America is a two party state... so what?

My point is if your mind is closed to looking at their actions at an objective level, there is no point arguing against your position, since it is that China is inherently evil, and is incapable of good actions.

Question is, what if you’re wrong? What if one party is better than two, or four, or 8? And if you can’t consider that possibility, are you any more open than China’s politically oppressive one-party system?
I really like the design. I do a lot of backend dev so I gotta ask, what goes into designing a aesthetically pleasing site like that?

Well that's concerning. I brought up long-term use to my GP, and didn't seem too concerned, but asked me to switch to melatonin, which I tried for a while.

These studies are extremely difficult to make an informed decision on, thanks to nearly everything being "linked" to some disease. See: Red meat [1]

I need to wean off it though. Thankfully dementia doesn't run in my family.

This raises the larger issue of our culture’s expectation that acres of manicured lawn is a reasonable thing to expect.

Once that seed of skepticism seeps in, you really reel at the sheer mass of wasted time and money which this country spends on manicuring lawns.

I agree that developer experience is paramount. I've actively made choices to choose tooling with better developer experience (Rust and Elixir over C++ and Erlang, for instance), and Podman will need to have Debian/Ubuntu packages eventually. If you're on Fedora, openSUSE, or RHEL, though, Podman is a yum/dnf/zypper install away and works quite well (better than Docker in my experience wrt SELinux issues).
They pull the physical signature card from when you registered and compare them by hand. Then they have a second person do it another room.

I think you're too enamored with technology to see that in this case it isn't being luddites about it that is the problem -- it's that very smart people have tried to solve this for a long time and come up with nothing.

It may be time to admit that the hundreds of security professionals with thousands of years of combined experience may just know more than you about election security.
How is someone who claims to be known for their writings on dark markets and bitcoins supposed to be an expert on smoking? Meanwhile, actual scientists and oncology doctors have concluded that for nicotine on its own (not smoking) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4363846/) "There is an increased risk of cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal disorders. There is decreased immune response and it also poses ill impacts on the reproductive health. It affects the cell proliferation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, DNA mutation by various mechanisms which leads to cancer. It also affects the tumor proliferation and metastasis and causes resistance to chemo and radio therapeutic agents."

+1 tannhaeuser. I live in a more heterogeneous environment than what docker can provide, and it seems to me that the ground docker covers is like you said, application packaging. This is frustrating since in a lot of cases, "applications" are only being provided as docker images. What the heck can I do with a docker image on something that doesn't provide docker? How do I have assurance that when teams pull docker images in from the wild, that they're actively maintained and not full of 0-day vulnerabilities? I've switched to pkgsrc and highly recommend it for solarish (and solaris), *bsd, centos, debian, mingw+windows, osx and whatever else one would feel like building binaries and dependencies for. The key to me is separating the operating system package manager, and the application dependencies such that when operations runs their mandatory apt/pkg/yum/dnf/whatever updates it doesn't break application dependencies. And on the flip side when applications want to screw with things that aren't in apt/yum/etc those custom needs can be met. This approach also doesn't preclude using the respective os container mechanism (zones/containerd/vmware/hyperv/chroot/etc). We package custom internal packages in our own internal pkgsrc repo, along side of the main repository that provides north of 10,000 packages.

More people should become hip to pkgsrc.
A lot of SF feels the same as when I lived there in the 90's. I'm mostly familiar with the inner richmond and sunset areas. Most of the same restaurants and stores are still there.
> Godoc.org is that platform, it serves the purpose.

Godoc.org is great. But (beyond documentation) it is at best a search engine, providing equal platform to all libraries however production ready or broken they might be. Unless I'm missing something, it does not intend to promote certain libraries over others, the same way as AUR -> community -> core works in Arch (which is the model I think is missing in Go).

> In Go you'd have to orchestrate this locality yourself, i.e. a fixed worker (goroutine) pool each with its own cache.

Having many small caches within the same process would result in more misses per key, which if it results in disk accesses would not be ideal or might be worse than contention.

Moreover, being able to spin Goroutines as and when required to branch off a big job into smaller tasks is the beauty and benefit of Go compared to other languages like C++ or Java, where you must start a thread pool upfront and shoot tasks off to it.

No, you cannot.

In python you can certainly define your own object which might be a list and override the list accessor for your object, but you cannot override the general list accessor for all lists or those lists that you don't have a reference to.

This is a big difference between a language like python and javascript.

In javascript, buried deep in a function scope of some library might be code that overrides Function.prototype.apply, and then everywhere else in your code that a function is invoked, the new behavior will take effect. Nothing like that type of interference is possible in Python. In Python, you can only monkey patch those things that you have a reference for.
None of that makes any kind of sense. You can't risk it when the equilibrium is that bad for you. Remember, to make any appreciable dent in an election outcome, you need to convince thousands of people to vote for you, and not turn you in, despite the 100k reward. There is zero chance of that ever succeeding.
That's an excellent point, I hadn't thought of that.
Alternatively there could be a law that countries that import plastic shit have a plan for dealing with it before they import it.
> “Your Friday Briefing,” the header ran: “Here’s what you need to know to start your day.”

There's the problem right at the top of the article: the news sites want your attention, and they want it often. How much is really so important that you need to know it right away? They're going to put n items in that message whether there were n important developments or not.

That's one of the good functions of weeklies like The Economist: they are a low pass filter. There used to be a saying that "there's nothing as useless as yesterday's paper". The first time I heard it I immediately thought, "well, then was it really that important yesterday either?
Cable modems actually never allow you to change the MAC address. You're thinking of consumer routers which commonly allowed cloning a MAC because old internet services would hardcode a single MAC address per account in order to prevent customers from just grabbing 10 public IP addresses each.

Just about every single DOCSIS network still in existence uses BPI+ to encrypt the traffic to each customer to make sure that you can't just sniff traffic for the entire neighborhood and steal service. BPI+ has a certificate that is minted and signed at the factory with the device's MAC address in it. If you tried to change the MAC address, even if you had root, you wouldn't have a valid certificate so the modem would never get a connection.
Nicotine != tobacco and is not a known carcinogen. Hence, this is now a moralistic conversation as we are now talking about a drug with health effects similar to caffeine (forbidden by Mormons for example)

Of course the Bay Area is actually diverse. But I’m skeptical that tech companies actually care about these communities. They care about close proximity to a large population of engineers.
I think we should change that scenario a bit.

If China was our major supplier for Aircraft with a good record for reliability, but their latest model went down twice in six months in similar circumstances, would we ground that model?

Perhaps. I don't know, but I don't think your comparison is the correct one.
I'm no music expert, but as someone who has tried and failed to straighten out numerous metal objects, I can definitely appreciate this detailed guide.
Anecdotal, but among my friends roll your own was very popular.

It’s cheaper. The end result generally contains less tobacco than the pre-rolled, so go guess it goes further. And people often say “it doesn’t have all the chemicals that the pre-rolled ones have”, which is justified off the basis that pre-rolled cigarettes will finish themselves if left on a table, but a roll your own will go out. (I don’t smoke, so I’ve never bothered to look into it).

Additionally, mixing tobacco and marijuana is more common in Australia. Roll your owns go hand in hand.
Yikes. This is a really good one.

React 16.8 introduced a new concept of hooks, "useEffect" being a built in one. Hooks are extremely useful for streamlining and reusing React component code. "useEffect" in particular can supplant the "componentDidMount" method which among other things is common for fetching data into a component. There are some gotchas to be aware of when using "useEffect" and this article is explaining them.

Arrogance? I saw no such thing. Maybe jealousy about his attitude to projects.

I introduced a friend of mine to programming. He picked up pyret and released a cool little game with it. Instead of the community encouraging him, they shit on his code. Called it ugly, and pointed out a lot of nothings.

Consequently, the dude quit programming. He now considers it something the smart ones do. He agrees with me when I say those haters don't matter. But, the spark's dead.

I'm not saying we shouldn't give feedback. But feedback is different from nagging, complaints and bullying. A good way to give feedback correctly is the sandwich method.

Maybe it's politically motivated, but IMO so is the FAA's certification and nonaction so far. Boeing promised a software fix by January, and the FAA's decision not to ground the fleet was probably informally based on that promise. Unfortunately the software fix is proving more difficult than anticipated. Regulated, safety-critical software, whose failure leads to a smoking crater full of bodies can be like that. Especially in this case where it's not going to be just a bugfix, but probably a major redesign of the concept of the MCAS.

Ultimately though there are over 5000 orders for the 737MAX. The list price is $121 million. That makes the total value of the order book $600 Billion at list prices. That's roughly the market cap of Google or Apple, and the 737MAX is extremely important to the U.S. balance of trade. There is obviously going to be a political component to any big regulatory action on it.

The FAA needs to make a major course correction here, because what's even more important long-term than a single, very popular airplane to the U.S. economy is FAA's credibility as a regulator. In most countries, FAA certification means rubber-stamp certification from the local authority. As long as it is, it's a huge advantage to the U.S. aviation industry, because the FAA can write regs that are favorable to U.S. interests. This is only true though as long as the FAA is seen to have integrity.

In this case, when it comes to that, by my reading (and I'm not a lawyer or an expert), the MCAS is in violation of FAR part 25.672, and the 737MAX is not airworthy.
Fair. I suppose my sample set is those who have moved away from there to the valley, so it’s self-selecting, but it was my experience as well.

That's not true. Many states explicitly protect your primary homestead. For those 65 & older they may reduce or even freeze property taxes. Usually the city/county can't evict you for unpaid property taxes either.

Which is one reason why it can seem hostile to some people when the reaction to online anti-Christmas dickery makes it's way onto the walls of a real life restaurant.

They've never experienced said online dickery themselves, so they don't understand the context. If they happen to be the kind of person who says happy holidays, it can feel like an attack on them instead of a response to someone else.

Similarly if you walk into a restaurant and the owner has posters on the wall that all say things like "You'll never make me eat meat.", it might come across as a little hostile to you as a carnivore. Despite the fact that it's a reaction against some online troll, not you.

Also I'm absolutely certain that the reaction against the "War on Christmas" is 10,000 times larger than the actual "War on Christmas."

I had a relative tell me how nice it was to finally be able to say Merry Christmas again the Christmas after Trump was elected. Seriously? Who was stopping you? Obama said it every single year in an official White House Christmas greeting video.
>Reframing the debate in moralistic terms is not useful here. It's a public health issue, plain and simple.

Of course it is a moral debate. Sure its not healthy, but shouldnt people be allowed to use it regardless if they decide to do so? It only becomes a public health issue once people who dont smoke are effected, which is why we got bans to smoke in certain places and not a ban on smoking in general.

For what is worth, the only places I've seen this entire "merry christmas" thing being a problem has been as a backlash against corporations trying to look more inclusive by saying happy holidays in a period where there are multiple holidays being celebrated by multiple religions, but might just be my own filter bubble.

First as a little update it turns out they did try to provide English language coverage of the protests, so much as possible [0].

As for your question, I think that's clearly a false dichotomy. I do think the issue of propaganda is important, especially in today's times. So let's consider an incident. Some weeks ago you probably read about Maduro's government, in Venezuela, setting one of the US aid trucks on fire. This was covered extensively. CNN stated that "a CNN team saw incendiary devices from police on the Venezuelan side of the border ignite the trucks" [1] while describing the images of the trucks as sickening and repeating numerous calls for stronger action as a result of such things. If that page should change in the near future, the internet archive [2] is your friend. This was repeated by most other media sources as well.

The problem is that it was a lie. The aid truck was undoubtedly set on fire by anti-government forces. This is now being covered by the NYTimes [3] citing "unpublished video" and dutifully pondering 'how we got here'. The Intercept has also done a phenomenal piece on this event, here - showing how it was played out as propaganda and the entities that pushed it hardest. [4] Of course I haven't mentioned RT once yet, so what gives? This [5] gives. That's an article from RT. What you might notice is that they have an embedded video, literally the "unpublished video" from the NYTimes demonstrating that it was an anti-government protester setting the truck on fire. And it was published weeks ago, as soon as the information came to light while most western media continued to simply beat the war drums.

-------------

This is also not an isolated incident. I point this out not to claim that RT is amazing. If the roles were reversed and it was a very serious event such as Russia trying to foment a coup in another nation, I certainly would not expect RT to run timely articles indicating that actions being used as propaganda were, in fact, not the fault of the targeted government. You're not going to find any single source that provides "good, objective coverage" when it comes to issues that align with, or run against, their interests. So I find it important to expose yourself to a wide array of media and particularly to sources that are more like to challenge your viewpoints than affirm them. Nietzche might not approve, but in the end we're surrounded by nothing but abysses.

The cause of this crash hasn't been determined, some witnesses described seeing flames before the plane hit the ground, so it's entirely possible that a cargo hold fire took the plane down.

the black box should be relatively easy to find (assuming it survived), so investigators should have a better idea about the cause soon.
This. Oh my god, this. While there definitely is a time and place for video tutorials, the modern internet seems to assume that its ‘always’ and ‘everywhere’. I keep hoping that it’s a fad that will pass.
I'm skeptical of any model that throws up its hands and says "this is so for a number of reasons I guess". Multifactor trends are unlikely [1], bad at explanation and prediction, and easy to fit to anything. It's better to admit you don't know than say it's a combination of N things.

Remember, most things are hard to explain until you know the truth. That doesn't mean the truth is super complicated.

From the video, this looks like it mostly uses sidewalks rather than streets to get around. While I doubt that causes much problem given that there is only one of these, I worry that if this sort of thing catches on, the sidewalks will be filled with Google and Amazon robots ferrying packages and pedestrians will lose the space.
Agree, despite what many people say (and the fact that it could always be better), the US and the west are some of the most welcoming and friendly places in the world
I should add that the valley doesn’t have much of an appetite for bullshitters either, despite what the media would have you believe. Mistakes happen, because there’s a lot more money here, but by and large bullshitters do not get helped or funded.
