I used to do this in the dorm room cafeteria at my college, just to see if it’d work. People got yelled at all the time for filling bottles with coffee or sodas, but I’d just fill their ceramic cups up and casually drink from it while waving to the greeter. It’s bizarre what people will overlook if you don’t seem suspicious.

I am find Rand an invaluable philosophical resource. While I wouldn't count myself an Objectivist, I certainly find more correct with Objectivism than not.

From this perspective, a few observations. Joyent should be able to do business with whomever they want, period. So long as they don't commit fraud or infringe on the rights of others in so doing, then they are within their rights AND within their moral prerogative to not do business with Gab. Note also that there is no moral obligation of Joyent to give Gab a platform and they're not doing so is not censorship: Gab's right to free speech cannot rightfully compromise Joyent's right to speech or association. The only way Joyent would be in the wrong here is if they represented to Gab that their business was acceptable/welcome and they did so with fore-knowledge of that business; and even then they'd only be in the wrong due to the short notice of termination given and the resulting damage to Gab's business, not because of the change of heart. To suggest that those that think like me might think otherwise is to speak without the requisite education to comment or is simple intellectual dishonesty.

Regardless the degree to which you hate Rand and those that think like me, the ridiculous and ill-informed hyperbole that your message contains is unwarranted and leads to the very state of affairs in which we find ourselves. It doesn't matter toward which "team" you express unmitigated hate, it only matters that you and those that shout disparagements (regardless of which side they sit) advocate acting on raw emotion rather than reason... indulging in hate over disagreement and debate. The facts, the truth, and the legitimate back-and-forth of competing ideas tested by reason seems to matter not once that's done. It may play well to the home team, but it does nothing to advance the discussion in the more general sense.

Very sad.

no. Some are a conglomeration of private practices that joined to better negotiate with insurance companies, some are owned by other entities, some are independent. My group was self employed up until 5 years ago, but no insurance company would talk to us to give us a raise because they said we were so small (and wouldn't drop from being a provider). They didn't look to see that we didn't own a lab, a CT scanner, a surgery center, etc... They just knew we had no leverage. Now, my colleagues that remain independent say that insurance companies ask them what can we do to keep you independent? b/c when a hospital owns all the physicians in a county, they pretty much get the upper hand in the negotiations.

Basically, it's a bunch of business people making maneuvers to try and extract as much money from the system as possible, which is why it's >$30k / year to insure a family in the USA. This makes small businesses unable to compete against companies located in socialized medicine countries, in my opinion. It also makes it impossible to compete against a business that does not offer insurance to their employees.

Eventually, we'll go single payer, bc it cannot continue at this rate.

The NRO (national reconnaissance/spysat office), back in 2012. They also gave them the mirror and other components for a third. They were hand-me-downs, presumably obsoleted. Things like that always make me wonder what the current state of the art is, let alone when you look at the things like the SR-71 Blackbird, first launched in 1964 -- 54 years ago!! On the other hand then you look at things like the F-35, SLS, Zumwalt, etc today and it somehow almost seems that we've regressed technologically.
Which distro? Which libc? Which minimum kernel version? Which minimum version of GNU Make? Which specific version of GCC or clang?

Linux isn't a static environment. The closest thing to static is POSIX, and by and large every Unix environment, including various Linux environments as well as BSD environments, asymptotically approach POSIX compliance.

If you want to maintain a project long-term (5+ years), attempting to minimize deviations from POSIX is a solid strategy in terms of avoiding bit rot and long-term maintenance burdens. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but the point is to weigh your options carefully and don't undervalue the benefit of POSIX compliance. If you want to maximize the chance that your software will compile and execute correctly on a Linux distro 5+ years from now, a good first step is making sure it builds and runs natively on some of the BSDs.

There's a trend to discount the value of POSIX and to even actively break POSIX compliance in a way that makes it very difficult to support both POSIX semantics and some feature du jure. Developers should be wary of those who do this because if such projects and their maintainers don't see any value in POSIX they're not likely to see value in the long-term maintenance and stability of whatever feature they're selling you on today.

Else thread somebody says that they see Linux as the new SunOS. I agree.[1] But where is SunOS today?

[1] Except that Sun put much more emphasis on backwards compatibility. The Linux kernel developers emphasize backward compatibility, but the distros don't, and if the distros rip something out then inevitably it gets removed from upstream. OTOH, while the kernel developers rightfully have said they won't compromise sane design for POSIX, it turns out that such situations have been exceedingly rare and in general they take POSIX compliance seriously.

A close friend used IE to get Google Chrome. They clicked the first result and luckily I was able to stop them before starting the install on some crapware.

So I asked them to be careful to ensure the download site is correct and left them to it.

I came back to find they had downloaded some other crapware.

I checked the search results. The ENTIRE first one and a half page of results were advertisements for versions of crapware which may or may not have been Chromium or Chrome lookalikes with lots of malware.
I worked at Target during high school and learned a similar shoplifting story: people would pick up expensive merchandise in the electronic department and then return them at customer service without a receipt or even leaving the store.

Also, anyone wearing Target's signature red polo and khaki pants could likely have had free access to any part of the store. There were always new employees so no one could really tell who actually worked there.

What's more likely: That this company with a tiny budget had no idea what it was doing, or that a 12-figure industry with 2 of the most valuable companies on the planet is all fake?

Advertising is a core driver of every successful company and there are 100s of petabytes of data generated everyday proving it works. Even without any fancy analytics, measuring that every dollar spent returns more than a dollar in sales is about as simple as it gets.

This company's problem is that they need to learn how to do it right.
This is incorrect on multiple levels.

The term "safe harbor" is typically used to refer to the provisions of the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA), not the Communications Decency Act you're discussing. OCILLA protects hosting and network providers from liability for copyright infringements committed by their customers, so long as they aren't aware of the infringement and don't directly benefit from it, and so long as they comply with the DMCA takedown process. This is, obviously, completely irrelevant to this situation.

The CDA actually does the exact opposite of what you are claiming here. It explicitly indemnifies service providers for blocking content, regardless of whether that content is constitutionally protected or not -- it reads in part:

> (2) Civil liability: No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—

> (A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected […]

I've re-excised melanoma's in young people and excised moles that I didn't think looked like melanomas that came back as being them. Metastatic melanoma kills. The recovery room of one of our local hospitals is named after a nurse who died at age 32 of metastatic melanoma.

No physician wants to be the one who says - don't worry about that -

having said that, if a dr recommends excision, and you're hesitant, get a second opinion.

but I also think that dermatologists see and biopsy so many lesions, that after a while, they should be able to be very selective in what they biopsy.

The pitch-black side of this phenomenon: In 2011 in Norway, Anders Breivik commandeered a ferry to the Utøya island, was let onboard, heavily armed and with several heavy boxes of ammunition, going on, as we know, to kill 69 people there, mainly youngsters.
All this solely on the basis of a sufficient display of authority and an obviously fake police uniform, and despite the ferry having been put on hold after the bombing of government headquarters in Oslo a little earlier in the day.

Its status as an ideal or even as a moral good is being attacked from all sides. We're forgetting the lessons of the last few hundred years, we're forgetting Voltaire, and we are adamant that the baby be thrown out with the bathwater.

Of course it's well within Joyent's rights to do this, but the effect will not be a solution.
Freedom and democracy are more important than advancing technology. If China and the US are in a race for Orwellian tyranny, I hope the US loses. Indeed, the US should drop out of the race as soon as possible. Our society has been taught to overestimate the importance of ‘innovation’. Innovations may be good, and they may be bad. If we let companies decide which innovations we will use, they will choose the ones that give them more of an advantage over us.

I liked this part the most as something new and insightful said by RMS.

I am not sure that democracy is better than innovation. I would choose Freedom and Innovation over Freedom and Democracy. Just look at how much has been done in the last few centuries. Nearly everyone can have things today that even kings didn’t have. Democracy on the other hand is just a way of voting for some policy that’s then enforced on everyone. In fact, China can be said to be a democracy more than the US in some ways. I do think we need to safeguard rights and freedoms but democracy isn’t the only way to do that.
Of course but ... nothing?

How can you explain to your boss why this CoC is not to your liking, and still keep your job? There can be no defense against this incursion, only anger and grumbling online until it is shut down.

In my friend of friend's neighborhood, thieves used hardhat/hi-vis vest to commit thefts.

Basically, a man with a hard hat, hi-vis vest, and a clipboard knocked on the door of a house. He claimed he needed to check some gas line in the back yard. While the resident was in back yard distracted by him, another person snuck in and stole jewelry. They hit few houses but were eventually caught by local police.
Wait - so you're basing your whole opinion on someone else's description of the range? The reduced range is partially a "where do we put the batteries" issue, but MOSTLY a price a issue. There's no way to price an e-Golf in a similar range to a 200+ mile range Tesla and not have it been $10k+ more than a regular Golf.

Saying things like "it shows to me that VW is not doing the technically possible" without ANY informed opinion is embarrassing.

>The real issue just comes down to how we're going to divide up the pie when we wave our magic money wand, and it more than likely ends up benefiting the bankers more than others.

I suspect the problem is whatever strategy you use to manipulate the money system to avoid a downturn, it’s going to benefit somebody. The banks are just very well informed, and in a position to do pretty much anything anybody else might do, so however you carry out the intervention they will have the tools and resources to ensure they benefit from it somehow. So how do you manipulate the money supply without going through banks?

Both windows and mac have built in app stores which are the equivalent of package managers.

But package managers can also have lookalike names. Npm and pip has had a few famous misspelled common packages that contained malware instead. Those are more open than apt or the big app stores but even on Google play you will find tons of lookalikes.

This whole incident just shows you should never just search for anything by name and pick the first good looking result. You really have to verify the source regardless of which search engine you are using. What I very much dislike is companies who refer to their own app in the app store only by name and then you when you search you get 10 results which all look equally shady. And because they outsourced the app development the publisher doesn't even match. Place a god damn link or show the unique package name on your websitr instead.

I didn't say 'commercial' I said 'hotels'.

There's nary a difference between a hotel of a certain type, and residences. There are people living there.

'Parking lots' are massively different than any other kinds of space.

As long as the hotel fits the local aesthetic, i.e. only 5 stories high if the other buildings are, 1 story high if the others are ... then there's nothing wrong with them at all.

Envoy basics
Servicing HST with a Soyuz is basically impossible. Hubble is in a higher altitude orbit in a significantly lower inclination than the launch site for crewed Soyuz vehicles. To perform the plane change maneuver (of 23 deg.) would require a delta-V of 1.5 km/s (20% of the orbital velocity at the typical Soyuz destination altitude). That would require bringing nearly 4 tonnes of extra propellant onboard the Soyuz, which isn't feasible. Additionally, this doesn't include the added weight of the docking adapter and Hubble replacement parts that would need to be brought along.

It's conceivable that a repair mission might be possible with the soon to come into service US crew capsules (Dragon 2 and Starliner) since the rockets that launch them have more performance than the Soyuz, but even then it would be a pretty ambitious mission.
