Reunification will have huge costs for South. Also there were already few generations so "family reunion" is not really a motivation anymore.

For elites/high skilled workers/business of North unification is dangerous because they will be useless.
For elites/business of South unification gives access to resources and to mainland, but has cost of humanitarian crisis.

Ideal situation for South - "Korean union" where North is independent and has somewhat democratic and calm government.

It's worth mentioning that Korean democracy is a relatively new phenomenon. For a period of time, South Korea was effectively a military dictatorship. It was only until 1988 that SKorea actually elected a president for the first time. Before that it was just one military coup after another.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Chung-hee

Park Chung-hee is largely credited for creating the "Miracle on the Han River" which led to the current prosperous SKorea we know today. He was also a brutally repressive leader who tortured and killed many of his opponents.

You say we can't tolerate even a single one getting through, but… what would a war look like between Russia and the USA if there were no nukes?

Sure, a conventional war would never be as bad as 7,000 nukes, but one? Seven? Seven hundred? I expect conventional munitions would likely be better targeted, simply out of necessity, so the difference would be smaller than the ratio of TNT-equivalents.

I have an inchoate theory that early moral indoctrination through children's books is basically a way of hardwiring the just-world fallacy into the broader populace such that a minority of individuals who resist this worldview grow up primed to embrace sociopathic realpolitik and advance to positions of power over the majority who accept it at face value.

This is the biggest problem, really. Your three options are:

subscription, which the article lists the problems with;

publishing a new ‘My App 2’ on the store, which is confusing for users and unless your app stores nothing or is entirely cloud based, presents a migration path that is messy at best or;

offer new features as in-app purchases, which, depending on the scale and nature of your app, can be incredibly complex or even impossible to do in a way that makes sense.

I can’t see it being done because it goes agains the ‘simple’ principle of the App Store, but would be nice to be able to separate the concepts of bug/security fixes and featur updates to allow multiple concurrent versions to exist under the same entry.
Maybe you could explain it for us mere mortals.

Look up 'Nexus 5X Bootloop'. I had one before it started doing that. It's a common problem with that phone and it's predecessor, Nexus 5.

Facebook/WhatsApp is a gold mine for the NSA and the CIA (as well as others). I would be surprised if they ever deleted any data when you "update" a field. It seems far more likely that they keep 100% of all data ever entered and just display the latest entry of your "update history".
If one studies history, even casually, one might note that nearly all wars in history have not started as a result of rational actors making optimal decisions in accordance with game theory.

Why, then, do we continue to believe this fallacy -- the fallacy that peace is guaranteed because nobody would be irrational enough to actually start a war?

Wars start through miscommunication, human error, the whims of (usually despotic) leadership, internal crises, and unforeseen Black Swan events that escape our (Gaussian) models. This can be summarized thus: wars frequently start for no real reason at all.

We should be more pragmatic, and look at history instead of borrowing a theory from the dismal science of economics to reassure ourselves, as there are now millions of very real lives at stake. North Korea has become a problem worthy of more rigorous analysis than the pithy comments about MAD.
Nicely spotted! Still, individuals trying (and failing) to "make" it a word doesn't convince me of any significant amount of use.
It says

> It constitutes yet another breach of the universally accepted norm against nuclear testing; a norm that has been respected by all countries but one since 1996.

But

> The Treaty will enter into force once signed and ratified by the remaining eight nuclear technology holder countries: China, Egypt, the DPRK, India, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, and the United States.

So, somehow, the US wants North Korea to respect a treaty that it is, itself, not accepting (though it has "respected" it).

This is exactly what is wrong with our world: The US is playing the police but not the "model". In fact, they are playing a bad model while playing the police in the same time.

Why, the DPRK, (a sovereign country) has to respect this treaty or any other treaty? They are a sovereign country and they have the right to develop whatever technology they please.

Legal concerns: do we really own this code?

If there is code in there that turns out to be copy-pasted from somewhere else, open sourcing makes it more likely that people will find it. That could be expensive (e.g. when some BigCo owns the copyright on code they have been selling for decades) and/or have even more serious consequences (e.g. when there's a GPL-licensed code fragment in there, and they linked it with a part they want to keep commercial)

Answering that question conclusively can be very expensive. They may not have a full history of the code, and if they have, it may not contain all metadata needed.k
You need billions and billions of dollars to keep such project alive. And even then if you cant attract the right amount of interest you are doomed. It is bloody expensive to keep these people employed and i guess oracle is not competent enough to manage these resources. It is sad to see solaris go but this is what was about to happen with any proprietary technology with a limited stream of revenue. I mean i do not think customers cared that much about what they run on as long as their apps and dbs were fine. Since windows and linux are way cheaper it was a matter of time.

> It constitutes yet another breach of the universally accepted norm against nuclear testing; a norm that has been respected by all countries but one since 1996.

I'm chronically heartbroken that I was born too late to attend a nuclear test explosion. No knowledge about the deleterious effects of nuclear testing erases the existential depression that it's a phenomenon I'll never witness.
Louis CK, if we're thinking of the same bit. He makes exactly the point that it's not the magnitude of your material wealth that makes you happy. We think it should, which is why when it does not, comedy can be found. A system which only seems to measure and increase wealth is not going to produce many happy people.
NK hasn't signed a treaty preventing them from testing. If the test ban treaty had teeth, it still wouldn't apply to NK.

Of course NK is acting perfectly rationally, having seen what the US does to countries elsewhere that don't do what the US tells them to. But it's not clear to me why the US needs to control NK. It's the desire for control that drove NK to get nukes.

I'm not apologizing for NK, I think the regime should be toppled tomorrow from a moral perspective; but I don't think an invasion even in the absence of nukes would lead to a good outcome, as we've seen elsewhere good outcomes from moral invasions are scarce on the ground these days.

Right... "connecting to a bunch of existing databases". Does not sound like it's worth 86MUSD to me. But there we go, I guess we just disagree on this point.
You couldn't care less about karma? If you're downvoted it is because your post is downright rude, and full with fallacies: argumentum ad verecundiam (stating your irrelevant age and experience, stating you lived before the internet existed), argumentum ad hominem (calling a random person on the internet whom you don't know a kid), non sequitur (none of what you wrote directly supports your claim).

My explanation about the systemd hate is that it isn't for technical reasons; its cultural ones. Specifically, people dislike change. Especially older people don't want to relearn fundaments which have been reliably stable throughout the years. Young people, OTOH, lack that connection and are more open to change provided they agree with the rationale.
I'm in the same boat. Cut off news, FB years ago, all social media junk. No cable; very little YouTube and haven't been happier. Initially I did all of this because the negative news was getting tiresome and now I feel much better about the world I live in. Occasionally I'll read about NK and other politically charged issues here and on a few subreddits but it's very limited. I don't care that I'm oblivious to the word affairs, I just don't see the point of knowing what happened in Some far off place, especially if it's due to some jackass behavior from a delusional person or group of people.
> In terms of things like on-disk data structures, don't try to second-guess future interfaces by simply adding padding space for a 64-bit time_t or equivalent. The final solution for time handling may not be what you expect and you might just make things worse.

That's pretty unhelpful.

I'll give different advice: store time as leap-second-corrected milliseconds since the standard epoch in a signed 64-bit field. If the Linux maintainers eventually come up with something wacky, write conversion code.

This is the standard format in the Java/JVM world. You might not care about that world, but it at least means this format isn't going away. Any new time convention has to be compatible with this because of the sheer amount of stuff it would break if it wasn't.
But it was already open sourced once before, so much of that work was done already.

“AI” and the human informational centipede
I was at Intel once upon a time when they open sourced some telecom stuff they wanted to get out off. The issues were crazy because of the size of the code base that had accumulated from multiple acquisitions spanning many different divisions in different countries over many years. We couldn't even find people who could tell us what large chunks of the code did or whether they contained anything under patent, trademark etc. It's can be quite expensive and the only reason we did it was there were customers who were willing to pay for the effort.

Ultimately, while the NK situation is unlikely to do anything in that direction, in the long term I don't see any sane counterargument to the notion that either we're going to have some form of a world government with an (enforced) monopoly over nuclear weapons or nuclear war. It's not going to happen any time soon and I think it's likely we're going to have to go (or, rather, try to survive through) another world war to get there, but the usual anti-globalist arguments seem to completely ignore the extent to which the technological developments of the 20th century have irreversibly changed the world.
I fail to see how this applies to deletion. "Stop using services" is significantly different from "deleting all my stuff"
I got a test account banned for a david hockney picture that had a single-brush-stroke ass-crack visible (I wanted to see where they draw the line. For new accounts far earlier than I had expected). They refused to delete the account afterwards, it's just permanently deactivated.

This is another problem. If you think you could do this entirely by human power, you're wrong.

Zoom in on Vancouver, and the trail crossing the water across the Burrard Inlet in a zone where non-motor-powered boats are ILLEGAL (between the two bridges is the port, cruise ship terminals, and a busy float plane airport. No kayaks or paddle boards or sailing allowed.

I agree with the rest of your statement, but I don't agree with this part in the way it is written - the statement is as true as it was 5 years ago. I think NK is trying to get into the nuke club as insurance. I wouldn't base my foreign policy on this, but I fail to see how a nuclear war would be [an advantage for NK's leadership (1)]. I'd assume quite the opposite.

Rather than a direct breach of Amazon, I suspect this has been a successfully credential stuffing attack.

Credential stuffing/washing is taking a dump from a previous breach, such as those listed on 'haveibeenpwned.com', and trying them against a whole host of websites. This often works wonders as people re-use the same password elsewhere.

This is different to what people refer to as 'brute forcing' an account, where they would target one specific account and try multiple passwords. This is easy to pick up and block. However credential stuffing on an individual user level is less obvious. You could look at login attempts per IP, but they often utilise open proxies or Tor to help being detected.

Was your password unique to your Amazon account? And by unique I mean no re-used terms and tweaking just the numbers at the end etc. e.g. hunter2, hunter2017

Nukes will never be given up. World peace, at the macro level, has definitely benefited from their existence. If everyone gave up their nukes, might is right would be the order of the day and we'd be seeing many more major regional wars.

We do need better technology for preventing close calls - institutional technology, communications, information gathering, to prevent misunderstanding. It's the best approach for the world we live in, since we will never live again in a world without nukes.

I guess you'd probably need to use an FPGA to do that. I can't see an advantage to doing this (there might be one, but I can't see it).
> NK hasn't signed a treaty preventing them from testing.

Obviously, and the countries that plan on developing nuclear weapons the old fashioned way (not through computer simulations) are the ones that the treaty would affect the most.

> Of course NK is acting perfectly rationally, having seen what the US does to countries elsewhere that don't do what the US tells them to.

This is definitely part of the problem. Another part is simply prestige.

> But it's not clear to me why the US needs to control NK.

The US doesn't. But the world does and the world needs to exercise such control equally across all countries that do not wish to play nice. Unfortunately that is exactly where the problem lies, we simply do not have a power structure in place that exceeds the largest sovereign nations in power because they provide that power.

And so we're stuck in a pretty hard place.

> It's the desire for control that drove NK to get nukes.

Yes, the fear of every tin pot dictator (I certainly consider Kim Jong-Un to be one of those) is to be deposed by an external power.

> I think the regime should be toppled tomorrow from a moral perspective;

And that is what got us here in the first place.

> but I don't think an invasion even in the absence of nukes would lead to a good outcome, as we've seen elsewhere good outcomes from moral invasions are scarce on the ground these days.

Even if the outcome would be a good one, I find it hard to make the case. Personally I feel NATO should be used as a ratchet only: enforce the status quo unless a country wishes to make a move in a 'good' (subjective, I know) direction. Any kind of border excursions to be ruthlessly dealt with.

In the longer term that might work even if in the shorter term it would lead to some uncomfortable decisions.
Unlike USA, North Korea is a real power and they don't do empty threats. Americans can only cry like babies to Chinese about Korean nuclear weapons, but as a very weak so called "power" they can't do absolutely anything against NK. Go and repeat your afghan "success". You can't even fight weak talibans LOL.
I see a preprocesser as something distinct from a transpiler - a way to extend a language rather than transform it into another one.

This debate is really just about how terms fit a continuum from extension (supported by language constructs) -> preprocesser (add features that can't be supported by host language extensions) -> transpiler (support a totally different but conceptually similar language) -> compiler (conceptual differences from target requiring a more self-standing implementation that tackles fundamental problems).

The separation between the levels of sophistication are fuzzy and matters of degree. A single project might legitimately mature through the stages. For example, I don't object to calling Typescript a compiler once it began to generate code for sophisticated concepts not supported by the underlying language.

>"I would like to see the fall of NK, but seriously you cannot blame the Chinese for supporting NK in the past and mainly for one reason. That reason is that NK is the buffer zone between China and the 30,000 US troops stationed in SK. Heck what about the 40,000+ troops stationed in Japan."

A lot of people forget that the those troops are the very reason Japan, South Korea and many other countries in the region haven't developed nuclear arsenals themselves. The post WWII agreement has essentially been "the US promises to protect its allies and in exchange they limit their military investments and don't pursue nuclear weapons".

As much as China might not like US bases in neighboring countries, it's a lot better than if all of its neighbors had or were in the process of developing nukes. That scenario is a nightmare with too many ways of going horribly wrong.
The thing is it only needs one small problem that you are not able to cover and you're out. A few are lucky and make it for a long time, most aren't. The true sucess comes from being able to handle such kind of problems not from never thinking about them.
I don't. I just want the core components of Linux to be 1.) done by people who have enough experience to know the perils of overengineering and have done some serious software maintenance and debugging themselves 2.) done by project leads who don't think that changes that break things in a major way can be buried somewhere down in the changelogs 3.) done by people who don't react in a jaded way to every piece of criticism, regardless of the tone.

I don't think Linux would have gotten this far if its core wouldn't be influenced by the design principles of Unix and the kernel project wouldn't be run by a person who takes care regarding incompatible changes. Look at ReactOS or Wine. I'm worried that systemd might prove to be a major headache in the future.
I'd like to see more work like this. There are 1001 opinions on code style, but I've seen very little effort to objectively validate which pieces of common advice result in fewer defects.
