The two replies are completely puzzled about what I mean by the US army marching into Los Angeles in 1992, with dozens dead in the wake.

It makes me think of people who are "shocked" that Chinese college students don't know about Beijing in 1989, and they say how the Chinese elite have suppressed events. But I talk about the US army marching into Los Angeles in 1992 and dozens dead in the wake, and it is a complete mystery to multiple people here, they have no idea what I'm talking about.
The sense of security that comes with keeping a gassed (or charged) vehicle in my driveway doesn't seem like it will go away any time soon. If a family member needs to go to the emergency room, or a natural disaster strikes, Uber isn't going to cut it.
The only regions that are more expensive than us-east-1 in the States are GovCloud and us-west-1 (Bay Area). Both us-west-2 (Oregon) and us-east-2 (Ohio) are priced the same as us-east-1.
> it's often the only way to ensure that the end user actually updates their password regularly

It is fair to point out that the relevance of this is dependent on your attack model. If you suspect someone is trying to crack your password then just a longer password is fine. If you suspect a leak then you actually need to change/update password.
Reports claim that it's a network congestion issue primarily in the northeast United States. It seems doubtful that any data has been lost, but you probably can't see resources due to requests not getting through. I hope that hearing this helps you to feel better.
I've successfully avoided this kind of crap (never fell for the medication frenzy). Somebody close to me was able to find a psychiatrist who would assist them in getting off meds only when a third party intervened.

The problem is not with individual doctors, it is that the structure {legal, economic} surrounding mental health favors getting people on medication, but doesn't create good paths for them to get off (at least in the US).

I haven't read up on the origins of OSS, so I can't really comment on why it was designed. I will at some point read up on it more.

I agree Open Source & Non-Free (as per R.M.S.) would be much more commercially useful than Free in a lot of circumstances, because if I pay $1000 for some Free as in Speech software I can then go and sell it to your competitors for $10.

The only way I can think that this is not business-destroying if said software is so tricky to set up that it only makes sense to buy it from the original vendor who will set it up for you in the price - in which case that probably breaks the spirit of free software.
holy shit lmao. I'm sorry that sucks.
Enterprise Value (EV) is a far better representation of the value of companies, considering that both shareholders and debt-holders have a stake in the company.

It is interesting to read the history of Storm from the original author (Nathan Marz) himself: http://nathanmarz.com/blog/history-of-apache-storm-and-lesso...

Clojure allowed him to build the initial Storm release by himself in only 5 months.

> I made all of Storm's APIs in Java, but implemented Storm in Clojure. By keeping Storm's APIs 100% Java, Storm was ensured to have a very large amount of potential users. By doing the implementation in Clojure, I was able to be a lot more productive and get the project working sooner.

Also interesting is that Nathan has now founded a startup working on something which sounds like the next evolution of Storm, and he's building it in Clojure again:

https://redplanetlabs.com/

They recently got 5M in funding and are hiring. Building a Clojure team for it.

Personally, I feel the Storm 2.0 release rewrite to Java is really just a case of the new maintainers not knowing Clojure very well, and being primarily Java devs, looking for contributions from people using Storm, which tend itself to be mostly Java shops. Clojure is not quick to pick up, and very different from Java, so unlike Scala, Kotlin, C#, Go, etc. Someone with a Java background and no Clojure or Lisp experience won't be able to contribute as easily. And that's fine, and possibly best for Storm's future now that Nathan has moved on. Unless a Clojure dev had stepped up and adopted Storm, this change isn't at all surprising.
Got it. Then this sentence is incorrectly phrased:

> The only person who's DNA was found there (who wasn't part of the five) is the person who claims that there was only one attacker (he confessed to the crime and made the claim that he was the only attacker after meeting one of the five in prison).

Should be:

> The only person whose DNA was found there is the person who claims that there was only one attacker (he confessed to the crime and made the claim that he was the only attacker after meeting one of the five in prison).

I would argue that your comments in brackets are also irrelevant, because it appears to be suggesting something for which there is no basis for. In other words, he confessed to the crime, period. And his DNA was found on the victim. So we know he is guilty, period.
This is a known issue. The smart way to handle it would have been to have agreements with other neighboring countries where they promised to respect IP laws, and agreed to not steal IP the way China does, and also agreed to not block foreign companies the way China does, and if they did face heavy penalties. Once you have those protections, American companies reliant on China could easily transition to those countries instead if this threat did not force China to rectify their ways voluntarily.

In other words, TPP.
Sure you can, but you'll need to give them your code or the master code. Unless you've enabled Privacy Mode, in which case... I don't know if even the master code would work.

Isn't it also that promotions at Google are based on creating new products/projects rather than maintaining existing ones? So engineers have a negative incentive to maintain things since it costs them promotions.

I have 2 and 3 year CDs in a bunch of banks. (This is a common use case, people open separate accounts because of the FDIC insurance limit in any one bank). I only need to log in again 2 or 3 years after opening the account to either take the money out, or open another CD.

Some of these banks expire passwords every 6 months! That's insane. I have calendar reminders set to remind me to log in and generate another password with LastPass.
Thanks, I was looking for something like this recently. I would often fire up Blender just to look at some models, but that was way too slow.
I appears that logging into the webmail solves at least POP mail problems. I tried my mail client and failed, then attempted a login to the webmail which worked. Gmail then asked me to confirm my recovery address and cellphone, which I did, and finally loaded the inbox page. I immediately attempted a connection through the POP client and this time it worked.

It might be something security related if it triggers a mandatory identity confirmation.

edit: I tried to send me a mail from another account and it worked but out of 4 or 5 mail checks at least two failed giving the same error.

Unfortunately we still have to have similar authentication methods for other password resets. Users have an alarming tendency to forget their passwords after a week or two of holiday.
Oh please. Plenty of Chinese acquisitions and investments were denied pre-trade war. You also see almost no Chinese brands in the US, but they are everywhere in the rest of the world. You think that's an accident? There was never any open market in the US, that's your first myth. US market access has been a political tool since at least World War II.

What Trump has done is ripping the covers off the whole machinery, not only in domestic politics but also US international relations, down to the naked ugly cores.
Apparently (from further up the thread) it's a network congestion issue causing extremely high rates of packet loss. I imagine pretty much anything that's homed in the effected regions will be degraded or unaccessible.
Looks like they are having trouble updating their statuses. 19008 was supposed to be updated over an hour ago. Meanwhile, 19009 has the same comment posted three times. I'm guessing internal tools are barely working at best.
"That majority of work only accounts for a small portion of value on the margin."

No, the surpluses yielded by consumers and profits by companies of those people 'doing the work' is vast.

If they stopped doing it it would be a nightmare.

We don't need resto servers to get English degrees, and then what, exactly? We need someone to do the resto serving.

If they 'start their own business', like 'a restaurant' ... well then they're still going to need servers!

If anything, wages could be increased for that cohort. Surely there's some opportunity for automation, but even then we still need people to do the work.

We all like the idea of 'education' and that everyone should have an opportunity for it, but there's simply quite a bit of work to be done, we should think about how to make it work better for everyone.

Not only political, but with SLAs on the line they have significant financial and legal consequences as well. Most managers are probably happier keeping the ‘incident declaring power’ in as few a hands as possible to make sure those penalty clauses aren’t ever un-necessarily triggered.
Code reuse? Couple if years ago some started to call servers "cloud" but the cloud is just that: computers managed by someone else. If the whole service layer relies on Three big companies, there is a problem..

Instead of calling everything a "file", you might as well call everything an "object" then. It also seems more correct.
Interesting, where would you go to see the list of committers for a given project and find information about them?

I'm curious if the commiters are Clojure developers who chose to switch to Java, or if they are Java devs who decided to rewrite the project to a language they are more familiar and comfortable in. Or if they are Clojure devs looking to transition the project to other commiters and they struggled to find other Clojure devs willing to take it over.
Like this?

Ah, yes, I will never forget running a site in New Orleans, and the disaster preparedness plan included "When a named storm enters or appears in the Gulf of Mexico, transfer all services to offsite hosting outside the Gulf Coast". We weren't allowed to use Heroku in steady state, but we could in an emergency. But then we figured out they were in St. Louis, so we had to have a separate plan for flooding in the Mississippi River Valley.

I am not sure if a single S3 outage pushed any big names into their own "datacenter". S3 has still the world record of reliability that you cannot challenge with your inhouse solutions. You can prove it otherwise. I would love to hear a solution that has the same durability, avabiality and scalability as S3.

For the downvoters, please just link here the proof if you disagree.

We can't ever know the counterfactual. If these had degenerated into a revolution, there would have been many more casualties.

What we know for sure is that, 30 years later, the country is enjoying tremendous growth, has lifted a lot of its population from poverty, and did that even with foreign powers trying to meddle with it.

Personally, I would consider that a success - especially when compared to say Russia. Sure, things could have been handled better, but Monday quarterbacking is easy, while action is hard.
I live in a house with a Nest thermostat and Nest Secure and Nest x Yale door locks. The AC is on just fine, and the door unlocked just fine. (The door lock doesn't require an internet connection, unless you've enabled privacy mode for some reason.)
If natural disasters strike, is it possible for you to bug out without getting stuck with thousands or hundreds of thousands other car users as well? Just asking, because a backup secondary route either on foot or smaller off-road vehicles (motorbikes or just regular bikes) might be prudent for planning.

But yeah, many time-sensitive events are able to be easily solved with our own cars. There's a flexibility that is absent when relying on public transit and ride-sharing. Does it worth the trade-off of maintaining your own vehicle and it's attendant issues? In my opinion, it is. For some others, it isn't. It would be better if cars can become a non-essential for everyone in the world though, or at least the urbanites. Less traffic jams for the rest of us.
Yeah but for all we know, they didn't commit those crimes either. I mean, they, "confessed", to a lot right. There were "witnesses", to them doing a lot right.

They may have done all of what they confessed to, or they may have been tortured and done none of it. That's the problem with bent police forces and court systems, there's just a baseline confidence issue. That baseline confidence issue creates the conditions that make people perfectly justified in being skeptical. And winning that confidence back is extremely difficult. In fact, depending on how bad the conditions are, it may not even be possible.

When torture is allowed into the judicial process either overtly or covertly, the integrity of the entire system eventually degrades over time.

EDIT:

On re-reading that, it sounded bad. I didn't mean that they might have been tortured. I understand that torture was part of the process. So perhaps I should have written:

"...or they may have done none of it, and the torture prompted confessions..."

Well, yes. Most of the developed world hit "peak baby" a while back. We're going to see a lot of "peak ..." over the next decade or so.
The primary motivator for people is money. Government attempts to regulate all aspects of behavior, but it cannot effectively control or monitor the exchange of money. The most obvious symptoms of this are usually called corruption. It is less obvious (but still obvious to me) that corruption is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is structural. Government cannot be effective because it is superceded or corrupted by the real motivator.

The solution is a high tech type of money that is integrated with government.
They should use this center for technology transfer... heh.
A config push on a weekend seems pretty unlikely. Given that it's apparently a network congestion issue and showed up on a weekend, my guess is that it's probably a bizarre networking hardware failure like the one that took out CenturyLink[1] last December.

Same with most corporate twitter feeds. I’d like to follow my public transit/airport/highway authority, but it’ll be 10 posts about Kelly’s great work in accounting for every service disruption.

And No, I don’t want to install a separate app to get push notifications about service disruptions for every service I use.

> And not just the typical American channels which Beijing finds easy to dismiss as western propaganda. [...] The near universal obedience seen among the population would seem very foreign to most people in the west.

You say that, but mainstream western media is very rarely really critical of the government and especially the core policies of the government (which are the same regardless of whose government it happens to be). Yeah, mainstream media will take some potshots (which is an improvement over China) but very rarely will there be an actual critique of establishment politics.

Almost no mainstream media was critical of the Iraq war and the lie that Saddam had WMDs. No mainstream media is critical of the currently 5 illegal wars (not approved by Congress thus being illegal under the US constitution, nor an act of defense thus being illegal under the Nuremberg Convention) being waged by the US. No mainstream media was critical of the Syrian gas attack (used as justification to bomb Syria with America's "majestic" weapons) which may have been false, given the recent leak of an internal OPCW document detailing evidence that the gas canisters could not have been dropped from a helicopter and the attempts to cover it up[1] -- which was so ignored by mainstream media that I can't even find an article mentioning it. No mainstream media is critical of US interventionism nor modern US imperialism. No mainstream media is critical of the current narrative being pushed by the government about Venezuela or Iran. And that's just the war narrative!

It will auto-uppercase stand alone "i", but, yeah, as far as I know it doesn't do general auto-correct. I've never been a fan of auto-correct, so I regard that as a feature. I recognize that that's a minority position, though.

Actually, the uppercase support is one thing that I dislike about MessagEase. For swipes you just swipe one way and then back to where you started, which is easy and natural. For taps (your most frequent characters) you have to draw a circle. I've found this to be error prone, and the fact that it's different for the two sets of characters tends to trip me up. If you text as much as a teenager, you could probably get this into muscle memory, but I can never quite get there.
I haven't read Oster's books yet, but I am trained in economics, worked for the national statistics body, work with data and tell people how to collect evidence and reach conclusions, and now have a 6 month old at home.

what I have heard through the grapevine is that her conclusions are very similar to my own doing similar reviews: breast feeding is probably good for some minor things (gastro etc), but its hard to separate it out from education, income, and risks from other sources (ie bad drinking water) and there's probably no long term effects from not doing it if you're smart, rich and clean.

A lot of the diet stuff during pregnancy sounded nuts, and the advice (and subsequent stats/research/ recommendation s) seemed culturally affected and based on extremely unlikely/ minimal outcomes.

And then I'd see other parents stressing about co sleeping, but not even give the faintest thought or worry to living a life with car dependency and strapping kids into them: apparently culture changes your perception of relative risk.

The other things that became apparent to me:

-just how dodgy the evidence base is for a lot of claims on parenting

- a lot of modern western parenting is pretty anti- woman/parent IMO. so little regard for the idea of taking care of baby by taking care of parents.

- the number of people and pop resources abusing and misquoting science, sometimes to reach the opposite conclusion to the one I reached when reading the actual papers/original sources. And yet you have pundits and salespeople repeating 'study found X' ad nauseam.
As far as I know India has restrictions on Huawei network gear. US - China war is hypothetical, but Indo-China was is more closer to reality and each year both armies trading stones and punches.
