Why is it so taboo to talk about the fact that a significant portion of the political ruling class is eager to actively subvert democracy, no matter what technical solutions are available? The Republican Party does not care about electoral fairness, whether it’s papwr, electronic, or a physical show of hands. It is democracy itself they are opposed to, and will continue to amass power until bloodshed forces change.

Proposing technical solutions assumes all players wish for fair elections. This is not the case.
There are a few places that stay under the radar, but generally they don’t heavily promote the food side of the “experience”, and aim their businesses at non-locals who would be less likely to report them if they are not perfectly happy.

Another problem is that health laws are generally stronger and better enforced than taxi law. See [0] for the definition of a Food Establishment for Washington State. Also there are generally tip lines for reporting restaurants and it only takes 1 person to have a bad experience to shut down a location.

I'm of two minds to this. I have a personal POWER6 running AIX and it handles my main hosting and mail. It's a great box and I love the hardware, but the IBM salesdroids would never talk to me (I do all my business through a VAR), and the CUoD nonsense and having to use a whole separate HMC to manage the single LPAR is obnoxious.

On the other hand, I absolutely love my Talos II. It's not an IBM machine, but it's engineered by them; the POWER9 is IBM, a lot of the OpenPOWER and PowerNV stuff is still as IBM designed it, and IBM contributes hardware support.

So I understand this feeling when dealing with IBM as a vendor. They suck. But I think IBM hardware is solid and their R&D is top-notch, and I'd buy IBM again (just not from them).
But that is an indication where rent will go to, no?

1. DB2 is a damn good database imho.
2. And J9 was the fastest JVM when I benchmarked it about a year ago using jmh.
3. And I think Websphere Liberty is a damn fine app server also.
4. I really like Power based CPUs.
5. Talos is made possible because of the open approach that IBM had in creating the power platform.
6. I think loopback is pretty cool also.
For Google that would be Larry and Sergey. There's probably untold amount of PhDs that were and are working at Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, Uber and Apple as well.

Finger tracking and finger haptics both have good working prototypes in AR.

I'm talking above about full body standalone/wireless headset AR (like magic leap) not "point your phone camera at a QR card" AR. Full body is active and immersive. You can jump, run, turn around, and it tracks and models the 3D space around you in real time. It really is something special, and Bretts talents in dynamic collaboration are exactly what is needed in this new tech field.

Instead he's huddled under projectors pinning paper QR codes to chipboard like it's 1980 when he could and should be pushing the frontier of interaction and design where his work can make a huge difference.
1. Is it less safe?

2. Only works in cities with good weather all year long. I don't want to ride a moped in flowing dress in chicago winter.

3. Cities in US are spread out. I don't want to ride a moped on the highway to work or a friends house.

4. Top speed is very low. Safe top speed is even less.
Right? "Voters need to wait until all the choices have populated before making a selection." Absolute BS. Software design 101.

> it would be helpful if you stated why you hold your opinion

I agree, although you've guessed roughly what the reasons are. I certainly agree that if I'm in a 10% minority then the law should change!

But the point of my comment wasn't really to push my opinion as such. More just to point out to the GP that there could be a reason the law is the way it is above it being written by someone thinking of donkeys and pigs - an attitude that came off as quite arrogent, to be honest.
I'm a celiac and it is pretty annoying to hear people suggest something is psychological or (as it is often put) placebo. What makes it a red flag that people want recognition for a condition? Does it make them snowflakes if they want people to be aware that they are sick in a way that other people don't regularly experience? I would love for some recognition to the idea that food can make you sick, as I'm sure people with CFS would like awareness, more research, and solutions to their issues. Until you have evidence that it is purely psychological I would refrain from suggesting such.
SPSS comes to mind.

CS people are not the main revenue driver for an aerospace company. Aircraft have been built without software engineers for over a hundred years, and they still are being made that way in some places. Software devs are still often seen as branch from the IT department. Most of the work is in supporting the actual aerospace/mechanical engineers, and is stuff like internal tool development, data engineering/warehousing. You're not doing any physical testing or generating drawings for parts, which constitute the actual IP worth billions that is used for manufacturing planes. For mechanical engineers the salaries are quite competitive and in line/better than other companies. These are generally much lower than FANG salaries for software engineers.
IBM the company is like an iceberg.

The R&D and open source contributions are the tip. And the other 90% is services revenue.

And most people's experience with IBM services isn't positive.
These days OpenShift is Kubernetes, there is no code left from the Makara acquisition.
I agree but only if paper voting is abolished, otherwise you'll have both systems in place. Or is the paper only used when there are concerns about the results?
Thanks. Indeed I read only praise of this place, and their web site is an excellent source of information. It is now quite certain I have this but until I get the surgery and see the problems resolving I still worry a little bit if we're right :)

Supposedly it is rare in young people (I'm 29), maybe that had something to do with nobody seeing this.
This announcement made me really sad. Red Hat was a company I admired.

I guess the only silver lining is that the buyer wasn't Oracle.
It wasn't always this way. Quora's user base expanded heavily and the quality of content suffered. When the community was smaller questions and answers were more informative. Its slowly becoming a glorified Yahoo answers.

> Whats the issue with your home not being worth the debt you took on?

There were tons of short sales during the last recession because people could not afford their mortgage payments and their houses were worth less than they owed. It's a very bad situation to be in, and if you lose your job you might have no choice.

Another less bad situation is that you might need to turn down better career opportunities in other cities because you aren't able to sell your house.

Being in that kind of a jam really diminishes your control over your future.
1. Than what? You'd rather be in a car than a moped if you crash, but creating an environment where crashes are less likely is most effective.

2. I understand why you say this, but it's obviously untrue. Google "Paris in winter" to see what I mean.

3. Mopeds only replace some forms of transport. Europe still has airports for instance - people to no moped across the atlantic.
>We've seen this argument a million times before with the boogeyman du jour. For example: heavy metal and video games caused Columbine.

It can look superficially the same doesn’t it? The difference between “Judas Priest causes suicides” and here is that that the mechanism is much more understood, and there are multiple instances separated by time, place, and culture, to better examine the hypothesis. We can look at Bosnia[0], Rwanda[1], and Rohingya[2], just to name three things that have occurred in my lifetime. It’s a more extreme version of what we’ve seen with filter bibles and the sorting of media. It’s been well studied. There’s even a word for this phenomenon. It’s dehumanization.

Frankly, your post isn't relevant to this thread.

Major R&D research labs exist to do the "R" in R&D. Many of them are explicitly not doing research that is intended to become a new business/product.

There are many models here, but the important point is that if you want to start a new business (unit), an industrial research lab is probably not a good fit. They mostly exist for other reasons.

If parent wants to start a new company or business unit, he should do that. But in that case, why is he applying to industrial R&D labs? He should be applying to y combinator instead...

Your post is a bit like saying that it's reasonable for a personal trainer to get a job as a doctor at a hospital because exercise is more important than surgery to most people's health. I.e., you're saying true things but kind of completely misses the point of the sorts of organizations we are talking about (research labs in large companies).

(I'll leave aside the ridiculous irony that you included Google in that list... in any case, each of those companies has benefited significantly from their internal R&D orgs.)
Is there a readme on the website, github, or elsewhere? Do you have a plan to monetize AppGet?

Why would the number of consenting adults have any impact?
Public companies can have multiple classes of stock with different voting rights. Private company can be sold.
Debian is solidly community based. Ubuntu depends on Debian in order to add its own value on top.
So, I have mixed feelings.

I don't think in the short term this will be a problem. However IBM has lost it's way. its a very large unwieldy organisation that doesn't change very fast.

It also has an awful lot of lifers, who would flounder horribly outside the soft warm IBM shell.

But, there are some brilliant engineers and technologies that are inside IBM. The ones I know are about are to do with GPFS, which is a shining beacon compared to ceph and gluster.

A clever organisation _could_ mix GPFS, the vast experience with scheduling and resource allocation, and second to none documentation (have you read a Red book? they are marvels of readability.) to make a spectacular platform. One that unlike K8s would be easy to use, understand, tune, script for and run.

They won't be able to execute it properly, but they have the potential.
Any arguments against e-scooters is an argument against general bicycles, because they generally go about as fast and are about the same weight. If a person is against scooters but not against bicycles, then they are being hypocritical and probably don't like them because they are new and different.

The e-scooter rental business model is a different thing, because you can do the exact same business model with plain bicycles as china has shown.

So if I was a cop, would I really give a shit about things that were equivalent to bicycles? No, unless I was on a ticket revenue generation kick.

All major tech companies file patents - shouldn't be surprising that it's going to be part of the job.
The moment you said put "great writeup" and "hacks.mozilla.org" in the same sentence, I had a feeling it would be Lin Clark. Highly recommend her articles, I've learned a ton about Firefox's internals from her.
Yeah of course. But comparing to these little 1 foot scooters.

Also, consider cities should maybe look different.

And Cali should work with it: stick your moped on the Caltrain/Bart.

And many people don't live that far from work in Cali.

If I could pop my moped on a Caltrain I'd skip owning a car. Just hop up to Palo Alto or the city or whatever and boom.
If we enter an economic correction strong enough to drop housing prices by 20% nationwide, AirBnB activity will tank. Travel is a discretionary expense, and people cut back on those in a downturn.

If you need a frame of reference, check what happened to marriott during the 2008 crash (fell by almost 2/3).
Hopefully this will cause an uptick in Gentoo (and OpenBSD)!
This is the difficult with the ego mind, it wants to stay alive - it wants to "do" instead of to settle. Practices to letting the ego mind settle, to letting mental coping mechanisms dissipate - replacing them with healthy coping when necessary, is a major key to health.

I once met someone who was doing their doctorate on meditation - however they didn't have a meditation practice. Certainly seemed like they were being called or drawn to meditate, yet their ego mind found a way to avoid it to stay alive/active..
zOS reboot, duh!

Kidding aside, nothing about this is good for the open source movement.
Yep. Having a PhD is just one indicator.
Having been a linux user for 20 years now, I'm not worried.

Mostly because in the OS market there is enough competition that didn't exist back in the 1990's when RedHat was founded around the Linux kernel. And we continue to have valid choices in the Linux market.

And as we move forward into Kubernetes, we're looking at lightweight OS's to host a single purpose microservice. Most companies don't really need the full features that a full-service Linux OS offers anymore.

Another example of this trend is the declining use of Sendmail and it's alternatives. There are much better ways of handling email now than using Sendmail. Yes, it too was popular in the 1990's, and while people still use it, it's more likely for startups to use something like gmail for employee email, because it's just painless.
You're assuming a lot about my life here.

Without going in to huge detail I'll just say that most of this is false. A few years back I went hitch-hiking around Europe, no licensing was involved, as far as I'm concerned my drivers _were_ randomly selected (if anything, _they_ chose _me_).

Your last sentence is essentially an enormous strawman.

That all said, this isn't about me. The point of regulation is to prevent tragedy of the commons style situations. One instance of someone buying a meal from a neighbour or paying a friend for a lift doesn't matter, the commercialisation causes problems.

A recession is always coming. It is nearly a certainty that there will be one at some point in the future. That is not a good argument for liquidating investments now, because nobody knows when the next recession will happen, how bad it will be, and how long it will last.

A lot of people have missed out on big market gains over the past few years because they wanted to protect themselves from a recession. It's a poor long-term investing strategy and it's based purely on guesswork, unless you own a time machine.
Good bye last true open source company!
Yes. Includes those who work on compilers, formal verification, functional languages, OO languages, and so on. Not the hottest topic these days (compared to ML).

This is a straightforward consequence of modelling an arrival process as a Poisson distribution with a constant rate of arrival lambda...

Go from arrival to cumulative arrivals to time of arrival to recurrence of arrival (next arrival). All are Poisson processes, including the recurrence process, which has a fixed expected value.

Thing is, IBM does not have a great reputation for how it manages its staff as it tends to favour moving positions to low cost locations and redundancies that provide the minimum possible payouts

e.g.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/04/18/ibm/
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/29/ibm_layoffs/
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/27/ibm_tss/
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/23/ibm_gts_workforce_o...

(and that's just from this year)

they also have a reputation for being primarily concerned with the bottom line (profit-wise) over other drivers.

So concerns around how they'll manage this kind of acquisition seem at least somewhat justified.
RedHat does a great job of being a trusted advisor for companies. Their people are often embedded at customers and are the first stop to ask for advise on anything related to Linux.

Recently RedHat was transitioning from selling the VM based RHEL to the cloud native OpenShift. They used the relationship they had with customers already using RHEL to 'up-sell' them to OpenShift.

IBM already had a SaaS offering for Kubernetes in https://www.ibm.com/cloud/container-service and RedHat adds a strong self-managed offering for Kubernetes in the form of OpenShift.

IBMs revenue comes from consulting but a lot of their profit comes from software https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-split-between-IT-and-consu... They are also a trusted advisor and are great at closing large and complex purchases. This move will allow IBM to sell more software products and therefore increase their margins.

I have a lot of respect for RedHats policy to open source all the software they sell. I expect that policy to continue.
I did transcendental meditation for 17 years. If you want to open the door to deceiving spirits in your life, go ahead and meditate.
No, IBM isn't going to be good for Linux. RedHat as an independent company supported a lot of efforts to make Linux better overall, including reverse engineering hardware drivers, which most companies won't care about in the least. I don't trust IBM to continue that, so it will be a major setback to Linux efforts.
If you think we're at the top of the market, liquidating property, paying taxes on the gains, and then putting money in an index fund isn't great advice.

In 08 the S&P tanked 50%+, while housing (measured by Case-Shiller national home price) only dropped around 18%. In desirable cities the housing correction was even smaller.

In any case, bull markets don't die of old age, they die from recessions.
2. Cars are still main transport in Paris afaik. Paris is a bad example of ppl riding mopeds in winter.

3. I am not talking about transport between cities. Cities themselves are spread out. I cannot go from suburb of chicago to work downtown on a moped.
I have extensive dealings with both.

Oracle are actually malicious. IBM are just incompetent.

If you can find a good account manager inside IBM for your needs, then there is a chance that you'll be able to get on well. Otherwise you'll have to do what I did which is say publicly shame the head of department on a public platform, with their superiors listening in.

Oracle however, have no shame.
Nope. I have no confidence in the long-term success of either of them.
Toronto, the city mentioned in the article, is in Canada. "Fisa courts" are a U.S. entity which has nothing to do with what is being done in Canada.
My main message is that racial profiling is unethical whether or not it is effective.

Especially in the case I cited, it is obvious that racial profiling works better than random sampling (or based only on other features). People out of an ethnic minority will always have different rates of citizenships compared to the general population.
So if you pick someone from a minority group that are less likely to be citizens, your chances are higher to pick someone who doesn't have the citizenship compared to the general population of citizens.

While the principle is quite simple, I don't have any empirical knowledge and can only refer you to Google Scholar if you desire more insights ;)
A homeless person could walk into Whole Foods and buy something with cash. And there are many items at Whole Foods which are not outrageously expensive. There's a very distinct difference between a store which has expensive items and a store which has a minimum level of affluence to even use. A poor person could conceivably "splurge" on an expensive item at an expensive store, but that is only possible if they have access.

According to their 10Q and 10K filings, IBM is over seventy percent a consultation business with less than ten percent of revenue being made from hardware.
Typically, the problem is that they have no way of verifying the person's income if they come from abroad. The only other option is not to give them loans at all even if they put up a high down payment.

On other hand, this is such a double standard. In China, I couldn't even get a credit card because I don't have a Chinese ID number even though I had a job for 9 years + lots of money in their bank.
Why not consider Open or NetBSD? They can make nice desktops, and OpenBSD is very friendly on laptops. And they are lighter than Fedora and perform much better. And, they use a maximally free license, but this is simply my preference. You may feel different.
The obvious alternative would be Ubuntu. The LTS releases are alternatives to RHEL/CentOS. The others are Fedora alternatives.

However, Red Hat is _far_ more than RHEL. They actually build a ton of OSS that's used in RHEL and elsewhere. Ubuntu does little more than repackage Debian. That's not a criticism. They package well, and they know how to polish. But there's no replacement for Red Hat as a company.

IBM is legendary for monetizing (many/most would say abusing) their patent portfolio. Be hard to miss this when getting hired.

Here is a pretty famous story: https://www.forbes.com/asap/2002/0624/044.html
American cities got very different layout, mopeds are good for certain type of more congested narrow street type of cities where people also don't care so much about mopeds zipping inbetween cars. I can't see this happening in American driving culture and if you have to just behave like another vehicle on the road you might as well just drive a car. Must say though, even countries where mopeds were popular are now transitioning to electric bikes and scooters because it is cheaper, doesn't require any license and usually good enough for the inner city. You can see it happening in China or Israel.

Yes, RHEL6.x is a pain but that's because its old. For what ever reason AWS decided to standardise on that and not 7.x.

The crucial part is this: it works, and when it doesn't, there is a boat load of documentation on why and how to fix it.
