Reduce the power and reach of the state. Stop giving it more social territory and more power. Start taking things away from it aggressively, remove its regulation of our personal and business lives. You either let the bear stick its nose into the basket or you don't.

The US Government involves itself in every single aspect of our lives, and that has to stop if you want to reduce their bad behavior. They have to be taught that there are things that are off limits and there are behaviors that are unacceptable. In short, the American public has allowed the monster in DC to sprawl entirely out of control, for roughly 70 years. The US military is half the size of the entire Russian economy now. The US Government is the size of Germany's entire economy. Who could possibly hold that thing to account? It's too big.

The US isn't a small soft cuddly bunny like Finland. WW2 and forward it's a rolling war machine that was built to defeat the monsters of Europe and Asia. That's what the military industrial complex was created to do. More recently, for 40 years it held the Soviet Empire - another European monster - in check in Europe and Asia. The genie has never been put back into the box, it roams the streets daily as the military industrial complex, and it spills into every aspect of daily American life. From the spy agencies, to homeland security & border control, to defense contractors, to foreign military adventurism or nation building, to our police militization, to how we interact with our allies. Both political sides are overwhelmingly guilty of kowtowing to it and expanding it, and using it as a stick when it's convenient. Who wants to give up that much power?

And the $200 billion plus we'd save by putting that WW2 genie back into the box, can go toward more important priorities.

The problem? It requires a dramatic increase in US isolationism. The US must pull entirely back from trying to police every corner of the planet both militarily and politically, which every globalist in DC is yelling at the top of their lungs trying to prevent from happening.

We can't have it both ways. We can be the WW2 global juggernaut that polices all, acting as a shield for Europe and Asia. Or we can shut that all down, demilitarize across the board and redirect our priorities to domestic social welfare. In short, we can start behaving like a normal nation again. We either do it voluntarily (sparing ourselves immense pain and treasure), or eventually the cost gets high enough ($21 trillion and counting) that we'll be forced to do it regardless.
That is certainly an option we'd like to support. The temperature thresholds and effects will be configurable, loaded from a file into memory.

The peppered moth and melanism: testing an iconic example of evolution in action
It seems like Docker is in a really awkward place as a company. Their strategy was clearly to get everyone on the container hyper train then monetize by selling the production orchestration / runtime. But Kubernetes happened and GCP / AWS have rolled out competition in all the other supporting system needed; container registries, build pipelines, etc. What is the actual pitch for Docker EE now? Their marketing is pushing hard on 'security', but otherwise it seems like they are just selling a pretty UI for K8s. I don't see that being enough to support a company that has taken 250M in funding.
I mention in the talk that our fuzz tester, Guido Vranken, moved on to fuzzing WAVM (the wasm jit engine used in EOS) after v8. He earned some bounties (only some of them were related to WAVM) and several articles were written about it. I believe WAVM has some constants that can be set low enough to prevent JIT bombs, but I didn't follow the details so I'm not sure. Check out this commit, in particular the changes to WASMSerialization.cpp: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/commit/af02ebba5d5797b6dcc2f06b...
I didn't say that that churn is a good thing.

The github-issue and a sibling are folks asking this question. Why? Lingering bugs? Waiting for features? That the question is open is the concern.

And again, compared to my existing tooling which is not having that question and has momentum.

Evaluated against docker (a recent move for us) but didn't choose. We also looked a "roll your own" type solutions - required expertise our team didn't have.

The Chinese government deployed a similar tactic in Sri Lanka, building a sea part that is unnecessary, with easy loans, which Sri Lanka defaulted on, leading to China taking ownership. It then deployed a submarine to the port, alarming both Sri Lanka and India.

Model-Based Machine Learning (eBook)
On a dispassionate level there is a sense that the country is still in its eternal war on terrorism, and sacrifices must be made. By powerless, generally poor and marginal people of course. Poor kids need to enlist and die in a dessert, poor people need submit to indignities and abuse from police, airport security, and prisons. It’s the same playbook from the war on drugs, and every other American “war” for a very long time. A lot of the country is also poorly educated, very religious, and has strong ideas about what proper patriotism entails, and overbearing security theater is a good thing in that regime.

Half of the US falls into the crowd that wants more prisons, tougher laws, kill dem turrurists, and fuck the socialists. It is an ironic truth that a majority of those people are adversely affected by their own positions.

If you go back in back and study their history, the US has been divided this way as a means to control poor whites by pitting them against (primarily) blacks, and more recently non-whites in general. Not much has changed except the window dressing. Wealthy people need to keep people distracted and at each other’s throats, because otherwise those people tend to work together for better conditions and that hurts the bottom line.

Racism exists elsewhere of course, but in the US it’s woven into the culture in a very specific way, and even after the racism itself departs, the poisonous politics remain ossified. Where racism fails, wars are used. Wars on drugs, wars on terror, gang wars, etc. anyone who’s against getting groped for freedom obviously hates the troops, blah blah. You get the idea. As a result you get liberals calling for reforms and regulations to an extreme, and libertarians calling for dismantling the government to a massive degree. Since both ideas are fundamentally half-baked and unlikely to succeed in the unnuanced and ideologically loaded forms they take, they’re ignored by centrists just trying to hold on to some vision of the middle class.

The result is social and political gridlock, which is acceptable when there’s so much money to be made by the relatively small group in power. Any time people look like cooperating it’s just a matter of a new war on something or actual war, and then it’s business as usual. People are struggling, but business is good.
Not sure if they can remove the rules of no illusions. The bots would completely wreck the humans if they were allowed to use illusions. I don't even want to think what would happen if they learnt how to use phantom lancer or nature's prophet. Most people throw all their illusions/summons into one bucket and the hero into another. The AI being able to control each unit perfectly would be terrifying.
Can you figure out how the person is scraping your site? If so, start putting in content that only shows up for that scraper, such as...

...or maybe...

TL;DR-ish

Here are the things I personally learned from this:

1. Event-Driven thinking is natural to the human brain, more than imperative.

2. “unless” at the end of a sentence is not that bad. That’s mind-blowing cause I don’t have a Ruby background and I always thought unless was the same as “not not true”, but it isn’t. It depends(tm) how it’s being used.

3. Loops are hard to understand over collections. Nothing new here I guess, that’s why we abstract.

Please point out anything I missed or if I got something wrong.

If immigrants are depressing salaries, how do you explain $120,000 (base + stock + bonus) for fresh graduates, paid by Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, etc?
https://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/05/heres-how-much-new-grads-wil...

It's a hardened belief that jobs are a zero-sum game — and from this arises the idea that every skilled immigrant takes away a job from a U.S. worker. This isn't true. More skilled, educated workers will actually add to the economy — and grow the economy.

Some companies abuse the system, and the abuse must be stopped. But immigration of the best and the brightest is what made this country a superpower, and must be encouraged.

Does the study control for wealth of the family? If not, it's poorly designed.
How do you do it without throwing an error?

My philosophy has been to ignore the error if it's a re-application of the migration because the migration _is_ idempotent. So ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN bar INT either succeeds (because there is no bar column) or it fails (because there is a bar column) with no harm done.
>And people who are living and working in America are American, they may just not be citizens.

Since when? I have literally never heard this. This is a patently absurd claim to make. Just because someone lives here does not mean they are "American", unless you think that all of the inputs to national identity are vapid, meaningless attributes that are completely transferable.

>We're talking about work visas, which means those people move here and thus become your neighbors, so you'd have to extend that "natural tribal instinct" defense beyond place of residence.

Just because someone has moved in next door does not mean they are now "part of your tribe". This has never been true throughout history, and it will not magically become true today regardless of the outcome of this immigration debate.
I agree with what you're saying but the problem is nobody wants the government out of things they personally want it involved in. Go in other threads and people will be arguing for more government involvement in X or Y with obvious potential for scope creep into the business of individuals.

Thanks! We were extremely excited about the news and reading the rejection email later was heart breaking.
The app phoning home to do analytics is fine with me. I just want the download links so I don't have to sign in to download the app. I will almost definitely sign into the app so I can use the features where signing in are actual value adds. (Also, if they ever removed the direct links, it would really suck for automated deployments.)

But really, I don't care that strongly. I do, however, wish to use, if possible, an open source solution. Why? Because I had a problem with Docker for Windows and I couldn't debug it. As I understand it, this is actually pretty similar to the reasoning behind Linux being developed.
Dreamhost is pretty close to self-hosting. I can SSH in. I can download all of the files in my Wordpress installation, copy them elsewhere, dump my MySQL db, copy that elsewhere and have it running on another machine. The only way it differs from a VM is that I don't have root.

Dreamhost actually does, iirc, allow me to get the same experience with a VM.

Really, I'd argue that anyone offering Wordpress in such a way that you can easily download all of your data and put it somewhere else is fine on the self hosting axis.

And lots of people do pay for hosting, but there are millions more who won't pay even $1/month.

I don't believe this. I think humans are capable of rapid change if appealed to their emotions in a powerful way. I think kids are the key to this and I am willing to try it. Imagine if 1000 people wrote urgent messages that actually reached these people who have significant control over how things are produced - that has to make some impact!
This basically never happens.

There is no way for your employer to verify this information.

And even if they DID, do this, 6 months later, if they fire you then they just lost that 3 months of training time that they spent on you.

Sure, they might do it anyway if they are spiteful and idiotic. But most of the time Ive learned that businesses don't like wasting money.

And the immoral people in this situation is the COMPANY, for engaging in this shady negotiation practice. They deserve anything that happens to them if they engage in this behavior.

Er, any links about the Kubernetes changes? They spent multiple releases adopting and moving to CRI. Meaning any CRI implementation can be used in his where docker(shim) was previously used. This includes -- containerd, crio, kata, pouch, gvisor, and at least three more whose names I forget.

Hardcoding another container runtime would be disappointing to see and highly surprising.

Also, since no one anywhere in this thread is talking about it... You can get Dockers container execution engine without any of the "docker". Docker has spent significant time and presumably money splitting out `containerd` and I'm surprised it's not mentioned in this thread so far. It's compatible with Kuberenetes CRI, etc, etc.
If that were true, they wouldn't have faked the picture.

AFAIK, the number considered is salary, so the number is decently high, even for bay area. There are some exceptions like Netflix, but a lot of companies pay majority in equity, especially at higher salary levels.

I don't know how easy/difficult would it be for companies to move from equity based compensation to normal salary though, if something like that is implemented.

As for Norway, to avoid the Dutch disease they made several crucial decisions [2] early on, one of them being to encourage the development of a healthy, competitive private oil/gas sector while still retaining the majority of revenue and oil fields. They also funneled the profits into the now-famous sovereign wealth fund.

This has pretty much always been standard, and barring some sort of change in regulation, very likely always will be.

Horse racing has been pari-mutuel for a century, ever since the invention of the totalizator. The odds change as bets are placed, the bettors are betting against each other, and the house takes a cut. The track operator takes no financial risk. Sports betting, for some reason, usually doesn't work that way. Except, for some reason, golf and jai alai, which have pari-mutuel betting.

It's surprising that the online betting world didn't go pari-mutuel. Probably nobody would trust the service to compute the odds honestly.
> No shit the bookies don't wanna take their bets.

Why doesn't the bookmaker watch how these guys bet then adjust the odds accordingly?

As long as the books are balanced, they'll make money.

And if the data science guys have better probabilities, then the new odds should make more money for the bookies on the other side.
Not just money.... OLD money, or at least old property, much of which is actually ruinously expensive to keep up.
Thanks Sam. It was a crappy situation, but the way you folks have been handling it helps take the sting out.
I made it through 1/4 of the article and couldn’t take the reading experience. I’m on an iPhone and it was nonstop ads and odd breaks in content. Bummed!
I'm surprised to see rkt mentioned so much. This thread has a very 2017 vibe and doesn't seem to account for m(any) of the changes in Kubernetes (CRI), docker/containerd, anything with regard to what RH is doing as they bet more and more on this space. Anyway...

Red Hat's crio is a much more obvious contender in this space (my issues with RH "marketing" of crio vs containerd aside). A slightly different scope, but even Kata's future seems more promising than rkt's.

Or, just use containerd if you just want a clearly OSS engine with the weight of docker behind it. ('containerd' is Docker's container engine, effectively)
Then they are going to make the plastic package part of a cheap accessory for whatever they are selling. They are already doing that to boast the feature list of their products: "Practical widget holder included!"
>According to Bannon, Amicus’s back taxes, interest and penalties, and legal fees cost the company over $500,000.

Ok, so how much of that was just back taxes? They would have had to pay those anyway, so you can't really count those the same as a penalty.

$500,000 - (back taxes) = actual losses due to negligence.

Now compare the actual losses to the salary for a CFO. If the CFO cost more than the losses, Amicus still came out ahead.

I am not advocating for negligence, but you should always look for point of view bias in articles like this.
And moreso, if you want to make money just charge money for something. Don't do scumbag stuff like collect emails to sell to marketers. Make something people are willing to pay for, and charge them money for it.
This entire thing is very eerie. Someone might rumor that you have had argument with some female non-employee yesterday in a bar and next day you could be unemployed. Employers are now frequently rolling out judgements if employees don't conform to their world view even outside of work. An employer unilaterally decides if unlocking a phone for person X fits in to their fency and whims. Sure, you can say that vote with your wallet but the bigger question is why we as citizens should accept such unabashed power bestowed to any entity to roll out decisions that should be made by court of laws with due process.
The difference between a fair market where immigrants can compete for American jobs and the current state of affairs is massive.

The Visa lottery system keeps workers locked into lower paying wages that what they could get as full citizens under the same exact circumstances.

Big tech can leverage deportation against you because you can't "walk away" from a job offer with as low risk as an American could.

"No immigration restrictions" and 100% immigration restritions are both better solutions than the status quo.

I personally believe more lenient immigration laws will help everyone.
What does it mean if I received a rejection email first and then an acceptance to the Advisor track? Is there still a Founder track that I didn't get into or am I about to receive a rejection email? I'm confused.
Yes. The article says that they pay immigrant visa holders less, not that paying them less is the reason that they supposedly did this:

> The DOL’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs determined that the technology firm secured visas for foreign workers instead of hiring U.S. citizens for certain jobs and paid the visa holders at a lower rate than their American counterparts, according to the sources.
The worst example of this to me is people in the narrow aisles of small grocery stores. I am constantly aware of people approaching from either side so that I can preemptively make way for them to pass. And yet I see people who remain utterly oblivious to others despite being asked over a dozen times in a handful of minutes to give room to squeeze by.

Certainly nobody—including myself—is perfect about this, but it’s inconceivable to me how someone can be so unaware of the people around them, especially after having been asked repeatedly to move out of the way.
What additional data does Google get through AMP that they don't get through Google Analytics?
Mmm thats what I did. I had no idea downloading the DMG from the website required some kind of registration.
I agree. The US Government is large enough to act as a thing that each person can say: hey, I want you to get involved into this thing and fix it for me (and fix it in the way I want you to). There should be a law! And now we're choking to death on the world's biggest pile of laws and regulations.

What are they doing regulating marriage for example? It's a contract between consenting adults. Why can't I get married to three people if I want to (not joking)? The notion that we have this giant sprawling thing so deep into our personal lives that it's regulating social behavior in that way, is disgusting and absurd. The marriage thing is one example, however it applies to nearly everything today. The same reason they're knee deep into marriage, is the same reason they're knee deep into drug regulation, etc.

This quote seems to have no parent (it's incorrectly attributed to Jefferson), however I happen to agree with it:

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take away everything that you have."

You can be certain a government that big, will routinely over-step, as it's pervasive. Hungry bears do not have a healthy respect for boundaries.

It then goes on to say:

>Going further still, engineers disabled the add-ons in users’ browsers, effectively wiping them from the entire ecosystem.

Which does make the title seem fairly appropriate.
> I'd much rather have say a badge in the address bar of the browser (similar to the https badge) saying a site was gdpr compliant and used cookies

This would also be much easier to implement. Just add a GDPR-Compliant header (or similar), and the browser already knows if there are cookies.

I think the actual issue is that browsers are open source/non-commercial things that are usually owned by companies in the US (a place where EU laws do not directly apply). They would have to ask nicely instead of making it a law.
