> If this information is beneficial to both sides, it should be freely exchanged.

A lot of it is. You still want independent confirmation of these things. It reduces incentive to lie (by increasing the probability of being caught), and can mitigate some types of miscommunication. E.g. maybe your ally can't admit something that they know to be true, because it happens to be unpopular domestically.

I'm not sure that this is sufficient justification, but the benefit does exist.

> If this is a necessary element of state diplomacy, how can interactions between countries like the US and Mexico ever be fair?

How can they ever be fair if it isn't? Fairness is just not a property that interactions generally have. Every actor has advantages, and those advantages are rarely equal for all parties.
It also makes running Docker a whole lot easier. I know there is Docker for Windows, but it feels like a red headed step child compared to Docker on Linux.
I think there is a big difference though between a nuclear weapon, which is very hard to procure unless you're a nation-state, and a programmable drone, which can be procured at Best Buy by anyone. Mutually Assured Destruction has kept nation-states in check in terms of nuclear weapons, yes. There is no such barrier to individuals purchasing drones, which have many purposes, unlike a nuclear weapon. There are many more crazy individuals in the world that can afford cheap drones than there are crazy nation-states willing to use their nuclear weapons against a foreign population. You can retaliate against a nation-state because it will be obvious who it was. Missiles are easily trackable and immediately detectable upon launch, unlike small hobby-sized drones.

Analyses of Showerhead Biofilm Mycobacteria and Their Relevance to Human Health
Socialists/Communists and anti-vaxers are similar in their irrationality. Literally no amount of data over any time period could get them to even question their position.

They are also similar in the fact that their ideas seek to undo over a century of progress that massively reduced human suffering.

Capitalism and vaccinations are two of the greatest achievements in human history in terms of improving the quality of human life on earth. Why anyone would advocate abandoning them after learning about what life was like before them is completely incomprehensible.

I'm not arguing that Windows is dead. But, I think you will see your career stagnate at best if you focus solely on Windows.

I'm also not arguing that every company will eventually go to the cloud or that every company will move toward Node. But, staying in the MS ecosystem will also lead to career stagnation. I'm nowhere near the west coast and I'm mostly your bog standard "Enterprise Developer/Architect". But the minute I put "AWS","Linux","Node" on my LinkedIn profile, the more serious discussions I had with consulting companies (not recruiters) with offers of $20K-$30K more than companies were offering "Windows Enterprise Developers"
You're told from the day you start school that if you don't go to college, you're not going to 'make it'. There aren't enough scholarships to go around. So people will pay literally anything. And since they can't discharge the debt in bankruptcy, lenders will throw money at them.

Nah, lock up the CEO. Who cares if they can't know everything, that's not a good excuse. If the company is so big that the executive team can't keep a firm grasp on what's going on, then maybe it's too big to exist.

Locking up executives (a risk for which they are richly rewarded already) puts a natural cap on how large a corp can get.

Another approach is not to patch nixpkgs at all, but just to "override" packages in Nixpkgs outside of the repository, and build them from your own project directories.

A simple example: I wanted to build FFMPEG, but with non-free libraries enabled (which is not the default). Rather than edit "ffmpeg-full" in the nixpkgs repo, I just overrode it:

# default.nix (in some project directory; call "nix build -f ." to run it)
with nixpkgs;
{
my-ffmpeg =
let overrides = {
nonfreeLicensing = true;
fdkaacExtlib = true;
ffplayProgram = false;
qtFaststartProgram = false;
};
attrs = {
name="my-ffmpeg-" + ffmpeg.version;
};
in
ffmpeg-full.override overrides // attrs;
}
In this case there might not be a GDPR violation. If the data is taken by compromised browsers, then the breach wouldn't exist within Facebook's control.

It's not clear to me from reading the GDPR whether companies are responsible for the loss of personal data outside of breaches in their security. E.g. is a successful phishing campaign against customers a data breach? If not at fault, do they have an obligation to alert customers specifically about the attack?
It gives the lender little to no incentive to evaluate the marketability of the degree.
The benefits absolutely do not outweigh the cons. For starters, your CSS can never compile down to a smaller size than component CSS - ever. Because of the nature of compositional classes the plateau of problems expands out almost infinitely, and the resultant inconsistencies necessitate new overrides, more code, more complexity, more misdirection.

What size site do you work on? How often do you have to completely change an interface, or move a component from one place to another without it breaking at all, and how well does that work for you with Tailwind? How do you plan to scale this codebase consistently across organizations, teams, potentially platforms?

Tailwind and the frameworks like it are absolutely terrible at scale. I've spent years of my life trying to remove functional css from sites trying to scale while it holds them back.
I don’t “blame” anyone. Millennials made a decision based on their preferences. Now they’ve changed their mind and want me to pick up the tab. No thanks.

Not only that but they're being pushed into college by a generation for whom college tuition was something like 400% less (I believe that's after inflation is calculated in but would have to look it up).

The fact is, while college administrators and presidents are doing just wonderfully, the actual discernible education has not become much greater for the student to warrant this increase.

So you're pushed in by a generation for whom the benefits were great, and the costs affordable to a college education where the costs are exorbitant and the benefits less so.

@azamatms Thanks!
Do you need that size of destruction to keep people from leaving their homes? Or just the fear that rogue autonomous drones are flying around with a .22 mag attached? Wouldn't there be some economic impact from such a scenario?
Sure, I don't dispute that a set of rules exists. I'm just not convinced of a real need for it, and its existence serves to bolster the notion that "organic food" is well-defined and aligns with public perception.

The "spin" is more about how organic food is portrayed, and how that affects food markets and science.

It's okay for well-to-do folks to occasionally buy organic, but it's not a sustainable model for feeding a growing population and the more demand rises for organic, the harder it becomes to devote resources to a viable solution.

There's no evidence that GMO's pose a risk to health or the environment, yet (for example) the EU's chief scientific officer Anne Glover was essentially sacked for her support of GM crops.
Honest question. Why doesn't the lender require the borrower to explain how they plan to repay?

Or why do they continue to lend large amounts for degrees where there's a low probability of getting a good salary after graduation.

Or does the govt assume the risk of student loan defaults?
Which was the status quo before federal student loans.
> most of the problem would be solved by allowing student debt to be erased by declaring bankruptcy

Going forward. It's tough to stomach retroactively applying this to existing loans.

If that was allowed, then the interest rates would have to float according to the likelihood that the loan was repaid. Good for CS and econ and engineering, not so good for lierature and gender studies.
ExcelDNA, Google OR-Tools, COM apis.
I think our public education system is also to blame. We push kids down academic paths too often and many of those paths do not lead to professions that can sustain 45-80k debt after graduation. Too much easy credit is available driving up the price. Degrees are not properly valued. Degrees in social work should not cost the same as a degree in STEM because they are not worth the same. More kids should be going into trades like electricians, plumbers, and millwrites. Good careers that also pay through their apprenticeship programs and currently are looking for kids to train.
And Mac OS X, also a lot of work was done to make Core nice; it builds fast, low latency for ASP.NET and more. I use vim under Linux and I could not be happier. I was always against the choice for .NET because of the lock in; now that that is gone, it is great.

Against Tulip Subsidies (2015)
Looks like a very minor release. No changes to the language spec and the changes to the standard library are all marked "minor". The most significant thing is the deprecation of `godoc`'s command-line features in favor of `go doc` (maybe someone with more info could explain the difference between the tools or the rationale for having two similarly named tools and why the CLI features are moving from one and into the other?).
Powerful interests have corrupted the legal mechanisms that make markets work efficiently. Here it is bankruptcy. In other markets it is forced arbitration and preventing groups of people from joining together to share legal expenses. Leaving all accountability mechanisms to the government is bad for free markets.

Ideally, if you truly want to help low income people get an education through loans, it should be structured more like SBA loans. The lenders should take on a big enough % of the risk that they want to avoid defaults but not so little that they act recklessly and fund loans or schools that are unlikely to perform. I'm sure that if SBA loans were non-dischargeable, there would be an explosion in bad SBA loans that drag on the economy.
Lenders are also required by the feds to throw money at them. They don't have a choice.

Cost of money went dramatically down, so tuition inflated something like 4x
If creditors were allowed to discriminate based on risk factors [probably grades, attendance, degree field] we'd never be in this situation.

But, since these are government backed loans, people are pretty much guaranteed to be funded, no matter their risk factors, are and the taxpayers are going to foot the bill when they default.
Extensions. I agree with Santosh83, no extensions except ublock.
New side-channel vulnerability on SMT/Hyper-Threading architectures
It started as a way to give low income kids access to the same education opportunities as everyone else. Banks didn’t want to risk giving out loans to low income borrowers so the govt guaranteed the loans. Once this happened everyone started taking out loans to go to college since the banks now approved anyone since the repayment was guaranteed by the govt, and since schools now had so many more applicants they kept raising prices (supply and demand). Higher prices lead to more loans which lead to higher prices, etc.

I look forward to all of our .Net Framework only 3rd party dependencies being unsupported and abandoned instantly because there's no way anyone is going to bother supporting two distinct platform versions.

And also the humongous porting effort to move everything over if we want something that isn't half arsed and abandoned which is what happens in the long tail of any MSFT product cycle. When you phone partner support because something is broken and no one knows how to help you.

Another "fuck you" from MSFT. Just like that whole opt-out telemetry crapfest.

> "food as it would grow anyway, without human intervention"

If you look at the genomes of our major food crops, it turns out that we've done really weird things to them (such as duplicating all the chromosomes), and that's well before we started doing gene transplanting via modern GMO techniques.

A good visual indication of how wildly we've been able to transform crops by ancient domestication is maize. You've probably seen the standard corn cob. The closest wild relative (and probable pre-domesticated ancestor) is teosinte. A teosinte cob-equivalent has maybe a dozen kernels, which are not obviously edible. The difference is so stark that some don't believe that domestication started with teosinte because it looks too hard.

Yup. Which is partly because of near infinite free money that no one is really responsible for. Hindsight is 20/20, and not being American I don't have the whole history...but what I'm picturing with this situation is:

"Omg, it costs $5000 to get a degree! That means only the rich have access to education and increase the gap between rich and poor! We need a solution!"

"You can't just go giving education for free! Communism!"

"We never said that! Let's lend up to $5000 to anyone without the mean to pay for education! That will level the playing field and in the long term we get back the money, it's win all around!"

<fast forward a few years>

"Omg, it costs $10,000 to get a degree! Poor people can get loans, but they have to repay them in addition to paying $5,000 out of pocket! That divides the rich and the poor, etc etc! We should load up to $10,000 to even out the playing field! win win!"

<fast forward to now after a few cycle>

"Omg, we have a student debt crisis!"

Like, did someone really not see it coming? Without some form of cost control, this is just government sponsored cost inflation. Because of where Im from Im just used to government paid education. It's not always as good, and there are a lot of friction, but costs are kept a little more under control. I guess you could also, in theory, just not have the loans at all, or much fewer, and if it had been that way from the beggining, cost wouldn't have gone up nearly as fast.
Vanguard total stock market index VTSMX

2012 low: 31.76
2012 high: 36.72
2016 low: 45.03
2016 high: 57.17
2016 high pre-election: 54.84

So the worst you possibly could have done between 2012 and 2016 was a 22.6% gain. Using more middling points of 36 and 50, you'd have gained almost 39%. Annualised (rounding up to 4 years) that's between 5 and 8.5%.

The stock market has climbed at a steeper average rate since then, but "didn't gain anything to speak of" is misleading.

As a society we've decide that people <21 aren't responsible enough to have a beer, but are responsible enough to take on massive amounts of loans. All of this while having government propaganda and society telling them since childhood that if they don't get a college degree, they'll be poor their whole lives.

Then the law was changed as well so only student debt was not dischargeable in bankruptcy while every other type of debt is.

It's disengenous to imply that these were freely made choices. Well running capitalism relies on information parity between both sides and not interactions where it's all of society and a massive industry trying to convince undeveloped minds to make bad choices
One must keep in mind that by definition half the population have an IQ less than 100. That is plenty for unscrupulous lendors to take advantage of.

Indeed the restoration of bankruptcy would solve this problem, albeit at great cost to former lendors.
Seems like variations of these bugs are going to wipe out past 10 years of CPU performance advancements...

It's interesting to see how the algorithm seems to turn aerial photos into romantic paintings. My guess is that the model was trained on mostly up-close photos and that the colors don't map exactly to aerial photos because color intensity fades over large distances.

On that note it is cool to see how the algorithm does work for both indoor and outdoor photos. Indoor settings tend to have dark backgrounds and outdoor settings have light backgrounds.

Very cool project.
