I'm curious if there's a use case or edge scenario I'm not aware of that noout does not cover. I can't say I've got exhaustive testing for this, but when performing maintenance on a ceph cluster I ran at a previous employer, "ceph osd set noout" before maintenance did exactly what it is documented to do and prevented rebalancing while OSDs were stopped. Despite my poor memory, I'm pretty confident about that, because at least one upgrade I performed did end up requiring some data migration (I believe it was migrating from straw to straw2 bucket type), and we only made that change after all nodes were successfully upgraded.

http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/troubleshooting/troub...

My memory is generally quite poor, but I vaguely recall this feature being present for as long as I've been familiar with Ceph. I obviously have no way of knowing what happened in that meeting you were in, and maybe the other people who were proposing using Ceph were not very familiar with performing maintenance on it, or maybe there was other constraint or use case they had in mind, but I'm quite confident in saying that the normal case for Ceph maintenance involves only a very marginal amount of data movement (to bring the temporarily-down OSD back up-to-date with changes that occurred while it was down).

I used to do that but I got burned more than a few times.

The question remains what really happened. One possibility is that Levandowski and Uber really did have a plan to steal Waymo's technology, but then didn't actually use it. Like maybe it wasn't as good as Uber thought it would be, or for some other reason they didn't adopt it.

The reason I say they didn't use it is if they had, then it would still be there in Uber's technology, and it would be easy for Waymo to prove that in court, and so they would have had no motive for settling.

The other possibility is that it was never planned to be an IP theft. Maybe Uber payed so much just because it was desperate to hire Levandowski.

But then the question is why Levandowski copied the files. His explanation that it was to guarantee he got his bonus doesn't make much sense, and so it seems pretty sure he invented it after the fact when he got caught. But maybe he was just being irrational at the time and that really was his reason, or maybe he had some other odd reason for doing it. I mean, it is pretty clear he is a person with, shall we say, "non-standard" ways of thinking about things.

I wonder if we will ever learn what the true story was.

I wish people would quit peddling the "rolling release means less stable" trope because it's simply untrue. Many rolling release distros tend to be bleeding edge, _thats_ why they might be unstable (though honestly I've never had ArchLinux crash for any reason that wasn't my own fault). What's more, CentOS and Debian do sometimes have updates they require configuration changes. That's why Debian likes to separate out base config files from ones that are likely to change. So you can put your preferential overrides in a .local (iirc) file and the master version is free to be upgraded. Eg This is how fail2ban works on Debian.
Yes, if you cherry pick all time highs (2001) then you can claim they've lost since then. Picking a second case (1979) and oddly comparing it to 2014 instead of 2016 is equally misleading.

Instead of cherry-picking dates to suit a narrative, looking at all data, the 2016 income was higher than any year back to 1966 except the 3 years 1999,2000,2001. So of the 50ish years in the data, 2016 ranks in the top 4, and is 96% of the all time high. The trend since the recession is increasing, and if not for the recession, would probably be at all time highs. I would not be surprised if once 2017 or 2018 numbers were in all time values will be reached.

So yes, wages are increasing.

One reason low end stays mostly flat is it includes all people just starting careers, who have no skills, so it's not unreasonable that the inflation adjusted value they provide is not tremendously increased. Looking at values over this time frame also needs demographics figured in for this reason, and as the workforce becomes younger, wages are expected to become lower, while each individual person at point X in a career still has higher wages. Census reports cover this.

Remember avg wages are static snapshots of a moving cohort.

I've had a similar experience. Living in the city, I'm livid whenever I find that they left a package on the doorstep of my building, which very clearly has no lock on the garden gate. I've not had a package stolen yet, but how do you just leave it in plain sight and walk away, as a delivery person?

But one time, I got a "delivered" notification but couldn't find it, and none of my neighbors brought it in. I finally found it after digging into the "delivered" order information and finding a picture they sent of my package behind a bush, up against the wall of my building, completely hidden. I thought it might just be a one-off thing, but I honestly wish they would always do this, so long as they tell me where it is. I'd rather have to play hide-and-seek than have to be home all day to get a delivery.

>> Compared with Debian or Red Hat, Gentoo is really a meta-distribution. It's a nice basis for creating your own distribution.

> I do not want that on my production server. We're in the $SOME_BACKEND_SERVICE business, not in the distro creating business.

A lot of companies know that Google and Facebook have their own distros. Ergo, to become as successful, they too must build their own distro.
Here's how it looks like from my side as a seller.

1. Buyer places order, order goes into pending for anywhere from minutes to days

2. While order is pending, units of inventory are moved to another fulfillment center

3. Once the units arrive, are received and checked-in, the order goes live

4. The customer receives their order two days later

I suspect this happens 1. for items less often purchased which have little historical data to rely on, and 2. items which have been freshly received and haven't yet been distributed across the US.

I am a very small time Amazon 3p seller, so I might be able to answer some questions you have about Amazon or FBA.

Levandowski was fired from Uber, is still in arbitration with Waymo, and possibly has a federal investigation pending against him (which is why he has, and was planning to, take the fifth amendment). I'm not sure how it "paid off" here.

This is absolutely untrue.

There are many many jobs that are effective people doing data analysis in excel spreadsheets.

The people doing this data analysis by hand can greatly improve their ability to do their jobs through simple things like learning how excel macros work. This is programming!

There are tons of low handing fruit in the world, where basic tasks that are being done by hand, could easily be automated by the people doing it, through very simple, easy, "toy" solutions.
Totally agree with you. I was just wondering, as I have never seen an Amazon box actually have the "fragile" warning label on it, and didn't know if they even did that.

You would assume the weight of the customers monitor would tell any reasonable delivery driver not to drop the package 6 feet, regardless of what the box says.
Small correction: Soros primarily supports pretty mainstream centrist liberal organizations. Stuff like the ALCU, pro-choice organizations, immigrant rights groups, mainstream minority advocate groups, public health and environmental advocacy groups. It is quite a stretch to call it "hard-left" unless your personal Overton window is so far extreme right that you think Jeb Bush is a revolutionary communist.

He definitely funds causes right wingers and Republicans oppose, but let's get the taxonomy correct here.

He is solidly liberal, not left. Think NAACP, not black lives matter. Hillary Clinton, not Bernie Sanders. The Democratic National Committee, not the Democratic Socialists of America.

I'm not convinced it's as black and white as that. Look at the example given (Rocket Ismail). Not to pick on an individual, but he doesn't seem to be taking responsibility for any of his losses, even with the supposed "hindsight" he now enjoys:

-"One of his advisers pitched the idea as"fail-proof, with no downsides," Ismail recalls. He never recouped his money and has no idea what became of the restaurant."

-(COZ Records) "The guy was a real good talker," says Rocket

-(Cosmetics) "We were not prepared for the sharks in the beauty industry"

-(Retail stores) "The main store opened up in New Orleans, but doggone Hurricane Katrina came two months later". The shops no longer exist.

What strikes me about these examples is they're all supposedly somebody else's fault.

To my mind, what isn't being taught (both to young athletes, and to the population in general) isn't so much personal finance, but personal responsibility.

No they are not. Sure, they have different art styles, some different mechanics, but they are the two largest Battle Royale games out right now. The only games I would consider to be closer to PUBG than Fortnite are perhaps H1Z1 and the Arma mod (that PUBG devs made).

Picking less than half the country population, ignoring the high end, treating small growth as insignificant, then complaining that the result is not the growth you wish it were, is terrible analysis.

Instead of picking 2 dates out of 50, look at all dates. 2016 was the highest avg for the lowest quintile for all years back though 1967 except 1999,2000,2001. So out of 50, its #46, at 96% of all time high, has been increasing since the recession, and is headed to record highs. The same trend is true of each quintile.

> saying all applications should set it to SystemLookAndFeel would be wrong
You've correctly understood the nontrivial costs involved in trying to use Gentoo on production servers, and correctly understood that the benefits aren't relevant to your personal use-cases, or the most-common use-cases for production distributions in most industries.

I don't at all read your parent as asserting that all production deployments should make use of a meta-distribution like Gentoo, but instead describing the specialized features that are useful for some specific niches. If you have some business reason to want to run arbitrary combinations of different versions of different software together, or to more-easily manage distributing software to your platform with many different features that you sometimes want compiled out, or otherwise if a slow stable extremely-reliable distribution isn't handling your needs, you might want to consider using Gentoo instead of building all that infrastructure yourself.

That's not the case for you, or for me, and that's fine. You've described some of the reasons I also prefer a stable well-supported distribution and don't use Gentoo. My reading of your comment is saying that because you personally have no use for the benefits, therefore Gentoo is completely unsuitable for any production use ever. If I've misread your comment, and you were just commenting on your personal use cases without trying to speak to any general audience, I apologize for my mischaracterization.

I’ve been in a bunch of SCIFs but they were all downrange in centcomia and basically were tents or sections of a warehouse with a bored-looking dude with an m4 checking IDs and passes before letting people through a tent flap or plywood door. That is really only permitted under contingency ops rules and required treating the entire base as a perimeter, then a compound with itself higher security, etc. There was enough physical separation from likely threats that it was still mostly ok.

Of course, people still had to be repeatedly counseled for plugging the same USB flash drives from personal movies/internet/etc systems into red (S) and orange (TS) systems. It was sad.

Realistically security countermeasures adapt to the likely threats. In Iraq and Afghanistan the technical sophistication of the adversary in terms of SIGINT/ELINT was poor, so they rightly decided giving up security for wider distribution of information with friendly forces was the right call.
