have seen way too many scary movies about AI, and it's tainted our whole discipline.

I think people have been burned too many times by their 'authorities who know better', and fortunately at least now have a sense of where the slippery slopes are (if not exactly how best to navigate them).

I'd pick erring on the side of caution over sliding down one of those cliffs any day. If you think it's such an impairment to progress, feel free to live in a non-paranoid place; but if "it's only paranoia when someone's not trying to break it for their own gain", as far as I'm concerned it's rarely-to-never going to be 'just paranoia'.

(With that said, this particular post isn't too scary, and just reduces to the "control your hardware" problem. That, and 'control your networks' are the big ones for now.)

For whatever it's worth, I've never had issues. They seem to have mostly cut the 'lifetime' part of "lifetime guarantee", and still deal with defects even outside of a one year window.

I suspect it's mostly a matter of REI employees having more discretion than most retail workers - they're usually quite outdoorsy and have a decent eye for what's an unreasonable failure.
Why are there so few new car companies? Because Ford, GM, and Chrysler did a great job of building brands, distribution, and acquiring their smaller competitors. The World Wars and subsequent reinvestment in the impacted countries yielded some great international competition. Now Tesla and maybe Apple will enter.

If you look at almost every industry there is a ~50 year period where there is a huge amount of creative destruction and then a trend towards conglomeration. It's why we still use Alexander Graham Bell's phone services, Thomas Edison's industrial equipment, and watch movies from the Warner Brothers.

If you look at a list of the top 25 Pharma companies, you'll see that there are as many companies on the list founded before 1781 and after 1981. This will likely happen with tech too.
How do you think the IRS checks your return? They already have everything they need for the vast majority of people (which includes tax payers, those who don't need to pay tax, those who don't need to even file, etc).

People with various sorts of cash businesses that don't appear at any of the classic touch points are few and far between, and probably don't report anyway.

And for the remaining people who, say, want to record an expense to offset a capital gain (like a remodel that increases the sale price of their home): they have an incentive to let the tax authorities know, since it reduces taxes. I doubt many people would do this more than once or twice in their lives unless they ran a real estate business.
I love learning math from books, I feel like being forced to do the visualization in my own head can be helpful. I've seen a ton of beautiful math visualizations and I always enjoy them but on the whole, I think I've learned more from textbooks.

That said, the three blue one brown youtube course on Linear Algebra is truly amazing. I highly recommend it.

Competitive people are often very good at working in teams, see any team sport, or team programming contests.
You are defining "boarding" narrowly as the act of getting onto a plane. I think it's clear that wasn't what's meant by the contract and it is only being interpreted in this narrow way because people are angry with United. Reading boarding in the contract suggests that it it intended to refer to the whole process before the flight.

The contract says "more passengers than available seats" not "more passengers than seats" if it were the latter your argument would be valid, in this case, seats may be unavailable for any number of reasons including there were other passengers or employees who took priority - not great customer service and I won't be flying United anytime soon - but from a standpoint of legal liability, it is well within the wording of the contract.
Seriously.

We can double the size of a loss making business! We can lose money twice as fast!

Actually it looks like losses relative to revenues are smaller than they were, but that's still not impressive. Especially when it's non-GAAP anyway.

How much money do they have? How did they raise so much without giving any control away and not going to the public markets? I mean... a billion here, a billion there, sooner or later it adds up... right?
If you're in AWS then EFS is what is designed to do that, it is not cheap, but setting up a reliable solution is not easy either.

If your goal is file based storage (not block based), application can make api calls to get data and is mostly read, then S3 might also be an option.

Alternatively, roll-your-own on EC2 instances, which might not be as easy.
That works for me. I wasnt trying to discredit the machine, I was asking with genuine curiosity, since I knew that there was a difference between emulators and "reference" hardware. Cheers :)

That's a terrible example. He's talking about control and overrides; in that context, a red light is a literal counterexample of your point.

You can violate systems with overrides, and doing so might have consequences, but that's distinct from systems you can't override which was kemendo's point on our fear of where the control lies. (If tomorrow we decide to swap the meaning of red and green, that control is still humans'; the lights won't do anything about it.)

A self-driving car that locks up if you try and run a red would be an example, but as you didn't say that I'm guessing you just missed the point.
The UK web-based procedure for self-employed tax return is very easy to use.

I think you are making a distinction without a difference. If the word vectors pick up biases from wikipedia text, than for all practical purposes, they are (indirectly) absorbing stereotypes from humans. This is an expected result, but not necessarily desirable in the end.

I question this speculation. It seems to me that people start from the assumption that the NSA is unhackable and work backwards from there. There is no reason to believe this.

The NSA uses Windows like everyone else. There are multiple Windows 0day RCEs in this dump, which may not be all of it by far. All it'd take is to find a single Windows server that isn't properly airgapped - and the NSA TAO can't possibly be airgapped given that its job is to hack people over the internet - and you have a foothold.

The incentives for these intelligence agencies are all wrong and I think even if this particular dump isn't traced to a direct compromise of their network, it's bound to happen eventually. They've been operating on the assumption that all nation states work in secret, so even if they get totally hacked by their adversaries the White House will never find out. However, their chain of command would definitely notice if they stopped sending intercepted intel up to them. This means they're strongly incentivised to horde exploits even if they're sure their enemies know the very same exploits and even if they're sure they can't defend themselves.

The Shadow Brokers appear to have at a stroke invalidated the assumption of universal secrecy. These are people who have access to the NSAs most sensitive internal tools and documents, and are simply ... burning it all.
If you have access to a school-provided tablet, see if it's doing a MITM on SSL/TLS connections. Go to some web site like a big bank, and examine the site's certificate in detail.
Since we think of biases of a large human corpora as wrong, I'm curious how one would find one or make one that is "right".

Given how accurate human corpora is at predicting things like gender distribution in jobs for instance, wouldn't making an "unbiased" corpora make an inaccurate AI?

Shouldn't we be careful in implying things like the biases and solutions to said biases? For instance, I'd like to know if my algorithm for filtering job applicants is trying to undo the injustices of the world in addition to finding the best candidates.
For decades New Zealand has had trouble attracting immigrants. And they lose a lot of young talented native Kiwi people to places like the U.S., Australia, and Great Britain.

There's really no comparison between the US and New Zealand when it comes to immigration. They're opposites.

And, let's see how this latest attempt to attract high-skill immigrants goes. It's easy to romanticize New Zealand when you've spent your whole life in big US cities. Moving there is another thing entirely. It is remote and mostly rural. I will not be surprised if most Americans who go there come back within a few years.
Keep in mind how low a 30% tax rate is. It's low relative to the OECD and, depending on your politics, needs to go up or have some higher brackets for the wealthier.

"Oversold Flight means a flight where there are more Passengers holding valid confirmed Tickets"

Sorry, it's not that easy. Employees flying non-revenue don't have "valid confirmed Tickets". At best, they have something called a "must ride" pass.

That also doesn't address what "Boarding" means. Can you "deny boarding" to someone already on board? If so, are you using the various other references to "board/ed/ing" in the same light in the contract?

For what it's worth, I'm not 100% convinced I'm right here. I'm not a lawyer. But there are real aviation lawyers saying this looks very grey. That's why I'm suspicious of opinions saying this is a simple matter.

I much prefer the truth as a defense idea

The problem with truth as an absolute defence is that as the courts famously remind us, "the truth" is not the same standard as "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth".

The extra parts can be rather important when someone's reputation is at stake. For example, consider the difference between "John was accused of being a paedophile" and "John was accused of being a paedophile, though the investigation was soon dropped after no supporting evidence was found and it turned out that his accuser was an ex-girlfriend with a track record of psychiatric problems including making false allegations of serious criminal behaviour to get people she didn't like into trouble".

This is also why the EU "right to be forgotten" ruling wasn't nearly as crazy as some people have been suggesting, BTW.
