Haynes Miller who I think is still around (math dept) is a good person with tons of integrity who cared a lot about me as an undergrad, and was very devoted to teaching undergrads in an accessible way. Mike artin (algebra Prof) is a fabulous lecturer and human being too --he's emeritus but hangs around campus a ton. Two of the few bright spots of my depressing years at the institute.

LogDNA (YC W15) – DevOps Monitoring Is Hiring Remote Software Engineers
AT&T has more to gain than lose by this being successful, since they pay out billions in retransmission fees. They're already playing hardball on retransmission agreements recently, with the current CBS blackout being only the latest example[1].

AT&T added Locast to both their DirecTV and Uverse TV receivers[2], which limits the impact radius of the blackouts that are resulting from their strong-arm tactics. And in the case of DirectTV's receiver, it's a pretty seemless process as the blacked-out channels in the guide automatically redirect you to the equivalent channel in the Locast app.

A $500k donation for such convenient leverage is chump change, considering the billions of dollars that are on the line with these retransmission agreements.

Doesn't that mean we've evolved to eat a lot of starch so the more natural thing for humans to eat is therefore starch, if you follow this line of reasoning? And therefore, we've "evolved beyond" the keto diet?

FWIW, I do not think this is good reasoning.
If this is as severe as I think it is, you may seriously want to consider taking down this link. Google and @gorhill have likely made things private for a reason.
I bet it's technical. Both GCP, YouTube and other Google properties suffered recently due to a misconfigured core switch in one of their regions. This implies they share at least network fabric between GCP and everything else. They probably slapped a blanket block over some shared infrastructure, and decided GCP is too much of a small-fry to justify the legal and technical work to be more nuanced.

There is nothing wrong with shorting Tesla. Short selling is a necessary corrective to overhyped stocks.

If the short sellers are wrong about Tesla being overpriced, they will pay for it. They are taking all of the risk, and they are not hurting anything except Musk's feelings.
You don't like the overhead of VPNs, but you're okay with using this protocol that sits atop TCP/IP and encrypts traffic between your endpoint and Cloudflare?

>What I don't like about this is that (as fas as I know) it would require sending all of our traffic over Cloudflare and let them decrypt it.

Isn't that what a VPN is?
The main thing that has kept SA high quality is the $10 registration fee. It sounds like a small amount but I get the impression that it filters out the vast majority of shitty trolls. On top of that, if your account gets banned then you have to pay the $10 fee again, so if you’re a repeat offender then it gets expensive fast.
I think I can sum it up in a Yogi-Berra-ism: The game industry is very industrialized. If you work on a commercial product, most of your effort goes towards making a product, and any specific details of the game are often a small part, one in a series of checklist features. And it's easy to dismiss assets when working on a little graphics demo, but the assets often take as much or more design insight than the code(which for most gameplay behaviors tends to boil down to finite state logic, timers, and lookup tables). What you most often get paid for as an industry employee is to churn out assets and simple behavioral scripts in quantity, so even though there are interesting problems at the top end of the field, you are probably not working on them for most production cycles, or only working on them for a short period.

As such, it's easy to tinker on a game and hyperfocus on a small aspect, but a different story to finish one in the way that most commercial games feel finished, both as software and in terms of filling in the blanks.
You have to synchronously report the error to the application depending on the fsync, full stop. None of the other proposed mechanisms are a replacement for that; for one, because they are asynchronous. An application can't be written to "do an fsync, assume it's done...unless some system-wide error reporting mechanism says otherwise arbitrarily later".

> FWIW: I'm all but certain you're wrong about the "POSIX-violating" part. My read of the standard says the author was thinking only about the current request.

An fsync call is not a complete request (it doesn't specify the data to be written), so what on earth does "only about the current request" mean?

I can't reconcile any of these arguments that Linux's behavior was correct with the RATIONALE section here: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fs... and particularly the phrase "all data up to the time of the fsync() call is recorded on the disk". There's no mention of "since a previous fsync() call" or any such thing there.

Interesting, although I will note for other readers that NYC and other large left-leaning cities are exceptions rather than the norm regarding tenant protections. Texas, where I live, for example, has much more landlord-friendly laws.
Based on the actions of large US tech companies, as described above and in my other comment [0], I believe the rule of thumb is "Don't take Iranian money."

If you are blocking access to a free-to-use service or the free tier of a paid service, you are using a stricter blocking scheme than seems to be required based on the actions of legally-savvy tech companies.

Maybe this is what spontaneous human combustion is? People burst into flames randomly.

If this hit a human body and expanded as a ball of plasma, it might not look like a bullet wound like they think but it'd just burn the person alive, and there's plenty of recorded accounts of that happening.

Previously it's been attributed to the body losing control of its ability to regulate its temperature (homeostasis) but this mechanism seems way more plausible, they get hit by a particle of this that expands as a super heated ball of plasma and burns them alive inside out.
A deal with no adequate verification regime is not a good deal.

A deal that gives billions of dollars to the worlds largest supporter of terrorism is not a good deal.

It is appeasement.

When fascist regimes like what run Iran say things like how they're going to nuke Israel and the US, that this is a goal they are pursuing, I believe them.

It's sad that the Iranian people have to put up with the fascists who control their government, but appeasing their government will not solve anything.

It would actually appear to be covered by a number of apologies they’ve issued over the years, first and most notably the formal apology for all actions in China which was accepted by the PRC as part of the Japan–China Joint Communiqué that formally reestablished diplomatic relations in 1972.

AP is driver assist, so if the pedestrian isn't at fault, then the driver is at fault.

I don’t have any problem with someone shorting a stock if they don’t engage in spreading lies and trying to take the company down.

The problem is that the layer models break down above IP/level 3. Imagine you defined IPv77 which was identical to IPv4 but included port info. So this is equivalent to UDP/IP. What layer protocol is that?

Or say you managed to run UDP directly on top of ETH. Because if you don’t need routing across different networks this is perfectly possible. A protocol is just two interfaces: where it interacts with the lower level protocol and higher level protocol. It is all encapsulation, that’s my point. This is why the layer model is mostly not really used when discussing these things.

So back to the example or UDP being implemented as a layer 3 protocol: when using it, you wouldn’t actually know the difference, would you?

As for my code example, you are right. It should be like so:

s = socket(TCP, IPv6);
bind(s, “localhost”, 5555);
c = accept(s);

Note that past the call to socket() and storing the remote address, I don’t care whether TCP here runs on carrier pigeons or paper planes. Heck, I could treat the addresses as completely abstract strings if I want and never know that they are the names of two pigeons. TCP abstracts that away from me. I don’t worry about things like packet delivery, congestion, routing, etc. When I use the TCP interface, I can ignore most of the underlying details. When I implement it, it’s the opposite: I care a whole lot because I need a different implementation for every underlying protocol.

i like the pomodoro method but i'm not that keen on follow the timer exactly. So, on my breaks, it varies. Some time i go grab some coffee, fill my water bottle, go to the bathroom. Maybe, at work, talk to someone. This may take more the 5 min, but i dont mind. Also, and most commonly, answer messeges on the phone or read one of the tabs i opened during the pomodoro but it wasnt directly related to the work.
I'm aware, but the analogy still applies, which was about page-cache in particular.
The government is a large spender of USD.

It also issues a lot of USD-denominated debt; deflating the dollar makes that worse.

If the government's dollar liabilities exceed its dollar assets, the impact of destroying a dollar on the government's financial health is negative.

Did you read any political news between the 19th century and today in so-called "civilized western societies"?

French and American history are filled with government-sponsored and industry-sponsored militias murdering workers on strike or angry protesters.

In the USA, take a look at the "goon squads" targeted at indigenous communities and their modern equivalent deployed at Standing Rock. Or the FBI's COINTELPRO and government-sanctioned murder of many militants from the Black Panther and other revolutionary organizations. Or the attack on the MOVE movement when police killed 11 people (including 5 children) and destroyed dozens of house from the neighborhood.

In mainland France, such actions are usually carried out by the state apparatus, not private militias because owning and carrying guns is mostly illegal (except for hunting, with a license). Still, when the establishment in France was threatened during May 68 protests, De Gaulle called his private counter-revolutionary militia (Services d'Action Civique) to the rescue ; these were founded by Jacques Foccart (the psychopath responsible for "african matters" for De Gaulle) in the context of the war against Algerian liberation (back in 1960).

Now, it's the time for me to acknowledge that some people face levels of generalized repression way worse than we do in France/USA/Hong Kong. I'm thinking of people tortured by security services (such as FSB) all around the world for "not thinking right" or just out of suspicion.

In the western world, you can speak your mind very openly as long as it does not threaten the exploitative system we live in, while in some countries like Morocco simply insulting the king will get you in prison.

Still, this very wild violence is the foundation of every capitalist society and western societies are not exempt from it, contrary to what you seemed to imply. It's just not the general rule in our day-to-day lives (at least in richer neighborhoods).
Interesting that a one letter typo changes the meaning so much!

From the text of the deal itself? All the nuclear restrictions were for "15 years", and some for 10 years. After that? Unclear.

Surprised at the downvotes - read the text for yourself: http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2165388-iran-deal-tex... search for 15 years, it's the plain fact of the matter, not some "talking point".
It's not either or. It's safe to assume the vast majority of TSLA shorts believe the stock is overvalued. In addition, some minority of shorts take overt actions to hurt the company's share value.

This is...disgusting. I was speaking of applications I have personally worked on; the teams/organizations I have worked with were concerned about performance (and measured it with regression testing). I suspect the oversized responses and cherry-picking are a result of back end and client being responsibilities of independent teams and client team is told "use this pre-existing kitchen-sink endpoint".

Being on the wrong side of us sanctions is not a happy place.
As the comment above you alluded to, and as it's been evidenced many times, it is not enough to affect change. These aren't "side effects", the poorest feel the main effect of the sanctions.
You are completely wrong, in my experience. I just recently had a chat with my 80 year old mum, and SHE was shocked and unhappy to find that google tracks her search history, let alone everything else.

I found myself in the unexpected position of trying to explain why (IMO) it was ok and not a big deal that they did that. I dont know whether I convinced her.

People assume they have privacy when they are alone. Its that simple.

IMO its not ok for any company to change that basic private-when-alone without a very simple, very clear explanation.
Not me.

But I suspect it's related to this:

Shorting Tesla actually pays a rebate right now, because the stock is cheaper to borrow than the interest paid on the cash proceeds from selling it up front.
Apparently there's a bit more to that. Tesla is very leveraged right now and apparently it would be an issue if the share price dropped too much, forcing Tesla to do some sort of liquidity event?

So the big short sellers are trying to force the share prices down enough that Tesla is forced to deal with this, which would push the share prices down even more and let them profit hugely.

It's not bonkers at all. Musk's strategy from the beginning has been hype-driven. This gives him low cost of marketing and low cost of capital. But the downside is that the stock will appear overvalued to observers who don't buy the hype.

This would be true even if things were going well and Musk were going from strength to strength. But Tesla has had a whole raft of problems, many of them self-inflicted. This is catnip to shorts.

Further, part of Musk's strategy has been to bank on the genius-founder stereotype. It has clearly paid off as well; I'd bet that that there's an order-of-magnitude difference between the percentage of people who can name Tesla's CEO and that of any other car company. But again, it's risky; if Musk quit or were forced out, confidence in the company would collapse. And he has made a number of unforced errors; no other car company CEO is in dutch with the SEC. This kind of risk is also hugely appealing to shorts.

It's also worth noting that the shorts were right. Tesla's managed to lose half its value from the peak, and it's still down something like 30%. Some of them have surely made a ton of money.
A little bit tangential to this: bushwalking at night can be a very beautiful experience. I remember doing a ~15km section of the Abel Tasman track in New Zealand during the night so as to catch the early morning low tide for a tidal river crossing. It was glorious being on the track (and briefly losing it at one point), tramping under the night sky.
I think the idealistic idea is that it's a bit of "to each, according to their needs" -- people happy to support each other's needs. Though there are also less-idealistic reasons organizations do it, and why the laws had to be made.

The most ideal would be that most all the desirable things (work from home, quiet office, standing desk, good chair, flexible hours, etc.) would be offered to everyone, and then there's no special accommodation needed in most cases -- because everyone has those options to use at their discretion. It would also be more considerate of those who need something rather than prefer it -- don't make them ask, don't make them have to talk about something they might not want to talk about, don't single them out.

I'm lucky to not need any special accommodation now, but I'd value an environment that gave me those options, and I'd appreciate how respectful and supportive that is of everyone.

In any case, I'm glad that at least people who know they need special accommodation can often get it, thanks to laws. I just wish they and others usually didn't have to even mention it.
Also, current AP doesn’t support stopping at lights. The best it does is blare alarms if it thinks you are going to blow one.

You are doing a great job answering these questions. Love your project, nice work.
Until recently, everyone has lived near the border of starvation, and not had an opportunity to get obese.

Since the agricultural revolution, carbs are what we have been able to mass produce, and therefore breed ourselves to greater numbers on. That it probably hasn't been the ideal diet for us is a distant secondary concern.

Now that we're finally overproducing food, we actually are getting obese on the carb diet. Coincidence? Maybe.
