The irony.
Yes, this was in the news a few times.
Me too.....I also don't understand why our club is such a tiny one, while other clubs worrying about comparatively minor risks (scary Russian Hackers!) are so popular.
I actually started researching this. How come someone hasn't built an app that uses the Graph API to delete these things for you?

Even a delete script on Github. I just haven't found anything. Or do the APIs just not exist?

The best I found were Greasemonkey scripts, and I'm just not going to do that.

Kubernetes USES docker, so it's not a competitor.

The main benefits over the competing docker project, Docker Swarm, is that it does WAY MORE, is 100% free and open source, and has much better adoption.

I would argue that with Docker Swarm you have to bring the glue yourself, and it doesn't really solve any of the hard problems. Kubernets on the other hand is an all-in-one package that solves a LOT of hard problems for you.
No, please check the precise timing. Even with first relations over the nuke were happening before the split, last pieces were delivered to China well after that. Jet engine tech was given to China at the very peak of the "split" and ground to air missile tech just a year after Nixon's visit, which means they got it almost as soon as Soviet did themselves. Why would Soviets ship a supersecret, vital, wunderwaffe defence tech to an enemy?

And as for living witnesses of trains full of coal going into China. There are thousands of people in cities of Manzhouli and Zabaikalsk saw that with their own eyes, and being very puzzled by that. China never had any issue with coal supply whatsoever, it has world's biggest coal reserves. The presumption is that those wagons with coal were just a cover for Soviets to deliver China the defence tech covertly.
What should happen and what does happen are two completely separate things in reality.

If performance actually mattered I'd venture to guess 95%+ of people would be fired immediately. Maybe I'm cynical about it in my advancing years, but kissing ass pays off exponentially more than producing good work (unless you own your own business).
This is the wrong pov IMO. A better example would be using comcast when there are better alternatives in your area.

Except the social media market share Facebook does not hold any monopolies and even that is wobbly.

WHOA. Outstanding comment, thank you. This was not obvious to me. I had no idea pilots got paid rest. Taxi drivers are required to rest too, but at their own expense.
Recovered meat and asbestos are probably very similar on the hazardous scale. Only high levels of daily, lifelong consumption/inhaling of them will increase the chance of getting some kind of disease, usually only in combination with some other kind of high risk factor. Lloyad's of London just had a blanket policy covering the US asbestos companies which made/makes asbestos lawsuits a much better bet than processed meat ones.
I know that itching feeling well, here's what's mostly worked for me: view your phone as tool with a limited set of functionality. For me, that functionality is: calls, texts, Google maps, Spotify, Audible, podcasts, and a camera.

That's it, no email (technically have the ability to send an email if i need to, but no notifications and no constant checking) and no random internet browsing and twitter etc consumption. I have some blocking apps that help with this, but the biggest thing I think is just the mindset. Twitter in line at the grocery store is no longer what my phone is for. Not that reading tabloid headlines is any better, but the main point is stretching out your focus muscles, getting rid of the urge to immediately grab your phone anytime there's a lull or hint of boredom in your life.

Overall, it's nice. Almost like being back in the 90's pre smart phone but also with a super powerful computer that can play any song you want/give you directions to anywhere when you need it to.

>But until then, the whole thing is deeply experimental. And regulation is premature

If it is deeply experimental, then it should be conducted in experimental settings, and not on public roads. If regulation is premature, then public tests are also premature. I am surprised I have to explain this. To be on public road the vehicle should pass a minimum benchmark that shows that it can consistently handle at least all the common scenarios..

There is no urgent need for self driving vehicles. It is not like they are going to solve some of the pressing issues that humanity is facing right now. It is just a curiosity, and can may be boost the profits of some corporations. That is about it.

I don't think it is worth or just to risk lives of unsuspecting public towards that end..
We will :) Please follow one of our social channels so we can keep you up-to-date.
As the post says, the migration will be handled gradually. All of the semi-deprecated `componentWill` lifecycles will continue to work as-is as long as you're on React 16.x. They'll start warning about using them in a later 16.x release. If you rename them to `UNSAFE_componentWill`, they'll continue to work the same way, and there will be a codemod released to do that transformation automatically. There will also be a `<StrictMode>` component built in to React that you can explicitly put around parts of your component tree to help locate these usages.

Do other cars have black boxes that survive crashes? Why should Telsa build one? Their car is not a plane. To build such a black box will increase the cost of production. They are trying to reduce costs. Their very existence depends on reducing the costs of manufacturing.

There is a use for having a facebook account but never using it, and that is identity theft protection.

You don't want someone creating an account for you and hitting your friends up for money. It would be akin to someone taking over your phone number and asking family members/ friends to send a check.

This article is hilarious and creepy. The whole thing reminds me of something from a modern anime.
In Sci-Fi terms the Star Wars approach to AI is nonsensical. You have sentient droids that are treated as possesions/slaves/butlers but there's no AI except for the droids, no spaceships that fly themselves or superintelligent AI minds or anything. And the aforementioned lack of voice for some droids.

But in cinematic terms the R2D2/C3PO double-act does make for some funny exchanges, so I guess that's what they were going for. So its kindof tropes first, world-building afterwards as an afterthought.
This is really cool, thanks for the link, but it solves a different problem.

People do random and unexpected things all the time, often while wearing dark clothes.

Claiming someone has a bias doesn't reflect well on your argument.
Yet github will not let you turn off star ratings, commit history and the fancy commit graph (which I consider social features). I know it's not an indicator of how good a dev you are, but "sometimes" recruiters are clueless about this fact.

Sorry, but I think this not reflective of what actually happened, you are subtly implying this was a suicide when we have zero evidence of it being anything other than a horrific accident.

Redis fork() based persistence explained
Reminds me of the story of Daniel Gurdan[1] who lost two fingers as a child doing chemistry experiments in his parents basement. Being an avid juggler he made himself a juggling glove with servo driven prosthetic fingers [2] and won the first price in the German national science competition (Jugend forscht) in 1999 [3].

He won another price in the same competition in another year for building a UAV which could be flown by moving the hand in a special glove.

He co-founded the UAV company Ascending Technologies [4] which was later acquired by Intel[5].

I think that things like herd immunity just aren't intuitively understood or respected by the people who think that just because they haven't had a health emergency in the modern world they haven't benefitted from their existence in the modern world.
> Career and social life should be completely and utterly separated. The content on your social media page should have no bearing on your ability to perform the job at hand.

Yeah, but since the person hiring you hasn't worked with you yet, they're using a variety of imperfect indicators of how you'll perform.

I assume most people have some embarrassing and/or drug-related stuff on their social media. To me, it would indicate a lack of maturity if I (a stranger) could still see those. Could that be dead wrong? Absolutely! But as someone who hires people, I'm trying to find ways to filter candidates who often seem almost completely the same.

There's also the issue of whether your social media indicates a cultural mismatch. If someone is raging about immigrants on Twitter and our team has immigrants on it, I'm not going to hire that person.
Securing Your Identity with Civic
For me it is the exact different. More and more people are available outside of the Facebook eco system because at this point the media conception is bad enough that you don't need to argument anymore.

Due to hangouts we are all connected in a social media like but private environment anyway. This only works because nobody i know has a iPhone anymore tho.

Literally the only reason I used facebook were low effort marketing actions. However they widely lost their effect the last years.

Tldr: from my point of view it never was easier to not use Facebook.

And I highly believe everyone can just not use it if they actually wanted to.
I'm not sure it's a problem. People just have different opinions.
PlayStation VR now costs $100 less
There is a very simple solution to this problem of politicians and unions leaving future taxpayers on the hook. The state simply pays an insurance company for an equivalent annuity. Or the state pays the union the normal cost (the cost of whatever defined benefit pension is earned in a year of work), and then it's the union's problem to fix its deficits.

Either way, remove the government from these long term obligations with easily corruptible pots of money, and the problem fixes itself. And you get transparent, accurate accounting of government costs instead of the manipulable numbers we get now, which of course politicians and unions fill fight against.

I'm starting to look into that as it seems less awful[0] than package managers in general.

My present setup is using doit[1] to automate setup. I know people use Ansible[2] for similar purposes.

The compelling case to my mind is that actions in Nix are immutable, and that's an amazing story for deploying software to prod, as it makes much stronger guarantees about what you can roll back.

I've actually set up docker images to do things like build old TeX documents simply because it's so bloody difficult to reproduce an earlier state. Nix seems like a much lighter weight answer to that.

We use it in production. It's declarative nature is excellent. We tell it how many of which application we want to run, where our nodes are, and it does the legwork in deciding where to run the applications.

So far zero problems.

That would basically be declaring war though, China can control things in peace times and during war.
You can opt out on all of these. So I don't see the bigger issue actually. The Internet is no cuddle place. Protection always was in the hands of the user.
I'm one of those people. Most people know what a vegetarian is. A few know what a pescatarian is. Hardly anybody understands what an ovo-lacto vegetarian is.

It's just way easier for me to say I'm vegetarian "but I eat fish sometimes". People get that.
> an employer that even looks at your social media profile to do a sort of casual "character check" on you, is not one that you should want to work for in the first place.

Companies aren't going to ignore "free information available at your fingertips" about the candidates they hire.

For example a problem candidate may have easily accessible "red flags" on their social media such as racist stuff and drug use.

They could "save" themselves some costs and future problems by knowing that ahead of time.

When companies are trying to optimise their hiring process they aren't going to ignore free additional information about the candidates, they want every last piece they can get their hands on so they can (at least in their mind) make the optimal decision.
Yeah I've used it. It looks like they are trying to do something like this, just buggy/not well executed, so I took a stab at it.

Very cool. Haven't been back to NYC in awhile but good to see the Rockwood Music Hall is still a hot venue. My main suggestion would be to populate the page with the Spotify data before having the user commit to signing into Spotify. Yes, have the call to action be at the top, but have the below-the-fold content be a list view of venues and artists. The map is nice but I don't think that's the most relevant view for NYC, since it's so easy to get around town between any popular venue.

My perspective is based on my assumption of, at the start of the week, what most people want to know but don't yet know. They know the venues, they just don't know (without tedious inspection) who is playing where. Maybe it'd make sense to have the genre of the acts more prominently shown. I'd be more immediately interested in looking at the list of alt rock bands who are in town that week, and then looking up the venues they'll be at. As opposed to having a list of venues and acts, and having to scan it to see if any of those acts are in the genres I prefer.

people don't know they are granting permissions.

when you provision a new android device it will try to link your account to chrone, and its very hard even for a developer to catch its chrome and not android os. after that small mistake (which is an optout in the ui pattern) its game over. google have all your history and every webview ad has your full profile. not to mention your web bank passwords are now conveniently save in google servers in plain text.

and yes, an even worse problem is the hidden data/shadow profile.

I think there's a worthwhile distinction between 'robust', meaning 'able to resist stresses', and 'antifragile', meaning 'able to react to stresses and become stronger.'
I don’t think it’s for billing most of the time. The middleboxes usually provide some kind of immediate benefit to the network, while breaking core networking assumptions and thus contributing to a weird form of technical debt.

Introducing Stackdriver APM and Stackdriver Profiler
Wow, I feel really bad for the authors of this wonderful free software.(Even though I liked the previous Storyboard Foundation build better...) Everyone hating on the project because it doesn't have a normal license is a weird thing to complain about. This software is for artists; we just use software and we don't really care about the license. We use paid and free software. That is the only different to the end user. Is it paid or free? Software that is open-source has little to no effect on me directly as an artist. I don't edit the code, I use the software.

Again, the difference here is that I let Google have this information and I am ok with that because of the services they offer me.

I never told Facebook to upload my cell-phone contacts to their servers, where-as with Google, I willingly store them using Google Contacts.

It's not so much the data they have, but how they obtain and use the data they have.
Yeah it’s a horrible mess. One generation promised itself the next generation will pay them massive, undeserved pensions. That first generation is still calling the shots (and voting avidly) and the coming generation is going to be stuck with an impossible tab, continuously rising taxes, lowered pensions and benefits, and a miserable situation all around.

To lose 4 pounds a month just by exercising and if you keep your calorie intake the same, you would have to burn an extra 500 calories a day through exercise. That's about a 3 mile run. Assuming most people won't me able to run and will be doing a brisk walk, they can expect to burn about 280 calories an hour - almost 2 hours, 7 days a week.

https://www.livestrong.com/article/300443-how-many-calories-...

How many people exercise and don't eat at least a little bit more?

Between walking at decent pace, at a 12% incline, I can burn 500 calories in an hour. I add on another hour on an elliptical at the highest resistance and that is another 900 calories (yes I know they are usually off by up to 15% either way). But how many people just getting into shape can do either with good form? Let alone both 4 days a week?
