People don’t have children because they want to have sex, they have children when they want to have children.

Even if something better than sex came into being, people’s wish to have children would be unaffected, and I doubt they would have any problem engaging in old-school sex for that purpose.
I have great faith in it. The "deployables" crowd knows their stuff and all eyes are on them right now.
That is incorrect, L2 is not a stable lagrange point, and will require station keeping adjustments to remain in position
How does studying several hours per day for a spelling bee, for years, lead to an improved education?

I mean, I can see how there would be some advantages, but wouldn't it be better to spend that same effort on a broader range of academic study?
You're saying asking for sources is a bad thing?
> I don't see it as VMs vs containers.

It's not? I didn't mean to pit them against each other in competition, I'm saying that if VMs are worth learning about and taking the time time to understand, so are containers. It doesn't have to be zero sum.

> We have a good devops process to deploy onto our instances, so we rarely have resource clashes you mention (ports/directories) because none of that is ever configured manually. All our infrastructure is derived from 'scripts', so it hasn't been a problem at all.

It seems like it was a class of problems that you have fixed with "good devops process". I'd argue that it probably was a problem at once point, and you improved your devops process to make sure it wasn't.

> Aside from python, I see no advantage in containerizing any of our processes at all.

Well I don't know your infrastructure so I'm can't comment on that. I doubt that python is the only thing you run that could benefit from containerization (which again, means limiting access to system resources through namespaces and cgroups), but if you say so then I have no choice but to believe that it's the case.

> As for debugging, I always forget how infuriating it is, till in the heat of the moment I have to open up a shell into someone's badly made docker image and try to use common tools to help diagnose a problem (ps, nslookup, dig, all) all missing from the wonderful little container.

Sounds like you could use some more of that "good devops process" you had when you set up the deploy machinery.

Also, the fact that all of that stuff is missing from the container is actually beneficial from a security point of view -- the same inconvenience you're experiencing is the same inconvenience an intruder would experience first before breaking out of the container (assuming they had the skill to do that). This means that you have another chance to catch them downloading and/or running `ps`/`nslookup`/`bash` or whatever tooling and flag the suspicious behavior. Whether you're in a VM or not, containers are another line of defense, and that's almost certainly a good thing.
I think you're just making stuff up.

Here is Jonathan Cook's bio:

The problem is that the economic incentive to exploit the environment will always outweight the economic incentive to protect it.

The article cited a ton of research that showed that carbon credits don't have a meaningful impact on carbon usage. It seems like what usually happens is that the carbon credits get shuffled around, but overall the carbon output stays the same.

Solutions like green technology or carbon credits seem to rest on this assumption that we can prevent environmental collapse without significantly changing our consumerist economy, standard of living, and energy consumption. This seems like magical, faith-based thinking. There are theoretical limits on how efficient any energy conversion will be, no matter how advanced our technology is. The more our economy grows, the more we consume and produce...the more energy we use and the more waste we create. We have to start thinking about ways to move away from an always-growing, consumerist economy.

'Fortunately' the only reason that lead to this change was that it was a rival political party who created the zone in the first place.

A picture with a missing piece as a hole is presented to the user. The missing piece is floating in front of the picture that can be dragged with the mouse (or via touch). A slider let the missing piece to be dragged left or right, to make it easier than 2D free movement. The user has to drag the missing piece on top of the hole on the picture to prove he's a human. The location of the missing piece is randomized for each interaction.
Interesting choice of examples. Cody was accused of sexually assaulting an under-age girl and fled to Taiwan to avoid arrest...

As common with articles that speak about "human nature" or other such things, they make an assertion that the study does not. The study seeks to provide a possible explanation for the _origin_ of exploitation in society. It does not, in fact, support that "exploitation is a basic property of human society".

Disappointed in the essentialism.

The plan was to create a 4kmˆ2 ring bordering the important landmarks of the royal palace, museo del prado, buen retiro, Atocha station etc. The interior has quite a number of Metro stations and is thus quite navigable by foot.

Car-driving populism to revert a policy barely 6 months old seems to have prevailed. As can be seen from the guardian article's photo, Gran Via is a pretty major thoroughfare leading to the heart of the city, Puerta del Sol.
The real danger I see is if/when deepfake-like tech becomes so ubiquitous that we no longer believe anything we see on video.

What will that mean for surveillance evidence? What will that mean for police brutality videos? What will it mean for rape/harassment/assault/stalking/etc videos?

By spreading this tech, which seems inevitable now, we roll back the protective aspects of video/film by decades, if not more.
The majority of US doctors have huge student loan debts for many years, they either must go into a specialty to pay them off quickly, or remain middle-class for years as primary care, pediatrics, geriatrics, and many other needed specialties are under-remunerated.
you have a weird definition of democracy if you think that the councils should do whatever their citizens want as a majority.

thousands of people are dying in big cities from pollution and the local government should take unpopular actions to tackle climate change. of course nobody wants to be affected in any way by climate change, they want other people to do it.
FYI voices with reasonable views are mostly a minority online. I've been watching this for a while now - no wonder you're getting downvoted :)
It's probably residents far from the city center that hate the LEZ. Most residents in the center would likely prefer the whole center to be closed to cars, as public transportation is quite good there.

Notice that the politician in question is not a candidate for mayor of the city, it's the candidate governor of the whole region around the city.
Agreed - don't compare nuclear to solar, compare it to coal and gas.
You want Paris to become like Detroit? Those tourists pump an enormous amount of money into the local economy and help keep the city what it is. No one ever travels to cities like Detroit or Buffalo because there's nothing there worth visiting, and the local economies are terrible.

It is unfortunate, the world has to be seen in black and white terms. The hit piece on The Guardian misses the mark here, yet the more you know about The Guardian the more you realise what the paper 'guards' and for whom.

There is no guarding of the truth in the abstract sense plus there is definite lying by omission. The paper is a left-wing gatekeeper, giving out enough of the truth to keep people doing things like going to anti-Trump rallies but not thinking that actual change is possible.

In this context of gatekeeping you can expect the paper to be 'clickbaiting' the readers with lots of Assange stuff. Supporting Assange and wanting him to get fairly treated is popular with the readers, none of whom would dare advance a controversial truth themselves.

When push comes to shove the Guardian are on the warmonger side, which is unfortunate if you have been a life long reader of the paper. They get orders from on high about what they can and cannot say, if there is a D-notice they will oblige rather than go front page.

It is not that hard to research examples of this, for a while 'off-guardian' did a good job of doing so. But even then they did not get into the D-notice stuff, where, incredible as it seems for a democracy, you can have facts and stories vanish into thin air on the government's say so. This is also the case in the U.S. where Special Administrative Measures can be used to make a story completely disappear. By the time this happens to a story you really do have a 'revolutionary truth' out of place with the times and deeply taboo. For this reason no examples can be cited, but this is something to bear in mind next time there is something weird like the Scripal incident.

My point being that although this is not a helpful article, The Guardian are not whiter than white, they fulfil a very important role in public diplomacy.
The people with the power to change the treaty don't materially care about the restoration and the people in change of the restoration don't have the power to change the treaty.

Without some huge effort to range awareness in favour of changing the Notre Dame for the better, the treaty will remain and those in charge of the repairs will have no say in how they go ahead.
How so? That no rape charge against Assange does or did exist is a matter of fact, not opinion... As is the fact that the extradition warrant (for questioning over an alleged sexual assault) was issued by the Swedish prosecutor and not the judiciary.

I think it’s fair to say that the quoted wording in the Guardian is clearly factually incorrect on those points at least.
Why not?

It isn't like smart would mean more motivation or anything. I do think it would have benefits like not being as able to be ripped off or fooled by mostly simple math. I think it'd mean we'd have more knowledgeable nurses and fewer folks that believe medical woo.

I'd even argue that being good fails if you aren't smart. "Schools just need to get back to the 3 R's - readin', writing', and 'rithmatic" isn't all ill-intentioned, after all, and is (in part) a complaint that kids aren't ready for the world, but their solution shows ignorance to what the schools teach, why it is taught, and things like that.
Well that include revenues from Hortonworks also. With revenue rise losses are also rising to $85.5M. I feel in couple of year they will fold up or brought by some big cloud vendor.
I used to do the same, but I've had MacOS's default software crash with long-ish (about an hour) content. I switch to Open Broadcaster Software[1] after that; free and open source, and very well made. The learning curve isn't that steep, either, if you're just doing regular screen/audio capture.

I'd like to add a 3rd thing, which is learning how to start something and try to do whatever it takes to finish it with constraints decided by someone else. Most likely you will be doing the similar thing for your entire life after getting out of college like starting some project or a task at work and trying to finish it whether you like it or not.
I get your stance - but this is about a company trying to make money. If anything(such as avoiding vendor lock-in) gets in the way of you making money, then your venture is failing.

Like... about half of the Gomel region of Belarus has almost no young people anymore. When the incompetence is sufficiently extreme, the outcomes are dire and felt by many.

I want nuclear to become the energy of choice for the west, primarily because the alternatives would practically bankrupt even the richest regions of the U.S. (if you look at the relation between increased reliance on batteries, and the subsequent increased demand for higher daily/monthly/bimonthly minimum supply) if taken too seriously.

However, downplaying Chernobyl in particular (considering how similar many plants either are, or seem to the public; and considering how near-soviet levels of incompetence can be seen regionally in the west today) is a bad play.

The single incident is extremely dramatic, ruined many people's lives, and still costs a fortune to keep in check. While some of the response is exaggerated or driven by unfounded fears; the fact remains that people from widely varying cultures tend not to find the places that faced the aftermath of Chernobyl desirable or healthy places to live.
> Insert "almost" into parent's sentence and it becomes correct.

No, it still remains astonishingly wrong. Even container orchestration platforms are being adapted to provide the same service that Hadoop has been providing for years, and no one in their right mind would claim that running processing jobs on the cloud is a problem that almost no one has.

“He had not been charged when he went to Taiwan, so he is not considered to have fled the country“ [1].

Based on the original story, there should be plenty of evidence forthcoming. No need to jump to conclusions.

I am not sure there is one sure fire way to teach kids. Each one is an individual. What works on one child may fail horribly in another. I think that is what we ultimately try to ignore. We want to simplify everything and say we need x or y. When in reality its that this kid needs x and that child y. But doing that is more work, people are lazy. Always looking for instant gratification. I know I have fallen victim to that myself.
> I Have A Dream (which will never happen) of writing a programming language that makes it easier to mix CPU and GPU execution in some sensible manner.

In the US, there is a sentiment that sex which occurs outside of marriage should be punished. Under the magical age of 18? Go to jail. Get pregnant? Spend the next 18+ years caring for a child. Get someone else pregnant? Spend the next 18+ years having your wages garnished.
Also, I want to be clear that I'm using "simple" and "easy" in the rick hickey sense of the words, as in "simple" has more to do with what a thing is made of, and "easy" has more to do with ease of use, taking available tooling/familiarity and context into mind.

What I should have made clearer was that I think containers are both easier and simpler than VMs. There are both less moving parts (I haven't looked, but I assume less code), and containers are easier to get started with than VMs (set some flags on some syscalls versus make sure you buy the right CPU).
Here's a fun fact about the Mandelbrot set, which I will communicate in Python in the hope that you can have a little fun witnessing the results:

def N(eps):
c = -0.75 + eps*1j
n = 0
z = 0
while abs(z) < 2:
z = z*z + c
n += 1
return n

[N(eps) for eps in [0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001, 0.000001]]

>Even phones and laptop screens are luminous now that you need to keep them at 50% or smth if you're not using them while sunbathing on the beach.

This is for good reason: so you can see them in daylight. The difference between nighttime and daytime illumination is orders of magnitude; we don't perceive it that way because our eyes are adapted to adjust to lighting levels that are orders of magnitude different. These devices need very bright screens if we want to see them when we're walking around outside. They're supposed to have auto-dimming functions so they turn down when you're inside or it's nighttime, but unfortunately many devices seem to have lousy auto-dimming algorithms.

No.

Calling him a whistleblower may have fit early on in his 'career', but by the end he was a huckster and an agent, knowing or unknowing, in state level espionage.

I absolutely think the case should go to the Supreme Court, if only to clarify the culpability journalists and news agencies have when they publish illegally obtained information.
This reminds me the outcry that followed the 'bolting on' of visible concrete, steel, and transparent glass in the middle of the Louvres... Which is now one of the most striking and famous view of the city.
To second the Tomte's reply: The grandparent comment attempting to discredit Assange's accuser and the charges is fabricated.

There were two women who both filed similar complaints with the police, and neither of them has changed their allegations.

You can read the facts of the charges yourself, and the established timelines. Whatever you feel about the charges, the timeline of events is well-established and credible. Whether or not he is guilty of rape is for the courts to decide.

The power plants aren't exploding - that's my point. Calling a meltdown an explosion is factually incorrect, and furthers misconceptions about what happens when a nuclear power plant goes critical.

For small kids they are just so ridiculously resilient and light. Injury rates before teenage years is very low in my experience. They also only go 2-3 times / week maximum and the coaches keep the training intensity moderated in the younger kid's classes. This matters a lot.

As an adult, I won't lie, BJJ hurts some times. Common injuries are finger/hand/foot/toe injuries. You will definitely get bumps and bruises, some times significant ones, but that is no factor usually. If you aren't in good shape you are at more risk. It kept me away from the practice for a long time, but... you modulate your own BJJ experience as an adult. Go less frequently and choose the right school, it is a journey like anything else. I personally have subluxated my ribs once (really only stopped me from doing BJJ, I could still run/lift), but it really hurt, and my fingers and toes definitely feel it some days, but nothing that required a doctor yet. The up side is... it is one of the most amazing things I have ever done. It keeps my ego in check. It is as intensely technical as you want it to be. It is like the merging of an ultimate nerd and fitness hobby into one martial art / sport.

It is a legit martial art. If you start training seriously, I think it requires a serious training focused on improving your strength and muscle mass for injury resistance as well.
