Privacy protection exists along a gradient. Just because one does not want to sit at the far end with RMS does not mean we just throw up our hands and say "well, I guess I have to give up all my privacy, because I can't do what RMS does."

How common we're mass shootings in Australia before the ban?

Oh and guns weren't banned in Australia, just restricted. Plenty of guns still there.
At a guess, it might be because the things that you say are "missing" are specific to HTTP, yet the document says nothing (that I remember) about HTTP at all. The recommendations being discussed in the article are at a completely different level.

It's like if I said, "you forgot to mention to disable root logins via SSH". While that might certainly be a good recommendation, it's out of scope as it has nothing to do with what is being discussed.

They have been relevant, yes, but that doesn't mean their primary audience isn't aging. If you truly believe the Beatles and AC/DC are gaining more followers than they are losing, you are woefully out of touch.

Spotify was excited to get them because it means older people might join. A larger audience, that's it.

The CDC was never explicitly banned from researching gun violence, though the Dickey Amendment "outlawed spending tax dollars on gun control advocacy", which made it difficult to determine what sorts of research might be allowed. This was recently clarified to explicitly allow gun violence research, though that still isn't funded.

This ignores that major developers can absorb a lot of risk and aggregate. It also ignores that foreclosures on ordinary people can be snapped up by banks and developers. It also ignores that tax abatements are very popular and often extremely undeserving. Near where I live, tax abatements are granted regularly and come out of the school budget.

If the housing market keeps going up, where's the risk? You'd have to be the dumbest man in NYC real estate to lose money like the president's son-in-law. Small time landlords are a slightly different ballgame, but it's still bizarre that we allow individuals to speculate on where people live and and extract money from the less wealthy in this fashion.

EDIT: Also, what other job requires work up-front, but then nearly none? Landlords are famous for terrible upkeep. Even in communities where problems are generally fixed, most of the time, the landlord just collects a check until a problem pops up. They only have to work for rare serious problems and for managing move-in move-out.

EDIT2: The craziest thing is that we see that they do this and still collect 25%+ of ordinary people's incomes for an invisible service that is merely holding intellectual property. It's as though people pay to live in a castle keep with no services, pay the local lord, and justify giving 25%+ taxes on top of what you give to the actual democratic government (typically less to much less) because the lord is somehow a great symbol of the economic system.

If future understanding of the grand scheme is unpredictable, then that form of decision making seems equally likely to miss the mark as reactionary non-decisions or intentionally tribally inclusive decisions. You don't really gain anything by switching between those perspectives, or by dismissing one of them, by your premise.
>America is built on corruption

mainframe is attacking this issue https://mainframe.com/

Yes. There are many thousands of gun owners who would prefer to kill or be killed than to be disarmed.

Note that this is not a statement of my own stance; it's a statement of my impression of that community after a lifetime of immersion in it.

I have absolutely zero doubt that banning firearms in America would result in far more deaths than it would prevent even with the most optimistic expectation of its efficacy.
Wow. I remember sabre from genie- General Electric Network Information Exchange. In the 1980s. I’m not sure compuserve was invented yet. My father and I could use “electronic mail” to stay in touch. For you youngsters: I hsd never yet had a “remote control” for a tv yet. Yep. Had to get up to sdjust the volume or change the channel (don’t get me started on adjusting the antenna).

Wish I didn’t know this.
Ah, Malcolm in the Middle - how I miss it. I think that was about the time I stopped watching TV.
I had a similar problem. The problem sets often left me very confused, and were more focused on using the algorithm in unique ways (which is valid but not necessarily my priority) than understanding how they worked.

Really liked that Tim's course let you build an intuitive understanding of algorithms, so you can build them just by thinking about the problem, instead of getting bogged down in optimization details.
What Estonia's e-residency actually means.

Let's assume you have a startup and you want it to be registered in Estonia, paying taxes and using the Estonian banks for financial purposes.

1. With e-Residency you can't enter Estonia, you need a separate business or travel visa [1]

2. At present, it’s still necessary to travel to Estonia in order to apply in person for an Estonian business bank account. [2]

3. Good, fancy and catchy name "e-Residency" is actually an infinite loop of bureaucracy. You can't remotely open a bank account, you need to travel personally to Estonia, and you have a chance that banks will approve your application. But you can't enter Estonia with this "e-Residency" for this to happen.

[1] https://e-resident.gov.ee/faqs/about-e-residency/#coming-to-...

[2] https://medium.com/e-residency-blog/banking-for-e-residents-...

And this is just a little tip of the iceberg, there are a lot of articles about real experience of e-residents of how unfriendly for "e-residents" the banks in Estonia are. And without a bank you can't make your startup work.

Today it's just better with the same level of bureaucracy to open a company in other, more startup-friendly countries that grant a residency and have decent, more digital-friendly banks.

I hope something will change in near future, the main idea of e-residency is actually really amazing.
Meh... his thesis still holds. Gun control is obvious not the driver of a lower gun homocide rate.
Also, it remains unclear how you expect to support parametric polymorphism if you're assuming JavaScript as a base language for your analysis.
Mostly it's Docker-specific, but all of the things causing this latency tend to be what makes Docker useful in the first place. In particular, networking and mounts.

For starters, if you're just running the typical Docker set up to talk back and forth using a UNIX or TCP socket, all of _that_ networking and HTTP/JSON encoding+decoding will add some overhead. This is even worse if you're going through a proxy layer like the socket which Docker for Mac creates and forwards to the Linux VM. OK, so there's at least a few milliseconds of latency built in for this, the socket forwarding hop on my Docker for Mac seems to add ~5-15ms for instance.

Once the daemon receives the request, runc, the command that actually does the work to create a container without all that hoopla, is invoked.

Then, to actually start up a container quite a few mounts get set up either for devices (potentially including tty in the case of `run -t`) or for the union filesystem. Take a look at the output of `mount` in a container sometime, around 30-40 mounts (and all those overlay layers...) and a lot of that gets set up on the fly because each container has its own unique mount namespace and view of the world.

Then after all of that, you need to set up networking too (`docker run --net none` will skip this), otherwise containers can't talk to the Internet, to each other, or listen on ports of the host. Remember, each has its own network namespace, created from scratch. So, Docker's doing all manner of adding port proxies, modifying iptables, attaching containers to interfaces, and so on. Otherwise, `docker run alpine wget -qO- https://google.com` or `docker run --net=internalnet` wouldn't work out of the box.

The work isn't easily done concurrently since there are so many dependencies - e.g., you need to have a process in order to set a network namespace, in order to run that process, you need to have a root FS prepared to pivot root into, and so on.

Meanwhile to all of this happening the Docker daemon is doing god knows what, it could be pulling images, or running other containers already, supervising processes, etc. While many of those things are concurrent due to use of goroutines, they do eat up resources and generally too much work saturates and slows down the daemon. That's not really unique to Docker though, any program doing all this stuff at once would have that issue.

Anyway, that's why Docker takes way longer to start a process than good old execve() in your shell.

The entropic heat death of the universe comes more from the notion that R=1 is implied by the conservation of energy and so while the universe might stop expanding at t=∞ the average energy of any particle at that time will be 0.

if R>1 same thing but faster.

The other option is that we all die and then the universe collapses... which is just as final for anything hanging around as heat death would be.
My team used Sails for a project about 3 years ago and can confirm that your description fits the framework to a t. We were sold on the premise of a Rails-like experience running on Node, but experienced all the shortcomings you described.

I'd also add that we probably underestimated how much using a less popular framework negatively affected our pace of development. Having a large community helps a lot when you're trying to get junior devs up to speed.
How can I contact your shop?
I've heard of enough misguided "modernisations" (and failures thereof) that I think the "legacy system" was the part that stayed working throughout, and it's the newer stuff added around it that failed. The old stuff may be old but there's a reason it's old... it's outlasted any attempts at replacing it.

It's still presumptuous.

Reddit doesn't need a sales funnel. It's owner Conde Nast does that's one problem.

The users have a very different set of expectations set long before the new owner walked in.

Prior to the big sale, which raised a lot of expectations, which may not actually be met very well at all given how users actually use Reddit,the site was self-sustaining based on gold and intra Reddit ads.

The idea of billions of page views, based on largely organic online discussion, equaling massive dollars, isn't one proven valid.

That's a problem too.

The reason it's a problem, is curating a very compelling discussion site for advertisers runs in conflict with what makes for a very compelling discussion site.

Yes, big orgs want to replace it with "something new", but what is that something new? Who knows if Java and C# will be viable in 20+ years. Microsoft and Oracle play versioning and legal games with their languages that may harm longer-term usage and consistency. And UI fashion changes faster than the wind.
We chose the name as a reference or throwback, of course, to <stdlib.h>. We’re <stdlib.com>, and we allow developers to utilize serverless technology to make shipping custom logic (functions) simple and create a Standard Library of APIs within their organization or contribute to a public library.

From the inception of the product we knew we were building a library - well, a publishing and hosting platform combined - but really, a library of APIs. The very first name we came up with was “stdlib” and, through a stroke of fate, “stdlib.com” was available.

We don’t take the name lightly. We understand we stand on the shoulders of giants, and it is our responsibility to create the best “stdlib.com” we can. It motivates and inspires our team members. That is why we chose the name.

It’s unfortunate you have a problem with this, but we’re very thankful to our developer community, team, partners and our investors for their support. :)

I think part of your question is, why does every p2p app not work on all platforms equally well. This is true of pretty much 90% of apps and software - they don't work on all platforms equally well. This is because of conscious design and business decisions taken by the builders.

Spotify's catalog is so spotty that it is borderline useless for me. Most small indie labels still do not publish to Spotify

If you are the kind of person that will sometimes strongly desire to listen to only one song/style/artist, and that desire is so strong that nothing else satisfies it, then Spotify not having your track can be a big deal.

If I can't build a decent playlist because Spotify's lack of coverage, that's going to be a big deal to me.

The mainstream is not sensitive to nor do they care about the logistics of music distribution. I wish there was a way for Spotify to ignore these bullshit distribution deals because the only people who care about them are megalabels and their A&R reps. I don't know of a single artist making bank off streaming...

I get your point but also want to point out that dictators ban religions because it usually tells people there is something more powerful than the dictator.
but: 400 or 1000 years ago there were still basically three possible predictions: the universe will end; the universe is infinite; the universe will cycle.

It is then trivial to find philosophers who take one of those notions as a cornerstone of their philosophy and thus absolutely have a conceptual framework for the right questions.

We now have an inkling that this taxonomy of understanding may well be too limited. For one thing, the notion of a "beginning" might not actually have a concrete meaning. There may simply be no time before "time zero." Also, the universe may well come to a false "end" in a way which completely remixes the laws of physics and possibly remixes the very causal structure of the universe. The universe may well unfold in a series of such incomprehensible remixings in a way analogous to Roger Penrose's 5-way symmetrical tiling, where an infinity may be "covered" by a predetermined non-cyclic pattern which never repeats. That last one is something which our ancestors of 400 and 1000 years ago simply didn't have the "mental furnishing" to conceptualize.
About 4 years ago, I needed a car to drive into the ground that got good gas mileage. I got a pretty good deal on a Kia Rio and I drove it 100 miles a day and it was good on gas and low maintenance. It is just me, so room wasn't an issue.

I suppose I could have bought a Cadillac Escalade and spent a lot more on gas and maintenance while being able to haul a lot of people which would of never happened. It also would have cost quite a bit more than my Rio.

So, its not absurd to buy a Kia if it meets your needs instead of an Escalade, quite the opposite in fact. Just as it is really foolish to use CORBA when all you really need are the facilities already included with most Smalltalks. Just because I'm doing communications doesn't mean I need the big, expensive solution.
Dan Barber's TED talk about ethical foie gras farming. It's not a podcast but it also doesn't really on video much
To me at least, the lack of meaning comes to what we are. If we are just a really complex phenomenon, then why are we more important then other such things? If our consciousness is just emergent behavior of a lot of brain cells communicating, then why are we more important than the particles of air making wind, or ants acting like a being together? Even the concept of self or being is a illusion, our sensation of continuity is just a byproduct of our memories.

And if we are comparable to the wind, why does anything we do is special? Why do something rather than other thing? Why create things and not destroy everything? Why prefer a type of phenomenon instead of other?

I can't grasp it no matter what I read on the subject or on philosophy (but I never really discussed with someone who could point me to good directions). Everything I read seems to base its ideas on some axioms in which I don't think are true, such as that human life is important, or that we should maximize individual or collective happiness, or anything like that.

Yeah, we don't know a lot of things. Maybe consciousness is not only emergent behavior. Maybe we have a soul or something like that. But it's hardly the truth at this point, it looks like just a false hope we can hold onto.

I also don't share the text or video views. I'm quite pessimistic although I don't act like that. I do like to hold onto the hope I'm wrong.
