I'd suggest looking at more data before we cast politics aside - I would like to compare the amount of mental health issues that manifest themselves like this one ranging up to mass violence with other countries. My hypothesis is countries with a larger middle class and robust social care (such as access to affordable health care) have less of these events.
Flink 1.6 – The next step in stateful stream processing
Yeah. But there is a case for keeping it simple even for professional / server stuff. I mean the success of python is the best illustration. It's a dog by any metric but it allows to keep things simple, which has a lot of value in itself. Developer and IT people have enough complexity dealing with their domain not having to add the complexity of their tools to that.

The authority here is insurmountably large and the data is readably accessible. It's like a blind person claiming the sky isn't blue despite the determination of every sighted person.

There isn't even a single point of authority here. The determination is made by climate scientists, biologists, ecologists, etc... across multiple independent governments, allies and enemies alike.

Argument from authority is meant to avoid groupthink, but there are many many disparate groups coming to the same conclusion here while relying on entirely different sets of evidence.

If you can use argument from authority to dispute this, then you can use it to dispute any consensus ever made.
If you think that one through it seems like doing this for a movie would be a logistical nightmare. Most actors are pretty good about learning their lines, which means you’d couldn’t just put random changes in because otherwise their time would be wasted. I’m guessing that it’s only used for pivotal plot changes like the Roddenberry incident describe on Wikipedia. Seems like the path used these days is extreme lawsuit threats built into their contract, something you’ll see just about every Marvel star joke about during interviews.

Pocket is one of my most used apps on my iPhone. It's fantastic, simple, and best of all truly an app I believe the more time I put into it, the better I feel about how I've used my time, which I can't say for a lot of the social media and game apps that are out there today.

Another account lost in the Google void – how many are there?
I have a number of old Gmail accounts. For some of those I have lost access long ago - for some others I have set up a cascade of POP3 email collection (each Gmail account can collect email from 5 other accounts) to reach my current account.

One day one of my old accounts received a HaveIbeenPwned notification that it appeared in a hacked email list.

Like a good citizen I changed my password to a new, secure, unique password. In addition I set up 2FA with Google Authenticator.

The phone broke, with it the Google Authenticator access and the not full, synced password list I had.

My fault for loosing the password. My fault for not printing single use codes ahead of time. But I do remember at least one of the old passwords. The recovery email and recovery phone number are still in my possession. And yet - I can't get access to the old account anymore. No matter what I try, there's nothing I can do to prove to Google's recovery wizard that the account is mine.

The help forums are filled with posts of this or a similar style, the only advice being to use the wizard, or create a new account. No chance to recover the email account with my name and plenty of old contacts.

After trying for weeks, even digging out and repairing my old laptop just for a better chance to restore it, I give up.

My takeaway is to move everything out of Google before it's too late. Luckily that account didn't have my 200+GB of photos or old work documents, but the next one I lose might.

How many of the m/billions of Gmail accounts are by now inaccessible? How come such a gigantic company can't find a way to prevent such ridiculous reasons for account loss?
No one says that outright but poverty and violent extremism are pretty closely linked. Its not the only factor ofc, and youll always have outliers, but comfortable people with things worth losing are less likely to do something to endanger that.

There's little reason to believe many high-profile climate deniers are acting in good faith,
especially those employed by think tanks and other PR organisations.

As the questions are political, you need rhetoric. As unfortunately as it may be, it should be obvious by now to everyone following politics that being "polite" is not a winning recipe in the game.
Weird to think this was what the internet/www was designed for from day one..
Yeah - it's pretty heavyweight. I run my Unifi controller on a spare Raspberry Pi that's been kicking around. There are plenty of pre-packaged versions of that tool as well.

Would love to see them reduce the overhead of the controller, but to be honest, traditional IT managers will probably just spring for the $100 cloud key and be done with it.
It is based on physical reality: over promising limited resources can't work. Socialism is based on this premise. Unfortunately, it can't work in the long term.

I would be happy if I am wrong on this one example: I do not wish anyone to be poor. However, wikipedia says median income for MS is 40k now, cf https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_incom...

While for France, it is 20k according to http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=ilc_...

My numbers may be wrong, as other sources say it would just be above the 12 poorest, see https://mises.org/wire/if-sweden-and-germany-became-us-state...

If France median income is not lower than the poorest US state, but on par with the bottom 1/5 of the states, that still speaks volume. It's burdened by a system that can't work.
Specifically, stuff like RDS databases which you absolutely never ever want to have destroyed: just provide the endpoint as an input to your CF template.

There are ways around it as stated below, but I agree completely. I don’t bother with CloudFormation with cross shared, building block type infrastructure like RDS and ElasticSearch. It’s just not that much of a pain to spin up a database on each account. Besides, the characteristics of the databases in different environments are going to be so different, that you are going to either have parameters or FindInMap functions anyway so for all intents and purposes, you’re not running the same template anyway.

As the article said, changing any resource that’s exported from a CF template is such a pain, it would be better just to use parameter store if you can get away with it.
i still think it is very funny. actually it gets funnier every day.
This probably isn't what you are looking for, but my wife and I have a three month old so I have some very recent experience with this stage and this is what we have learned:

* I read maybe two parenting for Dads books. I do not regret not reading more, they were helpful but marginally so, mostly during pregnancy. Maybe I could have read none and been fine. I probably won't invest a lot of time in parenting books moving forward.

* I got the most value reading generic child development books. Parenting a baby is really just care + development. Figuring out care takes a few weeks (diapers, feeding, etc.) and then it's all about development from then on. Parenting comes much later, plenty of time to read about it.

* The first few years of life are the most important for development by far. You could argue (I mean, the science does) that over half the impact you can have on the developmental outcome of your child happens in the first two years of life. And even then, it's somewhat random.

* On that basis, we take development activities very seriously at this stage, and worry less about parenting in future, if only because it's impact is less significant long-term and we have plenty of time to read if we want. I worry about facilitating development, they are going to be who they are going to be when they grow up.

* I found having parenting peers to be very useful but it's hyper age-based. Our best friend had a child within the same month so we tend to talk to them a lot more than others as a result. Even people with babies at six months are in their own world of problems and priorities.

* Once you figure out care and where you are development wise, the biggest problem for the first six months or so (according to others around us) is sleep. Not much can be done either. This has been our experience. Once you're done with the shock, the obligation, you just have this joyful sleepless daze phase.

* The science on parenting (development + care) has changed materially (for the better) since our parents were parenting. Their advise can be as bad as it is good, we have found Google Scholar 10x more useful than listening to in-laws and our in-laws are arguably wise about parenting (just so out of date).

Yeah... so if you could just come in on SUNday... that'd be great. thanksssss.
HN is really the wrong place for this discussion. My apologies. I have followed the civil war closely for nearly six years and in that time my opinion changed from one end of the spectrum (supporting the US against the tyrant Assad) to the very other end - realising the US was the primary cause of the war lasting so long and causing so many deaths by arming all and sundry against Assad.

I have talked via chat to folks in Aleppo when they were getting shelled indiscriminately by rebels (whenever they intermittently had power/signal). I have spoken with English speaking Kurds. No-one liked Assad, but he is a secular leader and the best of a whole bunch of terrible options.

Anyways, you don't have to take my word for it. Some very few media outlets like the UK's telegraph/independent went against the grain and confirmed several such stories independently. When the Battle of Aleppo was reaching its heights, Syrian civilians were being shelled by NATO weapons. All such claims were dismissed by the Obama administration at the time. Now they are slowly getting revealed:

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/syria-war-bosnia-saudi-...

Amnesty International came up with several reports of the 'moderate' rebels committing severe crimes. Some of these reports were quite heavily sanitised.

There was no celebration of non-Islamic festivals allowed until Dec 2016. Only after the Syrian Army won back Aleppo did Christians get back their voice. The heavy, spontaneous door-to-door celebrations on the street were never reported. All videos showing such celebrations were taken down in a few hours from youtube.

What I find amusing is nearly all of your vaunted, reputed American journalists took most of their stories word for word from the Syrian observatory for Human rights run by one guy in Coventry, UK and heavily funded by the government. On the ground Syrians weren't considered reliable sources for the Western propaganda machine. Most journalists were too afraid to go into 'moderate rebel' held territory. And any Western journalist reporting from Assad territory was considered suspect and mostly ignored.

The Syrian War was an expensive gambit sponsored by Western governments (with Saudi Arabian support) for regime change that failed in all its objectives, causing over a million deaths and destroyed the Syrian quality of life. I have nothing but utter contempt for the journalists who kept pushing propaganda and are still calling for war.

Meanwhile, UK/US/German weapons are being merrily dropped in Yemen and hundreds of Yemeni adults and children dying, but you don't hear a peep in the MSM, do you ?
No, that's simply incorrect. The rising tide of inflation will lift expensive house prices more than inexpensive house prices. And no matter where you live, there is always a cheaper place you can go to when you sell your home. It's called a cost of living arbitrage.

This turned out to be one of the more interesting IP decisions IMHO. The Supremes decided that a list cannot be copyrighted if it’s organized in a simple and obvious way, like a phone book.

Which means that if you went to a bunch of trouble to license a ton of local phone directories, as you’d have to do back then, in order to create a national listing, your achievement would be worth exactly nothing. While I’m grateful to the Supremes for the decision as a dev, I can certainly empathize with Rural (the losers) as a businessperson.

I think there's a legitimate question as to whether every real number is actually physically real. [1] It seems credible that our universe can only actually present us with a finite number of possible sensory experiences, in which case an event with probability 0 actually couldn't ever happen. That said, even if the universe can present you with an infinity of observations you can certainly only consider a finite number of classes of them, leading to the same outcome.

I have a family of four, work from home sometimes, but find it hard to have kids respecting your workspace because you're "home" after all, so why not barge in? My wife has trouble with boundaries too on that issue. It's a normal problem for people who don't "get" IT/WFH. You're home so.... we can bother you, right?

Lots of people have these problems. It's super common because the idea of working from home and being unavailable is inherently pretty odd for those who don't quite get how context-switching is an extreme productivity killer.
> The whole debate stopped being about science years ago ...

I agree. The scientific consensus is strong, and the models are robust. So the only "debate" left involves dueling PR campaigns. And the side that's funded by the fossil fuels industry has consolidated its political control. They still have no hope of winning the scientific debate, but now they can impose their agenda regardless.

Anyway, I could be upset about our situation. Maybe I would be, if I were a few decades younger, or had children and grandchildren. But I don't. So mainly I'm cynically amused. And I'm becoming more and more confident that I'll get to see some lulzy shit before I die.

Cord cutting began when people who didn't love U.S. pro sports balked at paying their cable system for the so-called triple play.

I love ESPN, but their revenue model was built on the belief that it would have extreme pricing power to use against its cable system customers as long as it locked up most of the important live sports events.

ESPN's revenue model assumptions caused them to overpay for U.S. broadcast rights, to favor the NBA, NFL, and MLB over all other U.S. sports, and to keep raising their per-subscriber rate to cable systems.

The price of the triple play increased most because the fee to carry ESPN in the U.S. is assessed per-cable-basic-package-subscriber, whether or not the subscriber watched any ESPN, Disney, or ABC channel.

At some point something had to give.

So, how many research papers did your parents read when bringing you up? Can they cite the list of publications that convinced them to give or not give you the vaccinations?

It's less politics, and more to do with empathy for the common man. Mental illness is at an all-time high, wages are low, poverty is incredibly visible, and based off of postings on Reddit, Facebook, etc. there's a general attitude of being despondent due to the current economic and political climate. Something has to change, and it can only really start at the top - with government taking care of its citizens rather than constantly destroying the few social safety nets left.
> Where are they supposed to go?

One idea: to report themselves to the appropriate intelligence bureau of their home country with documents about their parentage. They can get their appropriate citizenship there and then apply for permanent residency in Canada.

A special immigration class could be created for their particular circumstance (they are not "skilled worker" or "family class" or any of that sort of thing), but in other regards they have to join the same immigration queue as everyone else.

Of course, if they have any serious criminal record or anything in Canada, they can forget about it.

Often these types of suicides aren't given publicity, though this one was too much of a spectacle to ignore.

There was a man who shot himself on the steps of a government(?) building, which is a town over from where I'm originally from, because he was laid off.

A friend showed me the note he left on Facebook before it got deleted. It was very clear that he had been struggling financially for years and the layoff was the final straw.

In a sense, the way he went out was his attempt to bring attention to the problems he faced and believes others were facing, too. While I'm not an advocate of martyrdom, it's kind of sad that the very act he thought would shine light on his suffering was disappeared from the record.
The problem is that the kind of people that would be convinced by proper graphs and analysis like this are not the kind of people that need convincing on this issue. They are not the type of people who value science, logic, or reason. No matter the evidence, they will place beliefs and unsubstantiated opinions ahead of evidence and in places like the US, where people are often taught that beliefs are equally or more important than evidence and facts, you get a culture of anti-intellectualism that supports policies that hurt the entirety of humanity. We should remind people that beliefs are just opinions and as the old adage goes, opinions are like assholes: everyone's got one and they're not particularly interesting or compelling. They certainly should not be the basis of policy.
This definitely lines up with my experience as we ramp up to the announcement and release of our current game in a similar space. There is so much anxiety about the creative reception, if and how well the service will scale, if we can run it profitably, and any number of unknown unknowns that could make (or more likely break) the success of the game. It’s stressful to put it mildly.
