It's not entirely clear to me why this is any different from many other sovereign justice systems. I think the point stands that people who obey the 'laws' of their 'government' aren't subjected to random acts of violence by non-government entities the way they would be under a two-cartel system. And overall, it's much more peaceful that way.

> No career? Hire him for a government job.

Are you being satirical here? The rest of your comment, other than this line, seems like you are trying to be serious, but this is so clearly over the line into absurdity I can't tell.

> No prospectors for ever amounting to anything? Get off your high horse, he'd still have 40 years left to do that. Especially for men 40 years is a perfectly fine age to start a family nowadays.

Assuming you are being serious for the moment (and if you arne't, good on you, I honestly wasn't sure): it seems like you are not accounting for any of the realities of the scenario you are describing. What about the trauma and PTSD from living through decades of psychological torture? What about the destroyed social networks? What about the consequences of decades of poor diet and exercise?

Han is a bloke in my opinion.

One of the quietest senior government figures, who was very likely given a high post just for that.

In line of premiership, the only person with political credentials is the last in line, fourth vice premier — Liu, and all others are pretty much "seat fillers"

Take a note, Liu is the only somewhat senior bureaucrat other than Wang with a personal connection to Xi, but even he was given no access to real executive power.

In terms of human history, life imprisonment is very unusual. It's new enough to still be regarded as in an experimental phase, and everything we know about this experiment suggests that prison (especially life) is failing to have any of the positive effects that it is supposed to have.

Even EasyList, which is probably the largest list out there, has 42,000 rules. So I wouldn't consider a 150,000 limit to be "ridiculously low".

However I do agree that there shouldn't be a limit, in accordance with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_one_infinity_rule. I think they were just trying to get people to actually clean up EasyList to prune dead rules.
created differently and propagates differently as a bottom up phenomenon rather than top down.

Some does. Fake news produced by groups like the IRA (Russia edition) is absolutely top down. Fake news produced on the chans is neither bottom up nor top down, it's incubated and filtered and disseminated with strategic intent from start to finish and could be considered as top-down propaganda produced by non-state actors aiming to slice off a little state (qua establishment) power for themselves. This sort of multifaceted and highly asymmetrical political conflict is sometimes referred to as 4th generation warfare or 4GW for short.
I don't see why they can't just follow the example of open source licenses. GPL is powerful and complicated, but when you see something is GPL you know what you're getting into because you've seen it before. There are a handful of well-known policies that have varying levels of generosity, and anyone can always make up a new one -- but if they do it's a bit of a red flag and people will dig in to find out what it's about.

The problem with current policies is only partly that they're complicated, it also has a lot to do with them being snowflakes too.

Convolutional Neural Networks: an Introduction (TensorFlow Eager API)
I think it all depends on if ThreadRipper gets a new socket. Matisse is 2 channel DDR, Threadripper is currently 4 channel, and Rome, the new server platform, is supposed to be 8 channel.

Using the Rome platform unmodified means 8 channel matching DDR4 kits for consumers. Re-using Matisse silicon glued together makes next-gen ThreadRipper into a NUMA device. Maybe AMD has an I/O die just for the low volume ThreadRipper in production. Hopefully, AMD will just harvest Rome I/O dies for ThreadRipper and tease us with 32, 48, and 64 core models that work on the existing TR4 socket.
Now that they know, they can try to swap out for a burner phone along the way.

China has a whole gulag archipelago for disappearing and executing dissidents and undesirables. The US doesn't have the infrastructure. The CIA had to spin up a whole set of foreign black sites for its rendition/torture program.

I could see Hoover's FBI doing something like this, but it would probably have come out by now if they had.

Killing your own citizens who spy for foreign countries to send a message doesn't work that well unless you're willing to let it get out that you did it. If nobody knows, then it's not a disincentive! And your adversaries will just recruit more- after all, they're not the ones running the risk, it's your citizens, who don't even know about your new targeted murder program. Quietly disposing of the Rosenbergs instead of putting them on trial might have been easier, but unlike in authoritarian regimes the US wouldn't be able to do anything but keep it a deep dark secret, and the propaganda value and deterrent effect would be wasted.

Killing an entire ring of foreign spies who could be swapped is also stupid, since it means your spies won't be held and maybe swapped, they'll be killed.

Have foreign spies ended up dead on American soil due to US government action, sure maybe, but the FBI or whoever deciding to round up and shoot everyone in a spy ring, nah.

I used to write my resume with LaTeX, but the last time I was job hunting I decided to take a different approach - now I keep my resume as a single semantic HTML document, and I apply useful categories and tags (as classes) to each bit of job experience/accomplishment/education I have listed, and I have a bit of javascript that makes it easy to hide portions from the printed version (via css print styles).

I do it this way because it allows me to keep all of my experience and history in one single place, while also making it easy to create reduced subsets tailored to specific jobs.
> By supporting Saudi Arabia the West really shoots itself in the foot.

Well, the West went and took down the regime in Iraq, but some think that didn't go so well, either. SA is ruled by a clan and king, so it's not a full theocracy at least. If you go and perturb things, there is also room to make the situation worse.
Doesn't work. I'm not going to change the mind of a 60+ Baptist who's devoted their whole life to getting into heaven.

Came to say the same... the 3600 (non-X) is extremely competitive in gaming, and is pretty likely to have some good overclocking headroom with a good water cooler. Personally, I'm very much looking forward to the 3950X and will probably be my choice (even though waiting yet another 2 months to upgrade) unless something significant/soon happens in the next ThreadRipper, the 3950X is likely to be a very sweet spot carrying it for 5 years and more.

I've said in other comments my 4790K is getting a bit old at this point, not slow for most stuff, but definitely hungry for more cores for a lot of tasks, and looking to break past 32gb of ram. I'd also been considering Epyc or even Xeon, as older/used Xeons can be very well priced. Guess I'm waiting until September.
To which case are you referring here?

> Dropbox Plus just got an upgrade. And a new price—starting on [xxx] , 2019 (that’s your next billing cycle), Dropbox Plus will be $119.88 a year (plus any applicable taxes).
The UI got worse when they broke it, what, 4, 5, probably 6 years ago now? It USED to be a menu bar icon with a green check showing it was up to date. Now its just a box. Now when I click the dropdown I can either view a "notifications" or "recent files" tab, neither of which I want. One of my notifications (the oldest of the 3 that show on the screen is A YEAR old. It used to look like an OS X menu. Now it's just some weird list with arbitrary icons spewed all over the screen that's utterly inconsistent with everything else on my system.

At least it used to be clean. Now it's not.
I didn’t work for the government directly, and I don’t want to sound like I was doing anything covert or especially difficult. Basically, the company I worked for knew the government was one of its biggest customers with some unusual requirements compared to other customers (not “we need to spy on people,” but more like FedRAMP), and we helped other teams implement those feature requests.

But it was the federal government that insisted that we be US citizens. As far as I know, they didn’t require us to pass any special background check. And they didn’t require us to have any special training. But we absolutely had to be citizens (not just “legally able to work in the country”).
It's generally true for most people. You're right though that it's not true in certain special cases.

Great idea! Very smart to focus it on building profile pages for Instagram users, then it's a focused use case rather than the general "make a website."

One suggestion: I found the whole term "Insta website" to be more confusing than helpful. I think of Insta as short for Instagram so it confused me to keep seeing it in another context. Honestly, I don't think you even need to define that term. Just focus on the benefits and why the user, as an Instagram user, should want a great page linked on their profile. "Get a profile page like all the top influencers...", "Grow your other social profiles...", etc.

Just a suggestion, hope the idea works out!

OMG can I come work for you?
Been coding for my entire life, just don't have the resume text to back up the fact that I can learn just about any language/tool/framework/gizmo that I come across, so trying to get hired to any particular place, who all require "proven track record, 1+ years in X,Y,Z,ZZ and ZZZ", is almost impossible.

I'd love to see more openings saying "we use these tools, but we're open to work with anyone who can show they can learn them and be a solid team member".
Please don't take this as a personal attack, but I was severely dissapointed with Meteor after being a strong proponent for it for several years.

I advocated for its use on several projects and was bitten by major performance bottlenecks and its over reliance on MongoDB. GraphQL implementation is great, but does it support relational dB's yet?

I am happy to hear that it is still doing well, and I may end up using it for some personal projects.

I believe that the problem it is trying to solve is worthwhile. However I became very frustrated when the push for monetization started while the framework itself still seemed like it was in the prototype phase.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but Meteor has a place in my memory similar to an ex that I really cared about but hurt me once more than I could stomach.

As long as they're coming out with new hardware configurations anyway, why should switching to AMD require substantial effort?

That's not the impression I got from that thread. They seem to agree that this is bad for benchmarking, but remain undecided on whether that's good or bad for real-world processing.

It depends on the work. So as always benchmark suites are to be taken with a grain of salt. More specific benchmarks, such as compiling a standard set of real software packages, can give a clearer picture of performance for those more specific use cases.

Until we see more specific data on how these chips perform for certain tasks, this is just FUD.

Great article! Aside from the pointing out expansion of the markets I would have liked for the author to show how the costs for taxpayers are rising with the returns for the government diminishing.

With Silk Road 1.0 it was mostly a single government that had a lengthy expensive investigation that resulted in upwards of $50 million in Bitcoin seized and auctioned off. With the massive expansion of these market places, MULTIPLE governments are involved and barely seize or disrupt $1 million any more.

A better use of their population's money is consumer protection.

These market places have enough high quality but regular testing and alerts would protect their citizens. Governments have consequences by being seen to endorse drugs, I think this is a happy medium as the private sector has already picked up the slack here, and the government doesn't need to be seen as legalizing and regulating in stores just to keep people safe. Instead it can just review on these high quality marketplaces.
let's say they didn't up the limit from 30k.

I'm not the OP, but I can report on how we evolved our BI analytics at Appcues.

We started out writing events into a Postgres table, but BI queries were slow and Postgres was an expensive place to put the events.

So then we started writing the events into S3 in batches of 10,000. That number was chosen semi-arbitrarily, intending that any Lambda function would be able to process an entire batch within the 5 minute execution limit. We started also keeping aggregate stats on this data by updating counters and HyperLogLog estimators in a Redis store, updated as each batch hits S3. Athena became our BI tool.

About a year after that, we'd evolved the system so that we were splitting events by customer (instead of being an arbitrary time-slice of a day's traffic). This became a suitable backend for a customer CSV export system, as well as making BI cheaper by allowing us to zero in on the customer(s) we were curious about.

And in the last year, we've begun to use the batched event data in S3 to feed a Snowflake DB (via Snowpipe), which we use for both offline BI and online analytics as part of our product. Snowflake is not free and requires some sophistication, but it supports the leading analytics tools and visualizers, and it's part of a direct evolution from keeping JSON files on S3.
There's a difference between overthrowing the government and not letting them invest in Uber.
How does Snowplow compare to this?
Asp.net Core and Blazor Updates in .Net Core 3.0 Preview 6
We've got a Salesforce implementation going at the nonprofit where I work. While there was some debate about which big CRM we'd buy, the need to consolidate was blindingly obvious.

Why? Because our organization has been quite forward thinking about allowing managers and executives to source the technology they think they to succeed. As this article advocates for, IT was largely consultative rather than dictatorial, and a lot of business units were able to pick what they wanted.

But what this has left us with is dozens of places where customer data was being stored, some of them now past their end of life. No central visibility into customer experience. People getting multiple copies of the same email from different departments using different email platforms. Poor deliverability. Subscriptions on random credit cards that suddenly turn off because the person left and no one knows how to get into the admin account and update the card.

We hired a boutique shop to do the Salesforce implementation; we're not scared of doing that. Unfortunately this time it did not pay off... their performance fell off, to the point that they couldn't even reply to emails on time. As sometimes happens with small firms, they grew too fast and exceeded their ability to operate. We can't wait for them to figure it out... so here we go with a big dog firm. Let's see how that goes.

Maybe I'm lucky in who I work with, but I find the "add a bullet point to the resume" take to be maybe a bit too cynical. Tableau, Salesforce, data lakes, ERP, identity management, and "cloud" infrastructure each seem like useful tools if implemented smartly. (Note that I took out blockchain...)
