The actual nature of the product itself is what ultimately matters, of course, and I hear your's is outstanding, so good work.

It's a less-important issue and just a convention, not a law, but normally v1.36.12 tells me "focused on stability and just working--boring but rock-solid", while 2.0.0 tells me "first release of great, new features--amazing but don't put too much weight on it yet". I wouldn't ordinarily think of 2.0.0 as the most-stable version of 1.x with 2.0.1 being the less-stable introduction of the great, new features.

I have no insight into what kinds of planes are normally flown in and out of San Juan, but the plane has to be able to take off/land on the runway in question, the facility has to be able to service (maintain, fuel, provide jetways/stair cars for, etc) the plane, .. you don't (typically) just pick a random plane, fly it into a random place, and fly it out.

I think their financials are already fairly intertwined, to the point where if one fails, they all fail[1]. Part of the outrage over the SolarCity purchase was that people were worried that Musk was just trying to bail out SolarCity (solar was and still is going through a bit of a downturn).

Yes, the article reads like, "we're having trouble because people don't like our shitty movies. Not our fault. We should get rid of RT because then people won't know our movies are shitty until they pay to see them."
Absolutely, you can boot your preferred distribution for running Docker on[1] (using Vagrant even! setting the provider to VirtualBox), forward the port that Docker is running on (2376?) to your physical host/localhost[2], and set a few variables on the client machine to get your docker client talking to that ("remote") docker daemon[3]

Or, as tmzt mentioned, minikube and minishift will also let you set --vm-driver=virtualbox on start. Those are nice even if you don't want to use Kubernetes (but there are plenty of options.)

You're saying Amazon is growing faster than Ford, but they're not growing faster in terms of profitability (even if people perceive that Amazon will be more profitable in the future). Yes Amazon revenue is growing faster than Ford revenue, but is that the metric that matters most?

Maybe, maybe not, it's subjective, only individuals can decide for themselves.
Note that IOTA is a system based on ternary rather than binary, which itself is a WTF.

Then on top of that, the hash function they replaced the broken one with is a wrapping of SHA3 (Keccak) with ternary. So again, they rolled their own crypto, although in a (hopefully!) more minor way.

Unfortunately, doing review is a lot of hard work - I know the people involved and they had to waste time and money talking to lawyers and the like - so it's quite possible we won't find out about the flaws in their "fix" until some hacker exploits them to steal money.

Even relatively small changes to hash functions and using them in non-standard ways often fails to give the security guarantees you expected. For instance, this idea from Russell O'Conner is a good example: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017...

His extremely professional handling of the situation is also a good example!

The model of html/css is not designed for the ground up for modern layout. It was a tool designed for a separate purpose with features hacked on over the years to make it work.

Nowadays a website is no longer just a document. It's an application. Why have html/css the one crude way to make a web application? In the backend we have a constellation of apis, frameworks and languages to build an app, but in the front end it's HTML/CSS/JS. The role JS played is generalized by WebAssembly, it's time to do the same for HTML/CSS.
I'd wager a trivial percentage of the people who refuse to accept climate change would actually (credibly) use any of those reasons. They might parrot them because it's a talking point now, but ask them to explain the problem of p-value misuse.
I'm referring specifically to disk IO, which on linux using standard read(2) and write(2) is (almost) always blocking. What you describe is true of socket fds and some other things, but on most systems a file read/write which goes to a real disk will never return EAGAIN.

This is why systems like aio[1] exist, though afaik most systems tend to solve this with a thread pool rather than aio, which can be very complicated to use properly.

Here: 'But pretending that boycotting Canadian products and instead consuming more coal, fracked shale oil and tanker-shipped crude from corrupt autocratic regimes is somehow an important part of solving the problem just makes you look like you're not paying attention. As does supporting corrupt officials and corporate misbehavior in places like Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Venezuela'

I never said any of what you refute above. Also you set up a false dichotomy by implying that we either choose to use tar sands or are forced to support corrupt regimes - there are of course other alternatives scenarios - I note you avoid mention of LNG.

Bottom line though: tar sands are generally accepted by those that do not have a stake of some kind as being environmentally disastrous, far worse than the alternatives, but I'm guessing that's not in your corporate refutation manual.

Abstract:

Many crypto-currencies, Bitcoin being the most prominent, are reliable electronic
payment systems that operate without a central, trusted authority. They are
enabled by blockchain technology, which deploys cryptographic tools and game theoretic
incentives to create a two-sided platform. Profit maximizing computer servers
called miners provide the infrastructure of the system. Its users can send payments
anonymously and securely. Absent a central authority to control the system, the
paper seeks to understand the operation of the system: How does the system raise
revenue to pay for its infrastructure? How are usage fees determined? How much
infrastructure is deployed?

A simplified economic model that captures the system’s properties answers these
questions. Transaction fees and infrastructure level are determined in an equilibrium
of a congestion queueing game derived from the system’s limited throughput. The
system eliminates dead-weight loss from monopoly, but introduces other inefficiencies
and requires congestion to raise revenue and fund infrastructure. We explore
the future potential of such systems and provide design suggestions.

YMMV, but I found quite a lot of shitty movies to be rated surprisingly high on RT. Based on my experience, high rating doesn't mean a movie will be good, although low rating does translate to a pretty good chance it's poor, so the feature is half useful to me.
You assume that everyman doesn't attempt to read it. Everyman read it for years. The news dumbed everything down when they chased the tabloid dollars.
People who are turned off by Al Gore's name on it aren't going to say "now that the evidence is in, I support reasonable action" if presented with the same thing without it.

In some sort of abstract experiment, where you take hypothetical voter A and show them hypothetical non-partisan movie B, I'm sure it could easily make or break it. But in the real world, where you take Fox News watching, New York Times hating, Rush Limbaugh listening, Republican voter A, and show them "non-partisan" climate change activist movie B, they're going to be told that it's all part of the vast liberal conspiracy before the movie is even available, and they'll hate it no matter what.

When Republicanism has climate change denial as one of its fundamental beliefs, the only way to get people to abandon climate change denial is to get them to abandon Republicanism. And you can't get them to do what without being forced to admit they are actually changing their minds.

I heard from an officer (in my city at least) that part of their training is getting shot by a taser. They even let citizens who join their "explorers program" get shocked by one for the experience (clip on the ends, not shot).
This is correct - it wasn't just that it was too expensive to maintain the client; it split our focus between the client and the API.

So we decided to focus on the API since we have a larger business there and we wanted folks who work at Nylas to be less stressed out.
A taser wont (solely) be used in a lethal force scenario. If someone is threatening an officer with a knife, they counter with their own lethal force.

Officers are always +1 on the force level. If you are combative, they use mace/taser, if you have a knife they use a gun, etc.

The only exception to this is when an officer has backup on scene and they can coordinate enough to allow one or more to provide lethal cover (guns) while the others try to employ less lethal tactics (taser, mace, beanbag shotgun, etc). This way, if those less lethal items dont work (and they dont 30% of the time) they are not scrambling for their gun while a pissed off suspect is charging with a knife.

> A reference implementation of a WIP RFC is rather different from a thing you can download and install and have working right now in a server that isn't likely to change their implementation in a way that makes those features unusable (since they're headline features being sold to enterprises).

That’s why the IRCv3 Working Group isn’t some people in an ivory tower, but actually the implementers – the developers of the largest IRCd implementations, and of all major clients cooperate to design and ship new functionality. This means that basically every client and server has an implementation by the time it ships.

"Consumer behavior is also changing. People increasingly rely on review aggregation sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor to make all kinds of spending decisions. The trend is especially visible among young people, who make up Hollywood’s most important audience."

To the degree that there's an actual trend here, I suspect this is the money quote. Siskel and Ebert did thumbs up and thumbs down but I suspect that relatively few people actually made viewing decisions based on their thumbs.

Now, many people device on many actions based on reviews. And if nothing seems all that hot this weekend? Well, there's always Netflix, Amazon, or iTunes. It's certainly cheaper and many of them have big screen TVs.

This was your original comment in this thread:

"There is such a thing as objective value. Stocks have objective value because they pay dividends. Real estate in warm climates has objective value because it's pleasant to be in a warm place in winter. BMW costs more than a honda civic because it is objectively a better driving experience."

You were claiming that value is determined by the objective features/metrics, now you're saying that "overall value is highly correlated to objective metrics" -- which one is it?

First you say it's objective, now you're saying it's just highly correlated? Those aren't the same things -- if objective metrics were all that mattered, value would be 100% tied to the objective metrics/features, but it's not.

If objective metrics were all that mattered, you could ALWAYS create something bigger, faster, or stronger and have it sell for more than the next best item on the market -- but that's not how it works. There are NUMEROUS example of products which were "objectively" better but failed because people did not perceive their value to be high enough worth purchasing.
Only after I posted that comment did I realize that I was pushing the discussion in this unfortunate direction.

First off, this dead horse has been beaten until it's just a greasy smear on the asphalt.

Secondly, there are similarities and there are differences. Could the same thing happen again the same way? Likely not. Could things go to hell in a handbasket in ways that are somewhat similar, and yet different enough to account for the passage of time, economic and geopolitical differences, etc? Maybe, but there are certain pre-requisites that need to be satisfied first, and it's not clear that that's the case yet, or ever.

The use of demagoguery in politics has not started with Hitler and will not end with Trump. Ancient Greeks and Romans did it occasionally. McCarthy and Huey Long did it too. The examples go on and on, and every such figure has different skills and characters and attributes. One thing to keep in mind is that Hitler was really, really freaking good at it; he's set a very high bar, if that's the right word for it. He makes the others in this category look like amateurs in comparison.

Also, the socio-economic conditions in Germany in early 20th century were pretty spectacularly bad. I'm not saying that everything is just sunshine-and-bunnies now in the world, but there's nothing going on like the triple whammy of global great depression, hyperinflation, and national humiliation after losing a great war, that helped the ascension of Nazism to political hegemony.

Time will tell, as always.

How does harvesting animals cause less suffering, in the real world we live in? The usual answer is "well IF you are friends with your cow/chicken and give it lots of pasture and then you squeeze it for milk occasionally and one day quickly and painlessly end its life, then its humane" but then motte-and-bailey--style that gets used to excuse a diet full of factory-farmed meat and chicken trucks and forcibly-impregnating cows and then seizing and killing their newborns[1], which is the vast vast majority of meat consumption.

That's just one of the counter-narratives. Unlike the "97% narrative", the counter-narratives are not monolithic.

Another counter-narrative says that climate change is happening but the models to date are inaccurate and overblown.

Another counter-narrative says that man-made or not, it's hubris to assume that humans can do something about it.

And yet another counter-narrative acknowledges climate-change but says that the prescriptions for fighting climate change aren't guaranteed to work and will hurt humanity - in that we should spur innovations that continuously adapt to climate change and boost economic prosperity for all mankind while avoiding worldwide austerity controlled by an earth-worshipping misanthropic orthodoxy. (or something like that ;) )

The article didn't mention verbal warnings so I looked for the procedures and found this: https://cbsmiami.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/use-of-force.pd...

It says use of ECD (Taser), as non-lethal force, is warranted to prevent inter alia damage to property, section 4.b.1.b.

It also says verbal warnings should be given when they don't betray a tactical advantage.

Once a warning is given, if you run you're resisting arrest, which is for good reasons a serious crime.
