That isn't Redhat's model.

Well... it hasn't been so far. But this isn't the old Red Hat anymore. This is IBM Hat. And for all the talk about keeping Red Hat mostly independent or whatever, I think we all know that's bullshit. Acquiring companies always give that little dog and pony show, and it never holds up in the long-term. There's no way that IBM culture won't wind up infecting Red Hat. Now whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a question I'll leave to the philosophers. But I'd be very leery of assuming anything regarding what RH will or won't do going forward.
We already decide how much you can keep. It's called taxes. Everyone pays them. Taxing extreme opulence never seen on the planet is quite a bit away from sending people to the gulag don't see what one has to do with the other. However the French did chop of the heads of all their royalty at one point, so there is that... if you want to argue for that route... it's up to you -- that's also a 300 year old possibility, just like the US constitution is a 240 year old possibility. But not really what I am getting at. And all this private property non-sense mythology is bullshit considering all the other factors at play, theft, imperialism, colonization -- the list goes on. All these broke embarrassed billionaires coming to defense of the wealthy is quite amusing while the wealthy themselves are arguing for being taxed more.

All money is debt. Why society should owe billions to these individuals is beyond me considering they themselves used all of the society's resources to produce it... and obviously don't need society to be in that level of debt to them... as what is the society going to gain out of that indebtedness. It's not as if they actually want anything from society that they could not have with far less. However, there are millions of other who would benefit from that debt as they could use it to get others to produce things that they need and make themselves better off as well as make society as a whole better off with creation of jobs to provide those goods and services.

The "master negotiator" strikes again.
this is short-sighted. Terraform and CloudFormation are not even in the same league. One of them works and actually can be used for Infrastructure as Code, the other one does not roll back in the face of failure - it effectively craps for reasons ranging from network failure, process crash, even normal operation.
One is heavy kool-aid with bugs that go unresolved for years, the other behaves as advertised.

Sorry, but I have yet to meet a developer that used Terraform and willingly wants to keep using it after seeing it fail. When your tool cannot keep track of the resources it created or when it gets into situations where it doesn’t allow you to do certain things (like deleting all resources created) and you have to relearn how the underlying cloud works, it’s time to move on.

Do yourselves a favor and use Cloudformation (or your favorite cloud’s equivalent and just move on with your life)

I mean, the real thing is that nearly every sitcom is full of these things that apparently won't fly according to the post I was replying to. They're literally the background noise of network evening TV. Chuck Lorre's other big contemporary show is no better on these fronts and isn't about making fun of nerds.

So they're not actually things that are unacceptable. They're just so normal people don't even notice them until they're aimed at a trait they identify with.
Having seen the trash coming down several of these rivers in person, everything I could identify seemed to be of local origin. I certainly didn't see non-local languages written on plastic bottles, for example.

In multiculturalism, immigrants form enclaves that are durable and do not readily assimilate. That's not generally what happens in the US -- even second generation immigrant children speak English as a first language and are largely Americanized.
There's plenty of precedent for this sort of thing in the West's industrial past. Being a fast-growing economy and also keeping a strict eye on product purity, has it ever successfully been done before?

The decision to do this was made before June 2018, 18 months after the last activity. One of the reasons cited was lack of activity, but that is no thanks to them, I guess.

That is why I am convinced the goal was to replace it from the onset, there was no interest in helping out the project. In fact "no activity" was the right excuse to make their action seem legitimate. Attempting to contact the project could have jeopardized that plan.

They could have just removed "dstat" from the distribution, and added a note that users can now use pcp-dstat. But now they made it impossible for users to add the original dstat. Let alone the support nightmare of having a different tool with the same name. There's no winning this one.

The use case is some sort of emergency that the driver may not have seen.

SF's Muni is in the process of onboarding new trams from Siemens. Someone recently stuck their hand in the doors as they were closing. On pretty much any newish tram or subway vehicle this will cause the doors to open again. It's shitty behavior, but that's what people do. Typically trams in the United States have door interlocks such that if the doors are open the vehicle doesn't move. The new Siemens cars apparently don't have well calibrated pinch sensors and the damn thing took off with some idiot woman stuck in the doors, dragging her down the platform.

I've had similar experiences with the older ones (where the drivers would deliberately disable the interlocks — this was before they put tamper evident bits on the override switch). The driver closed the doors as I was boarding. Without looking at his/her mirrors the driver took off as I had one foot on the street and one on the vehicle.

Same deal with people who've fallen onto the tracks.

I sympathize with the general desire to preserve a sense of cultural identity, but ultimately any attempt to keep a society static through time will slip through your fingers. No exceptions.

At some point, especially at the pace the modern world is changing, we need to ask ourselves how much better off we'd be if we stopped putting so much meaning into an idea that's ultimately just a nice momentary illusion at best.

You're reasonable to assume so - after the news that Google was scaling back that team, there was rampant speculation and deafening silence from Google. They really ought to say something. I actually avoided buying a Pixelbook that same day despite a pressing need for that very reason.
You're judging a whole person over a single uttered word. Thankfully normal people don't operate at that insane level. My son's elementary school friends are not racist. Rappers are not racist. The latinos in my miami neighborhood are not racist. Twitter has given loons a public platform to spew their garbage and websites encourage it because outrage sells. Enjoy your 2 minutes of hate.
Modern subways have interlocks preventing motion while the doors are open, and preventing the doors from opening while the train is in motion.

Yeah, until the drivers decide that the doors are so unreliable that it's faster to override the interlocks and hope nobody's caught in the doors (which will eventually reset themselves and close properly).

I don't think humans will have much trouble adapting. Cities will move to accommodate the rising sea, we will move on to other food sources as the need arises, and life for us will go on.

It's the other species – the ones that had no hand in this – that I worry and feel regret about.
I have this constant feeling that life on Planet Earth circa year 2000 or so onwards is playing out kind of like a bizarre imitation of the old movie Lord of the Flies. To me, it feels like everyone is absolutely batshit insane. Everyone (well, mostly) is so sure of themselves, so sure of what is right and wrong. As if life is so simple.

It seems to me that the rate of scientific progress has vastly outpaced that of the humanities (or, whatever is the appropriate "balancing" field to science) for so long that humans have become a danger to ourselves, for a very long time now, on several different fronts. We are simply not mature and responsible enough to be wielding this much power, yet here we are. And there's very little reason to feel very optimistic, that I see anyways.

This absolutely _isn't_ normal. I don't routinely carry ID, and never have done. The only place I can think of that did this was one nightclub near my university, but the upshot was we just didn't go to that nightclub often.
I'm not only conflicted. I'm annoyed.

Immigration is being sold as a solution to aging and shrinking population. While opening to immigrants certainly helps solving the shrinking workfoce problem, it is nothing more than a duct tape over what is happening: people no longer want to have kids.

After it's been long enough that immigrants are not even called this anymore, if we discover that young workforce is still shrinking because people are still not having enough kids, what excuses we're going to use?

I can agree that immigration is nice and all—hell, immigrants helped to build my country, Japanese included. But, can we search for solutions to the real problem? What can we do, to help people doing things humans are supposed to do? To have children, to have a family, to be healthy, worldwide.
Windowing will change in iOS13. Hopefully demos will appear at WWDC in a few weeks.
I have a Pixelbook too, and agree it is a really great tablet and laptop. I love that it runs Debian Linux in a container, along with Android apps too. The security model keeps random Android apps from messing with my shell, and X11 apps from Linux run nicely (installed by apt get, or ones I've developed for myself). I can also charge it from the 12V cigarette plug in my car.

Whenever it becomes time to upgrade or replace it, I'll be disappointed if it's been discontinued.
Just another purely racist move on the part of this administration.

One thing about a powerful laser is that it scatters off of dust particles and anything else in the air, including the air itself (Rayleigh scattering). As a result it should produce a faint line in the air that points back to the source.
> it's wrong to think in terms of "countries" because country boundaries are arbitrary

Policies and social behaviors (enforced by nations or voluntary) are not. People cause the pollution we're talking about, so we have to deal with them as they are.

> What matters is the number of people multiplied by the amount they emit.

Pointing to per capita rather than aggregate is a deflection. Either the environment is in practical danger and we need to reduce total aggregate emissions, or we need to do that AND need to mildly reduce emissions through personal responsibility (virtue signaling) leading to "eventual good" by habit forming. Either way the aggregate matters most, per capita least.

I believe that the situation will come down to a trade war before a physical war, which still involves nations and absolute measures. Once those measures are involved, then per capita will become a factor internally (to the nations involved). Convince me otherwise. I will not reply, but I will read/listen. I'm genuinely interested in the train of thought that other people follow.
I second this, I would even go as far as to say that now that I'm used to this filter on all my devices (desktop/laptop/mobile), I can't stand looking at a screen without a blue light filter in the evening.

I thought it might be useful to add a comment mentioning what the changes are in layman's terms.

Prior to the recent change, everyone working in Japan was a "skilled" worker. There was no language requirement and essentially anyone with a degree was eligible. This didn't cover manual labour jobs etc.

But at the same time, many young people were out working in convenience stores, fast food restaurants etc. Turns out they were all on student visas. With a student visa and a work permission application (essentially a rubber stamp that is never not given) you can work up to 28 hours a week.

So the changes are trying to bring the visa system more in line with what people are actually doing. People without degrees can actually get proper working visas in Japan now.

> "Permanent residents are allowed to apply for Japanese citizenship after five years."

Technically you can apply for citizenship without permanent residence (green card equivalent) though I don't know what your chances would be.... Also you must give up all other citizenships.

> "Some foreigners will also marry Japanese nationals, and their children will thus be citizens as well. Since the new law prevents visa holders from bringing families with them to Japan, many of the new workers will likely be single people looking for spouses, making them more likely to marry locals."

This is true. In fact, by far the fastest route to permanent residence in Japan is marriage. You can get PR in 3 years if you are married to a Japanese national vs 10 years if you aren't.

Previously there were issues with the working conditions for people on the so-called "trainee" visa. One of these conditions (imposed by the workplace) included "No relationships". I hope the new visas don't come with similar stipulations.
Did you read the recent IPBES Global Assessment? An article on it from the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/06/climate/biodiversity-exti...

"Unless nations step up their efforts to protect what natural habitats are left, they could witness the disappearance of 40 percent of amphibian species, one-third of marine mammals and one-third of reef-forming corals. More than 500,000 land species, the report said, do not have enough natural habitat left to ensure their long-term survival."

A lot of awful things happen because people are just negligent, desperate, and ignorant.

> They are required to do what the shareholders want, which is usually maximizing returns.

I know of no such law. In which country is the the law?

In fact there is some concern by some economists that the management of public firms have too much discretion as unhappy shareholders can simply sell their shares and invest elsewhere rather than provide any direct feedback. Even when direct feedback is provided, management can and usually does ignore it, as can be seen from this week's Amazon AGM.
In that case, I would definitely like to see some facial recognition technology so its easier to catch that guy.
Was there ever a time when this was not the case? What realities were different during that time? Could we change towards those realities today? Should we?
Those are the 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 possible uses for this.

To illustrate lets imagine a really really good system that had a 0% false negative rate¹ , and a 0.000001%² false positive rate. If we were to sample the entire country looking the the FBI's most wanted we would end up with ~3290 matches, 3280 of which are going to be other people³.

Considering high value of the individual the chances of harassment or wrongful arrest (or worst) is pretty high.

1: In reality the false negative and false positive rate are going to be directly inversely related. The more you decrease the false positive rate the higher your false negative rate is.

2: That is 1 in 1 million

3: In this ideal situation it is assuming there is an even distribution. At this point computer vision is significantly worst for false positives for people of color.
so what happens to that? burned?

>Looking at its repo for 'activity' without context - maybe nothing needs to be changed and its working as designed - is completely disingenious.

>Why should repo activity without context be used as an indicator of anything in discussion instead of focusing on what Redhat has done?

"Activity" doesn't just refer to commit traffic. People were filing issues and making pull requests and not getting any responses for more than a year. And furthermore it was a Python 2 tool and the Python 2 EOL date is fast approaching.

I agree that the packagers should have at least left a note on GitHub (even if they thought it would go unread) - but clearly it was not a "maybe it's just mature and nothing needed to be changed" situation.
