My belief, from what I've read, is that in most countries anti-immigrant sentiment correlates with area where there are currently few immigrants. I wonder if that's the same case in Germany?
The essential good effect: it is fair.

Anything else is not, exactly for the reason I described: equal rights and equal burden. Otherwise the state is just a way to implement Marxism: take from the ones who have an give to the ones who need. Robin Hood was a thief.
My neural network isn't working. What should I do?
First we have to define the problem we want to solve before we can discuss whether a potential solution to the problem is likely to succeed or not.

If our problem is "I want to feel good by helping someone to cover their health care costs", Watsi and other charity solutions obviously are viable solutions. (Note that state sponsored health care is also a good solution for this problem, with the downside that somebody else tells you how much you need to pay). So Watsi is a better solution to this problem than state sponsored health care only in the limited case where you have no interest on the outcome of the health care, but only your own feelgood and want to have precise control how much you want to spend to feel good. (If someone senses contempt here to charity givers, the sense is not unfounded)

Second potential problem we are discussing here would be "I want some more people get health care." Of course, here as well, Watsi and other charity programs obviously are a solution to the problem in question.

Third problem might be something in the lines of "I want every member of the society to have access to decent health care so that first, when I drive past hospital, I do not have to look beggars begging money to get their health problems addressed and second, when I get sick, I do not need to worry whether there was some small print in my insurance contract I did not understand"

The third problem is the one where charity based solutions are doomed to failure. There is simply no scenario where I am motivated to pay. One scenario is where there are enough people to pay to solve this without me, so so I can save my money to more important things and enjoy health care benefits. Other scenario is that there are not enough people to pay the beggars out of the street, and my money is not going to change that, so again, I am better spending my money somewhere else. Only path out is that all of us that want to solve the problem and get benefit from the problem [1] solving somehow coerce each other to pay for the solution. I.e. state sponsored health care. Or individual mandate & community rating & subsidies (obamacare).

[1] Note here that everyone gets benefit so everyone must be coerced. If you let people out who claim they enjoy looking beggars, the system collapses again, because obviously I say that I enjoy immensely looking beggars and actually you should pay me if you deprive my enjoyment of looking beggars if you otherwise get the system working without my money. And the ones who actually do enjoy looking beggars, let's just say I am a bad person and more than happy coercing them paying real money to get rid of beggars.
That's the incentive to form unions.
> Even just resizing a Finder window in 2017 on my MacBook lags the cursor in a way that never happened on BeOS

This might in part be because the compositor which syncs screen updates at 60Hz (or whatever your monitor uses) while the mouse cursor is drawn on top of that via the GPU.

It is one of the reasons i really dislike compositors, they make everything feel sluggish. The only exception i know of is XFCE's compositor which has an option to not do any form of vsync so you get immediate updates.

(although TBH i do not use compositors at all since i do not see the point, considering they are mainly used for frilly stuff like translucent windows with shadows that i personally avoid anyway)

Eh, I think it is a sincere attempt at a content piece by a non-native-English engineer and first-time CTO who is perhaps more used to writing IETF RFCs.

It isn't gibberish if you take a moment to ponder what he is actually trying to suggest, viz. that product developers at router manufacturers are quite isolated from customers, and that considerable technical debt has accrued due to monolithic control-plane design, and he'd like to try some modern alternatives to both.

Maybe you don't like the way he expanded the term "DevOps", but I suggest trying to connect with the ideas rather than jumping at the syntax, and I'd hesitate to rubbish quite so energetically the ideas of someone who appears to have spent fifteen years at Juniper mostly working on JUNOS.
> If there had not been publically funded schools it would be much harder or impossible to make compulsory attendance laws.

Sorry I can't see that connection now. Publicly funded schools and publicly operated schools are two entirely different things.

> As there is no public healthcare now it's very hard or impossible to make compulsory medical procedures laws. If health care becomes public - the sky is the limit.

Again. a) The funds and the operation are two different thoigs and b) if you start doing medical procedures on people against their will, you are in some kind of dystopian society.

There is no slippery slope here.
Ugly truth in any western country is the mental health issue. Here in Poland (i'm certain in USA is the same) many homeless people are mentally ill and refuses help in many cases. Also they get aggressive with people. Without those problems it would be much easier to help them.

Depends. I do think I correctly identified the problem with rich people shoving the whole thing ahead to a goal and then optimizing their committment to retain the goal and minimize what they have to pay me: if I work it out in terms of total cash I get one answer, if I work it out in terms of community management I get a different one. My gut's telling me two contrasting stories, and it looks like I get to pick which one I value most.
The average Chinese person did not experience this. In 1997, China was nowhere near where it is now in terms of the average Chinese citizen's exposure to global markets, bubbles, and crashes. Even now, their ability to invest is supremely limited such that real estate is one of the only real investment options, fueling a nasty bubble. One of the people I manage in Shenzhen asked for a raise last year because they lost all their savings in a local stock market crash. Person is about 50 years old. Scams are common. China is not ready.
Good point. But external shadows pose a problem: pixels outside the original bounding box of the element need to be painted, and may overlap with other elements.
Nationalist movements regularly combine widely accepted populist left-wing positions with xenophobic ideas (and proceed to disregard the left-wing ones once in power). I live in Denmark; the Danish People's Party here is also very left-wing on niche social issues and uses that to trick people into voting for them. Trump used this strategy so well that you had followers of Bernie Sanders switching allegiances to vote for him. And of course the original Nazi party adopted many socialist ideas in the beginning, stealing votes from the Social Democrats and Communists.
No, it's because most of these problems solve themselves when there's economic security.
> But there are practically zero people who are involuntarily homeless, for some fuzzy definition of the term involuntary.

For curiosity's sake, how hard would it be to survive a Norwegian winter as a homeless person? Could that impact how much pressure the government feels in solving the problem?

My impression from living in San Francisco is that nobody really wants to solve homelessness. Sure there's a lot of virtue signaling and a lot of volunteering and donating and stuff, but when it comes right down to it, nobody really cares enough to do anything about it. It's just sort of a part of SF culture/charm that it's full of crazy homeless people who shout at their demons in the street and sometimes drop their pants and masturbate or take a dump on Muni.

Everybody shrugs and goes on with their day. Sometimes they update the latest "poop map" app with their sighting or make a "OMG SF is so weird" post on social media.

But would they pay more taxes to build more homeless shelters? To make mental health care available to everyone? To have a livable basic income for the unemployed? Hell no, that's where you've gone too far from virtue signaling towards solving the problem. Wouldn't want that
> "...removing features from your build isn't going to improve the features you keep."

Taken literally, this statement is true, but either deliberately or accidentally, is hiding the reality that removing features can absolutely lead to improvements in remaining features. It reduces overall complexity with fewer points of failure due to less possible interactions. It frees up more time to devote to less features, so quality improves. Less features means improved focus. etc etc.

> "This, and some other sentences, are gibberish. "DEVOPS" is not an operational model."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_model

Quoted from the wiki: "People, process and technology is one commonly used definition,[1] process, organization and technology is another, and [2] Process, Organization and people, Locations and buildings, Information systems, Suppliers and business partners, Management system yet another.[3]"

DEVOPS falls clearly in the Process and Technology areas, as well as overlaps with People and Information Systems. Now one could argue exact relevance, but the OP's assertion that DEVOPS is an operational model is hardly gibberish, as in utterly lacking meaning or relevance.
First of all, let me say I appreciate your response and your work on Homebrew, a great piece of software, and quite a blessing for Mac users.

> No-one else provides anywhere near the same scale for free.

That's a bit naive. Google is not a charity and provides that service by making a profit out of user data.

> We don't send any personally identifiable information to Google. You are tracked by a randomly generated UUID (which you can regenerate at any time) and we tell Google to not store IP addresses.

Even with no IP, Google can easily cross-references searches and the random UUID, since a typical use case is that a user installs something through Homebrew after Googling it.

Please rethink this bad default choice. And sorry if my reply sounds harsh, but I think that Google tracking by default is an extremely bad choice for your users.

There's a distinction to be made between the intrinsic properties of flat design, and how designers interpret it.

I think the vast majority of apps/websites using "flat design" are an insult to what it is really about. Removing elements, simplifying shapes... should be done to increase comprehension and efficiency (i.e. removing noise), not to make something look "clean" or cool.

But France is not a country where medicine is the most "socialized".
For instance, GPs are usually private doctors in France. Then the universal health insurance refunds 70% of the price usually (but it can be less, because doctors can choose their price - it's called "sector", and only ). Then, most French people have a complementary private insurance called "mutuelle" from their job that pays the remaining 30%.
Only long-term illnesses such as cancer are fully reimbursed by the national health insurance.

And yes, even the least paid doctors in France earn much more than the median French salary. Also in France, medical school is not expensive ("socialized" education). It just takes time...

> Who wouldn't want fresh olive oil?

Good idea but I don't think it's that easy: the extraction of olive oil is not a simple matter of pressing olives until the oil comes out, but a long process with multiple steps [1] that I doubt they could been done by a press that is relatively simple as/as big as Juicero (as it can be seen by the cons in the two methods for the extraction that are listed on wiki).

I stumbled on that book a few days ago, but the readers' comments seemed to imply the whole book was a heavy dramatization. Is it, in your opinion ?
I gave two plausible options each explaining the picture. I find both of those explanations more plausible than tons of empty cages. YMMV.

I never said farmers are 'evil' people. Farmers can do good (and if you read my post well you'd have seen my examples), but we live in a capitalist world where profit is an important factor, if not the most important factor. So we need others to force the farmers to keep checks and balances: consumers, NGOs, and the government. Case in point: the fipronil scandal, where ChickFriend was a cheap solution to a problem, and where the government (NVWA) failed to look into an anonymous tip in november 2016. If they did, we'd have a lot less economic damage as well as less potential health damage. Another example is as I explained how Wakker Dier's campaign stimulated the sales of free range eggs of type 2 and 3 (although first and foremost in fresh eggs; not products containing eggs), and how they managed to reduce the amount of 'plofkip' in grocery store.
This story is similar to Theranos

Except that Theanos recklessly endangered the health of many, many people who relied on their faulty test.

It's one thing to provide a massively overpriced juice press combined with a ridiculous subscription model than actually endangering peoples health by willful lying.

I cannot see any other reason for Theranos' conduct and if this world would be only halfway fair their executives would look at it from behind bars.

I doubt many homeless people in the US live in absolute poverty as it's officially defined:

> In 2008, "extreme poverty" widely refers to earning below the international poverty line of $1.25/day (in 2005 prices), set by the World Bank. This measure is the equivalent to earning $1.00 a day in 1996 US prices, hence the widely used expression, living on "less than a dollar a day."[3] The vast majority of those in extreme poverty – 96% – reside in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, The West Indies, East Asia and the Pacific; nearly half live in India and China alone.

Surely most homeless scrounge together at least $1 per day? I bet just begging gets you more than that on average.

Sure that $1 won't get you very far in the US, but it brings you out of absolute poverty and into relative poverty.

Same here in Italy. I waited 8 hours to be visited at ER when I had a foot injury while climbing, but in the meanwhile I saw a lot of way more serious patients to go first.

My daughter broke her nose while playing and she had nose surgery and she had to stay a couple of nights in the hospital.

In both cases everything has been completely free (AKA paid by high taxes). Our current system has a lot of issues, but I wouldn't trade for a more private one. For sure I wouldn't trade it for the american system.
Please don't believe for even a second that your container host can't already extract the cleartext just because the SSL is executed in the container context.

A kernel facility like that certainly makes an attack even more obvious and maybe harder to detect. But if this is a concern you can't use external hosting.

This applies to VMs too, the hypervisor can see and transparently modify everything going on. There is development going on with special CPU instructions that could prevent the hypervisor from reading VM memory, but that is not state of the art and I would not trust it for a long time.

You can't even be really sure that a bare metal server you are renting is not extracting the cleartext via a modified bios/efi, bootloader etc, or modified hardware at the worst.

> Do you mean union leaders or regular members? Because if it's the latter, then you have a counterexample in every 100% unionized company that ever fired anyone

This is an interesting point. In countries with well functioning high organization such as Sweden (but unlike France) the key to the situation is the peace agreement (yes it's literally called that) between unions and employers.

Basically: unions promise to work during the whole contract period.
So when strikes happen, it's when the contracts are renegotiated, which happens e.g. every two years. If the parts can't reach a new agreement, unions go on strike.
Unions don't just strike willy nilly in the middle of the contract period. Employers actually quite like this: it gives them stability and a competitive edge over countries where production might be disrupted by a strike at any point.

Strikes that happen in the middle of a contract period are called "wild strikes" and are usually not sanctioned by unions. These are very rare, compared to e.g. Denmark and France.

The union's power is tremendous when it's actually allowed to use it. For example, it typically blockades everyone from working. Even if a non-union member would want to work, the employer usually doesn't dare letting them. And even if the employer would want to keep operating with other employers, the union usually gets help from all other unions to ensure the employer can't do anything (deliveries don't work, garbage collection doesn't happen etc).
Interesting.

To a relative outsider, a lot of the current movement in the crypto-currency space seems to be about amplifying the holdings of those who already hold. The BCC fork, for instance, effectively gave current bitcoin holders an overnight boost in the 15-20% range.

ICOs appear to be a way to finance things in a kickstartetr type way, only with instantly trade-able coins in the form of a new crypto-currency, with buy-in conducted in ether. These provide a new speculation vehicle, often/usually totally divorced from the underlying activity of the company.

Both of these things neatly skip any sort of bootstrapping phase that might be inherent to a new crypto-currency, and serve insiders and the already crypto-wealthy rather than newcomers or those outside the existing bubble. The whole thing seems very tenuous, and speaks very much of an "in-crowd".
Is this not applicable to non-Americans then? Cause they exist too.
