Cyberbullying's chilling trend: Teens anonymously target themselves online
I'm pretty comfortable with the company of expertise my argument keeps on this subject.
Why Local News Anchors All Have the Same Look
Your politicians are lying to you because they are paid off by the taxi monopoly. Service everywhere increases because of Uber and Lyft. The behavior you describe is exactly what taxis do. If you look at how things improved in all cities, service improved by orders of magnitude. In NYC, service to all 5 boroughs improved dramatically because of Uber and Lyft, because taxis would only service manhattan.

Before you follow blindly what your politicians are telling you, do some research and educate yourself first. Don’t rely on headlines and word of mouth.
While paper used to be the near-perfect technology for storing and distributing non-ephemeral information nowadays this has been turned on its head to the extent that using paper for these purposes has become downright detrimental:

Information stored on paper in some filing cabinet in some office for all practical purposes simply doesn't exist. It can't be easily searched, retrieved or accessed by someone who's not in the same room and doesn't exactly know what he's looking for. In other words: That information is lost.

Old habits unfortunately die hard, which is why people still seem to be thinking that storing non-ephemeral information or knowledge on paper is a good idea.
We bought some Cisco whiteboard thing at work. Great! Collaborative whiteboarding with our team in Austin.

Guess what one fucking feature it didn't have?

That's right! You couldn't just dial another whiteboard on the network and start immediately drawing together with another person.

(Ironically, when I tried to demonstrate this issue to one of our IT folks, the damn smartboard refused to start right up because it needed to install a firmware upgrade - that provided this functionality.)
Thanks. I’m making a plan right now
On the desktop, Lotus Notes was a popular complex workflow builder for a time in the 80s and 90s.
Not the OP, but 98% of the time that someone sends me a .key file for a Mac Keynote presentation, my Keynote application is out of date and cannot open the file. Additionally, it sometimes cannot update either, unless other components are updated, such as the entire OS itself.

A bare minimum requirement for me would be, "a computer can be reasonably expected to open the file". Yes, a computer without the correct application installed could not reasonably be expected to open the file. But here is a computer, perfectly capable of displaying the file, but choosing not to do so. Note that these are not files that are created with the new Keynote that I may not have installed. These are normal Keynote files created in the same version I have - but now my version isn't good enough to open files any more, it would seem.

A piece of paper would never do that.
When you read about Kay's Dynabook idea (and get past how the machine mockup looks) you see that he's essentially describing the "computational equivalent" to paper. With such a medium, one could create digital forms as easily as they draw printed forms on paper. And we do not have these types of machines or systems today.

Additionally, there is no better read experience than paper. And consider archiving: digital documents are much harder to preserve than paper documents, and this has enormous implications for public policy, history, and democracy.
You don’t need to use containerd. Other runtimes make it possible (per container offsets have been possible in runc for over year).

640k is not maximum available to applications, but the maximum amount of RAM that would fit into PC, restof the 1MB address space was reserved for ROMs and memory mapped IO.

No dos commands were normally part of ROM. In fact even command.com was designed such that large part of it could be thrown away if additional memory was required and then reloaded from disk when user program terminated (this was implemented by relocating the "transient" part onto the end of usable address space and detecting whether it was overwritten by user programs). Larger DOS file managers usually use similar approach, but simpler: the UI is implemented by separate binary that simply records what the user wants to run somewhere and then exits passing control to small stubbinary that starts requested program and restarts the UI when the program ends.

Edit: MS-DOS 2.0's command.com detects that the transient part was overwritten by means of single byte checksum. The reason why it is done in this somewhat hackish way is that DOS allocates all of the available memory for most MZ EXE programs regardless of how many they actually use (MZ header specifies minimum and maximum amount of unitialized memory needed, with no maximum being the default).
It does matter though. They don't say they want 10000 clicks in a vacuum. They pay for that many clicks because the math tells them it should be worth $1k in revenue. In reality someone is manipulating the math

They should have been able to dedicate half the money for the same revenue, or the same money for double the rev, in your scenario.

Put another way, the estimate is that they pay out $500 for $2k in revenue, then someone came in and dumped a bunch of bots in the way and ate away half their revenue. It's not like those empty clicks are people who just weren't compelled to buy what they were selling. They are bots intentionally disrupting commerce.

> Adult intelligence appears to be somewhere between 50 and 80% determined by genetics.

Citation desperately needed. An IQ test, if you've ever taken one, measures a whole bunch of things but not necessarily intelligence. It's a written test which a native speaker benefits tremendously from due to some of the sort of convoluted language used for some of the questions. And many of the mental tricks it tests are things which can be (and are) taught.

Also, even if you somehow proved that some aspects of intelligence were biologically inherited, that still doesn't prove genetics. Current understanding of epigenetics shows that you can pass on traits caused by your environment through mechanisms not in the DNA itself.
No, they're not.

Patriotism: plenty of ethno-specific religions out there. I was born into one.

Racism: "race is our religion" - an explicit slogan for more than one neonazi movement.

Functional programming: when an advocate moves past "one must" to "you must", the allusions to religion and holy wars get pretty justified.
It's totally different but I think Dollar General is benefiting from a similar play.

They've really doubled down on rural areas, mostly playing off of the fact that people don't want to drive long distances to stores for basics and how much cheaper they are than the competition.

Dollar General acknowledges the above, but I wonder if any of their success is related to that distortion?

You're totally normal. The majority of people start project and never finish for totally valid reasons. Since you are smart enough to know what your main issue is, you're only a few steps away from overcoming it. Here is my advice for what it's worth:

- start smaller projects, something you could finish in one afternoon (it will take you longer as any project does)

- find a support group that you need to report to (I'm part of a secret elite app mastermind and boy you don't want to show your face if you have made zero progress and look bad in front of other entrepreneurs)

- find a partner

- pay a freelancer to help you out with the tasks that prevent you from finishing, whether the tasks are boring or out off your skill set.

That should be enough to help you get to the next level, but at the end of the day, some people just can't do it because life happens...

ps: i did not give you any link to resources because getting more resources will put you in passive mode, you need to say in active mode.
You responded to a comment about how a case is extremely uncommon, with a suggestion about half the population. All I pointed out is that your argument is less than perfectly applicable to the comment to which you're responding, by stating a mathematical fact.

I didn't assume anything, ignore anything, assert anything, or even draw a conclusion about what should be done. Just spreading facts.

> without establishing why this is such a worthwhile fight and/or investment

I'd say it's fundamental, and on the short-term, we all understand that as a civilization. That's why every society protects its member from threats, including crime, fire, natural disasters, famine, war. It's not just about quality - you may live the happiest of lives, up until the point a bullet enters your brain[0].

I think there are three main moral reasons for fighting death:

- suffering in the process of death itself

- existential suffering of knowing your time is limited, and that of knowing you're about to die

- suffering of those who you leave behind

Efforts against #1 connect to quality of life, and with progress on that field, it could be resolved. #2 and #3 won't go away until we achieve (effective) immortality, and for many (myself included) they are the reason to support life extension. But maybe you're right, that a stronger pitch along #1 would help gather extra support.

Then there are economic debates about whether our societies could survive sudden doubling of expected lifespans, or whether we'll be able to offload people fast enough to off-world colonies. I say, we'll figure it out as we go along - it's a nice problem to have, as opposed to death.

Being from the south I've occassionally heard and used the term "carpetbagger" which doesn't have slavery connotations that I know of but is from the same era. I've never heard the term copperhead used with that meaning, maybe only people from the north know it?
The taxes won't be an issue. They'll easily be swamped by lowered costs, eventually.

One major issue is retail store licenses; few cities are deciding to license stores, and they're not happening on day 1 (for the most part).

Another issue is licenses for growers. Currently growing licenses only allow 1 acre under cultivation, and it sounds like production will be nowhere near high enough to meet demand, at least initially.

It sounds like CA's start into the legal market will be a lot rockier than most.
Binaries almost never form from stars “wandering” and “encountering” other stars. Current scientific understanding is that almost all stars are formed as binaries in the first place.
I've searched a while for an IBM-compatible RTOS that gives your application direct access to the hardware. There are better alternatives than FreeDOS.

A glaring omission is access to long mode. There's no DPMI for long mode. You can knock the PC into long mode, but DOS calls are no longer accessible in any fashion.
Nice overall; my only complaint is that you raised the question "Are LTC log returns normally distributed?" but only gave an uninterpreted graphical comparsion. I was hoping for a test statistic...

It's not. Public numbers are based on preferred shares. Options are common.

> People who work at those companies might decide to donate their own money to politicians, yes. That doesn't mean they're buying special influence with them on behalf of their employers.

And the company might decide they deserve an extra Christmas bonus equal to their contributions to candidates the company likes plus enough to cover the income taxes... It was however, a discretionary bonus available to all employees. It might not be legal, but it happens all the time.
Until Houdini is available everywhere so that you can hook into the CSS engine and provide your own custom layout managers, I think masonry layouts will always require some JS. Using CSS grids might make the code simpler though.

I admit that I was interpreting it along those lines originally. I'm not sure if that was my mistake based on local context or if it was edited afterwards to clarify their intended point.

I do still believe it's a bit naive to think we can assume the ability to rectify the problem of a frozen brain in a jar within the semi-near future, or even that we are preserving them correctly, but I'm all for giving people the choice as long as we ruthlessly weed out those who present their services as scientifically sound when they aren't (if they present it as mumbo jumbo, then whatever).
> Small town businesses cant turn a profit and as such shouldnt be getting a loan. They are barely keeping the lights on.

Most startups can't and won't turn a profit, so they shouldn't be getting loans and financing by that logic either.
Every† OS update includes new features: they're generally not just bug fixes. These new features will generally increase the amount of work the machine needs to do, and often is made feasible by the availability of the new hardware.

If the older machine doesn't have the same power as newer hardware, it will likely be slower: it's doing more work. Anyone developing a system needs to make a choice: allow the new feature to run on older hardware and accept that it may be slower, or don't allow it to run. They also need to make tradeoffs in what feature sets they make available to platforms (e.g., version-x-for-platform-a, version-x-for-platform-b). Each additional version/platform configuration is additional work to maintain. You may disagree with the choices they make, but they do have to make these choices depending on where they want to distribute their resources as a company.

If the underlying assumption is that Apple is doing this on purpose to make machines obsolete, I think that's mistaken. If OS updates make an older machine run slower, that happens because the update includes new features which requires more resources, and older machines may not have as many resources available.

† At least major versions, and most minor versions.

"These people do things like work full time, go to school in the evenings, and graduate from college in four years."

That's not a thing anymore. Working full time at the wages you can earn without a college degree, won't pay for college tuition, especially not in four years.

The biggest way to help inequality would be to radically bring down the cost of a college education. Not loans, which just place lower and middle income families in even greater financial risk. A fully funded public university system with low tuition, like many states used to have not too long ago.
It’s not a full kernel memory CVE, you have +-255 bytes access to kernel memor from the cred pointer. I have no idea if that extends to userns or not. Also I think your confusing Java threads for system threads they are not the same.

Most CB support Android now so offline use. Ironically you are getting more offline support for things than Windows or OS X because there is more and more an Android app and for Win and OS x web use is expected.

Was flying United not long ago and the entertainment system supported on iOS and Android so you could use with a CB but not Windows or Mac laptops. Confused the heck out of the person sitting next to my son. Finally explained to him why it was working on my son's laptop.

From Wikipedia: While it is not impossible that some binaries might be created through gravitational capture between two single stars, given the very low likelihood of such an event (three objects are actually required, as conservation of energy rules out a single gravitating body capturing another) and the high number of binaries, this cannot be the primary formation process. Also, the observation of binaries consisting of pre main-sequence stars, supports the theory that binaries are already formed during star formation. Fragmentation of the molecular cloud during the formation of protostars is an acceptable explanation for the formation of a binary or multiple star system.

I may have to go this or a similar route, to go back to using WiFi and Bluetooth on my ~5.5 month old Motorola G5+ [1].

I mean, come on! Ship a patch/update, already!

1) That replaced a bootlooped ~1.4 year old Nexus 5X. Wasn't going to spend big bucks after that burn and while waiting for the Pixel 2 or Samsung whatever, or Apple's new line, to drop in a month or two.

And now, with all the crap going on with all those various new models...

I've griped about this, before, but damn it, they deserve the criticism. And the only time they make positive changes seems to be when the public image and pressure get bad enough. (And things get worse again, as soon as that pressure relents -- or gets distracted.)
If anything, this points out that the use case of Docker for security isolation, such as in a multi-tenant architecture, is probably still not a good one.

In most use cases I see containers used for rapid and consistent deployment. The isolation benefit with multiple containers on a host is that if you install things with different library dependencies you don't run into conflicts. As such, the comparison for the common use case is just software installed directly on the host, which also is subject to this vuln.
Sure, I think there's progress to be made, but the police - not wrongly - are more worried about getting shot at than in most other countries.
