Most censorship in China is done by the private sector. It doesn't come direct from the government. Instead, the government makes it clear that various types of speech are deemed unacceptable, but remains vague about exactly what. For example the PRC likes to crack down on "rumours".

The consequence is that the private sector is a huge and critical part of how China censors information. Actual direct government censorship is relatively limited: it's all based on distributing vague principles to the private sector combined, with punishments for failure to comply. The result is people interpreting the principles in the most aggressive way possible.

In the west, governments have egged on progressive agendas and passed laws that punish various kinds of speech (e.g. "hate speech"). But most of the censorship is done by the private sector, who are trying to interpret vague principles in ways that'll avoid them being targeted for punishment. The fact that in the west the media and various ideological groupings have as much to do with it as a government agenda doesn't change the fact that most of the ensuring censorship is still run and managed by the private sector.

If you are selling your clients those types of guarantees, then you aren't going to be able to rely on a public service with less reliability than your guarantee. Which probably means you are out of luck... I can't imagine it is worth it financially for github or gitlab to pay for too many 9s. Of course, based on your comment, it also sounds like you aren't willing to pay for the type of reliability promises that you are selling, so it seems odd to complain about a free service not doing so.
Thanks. I heard about that. I am not sure how much resigning will help, but it needs to be done.

I said they have 2 issues arise a year (which, by the way, was already counter argued before you joined the thread). I did also compliment 2 other aspects of their business. So to say my "initial comment pans gitlab quite extensively" and "your scorn" is needlessly sensationalising things.

I wonder if they've experimented with image analysis software to categorise the carcass at the slaughterhouse. It's done in Ireland to good effect[1] to grade the carcass to ensure compliance with the European beef grading system (beef and dairy farming is an important industry in Ireland). It doesn't guarantee fraud prevention, but it could increase consumer confidence in beef quality.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. The chucks on hand drills are pretty universally hand tightened. It isn't as though there's a chuck key to tighten it down until the bit screams for mercy :-)

I should probably clarify that you can usually get away with drilling in reverse for a little bit, but if the bit is truly stuck and you start twisting the drill around, you're pretty likely to end up loosening the chuck. Obviously, grabbing by the chuck and trying to twist the bit in reverse is a sure-fire way to loosen the chuck.

Because the crank is geared up, you don't get much torque cranking in reverse, so once you get a bit stuck, it quickly becomes a pain to get it free.

Who is this idiot who keeps getting drill bits stuck, you ask? It's actually pretty easy with some bits. I have a set of DeWalt bits that cuts far too aggressively in softwood. Especially as you're exiting a hole, the cutting edges will feed though without fully clearing the hole, and the remaining wood will engage the flutes and pull the bit in like a screw. This usually also compresses the wood into the flutes as well, and just makes for a real mess.

With an electric drill, you can (if you don't care about the back side of the board) pull backwards on the drill and gun it, and let the edges of the flutes clear (tear out) the bits of wood engaging them. Not really an option with a hand drill.

That will eventually be coming in some form. In the OP link, there was a mention of foreign tables participating in partitioning:
> While foreign tables can be partitions in v10, they are currently subject to an unfortunate limitation: tuple inserts that route to a foreign table will fail, since this feature has not been implemented yet. Etsuro Fujita (NTT) is working to address this limitation by revising code originally written by Amit Langote.

So there is work on getting this to scale on multiple machines, rather than just single machine. We're just not there yet.
I built https://dtmf.io/ using Rust.

Which is all fine and dandy - then use a service that provides the required SLA and pay the price (github business or enterprise, have someone host gitlab for you with the required SLA, ...) or store your data redundantly in gitlab and github at the same time (git can do that) and factor the overhead into the bill. I'm not saying a good uptime is impossible - it's just something that will cost (a lot of) money. Bill accordingly.

All the while keep in mind that the SLA of the source code hosting should not have any impact on the uptime of the service itself. Clients - especially larger ones - as a matter of fact do understand that the SLA on issue tracking, code hosting etc. can differ from the SLA on the app.

Maybe. But in all cases, it can be very very hard to control indeed. Which does not mean you should not try, because it will help you if you do. And the original point is that if you fail at it, better take it in stride than feel extremely bad about it, since it will make things worse.
It seems there are two separate Trump councils:

* Manufacturing council: http://uk.businessinsider.com/trump-manufacturing-council-wh...

* Business advisory council: http://uk.businessinsider.com/who-is-on-trump-business-advis... (older article)

Pepsi, Walmart, IBM and others are on the later. Also, it seems some companies have left quietly, where the individual has left the company and the company has not appointed a new person.
I run a foodtech startup in China - http://infinite-food.com/ - and previously designed a major cryptocurrency exchange.

What's the state of the market? If you read, for example, the last annual general report of Yum! Brands (who run KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and some other chains in China + have EBITDA ~USD$0.5B/year+) they basically say "yeah, supply quality issues happen, but basically we can't prevent them even if we spend up big, so we just do periodic inspections, value win-win long term relationships with suppliers, and have reasonable levels of paranoia". That's the reality... and they have more money and lawyers to throw at the problem than the rest of us.

On the consumer side, they want to know there's low to no pesticide residue on their veggies and that the meat they're eating is free of hormones and is what it's supposed to be, but that's not something Blockchain necessarily has anything to do with as it actually needs a fairly constrictive government or private sector testing regimen which will cost money and (under user pays) will rapidly be ignored and sidestepped by the bulk of the market. The reality is that consumers can buy organic vegetables and imported meat already: they just don't because it costs more.

IMHO then, in the Chinese market this sort of stuff realistically most probably falls in to the 'marketing gimmick to make my brand appear more trustworthy' category ... and is likely quite effective.

It sends a pretty strong message that certain ideologies are not an option for some of the American captains of industry. Trump is rather big on having their attention so them resigning sends a clear signal that if this is the path Trump wants to be on it will be a lonely one. Whether or not that message will be received and how it will be interpreted if it is received is an entirely different matter.

I think this is, at least in part, a perceived thing. GitLab's technical blog posts regularly hit the HN frontpage, while GitHub's issues just seemingly get swiped under the rug, unless it's major, or it's positive news of them introducing new features.

This is not about some general vague problem with "extremism" of which supposedly all sides are guilty.

There is a real chance that real, actual fascists kill many more people and perhaps even gain more political power. We can talk about this without engaging in some false equivalence.

> and you don't pay until you have a job

Some US student loans work this way with income-based repayment. However there are plenty of gotchas: It only applies to federal loans. Many people with large amounts of school loans > $15k-20k/year for 4-5 years can't actually get this much in federal loans, and also only a subset of what they can get has subsidized interest. I'm not sure whether loan interest continues to accrue normally in the period where payments are reduced. I think this depends on the type of federal loan and there are quite a few. Some are completely unsubsidized (i.e., accrue interest while in school).

As stated elsewhere, we are willing and do pay for those services. In fact we moved from self hosting Git (which was free) to a paid hosted solution. So we do currently pay for git hosting and is something I'm happy to continue to do (albeit I have no allegiances with any specific hosting providers).

With regards to your first point. Yes you're right about how it's probably not in Gitlabs interest to pay for too many 9s. Maybe Gitlab initially appeared to have worse availability than their competitors because they're more open with their literature so I read more about Gitlab's problems than their competitors. But reading a bit more on Gitlab I found a document about provisioning Gitlab in HA environments, which addresses some of the points I'd been discussing.

The proper description of that is 'damning with faint praise', of which your comment is an excellent example.

No, I think it is a quite accurate description of your comment. Whether you agree with that or not is up to you, but just take the fact that I read it as such as a datapoint.

Oh, I'm just taking "crazy" literally, rather than how it's meant in the article which is more like "unfeasible" etc. That's also an elephant in the room in a way.

But I agree that China so far seems to have little wish to dominate anyone else. Of course, when you have your population under control so much that they will build any sort of robots in any quantities for you, that might be reconsidered. Hannah Arendt wrote:

> If the totalitarian conqueror conducts himself everywhere as though he were at home, by the same token he must treat his own population as though he were a foreign conqueror.

Maybe this goes the other way, too? I don't know, but when the only thing between your resources is the mercy of organizations that know no mercy, it might.

Of course, the trouble with China is.. "us". "The" West, if you will. We have little moral standing to point fingers, no alternative vision. We have the dictum of the dollar rather than the dictum of the party, but that's not a meaningful enough difference IMO. I'm not saying we're just as totalitarian, but that we're not sufficiently non-totalitarian. China and Russia, for all valid criticism there is to make, are first and foremost awesome scapegoats that keep our side of the machinery humming.
The right ran 200 yards further right. As much as I hate Reagan, that guy wouldn't recognize the current GOP. There are barely any moderate republicans left.

The current GOP is defunding everything from the state department, EPA to education. Meanwhile the democrats (outside of Sanders who's a self-defined independent, and Warren) are afraid to even suggest universal healthcare because it would be too left-leaning.

The democrats are TOO moderate.
I think you're right. I've been doing more reading on Gitlab and their competitors and it seems I'd forgotten about a few incidents with Github and Bitbucket.

I guess it just goes to show that openness is a double edged sword. Though I'm still thankful that businesses like Gitlab do adopt such policies.
