I'm married to a first-generation offspring of Chinese parents, a source of regular and scathing remarks on how what is served in the US as "Chinese food" is often a many-generations-removed facsimile thereof.

Three items in particular (Chop Suey, Chow Mein and General Tso Chicken) receive very special ridicule and their appearance on a menu can effectively disqualify any restaurant from further consideration. As the spouse of the above-mentioned I consider it essential that I can avert any incipient noodle deficiency crisis; there are a very few joints - so few I can count them on two fingers - between SFO and San Jose that have received grudging consent and pre-approval for takeout.

(It probably doesn't help that we generally reach SFO or LAX via a layover in HKG or SIN)

Another great one was c2.[1] I've found a lot of really interesting programming-related discussions on there.

There's also Lambda the Ultimate (LtU)[2], which had about the deepest language development related discussions I've seen anywhere.

Yet another interesting one, quite different from the above two and from most anything else out there, was everything2.[3] It was kind of like Wikipedia, but not limited in subject matter to "encyclopedic" entiries, nor to "neutral point of view", so it has a lot of really opinionated, creative, and funny entries. Most people don't know about it, and it's been pretty inactive for many years now, but it does still exist and still has a ton of great content.

There were a lot of good quotes from the article, but this one struck me as particularly apt. I saw something on tumblr today about how "net neutrality" just doesn't resonate with people - and it's true - I tried striking up conversation about this and some people didn't even know what I was talking about.
Motherboard indicates that the parent company is also in trouble.[1] Their "talent booking app" is a long way from release. Employee pay is intermittent. New hires not provided with computers. Employee morale low.

They claim to have a talent booking service now, and it's web-based.[2] There's no big advantage in moving it to an app. There are already at least six other talent booking apps.

Hack for the Sea, Sept 15-17 2017 in Gloucester, MA
The TI graphing calculators have a mode for writing your own programs. Typically this is done using TI-BASIC, but if you prefix the program with the AsmPrgm symbol, it will allow you to directly write Z80 opcodes as hex values. Combined with a TI-provided guide for making bcalls (calls into common routines that have already been written, like changing LCD settings or multiplying floats), it's not too difficult to write a short ASM program by hand.

Funny thing about international food. It's not very international at all.

French food is great ... except in France it's very different (and outside of the center of Paris sucks pretty bad)

Turkish fast food, specifically Kebab, is as far as I know a German invention taken up by Turks, rather than something that historically existed in Turkey. Now you might say shaved roasted meat existed there, and you'd be right, but that existed pretty much anywhere, and was prepared very differently. Shish kabob are sticks with goat meat. Sucks that I can't find the typical bread they serve Kebab in in Western Europe anywhere here in Asia.

Chinese food in Asia is SO much better than Chinese food in Europe. Cheap Chinese food in Hong Kong is edible to great (esp. the vegetarian stuff is nice). Cheap Chinese food in Paris ... you'll be sick for days.

But there's very little French about French cuisine in SE Asia. Their idea of traditional French cooking: a steak, with a fat edge attached to it, medium rare, with "edges" (really thick fries thickly covered in spices). No sauce. Great French food in France: a clean steak (no fat or nerves or sinews), one of a few sauces made with cream, meat juice and pepper, bearnaise. Thinly cut (not mcdonalds thin, but still far thinner) fries, a good portion of mixed salad, and some cooked vegetable preparation.

Trump is bought and paid for by corporations. He may pretend to be POTUS, but all he is doing is serving his own self-interest, which most of the time screws anyone who doesn't make 60k+ a year. All the tax breaks he's proposing would bankrupt our country. Frankly FCC rules are low on my list of fears with this maniac. It's time to impeach already. Every single thing he has done in office has been detrimental to the American people.

The Other Media Bias
> a fresh start might not be the worst outcome.

The article gave the implication of having a locked-down internet reminiscent of China's -- losing net neutrality doesn't necessarily mean losing this centralized, tracking and surveillance tool for mass marketing and spying.

I would love to hear your definition of 'fresh start'.
America’s once-thriving middle class is slowly fading away
I agree this is possible, but the tools are somewhat obscure and slow. You can debootstrap in a chroot and then install packages, but it takes a long time, and likely re-downloads hundreds of megabytes packages you already have on the system.

I don't like Docker, but I think it does some differential compression with the layers when you are modifying the image. So you don't have to re-do this install from scratch.

You may also run into issues with user IDs and various system config files in the chroot. Configuring the service with flags, env vars, and config files is a bit of a pain.

Docker is essentially a glorified chroot... I've essentially tried to rebuild it, and it is unfortunately a lot of work.
It was a tense time, so I can understand why such acts would be flagged (pun not intended).
Michael Ignatieff Fights His Toughest Battle Over Academic Freedom
Yeah, but I don't remember hearing chants of "lock him up" during the election, despite his nearly endless list of unethical and potentially illegal financial transactions. Oh, and let's not forgot about Russia hacking the DNC and giving it WikiLeaks. Little by little, they gave up more to Assange, so that the outrage machine would never die out. Putin threw the democrats into complete chaos, and Sanders didn't do much to help, what with his, "oh it's a rigged election" BS. Trump took that line straight from Bernie: "This election is rigged you know". Pathological liars and unethical monsters should not be running the only real superpower in the world, barring China.
I think it's a parody account, right?

> I'd rather be on a yacht out of touch with reality. We all our preferences; some just are unable to have them

> Just bc I'm rich doesn't mean I don't have problems. In fact I've been devastated about the furniture my decorator chose

> I'm funemloyed, much better than actually being employed. Try it sometime...if you can

Regardless, in general, disliking people just because they're rich seems unhelpful and a quick way to jealously and discontentment. Being angered by wealthy individuals who actively abuse those with less is an entirely different story though.
My hypothesis is that the FBI knows some of its agents are useless, and keeps some busywork lying around to occupy them on slow news days.

I've had passive/aggressive managers saddle me with nonsense before, and sometimes they were just in a mood but if a pattern develops, it's because they can't find a way to fire you.

But, goodness gracious! Toying with people's lives, investigating random nobodies as if they might be criminals, as a side effect of interpersonal difficulties in the workplace? It's more likely than you think.
My personal experience says, that it is not working out. I cannot tell for the whole country, but I do have some insights, since I am hiring and interviewing students and studied in one of the universities mentioned elsewhere in the thread. There is an English speaking Master program, consisting almost entirely of Pakistani and Indian students. Some facts about them:

- They are not required to learn German, so they speak very little to sometimes none at all.
- They can only pick companies where speaking only English is tolerated.
- Since they speak English, they tend to stick to themselves and cannot integrate. Some of them have a hard time even ordering food.
- Indian Bachelor degrees are not comparable to German degrees. I have the feeling that there are some good universities, but others are nowhere near the German standard. Their skill levels are usually lower than these of their German counterparts. It makes sense: I have talked to people, who came from a small village and used a computer in their undergraduate course for the first time.
- When you talk about their plans, it becomes clear, that they aimed for the US or the UK and took Germany only for the price and are often not planning to stay, but to take the next opportunity to board a plane to the US.

At the moment I do not think it makes any economical sense for Germany. I would do the following:

- mandatory German language courses
- mandatory German language knowledge, even for English speaking courses
- much stricter admission standards, individual tests instead of trusting non-EU standards
- better integration with the labor market
- maximum to the number of months you can stay in a dorm (already the case for German students)
- initiatives to form German + foreign flat shares (primary way of living for students in Germany)

At the moment we are just sending the bad students back home and the good students to the US, after they got a free education here.

The local university close by reacted and increased the required GRE test scores to Ivy League level. The admissions dropped by an order of magnitude.

Germany is very social-democratic when it comes to education, so politicians avoid the word "elite", but when it comes to picking talent, you really should not. I think Germany should capitalize on the political climate in other countries and pick quality over quantity. A tax paid university should not be a third-world aid program.
That's one of the main touted benefits of containers (a.k.a build reproducibility). You can view containers as a an overly complicated way to make software with complicated deployment brain-dead easy to deploy.

We're at the point in the hype cycle where it starts getting fashionable to dismiss that as an overkill, but the reality for most of us out there is that most software is way more complicated than a single executable and containers make it easier to deploy complicated software.

Agreed, "archives" would have been a better choice.
Is my memory corrupted, or didn't Facebook also pretend to be reserved for the "elite" in its infancy? I remember several newspaper articles describing Facebook as the "secret" website where "important" people stays in touch with each others, with some celebrity names listed as reputed users.
This. It's exactly why, despite handling tons of payments online, I've never even considered using PayPal.
Archiving the source code as well? And the compilers used? And the source code for the compilers? The hardware itself?

Nemo for example was probably rendered on Silicon Grapics or other NLA systems. If all your software was built for some old MIPS architecture it might be a challenge to get that running again in 2017.

Nanolog: Super Fast Logging for Go
I think you are generally correct but there are also some exceptions. You can get authentic "international" food if you know where to go.

The most authentic and best tasting Vietnamese restaurant in my area is also incidentally the least successful one because they don't know how to cater effectively American tastes.

There is a menu for the Americans and a secret one for Vietnamese people. The Vietnamese one has the really authentic stuff (coagulated pork blood, pork and chicken with bones, REALLY spicy dishes) etc.

The other two Vietnamese restaurants in town do a lot more business (nice decor, lighting, menu, everything is somewhat Americanized etc.) but they get lazy and put the wrong kind of broths in different soups because only Vietnamese people will notice.

Anyway, the best way I've found to get "authentic" food in the US is to try to find an urban center with a LOT of one kind of ethnic population and then just go wherever they go.
A TCP connection is identified by the tuple of (source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port), therefore whenever one side's IP changes (the effect of roaming), the connection has to be re-established.

Mosh is built on UDP, where there are no "connections" and the wire protocol is stateless, so when the client IP changes, that endpoint simply transmits some "session cookie" information to the server, which allows it to carry on, uninterrupted.

HTTP runs over TCP, so it cannot roam like mosh does. QUIC (Google's experimental HTTP/2, TLS, and UDP integration) is interesting in part for this reason.
I couldn't care less.
This is something I've never understood — why can't those trains operate with fewer coaches, perhaps all the way down to one, in rural areas, or at off-peak times (for metros)?

Right, everyone pays someone for access to 'the Internet' and of course you can pay more for higher bandwidth. The issue is that last mile ISPs realized that they can make people who do business with residential customers pay them in addition by artificially restricting access to their services.
I also use Vibrams for running, hiking, and normal daily activities. Some in the biomechanics field swear by them. I just like how they feel and look. It seems logical to keep a shoe as close to barefoot as possible since the foot evolved without any of our modern sole/shoe tech.

Maybe because it's cheaper? For example, I don't think India can afford to simultaneously build metro systems that cover all cities, and cover a good enough area of each city. Or, if we can afford it, the govt wouldn't consider spending $100 billion+ the best use of the money. Bus is much more doable.
My dad's a Chinese immigrant, and I've been to China and had Chinese food there.

There are two types of Chinese food you can get in America (well, more given all the regional variations, but I'm making a point...). If you went to a strip mall, walked into a P.F. Chang's, and had General Tso's Chicken, that's not Chinese food. But if you walked into an unmarked doorway in Chinatown, walked down a flight of stairs to a very dingy basement, held up a few fingers to tell the hostess how many people were in your party, and then ordered off a menu where nothing was in English and everything either had tendons or organ meat - you're probably getting something pretty close to what you would get in China.

You can get the latter experience in most major metropolitan areas in the U.S. and Canada, but you have to know where to look. Restaurants like that don't send out coupons with the normal advertising circular - basically anything that advertises in an English-language publication is American Chinese food.

Vice is owned by News Corp, which also brings us Fox News. To me, it looks like a generational hedge against declining cable viewership by a company that is very much opposed to what Vice supposedly represents.

Also, I've met a ton of people that say that the pay is terrible, work conditions are awful, and everyone just accepts it because it's a good resume builder. It's also declined in quality a lot since the acquisition - compare old "Vice Kills" episodes with the dreck on HBO.

I've had similar bad experiences with venmo. Apparently I had created an account a couple years ago that I forgot about so I created a new one to receive a payment from a friend. A day after I received the money and had it set to transfer to my bank account they closed both of my accounts citing some rule in their terms of service saying one account per lifetime. And now I can't ever have another venmo account. That $500 also never got to me and never got returned to the sender. Just overall a scam of a company.
