> Having no-down-time when doing migrations is not an easy topic.

Depending on the nature of the migration and the type of data and the type of service and how coupled everything is, it's impossible. Especially when you are dealing with financial data and transactions that you can't afford to screw up even a single one.

> I usually vote for having some planned non-working-hours downtime.

Yep. No other way around it. You tell your clients weeks/months ahead of the planned downtime. They'll understand and migrate in the middle of the night over a holiday weekend.

But this is in regards to major structural migrations, not simple schema updates or changes.
Maybe it's not that simple. The technological improvement that did the most to improve standards of living is learning how to use fossil fuels 300 years ago for transportation and to do other kinds of mechanical work, like pumping water out of mines. That improvement came out of what was then already the wealthiest country (on a per-capital basis). Moreover it was the country whose legal system offered the best protection for private property. That would be quite the coincidence if tech innovations have nothing to do with economic policies.

Not sure who they are. But the world is turning. What the British had done in the past is being undone (though all too slowly). I can’t speak to the conditions elsewhere, but I know recently the government has partnered with Six Nations reserve groups to build a new solar farm where there was once one of the worlds largest coal fired generating stations. I grew up near there and grew up playing softball with those guys. It’s not all plight down there. It’s not all good either. The North needs so much more help than they’re getting but not many people volunteer to go do anything about it. It’s not just up to the government, but I happen to know they’re doing little bits. My brother volunteered to fly up there to work with isolated communities well north of the Sault with a program run by the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police).

Just don’t vote Doug Ford or what you’re saying will certainly be on the agenda. Otherwise, there are plenty of programs to get involved in, and it’s closer to a front lying issue as it ever has been, also thanks in part to Gord Downies final days being quite vocal about it.

Enough? No it’s not. Will they see retribution? Who knows. Still waiting on the same from the British for the land and life lost in the Highland Clearances. I don’t think that’s coming either. Best bet is to band together and push for something better.

I don’t think the case is politically motivated. Like others have pointed out, the case has to go to the courts yet. That’s where the interpretation of the law will truly happen.

Here is a better article on Sweden's economic history, with far more data backing it up: https://eh.net/encyclopedia/sweden-economic-growth-and-struc...

1. Sweden's economic growth relative to the rest of the world continued quite strongly for 40 years after the Social Democrats took power in 1932 and built a large welfare state.

2. In fact, the period with the strongest economic growth rate in absolute terms was 1950-1975, the period when laissez-faire was most clearly abandoned.

3. The libertarianism article doesn't once mention the absolutely crucial fact that Sweden did not participate in the two world wars. In fact, Sweden has been pacifist since the early 1800s. It really helps a lot when your country is not twice ravaged by major wars, and Sweden also makes a habit of investing more in its people.

4. The fact that Sweden and several other countries can sustain a rich economy with healthy and happy people, at the same time as it has high taxes, is itself a death knell for the claim that libertarianism is always and forever the best ideology. If something drastically different from libertarianism is most strongly associated with wealth & health, then libertarianism clearly isn't necessary.

The libertarianism article is not without merit (some kinds of trade liberalizaton and other liberal reforms were obviously a great idea in retrospect), but like most articles written by proponents of an ideology, it fails to acknowledge other important pieces of the puzzle.

I’m concerned as well. We use Docker and Docker Compose heavily for our development and both on Docker for Windows and Docker for Mac developers have to restart their daemon several times a day. The binaries aren’t open so it’s tough to see and fix the issue; but because we aren’t Docker Enterprise Engine customers, there is no path to support. It would be helpful if there were a way to pay for Docker and receive support without having to go the enterprise route. I can see

I wonder if you have misunderstood your friends. The Danish system is different from other Nordic countries in that dismissal is quite easy from legal point of view (even if for someone running a small company, it may still be psychologically very difficult).

The unemployment benefits are good, although the officials monitoring it also force the unemployed to be quite active to find a new job.
all of these issues can be worked around by random validation, sumbitting all/some blocks to multiple people (redundant calculation). This is no different from existing efforts such as SETI@Homr and Folding@Home. The difference being the compensation which increases the incentive for fraud.

The key to the trust issue is not trusting the remote computer, because you can’t. You have to validate somehow.
> As you point out, the Taiwanese government from the very beginning, and as recorded in the constitution, has regarded themselves as the true rulers of China and not viewed themselves as a separate nation state.

When the ROC was established in 1912, Taiwan was not a part of China. It's misleading to refer to that as the very beginning of the Taiwanese government.

The ROC government has only been indicative of the will of the Taiwanese people since democratization in the 1990s.

> It's still the case, I believe, that no major political party has declared independence as part of their platform. Whether this is because such a position would be wholly unconstitutional or because China would invade is debatable.

It's a bit of a tautology that declaring independence would be unconstitutional, because the constitution is the key piece of what needs to be updated.

IANAL, but I think it's even possible to achieve independence within the framework of the current constitution since it guarantees the right to referendums. The government would need to change the scope of referendums by passing a law (see [1]), and then the referendum would have to succeed.

Cracking a Medieval Code
Every rock you lift up in looking at where SESTA's support has come from, you magically find Hollywood people scurrying quietly around. We've already noted that much of the initial support for SESTA came from a group whose then board chair was a top lobbyist for News Corp.. And, as we reported last month, after a whole bunch of people we spoke to suggested that much of the support for SESTA was being driven by former top News Corp. lobbyist, Rick Lane, we noticed that a group of people who went around Capitol Hill telling Congress to support SESTA publicly thanked their "partner" Rick Lane for showing them around.

In other words, it's not just Hollywood seeing a bill that gets them what it wants and suddenly speaking up in favor of it... this is Hollywood helping to make this bill happen in the first place as part of its ongoing effort to remake the internet away from being a communications medium for everyone, and into a broadcast/gatekeeper dominated medium where it gets to act as the gatekeeper.

Full on attack on the internet and people's right to share content and ideas, basically an attack on people's 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'.

Tie this in with the Marriott person fired for 'liking' a post on accident, or on purpose really, that was driven by China not wanting the company to recognize Tibet, and China's large investments in Hollywood and Hollywood's appeasement of those aims, and you have a scary situation where internet content and thoughts could be regulated by people in more authoritarian regimes around the world.

Hollywood used to spread ideas of liberty, living a good life and democracy, now we have them actively exploiting side issues for their aim of content filtering, and we have other countries dictating what free people can do with the internet, full on attack on freedoms and a strike against progress and the idea of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'.

True. But no one is imposing any consequences on Marriott for firing the guy, harsh or not. For Marriott, that makes the decision easy I suppose. It does not, however, change what's right.

It seems strange to me to think unfavorably about US workers’ rights, then about China in the same minute.

About your point, if an international incident isn’t a legitimate reason to fire someone, I don’t know what is. And by extension, what kind of rights you are advocating.

It might be more appropriate to take action against the system that let the error happen. But there are two ways to reduce errors. 1) improve the system, and 2) raise standards for the employees using the system. Cost/benefit analysis ensues.

> Is an employee allowed to quit? What about the "violence" it does to the company, investors, and fellow employees? Must they stick around to provide continuity? If so, how is this not indenture?

Grotesque. Many industries in various countries have a reasonable notice period (say, 3 months), which should give the company enough time to adapt. Nobody considers this "indenture".

> Employment represents a contract between two parties. Basic freedom of association and contract law means both parties can enter and leave under the terms they negotiate and have a rational self interest in acting in good faith.

The difference is that one party, most of the time, can manage without the other. On the other hand, the fired employee still needs to pay rent/feed his family. And depending on the economy/location, finding a different job might take some time (if it's possible at all without retraining).
There is an intriguing reference here: "...the concept of a spatial x-ray locating device came to [Steinhaus] during a winter stroll spent observing snowflakes falling on his fur coat." Elsewhere, I have found the comment "Steinhaus designed and instrument for localization of strange bodies in the body of a sick person by means of X-rays, based on a simple and elegant geometrical conception (1938) [1]." Does anyone know what this is? A form of tomography, perhaps, or an application of stereology? - which is distinct from tomography, according to this article [2], and is apparently somehow related to his Longimeter, recently discussed here [3].

Brazilian women tend to more attractive than the world average but “can’t” find an actual man? WTF is wrong with the world? Seems like laziness to me. Also, I’m pro LGBT parents but raising a child without a father-figure role-model is inherently risky, often leading to “daddy issues” of daughter promiscuity or son criminality. It just boggles my mind how people think a single mom or lesbian situation without at least one male and one female role-model around, at least as an “uncle”/“aunt” or family friend mentor, is a good idea.

ProTip: if an American man in Silicon Valley wants a wife, he should look to places like Czech Republic, Ukraine, Brazil, Colombia and Panama are worth exploring.

Travel Packing Tips for India: All You Need to Know
> Simple car headlights are plenty to see someone in time to stop at 45 MPH.

That's a common misconception. You will see the pedestrian in time if they are near a street light or wearing something reflective. In complete darkness, if the pedestrian is wearing bright, colorful clothing (say, a yellow jacket), you will see them from 120 feet or so; often enough to react and come to a full stop, but not if the road is slippery or the driver less than fully attentive. And a pedestrian wearing black in the darkness is a dead pedestrian, basically invisible until the vehicle is on them.
Looks dead.
So what you're saying is a vastly less rich and organized populace was never able to communicate their arguments in a concentrated enough manner so that Congress would care? Who would've thought.

This argument is stupid. The fundamental freedoms that the internet provide to the global community are too important to be taken away by old lawmakers with no understanding of the way Cyberspace works.
It's just a tradeoff, like any other. If you use a generic, you add complexity, but can accept a wider set of types. If you don't, things are simpler, but you accept a smaller set of types. I personally find the AsRef to almost always be overkill. YMMV.

On several occasions I would have ended up writing a multi-page resume as well if recruiters/job ad websites hadn't told me explicitly not to do so. One easily ends up worrying that you need to show off a tower off knowledge.

For my next job hunt I definitely concentrate on the things relevant for the kind of thing I'm looking for. Especially adding bullets about things one dislikes backfires eventually after taking a position. At some point one will get asked to work with exactly that stuff because nobody likes doing it
Paywall makes it impossible for most people to read this article.
It's easy to fire employees in Denmark. That's one reason why it's economy and employment rates are quite good for Europe, and while you think it proved your point, it's evidence of the opposite. See [1][2][3].

If you're interested in the academic research, someone above in the thread posted research links on the relationship between ease-of-firing and employers' willingness to hire. If you find those unsatisfying, this is a well-researched (empirically, not just theoretically) and uncontroversial topic among economists, so you should be able to find much more research.

"Danish companies are more willing to hire new employees in times of economic revival than their European competitors, who have trouble letting off workers when the economy goes downhill again."

As a watch enthusiast, I've wanted to build my own watch in the past. However, as I got deeper into watches, I realized I could never really make the watch my own creation unless I developed and manufactured the movement myself. Otherwise, I'll be dressing up a generic ETA movement [0] with a personal dial, hands, bezel, etc. This is what most of these DIY watches are. With that said, ETA movements are some of the most solid movements out there with decades of support. They're also capabale of COSC [1] chronometer timekeeping if adjusted properly. For me, the DIY magic dies with the movement because I'm limited to the dimensions of the ETA movement. It's the heart of the watch.

The ongoing talks about extraditing Fethullah Gulen to Turkey for his supposed role in the Turkish coup while he was in Pennsylvania seems like a counter-example to me.
