For the most part he actually does a good job staying away from personal attacks. The problem is that his approach isn't going to yield great results. For there's 2 problematic parts to this e-mail.

The first is the personal attack when he calls Intel engineers morons. That 1 little unnecessary addon is uncalled for because it's quite reasonable that there's a lot of politics going on at Intel that's interfering with the engineering work. Could be that the next chip they're taping out can't be fixed properly without delaying & impacting revenue in a way that execs won't allow. Could be that there's legal reasons whereby Intel's "fix" is desirable from a management perspective to continue their denial of a problem with their chips to win or reduce the costs of the class actions. Or it could be any number of a hundred other reasons that the public isn't privy to.

The second, & this is pure speculation on my part that this didn't happen, is that he should have followed this in an offline discussion with the engineer. This public shaming doesn't do any good & just entrenches the frontline representatives of Intel to be antagonistic with Linus rather than to be his allies. I feel like if Linus wanted to be truly effective here in impacting Intel's direction (especially given their constant need to minimize the scale & scope of this problem) he could have followed up with the engineer off-list & gone "your explanation doesn't make any sense. can you clue me in on what's the motivation behind this approach?". It saves the engineer public embarrassment, it gets him an ally within Intel & it lets him have strategic information on what is motivating Intel engineers (consider - did his finger to nVidia in any way improve relations between Linux & nVidia?). Now if he did that & the answer still wasn't OK then he's free to use his bully pulpit as he wishes, but I suspect it was just instinctive & a build up of his frustration with Intel's handling of this whole matter.

The short answer to your question is yes, we are in a bubble. We are always in a bubble, somewhere. You can usually tell where it is by looking at whatever people are really excited about, and it lasts as long as they continue to be excited, which inevitably is not forever. You can't usually tell when people are going to cease to be excited, which is why timing the tops of bubbles is a fool's errand. It's up to you how much risk you want to take - because everything is a bubble, you can't actually opt out of the game, but you can choose to protect yourself by investing in things that people are unlikely to get significantly more or less excited by. You miss out on the vast majority of gains across the overall market by doing this, though.

It's sort of a metaphor for life: we're born, we grow rapidly, at some point we get boring, and then eventually, with 100% certainty, we die.
>A proper salary is one where the workers can live their lives without worries about money or having to work multiple jobs to make ends meet.

That's lacking enough concrete details to be meaningful. It seems to be 'more than they'll ever need' to meet the criteria of not needing to worry about money.

Do you think one of these managers could live in San Francisco without worrying about money?

20k/annum is enough for someone who owns a house and lives in a low COL area to not worry about money. (one of my friends lives like that and appears to be happier than I)

300k/annum is not enough for a family of 4 living next to Central Park in NYC.

There is no way to decide that people are making a living wage without a centralized definition of living, which most people will disagree with.

It's only a shame that it has to be a country like China that rises up at US' expense, rather than say Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, etc. What happens to global human rights when it's China that has an oversized influence on world politics and when countries start easily accepting extraditions to China (say for criticizing the Chinese leader, which could be a crime there), and many other outcomes like that?

US' track record isn't stellar, especially over the past 2 decades, and in the past decade the US has also taken a backseat in terms of actually protecting humans rights, even during Obama's time, but at least if you discount US' human rights violations in the Middle East, the US has been rather neutral on human rights (read: not positive) elsewhere. China may actually turn things to a negative trend for human rights everywhere else.

The UK under David Cameron had already started to use China as a role model for domestic censorship and surveillance. If China's influence grows, I imagine many other countries will follow UK's lead.
> Do yourself a favour and call it by it's name: the curreny is called Renminbi

I believe you meant to write: "call it by its name".

When in doubt, expand "it's" into "it is". The original would expand to "call it by it is name", helping identify it as wrong.
They are both the biggest sponsors of terrorism then come Turkey and Pakistan. The key difference between Qatar and Saudi Arabia is that Qatar always supports the more extremist faction in every conflict. Saudi Arabia may not do that in every case. For instance, Saudi Arabia funds MB in Syria and supported the revolution against them in Egypt.
>>In June, the European Central Bank announced that it had exchanged €500 million ($611 million) worth of US dollar reserves into yuan securities. This was a small shift—the ECB has €44 billion in foreign exchange reserves

Before declaring fall of USA, blaming Trump for apocalypse and anointing Xi as the new Emperor, lets take step and really see the numbers.

$611 million is a marginal amount when we are talking about foreign reserves, its sure not nothing, the Germans are basically telling Americans hey look what we can do here. Its a passive aggressive move but mostly symbolic.

If they buy more Yuan, and Yuan to Dollar exchange rate gets effected. Walmart needs to shop somewhere else because Chinese goods are not cheap any more.

How do you reconcile with the fact that P/E ratio is still just 56. In 2000, just before the dotcom bubble burst, Nasdaq stocks traded at a staggering price-earnings ratio of 175.

Also, Netflix revenues have been growing at staggering rate too: https://ycharts.com/companies/NFLX/revenues. Remember market responds to change in revenue over time, not the absolute value of revenue. I think it wouldn't be fair to say that stock prices are completely out of sync with revenue growth.

What a strange land. In the UK, I was using public transport and cycling to school by myself from the age of 16. I'm curious, are there large cities in the USA where this can happen? Are there any significant moves by politicians to wean North Americans off cars?

Conversely, are there large cities in other countries that are similar to the US, where this does not happen? I'm going to suspect the Middle East, due to ubiquitous air-conditioning.
The article should be renamed to "Our transportation systems fails the seniors who neglected to build it".

I think that how we perceive/admire? America has greatly declined since Trump.

America has been unable to even talk with America's business, internally in the white house, within Republicans, others (eg. who has the biggest button, NATO, Paris Climate, ...), ... I'm pretty sure he's guilty to everything that is said ( Eg. Russians, money-laundering, paying zero taxes, ...) How do you think such idiocracy is perceived throughout "more serious grown-up" world? There is only one word for it: incompetence.

Worst of all, he really believes he's a genius.

People are downvoting because you're missing the point. The unsafety of the situation is not because of the mode of transport, but because of America's failure to deal with crime.

Here in Germany, crime rates have been declining pretty consistently [1], with homicides and robberies down from "low" to "very low". The thought of getting mugged on the street or on public transit is just absurd to me. I don't know anyone whom it happened to. It's something that happens on CSI, not in real life.

[1] Except for internet-related fraud and Crystal Method abuse (since these are still pretty new), and stuff like unlawful border crossing (because of the refugee situation).

You must be kidding. Humans have changed their environment almost beyond recognition. We may already have broken ourselves, look at birth rates in the most industrialized countries.

There have been 470,000 casualties in Syria. For comparison, that’s more than the US suffered in WW2, and that loss was felt. It’s a colossal humanatarian disaster and very much a war.

That is not to say there aren't honorable and amazing police officera who deal with the worst of society; but our policing force has serious problems beyond even the unbelievably awful militarization and race discrimination.
The spinning in mainstream media is extreme. This is especially a problem nowadays as attention spans are short and only very few people will look into people's actual statements. Furthermore, the selective word use e.g. "controversial" for someone who does not follow the narrative of the news outlet is highly effective in influencing how we feel about that person. Once brand marked with the gateway word, all the negative connections to this word solidify and the association will be more or less permanent and spreads.
> everyone will race to have the same set of (currently) desirable traits

I think it is not the case. Just on Earth you need different traits due to different climates and life conditions. Once we start really colonizing our solar system what makes humans better on some rock will be different for another or just for space: weaker heart, better bone density, some myopia could be useful to limit the currently known effects of 0G.

Unless Kubernetes is killing the container without respecting the shutdown time of the underlying processes, this should not be problem.

Once Kubernetes sends an exit signal to the VM, the VM will start the shutdown of its processes, and everything should terminate gracefully.

It is OK that Kubernetes doesn't know about Elixir processes terminating, because it is not its job. It is the job of the Elixir software to express its start-up and shutdown guarantees. If you don't want the VM to start when you don't have a database connection, then you should start a process right after your connection pool starts and before your endpoint runs that attempts to issue a query and act accordingly.

> They have the additional benefit of not needing extremely expensive new infrastructure for starting a new line.

Only because of the sunk cost of building all those interstates. At some point, you're going to need to repair or rebuild them.

Which makes me wonder: What is the cost of a new kilometer of rail vs. a new kilometer of highway? And which one is cheaper to maintain? I don't have any intuition there.
But in recent years, it also reboots quickly enough that you'd have to be sitting there watching to catch it.
Trams in Milan (such as the orange ones that you can see in San Francisco, built between 1928 and 1932) have been electric since 1901. Until then they were using steam engines outside the city, where they were basically a light railway, and animals inside.
Sorry to hear that your father went through this.

You may care to consider that people get held up in cars, even in their own homes.

If you're really concerned about mugging in public areas, there are basic safety steps that everyone can (should) take. Stick to well lit areas; don't wear headphones; don't use your phone; avoid any situation that doesn't feel right. If possible plan your route. In other words, have your wits about you.

Also, re the non-poor encasing themselves in cars. Crime increases when people perceive an increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots. Does this mean the rich should use footpaths to reduce mugging? Probably not. But it might mean that public transport should get major investment so it's not seen as a shitty option only for the poor. If that's really how it's seen, everyone who has no option but to walk must feel constantly pissed off.
One of the big benefits, indirectly already mentioned, is inflationary controls. Imagine the USD becomes worth less due to an influx of USD into the economy through some economic decision or another. The nice thing about this is that that means it requires more USD to purchase oil. And so countries and end up spending a greater percent of their reserves for the same amount of oil, and also end up taking on even greater amounts of USD to maintain balance.

Currency inflates due to inflated supply -> foreign countries take more of the currency out of supply -> inflation decreases. And it doesn't end there. The additional revenues from the oil producing nations are then invested into US securities and taken completely out of circulation. The vast majority of money is not brought into circulation through printing, but leaving the specifics of creation aside, this -in part- helps buffer any harm caused by the excessive 'printing' of money.

They have a very large studio actually:

> They don't syndicate their shows, they don't sell much merchandise, and they don't sell their "prediction models" or user data.

The OP said "Amazon has assets". But using your argument, Amazon doesn't use any of their assets either, except for themselves.

The point is they have things they could sell that have value if they had to, just like every other public company's assets.

Also, I already suspected you were going on about that one which is very hilarious given the fact that I am the one the two of us who has the ASD diagnosis and you suspect some of your family members have it. Your family members, as it stands, don't have an autism diagnosis.

Furthermore, you're the one who set the standard of the discussion by starting with this flamebait: "From what I gather, some of this is cultural. His country of origin is just generally blunt and direct about things." which is flat out discrimination/racism. The only good thing about it, is that its possibly not harmful. But that doesn't make it not discrimination/racism. I can give countless examples here, but I'll refrain.

There's this saying about pot meets kettle, perhaps consider it before you reply to a post next time.
Google has basically your entire browsing history, and search history. Google then compares that with what is considered normal for a human, and then lets you in if you pass that check.

Of course, if you run IRC bots that scrape Google with a headless browser to implement a .search functionality, and which offer link titling in IRC, and you use a separate bucket of cookies and IP for every IRC bot, your bots now also have a human search and browsing history, and also will pass all ReCaptchas...

I disagree. The concept of infinite objects are essentially object sets with an unknown limit. This represents a general case from which we can draw important concepts.
Out of curiosity, where in NYC is this?

Because I live in Melbourne, Australia, and $200 USD per month is literally what someone pays me and the spousal unit for our car space after conversion from AUD to USD, and I'm not in the CBD, and I'm assuming (i think correctly) car parking is far cheaper here than in new york city...
