Many many years ago I was on the team that managed the compute cluster for the CMS detector at the LHC (Fermilab Tier-1).

When we would perform a rolling reinstall of the entire worker cluster (~5500 1U pizza box servers), we would use a custom installer that would utilize Bittorrent to retrieve the necessary RPMs (Scientific Linux) instead of HTTP; the more workers reinstalling at once, the faster each worker would reinstall (I hand wave away the complexities of job management for this discussion).

I'm not super familiar with IPFS (I've only played with it a bit to see if I could use it to backup the Internet Archive in a distributed manner), but I'm fairly confident based on my limited trials that yes, you could build a Debian installer CD to fetch the required packages from an IPFS mirror. No need to even have the file index locally. You simply need a known source of the file index to retrieve, and the ability to retrieve it securely.

But the continuation of the human "species" as a single entity would then assume/require class miscegenation to re-constrain the DNA from the in vitro-grown humans every few generations.

Otherwise, you'd now have two diverging human species, who might eventually not even be able to interbreed.

The 60 billion valuation means that there was an investor who was willing to put their money where their mouth is and trade X billion dollars for Y number of shares under certain terms.

But the specifics of that term sheet matter a lot.

For example, if that investor has "ratchets" or preferred shares in their term sheet, it means that they get their money before anyone else does.

Kind of like if a bank gave you a loan, but put a 100% interest rate on it.
You seem to be asserting the government is the only institution wholely capable of, is effective at, or even interested in verifying a person's credentials.
This is very specifically a tactic used in Russia to exploit control over policing powers into corrupt control or exploitation of businesses. They make byzantine laws that are extraordinarily difficult to comply with, then provide unofficial licenses to ignore those laws to those who remain in their favor. (And even if you did manage to comply with the laws, your corrupt competitors don't, and will out-compete you).

I remember reading a story of a multi-billion dollar corporation in Russia being sold for pennies on the dollar, essentially at gunpoint. Otherwise, they'd prosecute it for being run illegally, since essentially all corporations are run illegally, because that's how Russia's legal system is set up.

Understood - I read those exceptions and his attempt to use them. Obviously neither exception applies; but it's the fact that the definition of engineering in ORS 672.005(b)[0] is so broad is worrying. Saying that I can do some math and create a nice graph for my neighbor, but not post it on imgur without a fine, is a step too far for my taste.

But after he first contacted them, they gave him a warning not to do that, and an explanation of why, and he agreed to abide by this. There was no fine and no punishment was inflicted on anyone.

But instead of pitching his idea as a simple concerned resident he went back to claiming to be an engineer a couple of months later. That's not a mistake because the issue had already been clearly explained to him. He's not a victim.
Thank you for trying to solve this. But how do you handle the problem of knowing the actual state of the car? If you have some new inventive way you should publicize it more.
Entrepreneurship and Depression
That's not the meaning behind the word "volunteering".
Whatever the personal aspect, Hikikomori-ism is a disease you only get if those you live with believe that it's a thing, and thus see some reason to support you in living that way. That support is a uniquely Japanese-cultural phenomenon.

Either way, the same number probably have severe depression and end up with an episode of agoraphobia; but in the rest of the world, the agoraphobia tends to go away with constant doses of the exposure therapy known as "your family and friends dragging you outside."

EDIT: to clarify, the depression doesn't go away (if only life was that easy.) But exposure therapy (i.e. "facing your fear"—usually in a safe, low-stakes context, in short bursts) is how you treat phobias. Going outside is the "actual treatment for" agoraphobia. And in the rest of the world, people just automatically try to apply that treatment to agoraphobic people: they take them out (whether they like it or not—not usually through coercion per se, but through anxiety to conform to social etiquette.)

From speaking to a psychiatry-student friend who did a rotation in a Japanese hospital (not the best primary source, but it's what I've got), my understanding is that in Japan, mental illness is something covered up by family: if you decide to shut yourself in your room, your family will both actively prevent anyone from knowing you're doing this, and actively prevent anyone from trying to see you. Because, in seeing you, they'd find out about the shameful situation your family is dealing with. Which prevents the whole intuitive-exposure-therapy bit from happening.
The webserver could have been compromised causing plaintexts for login attempts to be exposed as well. In fact, that is a very plausible explanation for how the database was accessed since it is usually firewalled off.
The context for things like Linkerd or Hystrix is server infrastructures that are made of multiple services. For instance you may be working on a public facing service that exposes a search functionality, and your downstream services could be things like the authentication service, the search service, and the logging service.

Let's say you have authenticated a request and need to submit it to the search service. Instead of opening a socket to a particular IP address, you use the service mesh to send the request to 'service=search' on your behalf. The service mesh keeps an up-to-date list of instances that implement the search service in the background, picks one of them to send the request to and gives you the response.

In addition to managing the pool of servers, it can do a few fancy things:

* have connections primed and ready to go before you had to make the request

* balance the load between instances, potentially based on their latencies and error rates

* handle timeouts and retries against different instances

* fail requests without making the remote call if the error rate of the downstream service is too high (circuit breaking)

* expose metrics about request volume, error rates and latencies
The H word is such a lazy excuse. Techies overestimate how much the common folk give a shit about getting hacked. 99% of the population are not celebrities.

I know a bank that purposely reduce their Internet banking security. To cater for specific elderly customers who constantly forget their password. They are not going to force their customers to walk into the bank everytime.

These accounts are at a risk of getting hacked. It's called a tradeoff. As a bank, do you want customers or not? Do you like money or not?

As for the Yahoo situation. If they gave a shit about customer service: they can accept copies of drivers licence/passport signed off by a justice of peace.

"Sharia" is just religious law. It is not particularly a unique feature to Islam, though religious law and religious courts have declined in the West over the last few centuries and now mostly are confined to dealing with members of their own religion, and usually lack the backing of the State or State-like power (though that's not universally the case, and is more a regional diffference that correlates with religion than a religious difference.)

"Jihad" has a close parallel in "Crusade", in both the violent and non-violent senses each term has within their respective religious communities.

I'll give you caliphate as somewhat unique, and at least without a close parallel in mainstream modern Christianity.

The tech market exists.

The "can you lift 50 pounds" thing is so that you can't usefully sue them when they ask you to move your own PC or monitor. Especially at a non-union job site, the nearest available person tends to do that kind of task. Nobody wants to have to schedule a union-approved object-lifter person to show up.

Just a bit to the southeast of you, the tech job market is booming. It sort of focuses on the MLB airport, with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, but there are others too. The area has Thales, Raytheon, Harris, and numerous cyberwar startups. Obviously, you do need to enjoy designing things that cause destruction, and it is mighty hard to pass the background checks if you have foreign relatives.

If that sounds appealing to you and you can do low-level hacking (you won't freak out over assembly language), send a note to acahalan at gmail.

Paragraph 14[0] clearly states violations as a consequence of ORS 672.007(1)(c)[1] using the definition in ORS 672.005(1)(b)[2]:

"by [critiquing an engineering formula] and submitting the critique [...] to members of the public" [...he...] thereby engaged in the practice of engineering [...] specifically, traffic engineering [...and thus] violated ORS 672.020(1), 672.045(1) and OAR 820-010-0730(3)(c)".

I agree his affirmative defenses are inadequate, but I'm not taking issue with the analysis of his defense. I simply am pointing out the justification used in Paragraph 14 is concerning. ORS672.005(1)(b) is way too broad.

Between the two of us, you're not the first one to want to push their child toward something at age seven. For me that was about a decade ago. What I know now is that in a decade your child will still be a child and in that intervening decade they will have many interests and pretty much all of them will pass. Of the few of them that stick, maybe one or two will be constant and the rest that stick will come back occasionally for brief periods and then disappear for a few years.

In terms of occupations, who knows what programming will be like in fifteen years? In 2002, most people would not have expected pair programming and two pizza teams or Github's social coding to be mainstream methodologies.
Ah of course, you need the names to specify types, that makes sense. And by the same no-ambiguities token, presumably repeated names in an object would be rejected by the parser.
Okay, so early investors have some influence on valuation, based on how much risk they appear to be taking? So a high valuation helps attract new investors to dilute the risk of the early crowd?

Sounds like that might result in some inflation. I guess I could look at eventual IPO events, but that's judging the herd by the leaders.

Working in an organization beneficial for the world while doing a job you enjoy makes it easy to work for long hours and little wages.

But if organization acts immorally and increases profit through unethical methods, it drains motivation and makes employees a lot less inclined to put effort into 9-5 jobs.

Nonsense. http is exactly like anonymous ftp and it does a much better job of it. Pretty much every anonymous ftp site started also serving their files via http decades ago -- which is why ftp is no longer needed.

Case in point: Debian makes all these files available over http. This isn't going away.

I'm not sure of the cause, but it's a common observation in nursing homes that old people prefer stuffy air. (Not warm air; just, stuffy. High-CO2-sat air.)

Given that old people also have more random aches and pains, I wonder whether that's just an instance of confirmation bias (you're old, you ache, and you want to shut the windows, so you think it's the breeze making you ache) or whether it's actually something causal (e.g. decreasing oxygen quality has an analgesic effect on the sort of inflammatory joint pains you get as you age?)

You are writing a letter that purports to be written by a lawyer; you are pretending to be a lawyer that happens to have a different name than your actual name. That is both pretending to be a lawyer, and pretending other false things.

Consider if you change the communication medium from written to oral: if walk up to someone and claim a different name than is actually yours, claim to be a lawyer representing someone else (who you identify with your actual name), and then issue some demands, etc., it's pretty clear that you are claiming to be a lawyer. Changing the medium from oral communication to written doesn't change the essence at all.

To clear some confusion - they did not grow this lamb in the bag starting from conception.

The major limiting factor as to when it can be transferred to the bag is when the umbilical vessels are large enough to safely and efficiently cannulate. Oxygenation, nutrient delivery and waste removal are all done via the umbilical vessels through external devices.

The biggest road block in growing a baby in a bag fully ex utero would be the period before when the umbilical vessels are accessible. Before this time in utero, local mommy angiogenesis in the wall of the placenta serves the role of the umbilical vessels. Replicating this ex utero is a completely different problem.

Google's marketing claims are extraordinary by running careful, incremental, roll out trials? What company is shipping 'Autopilot' software to drivers today that has actually killed someone, doesn't function in less than perfect highway conditions, whose own fine print says basically not to use it as its name implies, and has numerous calls for it to be disabled?

What does it mean "cars are capable of functioning <in an area>"? What does "Functioning" mean?
Tesla Autopilot don't function off highways, and barely function on highways. So you think someone should get credit for functioning at scale everywhere, if they ship a consumer product with no restrictions, but it fails badly when people actually try it? You're comparing a broken product to one that purportedly works, but you think it's smoke and mirrors?

I love Tesla cars and I plan to buy a P90D, but in my opinion, their whole self driving program is incredibly reckless. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQxIhMBKblY) Waymo's approach is careful, over engineered, defense-in-depth. Slow by Silicon Valley standards, but you're dealing with public safety. Yes, they use maps as one of their sources of truth, they'd be reckless not to, but they also use LIDAR and vision systems with machine learning, because of course, no map can be real time.

Tesla is trying to sell an upgraded lane-keeping system as a self driving system. Maybe you should be more concerned about that.

I can only say what is public already, but you can look at the disengagements data to see Waymo cars are three orders of magnitude better than their competitors.

If consciousness is a physical thing, how can you be so convinced that it is impossible to talk about it in physical terms? Couldn't the difficulty be due to a deficiency in our current explanatory power, as opposed to something more fundamental? What evidence do you have to support that biological talk (about consciousness, or otherwise) is necessarily irreducible to physical talk?

These questions are very interesting and very hard, and dismissing honest attempts to grapple with them rigorously, wrong as they may turn out to be, seems rash to me.
The general answer to "why can't I modify my own OS installation?" is "if you could, so could malware authors".
Basically, people:

• Design a set of re-usable components in Sketch that get turned into JavaScript widgets and used in a product

• The JavaScript widgets are are modified, extended, and changed. Maybe a line here, a color here. Designers now sometimes have component designs don’t quite match what they look like in the wild

• This tool now lets them re-create the Sketch file from the components as the look in the wild. That means when designers work on whole pages, made up of widgets, they’ll look exactly like they would in the wild.

But your argument only makes sense if we forget about the fact that he knowingly made a false claim to be 'an engineer' after the inappropriateness of that had been explained to him.

You could be right if that false claim hadn't happened. But it did, and everything subsequent has to be evaluated within that context. Think of the difference between global and local variables, and the sort of bugs you get if you ignore scope rules (I'm guessing you're a coder, ignore if that's not the case).
