> because I had good insurance through my employer

However, you only get this peace of mind without being rich thanks to Obamacare (whose days may be numbered...). Before, you had to be rich to self-insure against the following events:

- What if you lose your job? It could take you longer to find one again than whatever Cobra covers, or a pre-existing condition could make individual insurance unaffordable.

- What if your insurance is not as good as you thought, and you hit a lifetime cap?

- What if the insurance company managed to conjure up a pre-existing condition to escape their obligations?
Do you think that if part of Google's work were to make it more precise, would that be less evil?
Launching the calculator is basically a "hello world" of exploitation. It proves there's an issue in an obvious way and became a bit of a meme in security.
and when you bomb a military base you are killing non-combatants. Cooks, mechanics, administrators, a completely un-associated postie or truck driver might be delivering a parcel or supplies to the base.

These do not constitute war crimes but occupy this nebulous grey area named "collateral damage" at best and "war crimes" at worst.

In this case we are assuming that several if not many enemy commanders are attending a wedding and the question is asked whether the loss of lives at the wedding are "worth" the loss of lives through a protracted war that would arguably be the outcome if the enemy commanders continued operations.

I do not claim to have the answers but to merely state that this is not the solved mathematical and ethical conversation that some people assume it to be.
For a contrarian view...

I love all of the new Star Wars movies. And most of the new books. All of the new comics. Rebels was fantastic. I will buy and consume every bit of it, and I will genuinely enjoy it.
Free of reprisal from the government.

I don't know why people keep going around thinking they're being repressed if their decisions have consequences. The only way that will happen is if you're a brain in a vat. Or being treated like one by your society; where nothing you do matters but you keep being fed an illusion of response in order to make you think such actions are still worth taking.
Star Wars has always been an aesthetic more than anything else

Commodore a company on the edge! Great book about the individuals involved in management and engineering creating the famous 6502 microprocessor and how they built a best selling computer company world wide. Why they struggled in the US, but dominated in Europe. That book should be converted to a short tv-series. Jack Tramiel would be an awesome character, brutal and kind!
This doesn't really replace something like haproxy. In the diagrams, the "real" servers that they are load balancing to are L7 load balancers like HAProxy (using https://github.com/facebook/proxygen most likely)

The problem this solves is is when you are using haproxy but need redundancy or a single server is no longer capable of handling the load and you need to scale out to 2+ servers.

You could run 4 haproxy servers and use round robin DNS to load balance between them, but as they say, this has the problem of:

> compared to DNS it doesn't need to wait for TTL to redirect traffic from failed L7 lb.

Many people likely use anycast/ECMP for this case, but that has the other issue they mention:

> compared to anycast-based solution, L4 lbs are more resilient to the networking related issues (which triggers mass ECMP reshuffle)/ enable better handling of adding/removing of L7 lbs from the pool as well as provide better support for unequal load balancing.

Only make it active if you have influence on the outcome (i.e., starting your own business). If we're talking stock investing, you'll just get eaten. Which can be a good lesson, but it's one you can skip if you want and go directly to index funds. :)

You can use your money to generate passive income, or you can use it to get leverage (retaining more of a percent of your startup; taking a risk on a risky but better job; etc.). In either of those paths, do it smartly.

Huh. And here I always thought it's because these users are allowed to "take the wheel".
Julia always was one of the languages I wondered whether I should have a closer look at (do python data-science stuff mostly, so it is an interesting project). However, reading Dan Luu writing about his experiences with members of the Julia community https://danluu.com/julialang/ I try my best to not get anywhere near it. Directly cited:

Update: this post was edited a bit to remove a sentence about how friendly
the Julia community is since that no longer seemed appropriate in light of
recent private and semi-private communications from one of the co-creators
of Julia. They were, by far, the nastiest and most dishonest responses I've
ever gotten to any blog post. Some of those responses were on a private
discussion channel; multiple people later talked to me about how shocked
they were at the sheer meanness and dishonesty of the responses. Oh, and
there's also the public mailing list. The responses there weren't in the
same league, but even so, I didn't stick around long since I unsubscribed
when one the Julia co-creators responded with something bad enough that it
prompted someone else to to suggest sticking to the facts and avoiding
attacks. That wasn't the first attack, or even the first one to prompt
someone to respond and ask that people stay on topic; it just happened to
be the one that made me think that we weren't going to have a productive
discussion. I extended an olive branch before leaving, but who knows what
happened there?

Update 2, 1 year later: The same person who previously attacked me in
private is now posting heavily edited and misleading excerpts in an attempt
to discredit this post. I'm not going to post the full content in part
because it's extremely long, but mostly because it's a gross violation of
that community's norms to post internal content publicly. If you know
anyone in the RC community who was there for the discussion before the
edits and you want the truth, ask your RC buddy for their take. If you
don't know any RC folks, consider that my debate partner's behavior was so
egregious that multiple people asked him to stop, and many more people
messaged me privately to talk about how inappropriate his behavior was. If
you compare that to what's been publicly dredged up, you can get an idea of
both how representative the public excerpts are and of how honest the other
person is being._
I agree.

My guess is that for its time the special effects were cool so people ignored the bad acting (especially) and the universe just built so much hype that it just became an institution few people dare to criticize openly. Also, popular with children + nostalgia :)
All things remaining equal, yes that’s the accounting 101 definition.

When you’re talking private equity LBO activity, all things are not equal.
To me, it's more political than mechanical.

Star Wars has more political and interpersonal conflicts lead to shifts of power. Palpatine gained control of the Galactic Senate through political maneuvering - letting the Trade Federation apply political pressure through shipping fees, and then manipulating weak-minded senators while their stronger-minded companions are fleeing the Trade Federation. Rarely are technical details relevant to the plot - starship fuel or reactor operation details are vague at best, an executive summary. They don't goto Watto for engine parts, but a whole new engine, and Jedi aren't trained on starship repairs as they have astromech droids.

Star Trek has more situations where mechanical failure or damage leads to interpersonal conflicts and shifts of power. During the Klingon Civil War, you get a pretty good idea of how Geordi keeps the Romulans away. Ship fuel was a main plotline through the entire Voyager series. Everyone on every Starfleet ship has taken a college class on how the warp core reactor works, and they flaunt that knowledge regularly.

It would’ve been interesting to learn that Han was once a sensitive boy with a musical gift

What’s interesting is that is this the second time they have ballsed this up. Han-shot-first is a redemption arc, a man who was little better than a villain himself coming around to do the right thing when he sets aside self-interest in the end. But that was erased in rereleased editions. It seems that Han is doomed to never have any character development.

One issue is that this a lot different than an aircraft carrier cannon. Those are super expensive and limited in where and how they can be used. Also, the bigger the fear is that we don't know where this will stop. Great, so drones are being used in war for strategic strikes. Given the current administration, how long before that might be used to track down people near the border? How long after that to track down people who publicly criticize the administration? The biggest issue is that this enables an Orwellian society that actually scales and scales quickly.

And for anyone playing at home, the "if not us, someone else" argument doesn't wash. We as a society have to draw a line. Maybe someone else will do it, but we need to fight them and not allow it, not just take our money and put our head in the sand. Just like the backlash about the NSA putting backdoors in routers and the more recent announcement of Amazon enabling a police state by scanning and identifying faces in pictures and videos. I'm worried that this will continue to push us to some pre-crime bullshit but instead of oracles with magic powers, it will be some half ass AI based on factors like race, gender, neighborhood and time of day.
No idea about its usage in industry, but this is a classical example of a tool that maps to its domain a magnitude better than the competition, yet can't seem to take off because of lack of the network effects that would act as propellant.

AS far as I can tell, the law usually permits public photography simply because it is quite difficult to tell whether you are searching for a frame, using wide or zoom lens, etc.. So the "take photo" as in "press the shutter button" action is probably legal in most parts of the world, as you say. One will face consequences when they publish photos or transfer them to third party - more or less self incriminate.

Health insurance is a must in US because the entire country systematically doesn’t give a shit about how inefficient it is. I guess some people make fat bucks at the expense of people’s lives.

My pay + company benefit == $650/month to Anthem.

I still end up paying $5000 for all pre-pregnancy costs out of pocket and the baby isn’t even here yet.

In Australia it would be 10% of that, purely because they got their shit together a long time ago.
I, too, have a local caching resolver. And I'm unlikely to turn this on at the browser level, although I'm occasionally tempted to play with it in the resolver.

But I strongly suspect we're in the minority and that something like this is the easiest -- and quite possibly the only -- way for many users to avoid DNS poisoning by ISPs.
How do those standards compare to aviation? Are there similar certifications that would allow to use a software implementation like this?
Is it possible that the intent is kept somewhat secretive and the review teams aren't aware of it? This would lead to new apps being approved but then catch-up happens and they're removed.

I am speculating and somewhat playing devil's advocate. My thought process is that Apple is huge, global, and communication is going to suffer sometimes for it.

Very insightful comment, I suppose you represent the modern, alternative right movement then?

This is a very big problem, you can't have bags like "the left" or "the right" because that's too general to represent any meaningful philosophy.

As an example, many people would argue Clinton is left. I'd argue she's on the center right of the spectrum, if not further and would certainly not refer to her as left-wing in general. I'm not making a judgment here as to which is correct, but it demonstrates pretty clearly that broad labels are not at all helpful.
> If I'm in a city square and I want to tell Bob something, but I refuse to let anybody know that I want to communicate with Bob, it's hard to see what I can do

You can tell a few people near you that "someone" wants to tell something to Bob and an answer from Bob. They tell people near them and so on, until it reaches Bob. He then answers and tells people near him, they tell those who told them and so on, until the answer is delivered back to you. And since no one can hear what people tell each other, no one can assume that "someone" is you and not someone else talking to you in secrecy, many connections away from you.

Think overlay peer-to-peer networks.

But the minimum viable threat model is ISP appliances that do classification and identification of traffic, both passively and actively, like trying to probe for protocols and hostnames. If you are not targeting them, you are effectively doing nothing, but pretend privacy PR. Which is the case with Cloudflare's DNS.
I think a better term is financially independent. I would say a better definition of being rich is having plentiful wealth such that you enjoy freedoms well above what's typical of the general population, or ones personal expectations. Being poor is the opposite; having wealth that limits your freedoms below your expectations. This is of course relative, but rightfully so.

Thank you for putting this into words. It's sad to see how effective the US propaganda efforts have been in convincing otherwise intelligent people that the military is "defending our freedom".

I'd love to see how many millions (billions?) the federal government has pumped into this myth.

Hell, the entire America's Army initiative was literally a recruitment tool for kids who played video games. It's depressing to think about the number of kids who eventually paid a blood tax because a state-sponsored video game convinced them to join.

Eli Schiff wrote a good review of TLJ a while back that similarly describes the dead emptiness/meaninglessness of Star Wars nowadays:

>The sequels, and in particular, Rian Johnson's latest episode, have now fully deconstructed the Star Wars universe, and shown the characters and their motivations to be vacuous. The only character remaining who really grasped the depravity of the situation is Kylo Ren. Now that there is no hope for heroes (even the Resistance doesn't believe in those anymore—after all, heroism reinforces a hierarchy that must die), we await the climactic explosion of an end to this universe that it deserves.

>More likely though, given that we're dealing with Disney, we probably won't get anything of the sort. And for that reason I now realize why fans of all stripes didn't like The Last Jedi. What they saw in the mirror was so horrifically disfigured and alienating that it couldn't be confronted. For though history is far from over, with everyone either too smart to continue living, or too stupid to die, it may be there's no one left with the will to make history anew.

To my understanding, scraping can be legal if it's done properly, meaning not sending too many requests at the same time, and if it does not affect the underlying infrastructure.

It seems like in the US or in Europe, even if there is any anti-bot / anti-scraping section in the website's TOS, public data can be scraped.

I wholeheartedly agree, one could also note how this is Java-esque. My hope is that someone far more well-versed than me in this area will find the time and push for it. On that note, one wonderful thing about Julia is how easy it is to contribute to the core language since it is written in Julia. It really is amazing to see people from so many disciplines come together to push a “language for science as a whole”.
