I wouldn't say there's anti-Chinese sentiments that is unwarranted.

China is actively stealing from advanced technology holding countries. Whataboutism is a common way to justify the behavior, which further inflmmates and even conjures up the good old sinophobia.

I think that much of what you read as anti-Chinese content is simply anything that describes a future without China as a hegemony.

China faces a huge risk of fragmenting like the USSR did, from which it would never fully recover.

but given the iron grip of the government and the military it is far more likely we will see China slip into a authoritarian state much like Putin's Russia or North Korea.

I think instead a far more likely candidate that could possibly challenge the US hegemony is a sort of EURO-ASIA partnership, where European countries would compete for highly educated workforces. Culture might be a barrier, but I feel that Japanese and Koreans work well with Europeans.

So it would be a China exclusive economic coalition that would pose a challenge to the US, if they do not move away from their current trajectory.

Russia will 100% fragment in the next 5 years, as they are literally on their last reserves and China is also not far off because their debt is staggering, not unlike the Japanese real estate bubble crisis.

Again my prediction is the US hegemony is unlikely to be challenged by a sole country superpower, but rather economically and technological coalition of outside countries that can pose a challenge (basically US vs the rest of the world which is even unlikely....as the US has port calls all over the world).

If China is to replace US, it needs to start building those nuclear carriers fast and well, something which is an impossibility at this current rate.
I'd challenge you actually try to get to know some people working as waitresses and reevaluate your position about tipping on top of minimum wage being "obscene".
Many more men than women have had their career as C-level executives ended by sexual indiscretions. That's of course because there are many more men than women in C-level executive positions, but your "if he was a woman" is a non sequitur.
>The idea that all bugs are gross is largely due to unfamiliarity.

I'm really, really skeptical of this idea. One of the most interesting phobias is Trypophobia, fear of irregular patterns or of small holes/bumps. It's not really a fear, ... but more of an evolutionary response. Humans are good at recognizing patterns and irregular holes/bumps tend to mean disease or "something gross and dangerous probably laid eggs here". Those things tend to be insects, or bugs, or whatever.

As an aside, eating bugs has become all the rage with some of my more culturally eccentric friends. I don't really know why, since they can definitely afford actual food and seem to engage in this as some kind of signal of cultural experience or "competency".

Insurance against MeToo as vital for business
Regarding the docker support, there are two flavors inside Jelastic:

1) Native Docker Engine - you can create a dedicated container engine for your project in the same way as you do on any IaaS today, for example

How to run Docker Swarm https://jelastic.com/blog/docker-swarm-auto-clustering-and-s...
How to run Docker Engine https://jelastic.com/blog/docker-engine-automatic-install-sw...

The advantage here is the exactly vertical scaling feature. In Jelastic unused resources will not be considered as paid while at any other cloud provider you will have to pay for the resource limits.

2) Enhanced System Containers based on Dockerfile - there is no need to provision a dedicated docker engine or swarm. This solution provides even better density, elasticity, multi-tenancy and security, more advanced integration with UI and PaaS features set compared to #1. It supports multiple processes inside a single container, you can get an SSH access and use all standard tools for app deployment, write to local filesystem, use multicast and so on. It supports traditional or legacy apps while images can be prepared in the same familiar Dockefile format. Unfortunately it's not fully compatible with Native Docker Engine due to specifics limitations/requirements of docker technology itself.

Thank you for pointing out this issue. In the upcoming release we will clarify the difference between two and provide more tips which one is better to use in various cases.
I think this is a great observation and I'd like to add to it. I've used it nightly for many years with some breaks of various lengths and am back on a break from it. My mental acuity and ambition have shot back up after a week of discontinued use. I'm a very nice person but it does affect your ability to be empathetic which I'd call almost a creative process although we've been taught or at least repeat that weed is supposed to help creativity. This may go hand in hand with the mental acuity. Luckily I am aware of the importance of and have the capability to stop when I endure a large life change and realize the need to process these things in a sober way. However, once these fade I find myself slipping down into the hole of "well it's ok to use on weekends" -> "it's ok to use on week nights as long as I don't have anything important going on" -> "I don't know how I'd fall asleep without it". So therein lies the danger and as someone who is fairly young especially for the crowd here, I'm actually quite frightened that this may hinder my ability to do fulfilling and ambitious things in life.

That's some spectacularly tenuous, desperate, ludicrous, over-reaching rationalising. Once I got to that point I wasn't sure if the whole thing wasn't a sophisticated trolling exercise.
Just some minor pedantry - that should be on premises. Although it's pretty commonly misused, technically premises should always be plural when referring to a property/residence/place of business, and premise (as a noun) only means "a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion."
Can't. It's a fixed 30 year mortgage at a 3.375% rate. Refinancing it will increase that by at least a point. Plus, I originally did get the loan through a local credit union, who then sold it to a consolidator who sold it to a big national bank (which happened to be Wells Fargo). Local credit unions generally don't hold onto mortgages. They don't have the economies of scale to service them efficiently.
Probably more to do with the fact that there's so much high quality porn on the internet that we're honestly desensitized to amateur quality celeb nudes. Briefly intriguing, but overall rather "meh?"

Fine, you are entitled to use (most) public space. You are just not entitled to use it in the way you want, depending on what you want.

Thanks to the love of Jesus, the US of A was founded before the invention of automobiles, and there's no equivalent of Second Amendment that grants, I mean, "recognizes" its citizens' inalienable right to drive motor vehicles. Driving is a privilege.

And it relies on people following the social contract around it, including not drinking and driving, and some way to actually enforce it before some drunkard runs over my kids.

If the specific strategies and actions by police are bad-faithed or ineffectual, by all means, argue about these specific points, but I'm tired of these armchair guardians of freedom who think paved roads grow on trees.

That’s actually a huge opportunity though. If you have a small edge in information, you can make millions.

Undoubtedly, there can be no such thing as perfect market efficiency because information takes time (even in our interconnected age) to travel, be grok’d and then acted upon.

Companies that focus on building an edge on either analytics or an edge on information gathering are where the real money is.
Even unsafe Rust code is a bit safer than C. For example, in Rust unsafe code, using an uninitialized variable leads to a compiler error – you have to use something explicit like std::mem::uninitialized.
> If most citizens think a thing constitutional, does that make it so?

It means that most citizens think a thing constitutional. You seem to have an assumption that saying "X is constitutional" can only represent some universal fact rather than a personal opinion.

> Or have they merely 'ruled' that it was constitutional

I mean yes, this is exactly how Supreme Court decisions are talked about - whether the Court will rule certain way. A court can rule that pi equals 3 and lower courts will even have to follow that precedent in their own decisions, but it would obviously be foolish for anyone else to repeat this as factual.

What you're doing is akin to equating legality and morality, a standard technique to quash dissent. Categorically ruling out that a code could be wrong prevents being able to critically discuss it.

> It is a stubborn naysaying, notionally on principle, that renders the entire system of law and governance unworkable.

Yes, it is an all-too-common refrain that dissent hinders effective governing.
You are making the claim of an objective evaluation. It is your responsibility to provide proof of its objectivity. I otherwise an more willing to take something that at least has supporting evidence, dubious as it may be, to claims that have no evidence at all beyond ‘common sense’. I think that’s a pretty common sense position, but it’s clear we don’t agree.
Special primitives in programming languages should be provided to solve this problem, just like how Linux kernel uses a "barrier()" macro to mark non-reorderable code, and "wmb()" and "rmb()" to mark non-reorderable I/O.

OpenBSD provides

void explicit_bzero(void *s, size_t n);

In libc, which is used for this purpose. Recently, glibc added function, presumably because it's a good idea.

But it still has limitations due to lack of compiler support. I think the problem can only be solved at the compiler/OS level.

> The explicit_bzero() function addresses a problem that security-conscious applications may run into when using bzero(): if the compiler can deduce that the location to zeroed will never again be touched by a correct program, then it may remove the bzero() call altogether. This is a problem if the intent of the bzero() call was to erase sensitive data (e.g., passwords) to prevent the possibility that the data was leaked by an incorrect or compromised program. Calls to explicit_bzero() are never optimized away by the compiler.

> The explicit_bzero() function does not solve all problems associated with erasing sensitive data:

> 1. The explicit_bzero() function does not guarantee that sensitive data is completely erased from memory. (The same is true of bzero().) For example, there may be copies of the sensitive data in a register and in "scratch" stack areas. The explicit_bzero() function is not aware of these copies, and can't erase them.

> 2. In some circumstances, explicit_bzero() can decrease security. If the compiler determined that the variable containing the sensitive data could be optimized to be stored in a register (because it is small enough to fit in a register, and no operation other than the explicit_bzero() call would need to take the address of the variable), then the explicit_bzero() call will force the data to be copied from the register to a location in RAM that is then immediately erased (while the copy in the register remains unaffected). The problem here is that data in RAM is more likely to be exposed by a bug than data in a register, and thus the explicit_bzero() call creates a brief time window where the sensitive data is more vulnerable than it would otherwise have been if no attempt had been made to erase the data.
Well, it's sort of weird because I think at one time the thought was that "serious people" would never take a nude of themselves or have affairs, that this kind of action was somehow "beyond the pale" and an action only a few outliers engage in. Nowadays, everyone seems to have decided that these activities are actually very common, though likely still in the minority (I think??)

>There is no stigma to speeding.

Where on earth do you get this generalization from? In my circle of associates, speeders are near-universally castigated as people who willfully endanger the safety of innocent people. And I wouldn't think that would be surprising when you take into account the fact that many/most friends and loved ones have to drive frequently, and the fact that car accidents are so common in the domain of stupid pointless horrible accidental deaths.

Unless you're referring to people who are just going 5-10 mph over, which most people wouldn't call "speeding" conversationally.
From the article:

> The new bill, SB 208, was introduced by Senator Ben Hueso (D.-San Diego) earlier this week. It effectively sets a deadline of July 1, 2020 as the date by which phone companies must "take the steps necessary to stop these illegal scams."

> ...

> The FCC had previously suggested phone companies utilize a system called the Secure Telephony Identity Revisited and Secure Handling of Asserted information using toKENs (STIR/SHAKEN), which helps law enforcement identify numbers attached to robocall efforts. However, no deadline has yet been legally set for these companies to take any official action.

"This is a vague claim. Are you looking at the price per"

It's not vague at all.

By basically any nutritional measure, Fruit and Veg are the best deal. Even on the basis of protein, which might sometimes be tricky on 'mostly F&V diet' - it's cheaper - see your own data points for the many Veg's that have a ton of protein, on a cheaper basis than many meats.

"A cup of milk is a lot more nutritious than a cup of lettuce." - but maybe not more than a larger serving of Spinach, which is considerably cheaper.

"I have never claimed that fast food was cheaper than cooking at home."

The theme of this branch of the thread is that 'poor people can't afford to eat healthy' due to things like cheaper fast food' etc. - which is rubbish.

There are claims made by the USDA [1] which are totally misrepresentative, to the point of a lie. They claim anyone living >1 mile from a 'large grocery store' is in a 'food desert' - and that the problem lies in tons of 'Quick-e-mart' type places with terrible foods. The problem with their thesis is that '1 mile' is not far to go for groceries, that (almost) everyone does have access to fresh food, and that it's substantially cheaper than the crap in Quick-e-mart. The data essentially validates that 'poor people' are making bad nutritional choices quite on their own, not due to some kind of 'systematic problem'. They are buying crap from Quick-e-mart on their own volition, for whatever reason, not because they are coerced into it due to cost.

The fact is that a decent diet is available for relatively low cost to anyone that has the means to cook.

I takes a little bit of thinking, but not that much, and yes, some food products which should be more accessible (and possibly healthy) such as some processed foods, meats, dairy etc. are not very accessible, but they are also not necessary for a healthy diet.

> It doesn't have more data to mine than your ISP.

Let's say you are behind a NAT and then you sign on to your VPN. You've helpfully disambiguated yourself from everyone else behind the NAT. Let's say you head out to a coffee shop and sign in to you VPN. Your ISP can't monitor you, but your VPN provider could.

> It's not harder to figure out who to trust than with any other company.

Have you ever looked for VPN reviews? There are many sites that seem to do nothing except review VPNs. One example: https://www.trusted-vpn.com/. And its "reviews" are basically all advertising copy. So, maybe you check out a bigger name site: https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403388,00.asp. And ... it's more advertising copy. The third sentence in the article: "Everyone ought to be using a virtual private network, or VPN, as often as possible" - which again, sounds more like an article trying to push VPN sales (with helpful affiliate links!) than to provide actual reviews.

And the thing is, let's say you do find some site that is both trustworthy and doesn't seem to be trying to push you to click an affiliate link. What can a reviewer actually tell you about how you should trust the VPN company? Basically all they can do is read the privacy policy and rate that - which is absolutely no better than believing Google or Cloudflare when they say they won't track you with their DNS servers.

So, by all means use a VPN - but don't trust it.

Good. I don't know when it became OK to log just about everything a user does in your app (or operating system, in the case of Windows 10) "just in case". It's creepy, often unnecessary, and prioritizes the convenience of the developer over the user's right to privacy.
