Even that doesn't quite fit, I think. It makes sense for Redis, but in a lot of other master/slave topologies, what's actually happening is that 1. a group is electing a leader; 2. the leader says what is happening; and then 3. everyone (including the leader) all does what the leader said, concurrently.

I feel like there is probably an exact term for this arrangement, from another discipline. Maybe choreography?

• There are principal dancers and back-up dancers. People performing the same action are dancing in unison.

• There are cheerleading captains and their squads, which consist of the roles of base, flyer, and spotter. Interestingly, being captain (giving orders) is disjoint from a member's performative role within the squad; a member of any role could also be the captain.

• There are operatic prima donnas (or primo uomos)—the lead singers—and a chorus, though these are not mirrored.

• Orchestral organization has tons of different roles: the orchestral ensemble composed of players; their conductor; the principal of each section; the concertmaster (the principal of the section leading the melody of the piece, usually the first violin section.) You can also speak of accompaniment.

Interestingly, most of these disciplines lack a term for "everyone of a group being led, besides the leader." I would assume that this is because the leader is taking part in the group, and so there is no explicit action taken by the group-minus-the-lead, only actions taken by the lead or taken by the group as a whole. (On the other hand, for machines, it is useful to talk about the process of following the lead's... lead. Humans generally do this implicitly, and don't really refer to it as an explicit action they're undertaking, separately from the actions that they're mirroring.)
> fixing money in politics can help address this issue.

The Warren proposal addresses corporate money in politics. It's not a total solution, perhaps, but it's also more concrete than most alternatives, and doesn't rely on either abolishing the defining feature of the corporate form or tossing out core political speech protections of the First Amendment, which are problems of the alternatives that aren't so vague as to be meaningless.

I don't expect a lawyer or a business analyst to use command line interfaces, and I don't think they expect software engineers to code in Word...
Source? Ericsson themselves state that Erlang is a backbone of LTE, with "Many smartphones are connected for data transfer using Erlang software.".

Seeing as Ericsson doesn't make cell phones, this would directly imply that critical portions of their base station software are written in Erlang.

The threat to take away federal funding for places that don’t accept housing growth may be more effective than a brute force approach in the end, who knows.

I believe this is similar to the approach the feds used to move the drinking age to 21 [1], and the old nationwide 55 mph speed limit [2]. They didn't force states to create laws, just said "Federal highway funding will be drastically reduced to states that do not meet X" and magically, this was done.

It is not easy to get any FDA approval. Companies go bankrupt after spending millions and still don't get approved.
Not true. Adding vitamin D3, vitamin K2 MK-4, iodine/iodide, boron, silica (monomethylsilanetriol), etc does a lot to slow decline. And eventually topical pregnenolone + DHEA (5 mg : 5 mg). Strength training is also great.

If exercise continues into old age without proper nutrition and the additions mentioned above, it can worsen decline. And just adding supplements, improving nutrition, and ensuring regular movement (ie, not really exercising) still slows decline.
In the interest of keeping my stubborn image, I also meant copying code. If no tangible thing is taken that leaves the other without that thing, I'd say it is unethical to not share it.

News organizations provide a service (news reporting). News aggregators provide a service (news aggregation). Why shouldn't they both get paid?

Why should news organizations be entitled to profit from unauthorized access and distribution of third-party content while the creators are left with the bill of creating it? Shouldn't they be paying the celebrities they gossip about for doing all the "noteworthy" things they do and giving them something to drive readership with?

The obvious flaw is that it's a symbiotic relationship. News organizations want traffic from Google in the way that celebrities and companies and politicians want news coverage (in the "no such thing as bad press" sense). They see Google's market cap and think they're making all this money, but the money isn't from news aggregation. That's peanuts. And if you're making a dime and they're making a nickel and you demand a dollar more, you don't get a dollar more, you get a dime less.
Suggesting that a vote alone is a reasonable level of political activity to get anything done is absurd in 2018. You have to tweet, write, call, march, etc. Votes are determined in such a mass number that as an individual your voice is effectively worthless if it's only a vote. Obviously, you should still vote, but it's not enough.

Hence, why we scream our heads off over things like this.

I'm unable to find a source right now, but I remember reading in like the New Yorker or something YEARS ago about how all throughout the 50s-90s, the TV content ratings and what appeared on television was functionally decided by an organization titled something along the lines of "Christian Mothers of America," who would mass-write studios based on a similar value set. Given that this was the most tactile feedback the studios were getting (bearing in mind they're also getting ratings and viewership numbers), this was the primary determinate of TV content for decades.

“drinking culture” is often the only way to socialize in groups, and not necessarily alcoholism. But it can very well be.

Compare it to other “drug cultures”, e.g. cocaine. Of course users socialize heavily, but that does not mean that they are not addicted or harming themselves.

Based just on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Chinese_currency#So... , it doesn't look like that could have happened in 1100. It goes on to say there was a brief window 200 years later when this might have happened:

> The Yuan government attempted to prohibit all transactions in or possession of silver or gold, which had to be turned over to the government.

> Under Külüg Khan the levels of inflation rose to 80% as the government kept printing more banknotes due, and in order to ensure the government’s control on the currency Külüg Khan [r. 1307-1311] banned the usage of silver and gold coins, and stopped the circulation of silver certificates in favour of fiat banknotes.

How do you judge impartial objectively? You can't even handle fake news without it being a cudgel for censors denying reality. Pure stats won't work and as seen with the moderation problem with Facebook not advocating their partisan view sets off their persecution complex.

Side note, if you are interested in skills that "everybody knew 100 years ago", there are much better books to be had. "The American boys Handy book" comes to mind.

Of course those books assume that there are things like a junk model T in the backyard that you are free to take parts from or otherwise destroy. Just to name one change in circumstances.

> the beloved ones from FOSS.

I don't recall these being "beloved". This sounds like a troll to me.

Sure Intel do FOSS graphics driver development, but I doubt they've ever been beloved due to their constant scandals (ME and Meltdown recently, and further back there's ClassMate, Itanium/Itanic, etc.)

AMD promised open drivers. We're still waiting.

ARM systems are usually locked down and full of blobs (e.g. for graphics, etc.). Plus ARM don't make chips, they just sell licenses to their designs to third parties, which is completely anti-FOSS.

Google do support a lot of FOSS development, but their online monopolies and spying infrastructure have always kept people suspicious.

Apple has a habit of turning liberally licensed FOSS into proprietary software (e.g. OSX is based on Mach and BSD, Safari is based on KHTML, etc.). Their mobile OS also requires programs to be signed, and they charge a $99 fee for developers to get a certificate.

As far as I'm aware IBM have historically been the enemy. They certainly pushed Linux forward around the millenium, but since then I've not come across them outside bloated "enterprise solutions" that I doubt many in the FOSS world would consider relevant.

The article is about Equifax, but based on the histories and subsequent employment of other suspect individuals they are far from the only target. Any FI or related should be concerned.

The common goal seems to be to get their foot in the door within a subset of 3-5 American financial verticals (the "b-b-but I just work in marketing!" excuse as an obscenely common insider position that doesn't attract any scrutiny at all, unlike someone working in engineering or R&D. Seriously-- you want to find the spies in your company? Start with marketing), exfiltrate everything they can access and retreat to China for a cushy job and enjoyment of immunity against extradition. By the time the target catches on and law enforcement gets spun up, they've already finished their tour of duty with two to three other companies and are on a plane halfway across the Pacific.

It's hard to do anything about it without either implementing literal racist policies or comprehensively overhauling an entire industry's security posture, but it is what it is.

In essence, they get to tell themselves (mostly convincingly so) that they have contributed to reduce inequality and discrimination, and are helping right a historical wrong.

> The motions are perfectly safe

In theory, sure. In reality, not even close. I guarantee there isn't a single person in this thread who could tell me what someone's squat form should look like based on their femur:torso ratio and hip/ankle flexibility. Should they squat high bar or low bar? Wide or narrow stance? Parallel or below parallel? Flat shoes or heel lifts? If you can't easily answer all of those questions, you have no business squatting anything more than the bar.

Squats, bench presses and deadlifts are extremely complex, high-risk lifts that serve no purpose for the average, non-competitive weightlifter. There are plenty of lower-risk alternatives that can achieve the same results.

> If a society operated on the types of practices that are considered "appropriate" in computing, we'd be liable to label them as savages.

There are many industries with similar, parallel, practices that are directly at odds with serving the "user." For example, groceries. A typical grocery store presents a selection of products in a grocery aisle. This presentation is not optimized to give the shopper the best experience, lowest prices, or highest quality products.

The products, and product displays, are optimized to extract the most profit from the shopper, often resulting in inferior products. Grocery stores also collect and analyze reams of data about individual shoppers -- again, not for the purpose of providing better value for the shoppers, but for extracting maximum profit from them. Want that data back? Good luck!
>Just relax and be yourself

nah. socializing is performing by necessity.

"being myself" would entail picking apart people when they say silly/ignorant things regarding religion, science, etc. it'd be interrupting people and explaining how their favorite TV shows are full of holes. how their prattle about celebrities speaks to the emptiness of their heads. it'd be playing the devil's advocate when nobody is looking for a balanced discussion. it'd be going on long monologues on various topics. these are not endearing traits to have. i know that i wouldn't want to be around such a person for long.

maybe this is why social interactions can't be relaxing for some people. once you know that being yourself and "relaxing" is extremely grating on other people, you know to keep it tightly under wraps, which circumvents any relaxation in social situations.

It's true that the neoliberal wing of the party that has been dominant since the early 1990s won't like to much, but the neoliberal wing recently has seen a number of incumbent office holders go down to primary challengers from the progressive wing. The neoliberal wing’s support in the Democratic electorate isn't nearly as strong as their current strength in office would suggest, and some of them are no doubt starting to realize that.

They are arguing that the surveillance core of adtech is a GDPR violation, if I understand correctly.

> The complaint argues that when a person visits a website, intimate personal data that describe them and what they are doing online is broadcast to tens or hundreds of companies without their knowledge in order to auction and place ads.

It would be great if someone with real expertise in GDPR or adtech could provide context: Isn't this violation obvious and therefore don't the adtech companies have a strategy prepared? Could a ruling effectively outlaw the modern surveillance-based online business model and therefore wouldn't this issue be existential for adtech?

I don't know the details of GDPR and its application; perhaps this issue is narrower than it appears or maybe there are substantial ways to workaround a ruling and preserve the adtech model.
