He doesn't have any dignity. He's a clear sociopath. It doesn't matter who he lies to, it doesn't matter to him who he hurts. Even the mild contrition that he displays to the reporter here is pure act : he knows that's what people want to see, so he puts on that show because it will help him.

The sad part is that it will work. People will go see him for the guffaws. A few will convince themselves that he really is some sort of genius and that he deserves success - and that when he's treated as the pariah he is that it's an injustice they must correct.

It's the Charlie Manson playbook, the Jim Jones Gambit. Exposure only helps him.
The US military really needs a major upgrade in terms of its THINKING about internet security.

I've spoken to the military trained "cyber warriors" at conferences and it was unsettling. They simply had a worse grasp than some pre-college kids I've met who dabble in security between high school classes.

There's a lot of veneer there and not a whole lot of substance. It is like they're trained to be the world's best script kiddies (e.g. they run provided tools in a given order and expect a predetermined result, they don't REALLY grasp the underlying concepts at a low level).

Now I will say the NSA has some really sharp cookies, and I'm sure some other DoD departments do too. But the people at the top seem to think "cyber" war can be mapped to normal war, and train accordingly. That's a fool's errand.

Hopefully they get it together, but in terms of DoD's own internal politics it seems like a long road with the computer illiterate grey hairs at the top.
Ok, we've replaced "a crisis" with "industry" above.
Your post describes things in kind of an odd hypothetical fashion considering we already ship water around in pipes and aqueducts. That's been done for a couple thousand years. It's way more efficient than any other method.
Really nice work!

Question: How are snapshots implemented? Are you using k8s native snapshots (which I think are alpha?) or other?

EDIT: Looks like snapshots are per db feature: https://github.com/kubedb/project/issues/337

Hopefully Kubedb can leverage K8S snapshots when they mature
Interesting I always think of the "income vs capital gains" as a consideration for individual tax payers. I didn't realize it also pertained to corporate purchases of their own stock.
I'm not entirely convinced of the statistical argument. I mean outliers happen. Did Don Bradman cheat? I doubt it:

https://www.statslife.org.uk/sports/1989-did-don-bradman-s-c...

The guy was apparently an > 6 sigma (insert joke here) batter.

As for how the outlier happens, it's pretty hard to make a case. If it were easy to bat 100 more people would have done it. Same goes with anything at the extremes of a distribution. Who's to say that whatever ageing process occurs in the body did not simply slow for JC? Any evidence to the contrary ("it can't happen") is supported by observations of averages. All you'd be saying is "we haven't seen this happen".

Of course I'm not saying everything that's unlikely actually happened the way it was purported to.

Put together with some of the circumstantial evidence, I might be convinced. The fact that there was a pension involved is certainly incentive.

It's irrational, but people still talk about corporate responsibility in the same language they use to talk about the morality of their own and other people's behavior. Changes like these help establish the cultural consensus that environmental damage is a bad thing that should be avoided even if it means we have to invest cost and effort in change.

I get your rationale, but you have to remember that this hypothetical company would probably generate a fair amount of cash. The question then becomes, what do they do with that cash? Say a company has a steady state $10B revenue, $2B profit and requires $1B of reinvestment capital with a market cap of $20B. After 5 years, the market cap becomes $25B all things being equal due to an additional $5B of cash on the books. Eventually, the company's value would start to be primarily cash. In a low interest rate environment, it could be hard for this company to make money on this cash, and investors are probably more interested in the company executing its mainlines of business versus turning into a hedge fund to manage of huge cash position. A stock buyback is one way this company could "grow" in revenue and earnings per share, but not have to try and grow top line revenue.
> The argument is that people are going for legal more potent, more dangerous drugs in US because much harmless marijuana is illegal

I'd argue that there is demand for mind-altering substances in the US because of societal reasons. I count marijuana in there because I don't think any other country in the world has made a bigger deal of it than the US. It is a part of pop culture in a way that doesn't happen anywhere else in the world to my knowledge.

No judgment implied on people who use marijuana, of course.

What great work. In addition I like the scientist's view of the result: "You see, the current buzz around longevity records can be easily distracting us from the goals that are truly important." The interviewer is looking for drama and moral clarity. The actual clarity is the scientist's interest in the larger, human, goal.

I'd say it's a little bit like automatic stabilisation. If everything in your frame moves in the same direction at the same speed, then it's probably the camera moving, so you correct for it and the video becomes stable.

Similarly you could see multiple things in the frame accelerating and decelerating at the same time and deduce it's not the things, but the camera that's doing that. That's the retiming part. Filling in frames is probably a whole lot more magic though..

The fact that Pichai refused to say they wouldn't re-enter China shows this is probably just a pause until things die down.
Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like Clojure allows mutation and side effects all over the place, but that it has some nice libraries for handling immutability and sequencing in various ways so that you can write consistent programs. That sounds nice, but also not particularly unique or interesting.

The IO monad in Haskell is no trick, but I can understand why you would think that.
The ability to do it once and have it come out right.

One coworker of mine was the son of one of the engineers of the XC-142 tiltwing aircraft. He started a project to make a functional scale model, and this was before Arduino, so we decided to use a Gumstix Linux board. (Because of its generous number of GPIO outputs.) I wrote a bit-banging implementation of the flight surface control mixing in C. It "just worked." No errors. It just ran the 1st time. It was even flown on a simpler aircraft.

This isn't my usual way, however. Usually, I'm quite iterative. If you're going to write a program that works the 1st time, then it helps if the control flow is relatively simple, there isn't a lot of complexity that can come about with interaction with state, and it does just one thing.

To claim it is insured by the SIPC when it is not is just false advertising (or big time incompetence). It's not a good game to play if you will get sued for it.
> What makes this different?

The intent. The SIPC will insure the funds if their purpose is to be exchanged for securities as some point.
I've worked in product development consulting for over a decade, and I wouldn't say stateside manufacturing is more difficult -- quite the opposite really for many of the reasons mentioned in other comments. There are plenty of small molding, machining, PCB, etc. shops across the country who would love to work on these kinds of low-volume jobs.

Cost and time are the killer, though. To manufacture a simple electronic product in the US could easily double the lead time compared to a Chinese manufacturer and tooling costs might be 2 to 10x. Per-part cost really depends on what it is you're making and how much hand assembly is required.

My industry is much more concerned with quality and predictability than cost, so choosing US (or European) manufacturers hasn't been a hard choice. But for consumer products, I'm not surprised that the math doesn't work out.
Can someone explain how the current licence is a problem for the following:

* Encourage ongoing contributions to LLVM by preserving a low barrier to entry for contributors.

* Protect users of LLVM code by providing explicit patent protection in the license.

* Protect contributors to the LLVM project by explicitly scoping their patent contributions with this license.

* Eliminate the schism between runtime libraries and the rest of the compiler that makes it difficult to move code between them.

* Ensure that LLVM runtime libraries may be used by other open source and proprietary compilers.

Is it because the other license is relatively unknown? Can anyone shed light on why they didn't opt to go for BSD or MIT license? (is it the patent protection stuff?)

The infrastructure to deliver other drinks without bottles is easy and has existed since the 19th century. Just ship the flavoring agents in some sort of syrup form, and mix it with water at the dispensation site. Force-carbonate it onsite, if you like.

Compared to bottles, it has the added advantage of being really inexpensive. So much so that, when places like gas stations and convenience stores sell the same beverage in both fountain and bottled forms, the fountain version is typically sold at a steep discount relative to the bottled one.
I'm a Cornell alum (Comp Sci undergrad, Class of 2001.) For my current startup, we go to Cornell Tech to recruit. I'm taken aback at the campus -- it is beautiful, just the right blend of remoteness in an urban setting, and I think it would be a great place to study. The various buildings and diverse meeting/sitting/study places is great and I think will get even better as the campus builds out.
Is it expensive to travel to and from there?
Stanford dropped out before submitting their bid because Cornell got a big donation that Stanford wasn't able to match. Stanford was actually the clear favorite before that happened.
You're being downvoted, likely due to your tone, but I'm not sure the information has been spread widely. Those accounts are insured by SIPC because the funds will be used to purchase securities. This is the distinction.

I was always searching for this license, but I had previously only found The Clear BSD License, the BSD license with a PATENTS-NOT-INCLUDED clause (oops), and the Universal Permissive License, which is a general permissive license WITH a patent clause, but too obscure to inspire confidence among other developers.

Now I'm going to recommends BSDplusPatent instead of Apache 2. Simply and clear.
Ah, interesting. How do you experimentally verify that you've solved the 3D model? My first guess is that you can have an agent bind to targets with that structure and then figure out how much binding occurred. This is a very uneducated stab, though.

Even if it happened rarely capital gains would be a force driving inequality as the barrier to entry into investing your capital to offset for doing actual work remains high. That it sometimes fail would be sad for the ones it failed for, but still doesn't stops it from being a driving force for a big effect on the economy.
Yeah, they still have to fill you at the NBBO, and this trade routing is no different from what other brokers (Schwab/E-Trade/etc.) do when you place a trade.

TL;DR: Write an Elm to native app compiler/interpreter. Servers serve Elm code.

(As an aside, The loveliness of Elm is incidental to the point. If it looked like COBOL it would still make economic sense. Lots of people have developed DSLs for apps, the important thing about Elm is that it's a very elegant and well-thought-out domain-specific system for specifying apps. Elm is much less complex than HTML+CSS+JS+Frameworks/libs/NPM etc.)

At the moment, the delivery vehicle for Elm-specified apps is the Fractal Rube Goldberg Machine, yes.

But consider e.g. an Elm-to-GTK compiler, or Elm-to-TCL/Tk interpreter, whatever... The FRBM is just a reasonable first target platform.

I don't think I'm wrong here, or even saying anything controversial. Go look at what VPRI did with STEPS. Our code volume and complexity is too high by two or three orders of magnitude.
If you already have the structures, what is there left to solve?

Indeed, every part of this story really happened because of Ryan's coverage. His reveal is what brought it to the attention of other Google employees, members of Congress, and human rights groups. And eventually, it appears key information he released is what also led to it's effective closure.

{ I worked at an airport for a subcontractor of UPS one winter, around the holidays. On the one hand, it was an awesome job for someone who loved airplanes as much as I did (do). On the other, this was in Montana, and spending 3-4 hours every morning before school unloading an airplane's worth of packages, and then loading them into other smaller aircraft, in the ~0F weather plus 30mph windchill was pure misery. We were just tools, used to unload awkwardly sized containers full of packages onto a conveyor, and sort those packages to the right aircraft. Somehow this (in 2004) was still cheaper to use humans for, rather than some sort of automated barcode scanning system....but it was ~7.25 an hour in Montana, and for a HS student, that was good money.

Its not the same kind of repetitive mind numbing work that this article describes, but it was just as full of unexplained pitfalls, with the added benefit of being on a freezing cold active runway. I ended up losing that job, after a few months, which in retrospect, was probably a good thing for my education.
I guess so as far as taking risks.

I just see bringing those customers along after putting out information that could be seen as deceptive / was deleted and already called into question info a recipe for legal and regulator ... pounding.

Silly social media stuff is one thing, but financial stuff where you rope in users with stuff that sounds like "bank" but isn't. Whole mess of folks out there with serious legal tools to come down on you, and a lot eager to do so.

This just seems unusually risky.

Not just decriminaliation/legalization. Would also need a pretty decent amount of regulation to ensure dealers aren't serving impure products. Cutting with fentanyl is done as a cost saving technique. Due to it's potency at low doses, dealers can get away with selling less product for the same cost since users will get just as high.

It looks like you have put together the content and navigation well. Wordpress' solution for your challenge is to use 'themes'. A Wordpress theme is a unified package of predesigned and optimized HTML, CSS, JS, and images. There are thousands of free and low cost themes to match every look and feel you may want to achieve. Themes rarely are 100% perfect for your needs; some themes provide customization tools that don't require any code, others may need some HTML/CSS work. It is highly recommended that you first get yourself a local development copy of Wordpress, that way you can make changes on your computer and test them before pushing those changes to GoDaddy and the rest of the internet.

I recommend this is a good place to get started with a local development system: https://local.getflywheel.com/ Once that is in place, start looking for themes on here: https://wordpress.org/themes/ - These should all be free. If nothing works there I would head over to ThemeForest.net for commercial themes which are more fully featured.
Except its more like you can choose if you wanted a fraction of a percent added to the price or if you wanted to pay a $5 delivery fee.

The answer varies for small and large orders (and even by share price) For most retail investors that use something like Robinhood, the average order size is small so a flat $5 fee would be way worse.

In the United States, most bottled water isn't shipped very far. For example, the Nestle water sitting in front of me says the source is Denver's municipal water system.

The Safeway bottled water I buy when I'm in California says it comes from Sacramento's municipal water system.

Unless you buy something exotic like Fiji or NYC2O water, chances are it comes from a nearby city.
It's not that debt doesn't matter. It does. But at the macro level, it works in counter intuitive ways mostly because of the fact that every dollar of debt is someone else's saving (the person the debt is owed to). If you reduce debt by $1T you necessarily reduce savings by $1T. Whether this is good or bad depends on finer details that are rarely discussed in internet forums and that seem only to be fully grasped by the best economists.
When it is such a cherry you only really need to see the one.
The first mailing list post is a pretty good dive: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-October/091536...

In particular, the Apache license is a very clear and more importantly very well-accepted mechanism of licensing relevant patents and not irrelevant ones. The BSD and MIT licenses may or may not license patents depending on how you (or the courts, really) interpret "Permission to use ... is hereby granted ...."

They also had a custom scheme for dual-licensing the runtime libraries that get linked into compiled binaries. The new scheme grants a non-attribution license based on the fact that it ended up in your code after running clang, not which repo it was in, which makes it easier for LLVM to refactor code between repos.

You know, I just read that whole thread, and I don't see a problem. Maybe they were being jerks about it, or maybe some of that nuance was lost in translation. However, software licensing is a legal issue and legal issues are usually places where you don't want any ambiguity about intent and expected results. I don't think directness is necessarily a problem in this situation (think of how a cease and desist letter from a lawyer would read - it's not gonna spend a lot of time padding your ego).
Just a comment - I would be completely unable to use this board. I think the angle of the two halves of your board is way too steep.
