> Yes, crossing the border illegally is a crime. Criminals are detained. If you get arrested for a minor crime as an American citizen, you are also detained and separated from your family.

Right. So you think that a child should suffer the trauma of being in an unknown place without their parents just because they dared to try to cross the border, (without committing any other crime). Ok.

However I am sure you're able to see that i.e meddling in Venezuela as the Trump administration is doing is illegal, immoral and WILL produce more migrants. You can't have a policy that is very likely to result in more US-bound migrants, while at the same time being strongly for 'protecting borders'. Certainly not while maintaining any semblance of moral high-ground or legitimacy.

Don’t do that. Just wipe it and restore it properly. “Faking” the welcome screen first of all means your data is accessible if they do decide to look closer. And secondly it’ll probably lead to some additional questions meaning that more of your time is wasted at the airport.
I have the same question for things such as

If I do a psql --help I see

Connection options:
-W, --password force password prompt (should happen automatically)

The Last Kingdom on Netflix is a pretty decent series about this time. Sort of a non fantasy version of Game of Thrones. I think there are probably a fair bit of historical inaccuracies in there but nevertheless a fascinating time and decent series. I ended up reading up on wikipedia about several of the characters (at least the non fictional ones).

When has AWS had a "major issue" that affected multiple regions (not AZs)?
Anything similar for MySQL?
Agreed! The ORM I'm currently using has been setting text for all my `string` columns by default and I was feeling the need to go fix a few, so this is one of those magical times when procrastinating on an issue paid off in my favour.

On that note though, I wonder what impact (if any) this has on an index covering the column? I could be off here but from my mysql days I was under the impression the index would be more efficient if there was a length limit on the column.
Could it be that it's a case of multiple APK? Perhaps different CPU architecture? In any case I would check the value of versionCode first (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest...).

> While on the one hand you're claiming to only refer to the hypothetical question of a black leader who is anti-white, you also specifically defend Farrakhan's presence on social media, and question whether Facebook should be able to ban specifically him for his anti-Semitism; for example:

I'm not "defending" anything--I'm simply stating that it's a complicated issue, while you're denying that there is any complexity. And I don't think we really disagree on much. As you state, you might be against banning him if it was just his anti-white rhetoric. My point simply is that, whatever complexity might exist in that hypothetical does not go away just because there is an alternate, easier basis for banning him. Especially given that, many black people themselves have confronted those issues and have been willing to hear him out for his other messages: http://www.cnn.com/US/9510/megamarch/10-14/march/index.html

In theory, yes, though the performance is not such that you'd want to run complex algorithms on large datasets.

> Installing software "manually everywhere you want to use it" implies installing it once in 99% of cases, maybe twice in most of the rest, where "install" is a trivial process

It's not trivial at all compared to "click this link (and optionally sign up) to start using the software". Especially with the landscape now, asking a likely non-technical user to download, install (potentially with security warnings) and launch software is a lot to ask and will impact your conversions if you're not an established product.

we had similar problems in ireland with taxi's but this was solved not by uber but by deregulation.

Under this we got thousands more taxi's who are all registered and have public liability insurance.

Under Irish law you have to have a taxi or hackny license in order to transport anyone so it is illegal for uber to operate here, but with the selection of other apps like lync with work quite well in our regulatory enviroment this has been a great result!

It's an interesting situation because Channel 4 are also classed as a public broadcaster and do benefit from some (albeit small) percentage of license revenue.
How?

Say the BBC made a great series in 1978 and paid the composer of the music for enough rights to air it in the UK, but not for media which were not yet invented at the time. The composer is now dead, the heirs moved to NZ and Italy, the will (written in 1982) doesn't make quite clear which heir inherited the internet rights, and none of the heirs really care to pay lawyers for the sake of a £500-1500 sale. How do you propose to arrange acquisition of the rights?

This isn't even very farfetched. A lot of old contracts were written without consideration of the streaming possibilities that eventually ensued. BTDT.
The EU is so frustratingly inconsistent on internet-freedom matters. On the one hand there's a tendency towards very strong privacy protections through the GDPR and similar legislation/regulations. And on the other there's blatant publisher-protectionist insanity like Article 13. It's a mess.

> So they're counting money granted by a wealthy donor as profit. And without that, they would still be losing money.

I actually read that as "we are part of a trust that gives 25-30m, and if we didn't need to give these payments we'd be making a profit".

Or simply put: No, they are not counting recieving money, they're actually excluding giving money.
That has no impact on the matter. American citizens who are arrested (regardless of civil or criminal cases) are detained.

This administration is enforcing laws that have already been there. They also reprioritized families with children. Perhaps these pieces should explore just how many of these children are actually related to the group of adults they enter with. Detainment procedures are not as simple as you think. How is software that improves case processing time not a good thing in this situation?

How can you know how many illegal immigrants are here? If you know where they are then they would be detained. They are not taking census. These are basically guesses, as stated right in that article.

My company is working on a project to move a customer web portal to Azure.

Yes, I allowed background running in the power saving settings - this helps in the short term.

But the problem seems to be in the server; after restarting the computer or the phone, the connection between folders seems to be lost - it doesn't "see" the remote folder anymore, even if its ID has not changed.

To be fair, this doesn't happen with Syncthing only. Other tools like Nitroshare or Dukto are also hit or miss when trying to connect from the phone.

> Whilst there have always been loony left, misandrist etc. articles in the Guardian

Speaking as someone on the left in the UK, I can assure you the Guardian has been more and more centrist as time goes on. I think the confusion is that they do in fact publish loony articles sometimes on social issues, because guess what? That's easy to do without really addressing any economic problems.

On the economic front they're as centrist as they get, regularly attacking the likes of Corbyn in ways that the Sun is starting to envy, smearing Assange once they're done profiting off him, printing puff pieces for the Saudi Crown Prince etc. The Guardian is no darling of the (grassroots) left, I can assure you.

there is LITERALLY no way for them to tell that i've done anything to the data without carefully analyzing the partition(which they wouldn't know existed because i'm using boot level encryption). obviously if i had REALLY sensitive data i wouldn't carry it with me and just get it from "cloud of choice" but this is just a case of privacy(i don't want them looking at my private texts/photos/notes/media collection). And they won't.
> varchar (without the (n)) or text are similar, but without the length limit. If you insert the same string into the three field types they will take up exactly the same amount of space, and you won't be able to measure any difference in performance.

The large labelled island at the very top is Taprobane, the name by which the ancient Greeks knew Sri Lanka. It was believed to be as large as Great Britain.

Lots of people say that. I imagine the BBC use data from things like https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/archive/ to demonstrate that most people are not viewing the archive content that is available already, so people's claims that they'd pay are not backed up by evidence.
In the UK everyone has a tax code that tells your employer how much tax you're paying. It doesn't tell the employer why you have that number, which could be for lots of reasons - eg. over / under paid in the past, working two jobs, etc.

The problem is to achieve acceptable quality of service for an online cloud OS service with all the responsive UIs and expected reliability, everything has to be done locally-first either way, using approaches like CRDTs. And even more so for Google, because their level of service quality delivered over public internet is nowhere near acceptable for an OS and will never be. But, of course, they can still offer locally-first OS as a service, not giving users any control.

I was looking at their Wikipedia page and I noticed they supported internment in Northern Ireland during the early phase of the Troubles - that's hardly challenging the establishment.

The problem with asbestos wasn’t really the toxicity per se, it’s that the companies using it hid the toxicity to avoid having to do all the expensive safety steps that would let them use asbestos without killing people. We can avoid this with carbon nanotubes and similar if we’re honest about the risks and careful with how we handle them.
>Especially with the landscape now, asking a likely non-technical user to download, install and launch software is a lot to ask and will impact your conversions if you're not an established product.

With the landscape now, installing and launching software involves clicking on it in the app store and waiting a few seconds for the installer to finish.

With the previous landscape, installing and launching software involved, for Windows, downloading an installer, double clicking on it, maybe going through some default settings, and waiting for installer to finish. For Linux, instead of downloading an installer, you pull it with a package manager, maybe go through some default settings, and maybe wait for the installer to finish.

It was never that complicated unless you were compiling all of your software from source, but that's an extreme fringe minority in the whole universe of software consumers.

The process of "installation" in the SAAS model is merely replaced with registration. Instead of downloading the program, you're uploading your credentials. The complexity is still there, because it has to be, but it was never that difficult for the end user to begin with. And the process of registering for a site is, arguably, more complicated than native software in many cases. I don't have to deal with individual passwords for each of my native apps, for instance.

The documentation even states:

> This option is never essential, since psql will automatically prompt for a password if the server demands password authentication. However, psql will waste a connection attempt finding out that the server wants a password. In some cases it is worth typing -W to avoid the extra connection attempt.

So this is definitely confusing.

What they probably mean is that you shouldn't do something like --password=mypassword, which will work but is obviously dangerous to do.

That’s actually a point that AWS tried to hit on during their last re:Invent conference. When their competitors say multiple availability zones, read the fine print, and you’ll see that it is far from being as resilient as AWS. Sometimes other cloud providers have even located the two AZs in the same building....

AWS AZs on the other hand are always geographically separated, and they even take into consideration the landscape to see if they need to be further away (earthquakes etc).

It’s staggering how much of a lead AWS has on others when in comes to their AZs and global network infrastructure.
