Not to be inflammatory, but are you stating that building rail and road infrastructure is morally worse than European actions on that continent (as recently as our own lifetimes)? Just seeking clarification.
Ah the good old "appeal to tradition" fallacy.

Just because it happened for a long time doesn't mean it is necessarily right, moral, or just.

This fallacious argument was used to retain slavery in the US for 50+ years after it was abolished in Britain/UK. It was used to justify restricting voting to white, landholding men and banning interracial marriage for centuries.

And if I were to use one of the president's favorite fallacies against himself[2], "what about" all of the places in the world where we reject local sovereignty for the supposed "national security" of the USA? I would argue that all of the problems the US has had with Iran since the late 1960s have to do with the USA's lack of respect for Iranian sovereignty in the 1950s.

Back in the day, post gulag, stipends were greater for those living in places like this. To encourage people to live there. For strategic reasons. But I don't know whether that continues now.

> Cars cannot be started without lighting a bonfire beneath the fuel tank.

Not under fuel tank, I think, unless diesel fueled. But definitely under crankcase. And not "bonfire", I think. More like hot coals. I used to do that, living in places where -40 C wasn't uncommon.
totally confused by the use of the word isomorphic, isnt this what we used to call a dynamic web app where the server side renders template files and then javascript embedded in the generated html files, most likely, does additional client side work? i’m confused, it mentions saving time by leveraging code for both server and client side, this sounds a bit like nodejs, but i have no idea how golang code gets run in the browser, confused, i must be missing something...
My intended meaning was that the US was not welcoming to Jewish refugees at any point prior to the end of the war, so calling it initially unwelcoming was misleading.

Most solar jobs are in solar install, which it will impact adversely. Solar manufacturing will see an increase, but it is mostly capital, not labor, intensive.

It could still make sense but I haven't seen a lot of the full rationale.
Kidnapping someone and locking them in a concrete box is a far greater moral infraction than almost all of the "reasons" that law enforcement does that to people. You deserve every opportunity to stop that from happening to you.
That's gonna differ per region and series I guess. I am getting the new Good Place episode every friday.

Meanwhile, my Sonarr + NZBGet (+ ...) setup downloads it as well and serves it via Emby. But the Netflix app on Android TV is ace ('cept the suggestions aren't always great) whereas Emby would require using the Chromecast.

How much in total compensation exactly do you think a say a ten year veteran of the NYPD should make in a year all in (i.e. including all shift differentials, uniform allowances, overtime, health care and other fringe benefits, as well as the net present value of the 1/20th of expected retirement benefits)?

What’s your estimate of the current average total amount?

And it's likely to inversely impact US solar installations as it raises the price to install them in the USA.

Also note that unless this is done within the WTO framework, it is likely to start/escalate (depending on your interpretation of previous events) a "trade war" (arms race of tariffs) which ultimately hurts the US consumer.
> but are you stating that building rail and road infrastructure is morally worse than European actions on that continent

No, and that's why I said "long game". For now, of course, African countries selling themselves out to China will profit - but the countries are, basically, binding their future on the goodwill of China. Just imagine the countries decide one day that they're done with cheap low quality China crap, that they want to incentivize local production or that they want to show solidarity with Tibet or Taiwan... say goodbye to your traffic infrastructure, that will be the Chinese response.

The West made Africa totally dependent on mitumba (cheap second-hand clothing that all but destroyed local textile industry) and other foreign aid (after all, Africa is a nice dumping ground for overproduced European milk and other food - do "something good" and keep European prices high at the same time), and the Chinese are doing the same with their money. Colonialism at its finest.

ah, i see, so compile some golang/template code into javascript? makes sense to me now, but i never liked the gwt type constructs, i for one actually like the fact that you have ui people working with javascript or whatever languages/frameworks they like and the backend guys doing what they like, and the contract between them is an api.
True; although Apple keeps supporting their old phones for quite awhile. iOS 11 still supports the iPhone 5S, which came out in September 2013. Only 6% of ios devices use an ios 9 or earlier[1].

4.5 years is pretty good in this market - last I checked you were lucky to get 2 years of software updates from most android vendors. According to usage stats about half of all android phones are stuck on an operating system from 2014 or earlier[1]. I don't want to think about the security consequences of most android phones never having security updates installed.

4.5 years still is nothing on postmarketOS's 10 year target. Bravo.

Can people stop saying this. There are plenty of ads in netflix/amazon/whatever shows.

They just make them unskippable by integrating them into their shows.

And I know other shows and movies do it as well, that is no reason to pretend you're not getting brainwashed to crave fast food and soda when watching these shows instead.

"Not to be against state's rights here, but isn't Net Neutrality anti-business?"

The amount of waste of Bitcoin Mining is incredible.

It is all about virtual digital mining, which is to race to find the first hash, that has X number of zeros in the front of it.

And this burns an incredible amount of electricity. And all for what? Just to show proof of work.

Can't there be a more useful usage of cryptocurrency mining to show proof of work?

Something that is more relevant to humanity. Like protein folding? Or planet hunting? Or pattern analysis? Or something else, that can be used to build an AI brain?
She claimed "studies" showed this. Honestly, I called Kaiser immediately and requested a new PCP and didn't really care to delve into it.

> This is the opposite of what they should have done. Shows just how much of an echo-chamber Facebook has become.

News itself is an echo chamber. Don't see how that is facebook's fault.

The reason news is toxic isn't facebook. It's foxnews, nytimes, wapo and the entire media industry.

Not sure why you think "like" buttons would change that.

The news echo chamber existed before facebook. It existed for zuckerburg was born. It'll exist long after facebook is gone.

The only solution is for facebook to ban news entirely from facebook. But then the news industry would get very upset.
>that completely disregards the actual value of the blockchains

It doesn't. I just think the value of blockchains is near zero. I have yet to hear of any problem that isn't better solved with a normal database.

> Anything that mentions bitcoin mining [...] More demand for video cards is great [...]

Bitcoin mining no longer uses video cards. More demand for bitcoin mining does not translate into more demand for video cards.
If doctors help other medical professionals' family, the professional courtesy. If a lawyer writes a will for a friend, that's just plain neighborly.

If a cop respects another cop's family, that's suddenly corruption? I know; law enforcement is different. But traffic tickets are not quite earth-shaking. They're the flu-shot or will-writing equivalent.

Police face people every day, not very nice people, so we don't have to. Its a great civilizing influence, both for criminals and for folks considering potential vendettas, to know the police will handle it.

But to do their job, officers have to start from a solid foundation. They have to know their families are safe and taken care of, like anybody else. That their community respects them.

It's ethically questionable, of course. But so is writing a will for a friend, or giving free flu shots to the neighbor's kids. Avoiding the expense (and income tax!) and all that.

I've got way better, more important things to worry about than what's at heart, a personal matter for law enforcement officers.
Amazon Prime has a way to "add" channels to your subscription[1]. This is an interesting idea IMHO. I liked the Prime app (which is still worse than Netflix) more than HBO Now and subscribed via Prime. There's a third possible path forward, one where you don't have to subscribe to tens of services and use tens of apps but still get content from a wide variety of providers - one where the content makers don't have to give up their entire catalogue.

I don't know why you are being downvoted. At some point you have to generate cash to justify your valuation. However if you look at amazon they have never generated cash relative to their valuation and its been like 20 something years.

It has returned 10x in the last 10 years so I don't think their investors are complaining.

If you look at google, facebook, and apple they are generating cash that would justify their valuations.

Are you including the cable company's data cap tax of $50-$200+ per month?

These evil megacorps are running people into into the data cap (as streaming quantity/quality increases) and will adjust rates until they're sheering the sheep closer than ever before.

Expect to continue paying more for internet access despite cable company costs plummeting. You can thank the corrupt US gov officials that enable them.

The Expanse is not their content, so it will always take longer to get to Netflix (if it ever shows up).

Amazon had a teaser for The Expanse, and season 1 was free. I ended up buying season 2, because I couldn't find good subtitles for the torrent I downloaded. I did this with Mr Robot, too. I can't hear as well as I used to and subtitles are really important to me.

Is it really isomorphic if Go isn't running in the client?
Thank you! I actually really wanted to read this one but can't afford a subscription at the moment.
That one makes more sense, though. Foreign diplomats basically can't be charged with traffic crimes, and it's generally agreed internationally that this is sort of okay. That's substantially different from a cabal of police officers independently deciding to hand out "special treatment" tokens.
I think it's not K8s-specific but specific to anything when there is an external automated orchestration that can mess with the software at random (schedule and reschedule deployments etc etc).

If you have N servers that are deployed by hand or, better say, with some automation ran by hand - you can be sure things are not moving at random. If you schedule a payload in K8s (or Docker Swarm or whatever) - the scheduler will only ask you for preferences, but will otherwise make decisions on its own. Like deciding to drain a node because disk is getting full or whatever. Or just schedule an updated service to another node because it felt like doing so. And most of software - Postgres included - doesn't have any idea about all of this.

Some of the points raised (like leader election) are not specific to orchestration, but some (like persistent storage for containers) are sort of unique to containerized world. Unless there is a crazy sysadmin who can walk into server room and randomly shuffle drives. :)
A lot of sophisticated financial people share your thinking.

The problem is there's no growth to be found anywhere. People are cheering for 3% GDP growth in the US. Interest rates are at all-time historical lows, meaning discount rates are lower than they've ever been.

These macro trends have added up to an environment where people are willing to pay staggering premiums for even a remote shot at growth. It's affecting every asset class from real estate to public market equity to early-stage startups to commodities, and you aren't the only one who's worried about it (I am).

"isomorphic" came from the JS community using it as a buzzword meaning that the same code runs on the client and server side and can be shared or reused.
> Actually he decided to lift a ban on Crude Oil exports. The oil from shale and fracking that flooded the markets in the past years.

Obama's admin was more tempered when it came to oil+gas+petrol+coal.

The admin increased exports, but it also restrained oil exploration in US waters (especially after Deepwater Horizon) and didn't open exploration to most of Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) or just rubberstamp the Keystone XL pipeline (ironically the smaller Keystone pipeline had a fairly large spill the same week as the Trump admin approved the Keystone XL).

That's not to say that the Obama Admin was nearly as "anti-oil" as it was portrayed in conservative-biased news. They were remarkably accommodating when the cost-benefit analysis was positive for the country.
We have state (e.g. state troopers, highway patrol) and federal police (FBI) as well. Pretty much all except for those on traffic duty carry guns, however.

> There's not much balance - there are tons of people working to install solar panels, and very few producing them. He's harming the former and probably won't do much for the latter, long term.

Except that quite a few of the cheaper Chinese-made solar panels have shorter lifetimes than the American-made ones did.

Consequently, installers have started getting burned because they are getting warranty claims much sooner than they should be. And, of course, the supplier of the Chinese panels is long gone. And most of the American suppliers have been driven out of business by the cheaper prices--which means the installers can't switch to more reliable panels.

Now, do I think Trump thought about any of this? Not even slightly.

However, because solar panels are durable goods (or perhaps you prefer "capital expense") the calculus is a bit more complicated than just "cheaper is gooder".
Wow, what bullshit. Scientific American has achieved a new low in irresponsible science writing.
Yes, my mother has that phone (I recommended it) not only does it still get updates it also has a small form factor with the latest one in that family being the iPhone SE. Downside is its expensive to get a battery replacement, and you're probably due after 4,5 years.

Just because phones run an old Android version, doesn't mean no patches get backported. For example, the official firmware for FP2 runs Android 6 with a patchlevel of (last time I checked) Dec 5.

Furthermore, other "postmarket OSes" such as LOS already extend life. The problem with these is firmware updates for chips, and hardware bugs.
That’s a really interesting addition to app engine. Great idea too - try to be first to an up and coming platform rather than try to move applications that have deployed in one way for a decade.
