Let me restate that:
"GPLing Fuschia sends a negative signal to vendors that don't want to release the source for their drivers."

That is fine. Any hardware that is released should come with full source code for its drivers. Vendors that are unwilling to comply, should not be releasing hardware. Since it would be infeasible and restrictive to legally enforce, we can just forbid them to use our popular open source kernels instead.

Please, consider the alternative world you want us to regress to! The present reality is practically utopian, compared to a world where the majority of drivers are proprietary! You want desktop/laptop/server computers to have the same awful, unfixable drivers as Android!? Fuschia will not magically make vendor code any less crap!

And, the "practical problem" here is created by licensing. You said it yourself:

>Fuschia is designed so that driver sources don't need to be available, and we can still upgrade the kernel.

This is a problem of licensing. If we were actually talking about purely technical solutions to purely technical problems, this problem wouldn't even exist. We would never have this bizarre problem of unreproducible binary artifacts sitting on our hardware without the ability to rebuild them.

Here is a thought: Maybe if Google started (threatening to) enforce the GPL against vendors, this would be fixed. Sure, it would also destroy their business relationships. But it would actually fix this security problem, today, immediately.
I was entertained by the 'unbreakable' umbrella vid, I'll admit that. Generally with a normal umbrella they seem to have a pretty high air resistance and are not remotely analogous to a staff. The thing that I carry in real life? No. A heavy enough umbrella with a metal spike in the end? Sure.

Even that being said, a trained staff fighter vs. a knife is at a bigger advantage fighting, forewarned, warmed up, in loose fitting clothes, starting at a dignified distance on a unobstructed gym floor against a rubber knife with both parties wearing protective gear (i.e. "a gym fight"). I would be very surprised if most of that advantage doesn't evaporate when the psychology of fighting an actual knife comes into play, or when the knife fighter and stick fighter start at close quarters or in a cluttered space, etc. "Messy reality". The logic most people apply to this seems pretty much exactly analogous to the confident proclamations that karate and TKD dudes used to issue about being able to defend themselves again, well, anyone from a Judo player to a rugby tackle.

I don't doubt that it's possible to choreograph a pretty nice fantasy sequence where the staff beats a knife, but having tried the "put on old clothes and 'fight' someone wielding a deadly magic marker" game, I'm pretty appalled at how easy it is to be messed up by a determined attacker with a magic marker. And that's without the added element of fear (and pain) that you would experience facing a real knife.

I don't really have a horse in the race here - I don't carry a stick, a deadly unbreakable umbrella or a knife, nor do I plan to attack anyone with one. I'm just always a bit skeptical about the idea of 'trained staff fighters' having developed skills in realistic circumstances as opposed to, say, martial arts LARP'ing. [ all that being said, I wouldn't to be the guy that tried to go after a Dog Brother with a knife of any kind... :-) ]

Marriage is a commitment you engage in voluntarily. If you put yourself in a position where your secretary is more attractive than your wife, you're already pulling back from that commitment.

If you follow through and actually "abandon" your wife, well, that's pretty shitty.

The fact that it happened 9 out of 9 times... Well, that has to indicate something about the corporate culture.

It also appears the CEO valued flirting and seduction (which are great, no denying that) over doing a decent and efficient job. IOW: He was thinking of boning his secretary, not his competition.

This is a cautionary tale for developers that flock to the flavor-of-the-month tech (CoffeeScript used to be all the rage in 2013!), only to find that the mature tech not only caught up but completely eclipsed it in 2017.
Vaccines undergo extremely comprehensive studies before being widely approved for use, there's really not a lot to wonder about.

For example, I think everyone knows about the 2015-2016 Zika virus out-break and what experts believe to be a link to devastating child birth defects. This has clearly become a high priority vaccine candidate... and, we believe we already have one.

It's just that, despite the devastating effects, medical professionals/scientists aren't going to go willy-nilly releasing it to the public without a comprehensive study (ideally multiple of them), for example, the following study which is expected to complete in 2019.

Agreed - CoffeeScript was a great stop gap solution, but with ES6, it seems it's marginal utility is limited.
ES6 has eliminated most (though not all) of the pain Coffeescript solved. I work on a large code base that went from Coffeescript -> Typescript (mostly manual, some decadfeinate), and typesafety has been a huge boon for our developers. For smaller teams/codebases, you might be happy sticking with Coffeescript.

The studies I've seen connect schizophrenia with marijuana use in young people. My friend's episode may be something else; it hasn't recurred despite ongoing occasional use, and she hasn't shown any other signs of schizophrenia that I'd recognize.

> why he couldn't just be assassinated

He could be. Don't you realise how suspicious that is? He apparently didn't present a big enough threat.

There's the martyr factor, and the political difficulty given it's pretty obvious who'd be responsible, but very fancy assassinations have happened. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Alexander_Litvine...)
So let me get this straight: your proposed alternative to Android is just... not having Android at all?
There's a lot of neat things there. (This one looks interesting: https://iadgov.github.io/goSecure/)

Also interesting is splitting the repos: that the NSA and IAD have different repos, and that one seems focused on defensive tech while the other is publishing analysis tools.

I know there's a lot of people who aren't fans of the NSA (or what they do), but I think most of us can see a need for a military-grade organization to research defensive technologies for helping secure our infrastructure. I don't think many of us would be unhappy with the NSA if that's all they did. (Or phrased another way: most of us are unhappy because of how they conduct intel work or compromise defensive capability for offensive ones, eg, that whole business with ECC.)

So I think it's important to respond positively to things like the IAD github page, even if we're not fans in general.
> You can literally go download and compile the entire fuchsia kernel, right now.

Only the kernel Google puts out for the development image. I think the parent meant more in the sense of real devices. It is already quite painful to run custom Android builds from source in real devices, where at least the kernel has copyleft protections. It is quite likely that real hardware running Fuchsia will not come with their sources, since Fuchsia isn't copyleft.
I do this, mainly because “I’ll get a Lyft” can confuse people.
Sarbanes Oxley (the post-Enron law) put a lot of restrictions on what non-auditing services an auditor can provide a client.

FWIW, all your crypto is used by NSA as well.
Well you have to ask for whom. For existing coffee script developers, they can keep using it until they get up to date with ES6. It's a language and it takes time to learn.
> still happily compile Google's entire kernels

Google's, sure. Some vendors make it painful (and in some cases, even impossible) to compile kernels for their devices.

Google is legally obligated to release kernels for their device. With Fuchsia, neither it nor any of the other hardware makers would be. Google might still continue to release their kernels — say, for developer contributions — but other vendors are quite likely to not do so.
I've actually met many programmers who used Emacs but knew zero Lisp of any kind, including Emacs Lisp. They were just happy using the available goods without looking under the hood.

I don't think it's that unusual. Emacs is quite popular. If even 25% of the user base coded in Lisp, it would be ... astonishing.
"insert" does not stipulate prepend or append. The latter two operations are O(1) both for linked and array backed [amortized O(1) for array backed and actually faster due to high constant costs of allocating/releasing/iterating linked structures]
There is an explanation in the article as to why a causative force is not required to obey Newtonian mechanics.

At every moment that the ball is moving, there is indeed an external force due to gravity.
Article is a bit naive about what it takes to run a shared service. Any API that AWS ES exposes has to be there forever, clearly pending_tasks had some risk of leaking internal implementation details that either couldn't be exposed, or that they didn't want customers building a dependency on.

Likewise with the doubling of nodes, this is obviously a blue-green style deployment. In place updates would be quicker but ES can get into all sorts of weird states that require manual debugging to fix, with blue green for most of the deployment you can simply flip back.

I've been pretty impressed with AWS ES compared to running it myself (other than the poor fit of IAM auth)

You can tell that from all the way over there, eh? Anyway, what would it matter if I hadn't? (I have.) The pull quotes from the parent and the content of the grandparent reflect the attitude I'm criticizing perfectly, even if one of them pulled quotes out of context to support it. The attitude is that polite discourse is so nebulous and loose weave that Stephen Fry has no right to categorically state that his detractors are infringing upon common decency. After all, who's to say that his offense is worth any more than theirs?

Well, I will say that. His offense is worth more than theirs. It is possible to say objective things about the way that people are arguing.

As an aside, I didn't suggest anybody go live on an island. That's a deliberately uncharitable reading on your part, I'd say. I'm using that phrase as a rhetorical device to express an idea. The idea is: I wish they could live in the world they're trying to create for a few days so they could live out, in real life, everything that is wrong with their picture of How Things Should Work. My point is that I don't think society could function very well if everybody was paralyzed by an infinite relativistic regress of social concern that "my polite" may not be "your polite". Nobody is literally being told to go live on an island to fuck off, as you seem to be suggesting.
Yeah OWF is kind of OK, we tried to use it but the docs aren't straightforward.
This caught my eye:

> https://github.com/apache/incubator-pirk

> Employing homomorphic encryption techniques, PIR enables datasets to remain resident in their native locations while giving the ability to query the datasets with sensitive terms.

I can imagine a few scenarios there. One perhaps is when db admin should not find out what someone, possibly working on a classified project is querying.

Or say one compartment / project collected the data and now they want to share it with another project. Those read into the second project don't want to reveal to the first one what they are querying because it would reveal classified information.

Another scenario is a database which has results of possibly illegally intercepted communications. If the NSA can argue that the Constitutionally defined "search" doesn't occur until someone actually performs a search (as in runs an SQL query over the data). Then having PIR capability means being able to break the law but only let as few people as possible do it.

Also https://github.com/redhawksdr is pretty damn impressive. It looks like a complete parallel implementation of GNU Radio. Completed with an IDE and such. Wonder how it compares?
Dynamic types, OO with some extension for functional style, inherited Algol syntax with some homegrown innovations, batteries-included design. Where they differ, it's largely in whether they bend towards consistent style(Python) or more late-binding power(Ruby).
Because margins are high, it is an attractive business meaning that competition is high. So it is actually difficult to make money and requires tons of investment in marketing, brand building and distribution.

> How can you compare the potential of a version of you who never had vaccines with a version of you who had a given set of vaccines

These are called identical twin studies, they're inherently limited in capacity and are not an appropriate means of studying vaccines. Vaccines are inherently something widely distributed to the public. Vaccines do have adverse effects on some people, all publicly released vaccines have publicly available figures on the likelihood of adverse effects in a percentage of the population. If the percentage is too high or the types of effects are too severe then the vaccine is not released to the public - this is common sense.

For example I was seemingly affected by a Whooping Cough (Pertussis) vaccine I was administered as a baby. After receiving part of the vaccine (it was administered in doses at the time) I became quite ill and doctors advised against administering the rest of the vaccine. So for many years I was not vaccinated against Whooping Cough but received the rest of my vaccinations without issue - again, should be common sense.

I'm a perfectly healthy adult now and have actually since received a newer/different a Whooping Cough vaccine (I don't believe they still administer the old one), as well as several other vaccinations.

I'm perfectly content with the fact a vaccine may have almost killed me, it's certainly better than the alternative of Whooping Cough running rampant killing more than the 50,000 people it already kills each year.
Someone else already answered it in a previous parent reply.

> You compare populations. Did a group who got the vaccine have more problems than an otherwise identical group that didn't? This requires careful study design and statistical analysis, of course.

The OSHWA requirements for compatible open hardware licenses [1] seem to allow for permissive open source licenses, similar to Apache 2.0. Attribution may or may not be required. Derivative works are required to follow the terms of the original license, but there doesn't seem to be a default requirement "share-alike".

This wasn't the Monty Hall problem, though. The hypothetical interview question would be about putting something simple into words.
I wish it was more clear. There are three main widely available OTC medications that broadly cover main categories such as pain reliever, fever reducer, etc:

Ibuprofen (known colloquially more commonly as Motrin or Advil in the US)

Acetaminophen (also known by chemical name paracetemol outside of the US and brand name Tylenol in US)

Acetylsalicylic acid (also known as Aspirin, was previously a trademark but now a generic name)

I always try to avoid using the brand names in favor of the actual chemical names to dodge ambiguity and confusion (there are other brand names for acetaminophen, acetylsalicylic acid, and ibuprofen over the ones I have listed even in the US), but even then in the case of acetaminophen it cannot be avoided. Further compounding (pun intended?) difficulty is trying to pronounce acetylsalicylic acid to the layman instead of just saying "Aspirin". In the US at least, you can get away with saying ibuprofen vs "Motrin" and acetaminophen vs "Tylenol", but the Aspirin problem is a bit more of a difficult hurdle to overcome in terms of layman's communication.

Slightly tangentially, when referring to airports I even have the same problem. I always try to go by IATA airport code, but those apparently have ambiguities as well: AUS is the IATA airport code for Austin-Bergstrom, but in ICAO terms it's actually known as KAUS, presumably to avoid conflict with other airports outside the US who might also answer to the callsign "AUS"

Seriously, go run an Eve Online player corporation. Try setting up a persistent chat server, wiki, etc. for the corp and securing it. Try managing players in fleets from several time zones and scheduling engagements and operations. This is analogous to setting up collaboration infrastructure for remote teams in development settings, as well as scheduling for international workers, wrangling cats, and you will be fully qualified to wrestle Mongolian Tigers. These players are volunteers, which is synonymous with the real meaning of "employee" held by some of the people you may work with. Loosely held by honor, perhaps loyal based on their relationship with the organization, some are hard workers and motivated, others require a leader or mentor be assigned to them. Once your eyes bleed and you wish for death every night for ever deciding to be in charge, try also making it profitable. Use your knowledge of business practices to balance the corp accounts, make good deals, and save money where you can to be able to pay dividends to members of the corp. If you really want to do a "dry run" to test your mettle, that is one way. I'm not saying this will make you CEO of Intel material but you'll at least have the confidence to proceed and have some idea of what the minefield really looks like so you don't jump on every one.
To those of you who hate R, consider investing 1/2 hour to learn the dplyr package. Dplyr is, in my view, Hadley Wickham's real masterpiece and is why I use R for most data analysis nowadays.

As for ggplot, the 'grammar of graphics' approach makes it intuitive to get started with but I often run into trouble with both the inheritance hierarchy and with getting graphics 'the last mile' to presentation-quality.

The article didn't mention the biggest loser, viz the consumer.

Amazon has already said they want to cut costs. I can't wait until they adopt their typical stocking practices, like they do with so much other stuff they sell. E.g. you'll have normal merchandise commingled on shelves side-by-side with third party supplied garbage. Much like they already do for DVDs and similar items, stocking genuine commingled with counterfeit. But don't worry, it'll all still be "fulfilled by Whole Foods".

That's a little hyperbolic. But I just don't see any positives at all for current Whole Foods customers.

Whole Foods most important asset is their reputation, which IMO is way way way above Amazon's reputation.

How misleading? Pretty much everything available in Java is available directly in the bytecode. Java compiles to bytecode, any JVM based language can use utilize the same bytecode(s).

There is even more: invokeDynamic, Java (the language) doesn't use it in its compiled bytecode and the JVM instruction is targeted at JVM based languages. (InvokeDynamic is still available from Java via java.lang.invoke)
