This statement sounds typical of a medical researcher - you are trained to think this way. However medicine has a long and horrible history of mocking as quacks those who have the truth, and are a step ahead of the powers that be. At one point doctors thought germ theory was idiocy and mocked those who insisted on cleanliness.

Just because there is no evidence that "top researchers" accept today does not mean that it won't come out in the future.

For something as toxic as this, I think we are best to assume dangerous until proven safe.
Look into Australian police tactics if you think racial makeup is the prime driver of militaristic police tactics.

There are much more reasonable ways to enquire about a potential drug situation, and that is all these raids are, very violent enquiries, given little to no evidence past a phonecall exists to pin the household.

If you are going to search the whole house anyway, and surround the perimiter, what good does such an aggressive incursion produce? These aren't military outposts, the element of surprise gets you next to nothing.
I like this. It looks like a much better fleshed out version of a one-off python script I use to search bash history - it even coincidentally has the same name so it'll fit right into the muscle memory :D

Well, you can look at age timeline:

Start school at 7;

Start university at 19;

Start PhD at 25 [4-year bachelors + 2-year masters] if you can do that immediately after masters, or 26;

Finish PhD at 28, or 29 (if it's a 3-year PhD, otherwise older);

Finish first post-doc at 31, second one at 33/34.

By mid-30s you are just starting your tenure-track (assuming you get some semi-permanent position at a university or research institute)

I'm currently doing a PhD [quantum chemistry] and this is basically my expectation for the future.
Hey man, I get that you need something NOW and I am sorry about that, but I have to say this is a teeeeensy bit over the top.

Yeah, StatefulSet is still beta. We're getting miles on it before we tell people that we 100% back it. But you know what? People ARE using it. In production. With real data. And they mostly are just fine.

I run a (tiny) database against k8s. I trust it with my own data.

What you say "the container engine underlying k8s will delete all changes made to the image" is true - don't write files straight to your image FS! This is containers 101. We have PersistentVolumes for this very reason. Data that has a lifetime of its own.

Does this absolve you from backups? No. Does it mean you don't need to think about upgrades? Hell no, you still have to know what your apps are up to.

Nobody is making people use containers for databases, but the power of systems like Kubernetes is pretty addictive, and a lot of people are pouring a lot of energy into this problem.
The images from VK included in the author's original post are somewhat disturbing. Nothing in this incident is inconsistent with an automated process flagging his article, and a underpaid/overworked reviewer seeing the images without taking time to digest the article in full and concluding "yup, looks like hate speech".

Aside: I helped moderate a (poorly-run) veganism Facebook group for a few months. If I banned everyone who posted pictures of eviscerated animals, I'd have banned half the legitimate members. (There's a certain type of activist that thrives on eliciting visceral reactions from those who already agree with them. I don't get it.) So I can understand how Google's review process could get tripped up by stuff like this.
That's a terrible story. :( And a timely reminder that 'non-toxic' doesn't mean 'edible'.

It seems like a heartless nitpick but the reason button cells are dangerous is because they're batteries, not because of their constituent chemicals. The electric current they generate electrolyzes water producing highly corrosive hydroxide. A running blender isn't poisonous either, but you wouldn't eat one.
ahem the only correct way to do any cowsay command is to end with double piped "cowsay -n" invocations.

I don't understand, you said: They suspended them for advocating people call and harass the comptroller of New York.

But the sentence you quoted says no such thing, it says that the group itself is "calling on" (which is not the same as "calling") the comptrollers to do something. The group is not advocating that anyone else call them.
ESPOL and a full OS written in it, Burroughs B5500 nowadays sold as Unisys MCP, predates C by about 10 years, having been released in 1961.

There were already powerful computers than the PDP-11, with more saner languages.
I like your zsh history too. Will you post all of it here unedited?

Also, on pentests the ~/.bash_history file is literally the first thing we look at. It's lovely: in an instant, you know exactly which files on the system are important, why they're being used, and what the high-priority targets might be for pivoting to a different box. In some cases it cuts hours off the job. So to keep hackers happy, please don't delete your bash history on production servers.
> Look into Australian police tactics if you think racial makeup is the prime driver of militaristic police tactics.

Nowhere did I say anything of the sort. At least Australia is a better comparison than the EU or UK. And I agree with you that increased militarization of the police is both unnecessary and counterproductive.

So the question remains: why is the police becoming increasingly militarized when the results are worse across the board?
The first option sounds great, it lets you potentially re-use the same shader binary. Out of curiosity, what benefit does the webassembly approach have? Wouldn't have to be translated by the runtime into something the driver supports (i.e. spir-v) anyway? I realize you probably want to abstract away the differences between Metal's shader IR and SPIR-V, but i think you could realistically translate from SPIR-V to metal IR, while letting other platforms use SPIR-V directly.
I'm not convinced said strings were attached, more that they were added afterwards. The passenger was in a position to fly, and was removed for reasons that the airline had absolute control over.

There was zero reason to remove him from the flight other than United deciding they had a better use for the seat (which if we accept, should we start expecting United to remove people from flights if someone shows up offering to pay more? I'm not convinced there's a material difference between the two cases).
Unfortunately, both sides work to systematically limit voting by their opponents, albeit using different tactics because the targets of suppression are different.

See https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-democrats-suppress-... for some details.
There were seven great houses in the Sassanid empire and in the last years of the empire, they had been in conflict with the Sassanid court in South West Iran due to, according to some historians, years of overtaxing to support the war against Rome. Concurrent with the war, there was a plague in Western Persia killing half the population in 628.

When the Muslims invaded, the two most powerful houses refused to fight, and returned to their land in north east Iran. This left a weakened Western Persia alone to fight the invasion, which it could not successfully do.
Lots of them, like any Modula descendent.

C only became relevant outside UNIX around the late 90's.
Please remember that Kubernetes itself is literally less than 2 years GA. Stateful is hard. It wasn't the first thing we tackled. It's in progress now, and feedback so far is pretty good.

That may not be enough for you yet, and that's OK. Check back in 6 months and see how it is progressing.
While reading this, I went looking for the ZLL master key. What surprises me is that it got DMCA'd everywhere, including Hacker News:

And there was really no outrage about it. Very strange.

Some sites require the periodic deletion of .bash_history and .history files as a security policy, because they're quite likely to contain passwords and other secrets in them.
You can only do that if you qualify for USAA though which means you need to be:

Active, retired and honorably separated officers and enlisted personnel of the U.S. military.

Officer candidates in commissioning programs (Academy, ROTC, OCS/OTS).

Adult children of USAA members who have or had a USAA auto or property insurance policy.1

Widows and widowers of USAA members who have or had a USAA auto or property insurance policy.

yes exactly - if you're going to Shenzhen figure out which buildings will sell you 10 and which are really there to sell you 10,000, the market prices to you are already cheaper than what you're used to for most stuff anyway.

If you do need 10,000 you're probably buying reels anyway, there are places that will sell you those, and if you really are manufacturing get a local sourcing agent to help you they will know who sells reliable stuff at a good price
Income statistics adjust for inflation, so if housing costs go up, that will be reflected as lower real income. Your point, that "low income" doesn't do an effective job at describing the specific problem of rising rents, has validity. I guess the point I was trying to make is that if incomes had increased more, people would be able to afford to allocate a higher share of their income to housing costs, since the remainder of their larger income would be enough to cover their other expenses. In other words, higher costs are easier to bear with higher incomes.

I'm not familiar with the demise of smaller/1-BR units. Any sources on that?

I don't know why, but I kind of want to see a truly gargantuan IoT debacle unfold at this point.

Something beyond stupid, and completely preventable, and all the more horrendous, because at this point, it can only be funny.

I want to see something like a TV commercial accidentally trigger a home automation system, which corrupts the operation of a class of light switches, which cascades onto smart microwave ovens, which transmit kill signals to self-driving cars which synchronize with flying cars at which point they all swarm the nearest hospitals and explode, demolishing trillions of dollars of health care, and imploding society because of failed credit default swaps on all of the health care insurance (even obamacare), which then causes automated trading platforms to sell, killing off everyone's 401K's, destroying the retirement plans of all survivors, such that the living envy the dead.

Can we make that happen?

IoT is retarded.
>Actually, things like voter ID requirements and DMV closings are specifically about putting up barriers to voting for people who do have the right to vote, by making it (in some cases) much harder to meet the requirements to exercise their franchise.

No they aren't. This is nonsense from people who are benefiting from voter fraud.

If only there were a chrome extension to keep from getting shot by the police while unarmed. Or your kid gassed to death by your president.

And what about Delta, the kids they kicked off their flight for not adhering to dress code? Drop those flight results too? Maybe Rainman had it right, Quantas and only Quantas?

What's next, the #PassengerConvenienceMatters movement? And then the conservative response #ALLConvenienceMatters?

Perspective on these stupid incidents, that the passengers signed on to when they bought the tickets is entirely overblown. And pisses me off. </rant>
Hi, For people who want to do this but don't want to code anything, you can use https://www.engagespark.com/twilio-alternative/

* In this case you can do an SMS Poll asking who would like to come.

* If you want to do this a bit more personal, you could use an IVR Poll instead, so they'd hear your voice.

* You can even go further and build some logic, if they replied yes, then you ask them what food choice do they want, no need for interacting with google spreadsheet.

* You can view all this with some pretty graphs and download the spreadsheet with all the information that happened on the engagement.

* Or if you want fancier stuff, do the above, pass the results to Zapier, and manipulate them with any other apps linked into Zapier.

didn't even know that's the case, is zsh affected by this mac os bug?
Really, it was pro vegan people posting the images, not people trying to upset the vegans?

I'm not sure I'll ever understand why people behave the way they do on the internet.
Every local company I've seen in China run themselves to an extent on WeChat.

A group chat for all employees, a group-per-team, ad-hoc groups for ad-hoc teams. It is assumed to be faster (people check more regularly) than email, less formal, more direct. And the boss can see everything (given they're in the group). Great for teams that want to look busy. I dislike it, as looking busy is different from being busy, but this is a large part of the mainland China work-ethic.

For international companies, megacorps in particular, it is not used officially, but still often gets used, with a disturbing amount of client-specific information leaking that the head-office would strictly discipline should they know, but they don't.

To edit: This was always possible before with QQ, and QQ does have phone apps, but QQ didn't have this casual business-use to the extent WeChat does today.
What sockpuppets are downvoting this? Not your typical downvoted HN comment, yet, here it is at the bottom.
In the 70s I was with a company that designed SBCs. They had everything needed to be an Apple - talent, money, expertise. Everything but a Jobs who saw the opportunity.

Hence I'm not a billionaire.

In the years since, over and over and over, hindsight tells me I was in the right place at the right time, but was either too blind to see the opportunity or too chicken to take the risk. It's a running joke in my family.

Ironically, the ventures I have been successful at were all pooh-poohed by everyone when I started them.

If you can get up out of bed in the morning, have a brain that works, and live in a free country - you have all the luck you need to be successful.
I don't have time at the moment to compile all of the sources I've seen indicating that income redistribution harms growth, so I can't provide much substance to support my claim. I'll just say that the decline in wage growth, and the evidence I've seen suggesting redistributionist policies are the culprit, is a Western-wide phenomenon, extending to Canada and Western Europe as well.
Hysterical but not worth mentioning, eh?
It's demonstrably not the madness you suggest it is, he's been doing it for decades and he's still in one piece. You see alternative sports athletes walking away from death defying stunts gone awry on a regular basis. Wiping out is a learned skill, and an under-appreciated one. A rough and tumble youth will save you from needing hip replacement surgery when you slip on an icy step when you're 80.
Especially it should adhere to CSS3 page break properties.
To refine: popular compilers don't do much about poor locality. It's very possible do this but you need the language to permit it and the compiler engineering done. Data optimizations have for some reason received too litlte attention for a long time.

For example, most key-value dictionaries could shave off 50-90% of their memory use if the value ranges and key counts were optimized for, along with unboxing.
To be fair, we're comparing Bell Labs, where almost all researchers are the best in the world, to an average tech company.
> Airlines start offering compensation and travel that is less than what is required under the FAA rule hoping that people who haven't been properly informed about their rights will take the cheap offer. When this doesn't work they slowly raise the offers.

That's way too cynical of an interpretation. If I'm a poor, flexible traveler (and I have been) I'd rather get $200 for myself by volunteering than have a chance at $1350 by waiting to get kicked off.

It's win-win for me and the airline. That's 20h at minimum wage!
I ended up emailing their support and their response included: "We are now working to run a business and we didn't want to build revenue on selling customer data or cluster your experience you with ads. We want to build a business on transparency.

We're finance hackers that see the overwhelming pile of crap that exists in the world of consumer finance and have taken up arms to improve the status quo through better software and better customer experiences; which will lead in our calculations to a financially healthier population. "

Actually pretty convincing, strong stuff

To play devils advocate.. we will never prove if smoking truly cause cancer, unless we go back in time and look at the same person in the same circumstances only that he/she never smoked.

And in all seriousness, my grandmother smoked all her life, from age of 16 all the way till she died at 103 due to Alzheimer. Her lungs were as gold as it gets!
I do not understand your comment, what does the author say that makes him a shallow douche?
> people who are benefiting from voter fraud.

Where is the evidence that this occurs in any meaningful number at all?

If you want to claim someone is benefiting, then you must have some evidence that it even occurs.
Yeah, getting your news from whatever debris viral videos blow up is a modern way of staying informed, and may be the worst one yet invented.
Yup. Like, 10:1 vegan activists to trolls. I had to fight for a "no gory images" policy -- a good third of the members "appreciated" the images.

I don't get it either; I think some people just run on anger. I eventually left the group since it was otherwise poorly run.
I'd like to know if United is a uniquely outsourced airline. I think that is quite possible and if it is, then it lends considerable weight to the likelihood that it is a uniquely bad airline.

This is the kind of problem a company can get into when the people making the key decisions operate in terms of "metrics" that don't track reality well enough. Plus when a lot of the work is done by outsourced vendors, they probably don't pass on unquantifiable bad news.
