Sure, but how much of that is down to the socialist things i listed, and how much is down to Wall street? Even if you believe mostly the latter; The success of the financial services of Wall St and private enterprise in the US is a direct result of socialist policies. Can you imagine any of this success without socialist schools? can you imagine any rule of law with a private police force?

If a country is too far socialist or too far capitalist, the result is the same; the few gaining great power and privilege, while the many are powerless and suffering in poverty. Its obvious that a balance is needed, socialism can be very good at leveling the playing field for basic necessities, while regulated capitalism can be good at distributing power hierarchies while remaining fairly efficient.

The problem i see us facing right now is that capitalism has had a lobby on political power for fifty years and is preventing this balance, substituting its own power-wealth hungry pseudo-balance. This is why we have difficulty dealing with climate change, and why places like the US are struggling with a universal health system, or why the UK is dismantling theirs.

This reminds me of the city from Blame! manga. Ever-growing megastructure without any thought. Without any external control, just expanding. Something that began on Earth and now is becoming a Dyson sphere.

Even though there are specific people that profit from current economy, will they profit forever if things will proceed as they are?

As far as I can tell, there is no gold standard for text brokering, including TextBroker.com, but start with Textbroker Alternatives and you'll see lots, and plenty of reviews to find something you like.

After that, get old school and check out the Writer's Market Guide 2019 (or anything from the last couple of years). Keep in mind, all the magazines and industry publications out there need a ton of content every month. What are YOUR favorite places to read? Heck, it can be poetry, fiction, DIY, anything.

Timeline, word count, style, pay and all the other tidbits are almost always agreed upon prior to your efforts. Unless you want to pitch a story. Which can be super fun! And these can be blogs, industry rags, magazines, newspapers, and so on.

To what end? It was 30 years ago. The Eight Elders are all dead. You really think a bunch of westerners tutting at China about lowlights in their history will do anything other than galvanize Chinese nationalism?
This is extremely important. There are three elements here.

1) The actual incident.

2) The need for instructors to persuade DataCamp to make a response.

3) The response itself. (3a: the noindex tag)

#1 is very bad on its own, but #2 and #3 are its own problems and the ones being highlighted in recent discussions. (and provide more context for #1)
You look at historical trends, not a single point in time.

It's not historically Myspace was the social network, it's historically social networks are displaced by others, of which Facebook is only the latest incarnation. And the future of Facebook is Myspace, ideally sooner rather than later, but eventually one way or another.

If every time something has happened before it has had the same result, trying it again and expecting something else is not a plan that inspires confidence.

And, that's an odd dig at life in Soviet Russia. It certainly was not the worst way of life -- I've known quite a few people living in all parts of the world who grew up in the Soviet system and longed for it, wishing for a return to that way of life while knowing it'd never happen.

You're shot for refusing orders. In a war situation no one is going to bother recording this. You'll either get a letter home that you were a deserter and died dishonourably, so your widow and kids won't even get a pension, or you'll be lucky and the commander sends back a letter that you were killed in the line of duty or from injury/disease.

One way or the other, there will be few situations where such refusal is possible, much less written down.
Crux – open-source answer to Datomic
I think thats a bad cliche.

If I break down my spending, most goes on food (I have no rent/mortgage), the next biggest item are essentials like utilities/council tax/bills, then car bills (insurance, petrol, repairs), then the kids then personal luxuries for me and my wife.

Marketers might shape how I spend my food budget (ie on which brands/products) but I still need food. Marketers influenced my choice of car, but I still need a car with certain qualities (big, room for kids and bikes, reliable). If I had to pay rent, a vast portion of my income would go on that - how is this being influenced by marketers?

If PR/advertising/marketing became illegal tomorrow, people would still continue to spend most of their income on a place to live, food to eat, utilities, a car and their kids education.
That mainly seems to happen at the large scale. At the small, community scale, there are plenty of examples of communal societies with many decades of history that continue as an ongoing concern. For example, the Bruderhof's in New York and Pennsylvania:

For selling, you'll want to have starts, from seeds. Peppers, cucumbers and so on. Organic is usually far easier to sprout - especially if they haven't been radiated or whatever they do to things to keep them "fresh".

For eating, it's fun to toss scraps like lettuce feet, scallion spiders, and ginger thumbs and eventually (almost) never buy them again. Potatoes are fun since they grow so fast and just a bucket by the window is enough.

Of course, a trip to a local farmers market and you'll have an even better starting stock.

Farm it!

> Containers are meant to be stateless infrastructure. By downloading something at startup, you're breaking that contract implicitly.

I feel that mounting a NFS partition is a similar break of contract. I.e. you could see the same image behave differently depending on what's in the NFS partition. I feel like to get data in a "reproducible" way you need to pull it from a data versioning system. I think there's different ways to implement data versioning with their own trade-offs. NFS and S3, among others, could be used to implement data versioning.

I agree with you that in theory an NFS is more performant because it allows you to load lazily.

The Chinese are innovating totalitarianism faster than any other country. Take this, for example:

> ... When undergraduate students at Peking University, which was at the center of the incident, were shown copies of the iconic photograph [of Tank Man] 16 years afterwards, they were "genuinely mystified." One of the students said that the image was "artwork." It is noted in the documentary Frontline: The Tank Man that he whispered to the student next to him "89," which led the interviewer to surmise that the student may have concealed his knowledge of the event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man

The fact that Leica, a foreign company, is now apologizing about the ad (and has deleted it from their YouTube account) shows just how effective the Chinese government has become at their trade. From the article:

> “Leica Camera AG must, therefore, distance itself from the content shown in the video and regrets any misunderstandings or false conclusions that may have been drawn,” Emily Anderson, a spokesperson for Leica, told SCMP.
I have a dataset management mechanism (delete, copy, duplicate, etc.) where dataset attributes are tagged as PII (personally identifiable information), and where generic filters are then applied to obfuscate PII for datasets that'll be used by non-privileged users, e.g., data science.

It's like typing. After you do it enough times you don't really need to look because it's locked in as muscle memory.

So in this case, you'd probably want to use 1 tablet a day for maybe 10 days in a row or keep using the tablets until you can consistently see you're getting good coverage. Then after you've done it a few days in a row with good coverage you know what it feels like and you're good to go.

The package comes with over 200 tablets so you'll have plenty of practice opportunities.

It sounds a lot like the mob has decided someone needs to get fired. Despite not knowing the specific details and despite a third party investigation concluding that reprimands and sensitivity training was sufficient.

I don’t know what “inappropriate contact” was, in this instance, but for all I know it could have been an executive doing a dance and twirling around a secretary. After which she reported that she didn’t like that.

Is that inappropriate? Yes. Should you get fired from your position because of it? No. You sit down as adults and talk it out. Of cause the mob could also be right and he might have jumped on a woman doing a lab dance and attempted to rape her. But I’d expect the third party investigation to make judgement on that which it seems they did, but he mob isn’t satisfied because the third party didn’t reach their foregone conclusion.

I wonder what the victim has to say? Has anything been shared? Or first party accounts on the incident? Or is all the coverage just vague indirect references to something no-one reporting was actually involved in?
It attempts to solve the problem of managing elastic container infrastructure, in which everything is changing all the time.

The industry is in a big transition. First we ran VMs in datacenters, then we ran them in cloud providers. Then we started running containers and realized that their ephemeral nature made it possible to treat deployment like code, and Kubernetes is now the standard for doing that.

So, Kubernetes gives us easy abstractions for deployment. But having lots of little ephemeral containers that are constantly changing creates problems of security and visibility and routing. Service mesh is an attempt to solve that problem.

I would point out that Kubernetes has become an industry standard at this point. A few years ago it was reasonable to think Mesos would become a standard, or that multiple solutions would coexist. In fact, Kubernetes has destroyed its competition and Mesos is basically dead. It would currently be insane to adopt one of Kubernetes's competitors or try to roll your own.

If your organization standardized on Mesos a few years ago, you probably regret that decision today, and you are probably forced to plan a transition to Kubernetes.

The service mesh market is very immature at the moment, and the barrier to entry is still low. Witness the recent arrival of AWS App Mesh, which is probably going to do quite well. I would be very wary of committing to a particular mesh until the dust settles a bit and we see a clear winner. Otherwise you run the risk of choosing the Mesos of the mesh world.
Can DataCamp fire instructors, though? My understanding was that DataCamp instructors signed a contract allowing DataCamp to use their material for a given span of time (and that this did not make them DataCamp employees)

Since these people are asking others not to watch DataCamp courses, it would seem to me that their shot at actually making more courses for DataCamp has been forfeit anyway, so what can DataCamp really do against them?

This is not a very compelling argument - "They're different from us, therefore we are not in a position to comment." There is a tremendous understanding, analysis and comprehension of totalitarianism in the west. Even in popular culture, say 1984 by George Orwell.
I'm curious. Did you take my post as pro capitalism? Or pro status quo? And out of curiosity, what exactly was it that pointed to that conclusion? It really wasn't my intention, is all and that's why I'm curious and you seem pretty bent out of shape, or am I misreading the, "But, gee, that's fine because those people earned that money...nevermind that's it's economically ineffective."

I use a MacBook Pro as remote terminal to a Linux VM with mosh and iTerm2. In the VM I run tmux, and emacs runs in one of the windows. (Other windows run shell sessions in the Linux VM, the Linux server the VM runs on, and the MacBook Pro, respectively.)

For email I have used VM (<http://www.nongnu.org/viewmail/>) for 24 years. It does a great job of rendering HTML mail in a text console. When I choose a URL (whether HTML or in plaintext), Emacs sends the URL to the Mac's browser over ssh.
Is the original offense not relevant, though? I mean, how many of the people crying foul on DataCamp's treatment of the issue actually _know_ the details of what happened and how many are just forming a pitchfork mob anyway without proper information?

How is it possible to determine whether DC's response was adequate or not without knowing what happened?
I know a guy who runs a multi-million dollar business making replacement parts for a particular type of business machine that you find in a lot of places. There are only a few OEMs and they all stopped making a similar (critical) component for their older models.

He was originally in the business of repairing these machines and then discovered he could no longer buy these parts from the OEMs so he learned CAD and CNC and injection molding and started making them a few years ago. He has a 3D printer for prototyping, but he needs to injection mold part of the final product because there is no filament in the particular material that he needs. His business has transitioned from repair to manufacturing and now he mostly sells replacement parts to other repair shops.

I don't want to disturb his business by talking about it in detail, but the point is that I think there are and will be many opportunities around repair parts that manufacturers are unwilling to provide because they'd rather be selling new machines. Aside from the environmental impact, that's fine since there are many people who won't go the repair route, and then there's a secondary market for those who will make parts and repair the machines.
That's a good point. What would it even look like if there was an official, authoritative list of things to be censored, with draconian enforcement? Xi Jinping isn't going to personally decide what goes on the list. He's certainly not going to personally adjudicate the myriad edge cases. Inevitably the system must devolve into a lot of individuals making conflicting decisions.

I see no way to have a cohesive, official censorship apparatus with centralized control, unless the method employed simply involves cutting cables. That would be pretty unambiguous.

For eBooks you can write it in any editor you want - word, pages, it doesn't really matter. Then just export to ePub and you're done.

For my published books I want ultimate control over the layout, so I write them in LaTeX to get the pdf to go to the printer. To get it into an eBook I use pandoc to convert them. I wrote a script that does it for me, and massages the resulting ePub until it's exactly what I want.

My published books is about 70,000 words. Writing it didn't actually take very long (a few hundred hours I guess), but then I probably spent at least that much time again editing and revising multiple draft rounds.
In Adults outside a courtroom, mental health treatment focuses on easing distress because the person seeking out treatment is the patient.

Parenting is stressful and imposes a powerful incentive to reduce that stress. Consequently, too often in children, mental health treatment focuses on controlling behaviors because the person seeking treatment is the parent.

The first is a person seeking greater agency for themselves over a problem. The latter is a denial of agency of the child. I’m hearing you express your pain at having your agency suppressed and expressing skepticism at the tools used to suppress your agency.

But those same tools also grant some adults an agency they are desperately drowningly seeking for themselves.
That sounds more doable than current legislation that would cost more money than exist in the entire world.
>This was in 1899, not 10,000 years ago

The first people were in 1899? Or just the "second" people came in 1899?

Part of my argument is that you can't be a "first" person in 1899, because the first people arrived thousands of years before.

Even the first subject is only partly decedents of the "first" peoples.

So if we are going to go down these lines of people get rights, or special treatment based off being indigenous, what are we really looking at? There are have been 1000s of years of intermingling both known and unknown, a "people" are not a static group, people are changing all the time.

Shitty was not the word I wanted to use but I was in a time crunch, callus is more how I feel on the subject.
Don’t know why this is being downvoted. To someone who witnessed the transition from forced “socialism” to brutal capitalism in Russia it makes total sense.

The original offense is not the subject of this post. Attempting to make it the subject of discussion is a derail. HN is not here to pass judgement on whether a specific person’s accusation of personal misconduct is or is not valid. HN is here to pass judgement on whether a organization in our industry responded with an appropriate process when an accusation was made.

Based on the “noindex”, I would say that they are not following an acceptable process, no matter the veracity or lack thereof in the accusations levied.

If I were to discuss the specific accusations in an attempt to pass judgement on their veracity, I would expect to be flagged and eventually warned or banned by the mods.
