>I think "fighting words" is still a real thing in this sense: If I go into a bar, and say the wrong thing about someone's mother, the law is not going to be surprised that they throw a punch at me.

You're incredibly mistaken, and if you act on this misinformation, you're going to find yourself in prison for assault and battery. The "fighting words" doctrine has been repeatedly narrowed over time by subsequent decisions (and may not even exist anymore), and never excused any violence in the first place. It was an exception to free speech, not the provisions in the criminal code that prohibit violence.

so how much does this contribute to global warming? no, seriously, how much does temp actually rise and can an equilibrium temp be predicted? Roughly how much of the energy can be accommodated by phase change of the oceans into gas? Once the increased vapor content in the air is calculated, then a predicted greenhouse event can be calculated.

Let's not let this devolve into a db war. This submission is about PostgreSQL 10. Your parent expresses how easy it is for them to get PostgreSQL up and running in their environment—no comparison saying that others are bad (edit: though they did have some difficulty in the past). It's great that you've got a good solution that works for you! And I'm sure there are other ways of doing this as well for other dbs. If you have experience with PostgreSQL and SQL Server features that you'd like to compare that are relevant to these PostgreSQL release notes, please do share them constructively. I'm sure there are people that would be interested in hearing about them.

This is true. We don't know if they got all of the records. Reports of "143 million Americans impacted" would seem to indicate that it was roughly everyone with a credit file.

But that is just a headline/byline, and we don't know until the hackers dump it and divest of whatever they got, and the data (honestly, I say hopefully) winds up as public information so we can all know exactly how bad it is.

That strikes me as being comparable only at the most superficial level. I started that SQL Server container and it's using 825mb of RAM (according to systemd-cgtop), just sitting there idle with no data in it. I started a Postgres 9.6 container also using their official Docker container and it's sitting idle at 58mb of RAM.

Insult to injury, if you're using Docker in a VM (as you must on a Mac) the instructions on that Docker Hub page say you need a minimum of 3.25GB RAM dedicated to the VM. That's quite a heavy lift if all you want is a database instance for local development.

And then sure, you could run SQL Server on Linux for your production instances, but you're well off the beaten path. You're going to have to roll your own infrastructure rather than relying on AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Heroku, etc etc. And the moment you have a performance problem the first advice you'll hear seems likely to be "try it on Windows and see if it reproduces there".

Seriously, what were they thinking? Even the most charitable light isn't enough for this to make sense.
What's missing from your claim is any justification for it all. You're just claiming, on zero authority, that it's not possible. So enlighten us.

Why do you think it's impossible to encode the mechanics of a pension in a smart contract-based system?
Ah, I probably should have used a TL;DR tag - my original comment is just a really condensed summary of the awesome but super detailed article, which even shows and explains the Struts code in question, example requests and responses, stack traces from the exception, and the exception logs. Even in the comments are some logs that look like evidence of an actual in-the-wild RCE attempt!

So maybe check there for more explanation... all credit for the research and investigation goes to the article's author. It was really a good 'deep dive' into the internals of Struts to see how such a subtle bug could be turned into RCE.
Sleep is not just "reduced" cognition, it is an entirely different state all together. In sleep thalamus becomes a gatekeeper that makes sure that stimuli cannot get through (although the important ones still do, like a baby cry will nearly always awaken a mother, even a faint cry will do). So, again, it is more radical than "quiet wakefulness" due to exhaustion.

Now, with "lower" animals it gets tricky, because all we have is a behavioral definition of sleep. But still, it makes a distinction of reduced awareness, arousal latency. Can we call it "sleep" in these animals, jellies included? Maybe not, maybe it is some sort of proto-sleep state?
I can't wait till the Go team starts giving these packages more love from the performance perspective. Now that the compiler has an SSA backend we might start seeing more SIMD and other optimizations, but it's still a ways to go before performance is comparable to bare C libraries for heavy computation and tight inner loops.

I'm not the one who downvoted, but back when I ran a large critical Mongo setup, essentially the core flag to set when running was 'safe=true' on mongoD. That was it. We had 30~ instances set up with sharding and replication, doing many thousands of operations per second at peak during the day. It was a great tool then, and I'm sure it's even better now. It was just fun to hate on it so people with 0 experience using it joined in.

In practice hardly anyone believes people who work a full week should have a decent standard of living. If people actually believed that, then no one would purchase goods manufactured in Mexico, China, etc. Instead, it's more accurate to say that people don't want the inconvenience of actually seeing poor people.
Where's the db war? The comment was implying that MSSQL wasnt as easy to install and I offered advice for the latest version. Neither database is really production ready with a 1 line install but it seems you're finding conflict that doesnt exist.
Right. And keep in mind that Chinese GDP per capita is about one fifth of the U.S. If everything in China were up to US standards Chinese GDP would be 3 times that of US.

This is a bit outside my area of expertise. Not sure about the best way to do the automated promotion process, but looking through these docs there's mention of a change to libpq that allows you to specify all the potential hosts and then have it only connect to whichever one is accepting writes (target_session_attrs).

Edit to add: I'm also interested to hear the approaches people use here. Today we've been setting up WAL-E to run our db backups so we're in that headspace. I'd actually like to decommission my main db server and provision another one to take its place. Getting the new one up and running from the wal-e archives is easy enough, the switch-over is a little more complex.
I'm confident I understand the intent and implications of the open letter I've cited. People can decide for themselves how persuasive they think either of us are here.

Please stop pretending there are gender discrimination issues on places there is none... It only takes relevance from real gender discrimination cases.

The title displayed for the article on facebook is even worse "A Smart Breast Pump: Mothers Love It. VCs Don’t"

This company is not struggling because evil VCs are not willing to fund companies run by women that offer products for women as the article wants to portray it...

It is struggling because it wants to sell a product that provides 0.3 more efficiency and 0.2 more speed at 4 times the cost of the alternatives!

Not to mention the fact that the company DID get $6.5M on funding! If it is struggling at this point is more likely due to market fitment issues or mismanagement issues.

So, please get real....

The owner is just playing the gender discrimination card to milk (not pun intended) some attention from the media towards the kickstarter campaign....

No reputable news source has said anything other than "potentially affected" as far as I know.

I agree.

If Go was to become big in the scientific programming community, it would need generics eventually.

One interesting thing that NumPy demonstrates is that such things are capable of becoming popular enough that they essentially become their own sub-language. One option in that case, if GoNum collected enough of a community, is to fork Go and add generics. There are some complicated generics options that would be difficult to use, but there's some simpler options that would work, and arguably "generics via templated code generation" is pretty much what you'd want for this use case anyhow since it gives the optimizers the most to work with. Said fork might also add some custom optimizations for this use case. I wouldn't want to deviate too far from core Go because I'd like to be able to keep pulling from that code base if at all possible, but some judicious work here might be a net positive.
If you're not using illegally obtained funds to acquire coins, who cares if they get you "on the record"? This is only relevant if you want to evade capital gains tax at some point, which would be illegal anyway.
There are quite a few better options for trustworthy databases. One is my employer, MarkLogic, which is an ACID compliant NoSQL document db with a lot more indexing capabilities.

Especially if you’re using the search tools to retrieve data, I think a properly indexed MarkLogic would be quite a bit faster, and still more reliable.
I'd be more inclined to blame the reduction in violent crime in NYC on it's staggering large and well-equipped police force. If a criminal really wanted a gun in NYC, they probably aren't going to obtain one legally so making them harder to get only creates a minor inconvenience.
Last year (through Jan '17) spent (very simplified):

$29.9M on Cost of Revenue (hosting fees + the people who run things + support/consultants)
$78.6M on Sales & Marketing (sales people)
$51.7M on Research & Development (programmers)
$27.1M on General & Administrative (managers/executives/HR)

This was spread across ~820 (as of July) employees. Hosting + Rent + Employees = $188M. Basically they spend $229k per employee which works out to very roughly: ~43% Tech, ~42% Sales, ~15% Management

By comparison, Cloudera is quite similar: 42% on Tech, 45% on Sales, 13% on Management. They made $261M last year and spent $448M, losing -$187M across 1,470 employees ($305k per employee)
Sorry, I mean if you keep the percentage of taxes the same you end up with more money. That often changes the perception of reasonable expenses. Police forces for example are often better equipped in wealthy areas. The high school football field may have better bleachers ect.

Nobody thinks it's important to add street lights in the middle of corn fields. But, cities have had various forms of lighting over time and increasing standards for lighting levels from the 1400's to now. US street lights for example could be perfectly useful for walking if they where 1/10 as bright as they currently are which would significantly reduce associated costs.

Historically, rates where vastly lower. But, people also got vastly fewer benefits from the government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_medieval_England So, YMMV.

PS: Anyway, if inflation adjusted medium income was say 10x as much I could see people tolerating 70% tax rates as their take home pay would still be significantly higher than we have. AKA if average person make 500,000$ in inflation adjusted dollars then they might be ok with an after tax take home pay of just 150,000$ / year on average. But say government provided self driving cars and underground tunnel networks.

I guess by surveillance I was speaking purely transactional surveillance, and typically investigations into transactional behavior takes time, and under certain circumstances would result in criminal prosecution (on top of any regulatory fines/punishment).

It also takes time to coordinate investigating multiple different asset class transactions, in the event, say, equity derivatives are used.

And no, we don’t have info on what happened and what was taken, and certainly nothing about any regulatory investigations.
There is no native solution as there is no unique scenario regarding failover.
Some people prefer to do fencing using network tools like firewall rules or managed switches, other just reconfigure their applications connection string to remove the failed node, or even reconfigure connections with a middle-ware like pgbouncer.
There surely are other fencing solutions that don't come to my mind now, and others I don't even know of.
For failover you can use tools like repmgr which provides automatic failover, or set up your own monitoring which can either trigger an alert to your pager and you run the failover. Or you have it trigger some configuration manager to reset the nodes (I strongly suggest using Ansible ;) )
This is what makes postgres flexible, as it's not tied to one solution.

I'm not sure that the person you're responding to is advocating for guns. They are just pointing out that violent people don't stop being violent just because guns are removed from the picture.

For example, handguns and other concealable weapons were almost non-existent in Australia when I was living there. As a side effect, there were a lot of fistfights; far more than I've ever seen at equivalent bars/pubs in the US. That sucked, but I still found it preferable to being shot/mugged at gunpoint.

Likewise, acid attacks are terrible, and there are possibly more of them since guns and knives are less accessible. Doesn't mean that overall things are worse because of the ban.
> 9. Don't drink the alcohol, even when it's free.

Why? Air drinks are best drinks!

> Of course, if you are afraid of dying, heights, or falling I doubt any of these tips will help you.

But there is one thing that absolutely does: doing a discovery flight. In a disco flight, you'll fly with a pilot and be given permission to operate some very basic controls (taxiing on the runway, turns mid-air, the beginning of the landing approach). You'll learn how safe flying is. It's a great experience for those that are terrified of flying.

The next best thing is an air tour, since they are usually flown with the same small plane (Cessna 152).

Another thing that's helped me make flying extremely enjoyable is listening to ATC communications while on the ground (and during takeoff/landing if flying with Southwest). Taxiing up to the runway in a major airport is quite dramatic, and the bigger airports usually have small surprises that make it enjoyable (today, for example, I heard, then saw, that the President of Korea and probably Japan were in our same line).

In most any kind of disaster, secondary effects kill way more people than primary effects. Even if it seems silly, taking effective measures against the secondary effects is very worth doing.

If one sees a shanty town in the developing world one may wonder who would want to live there. What one does not see is what the conditions were before people moved into the shanty town. China actually completed rural electrification (and road coverage, cellular coverage etc) but still just having running water and indoor plumbing is a positive change for many.
Honestly, I used to live in Tower Hamlets, another "immigrant heavy" area for three years, and never felt remotely threatened.

Neither have the demographics in these areas "changed" much. The east end of London has had a large immigrant population since the 1970s and arguably since the 1700s when the Huguenots arrived from Northern France.

The most danger I was ever in was when they discovered an unexploded WWII bomb next to my flat ("The parties we've had in here, if it was going to go, it would have by now").

Acid attacks are so incredibly rare (350 last year) that any increase at all in them is going to represent a large statistical increase. If I had to hazard a guess as to why acid attacks were on the increase, it's because carrying a knife carries with it the chance of losing your own life as well and a life prison sentence if you kill someone. It's also (marginally) easier to argue that you're carrying a corrosive substance innocently than if you're found with a gun/knife. You are still 70x more likely to be involved in a knife attack than an acid attack.

Asking why immigration and changing demographics has caused this presupposes there being a racial motive at all. Explicitly asking for evidence which supports your theory suggests you've already made up your mind.
it could be that these immigrant areas are host to immigrants because they are poor areas. immigrants coming in with no connections or history in that country, and who probably came from a less wealthy country, would naturally take up residence in a poor area. and in a poor area, crime is higher. including acid attack crimes.

It seems to me that there is no evidence for either the subjective or the objective realms being the "real" reality. There is a strong argument for either, and they can both be explored with depth.

The concept of "reality", of a physical universe, of a "you", of order and pattern, of an persistent objective reality outside of you, do not exist per se, but as simulation and models in your mind that you accrued throughout your life.

To be more specific, there is an underlying reality that is neither "objective" nor "subjective", but from which both of these realities emerge once a conscious being appears in it. We cannot directly know the true nature of this underlying reality, as it cannot be directly experienced. What we call objective reality is really the experience of the simulation in our mind synthesized from sensory data, as well as our model of this simulation (science), and not the underlying "true" reality.
