> The state

is run by the Communist Party. "It's good to be rich", indeed, but apparently "enjoy the good life in China" is the unspoken addendum.

The people who got rich in China did so in context of a national strategic plan, devised and put in place by the Communist Party. It seems disengenuous to adopt a Randian position after the fact.

This same plan was supported by "partners" in the West. It is equally disengenuous ("tricky") for Western companies to complain about "treats". Those "treats" were, undoubtably, part of the agreement between the Communist Party and Western elites.
Flowers themselves just bathe everything in their version of sperm, aka pollen. Bees are so much more precise.
The regulatory info only gives information on the way things should be with regard to how truckers and the interstate highway system works, but I would suggest that before you invest on this hypothesis, talk to some truckers earning $0.50 per mile. And look at where semis actually park when they're taking their 30 minute and 11 hour breaks, before deciding how fast this transition will occur and how much infrastructure will have to be in place along the major cross country interstates like I-70, I-80, I-35, etc., before a trucking company or an independent trucker decides to go all in on electric.

(I don't know the answer, but I strongly suspect that regulations are not going to be the driver of the adoption of this tech. Short haul or "hot shot" could be better suited for electric and autonomous. Show me some progress there first and I will buy into some actual disruption. If you want a research assignment, take to the interstate back and forth across a couple of flyover states and stop and see where the trucks actually are.)

Too bad O'Reilly no longer sells books -- Cyber Monday 50% off is no more.
That's probably the ultimate cause of the behavior.

However, most insects are heavily r selected (low parental investment, lots of offspring). So the cost of eggs/parental investment relative to sperm isn't nearly as polarized as in a K selected species, e.g., humans, whales, elephants.

Though it would seem even with a slight difference in the metabolic cost of eggs vs sperm, and eons of time, the bee's "search algorithm" would be optimized/directionally selected toward favoring recall. A similar dynamic also works behind Gause's law, where two competing species can't sustain a constant population while occupying the same ecological niche, over a multi-generational timescale.

Tutorial on lex/yacc
Over the past year, I have been managing a few social media pages and often have problems coming up with good ideas of what to post. I did some googling and many social media tips sites recommend making quote images as they are engaging to viewers and often get likes and shares. I tried it out for some time and it worked! My pages' engagement increased by about 25%-67%, depending on the audience! However, this was very time consuming, setting up nice looking images every day and putting them together was hard work, so I automated it.

I have been using my quote maker for a while now and it has worked well for me, better engagement and no need to think of ideas every day, although I still do post something different now and then. I have decided to try opening my generator to the public and sell some quote images to people who want to improve their page engagement. If you want to try it out, head on over to https://quotefactory.xyz. I just launched it and would like to get some feedback. If you have any success stories with QuoteFactory or quote images in general, tell me, I would love to know them.

To some. Yet it's still true. Go figure. If you honestly think about your bronze age superstitions enough you will eventually figure out why they can't possibly be true, and aren't even remotely ethical. Many other people, even children, have found the path out of that trap, and you can too, so don't give up hope. It will become obvious eventually.

It might not be a pyramid scheme but the phrasing is certainly very fishy and scammy:

This phrasing is everywhere in the ad. To me, it's just someone trying to make money from teaching a language. Nothing wrong with the teaching part but the hidden-yet-never-spelled-out-promises-because-of-legal-exposure feels very disingenuous and scammy to me.

I guess I don’t understand why smart people, like you seem to be, would want to design a system that inherently rewards nepotism instead of one that rewards innovation in the present.

Your system of “natural” fortune spreading was the default for all time until the modern welfare state came along. That’s what you want to return to? Hope that stupidity somehow spreads wealth the best?
Norving has no idea what he's talking about.

A design pattern is a practice that emerges as more and more people start using your language.

Basically, there are two kinds of languages: languages that have design patterns and languages that nobody uses.
Where's the 20 lines of code? The code base is small, but looks like hundreds of lines, not dozens.
Hmm not really because most of those things have alerts to warn us when something is wrong.

Also, we have a Kibana dashboard which does have information from different sources and it easily tell us if everything is good or not.
We love ZeroTier. It's a great piece of software that makes layer 2 networking (and above) across WANs very simple and secure.

An additional reason to choose OpenSSH over OpenVPN is that OpenVPN is dependent on OpenSSL.

As such, it is potentially subject to past and future vulnerabilities OpenSSL.

OpenSSH does not depend on OpenSSL.
I think the problem now is that all the complexity is to take advantage of the current debt-based economy. For example, I suspect that better returns on stocks than bonds contributed to the Glass-Stegaall repeal.

Not specially. I imagine a lot of these wanderers of all shapes might exist. Statistically, that we have only seen one with such an unusual shape demands explanation.

One possible reason would be that more conventional shapes are somehow hampered in their travels.
My thesis is that a torpedo shape is relatively advantageous to objects traversing a fluid medium. I have no idea what fluid that might be.
I'm doing the same thing for a few of my personal tools, and once you get over the instinctive revulsion it's a remarkably nice data flow. For example, I maintain state for an IRC D&D game using a bot that publishes to a github static page after every character-sheet edit. The big win is that I don't have to worry about hosting or availability - the bot only has to be up when the game is in session, the rest of the time, github provides for anyone that wants to look at their character sheet or anything. I do the same thing to maintain an el cheapo bash.org slash bucket [1] for a discord community I'm part of; again, a discord bot is significantly easier to keep alive than a website.

Never get tired of writing this but people probably get tired of reading it - I played Gunship on the C64 when it came out, and about 20 years later I worked with one of the guys who helped write it, and he was IIRC 16 years old at the time he worked on Gunship (which humbling enough was my age when I was playing it).
My previous job would buy two iPhones on each annual release cycle: 1 big screen, 1 small. One of these devices was kept current with software updates, while the other was frozen at the major iOS version it shipped with. This generally provided good coverage, though by the end there were ~8 supported devices in rotation to test on at any given time which can feel excessive.

One time, I was contacted by someone who wanted to open up a community forum for Amazon sellers. I told him that's about the worst idea I've ever heard.

The online selling community is so cut throat and fractured that it goes well beyond healing at this point. It's a game of win at costs.

This absolutely nothing new. Sellers will leave bad reviews, flag legitimate listings for fraud, sue each other, and myriad other things.

To give an idea of how old this is, look at the origin story of Nast Gal clothing.
I'm glad that this is being brought up.

However, duplicated comments are not necessarily faked. For instance, there are many times centralized campaigns that people can sign onto for sending messages. The messages from those, while identical, are proper and what the individuals believe.

This happens on both sides of issues. So, please continue to investigate, but be careful you don't interject your own biases into your investigation.
This makes sense--it explains why it takes as long to charge my mobile phone as a model S. Obviously different chemistries can charge at different rates, and the power supply and cooling needs to scale with the battery capacity, but if these are scaled then two batteries which use the same cells will recharge in the same time regardless of how many cells are in the battery.

I suspect Tesla's grid storage already proves this point.
There's a dead comment that says this:

>* Traders will devise a suitable risk management plan prior to initiating a short position. Unlike the media driven nonsense about a large activist shorting a bull market permanently, many traders can and do make leveraged long and short trades all the time, with the intention of exiting at a loss if the trade doesn’t go immediately (for some definition of immediately) in their favor. *

In my experience working at prop firm that was trading (speculating) on futures, this is the case. We would enter leveraged short/long positions based on some kind of signals with some kind of risk framework for all assets in the portfolio.
I got some too. In my case they were from battleforthenet.com. Maybe yours were too? I had signed up quite some time ago, so I was surprised to see these. I guess they only recently sent them or the senators only recently responded.
Not sure why this is getting downvotes, it seems like a blindingly obvious part of the system. As for power to the chargers and paying high premiums for surge loads, it's a real shame there's no technology that Tesla could use to accumulate and store power locally at stations with local storage capacity determined based on expected usage.

For that matter, just take the flat frame/battery pack of the current cars and make them replaceable slabs on rails. Charge each one independently or swap them out, though that'd probably be a service thing instead since you probably want to keep those trucks on the road as much as possible.

Well, first of all, bear in mind that cable content involves partnerships between the provider and the content. And even when T-Mobile offers it's Binge On-type services, that's through an agreement as well.

The idea that an ISP could just arbitrarily block a given site without being paid a fee and without getting sued to oblivion is silly. Most of what Netflix and stuff is upset about is being asked to pay for specific peering agreements, which is, IMHO, perfectly fine. If Netflix wants optimized networking just for them, they may have to pay extra for it.

I've lived in London for a few years and recently went on a trip to Dublin. I found there to be more sandwich shops (and for some reason doughnut shops) there. While London has better food overall, there is no doubt that Dubliners know how to make better sandwiches. Even a dingy looking sandwich place near a bus stop made sandwiches that were a step above anything I have ever had in London.
Oh, I thought you were talking about running the program. That entire line is for the purpose of removing everything in the current directory except the source files, such as the 'repositories' folder (which is where the program stores downloaded repositories by default) for cleanup purposes.

As for why sudo is there, whenever the download directory for the repositories is rm'd for cleanup, I get a confirmation prompts for each subdirectory:

rm -r repositories/
rm: descend into write-protected directory 'repositories/'? y
rm: descend into write-protected directory 'repositories/calculator'
...

So I just use sudo to skip said prompts and documented it.

Seeing a Mondo 2000 article posted in 2017 is surprising, but the fact that jwz posted a comment correcting a factual error makes it seem somehow normal.
FCC has explicitly said that they have ignored any opinion comments. They have only considered comments which bring new facts or a legal opinion. So the fact that many comments were faked is irrelevant anyway.

Why No Decision Has Been Roku Whether HTML5 Navigation Standard or Not?
Roku is a streaming device that is used to stream all sorts of videos from the channels that it supports. But, there are certain standards that Roku has to follow in order to get access to the videos that are distributed to the network through smart set-top boxes. Currently, HTML5 standard can’t be used for video distribution because it is bulky and costly. Let’s discuss more of this n the blog post below.

I tried a lot of prepackaged sandwiches when I lived in London, all of them sucked. Even the more expensive ones from Starbucks were bad.

Maybe I'm just not a sandwich person, but I really really hate the bread that they use in the prepackaged sandwiches. They tend to go for that dry, flaky and flavourless stuff that doesn't do anything for me.

Edit: Actually, there was one time I had a sandwich I liked, I think it was the premium stuff they sell at M&S, that one was 6/10.
I don't know if it mattered, but the comments as shown in the article are pretty much the same copy with various simple replacements for many phrases. This happens in lots of spam campaigns. I'm not sure anyone spent much time doing it - could be few hours for someone who does spam already. It doesn't look like a sophisticated or costly action.
[I am not a lawyer]

Only Congress passes laws (statutes). The FCC is a regulatory body. It has statutory authority (delegated by Congress) to create regulations, not statutes (laws). Proposed FCC regulations have to go through a process defined by statute. Publication and comment are part of that process. Irregularities in the process may form the basis of judicial challenge. Whether what is described here constitutes an irregularity is another matter.

Regulations may have the force of a law, but don't receive the same level of judicial deference in terms of intent. If Congress were to a law to explicitly end net neutrality, the courts would have to assume that the law is the will of the people and a challenge could only be made on Constitutional grounds. An FCC regulation can also be challenged on legal grounds (the regulation violates a statute).
It’s really not an apples to apples comparison. For my teammates on the development team, yes an SSH tunnel is going to be easier for our needs due to the reduced overhead. But if I want to give my customer support team access to private web services in our production cluster, a VPN is the perfect solution.

At FarmLogs, each of our Kube clusters has a bastion VPN host that puts you inside the VPC and handles DNS to Route53 (and the VPC) so <service>.farmlogs “just works”

We use Foxpass to handle this with LDAP bridged to Google Apps so when an employee joins or leaves their VPN access is immediately updated.
Get money out of politics. No more superPACs. No more third party bullshit.

I assume that would be the case, but looking from outside it's hard to know what did they actually look at. They could gain a lot more confidence from the public if they marked ignored comments as ignored. It would both avoid this discussion and allow people to read the actually interesting content that is going to influence the result.
