> how can the criminal justice system in Baltimore be biased against 'black people's drugs' as a minority when they are numerically in the majority?

Oh, they SO can be. They might be numerically in the majority, but the people in power (including some Black people) don't give a SHIT about poor Black people. And act like it.

Not all the people in power are elected (lots of unelected people and institutions have SO much power, like Johns Hopkins, and major developers). But for those who are elected, how they keep getting elected when not only Black people but probably poor Black people are a majority, it's a bit of a mystery to me too.

A good compromise that would keep things equal for everyone would be to use a strong copyleft license (GPL). Normally when I think of specific scenarios involving companies using it (a real issue that has come up for me before), GPL was strongly considered as an option. Not to prevent them from using it, but rather to ensure that they don't use the free software to gain a further advantage without giving their own improvements to that same software back to the community.
In your scenario half of the 64 bit certificates could be brute forced in 6 months anyway.

The same sort of problem occurs on the other end when you try to compare the risk of driving vs walking. Cars are 5 times faster in the city and 20 times faster on the highway than walking. The trips are almost always shorter on foot, you drive to the far away big box store but would walk to the neighbourhood store. Better metrics than risk per unit of distance would be risk per unit of time spent or risk per trip.

I would point out that in a similar way few people drive between continents but flight is common.

How does systemd, or any init for that matter, come into the picture if you're running everything inside docker? Containers don't use any init, right? They just execute the binary in the host environment (but containerised). Or am I missing something?

Edit: nevermind, OP is using Alpine as the host OS as well.

Of course - I'm not assuming anything much about your suggestion. It seems like a great idea in fact.

I personally don't have a read on how much support there would be among well known independent/commnity-aligned services for such a campaign. If there did exist a widespread sentiment of that sort, it'd be great.

I feel you on the constant side-track 'what if?' questions for sure!

For my part, I don't cleave to the Vegan Society's definition of 'vegan,' or anybody else's but mine, for that matter. I use the word only as a generally-comprehensible shorthand for the choice schema I dig. In particular, my notion of'veganism' has a lot to do with environmental impact considerations and also discards the notion that humans and nonhuman animals are to be considered separately.

So, in answer to your initial question : yes minimize animal exploitation, yes that includes humans, and yes to also minimizing other types of exploitation.

One good, if jarring and sometimes a little eurocentric, book that shaped a lot of my ethical views along these lines is "Plant-Thinking" by Michael Marder

p.s. edit -- to clarify re : 'industrial society' comment : generally the thrust of folks' questions to me on that topic is along the lines of "Well, the exploitation of animals is so woven into the fabric of our society that for a person to credibly claim an honest effort in distancing themselves from it, they'd have to go be some kind of Edenic hermit out in the papaya-laden jungle. Hell, even the glue that holds your shoes together is probably animal-hide-derived. Your violin is probably finished with an insect-based varnish! Etc etc etc etc" Just like the "what ifs," a litany of difficulties, real or invented, that folks think might stand in the way of a logically consistent 'vegan' choice. [p.s. why people desire logical consistency in other folks' consumer choices in the first place is well beyond me]
Just a stupid question. Why would you need a bundler for plain HTML?

I agree on everything else, but I kinda tripped on that and I'm not sure what you're actually looking for.

This is the most hype-driven bit of misinformation I'm surprised fox news did not publish it first?
> But those engineers also want to have jobs doing what they like and to make a living

In the US, the average software engineer's salary is more than double the average person's salary. Nobody who chooses to be a software engineer at any of these companies has any trouble making a living. They could literally work only half the year and still do just fine.

The fact that they're doing this all year tells me that either they are indeed capitalists and wish to maximize their income, or building these proprietary systems is in fact what they like to spend all their time doing.

> they aren't the driving force behind unbounded growth and corporate conquest; they just get paid by it

There's plenty of people in this world who have the skills to get paid far more than they do, yet spend their time and energy doing something they find more worthwhile. "We just get paid" is a dangerous slope to stand on.

How do you reconcile them as idealists who want less monopolization and more openness and better privacy, yet at the same time aren't doing it for amassing wealth? What other reason could there be for doing a job one doesn't want to do?

> Just look at the sentiment of your average HN comment section.

People are notoriously bad at accurately explaining their own behavior.
Right. And the (white) public perception of such things has SO MUCH to do with the public perception of race and what they assume it means, and, to use a phrase that's become popular, "anti-Black tropes". The white public perception. Which is enough.
In my opinion it seems that there isn't so much wrong with docker as with people wanting to chase the new thing.
If you look at the majority of people proclaiming the impending death of docker you'll see that it's because they think a new service has replaced it, the new thing.
I don't believe that docker is going anywhere simply because it is easy to use. I was looking at tutorials for kubernetes and couldn't figure it out even after the third pass. Docker I had up and running in a matter of minutes.
There will always be something new for people to chase, and new is interesting.
This is part of why web architecture is so fractured, people want to use the new thing whatever it may be.
But there is something to be said for easy.
That's a surprisingly luddite response on a technology forum. Paper ballots have all their own set of security challenges. The North Carolina event that literally happened this year being a great such example. The Battle of Athens is another - a literal gunfight over who would hold possession over the ballot box.

Or how about all the issues over running out of paper ballots, long lines, etc. With electronic voting you could have everyone pre-enter their vote electronically & just "drop" it off by scanning their phone & getting a printed receipt they can use to confirm their vote was recorded correctly cryptographically.

It is possible to actually design secure electoral systems that actually protect the integrity of the election better (better anonymity, better traceability, better auditing, less error, more accessibility, etc, etc, etc). Convenience is also important; there are even ways you can potentially design the system to run on semi-trusted hardware which means lower cost & more polling stations, easier access etc. This rhetorical argument of making fun of the idea as "we can wait a couple of days for the results" completely ignores the actual advantages of such a system. It also completely ignores that a paper trail isn't mutually exclusive from electronic voting.

The challenge is in making sure the process for creating these systems isn't corrupted, especially by technologically illiterate legislative leaders who don't seem to place any of the most basic protections that experts recommend. They also don't have the balls to hold the voting companies to task for designing secure systems; somehow it's a non-issue for the same companies to do the obviously right things when it comes to their other customers (banks).
Wow... I wonder how much of this could have been avoided if the 737-Max had just been given an entirely new model name like "738".

I'd assume that when the 777's came out even pilots with experience on the 767 and other Boeing planes were still given ample training beforehand. The minor difference in the Max's model name disguises the seemingly large difference in their operation.
I'm hopeful that the work on non-lexical lifetimes will extend to this in some fashion, but honestly I'm not sure it's possible while making the same guarantees since you need to make sure that the borrow expires before the data becomes invalid.

However, in many cases, you probably just want a Box or something instead of a borrow within a struct. Do you have a specific example where you want a borrow?
As an anaesthesiologist (well, senior trainee), I hesitate to comment on this, but here goes nothing...

I think it’s important to remember that the vast majority of anaesthesia delivered does not involve ‘general anaesthesia’ nor neuromuscular blocking drugs. Most patient’s experience of anaesthesia is sedation, where the aim is comfort, not absence of recall.

There is a bit of a movement to reduce our reliance on neuromuscular junction blocking drugs, which will hopefully lead to a decrease in the incidence of awareness under general anaesthesia.

In my institution, even of general anaesthetics, less than 30% would involve neuromuscular blockade.

Neuromuscular blockade only affects your skeletal muscle, not muscles like your heart or those in your gut.
Using Box/Rc for linked lists is generally a bad idea since it can easily lead to a stack overflow due to the way destructors are called.
I mean, the core had 3 commits just last month. Some of the client libraries are much more active:

https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb-python/commits/master
https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb-rs/commits/next

Sure, that's not a ton of development, but at least it's actually, really, open source.

In addition, the software itself doesn't really need much improvement. It does what it's supposed to do very well and the client libraries are fantastic.

> If only you'd written an offline-first PWA and used background-loading and prefetching with some intelligence to retry failed requests in order to deliver content before I actually need it this would have worked so much better.

This is a unicorn. If it's the real world we're talking about, as far as I can tell client-heavy webapps that are actually engineered this well -- and don't frequently end up in a more inscrutable state than a pageload failure when network issues rear up -- are rare enough in practice that it feels weird to hold that up as the yardstick for criticism.

And if the point is that more applications should get there, well, that's more or less orthogonal to the point of the article, which (in spite of the headline) isn't so much that no one should use JS for anything ever (since the author details the JS he made a thoughtful choice to include), but that a notable range of UI behaviors that are frequently implemented using JS without a second thought don't necessarily have to be, and there are plausible benefits to the alternative. So this isn't exclusive with background loading / prefetching.
The host environment you're running Docker in still needs a services to be executed at boot.
To the best of my knowledge, they share a kernel, not an init.
In my experience, when it comes to market ideology and taxes, people don't argue from empathy, they argue from the pocketbook.

I really don't believe this is a thing. I think it's a myth.

A big difference I see between the IM days and today is that there are no more away/status messages. That’s something that really prevents me from chatting with people over SMS/iMessage (the only universal ‘chat’ apps left in my life). I think even though we’re all ‘always online’ these days, I would still set my status to ‘available’ if I was online and wanted to chat. Just leave it on ‘away’ or ‘busy’ for most of the day and then when you’re online and wanting some real-time chat, open up your status and see who’s online. sigh

We explored self-attention + CTC in our ICASSP 2019 paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.10055). Our implementation uses internal infra, so we're a ways from releasing code :(

Hoping paper details suffice and help with the parameter search, and happy to respond to questions over e-mail. Would love to see an open-source implementation with local or directed attention built out!
This is playing semantics, when using the term 'minority', we're talking about within the entire United States. Baltimore doesn't make federal drug laws, Washington D.C. does.

Police are tasked with enforcing these laws which are HEAVILY biased towards the kinds of drugs African Americans deal with.

Possession of 28 grams of crack cocaine yields a five-year mandatory minimum sentence for a first offense; it takes 500 grams of powder cocaine to prompt the same sentence.
Sure, register allocation is mostly solved and memory management is far from solved; thus memory management gets far more of the game programmer's attention (or else your game will play at two frames per second, plus occasional longer pauses).

But the analogy is otherwise fine: reviews of your game will mention the performance (because it matters), but they will not mention your memory management strategy (because the don't care and may not even know). They will mention the rules, the mechanics, the story, the graphics and music and sound effects. Those are all part of the actual problem.

Memory management is an implementation detail. Don't get me wrong: this implementation detail is so vital that it may very well make sense to structure the entire code base around it, but that doesn't mean it's part of the "actual" problem, at least if you use my definition.

(See also my other reply in this thread.)
It may be "real world" but it's unfair and what you're suggesting is racist. Honestly if I were to join a "[race] mafia" like your "Filipino mafia" my family would shame me, because that's immoral. Just like those who joined the Nazis for professional advancement were supporting a racist system, even if they didn't personally commit crimes themselves. Hope you have some morals to not go along with those sort of systems.

> The same can be said about any JS library that interacts with page controls.

Difference being JS, if written by an averagely competent individual, can be changed once and this change will apply to any instances where it's called, and this cute pattern will need to be manually updated in any number of places where it's applied, one by one.

> Yes, you can. 0 rework != 0 work.

Rework meaning you have to go back over the "done" thing and then do more to cover the technical debt. On each and every instance of the thing.

> if something in your JS gets broken

As opposed to replacing the cute styling trickery for browsers that don't really support it, which is somehow better?
I’d look at incidents per flight hour. Some of those 737s have been in the air for decades. I suspect the numbers for the 737 MAX will stand out more on this analysis.
Does that mean that twice as many will be cracked?/s
Yes and no. The basic 737 design dates to the 1950s. The first ones flew in the 1960s.

The 737 Max is an augmented version of the original.
If you have a solution to avoid using a bundler altogether, that would be great. Personally, I would use it for:

- compression of html/css/images.

- css compatibility with old browsers.

- source map / auto-refresh during development.

- For any even slightly complicated app, you still need at least a bit of javascript. So, you need babel, minification, source maps, and so on...

Crack didn't do the damage, the illegal black market for crack did most of the damage. Black people, heavily suffering from violence associated with illegal black markets, mistakenly backed mandatory harsh sentencing which devastated their communities even more.

Dealing with crack usage as a public health problem would have been far superior.

The harshest of the drug war existed prior to the 1994 crime bill as well.

The 'drug war' has always been intended to treat black and white users differently (and consequently the drugs they tend to reach for differently, not the other way around as many people assume); in many ways that was the whole point. See this article from Harpers [1]:

> I’d tracked Ehrlichman, who had been Nixon’s domestic-policy adviser, to an engineering firm in Atlanta, where he was working on minority recruitment. At the time, I was writing a book about the politics of drug prohibition. I started to ask Ehrlichman a series of earnest, wonky questions that he impatiently waved away.

> “You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

In my experience I had to update a bunch of scripts and configs which used systemd commands as well as using GNU versions of other commands (with some basic programs like `find` or `grep` this turned out to break a lot of stuff). That was my only big annoyance.

Plus the package manager and system structure was a bit of a learning curve.

But otherwise I was very happy with it. The lack of portability with my Linux ArchLinux/Debian desktop/servers can be overcome with time and experience like anything.

I used some basic Docker images as well but they always needed some config work, as they mostly installed the base software but didn’t get your apps running. Other people may be using more sophisticated images though.

The issue at hand, is people are REALLY sensitive to having their voting record(s) tracked. If you know someone's key, you can track all their votes on the blockchain.

If the blockchain isn't public, then it isn't trustable.

You can't have non-tracked + blockchain + trust.
Correct. Docker containers typically only contain one process, and that process runs as PID 1. If you need an init system, tini is very popular, and is now built in to docker itself[1]. Systemd is way heavy and overkill inside docker.
