Technically yes, but due to how first generation Bluray players will never have updates to their DRM keysets, there have been extremely few discs that chose to employ new keys.

This may become a thing for 4k Blurays (since all 4k Bluray players are long since compliant with the over-the-internet key updating mechanism), but unlikely because most manufacturers still refuse to update anything after warranty ends.

Ergo, the Bluray industry doesn't want to tie themselves to a model where people have to buy new players every 3 years: people will just stop buying discs instead.

The other OTHER side of this is: the disc is dead. Most people own very few discs, only of their absolute favorite movies they want in a high quality copy or for the few people who are bothering with 4k content (since most people still do not have enough internet to stream it); so why rock the boat, just let the format play itself out.
Hussein began selling oil for Euros shortly before the US invaded in 2003, Gadaffi was looking to sell oil for gold shortly before the US decided 'more freedom' was in order.

Might just be a happy coincidence, but the petrodollar is a huge part of the US Dollar's value.
There's always a shortage of people who contribute to society with generosity and wisdom. But not many such heads end up in liquid nitrogen tanks, methinks.
Oil is not what caused the food shortages, it's what allowed the government to convince everyone their policies were working during the good times, while they depleted their cash reserves to cover the massive unsustainable hole their radical social policies were burning in their pocket.

Food shortages were a result of government enacted price controls, expropriation of farmland, and centralization of financial markets. Which subsequently disrupted local food production, scared away foreign imports, and reduced access to critically needed foreign currency.

No country can produce ALL of their own food. Imports are a necessity, even for socialist countries. Artificially reducing prices, fucking over all of your domestic business talent, and severely limiting foreign currency is a (predictable) recipe for a massive food crisis.

Venezuela suffered persistent food shortages well before the oil "crisis" (as early as 2002-2003) [1] ...meanwhile every other non-socialist petrol-state has bounced back from the crisis, EXCEPT Venezuela.

When Chavez came to power he announced "capitalism was dead" to the cheers of farmers. Those farmers are now starving and flooding over the border to Colombia whose "capitalist" food markets offer both greater variety and far greater supply. The oil crisis merely exposed the complete failure of their "modern" economic system.

Yet the Venezuelan government continue to blame the west for all of their failures. And local "hoarders" and "speculators" for food shortages [2].

It's obvious that looking in the mirror and admitting personal responsibility would be political suicide for the pseudo-dictators and all of their corrupt friends.

>>The reasons it's disruptive could be due to companies / culture in general not being flexible and accommodating enough to motherhood.

That's a pretty critical view of things. I think a more objective view is that motherhood is costly for the mother in time and attention, and generally reduces the time and effort she puts into her career.

Whether people operating in the business world should be encouraged or forced to give preferential treatment to mothers so that motherhood doesn't become a career disadvantage is an open question. One could argue it would be unfair to those women who choose to forego or forestall motherhood to dedicate more time to their careers.

According to https://www.fs.lmu.de/angebot, this server hosts

* a bunch of wordpress pages

* mailing lists

* mail server for council adresses, likely mostly unused

* git server

for a few student councils at LMU. Git is likely used only by the CS council, maybe maths and physics.

Is it really necessary to have 3 * 12TB for this, and all this complexity? Fault tolerance? Gentoo? Would a single server running boring software and occasional backups not have been more appropriate for something like this? To me it looks like a few CS students tasked with managing digital went completely overboard.

obviously it's about overall design, and is asking based on your educated opinion
Dedicated game servers are only part of the problem. The matchmaking/community-connecting servers were also implicated in the outages discussed in TFA.

Community/matchmaking servers don't distribute ("run your own server") too well. If you only ever want to play with and against people you know, that's fine, but a lot of people don't want that: some want to play on randomized (or ranked, if the game supports it, across a large number of players; not just the ones in the potentially-altered rankings on a single person's server) teams. Others (more commonly) want to play against new and different teams.

Unless your graph of social connections willing to agree to use a given server is big enough and the right shape, hosting your own matchmaking/community services just results in isolated islands without a vibrant overarching community.

Put another way: the separate-server approach of e.g. TF2 works fine for some, but a lot (judging by play counts) of other folks prefer games with a centralized community.

To be clear, I think it's fine to have the option of a separate community server. But if a game developer already has the centralized infrastructure, is making tons of money off of it, and spending tremendous resources keeping it intact (as Epic apparently is), it's a pretty tough sell to say "oh and you should also spend the resources to make a hosted option for this".

"Take the complex thing designed for centralized, single-instance internal use with a team of support staff, put it in a box, and let users run it on their own hosts" is far from a simple proposition.

I'm unsure if any companies doing centralized community servers/community federation also have a large portion of their actual game servers not hosted by the company; I'd love some examples of that phenomenon. The examples of Minecraft and TF2 come to mind as doing some subparts of that, but those games only have limited matchmaking capabilities.
The population of Asia is at the same level today: between 4 and 4.5 billions, and while there is quite a lot of immigration relatively speaking, you don't see hundred of millions of immigrants. That's partly because the economy has soared at the same time as the population. And the same reasons who are slowing down Africa's population growth (rise of education) should increase its economic growth.

It's difficult to see now of course because Africa is more unstable and fragmented than East Asia. But a lot of countries in Subsaharian Africa are not worse off than China in the 1990s and have a promising gdp growth rate (not as big as China yet, though)
It is mainly because PUBGs network code sucks. You can see the effects here [0]

Unless you had dial-up users, a tickrate of 12 is very bad and not fun. I don't know if you had hardware restrictions, but tickrate is independent of updaterate that is sent to the clients. By enforcing a low tickrate you maintain a very old snapshot of the world on your server (83 ms), which makes clients interpolate more.

Right. They extracted a fairly measly amount of money from Uber but more importantly they extracted a commitment that Uber would go the extra mile to prove they weren't making use of any of Waymo's IP.
Really good stores and salespeople are magic and I totally buy into their illusion.

I love going to the Gucci store it's kind of the pinnacle of service you can't get online. 1:1 salesperson follows you and helps pick out pieces and pull sizes, usually with sparkling water to take your time. As you mention you can build a relationship past one transaction. They always compliment: you look great, good fit, makes you look skinny, etc. Really good salespeople pick up on your style and provide actual good direction. Sometimes I'll get this is the last size we have in the US type tactic, which for most stores would be total BS to me right away but for them I almost buy it (Gucci does intentional small runs to sell out now it seems).

The psychology of it works (for me at least) even if you know they're tricking you to spend more (less deceitful hard to describe, like massaging you with dopamine into spending more $)!

That's the magic. I always go in with one specific item in mind that I researched online but never leave with just one thing...

If you had said for as often as your working 12 hour days you're spending time away from the office, you might actually convince someone. But sitting at work playing games on your phone is not really a job perk that most people would trade for.

I'm lucky that at my current job, despite legally being exempt, we actually get overtime. If I want to work more hours one night and go in late the next day I will do that. But if the company needs me to work after hours or on weekends, then they should pay overtime.

I see that the logs and analysis will be open to everyone. I guess that's equivalent to using Travis, CircleCI, etc. on their free/open tiers. But API logs and analysis like Skylight performs can have much more unpredictable and sensitive info in them than test/build logs.

Does this mean that all private fields needs be scrubbed in-app, before Skylight? For example, a hosted OSS service that includes e-mail addresses or location data in API query strings.

For me and I think most people the smartphone is a way of connecting with other people. The need to check it is a need to see what your mates are saying in a conversation - the electronic gizmo is just a conduit.

Anyway, I agree with his comment but for a different reason: government "research" isn't historically trustworthy. Any psychedelics research sponsored by the government, directly or indirectly, is going to end up like marijuana research[0] and like research into alternative therapies[1]. Of course, they will continue coming up with opposite findings for drugs that lobbyists can profit from, like SSRI's. The FDA is able to literally pick and choose studies that work for them[2].

I don't think I could disagree with this post any more than I do.
My experience mostly overlapping in time in Colorado where I went to 2 high schools. The one was the bad one with fights in the halls and mostly poor kids that did not offer any accounting/finance/home economics. The good school with wealthier families had an optional accounting course which I took and it covered checkbooks and interest and we even had to read credit card fine print in one class. (The teacher looked out for her students even helped get me a job working for a CPA part time).

Kinda sad how it works out that the ones that needed it more didn't have access. A little microcosm of America I guess.
"Impala" != "IMPALA", and the domain is very different: "distributed database" vs "RL agent with game zoo", nobody's going to meet one in the same space as the other, to create confusion.
I see what you're saying, and I didn't learn a lot of those specifics in school either (or actually I'm pretty sure I leaned some of them but have forgotten and had to learn again, which is basically my larger point). I'm not sure that I agree that we should be dedicating time in school to things as specific as what you listed (but maybe I could be convinced!). It seems to me that the few kids that would actually pay enough attention to a class like that to remember anything 3-5 years later when they have to start using it would find that much of it had become obselete (like your balancing check book example.) Almost everything you listed about credit cards is written in the forms you have to sign to get one anyway, if people aren't reading that I doubt a class from years earlier will help.

I do remember the first time I considered buying stocks that I literally had no idea how to do it. Like - who do I give my money to in exchange for a piece of a company? Absolutely no idea. I feel like the Internet has pretty much solved that problem though.

The luxury apartments of yesterday became the affordable apartments of today.

Most affordable housing activists either don't understand or outright disbelieve that such filtering is possible. They're also somewhat impatient, so they want to see brand new yet affordable housing get built.

Unfortunately, because urban housing was uncool for decades virtually all urban housing tends to be either very old and run-down, recently remodeled and expensive, or recently built and expensive. There are no decent-yet-affordable 20-30 year old downtown apartments/condos.
I'm pretty sure the "programmer ladder" you refer to looks like this:

manager
| |
programmer

Smaller companies don't really have the budget for a team of programmers, so if you continually work for only those kinds of companies, you're going to be either the only programmer, or one of a few. If you're one of a few, then you have an opportunity to offer guidance.

On the other hand, you say that you're "not interested ... in doing another less technical role ...". But leadership is not technical. SOoOooo.... you're in a bit of a conundrum, but I think it's because of the way you've defined your terms.

Also, in your reply to jingnanzhou, you complain about being "out of the loop." Here's the thing: No one in a "superior" position to you is ever going to share financial information about their business with you, their lowly programmer. That's what they have accountants for. So you've got to stand up for yourself.

And I think that's really what your post is getting at. You're not being respected for your work, and you're feeling stifled. You've got to push yourself out of your comfort zone, and be willing to engage in some low-intensity conflict at your job to get your needs met.

Part time sysadmin here (founder, so biz duties, dev duties, PM and product duties, so not a ton of time for sysadmin stuff) and I've had no major problems with ceph.

I run a three node 18 osd ceph cluster and it's been no problem. I may eat my words when I do a rolling upgrade from Firefly to jewel (multiple versions) but not dreading that process much.

I don't understand why people are complaining about docs here. The docs are good. Read them, read config options, read until you understand what config options actually do.
