If (like me) you don't know anything about the (online) poker scene, "Black Friday" here is likely a reference to United States v. Scheinberg [1], a federal criminal case against the founders of some major online poker sites.

You can't prove positively that other humans feel pain. The best you can do is say that they look, when they are in the situations in which you would feel pain, similar to the way you look when you feel pain.

The less other people or things look like themselves, the more they are judged not to feel pain or any sort of inner state in the same way. There's never any evidence preceding the judgment; what precedes the judgment is a material dependence on that person or animal being treated in a way that would cause us pain, and the judgment is a result of demanding evidence for that pain that we wouldn't demand to prove that our neighbor felt pain.

Other things that at some time according to the scientific consensus didn't feel pain? Babies and black people.
So you mean dedicated bike lanes, I think. Dedicated bike roads implies physically segregated to me.
The Real Difference Between You and a Plant
What basis do we have to call presumable feeling associated with negative stimulus "pain" and not "tingling" or "shame" or "irresistible urge to move away"?
It's the same situation when there are no signs. Then all roads have same priority and you give way to the vehicle on your right. If 4 vehicles come to the intersection at the same time then every vehicle has another vehicle on their right and it's a standstill. If I remember correctly in such situations drivers need to communicate and one vehicle should go first to resolve the situation.
At the time of Huxley and Darwin, your question would mostly get the response that the presumption is wrong. These days we know that the foundational biochemistry out of which these qualia arise is the same give or take a few pathways and therefore tend to doubt that humans are especial in these characteristics.
> simple junction alterations as in this particular case

I'd propose an even-simpler alteration, which would require zero engineering & road closures: block some of the right sight lines from Dibden to Beaulieu when approaching with a sightscreen, trees, or billboards. Drivers approaching would notice the impaired visibility and switch to a more defensive technique or be more aware of a potential collision.

What you propose seems way more interesting a topic. Any writeup about this you would suggests to read about the history of those groups?
Yes, and suddenly you're in a tunnel frequented by characters you're likely to find in a crime thriller who like to find out-of-the-way places to practice their craft.
> The highway code says that cyclists should stay to the left.

The uniform vehicle code (which is the basis of many state road rules in the US) states the following:

>> Any person operating a bicycle... shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except under any of the following situations

>> [...]

>> When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions including [...] substandard width lanes that make it unsafe to continue along the right-hand curb or edge. For purposes of this section, a "substandard width lane" is a lane that is too narrow for a bicycle and a motor vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane.

A cyclist riding as close to the edge of a given lane as practicable will leave roughly 2 feet between the edge of the bicycle's handlebar and the edge of the lane. The cyclist is about 2 feet wide. In a lot of states in the US, there is a requirement that a least 3 feet of space is left between the cyclist and the overtaking vehicle.

2 + 2 + 3 = 7 feet. A passenger vehicle in the US is about 6 feet wide. A commercial vehicle (e.g., truck/lorry or bus) is about 8.5 feet wide. The typical lane width ranges from 10 to 12 feet. For a 10 foot wide lane, a cyclist taking up 7 feet of space only leaves 3 feet of space for a 6 to 8.5 foot wide vehicle (5 feet for 12 foot wide lanes). That means that the two vehicles cannot safely travel side-by-side within the lane.

So, according to the UVC, there isn't a requirement to keep toward the edge of the lane in most cases.

I haven't checked to see whether the UK highway code has a similar exception to the "stay to the left part of the lane" rule.

The other problem with keeping towards the edge of the lane as opposed to riding near the middle is that the cyclist is less visible to overtaking, cross, and oncoming traffic because they're hidden by other motor vehicles or not in the field of view of a lot of drivers.

10 Lessons from 10 Years of AWS (part 1)
Suicidal thoughts are also like a domino effect or chain reaction.

The first thought is fleeting. But as time goes on, another domino falls, and as things aren’t going quite your way, another domino falls, and as isolation takes over, another domino falls, and as anger and resentment builds, another domino falls, and that’s how those suicidal thoughts increase to the point of actually doing it.

And once the dominos start falling, faster and faster, it’s very hard to stop it.

All of you have had a suicidal thought. But most of you have found a reason to nip it before the dominos truly start to fall.

>I get you, wrong wording

No. Not that.

>Also, having a file on a container (which is probably the easiest test to perform) often is _the desired behavior_

No it isn't. The end user doesn't give a damn whether a particular file is on the container. That's an implementation detail. The end user wants:

* Pages to load quickly

* To not have to face data inconsistency bugs

* Pages to operate while the site is under high load

* For various services your system connects to to work properly (e.g. clicking 'get two factor code' actually sends an SMS).

Checking to see if a certain file is present is pointless if that doesn't lead to the desired system behavior.

Moreover, if you have the means to verify the desired system behavior:

* The presence of the file, if it was required, can be assumed.

* If you swap out a component and stop needing that file to be present to achieve the same behavior your test will still fail even if your system works perfectly. That's an extremely undesirable property to have in a test.

Checking for the presence of a file and failing hard if it is not there as part of a build is a sometimes a good way sanity checking a component, but as an outside 'test' of that component it's a bad idea.
So where and how can you draw the line. Ameobas? Sponges? The first brains (which appears in worms 500 million years ago)?
You should try actually reading the article, which gives several different examples of interesting behavioral experiments to infer the conscious decision of certain fish to avoid painful experiences (without requiring the fish to tell us on a scale of 1 to 10 'how much it hurts' in fishspeak).
In specific answer to your second question, Let's Encrypt intends to blacklist IPs for those providers from using tls-sni-01 proof of control.

Now, requiring unrelated third-parties to take action is (perhaps unfortunately) nothing new for DV. Back in the day lots of the web mail providers got bitten because some CA would decide that, say, receipt of email to ssl-certificate-officer@example.com is proof of control of example.com, so you just sign up for web mail and say you want the email address ssl-certificate-officer and bingo you get a certificate for a few bucks. This was exploited over and over.

Even today, the Ten Blessed Methods let a CA choose any email address you listed in WHOIS (fair enough, don't list anybody else's address in WHOIS) _or_ any of 'admin', 'administrator', 'webmaster', 'hostmaster', or 'postmaster'.

So when you build a web mail system you need to explicitly blacklist those five email addresses even if you would never need an account named "webmaster" or "admin", if you fail to take this specific action anybody can get certificates for your domain by talking to any of the commercial CAs that use a method complying with 3.2.2.4.4.

Let's Encrypt already disabled a feature of http-01 validation before going live to avoid needing bulk web hosts and CDNs to make a sensible configuration choice, because surveys suggested that lots of them had left insecure default choices enabled.

Or another email example (again thus not affecting Let's Encrypt): Lots of companies purchased anti-phishing systems that scan all incoming email to check for dodgy links. These systems typically dereference all the links, check what they find and quarantine suspicious emails. Several CAs had systems which sent an email saying "Just click here to authorize issuance". The anti-phishing system follows the link, now it's clicked, anyone could get a certificate for these domains because the anti-phishing system would "authorize" anything they requested...

Now, all these are historical rather than current examples, but they do illustrate that "requiring unrelated parties to take specific actions" won't be new or unique to Let's Encrypt.
Encoding speed right now is: either you have a computer cluster or you'll die before the encoding is done. But it will probably get better.

Indeed. Even though the build engine was very limited in comparison to true 3d, it was much more WYSIWYG. The mix of drawing rooms as shapes and then jumping into 3d mode to decorate within the game engine was so fast and seamless. In unrealEd, each playtest loaded the full game which took forever on machines of that day.
Let's be careful not to conflate two things: conforming to red lights isn't a goal in itself, safety is the goal. A lot of drivers get exercised about "cyclists running red lights" in cases that are actually safer than the alternatives, e.g. cyclists crossing a junction ahead of motor traffic when the junction doesn't have a dedicated light phase for cyclists.

Cyclists running up the inside mostly happens because waiting in a queue of traffic at a light or junction is very dangerous for a cyclist; stopping and starting are inherently dangerous and made much more so when you're starting in the middle of a queue that's anxious to start moving. In many cases road design endorses this - you'll see junctions with a cycle lane on the left running up to the light, and cyclists are expected to pass on the left even when a vehicle in line is turning left.

The solution that I've seen work best is a marked cycle-only box immediately before the junction - that provides cyclists a place to wait for the light, but it also makes for a clear dividing line between the section where cyclists are expected to pass the queue on the left versus the entry into the junction where that would be unsafe. Unfortunately cars often occupy those boxes and are seemingly not penalised for doing so. More of those boxes and more enforcement of those that exist would help, IMO, as would giving cyclists a dedicated light phase (as is done at e.g. some of the junctions on CS2) to let them clear the junction before motorists enter.

In terms of Bank specifically, it's an outlier: it's an extremely complex junction (7 roads) that simply has too much traffic demand for the space available. The junction has now been restricted to buses, cycles and pedestrians only during the daytime, and there's talk of removing the buses as well. That's appropriate: it's both safer and more efficient in terms of person throughput than allowing cars to use the very limited space there.
I find navigating these slides quite difficult, shouldn't a lecture have a linear narrative?

Instead, I can use the left/right/down/up buttons to go through the slides in a fashion I cannot understand (if I just use the right arrow in the Intro, it goes 1 2 3 5 8...).
> The truly contemptible human error is not in a single person carelessly failing to see. It (...) is in our incessant support of a system which cries “human error” as an excuse to do nothing, rather than as a stimulus to understand that error in order to create a solution.

Interestingly, I've seen parallels at work, when doing retrospectives: "this didn't go well mostly due to human error (slacking, forgetting, etc.), so the lesson for next time is to just do that better."

Instead, I'd prefer us to be looking for a way to prevent human error to cause problems in the future. But I guess the reason for us often not doing that is probably because it's too much effort compared to the perceived benefit - and that's probably true most of the time.
My standard way of "smoke testing" docker images is to run a verify script at the end that just checks all the expected binaries are in the path, and tries to access any expected environment variables while `-u` is set.

DirectAdmin, the most popular webhosting control panel in my country.

In my opinion this is not a bug because when I need to test a website, I often create an invalid hostname on the server and add the server's IP address to my computer's /etc/hosts. When I need HTTPS, I upload a certificate for the test hostname signed by my private CA.
An (anti)pattern I often see is a road that's physically segregated for plain road, but then merges into and out of the main roadway (sometimes becoming a dedicated lane) for junctions.
Telegram publishes TON white paper (70 mln costs for 2017)
I think you're overcomplicating your proposed solution; if it's a hassle to track each family's residence, assume all residences may have families present. Compression braking is a nuisance, so post speed limit & compression breaking restriction signs well in advance of the houses so normal braking can be used.

In the UK, all this is done by putting up street lights. The Highway Code then dictates that the road has a speed limit of 30mph and is residential (no compression braking).

I don't understand your comment about overtaking. Are you thinking of long, straight roads with mostly-evenly distributed houses over a large distance?

I totally agree, yet the established and 'informed' take on this is to disregard any such observations of emotion and other complex behavior in animals as anthropomorphism.

> In science, the use of anthropomorphic language that suggests animals have intentions and emotions has traditionally been deprecated as indicating a lack of objectivity. Biologists have been warned to avoid assumptions that animals share any of the same mental, social, and emotional capacities of humans, and to rely instead on strictly observable evidence. In 1927 Ivan Pavlov wrote that animals should be considered "without any need to resort to fantastic speculations as to the existence of any possible subjective states". More recently, The Oxford companion to animal behaviour (1987) advised that "one is well advised to study the behaviour rather than attempting to get at any underlying emotion".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphism#In_science

After years of casually observing stray cats, for example, I would nearly bet my life that they experience complex emotions like love, embarrassment, and depression, but I know better than to draw that conclusion around my biologist and zookeeper friends. While the scientific motivation makes sense somewhat, I think it's pretty clearly a feel-good default notion that allows us humans to keep eating, experimenting on, and otherwise subjugating animals for our own purposes (not that I'm not guilty of some of these).
what you should do, to dogs definitely,(it helps with other animals too) is to lower a hand toward them, present the back of your hand and allow them to sniff it, only then should you attempt to stroke the dog (if it snarled at the offered hand dont stroke it), and when you do stroke it, dont go straight for the top of the head.

Crouching down to its height could expose you to worse injury as you are now putting your face and throat much closer to the animal.

These are the instructions I give my children, who love animals and are used to dogs and want to pet every dog they see.

No, I'm just stating the current reality of lack of basic rationality in education, which makes young people especially susceptible to drawing the wrong (sometimes literally fatal) conclusions from events that they experience, information they hear/read/see.
In theory, yes I agree, some evergreen bushes would be sufficient. But it technically still leaves it possible for a driver to shoot straight over whereas the road change is fool-proof. Plus you don't actually have to close any roads to implement the junction alteration (in this case). Of course it is more expensive and time consuming to implement, I grant you that.
Seeing bike riders in London a lot of those sort of accidents (90 % of fatalities in London) are caused by cyclists undertaking agresivly.

Also the way the UK's bike lanes are set up encourage cyclists to get in front of other traffic at traficlight controlled junctions - normalises undertaking.

A plant can't get away from a situation, so I am not sure that it would make sense for it to feel pain the same way that we do.
The other thing about 4-way stop intersections in the US is that the right-of-way rules when two vehicles arrive at the intersection at the same time is not quite what one would expect. That is, the vehicle to the right has the right of way. If the intersection was controlled by a roundabout, then the vehicle to the left would have the right of way.
One thing that these networks don't seem to protect well against are fake peers that request data but dont provide it. These currencies and coins have been lucky in that regard and have prevented some of it by seeding their own trusted peers as the initial peer neighborhood. But is this true decentralization? Seems a bit obtuse. To add to the baffle, IPFS started using bitcoin and ethereum for storing the initial peer data for new clients to connect to. Its a web... maybe thats ok. Are things allowed to be this tangled? ;-)
This is why I tacitly approve of forced (or pressured) automatic updates for Windows, macOS, and iOS. Everyone is probably safer when most efforts to fix Zero day exploits, General hardening, etc. are concentrated on fewer versions.

It is a beautifully minimalist game. With such an economy of mechanics, features and elements, it can be at the same time relaxing, exciting, frustrating and rewarding.

If you can kill many (not only some - don't know where you get that info?) bacteria, fungi etc. during an operation, while they are on their way to infect a wound, how is this not viable? I think we are misunderstanding each other. Here is another article where infected burn wounds were "disinfected" with blue light: https://newatlas.com/blue-light-kills-bacteria/26026/

"In a proof-of-concept study, led by Dr. Michael R. Hamblin of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, an array of blue LEDs was used to treat infected burns on lab mice. More specifically, the blue light was used to selectively eradicate potentially-lethal Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in the animals’ skin and soft tissues.

The results of the study were promising. All of the light-treated mice survived, while 82 percent of the untreated control group died. Additionally, unlike bacteria-killing ultraviolet light, the blue light wasn’t harmful to the animals’ own cells."
