No it’s not. The allegations the US lobbed w/out providing evidence are repeated by an article written by a US military contractor.

That’s not mathematical proof, evidentiary proof or really any bloody evidence at all.

Anyway opinion doesn’t matter at all: All that matters is that the Russians know if they violated the INF or not, and the US knows if we’re lying that they did or not.

The INF was a treaty for Europeans and Russians. The US is too far to be threatened by an INF missile.

So if they were lying, it was inconsequential to the US, except as leverage to tell the EU to buy more weapons cause you can’t trust the Ruskie.

If we’re lying, that’s very aggressive because the INF means something to the Ruskies; we demonstrated to the Russians we can not be trusted with nuclear security and therefor opened a whole can of hurt.

What's your point in derailing and making wrong statements? Cream cheese goes well inside (not on top) of sushi, which is backed by it's popularity outside of Japan. Which was a reply to GP saying cheese doesn't "go" with Japanese cuisine. None of your replies make any counter argument relevant to that, because it has nothing to do with current usage, but with future possibilities.

It might not be the first choice of most Japanese, if they kew about it, but neither is pizza. Pizza is, like cheese in supermarkets, an overpriced exotic or tourist meal. Sandwiches are a notable exception of affordable western style food here.

> Cream cheese isn't popular in Europe either.

It actually originated in England and it's extremely popular in Germany. You can find multiple types even in Aldi (the cheapest supermarket with smallest selection in Germany).

I'm honestly curious on what experience you are basing your conclusions. It seems to me it's based on short trip tourism.
I'm not sure what point Dvorak is even making in that article. Yeah, a lot of ultimately wasted effort went into Itanium. But we ended up with x86-64 plus a somewhat diminished set of CPUs from some of the big Unix vendors. It's an interesting question but I'm ultimately not sure that the computer industry would look all that different today had Intel just done 64-bit extensions to x86 or something similarly evolutionary.

AMD might well not exist. But, except for HP, the big Unix vendors mostly hedged their bets anyway. The large Japanese companies who also backed Itanium never were going to make the investments to break out beyond Japan.
At my university I only have write permissions in my home folder so I prefer this too and I only need to backup my home directory as well.
The quote which forms the body of the post is surprisingly interesting.
Personally, I think the title of this should have been "Why is PayPal so successful yet they treat their users like crap?"

I have had multiple people come to me asking why their PayPal payment was rejected, or why PayPal closed their account, or myriad other questions. My answer to them is always the same: PayPal does what PayPal wants, and (in practice) users have little to no recourse to that fact.
I realize this is just my personal experience. That being said, I was an early customer of 23andme, and their health checks actually alerted me to two different things that I have since taken appropriate measures for. They were legitimate issues that I hadn't sussed out previously, but further testing confirmed them. I'm grateful for what I learned.

Tell me again how much "leash" the affluent white male bias gets on this board.

The point is it doesn't matter what is on paper, it's enforcement that matters. China can write whatever it wants, but it's actions that count. They are implementing a social credit system and actively censoring all communication platforms, who cares what their constitution says?

It clearly doesn't matter what is written down. To go back to the original quote:

I remember getting a PayPal account in like...1999 or 2000. That's a long time. Only within the past 5 years have processors like Stripe and Square have really gained visibility, and they each have their own niche (developer-friendly and small-shop-owner-friendly, respectively).

The Eng. and Rural bit may simply be a matter of trying to spread the field.

Growing up in a rural area, 'Harvard' is just some place you hear about from TV, few think they can get it. In a way it's kind of like economic classism, but from a different angle.

As for 'family' ... Queen's U in Ontario does this because they think there is value to that kind of coherence. I believe this to be true, at least to the point wherein a Uni should be able to do this if they want. Obviously, problems arise when it gets to elitism (!) but at face value there's something to it.

It's a tricky subject no matter what. Admissions at Harvard has to be in some ways one of the worst jobs in the world as I suggest they'll be right in the middle of the culture wars from here on in.

Milk was always my favorite drink and I consumed 2+ gallons a week as well (full fat). Last year I decided to test out weaning myself off of it to see what if any impact it would have on my body. I tried every alternative on the market and my findings were:

1. unsweetened hemp milk has the best taste and consistency but is too low in protein to be a full substitute

2. Silk's Protein Nutmilk has the next best flavor and an acceptable consistency but with a better nutrition profile

After a couple of weeks, I stopped craving cow's milk. Still eating plenty of cheese and yogurt though.
Is it? I have seen them used in the exact same way. For example: lowering barriers to entry to a university is lowering the bar. Are they not the same thing?
> Basically any usage of VR outside of gaming right now is guaranteed to just be marketing nonsense.

I've seen some noise about VR used to locate pipes and wires when digging. That seems pretty legit.

I've also heard of VR used in conjunction with building construction, although it's less obvious to me just how useful it would be.
> but we're definitely on the same spectrum

That is absolutely ridiculous.

USA has an independent judicial system, investigations of government behaviour via congressional committees, oversight over consumer impacts via Bureau of Consumer Protection, oversight over corporate governance via SEC. China has none of this.

I would also refer you to the Corruption Perceptions index:
https://www.transparency.org/cpi2018

USA has a score of 71/100 and for China it is 39/100.
And of course it's just a coincidence that these "holistic qualities" happen to be found more frequently in some races than others?
Consumer is appropriate here and the word makes a difference. I'm a customer of 23andMe, but I'm not a consumer (purchased for others, have not used myself).

We live in a world where words mean something specific, generally to communicate an idea, not warm fuzzy feelings, and it's important that we use the right words so not to fall into the trap of multi-national businesses pretending their employees are "family" because it sounds nice.
It’s pure marketing, where the reality would be “juice” if we’re being charitable. In a lot of cases it’s water with a hint of X, and a lot of added sugar. All told drinking a lot of anything other than water is probably a bad move, but evidence suggests that if you’re not lactose intolerant, milk is a healthier choice for what you put on cereal.

All things being equal, my major issue with alternative “milk” isn’t the semantic debate though. The fact that they’re often high in sugar, low in protein and fat is a bad sign. The fact that many (especially almond milk) are mostly water isn’t promising, and the environmental impact of chugging almond milk should become clear to California within a decade or so.

Mostly it’s just another fad (in terms of scale), promulgated by people who should know better, and others trying to sell you their “milks.”
Money is an effective tool to further almost any mission.

I'm not sure exactly what Harvard's mission statement is, but if the money that comes with a legacy student is enough, then taking on the student is almost certainly a good way to advance the mission.

Maybe I'm being unfair to the snap devs. But maybe not. Comments like this don't inspire confidence:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1575053...

Also, the bug was first reported in 2016, and Mark Shuttleworth himself has commented on it. And yet it's still not fixed. That gives me the impression that the devs don't consider it super-important. Which is odd to me, since I consider not doing this kind of thing to be 'table stakes' for any application that wants me to take it seriously.

> If you have an issue with default folders that are quite normal in a modern desktop environment I suggest you move back to Arch or wherever you came from and install i3 again?

Ummm, I came from Linux before they started having default Documents, Videos, etc folders. And, like I said, the nice thing is that, in Linux, I can change the XDG environment variables and delete the (IMHO) foolish Documents, Music, Videos, etc folders.
The argument for affirmative action is not simply that some groups were historically disadvantaged by university admissions bodies. Some groups are still put at a disadvantage long before they begin the college admissions process (which is often compounded by the historical efforts to disadvantage their parents). Some groups may never have been specifically targeted by universities, but because of systematic repression elsewhere in society they are unrepresented in some fields of study. There is also the general benefit of having a diverse student body, so that people from different backgrounds can bring different ideas, experiences, and ways of thinking with them to the university, which benefits all students (regardless of why they were admitted).

You do not have to agree with those points, but you should at least know what it is that you are disagreeing with.

Also, as a Jew, I would rather not see minority groups using the history of antisemitism as a wedge against other minorities. While everyone is arguing about affirmative action, Harvard is admitting "legacy" students simply because their parents happened to attend Harvard, which helps to lengthen the effects of Harvard's discriminatory policies against earlier generations (to the detriment of Jewish, Asian, Black, and Latino applicants).
If my understanding is right, their security measures are over-engineered even that means losing profits. As an individual I told them (about 10 times, after my account recovered) that I own them couple of thousand dollars. They responded "no, you are perfectly fine" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You only have to look at China's religious "re-education" camps to know that the government in no way defers to the Constitution or any other laws.
Correct.

But what they should do is have hiring managers who understand that people with experience and wisdom, and ability to learn, can be applied to new technologies more effectively and securely (with past experience of seeing what goes wrong in infrastructure) than people with 5 years of the latest buzzword technology. Have a look at DevOps jobs descriptions lately and notice:

. 5 years experience in AWS/Cloud Deployments

. CI/CD pipeline

. Containers a must (Kubernetes / Docker)

. Basic bash scripting

. One of Python/Ruby/Node/etc.

. BS/Engineering Degree or equivalent experience

That's it.

Now you understand where horror stories in infrastructure come from, and why companies hire expensive consultants or "DevOps Shops" to repair shoddy setups.

This, however, is one step above the following:

"We're seeking a full-stack developer to develop our front and back-end systems, including designing and enhancing AWS infrastructure utilizing Docker / ECS and CI/CD pipeline via Jenkins or equivalent CI system." That's the Startup 10X Engineer Special that pops up a lot.

Yup, good luck!
I didn't say it was without downsides, I realized that there's a huge potential of losing lots of talented people who merely just don't have the patience to [...].

As the parent indicates they're porting it to x86-64. I've been away from following HP proprietary systems for almost 10 years but they put a plan in place quite a while ago when it became obvious that Itanium had no future. Remember that systems in this space don't need to be the latest and greatest. They need a long support roadmap but it's mostly fine if hardware is on the older side.
I would say that is being motivated though, just with a different motivator! :P
University applications should not contain any data such as race, name, gender, or place of origin that would allow the university to discriminate for or against the applicant based on their genetics.

We've decided as a nation to outlaw discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin. We should fucking act like it. If the Asian kid down the street who spent five hours a night studying gets into Harvard and I don't, that's the way it should be.

Given that IQ seems to be >50% hereditary, wouldn’t we expect legacies to be over-represented in any meritocracy that partially selects for such a trait? I don’t think Harvard is a pure meritocracy, it’s more of a theoretical question.
Maybe not even a coincidence!

Maybe extremely high SAT and grades are correlated with poor 'holistic' qualities such as social skills, communication, leadership, creativity, 'round character' (i.e. athleticism, disposition, generosity, musicianship).

I'm not saying they are - I'm saying it wouldn't really surprise me if they were, and then we have to think about it a little bit!

It's a tricky subject no doubt.
In principle, yes, but the proliferation of broadly defined crimes has made the formal guarantees much less valuable than they might otherwise be. In current US law, especially federal criminal law, prosecutors have a huge amount of discretionary power, and the discretion itself, i.e. who they choose to investigate and charge and who they don't, is subject to very weak judicial oversight (they can more or less only get in trouble for it if they're dumb enough to say on the record something like, "I looked for something to charge this person with because they're black"). And if a federal prosecutor does decide they want to charge you with something and is willing to spend resources on a fishing expedition, they're pretty likely to find some charge that will stick.

Seriously, UI components are hard. Even a lowly button is difficult to get right, where ”right” means ”whatever smart people have converged on after 30 years of GUIs”. Anything more complex than a button is much much harder. There are a lot of things wrong with the whole ”web app” concept but to me maybe the most important is everybody trying to implement their UI widgets from scratch. And I say this as someone whose job used to be writing and maintaining a webapp UI framework.

My takeaway was that the designs might be different not just the same but done more quickly in VR. They stressed the point that in VR the designer can place themselves in the car and design at a "human scale." "We can get ourselves into the mind and the body, the virtual body, of our customer."

As far as the title, I think just dropping the "3D" might make it better?
There is nothing wrong with doing a lift and shift as phase 1. But too many companies stop there and too many “consultants” are just old school net ops guys and that’s all they know.

I said in another post that I was a dev lead for a company that decided to move to AWS. After dealing with “consultants”, realizing how shallow their knowledge was after I started learning about AWS and seeing how much we were paying them, I changed my whole career focus.

I got another job at a small company that was running completely on AWS who needed some “adult supervision”, self demoted to an individual contributor and I’m getting real world AWS experience so I can become an overpaid consultant who actually can consult with developers, devops, and infrastructure departments.
Actually, no, it is not a coincidence that holistic qualities are not uniformly distributed across every social group. For example, a member of a historically privileged group is less likely to be the first member of their family to attend college than a member of a historically disadvantaged group.

From Chile: Allende was declared unconstitutional by the congress. The CIA came into play because the KGB and the Cubans were working here. There was inflation of more than 400%, the communists expropriated and introduced weapons, the country was in ruins and near a civil war.

> Wow, this is really assuming the worst in people.

Yes, I am. I'm fed up with programs that spam my system without asking: install plug ins, menu items, directories on the desktop, dock items etc for "convenience" -- it's convenient for them, not me. It's especially painful when I pay for an app and it sprays shrapnel through my filesystem.

> It’s much more likely to be ignorance

Indeed, but if they can't be bothered to learn basic system hygiene how can I be confident the rest of their package is safe to use?

A big driver for sandbox/containers in user systems is not protection against malign actors per se but against the lazy and ignorant.

Have I written bugs into code? Of course I have, I'm human. But at least I try to get things right up front; to be a good citizen.

(there are additional reasons for containers in server systems, hence my qualification of "user systems" above).
