Oh, absolutely. We're discussing a TV series after all- I thought it redundant to add a "personal opinion" disclaimer :)
As does Westworld.
While full auditing is impossible for any distribution, Debian has a multiple people eyeballing code.

Apart the package maintainers and contributors, the Security Team can also review critical packages and step in if something looks suspicious.

But, most importantly, the release cycle and the long freeze before releases is all about STABILITY and SECURITY.

Anybody can upload backdoored code on npm/PyPI etc, infect someone and then remove the malicious release without being detected.

Releasing something malicious or with serious bugs before a freeze cycle and going undetected for months is not impossible but much more difficult.

If you truly want to understand, you need to be open to the possibility that they are right. Since you are not, I recommend not bringing it up.

Some of the people who believe these things are not stupid at all, and while it may seem smart to you to just accept what you hear from the professionals, it actually doesn't require any intelligence to follow what they say.

I've been working with professionals a lot, and I know they are just repeating what they are told. Every profession is like that. Experts even more so, since otherwise they lose credibility and are not experts anymore.
Not to mention, Microsft, please fix the keyboard event latency in Edge[1]. It makes anything vaguely interactive, especially games, nigh on unusable, unless you particularly enjoy dying on a regular basis because the browser took 300ms to notice you'd pressed a key.

> "Has anyone found effective methods to counter the above traits?"

In the case of anti-vaxxers (most of whom are probably sincere,) when you become upset or even infuriated with them it cements their beliefs. They interpret your anger as evidence of their position being right. Therefore if you want to change their minds, the first thing you must master is your own emotions. Hiding your anger isn't enough, because people always leak information about their emotional state. You need to find a new frame of mind that allows you to have discussions with people who are wrong without becoming upset. I know this is difficult with antivaxxers since their beliefs put children in harms way, but it's necessary.
Just because someone has a lot of money or a fancy title doesn’t mean they’re smarter or more capable than anyone else. Time and chance happen to them all.

Edit: This is a direct explanation of why "just 'cause" is misleading or incomplete, based on public information from mainstream media.
Sat diving in oil and gas is primarily conducted off a "DSV" aka diving support vessel. Usually SAT spread ia required for subsea work below 40m to 130m. While it is theoretically possible for deeper sat dives, the burn rate of oxygen at deeper depths is quite high which results in big increase in diving crew to 1 manhour of job.
Most diving crews also hhave a DMT or diving medical tech. Kinda like diving ER. Mostly this stuff is safe but sometimes divers get disoriented or make mistakes which results in hazards.
Fuck this. Water-birth at home. The government can fuck right off.
For a contrast, my company made a public suggestion page (with upvotes and downvotes), resulting in all the things listed here--and it has made the environment noticeably nicer. I adjust my standing desk at least once daily to my comfort. I now microwave my lunch and eat the available food, which has definitely had a positive impact on my health and all the things that come along with that. The couches are a nice place to relax with coworkers at the end of the day, especially after a stressful day. A lot of the time, people will come by asking the same sort of questions, and it's useful to have the project diagram you drew from the last time up right next to you. If the writing gets set in easily--don't you think that's the reason they would all have the same writing?

I was not the requester on any of these things, and in fact I was skeptical toward most of them at first, but each one was noticeably good, and over time has made me happier. These are precisely the sort of things I would look for the presence or absence of if I were to look for a job elsewhere.

How big is your company? How do you measure usage? Are you sure it's not just confirmation bias ("look at Alice using the microwave she insisted on having")? I would find it pretty surprising if you put out croissants and all but one person ignored them! If 90% of food is going uneaten... then maybe look for less perishable snacks and buy less at a time?
That's because costs escalate quickly. Which is sort of my point, people focus on how shows are good and have decent ratings and so on, but that ignores the commercial reality that Syfy exists in, where an expensive show better have stellar ratings to justify producing it instead of cheap schlock.

Personally, I think it’s valuable to take advantage of new features. AVX512 can be dozens of times faster than scalar operations, and clhash is the fastest strongly universal string hash library. There’s no good reason to pass on these kinds of performance improvements.

I know these aren’t the features in question, but casually dismissing the benefits of CPU improvements doesn’t strike me as productive.

I kinda disagree. Your phone is a pocket computer that transfered the desktop usages, you didn't have that much time in your computer before so life took care of time constraints. "Ubiquitous computing" means neverending internet .. and this scales the problematic usages to the point people realize they've been somehow hijacked by their devices, something they didn't sense before. More and more articles talk about that, and now brands are trying to give users hints about unforeseen effects.
The tax doesn’t discriminate between businesses headquartered in Seattle or outside of it. Instead, it would be calculated based on the amount of money a company makes within Seattle city limits.

Isn't this how taxes work? I get charged by the city I live in, the state I live in, the state I work in and the country I live in.

It's a shame that these huge companies benefit so much from the communities they operate in, but choose to be irresponsible about putting proper investments back in.
I have a friend who works in the North Sea and I envy his life. We met and sailed the Mediterranean together. I took 2 years off to go sailing full time while he managed to work it into his schedule.

He is 3 on, 2 off or 2 on, 3 off the rig. While I’m back in the office he can continue to sail indefinitely. You can accomplish so much with a job that gives you plenty of time off every month.

> Debian maintainers don't have the time (or often the knowledge) to review upstream changes
> Do you think the Debian Linux, GCC and Xorg maintainers exhaustively review and understand every patch? They don't.

This is plain false. While it's impossible to guarantee a 100% code reviews, the number of bugs and vulnerabilities found, reported upstream, and patched by distributions (especially Debian) shows that code is being reviewed.
Thanks - will give it another go! Would be amazing to have that work properly since, otherwise, Edge performs and works well.
A spin off show based on Detective Miller would be awesome.
"“Google campus” in Kreuzberg will inevitably cause rents to increase more, pushing out long-time residents and businesses."

Maybe somebody could tell these retarded leftists that if instead of spray painting walls and breaking windows, they started studying science & math they could get a job and be able to pay for those rents.

"San Francisco – where google operates 10 bus lines to bring its employees to work – became the most expensive city in the world, with rents tripling(? source) over a few years."

Google is definitely not alone responsible for SF prices skyrocketing. Also Google has offices all around the world. Even in relatively affordable places.

>> "Discovery", well... it would stand on its own as a general sci-fi show, but it just isn't Star Trek.

Clearly. Such a shame too, to waste the first Trek series where the main character is a black woman, and also not a starship captain. Unfortunately, it's all just one big cheese-fest from start to end.

>> The same applies to the JJ Abrams reboot movies.

As a long-term proud trekkie (sorry) I wonder what the general opinion is about the rebooted universe. I personally agree with you, that it's Trek without the Trek, like an ice cream cone without the ice cream, but I wonder what others think.
The first thing to recognize is that no amount of evidence or logic swayed you to have faith in science, doctors, vaccines, etc. You, like all humans, made that decision emotionally and then chose some evidence/arguments in order to rationalize your emotional decision. Once you understand that it's always emotion, that may help guide you in how to "debate" such topics. The short answer, is that debating them in the traditional sense is a massive waste of your time.

Take a step back and look at the system.

Venture backed companies are required to grow fast to be competitive.

They do whatever they can to achieve this goal. Complain about that, not an individual. The individual is just trying to survive.

Sad thing is that this tactic works.

It’s likely that more people will end up buying because of this tactic then will care about it.
It's less about hobbling Edge and more about compelling you to not use Win32 while keeping you stuck in Windows. Win32 needs to die and Microsoft is doing everything it can to kill it while not completely pissing off those that rely upon it.

Part of the problem is that if they force everyone to rewrite Win32 native apps then what's stopping them from just going to MacOS or something else?

They want everyone off Win32 but still locked into Windows.

Are My Friends Really My Friends?
The rents in Kreuzberg already increased a lot this past decade: https://guthmann-estate.com/marketreport/micro-market-report...

Gentrification is a problem, but long time renters in Germany are really having it good. An example of how does the system works here: I pay twice as much as some German friends living in my district because my parents didn't sign me up in a union 20 years ago. I'm OK with that, it's the game, but refusing new buildings/companies to keep the rents low is BS.

Kreuzberg is very well located, Berlin is huge, time to accept that 1989 was a long time ago.
I don't believe that anything short of them or their loved ones contacting measles will change their minds.

The article states that parents can request the blood spot sample to be destroyed. A link is given.

You do have the right to ask the biobank to destroy the leftovers after the fact, though the agency's website states it "may not be able to comply with your request."

Following the link, I saw no evidence that parents can request destruction of the sample. Instead, this is what I saw:

You have a right to ask the Newborn Screening Program not to use or share your or your newborn’s information and/or specimen in the ways listed in this notice. However, we may not be able to comply with your request.

https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CFH/DGDS/Pages/nbs/nbsnpp.a...

I also haven't been able to find information on the process a parent can follow to get the sample destroyed.

Not using a sample is not the same thing as destroying it. What am I missing?
The third point can be misinterpreted to make it sound like gps involves a steady tone generated from a known location like more traditional navigation aids used in aviation, rather than clocks taking advantage of our understanding relativistic effects.

While Earth is in the Martian sky, and if the signal were strong enough, a viewer could average receiving signals from over half of the constellation rather than only half a dozen. Furthermore the time signals would originate from many of the satellites moving less orthogonally to the viewer and instead moving toward and away from the viewer.

Compared to measuring the sun relative to a changing horizon, it seems plausible that an extremely precise direction and altitude relative to Earth could give even more precise location on Mars.
That’s up to the people of Berlin to decide, not a faceless American tech company.
I have young kids and spend a lot of time in playgrounds. When I push the swing a flat earth believer approaches me to tell me about chemtrails , flat earth and how vaccines cause autism. He brought pamphlets about vaccines a few times. Always citing some Harvard Prof who supports his theories and refers me to YouTube. He has a little girl that he pushes on the swing and talks to everyone he can about vaccines. That's a really damaging. I just want to politely stop this conversation, though I enjoyed the flat earth stuff. His talking to new moms about vaccines is potentially damaging.
That might be true but brings you back to the question why this is so. Are women intrinsically more intelligent due to their gender or does society place different expectations on the upbringing of boys, leading to a different selection of skills that develop. Or is it a mixture of both?
I once asked what they would do if they got bitten by a rabid animal. Rabies treatment is a vaccine afaik. I couldn’t get a straight answer :-(
It's not just a problem for the people who would like to do work in a license regulated field. It's a problem for everyone.

One of the biggest problems in medicine is the quota on licensing MD's. That drives up the cost for everyone.
It's not really classical liberalism or socialism, but corporate, neoliberal, infantile fascism driven by the silence and pussification of the majority of people.

In the Netherlands, gym membership require drug tests and many rental properties require, either formally or informally, occupants to be of Dutch nationality.

Another example is what happens in Berkeley with regard to hierarchy of victimhood SJW closing campus of anyone white and male, instead of promoting tolerance and equity (means equal fairness tailored to needs, while "equality" means essentially a duplicate of everything for everyone, at the cost of waste, not based on need).

Free speech means debate, not shouting each other down, instant blocking nor banning from speaking... if a book is worth banning it's probably worth reading, so why not be consistent with public speech?

One can also simply disable IE by going through Windows' Turn On/Off Windows Features menu. I wonder why do they not do it by default if they want their users to use Edge ahead of any alternatives.

>The only definition even remotely close to race/racism is #3, yet do a google search for "nationalism" in the news and on forums (including this one, and in this very thread) and I bet you'll discover that in the vast majority of cases you'll find it being used in a way that's synonymous with racism.

That's because, US and a few other multi-ethnic nations aside, most nation states are either somewhat ethnically consistent, or have one dominant ethnic majority -- and thus nationalism there is also related to ethnicity (and/or race).

Race is also not always seen as meaning whole classes of people (like black, white, asian, latin, etc) but can seen as defined for historically and genetically similar lineage too, so, e.g. Norwegians could be seen as different to Swedish in racial terms (and often such arguments invoke such terms).
Australia isn't going anywhere, what's the harm of just giving it a shot for a year and finding out for yourself?

If the social aspect is one you're concerned about, maybe factor that into your job search, since people at work are who you will interact with most (both in general, but especially when you don't know anyone else). Specifically make sure you can socialize with the team, and maybe bias yourself towards slightly larger companies since there are more people there in general to socialize with.

Baltimore Police Can't Explain Why Their All-Seeing Spy Planes Were Kept Secret
Seems like there are two different senses of "reproducibility" happening here:

* the developer variety: "running the same code produces a bitwise-identical result"

* the scientific variety: "repeating the experiment produces the same result"

The second one is much broader; a lot of the work in science is documenting what factors are relevant in "repeating" an experiment: a result which could only be obtained with one exact piece of apparatus would be dangerously close to being irreproducible. Similarly, the idea of "the same result" is subject to interpretation - for instance, measuring the muon lifetime by timing decays in a scintillator should produce a result close to the known value but it can't produce the same value every time since it's a fundamentally random process.
Thanks. The spoiler part (for me) was the FTL communication.
Regarding the remaster of B5: It’ll (probably) never happen.

Star Trek TNG was the first and probably last analogous show to get the remaster treatment. The issue is that, even though the acting was shot on 35mm, post production and VFX all happened at broadcast resolution.

TNG essentially redid the entire post production to bring us updated visuals. By the time CBS/Paramount got around to considering DS9, the financial cost of remastering TNG, plus the move for many people to Netflix, meant expected DVD/Blu-ray proceeds.

DS9 never got the TNG treatment as a result. B5 is in the same boat, needing totally redone postproduction and CG. B5 was a niche show, and the remaster would be an expensive and herculean task. In short, we’ll probably never see it done :-(

This is an amazing comment. As someone who grew up in a very rural part of America (the nearest other house was about a mile away), I didn't realize until later in life, when I moved into a suburb, how much kids are missing by not having "unstructured" play spaces.
The company, as a company, would not move forward with these measures if it didn't help their bottom line or hurt their competition in some way. They aren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. Sure, it may have started as a well meaning thing by a few workers, but it's pretty clear that it's to hurt their largest advertising rival, Facebook. If Google can make their advertising and data more valuable than their alternative they will grow. Does that mean that what they are doing is inherently bad, and won't benefit society if it's successful? Not at all.
That doesn't really have with the data. A 2009 Pew research poll put the majority of satellite states as having a greater view of communism than even Russia does. Basically it's just the Czech Republic and Poland where the people who don't want a return to communism outnumber those who do.
