It's not just baby advice that is fuzzy, it's baby products as well. Every baby business that is ads-based (from blogs, to registries) festers insecurities in parents, so they can sell ridiculously expensive basic products to make you feel a little better: I just bought the "best" (most expensive) rocker on the market, I will be ok. Google also prioritizes the wrong things in content as well (word count and recency) - so most of the searches lead to the same crap - the same shallow ideas, reiterated with as many words and ads as possible. As a parent with the skills to build, after seeing all of these problems with my first child, I started building a private, actually safe baby registry and vetted ads-free recommendation engine under https://www.dreamlist.com .

The books industry leans on extremes. If it doesn't trigger controversy and insecurity in you, in some way, it doesn't sell. Every child is different and every pregnancy is different. The best source of information so far are medical studies, wherever you can dig them out.
Nothing in that link talks about the “Arakan” people, it is about displaced Roghinya. The original article talked about a Rakhine(?) location.

My experiment with my son will be to take advantage of lack of understanding of false dichotomy. Allow him to choose from preselected options with controlled outcomes. Then hold him accountable for that choice, whatever it means.

I base this on the idea that decision making is a skill, and you build skills by practicing. Well, not necessarily decision making itself, but rather the mental constructs that surround decisions -- weighing alternatives, short- vs long-term planning, etc.

Hopefully, then, when he starts coming up with his own options and breaking the false dichotomy, they'll be well-considered.

"I think everyone's realizing that the solution to various housing crisis is to build more homes for all income levels."

Of course this is correct. However, it is also correct that many, many of these are badly mischaracterized as "crises".

It is not a crisis that you cannot afford to live in Aspen.

It is not a crisis that you cannot afford an apartment in the very specific neighborhood in the very specific borough of New York City that you prefer.

It is not a crisis that you cannot afford to buy a house, with a yard, in Marin County.
That's a very biased interpretation of the very article you quote.

Stratfor, a _private company_, with no connections to the DOJ, had one of its employees say in an internal email seven years ago that they had an indictment.

Based on "conversations" with "people".

In among literally thousands of emails doing little more than smearing Assange and Martin.

And this was in context to Bradley Manning, though no confirmation of the indictment was mentioned in the grand jury.

I have zero love for Assange. Quite a bit of contempt, actually. But it's not particularly verifiable to note that "they" have a "secret" indictment that hasn't been heard of much since a private security firm rumored it seven years ago.

kubeadm only does single master deployments, so it's not useful for production, but minikube is much better IMO for development. (Minikube isn't just a VM wrapper, `minikube --vm-driver=none` works quite nicely for our dev setups).

kubeadm is turning into more of a building block: minikube and kubespray are using it.
Yeah, it's almost like they should use some sort of peer-to-peer distribution system to allow scalable distribution of their content...
Not right now! I wonder if that's doable here.
> was a good strategy, no?

Yes. Assange is most assuredly to be applauded for his wise strategizing in running from accusations.
> So if you’re enforcing unique email addresses, or using email addresses as a user identifier, you need to be aware of this and you probably need to strip all dot characters from the local-part, along with + and any text after it, before doing your uniqueness check. Currently django-registration doesn’t do this, but I have plans to add it in the 3.x series.

This is needlessly user-hostile. If users wish to use mailbox extensions to have multiple unique accounts, that's their right. They can always get multiple different email accounts, after all.

He doesn't mention the one thing he ought to do, which is to strip email addresses of comments before checking them: (foo)jdoe@example.com, jdoe(bar)@example.com, jdoe@example.com, jdoe@(home)example.com & (a (nested (comment)))jdoe(more)@example.com(all done) are all the same email address.
Yes, this 1870's french is pretty alien. But unlike Verne, it's aliens/alienation are real not fictional.

Ignoring the florid preface by the series editor, Tresch's introduction is legible enough, and his translation of Michel seems pretty comprehensible too.

Michel's is clearly a period piece, heavily stylized as a political / motivational screed, but fascinating nonetheless. I do wonder if "Every Society..." ever existed or if it's her invention. Clearly Octave Obdurant is at best a nom de guerre/plume.

It's a great phrase nonetheless and worthy of both note and remembrance. Nice catch, OP.

I hear ya. I am also in the process of a career shift brought about by our change in priorities after our son was born. The unfortunate thing is that I am losing some of my schedule flexibility (at least in the near term), but the reason for our (coast to coast) move is to be closer to immediate family so that they can also be a more involved part of our son's life.

It's really amazing to me how this child has changed us and our lives. Not to say that my wife and I expected the kid to pop out and life to return to business as usual, just that I didn't truly comprehend how profoundly this experience would change me. It's intense.

I've been DIT for two large unicorns ($Bs) with the pull to do whatever I wanted. Both times we stayed with MacBooks because simply buying a single razerbook is like funding an indegogo campaign. We gave up trying to get one when they told us it would be like this for every purchase and at both companies we purchase over 100/month

Yup, a lot of piracy-oriented products use Kodi e.g. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/02/five-suspects-ar... But putting Kodi itself on the list is like putting Xerox on a list of elementary-school textbook piracy companies.

Well, they are excited because the speaker performs excellently. I suspect many audiophiles will wait until they can get it to work in stereo, but when it does, the reviews should be the same since it’s just two of the same.

Also, I doubt most audiophiles would use it as their primary listening source, but it may be the perfect solution for additional listening areas.
have you heard of the housing accountability act? The law was strengthened last year to protect you from having your project denied for arbitrary reasons. I'd reach out to CaRLA (california renters legal advocacy fund, http://www.carlaef.org/), and/or victoria fierce on twitter
It was everybody. The breach was total. No point in assuming anything less.

When I reached the age of reason, I asked my boomer parents (a mental health practitioner and a corporate V.P.) if they really thought there was a book that had every answer they'd need as parents. "Of course," they replied.

But as a former subject of the material, I can tell you they definitely didn't have all the answers. As privileged and intelligent as they were, they still fucked up. But I'm also not dead, and on the whole I'm only mildly traumatized by the unnecessary drugs and suffocating restriction on personal freedom and privacy. So I really don't care about what kind of baby advice they intoned, and I don't think parents should care either. Just keep the little bastard alive until it can move out on its own, so you can have a whole new world of worries to consider.
I do, because I only have to find the disk once to rip it. From then on I don't have to get off the couch!
It is sort of the problem with secret indictments though, they are secret. So absence of proof is not the same as proof of absence.
A few people I know just check out movie from the local Library on DVD and Blueray, rip them and then watch them from Plex.
You can also compare http://www.templetons.com/brad/robocars/ (which he started writing years ago when self-driving car technology was still at a considerably earlier stage). It contains a whole lot of predictions about these impacts.

I appreciate that Brad also thought about the negative parts, which some writers on the subject don't examine in as much detail:

How did he feel the issue had been closed? He'd not even been interviewed in any way, shape or form. Someone makes an accusation against him, they don't interview him, and just close the issue and he wanders on his life, and only then do they trick him into having to seek refuge?

That's more than a little whitewashed, to me.
And blockchains achieve that at an immense cost, which is the point of the discussion. Decentralised systems are less efficient (orders of magnitude less for proof of work) and it's debatable whether that is necessary in the real world, where trust exists for the majority of applications.
You illustrate my point exactly, it's not that complicated. I have two young men that my wife and I raised without (GASP) the need of a book. Crazy, I know.. go ahead and mod this comment down also.

Interesting. I note it's from 2012 but guess could still be current. Thank you for supplying the link.

Again though, seems odd they would need to keep it sealed. I wonder what Assange would actually want to do regards to what would happen after he leaves the embassy (legal issues aside). I can't think there are many countries that would allow him entry, bar Ecuador and possibly Russia. Most likely Russia I'd assume as he seems on good terms with Russian media (thinking of his RT show)
Fun Story:

I decided i wanted to be able to VNC into my home computer while I was at work for various reasons. I fwd'd port 5900 from my router to my pc and would just point my VNC client at work to my home IP. This worked well for a really long time until one night I came home, turned my PC on and discovered a crypto miner running and upon checking my webhistory my g-mail account, lastpass vault and pretty much every other account I had had been accessed and drained. Checked Windows system logs and saw the guy got in through VNC, even though i had a reasonably complex password and secure connection enabled. How does this protect me against people using stuff like shodan or masscan from finding my connection details and bruteforcing the pw?

When I briefly was a subscriber to FREE internet in France, I was amused to see that their cable box came with a Bittorrent client enabled by default, despite some strong anti-piracy laws on the books in France.
The major BitTorrent clients have an option to prioritize files pieces in-order, which works well for streaming with a player such as VLC or MPV.
This is part of what I don't understand; directionality of sound is a concept understood to be in reference to the listener (or point of measurement). So what exactly is the homepod doing? Since the listener could always be moving within the room is it dynamically tracking and adjusting? I assumed it just optimized the sound for the room in a more generalized sense (i.e eliminating weird reflections, dead spots, etc)
When it comes to email address normalization, it sounds like we could do with a standardized way for a domain to express normalization policies.

Could be as simple as publishing a set of regular expression subsitution rules, specifying (for example):

* render to lower case (because this particular domain is case insensitive)

* drop periods (because this domain treats them like gmail does)

* drop '+' and any subsequent characters (because this domain treats them like gmail does)

* ASCII only (because mail software is old, and doesn't support unicode)

Etc.

Each domain could then publish their own rule, perhaps in a DNS txt record, and anyone needing to check if two email addresses alias to the same could run the correct checks.
I think it depends which side of the fence you were on before we passed amendment 64. CO has always been a purple state, I get the feeling you consider yourself red/conservative/etc and are noticing the red:blue ratio swing against you.

I cannot say I share your concerns for a number of reasons. Locally, as in at the city level, we fight the old guard regularly just to pass enough taxes to keep our infrastructure from crumbling entirely. We have to fight the old guard just to have enough taxes to keep the street lights on in the summer, to put our police officers in cars newer than a decade old.

The new folks, us young folks, don't have a problem with a lot of these, we see the value in our police officers having modern vehicles, in our streets and storm water systems being maintained (and avoiding costly lawsuits in the latter case), in the value for my community safety and other people's families to have lights on in neighborhood past 6 PM during the summer for Pete's sake. We're the ones at the city hall meetings fighting grandma, and her racism, and her NIMBYism, and her staunch refusal to pay for any of the public services she takes advantage of. So I struggle to see what politics have been changed for the worse.

Oh, Oh, and after a few record breaking years for wild fires, guess if it was the old guard (who wants to bust up the state forests and lands for fracking) or the new guard (who are generally more conservationist) who voted we shouldn't allocate more budget to fire fighting@. Gosh, that certainly will not bite us after a dry winter when the US forest service predicted an even worst wild fire season this year. Oh no how the budget will suffer and the old guard will make it seem like this was completely unavoidable and unpredictable. @edit: at the state level

I take a personal ire with your baseless comment since I live in what's historically been known as the hate capital of the west; located right here in friendly Colorado. So, in my opinion, if the KKK and some of these rather bigoted church congregations have their ideals and their politics dragged out into the light of society and can't survive it good riddance.

So please, please tell me what politics the Californians (and somehow I hear; Elite West Coast Liberals in there, if not Libruls) have brought us that made our state oh so terrible over these past few years.
From what I overhear from discussions between download enthusiasts, a large fraction will even remain unwatched, just feeding a collector habit.

>>Smari McCarthy, a member of the Icelandic parliament for the Pirate Party, tweeted: "Cryptocurrency mining requires almost no staff, very little in capital investments, and mostly leaves no taxes either.

Replace "cryptocurrency" with any other technology service and you'll probably be left with the same net result. The datacenter is presumably charging for the co-location services, so there's certainly tax revenue and the operational jobs (as few as they are) to run the facilities that benefits Iceland.
What's more interesting to me is using BitTorrent not for pirated movies but as a content distribution system enabling more free services like Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a super heavily visited website, so must pay a lot for hosting. They manage to pay for it all with donations, but other sites can't.

For example: What if Open Access journals used peer to peer for nearly-free content distribution? That'd allow the open access publication fee to be basically eliminated, and what costs are left could be handled by donations.

"Sounds very dystopian. Did not meet state's goals."

This is worth considering.

I find it despicable that otherwise liberal, progressive people are willing to immediately discard democratic results simply because they dislike them.

There is nothing unconstitutional (CA) or unlawful about "NIMBY policies". However you may feel about them, they are valid, lawful policy goals in a democracy.

If you don't like them, you should organize to defeat them democratically.

BitTorrent is going nowhere. Some uses are being - temporarily or not, we'll see - less popular. It remains critical.
It is not obvious that those problems are solvable, nor is it obvious that they're solvable in a way that doesn't simply recreate existing systems. And even if they are solvable, there's no lower bound on when that will occur.

And cars from the early 1900s may very well have been unsuitable to to the purposes for which they were employed in the early 1900s. You can't ask people to build their businesses and trust on a foundation that will "maybe" be poured "sometime" in the future.

You cherry-pick cars in the 1900s while failing to ignore all of the early 1900s technology that didn't succeed because there was no way to improve it. None of that was obvious then, either.
Yeah, this is really useful. I think it'll break on single quotes: `notes we'll need oranges tomorrow`, but otherwise, it's a very low-friction method, to me.

Until the EU want to do a new trade deal with the US, and the US decides it wants to co-opt your legal framework to enforce its commercial appropriation of European culture, history and stories through Disney and Hollywood. And then you'll be getting lots of enforcement.

The whole copyright thing is just a US export thing, as soon as it becomes a problem for them, they'll force the EU to make it a problem for you too.

The amount of money that you can spend on a child is virtually unlimited. But almost all of it absolutely optional.

Sure, you’ll need diapers and a car seat, but beyond that there’s not a lot that’s absolutely necessary.

There’s so much stuff that people think they need to buy, ranging from special vitamins during pregnancy to hypoallergenic formula and baby swimming lessons and educational toys for every age bracket...

And then you realise that people who make half the money you do get along just fine and their kids are doing fine and somehow they only need half as much money.

Sure, we do spend a lot of money on semi-useful kids stuff (like those skiing lessons that our older son didn’t want to continue after the second day...), but it’s all optional, and if we didn’t have kids I’d probably have a nicer car, but who cares.
Curious, how does your setup work that you need to do that? Don't they allow changing the cert without disabling the domain?
> The problem is that in politics you get called Isolationist as soon as you suggest sometime a little out of the 'allowed opinion' stream.

That's not my experience.

> Many so called 'isolations' are not against building a bunker around the US and doing nothing.

That may be so. But many of them are. You can't build yourself up as the policeman of the world and then within the space of 6 months do a full 180 on that policy without getting called out on it.

> The United Nations for example can easily be engaged in even if you are against most US foreign policy.

Yes, but there are more ways to do this and the present day administration seems to have thrown 50 years of built up credit out with the remaining bathwater. Note that it is easy to destroy a reputation, it is very hard to put it back together again.

> This 'global view' was basically about building a global order that the US could control.

Agreed. But now we're headed towards a global order that the US definitely won't be able to control with China and Russia as dominant poles and the United States voting 'present' or even taking sides with Russia. This is going to have some significant consequences none of which will be pleasant.

> I[t] was just another view about what [is] in Americas best interest by a different group of elites.

That may be so. But the price for that changing viewpoint will not be paid by Americans.

Because the USA has an antiquated banking system, resistant to change.

My bank in New Zealand has instant clearing to accounts within the same bank, and hourly clearing to other banks. I can transfer money from my Australian account to my New Zealand account using TransferWise within 3 hours, or 2 working days if I use the international transfer service offered by my bank.

One problem with America is that you have so many small banks and credit unions, a small town might have its own bank, that nobody is willing to standardise and agree on new standards. This is why Americans still use cheques, and why adoption of contactless payment using debit/credit cards, as well as chip+PIN (or even swipe+PIN) has been so slow.

Contactless payment is so ubiquitous in Australia and New Zealand that I've had to insert my card literally once all year.

Australia only has half a dozen main banks, which service >90% of the population. For whatever economic implications that has (too big to fail etc.), it has been great for encouraging innovation.
