> It seemed the person I was responding to was belittling those circumstances, in this case.

I disagree, the article still contains no indication of fault on Ubers part - it's entirely that Thomas was finding the job stressful, which may have contributed to his suicide.

Further, if by "circumspect in addressing the circumstances" you mean considering that Uber could be at fault is beside the point - I said the article gives no indication of how Uber is at fault, only the fact of the suicide and the implication of blame.

I think a published article should be more circumspect of pointing the finger like this - Uber may have its day in court, but not before the accusation harms its reputation.
Sounds interesting. I have been looking for a proper mail Server for sending marketing only for a while now.

This part stood out to me in their idea of how philosophy views consciousness

> A traditional answer to this problem
is dualism — that living entities differ from inanimate
ones because they contain some non-physical element
such as an “anima” or “soul”.

I believe this makes it sound like philosophers are actively looking for the soul, or another explanation of consciousness that lies outside of 'physics'.

This might be true for some philosophers, but there are other philosophies to adhere to. More contemporary would be the works of Daniel Dennett or John Searle.

Cartesian Dualism is surely something not a lot of philosophers would get behind anymore.

However, you hardly see any grit/sand on the roads. There's a lot of salt.

Where I live (Finland) we have lots of sand but much less salt. The salt use is diminished to protect the environment, but the sand eats the road, as well as the studs most people use in winter tires.

(Yes, we change to winter tires in the autumn and summer tires in the spring; this seems to be an unknown thing in Britain or France and even a bit of snow produces a mess there. Germans have non-studded winter tires which work fine with the amount of salt.)

There's a difference between looking at the speedo because you're rechecking your speed and feeling pressed into doing it out of fear of being caught speeding 2kph above the limit simply because there's variability. I'm not saying it's hard, I'm saying it's distracting and stressful having to constantly poll and check for an arbitrary number that bears no actual relation to safety (which is the factor that drives anyone's natural speed limit feedback loop). IOW here I'm talking about the psychological effect that induces fear, stress and guilt in the driver, not the technical ability to do it. I believe coercion is not the proper way to educate people into living respectfully together.

I think most of the ideas are presented here: https://github.com/martensson/nixy

In essence there is a wrapper that:

- reads service information and current backend instances out of service catalog (either Marathon or Consul)

- writes nginx configuration

- runs nginx configtest

- tells nginx to reload its configuration

Nixy referenced above takes service information directly from Marathon event stream but I usually have Consul so I use homebaked consul-template + nginx solution.
If you sell your software as SaaS, you need to make sure it is something that your customers use every day. This is a problem when you sell to consumers, because often they will need your software only a few times a year.

I sell a product named MDB Viewer on the Mac App Store, and judging from support emails many of my customers need it just to convert a single database; but they are happy to pay, and they like that they own a license. There's no way I could sell this as a SaaS product.

The article does got not really go into the real issues with Linux gaming and instead just mainly presents some gaming targeting distros. There are only two things that are important:

1. Can you get Steam running?

2. Do you get modern versions of your gpu driver?

Ubuntu is good for both, though you need a PPA to get the current Mesa driver, which is the only choice for AMD gpus (and that driver works great!). Otherwise a rolling release distro like gentoo is actually great for gaming, since you get the current driver, but it takes some effort to get Steam to work (also because of 64-bit vs 32-bit). I needed to delete old steam libs[0], set the LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH for Steam[1] and then, depending on the game, need to re-set the game-specific LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH[2] again.

If Solus integrates Steam automatically and also has current drivers(?), that would make it a good alternative.

[0]: http://www.funtoo.org/Steam#OpenGL_GLX_context_is_not_using_...

> 20/mo as this is cheaper by several magnitudes than the self-hosting option.

exactly this, even the cheapest cloud instances cost around 100$/m, while some might be 20$/m it's just not worth the effort to host your own because it also needs management/maintenance if you do which translates in to hours of work. Yes you can automate these things but it simply not worth it when the only thing you want to do is sent mass emails, without even caring about anything besides configuration to connect to XYZ service.
I recommend ignoring these kinds of people. No good will come from marketing to them.

Yeah, no efficiency curve for that power supply but with 0 fan under 30% and this:

It's probably here nor there, shame about no real curve though. Could be crapola at 10%, who knows.

That's not what your link says, there is a modest aggregate crash cost benefit of RLC systems. It found this by: The economic analysis examined the extent to which the increase in rear end crashes negates the benefits for decreased right-angle crashes.

Rear end crashes cost less than right angle crashes. Further this does not mean there was a lower severity of crashes simply fixing doors costs more.
It is a law everywhere that you must pass on the left. Slower traffic keep right. It is a cultural issue.

The keywords you are looking for are PCI-passthrough, KVM and VT-d. It is possible and performance is as great as it sounds, but it does not work on every hardware. https://scottlinux.com/2016/08/28/gpu-passthrough-with-kvm-a... is a howto.

From personal experience, if you're not jumping straight from no emails to a million an hour, your mail setup is good (SPF/DKIM/etc), you're not reusing a IP address that was sending spam last week (so be wary sending from cloud servers), and you aren't actually sending spam, then you can send from your own infrastructure just fine.

Indeed. Looking at the local accident statistics and investigation reports where I live (Finland), it is easy to see that small breach of speed limit is fairly negligible as a cause for accidents. In some part of accidents it is one contributing factor, but there are quite large groups where speed limits are not relevant at all:

- suicides (somewhere between 10 % and 20 %)
- spontaneous deaths (around 10 % of traffic deaths, driver dies of old age or similar; they are included in statistics even though the accident was not actually cause of death)
- gross negligence (at least 30 %: the driver is severely drunk, does not have a license, the vehicle has not passed inspection and the driver is trying to escape the police at 160 km/h on a 50 km/h zone; sometimes you have all these at the same time!)
- freak observation errors (at a rail crossing, just drive under the train)

I don't have any hard evidence, though a lot of people I know think like this - which is why I wrote the comment.

In many European countries, there actually is a speed limit before almost every sharp turn that's in or near a bigger city, and thus people begin to think like this.
C# specifies the language, not the runtime. Apart from .NET and Mono, you can compile C# to cpp (what Unity does under the hood, btw).

> Also, it would mean I didn't have to use OOP to write games.

There are many instances where other programming paradigms are more usable - but in my experience, gameplay logic, specifically, maps very well onto classic OOP concepts.
From what I'm reading, the 1080ti and 280x both fall right before 250W, so the change shouldn't be significant.
In many European countries, there actually is a speed limit before almost every turn or intersection that's in or near a bigger city, and thus people begin to think like this, which is the point - the speed limit is so overused that people stop thinking for themselves.

The problem of speed limit overuse (recognized even by our officials) is a lot smaller in western Europe, if you got your experience from their roads.
Sitting in the middle lane with adequate speed is fine when there is heavy and/or slower trafic in the right lane. The grandparent talks about sitting in the leftmost lane because it's more convient, rather than sitting in the middle lane and using the left lane when passing.

Personally, mobile apps are worth a lot less to me because basically everything on mobile is an "extra" on top of my normal PC.

> Many of the mail-order brides are actually seeking US citizenship via "green-card marriage", often with an agreement to live together for a set period, and then to divorce after that set period.

That certainly doesn't seem to be what the article describes and it's hard to see why Western men who were strangers to the women would agree to this arrangement unless they were being paid.

Also, having gone through the process of getting a green card for a spouse, I think this would be harder than you're probably imagining.
How exactly is "no need to respond" powerful? Are you getting higher response rate just because of this sentence?
There's often a strange disconnect in these kind of discussions between 'bargaining power' in an abstract economic sense and more real-world understandings of power - for example, it's somewhat of an economics truism that polygyny (multiple wives) improves female bargaining power, but it doesn't necessarily map that well to real-world improvements in female welfare due to all the other societal stuff. Migrating to the US similarly may make that wonderful 'bargaining power' a thing of the past...

For this particular on-line dating case, the old Carnegie Tech saying comes to mind: "The odds are good, but the goods are odd". These mail-order brides may be getting to pick and choose among a wider pool, but it's a pool of guys who are still resorting to this model of meeting a wife...

There is definitely a single right consensus on how to do high performance TLS load balancing (irrelevant of the software):

- Create 1 process per core and pin to a core.

- In extreme cases, pin the NIC interrupt to a dedicated core. (If you have multiple NIC, one dedicated core per NIC).

HAProxy lets you do that very easily. That's why it's configured the way it's configured, because it's the options you need to make a high performance load balancer.

Shared memory is not necessarily and would kill the performances dramatically. The "inconsistencies" you might have heard about mean that the stats in the stats page are approximate, nothing important.
