Hmm, good for usage you say. Ok, let's stick to "standard" imperial units. How many feet in a yard? Yards in a mile? What the hell is a quart? And since base 12 is great, what is 12 feet called? 144 feet? A 12th of an inch?

Or, ounces: How many ounces in a gallon? A pound? And how many _kinds_ of ounces are there, anyways?

Fun fact: The term “ounce” is of Latin origin from the word “uncia” which means “a twelfth part.” http://www.differencebetween.net/science/mathematics-statist... So...what's an ounce a twelfth of?

Or, say, a pint. What's the definition of a pint?

Claude Shannon's original 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" launched the entire field of information theory. It's 50 pages, highly readable, and pedagogical.

That's why almost all OS have this as an option. You either change the layout globally or per window (or application, doesn't make that much difference).
They might thrive, if and only if, they can move to an area where they have their needed heat, water and light exposures. If atmospheric CO2 is 5x or 10x everything will need to be migrating an awful lot of miles northwards. To soils and locations that may not be suitable for ph or mineral reasons. Plants almost certainly can't migrate fast enough for current rates of change, let alone more. So there's agriculture screwed.

At or above 1,000ppm, or 2.5x current outside levels, human performance starts to decline. People will complain of drowsiness and stuffiness. Those levels can occur in buildings already. I don't look forward to a future where opening a window for fresh air delivers stuffiness, and inside buildings rise commensurately.

Who knows how many pollinating species will go extinct, and at what levels, as they can no longer breathe enough to fuel their activities.

May I polititely suggest that your assertion of equivalence between South Korea and North Korea in terms of political freedom during the Park and Chun years is overwrought nonsense. Just ask any South Korean who lived through this period or any American peace corps volunteer like me who lived in the countryside (near Gwangju in fact) in the 1970s under the Park regime and who studied in graduate school in Seoul under the Chun regime in the 1980s. The issues are complex and require long, nuanced elaboration, but in crude terms Park was all but a fascist in name during his dictatorship and Chun was largely a loutish thug. Park is remembered surprisingly fondly by his generation, while Chun is reviled. And it is true that political dissidents were brutally treated by both Park and Chun and that the 1980 Gwangju Massacre was a horrible incident for which Chun later went to prison. However, North Korea was much worse in its control, e.g. over all religious groups and intellectuals. If you had a bad class background ("seongbun") you had nil chance for any higher education or social advancement. And with the growing cult of personality of Kim Il Sung from the mid-1960s, virtually no one could hope to express openly any thoughts critical of Kim or the Worker's Party official party line. In sum, life in the south under Park was by turns comic and tiring (the whole nation was forced to arise at 6 am every day!) and under Chun disspiriting and at the margin dangerous, but in the north under Kim, little or no freedom of personal expression existed even between spouses. Just check out the personal accounts of those who lived through it.
Because infinite numbers are not a natural expression of discrete measurements, and when it comes to being price 1/3 = 4 is always going to be easier to put your finger on than 1/3 = 3.333.

I work in software and data analysis in the construction industry. A continuous measurement is good for some things, but it's definitely not good for discrete measurements. Furthermore, a lot of the people who work in the field for construction greatly prefer Imperial for a reason. They have no bias towards systems beyond what works fast and easy.
Agreed.

Anyone criticizing should first establish the observable things (violence, oppression, whatever bias or other behavior) and then state the argument for how that is widespread in a culture, region, country, group.

To address your examples, #1 is okay as it doesn't make any associations with a culture (at least if we assume X and Y are void of such), #2 is for me the most problematic, as #3 is directly claims that a culture/group/region has a problem, because X and/or Y, whereas #2 is just singling out a culture for no apparent reason.
This is great progress towards making unikernels non-runtime specific.

However, I am still skeptical of the idea that unikernels will ever be production friendly. The biggest deficiency, by the definition of a unikernel, is the complete lack of debugging tools available. There is no top, perf, etc in a unikernel. In docker, I can still exec into a running container to debug and investigate. Unikernel issues lend themselves to “just restart it” rather than “let’s debug and fix it” mindsets.

I’ve run a k8s environment with kata containers for a while and as time has gone on, I’ve found that Solaris Zones (smartOS) are probably the most scalable way to achieve process/VM isolation for applications.

SMS-based 2FA is a joke not just because of SS7 attacks, but mostly because most (if not all) phones are set to display SMS messages on the lock screen.

So go grab somebody's phone and enjoy access to anything that uses SMS-based 2FA, because those messages are going to be shown even if you are unable to unlock the phone. Far from "academic exercices" or "state-level actors", I'd say.
The worst case scenario is more like a "Clathrate gun" doomsday. While the worst case is improbable, I do believe the priors you use to evaluate the risk and cost of global warming might be a bit optimistic. And it seems contradictory to say that the brunt of costs will be paid by the developed world and then admit that the costs include the migrant from locations on Earth rendered uninhabitable. Lastly, you are assuming that the political climate will permit us to deal intelligently, compassionately, and fiscally efficiently with migrants. The current political climate seems to contradict that assumption.

Yup. I have a startup that was full of people who expected it to stay the way it always was before it grew to millions of annual revenue, and that ended up hurting them when it turned out that I was running a business.

It bothered me some, but I always knew this was potentially in my future. They didn't. This will happen to everyone who runs a startup that has family or close friends involved, especially if they are your customers. Such is life.

> I mean we can just acknowledge that we have different worldviews rather than everyone having to agree that things are too complex to understand

Sure, we all have world views. When it comes to predictive power however, some world views are superior to others. At the end of the day, and at the level of detail we're currently capable of understanding reality, all of our models are wrong, but some are useful, hence why we keep pushing the process of scientific method, even though it has its limitations.

By acknowledging that something is complex, we can recognize we are limited in our ability to understand it – at least for now – which in turn leads us to question our current views and seek to discover and adopt better models, with even more predictive power.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s a weird world where we want founders to be artisans and inventors, but the money can only think “scale now or die.” There are other ways to build a sustainable large-scale business, methodically over time with profitability and a reputation of care for one’s customers. But venture capital isn’t aligned with this type of approach.
"More deadlier"...?
That's... not the same thing. One is: system that is mostly always better but can sometimes be handy for certain contexts. The other is: objectively true thing versus objectively false thing.
Pitfalls off the top of my head: Detecting servers going down is not very simple. They don't just go down and become completely unresponsive. Sometimes they become slow, overloaded, generate incorrect responses, sometimes there are connectivity issues, packets get dropped. Sometimes connectivity issues are not globally visible, but affect only some of your users. The number of affected users might increase over time too without you detecting anything. All of the problems apply to monitoring nodes too.

The simplest approach that more or less works is to use a single monitoring node close to your users and only make decisions when majority of servers are responsive. Once some server has more than one problem over a few tries, pull its record. Then put it back once it's been free of problems for some time.

When updating DNS records automatically increase serial number of the zone. Make sure monitoring node retrieves that serial number from DNS servers on start, to survive own crashes.
That seems like it could be an interesting way to launch Rust applications. Typically (and I'm assuming UKL is no different), unikernels don't have any memory protection between applications and the OS. That's usually a bad thing; however, if your compiler can verify that memory accesses are all in-bounds, then all the hardware memory checks that an MMU would do in a regular OS are just unnecessary overhead. So, with UKL and a Rust application, you could get approximately the same level of safety as before, but without the performance cost of all that runtime memory protection. Entering the kernel can be just a regular function call, context switches are cheap, etc... That could be a huge performance boon for some apps.

In this sort of setup, unsafe Rust is like kernel code -- it effectively has privilege to read/write to any memory.

I'd also feel better if the kernel itself were written in something like Rust.

And note, historically, that under earlier Korean dynasties from 958 CE Korean elites like their counterparts in China vied for official posts through a grueling set of state exams, collectively known as the "gwageo". The median age of passing the final phase was around 35 years in age, and with a very low rate of passing (14600 passers between 1393-1894, among many millions of aspirants over the centuries) this effectively meant that most members of the elite class spent long decades mastering the complex Confucian canon and wide range of poetic forms required for success. Some passers were in their 70s.
“Registered nurses (RNs) made a median salary of $68,450 in 2016.” That’s not really bad pay considering you can get an associate degree which only takes 2 years, and you make above median US wages.

Being a scientist requires vastly more education, and long periods of low pay. I actually know a programmer that switched to nursing and he seems reasonably content.
> Their photosynthesis processes evolved in and are ideal for an environment with CO2 concentrations at least 5-10x the current levels

Wait a second. For the last few million years CO2 levels have been in the 180-300 ppm range (except for recently where they have gone above that).

What makes you think that plants that initially evolved hundreds of millions of years ago in very high CO2 environments did not continue evolving as CO2 levels changed, so that the plants we now have find 180-300 ppm to be ideal?

As you can guess, that caused absolute chaos, with the crash becoming a major news event and many customers and businesses being unable to spend/receive money at all until it was fixed.

So yeah, forget a government. Even a large business like that crashing or experiencing major technical glitches for a few days or so would bring down a large portion of society.
