Farming? Are you mad? It contributes as little as 0.5% of the country's GDP. What other natural resources are being "harvested" to enrich London so much?

The vast majority of London commuters live in Greater London, so its housing is largely provided for by itself. Even if you assumed every human being in the "commuter belt" travelled to London daily, the GLA would still account for ~73% of the population, and this is plainly an absurd assumption.

While London may not contribute as much manufacturing, it still manages ~6% of the UK's manufacturing output. At the same time, just retail in London produces almost as much for the economy as rUK manufacturing.

Your whole thesis is laughable. You seem to be upset that the poorer parts of the nation can trade with London to provide it goods and services. Should you not be upset at the farming, storage and transportation rUK "harvests" from abroad? This dwarfs London's "harvesting" of rUK.

London itself has nothing to do with profits from this trade being unequally distributed. Westminster, sure, but London? No.

Whether a person's guilt has been proven beyond reasonable doubt is a question of fact for the judge or jury deciding a particular case, and not something that can be determined by precedent. But given that people are regularly convicted of historical sex offences based solely on the credible testimony of the victim, it is difficult to imagine that a judge or jury would find a person not guilty of possessing a particular file solely on the basis of the pigeonhole principle.

You mean this:

> Docker images seem to be turning into the universal package format for distribution, CI, orchestration, resource limiting, etc

That isn't a "benefit". That's "some people are using it for some things". The ridiculous part is, the way e.g. CI shops use Docker, goes against the whole point of Docker. They use Docker to provide lightweight VM's which the project build/test/whatever script can run in (which usually involves installing build/test dependencies), when Docker's whole "thing" is one-process per Container.

Why CI shops don't use LXC/LXD for that, is beyond me.

> It seems like you were just goading someone to justify a rant. That's not nice.

Not at all. You mentioned using Docker with Go. I asked why, and you responded "I don't use it in production... but". Which is what my whole point was about.
Of course it depends on lots of factors, but to see the equivalent eye damage, do an image search for “solar retinopathy”. It’s not just theoretical.
You're far too accusatory toward the author here. Various LEA and other parties not associated with law enforcement have vested interests in pursuing this technology anyway. If it was possible, one of them was going to find it. It's very possible that similar discoveries were already made but kept secret.

At least now the rest of the world knows this is possible and can mount a defense if they feel it is necessary.

I see no issue with storing 24/192 multichannel audio like what comes on blu-ray audio discs, or DSD streams. For my current hard drive situation, I could store 5 GB per song and easily have enough space to have a very large catalog. But drive space is only getting cheaper.
PDF vs. physical books
The page count has always been one of the important limiting factors in the publishing industry. The need to compress the material has made an adverse impact on the quality of many textbooks, leading to complaints about the lack of coherency, missing explanations, text being difficult to understand, etc. With the advent of electronic publishing, the situation has changed dramatically, and we now may be in for the pleasure of reading clearly written, extremely detailed expositions of vast and complex topics, such as statistics or modern physics... But this has not happened, and the standard curricula still rely on printed-size books and, hence, the need to be guided by a live teacher, in order for a student to be able to actually understand the material. Talk about the "horseless carriage"...

I don't think indeed is representative.

https://www.cwjobs.co.uk/salary-checker/average-tech-salary

Lists average salary for central London as £77k vs £58k for Manchester — still not 2-3x though. However these figures aren't representative of the actual market.

Due to the UK's peculiar tax laws developers exist here in two classes: the contractors and the permies. A contractor typically makes 1.5-2x the equivalent full-time salary.

There's contractors in both cities but from experience I bet London has a much higher % who are contractors. Furthermore while the median contractor rate within London might only be 20-30% higher than outside, there's a whole market at the top end (the £500-1000/day folk) that doesn't exist or is very rare elsewhere.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, at least in Europe. If you're price sensitive, always check both before booking it.

Some examples: I've booked directly with the place to pay half price for one night in an amazing farm in Iceland; I've got the opposite last time I booked a night in a cheap hotel in Portugal. I usually check the Booking.com price and then check directly with the hotel then "Oh, but I've seen this cheaper in Booking.com", "Yes, please do the reservation via Booking.com then".

There's been this tension over whether achieving apparent human levels of artificial intelligence requires thinking like and following processes associated with human learning and intelligence pretty much forever. Today, computational capability and data have gotten us to a place where there's been a big step forward while largely ignoring how it relates to human-level thought. (After all, we got powered flight by largely ignoring how birds fly.)

In fact, cognitive science largely split off as a separate field but there's a school of thought that algorithms and big data are only going to take things to a certain point and you're not going to get to things like fully autonomous vehicles under general conditions without different approaches that involve better understanding the physical world.
How does one prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that I haven't actually forgotten the password?

Watch out over the next couple of months, and don't rub your eyes if you think they feel like they have sand in them, just go to the doctor. There was a reddit thread about people who damaged eyes after looking at an eclipse, and several of them showed effects later.
I would think it would depend on many factors.

For starters:

1. What the nature of the work is.

2. What the culture of the company is, and if you have adequate help from other folks you work with.

3. How quickly you learn.

That makes it a challenging question to answer, as it seems like a moving target.
Absolutely, I know it's not just a myth. It's just that whether you need eclipse glasses is more nuanced than "always wear them." If you're going to stare at an eclipse for multiple seconds on a cloudless day you're probably going to be in for a world of hurt.

Except that when I went in the other day, the shops and cafes weren't particularly busy, and the car parks and bike racks weren't full.

When it is crowded these days, it seems to be more temporary visitors like tourists and summer school kids than locals. Even the students aren't around as much as they used to be, as some of the university departments that used to be based in the centre have moved a lot of their work to sites further out now.

Eh it is wholly true. Distributed detention schemes still have a finite volume of containment, and once the detention zones are saturated, those areas behave equally to pavement for each additional unit of water. 50 inches of water across the majority of Texas with severe storm surge cannot be practically prepared for beyond insurance, evacuation, and/or a boat. To say “it was avoidable” is a strong and expensive assertion requires some hard backup. Heres an introduction to runoff coefficient (disclaimer! exciting stuff!). Everything is based on a “design storm” with a specified duration and intensity, where those two variables lead to a sigmoid curve (as i recall) for runoff, or the greater the intensity and longer the duration, the less water that gets detained. http://www.brighthubengineering.com/hydraulics-civil-enginee...

I was referring to the submitted article, which gushed all over Gibson and pals - not your attempt at reductio.

For some reason I fail to get the vapors when a bunch of people whose mission it is to incite (and occasionally enact) violence against minorities get punched. In Berkeley, no less.

I might add that Joey Gibson fared a lot better after that encounter than the numerous victims of gaybashing, pogroms, lynching or police brutality have.

A question for you, "What decisions did I make in my life that lead me to defend white supremacists?". No matter how you may try to characterize it, there is nothing noble about that position.
You would think so, but I travel a lot and it's been extremely rare that the price in cash at the hotel is less than Booking.com's price.
I was recently party to a conversation where someone was saying that they couldn't find eclipse glasses in the store, so they had to "look through a Ritz cracker, like they said on the news". I figured they meant use it as a pinhole lens, but they continued saying that the sun was still pretty bright even using the cracker. I didn't want to blow up the spot by clarifying/correcting (and it's not like I could have prevented their eye damage after the fact), but I definitely got the sense they were looking directly through the holes in the cracker. This person is an educated white-collar professional.

This is the best analogy I've seen.

Can you be compelled to labor to help the prosecution?

What if I had a huge stone vault. To get to the inside of it would take the fed 7 years of digging. The crime they have a warrant for has a statute of limitations of 5 years. If I help them dig, they can get there in 4 years. Can they force me to dig with them?
> But if the police found a document written in what looked like gibberish, they couldn't compel you to translate the document to English. In this case, they have executed the warrant, and found an electronic document filled with gibberish.

Out of curiosity, is there any case law establishing this (i.e. a document written in code)? With a document in gibberish, I can't see any reasonable reason to believe that it means something (unless, say, the defendant was suspected for espionage). In this case, however, there is other compelling evidence to believe this drive is encrypted and has data on it. It would be curious to see if something like this has been prosecuted before.
Digital Disruptors
Nice work! To be clear I'm not against dependencies in any way, by all means reuse whatever you can get. I just think that in this particular case using two pretty massive pieces of software like apache and mysql is overkill.
I think you are not seeing the larger picture. I am sure I am not, but I get glimpses of it. Google maps has added a huge amount of functionality, just not for getting from place to place. They had that down for the most part.

Now they have rankings, hours, sometimes details floor plans on almost every business, every park, every location in the world, that is mind blowing!

On top of that they have photos of everything, those photos, can be used to generate 3d maps for the web, VR, MR. Those photos are also used to train AI.

I think they are doing a great job of capitalizing on their position.
I agree that indefinite detention of individuals without charge is dangerous, and I would not advocate for that. However, it's important to understand the precendence that would be set by the case you describe. Assuming that the evidence outside of what's stored on the encrypted hard drive is flimsy, and the charges are dropped, are we then open to the idea of untouchable criminals?

If all it takes to be a criminal that can't be charged for their online behaviour is to encrypt a hard drive, what ramifications does that have for our legal system?
Interesting question. In my opinion, no, they could not obligate you to help dig, because they could get someone else to help with that. If you had a key, however, it might be different?
Didn't mean to imply Indeed was representative (but I can see how my wording suggests so), it was just the first thing I checked. Thanks for the other data points.

And yes, contractors vs non-contractors, finance vs other sectors. This is why detail is useful when talking about salaries.
Yup, it all came down to how long the camera was pointed at the sun. I took a bunch of photos of the eclipse including this HDR shot with a Leica 280mm lens and Sony A7R with no filter whatsoever & without any damage to my lens or camera. The thing is, it took seconds to take and I made sure the camera was only pointed at the sun for brief moments:

Obviously I'm an odd one out – I quite like booking.com. Sure, it'd probably be a bit nicer if it didn't have all the flashing red shit everywhere, but broadly speaking I've found it's pretty useful for locating hotels and getting the details in a consistent manner. I've never had a booking made through it cancelled or anything like that, and the prices haven't been obviously inflated versus those offered booking directly with the hotel.

Obviously it sounds like other have had a worse experience…

What is a good generics/data structures library for C? Glib is one option. But it is supposed to be hard to use. Apache Portable Runtime seems to be another option. I read somewhere that its memory pools were considered to be a bad design and were supposed to be removed in the newer implementation. But the current stable version seems to use them.
