I agree a 100%.

It really is annoying to need to be able to login to download the binaries and being dishonest with the user base is not a good approach in order to build great company-customer relations.
But all this hate and frustration being channeled on the docker team/this issue is like people just bandwagoning on a issue where somebody addressed a issue in a respectful manner and they see it as an invitation to just shit on people, like "oh they fucked up, lets give em hell until the people responsible for this curse the day they were born".
It is a really poor behaviour. I don't believe any of them haters would approach people like this when being confronted with them face to face.

A people's lack of identity in a nation is a civil problem. Technology does not solve civil problems. I don't see any indication in this article how blockchain-based identities will solve the civil problems faced by the Rohingya people; specifically, if the nation they are in does not want to grant them citizenship or basic rights, I don't see how asserting one's identity in the blockchain solves that.

The article states: "Noor’s goal is to give Rohingya the power to reclaim their identities with a resilient system that their host countries will recognise, allowing them access to social programmes, legal rights, education and healthcare." But that's begging the question. The problem is that the state won't recognize them. Why would a blockchain based solution change that?

If it's no one's business to approve or disapprove, then Facebook should not be allowed to display comments sorted any way other than chronological.

Facebook is drawing more attention to specific posts, and it honestly doesn't matter whether its done by manual intervention or automatic algorithm. It's not hyperbole to claim that Facebook _already_ approves what you get to read on their site.
I did one of my four years at a very large public university, and my experience there was much more like you describe. I would have preferred that, ultimately. I didn't know at the time.

Possibly, college kids (or secondary school kids heading into college) don't commonly understand there could be a significant difference in instruction. Or maybe it was just me.

Not exclusively American, but very 'modern'. I recently watched commercial TV in the UK (I usually stick to BBC) and it was appalling to see adverts for codeine advertised for day-to-day back pain. Like it's a trivial thing.

The cause of back pain is, in day-to-day circumstances, because of bad posture. It can be fixed by stopping the bad posture, with some good habits and perhaps yoga. You can make money from yoga, but not enough for national TV advertising budgets.

Luckily in the UK we don't have the completely insane position of having prescription drugs being advertised in mainstream media. I think that is peculiarly North American.

(Yes of course there are serious chronic conditions, for those you see a doctor not watch a TV advert)

People seem to be missing something in this particular point of the conversation. It's not a function of absolute price. It's a function of price-per-performance. Sure, a lot of the crowd here can afford the 1080 or the Titan, but the bang-for-buck favors the lower-end cards.
Thanks, that is helpful and I'll have a look.

Even so, I still don't understand the phrase "mainstreaming of behavior" and the connection to Abu Graib.

If I take that phrase seriously, I would imagine it means some process similar the militarization of the U.S. police force after the Iraq war. There, dehumanizing types of "occupation" tactics came from a place hidden to most Americans (Iraq) to American towns and cities themselves. Combined with the anti-terrorism federal grant money, there is a clear cause and effect that I've seen reported in various mainstream investigative reports over the past decade. (I don't have footnotes atm but happy to provide them if anyone really hasn't heard about this connection.)

So in my example, you have systems, tactics, defense contractors, and in some cases the soldiers themselves coming back to militarize the U.S. police force. So something hidden-- troop behavior abroad-- went mainstream-- local and regional police in U.S.

What's the meaning of "mainstreaming of behavior" in the GP's example? How did guard's prisoner abuse in the U.S. South turn into broader atrocities like Abu Graib?

I'm not saying there's not a connection there, and I'd certainly like to learn about it if it exists.

But if I seem snide, it's because I don't think there is any good reason an educated American citizen should have any foreknowledge of the connection the GP seems to be making between Abu Graib and prisoner abuse in the U.S. South. Don't tell people they weren't "paying attention" when you can cite high quality investigative journalism. And if there's no high quality investigative journalism, don't make the remark.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but microplastics aren't only in our fish but it's also in American tap water. There is no water filter that I know of available to the consumer public that is fine enough to filter out microplastics of under 3 microns or something like that.

As some commenters have mentioned, these microplastics come from laundry, and more.

I'm currently working on developing disposable pads that are safe with a national Toms one for one model. Current pads and tampons from major brands are made with cotton that can have dioxin as a byproduct from the bleaching process, as well as rayon. Tiny pieces of rayon can get stuck and lead to complications like BVI, bacterial vaginosis. If a tampon can lead to health issues because of the plastic that can disintegrate in her body - I'm kind of really scared about what other type of damage microplastics in our drinking water can do. I mean we already have pictures of what it does to fish. What do microplastics do to the human body?

This is one of the things where I wish I was wrong, so if anyone can educate me on how this is an irrational anxiety, I'd appreciate it!

> for the Asia region.

Depending on where you are in Asia, this is a hard one. I run a company with geo-distributed systems, and even having a few Asian-base servers it is still difficult to reach the whole region. You almost need to have datacenters in every country to make it work effectively.

Not saying it's an excuse…it is $7B after all. That buys a few servers in many different regions. :)

Edit:

To continue my thought. Here are a few of the issues you're facing:

- China has the GFW.
- South Korea has very subpar links to anything outside South Korea.
- SE Asia is tons of undersea cables with limited capacity.

This issue is very likely to be somewhat outside their control, since it sounds very much like a bandwidth issue they may not have the ability to rectify.
How can a "service" be scraped, unless the service is just making content available?

Or are you referring to the copy that promotes the service?

Scraping is very easy if your content is rendered on the server. If it's rendered on the client it's a little more complex, I guess your competitor would have to use headless browsers.

Technologically, you're potentially up against services like Crawlera which will be pretty hard to beat.

The best solution is probably filing copyright claims through DMCA which would remove them from Google rankings.

While I'd be absolutely certain they both spy on me (for various degrees of "spying"), I trust Google to better safeguard the data it collects about me.

Huawei is more likely to do a poor job of keeping said data to itself, either intentionally (selling it outright) or by getting hacked.

I'm convinced Google wouldn't sell my data - it is immensely more valuable to them if they're the only ones with it. That said, they'd still use it - to target and profile me, and of course I expect them both to share it with the respective governments.

Moreover, if I use Google services through a Huawei phone, they both end up with my data, while if I use a google device at least it's just Google. I'm not enthusiastic about either, but, hey, lesser of two evils.

(For the record I have an iPhone and try to avoid giving Google too much data about me)
I have periodic trouble with panic attacks at night, when I'm trying to sleep, usually linked to times of external stress. I thought it was insomnia. In the moment, they're miserable - rapid pulse, cold sweat, numb hands, impending doom, the whole shebang. The next day, after just a few hours of sleep, there's hell to pay. The next night, I lay in bed afraid it's going to happen again and that I'll get no sleep again - so of course it happens again. Finally, after a few days I'm so tired I fall asleep the moment I hit the bed, with no time to fret about anything, and the cycle ends.

I was trying to write about it as insomnia one day , looking over my list of symptoms, when it clicked that it didn't sound like other descriptions of insomnia. Once I figured out they were panic attacks I was able to take a step back and look at the cycle, so I don't have week-long waves of this anymore. The next night I decide I don't want to sleep - maybe I want to do an extra load of laundry, inexplicably at midnight when I've hardly slept, absurd as it is. It works, at least.

My cat loves the panic attacks though. I stay up later, and I'm petting her the whole time trying to calm down. Great for her.
I suspect the winner will end up being the company with the least morals.

Google is likely already out of the running; between Maven and Dragonfly, the Pentagon has to be aware that there's no commitment they can make that doesn't come with an "if our employees don't revolt over it" asterisk. Given the questionable crud our defense department gets into, they'd probably want to avoid that condition at all expenses.

Microsoft probably wouldn't be too far behind on that train, I've seen some Microsoft folks upset about some their projects too. Not sure about Amazon, have we heard about upset Amazon employees on a cloud project yet? Oracle has never been too ashamed to play the villain, so I'm sure they'd be willing to do whatever the Pentagon wants.

And as a sidebar, single-sourcing all cloud services for the department of defense is still a dumb idea.

ASP.NET Core Testing Tools and Strategies
It's one of the reasons I like Java. People call it a "verbose" language, but it's such a simple language syntax-wise that the IDE knows most of the time exactly what's going on in the editor window. Static typing helps, too, of course.

I remember working with C++ in Visual Studio when that new refactoring plugin became popular (tomatoe something something? later bought by Microsoft) and although the plugin tried its best, it often stopped working with files with a lot of ifdefs and macros.

B removed some features from BCPL that were too expensive to implement. I never understood why they didn't continue that idea in C by applying it to the syntax as well. Wirth knew what he was doing.
To add to retric, Kroger does the same kind of thing. Their workers clean the tables, shelves, and so on. The floor people that push the machine and sweep in the morning are Hispanic contractors that barely speak English. The only exception Ive ever seen shopping there was one store where they were all Eastern European who barely spoke English. Given areas' demographics and company's workers, I think it's safe to assume they're contracting in immigrants to exploit them for low pay and avoid giving them benefits. It was also a running joke for some workers I talked to.
Yes everything I write in Clojurescript gets ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS and works fine. Also I have found that I get a lot more gain without having the language get in my way with functional programming vs strong static typing. Especially when you want to interact with the rest of the JavaScript ecosystem. The development story in Clojurescript is amazing too with figwheel.

Did Elm change how it uses strings as a fundamental part of certain language constructs? That would break the advanced optimizations. According to the github issues tracker as well as mailing list comments from last year, these were not likely going to change in the language and therefore advanced optimizations are very fragile and likely to break on code in subtle ways.

Note that Elm has always appeared to work on the surface with advanced optimizations, but the bugs would creep in and show up eventually, and the official advice has always been not to use those optimizations.

I am generally with you, the one exception being Syria. Time will tell if we were on the wrong side in Syria. If you understand Russian geopolitics, just taking Russian interests for account alone (not trying to wage some third party war with the US), it absolutely makes sense for them to have supported Assad. There were other ways to take him down, most of them were diplomatic. Instead, the US decided to fund Islamic Extremist mercenaries which don't necessarily have a great world wide reputation, either.

Generally, I am not a fan of the US's "regime change" strategies, at least in the middle east. They were unmitigated disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya is still struggling with warring factions, Syria would have descended into chaos with 3 interested parties struggling for control (pretty safe to say the Saudi-backed fighters would have won, after another bloody conflict, of course), and of course, it will remain to be seen what happens in Yemen which curiously has very sparse media coverage here in the US.

Warning - my own opinion - I think historically, American regime change efforts were more likely to be accepted and succeed when the values of America roughly aligned with the values of the nation in conflict. This is clearly not the case anymore in the Middle East (maybe once was in the US, but not anymore) One thing Western Cultures just can't seem to be able to grasp is just how large the resistance of a country that takes their faith seriously to the liberal agendas that have taken root and are antithetical to Islam. It's the one thing governments fail to understand time and time again.
I'm not sure I would consider human prosperity a zero-sum game. Rather than military conquest, it seems the world powers are vying to own the technological walled garden we build for ourselves.
I remember setting up an appointment with my doctor to discuss treatment. I ended up talking to a nurse practitioner that day as the doctor was unavailable. Her immediate response to hearing my symptoms of panic and anxiety were to prescribe me a dose of lorazepam. I was a bit concerned that therapy wasn't the first suggestion and medication seemed like a slippery slope, so I didn't fill the prescription. Probably for the best, as I've seemed to manage on my own just fine.

That's true, Turbo Pascal was awesome. But to stay realist, it was rather an exception than the rule at the time.
One example I remember well is when CNN published "NFL ratings are down again this season. Is it time to panic yet?", then Trump talked about NFL ratings and CNN published "Trump says NFL ratings are 'way down.' That's not completely true".

The two were basically the same article, but the headline changed to disagree with Trump.

Hmm...downvotes without response? Guess this hit a nerve.
There is another side of this, which is workforce training and capabilities. As much as AWS / Azure / GCP are alike, their services and behaviors are very different at a detailed level of overview, requiring separate tooling and best practices. I could see someone wanting to procure a specific cloud vendor as their toolsets already support this.
Who signs the identity certificates? And who are "they" who maintain the repository? And who decides which commits are legitimate?

Git is a distributed database only if every copy eventually syncs to tip, and only if everyone can agree what "tip" is. Each of those conditions is hard to meet if the problem statement assumes that malicious actors have write access to the repo and can arbitrarily assert which fork is master.

F-number describes the aperture diameter, it has no way to affect anything. The same as meters do not affect the distance.

However, when you close the aperture on the large lens, the lens still stays large.
That was exactly my point: it is about aperture, not the lens size.

I get what you say about physically larger lenses having larger apertures in absolute dimensions, not the ratio, however that does not help smartphones, because of the distance of the focal plane and the sensor size. And this where the limiting factor is.

The "problem" with ClojureScript's integration is that you have to be careful when integrating other javascript libraries (which ClojureScript encourage you to do to save code size) as they might not be compatible with advanced mode. You could also write code in cljs which isn't compatible with advanced mode. Elm doesn't have this problem.

Elm also outputs smaller assets than cljs+closure.

That being said, I do love cljs, having used it on numerous projects myself :)
>> The average Greco-Roman was impoverished and had a life expectancy of around 35-40

This is more a problem with statistics than anything else. If anything, the median life expectancy should be measured. The reason that the average life expectancy is so low, is that infant mortality was very high (and the procedure of childbirth was extremely dangerous). This means an unusual high percentage of humans, that die very early in their lives. So the 'average', while being a correct average, skews the number downward and thus gives the false impression that the average person only got 30-40.

If a peasant survived into his 30ies, chances were high he would get into his 50ies.[0]

For the rest of your post: Yeah, I concur, the last thing any roman would have had in mind are animal rights. Not only was slavery the norm, this was a society where you could kill your slaves without repercussions. Human sacrifices in the form of gladiatorial games were not only common but THE social event. And the army had a punishment known as decimation (every 10th of a unit was selected by lot and killed). So, all in all a society with very little regard for human life, never mind the life of an animal...
