I don't think dropping someone as a customer on your platform meets the bar for exercising editorial control over content. CF specifically dropped one customer because they were trying to imply that being hosted by CF was an endorsement of their views.

This would be an unproductive outcome. There's really no point in allowing CDNs to be sued for the content they distribute except as a mechanism to force them to take unsavory customers to maintain their ability to not be sued. Why is it a problem that in your view, platforms can 'enjoy' the benefits of both?

Why can't a platform not endorse the content of their customers while also not doing business with people they don't like? It doesn't seem to be a contradiction -- a freelancer who refuses an offer to build a neo-nazi site is not suddenly endorsing the content that lives on all the other sites they built.
I think for ratings the whole scale 1-5 should be used and a user should be able to rate with a decimal point of precision. And show ratings to the second decimal place. I think that would remove reviews like "great 5 stars" or poor service 1 star.

Average reviews should be added. I don't think every restaurant is perfectly average. Some are better, do a dish particularly well, have some thing else that might just slightly set it apart. Others might be average but unusually cheap. All of that can be part of an average review and influence a rating and help people find meals they're in the mood for.
1 is mostly things that the publication team is asking authors to fix by email for modern journals. Most journals will have a template for these emails, or stick them at the back of the reviewer requests.

2 Is something that I have seen caught in peer review twice, and missed once. Again, it would usually go in a batch email to the authors of issues that need to be fixed before publication.

3 is definitely something that reviewers should be catching. I don't know of any journals (especially not open access) that check references for existence. Is the problem the use of footnotes? If so, I could see this legitimately requiring some manual labor / typesetting... But most journals forbid footnotes in their submission guidelines.

4 is quite rare in research articles, and again, would be handled by requesting the authors deal with it.

5. Would be grounds for paper rejection, as it breaks the submission guidelines for most journals. In addition, it seems like an exceptionally rare case.

Overall, I don't think one can justify an average of 10 hours per paper in manual labor (open access fees are always more than 1000 usd) based on these formatting issues...which issues are mostly handled by requesting fixes from the authors.

Then again, maybe your wife worked in the 1 percent of journals which actually print on paper, and carefully proofread for authors.

My background is mostly in medical engineering with journals up to IF10, though.

The thing you're responding to _is_ a government regulation. Specifically the EU's regulation 261/2004.

The EU has both Regulations (like this) and Directives. A Directive says that member governments need to make a law that achieves something, but leaves it to them to figure out the details. A Regulation (like 261/2004) doesn't leave it to national government, it's the same across the entire EU.

BA were required (as a condition of operating an airline anywhere in the EU) to obey these regulations.

What I am pointing out that the article talked about how they did something special to make it require consent. I don't think they have any legal grounds for preventing the use of, or could they alone pass a law.

I think you would have a hard time making this illegal in the US, as I am sure somebody will tie it to freedom of speech. If a bull horn is legal, then this for sure would also be legal.

It wold also be a legal quagmire depending on how the law would be worded. "Use of directional sound is prohibited."? Simply aiming my mouth at you is doing the same. There are also more than one way to achieve directional sound. I think it was at Fry's -- in their checkout line, they have highly directional speakers that aim down and talk to you, move a few feet either way and you no longer can hear a thing.

If you own a business, one of the worst things to manage is all the different payment systems you have to maintain. Both logistics and tax tracking. Theres a very good reason why merchant service companies exist. They still suck, but they're easier by orders of magnitude, of dealing with all the cards yourself. I can only imagine how much more difficult it can be for companies outside the states. Unless you're in Greece. Then you don't pay any taxes.

Paris-London takes 50% share because it’s 2-3x more expensive than flying if you don’t book in advance. And that’s also including the fact that this specific route also has the same level of security you’d get at the airport.

I tend to think of all creative disciplines (including game design) as both universally learnable and unteachable. They’re the class of things that fundamentally hinge on personal style, which develops only through experience.

There are certainly associated technical skills that can be taught effectively, where there’s a definite right and wrong technique. There’s also analysis, where you take an existing work and figure out how it produces the effect it does. That’s also teachable and can provide a font of inspiration of things to try, but there’s a world of difference between knowing why something works and being able to pull off the same trick yourself.

Beyond that, most classes in creative disciplines seem to be primarily a bunch of prompts to get the students to make lots of different things, and exercise their creativity.
I’ve always found the intelligence criteria for eating for not eating animals stupid (because I never thought of intelligence having relevance to ability to suffer) but the social metric is an interesting way of looking at it. I don’t think you can call socialness of a species something so related to the intelligence though, there are highly solitary species that are still very intelligent. Being kept in captivity would still be suffering for them, just for different reasons. I think the suffering of all animals matters but if I had to say between animals which one’s matters more I’m not sure I would differentiate by more than lifespan.

> Powershell, friend. Changing execution policy requires privileges. Guess what SYSTEM gives you?

PowerShell execution policy is stupid easy to bypass. You simply pass the '–ExecutionPolicy Bypass' parameter when launching the script. Of course, since you already have complete control of the user account, being able to run PowerShell isn't nearly as big a deal as the fact that you can run anything at all.

> Plus you can disable windows defender and install any nasty things you want!

Windows defender, like pretty much all AV software, is crap anyways and won't detect most of the things you'd be interested in doing. It's a low-effort screen for well known malware. Case in point: it didn't catch your malicious installer when Steam downloaded and ran it in this scenario did it?

> Pretty sure you’d need system to snoop/inject traffic too.

That may well be true, but considering I pretty much already have full control of the user account and can therefore do everything it can do on the network without injecting anything, I'm not sure what is gained.

> No fucking shit, but you don’t let them walk into system just because they got user.

Eh, it isn't really worth my effort to try and prevent it when all they'll have to do is fire a UAC prompt the user will almost certainly just click through anyway. Especially considering what little (basically nothing) it gets the attacker.

> Because they don’t know Steam is insecure by design! They trust Steam! That’s the problem! This isn’t common knowledge and since Steam won’t fix it, it needs to become common knowledge.

So here's the scenario you're talking about: A user has installed Steam on their work computer. They use Steam to download an installer that is actually malicious and this fact has not been caught by Valve yet. Steam, who's entire purpose is to install games, runs the installer. Consequently, the user account is now owned by an attacker.

...And even if this vulnerability were patched ALL OF THE ABOVE WOULD STILL BE TRUE!

Many of the large shallow lakes in the Prairie provinces are drying up as well. For example Miquelon lake in central Alberta has shrunk by at least half since European settlers arrived. Not to mention the fact that many smaller lakes are now overgrown with algal blooms during the summer months due to fertilizer runoff. There is very little natural prairie left in the west, and pressure from agriculture and development are growing every year.

Question is, is there anything we can do about it, or is it just the price we pay for human development? When you look at the ecological sterilization that happened in places like the San Joaquin valley in California things start to look pretty bleak.
Your comments were misleading, even if you want to argue they were on point. I know that you're knowledgable about the kernel, I ready your other comments. The following comments are just not true, except in bizarro world where all code must be in the kernel:

- "Readahead... needs to be buffered"

- "reading unbuffered (ie. O_DIRECT)... you cannot read ahead"

Good application code needs to work around kernel limitations all the time. Your suggestion of fadvise is reasonable, except in practice fadvise rarely makes a measurable difference. The only way to get what you really want is to code it the way you want it, and fortunately, there are multiple ways to do that.
I think the moral question of whether raising and killing animals for slaughter is a bit too hard for me to just set aside, to be honest.

And saying vegans are not being sustainable for eating "exotic" food seems absurd to me, hardly any meat eater eats local food, especially if you consider animal feed of the meat, milk and leather you use. That's not an argument against vegans or vegetarians, but an argument against people who don't eat locally produced products (on both sides).

I encountered a similar problem in a c++ codebase and the debugging logs it produced. There was an error which was being reported in the logs as "weak ptr expired" or somethings like that. I grepped for it the whole source code (a gigantic project). No results. Going back and forth several times. Feeling stupid beyond imagination. Then I copy-pasted what was actually printed in the logs into my grep query (previously I was typing it in manually). It quickly found a match. Turns out someone wrote "weak ptr" as "week ptr". Everyone in the team had a good laugh.
Another thing that's not immediately obvious is the longer your search string is in grep, the faster it will find your results.

Is there a legal counter to this? Frivolous copyrighting?
True. At the same time, travel has gotten so much cheaper and accessible that it’s really impossible to go anywhere and enjoy it in peace. I chose to go to Paris in dead winter to avoid the summer crowds - the lines were not any shorter. It feels like a long time ago but only a few years ago I was visiting a few national parks and the hiking trails were modestly crowded. In comparison they are all overrun now.
The difference I’d say is AirBNB. My choices used to be shitty motels or campgrounds that never have space. Now, it’s a beautiful home by a stream just outside the park in a ranch. Shared with a few friends the cost is a fraction of a hotel room.
Hotels were - not sure fully intentionally - used as a mechanism to enforce visitor counts. With AirBnB that equation is out the window. With low cost airlines making flights cheaper and better fuel efficient cars making driving cheaper and AirBnB making stay cheaper and inexpensive, the tourism sector is exploding.
I do not think this is sustainable. As with the other cases, these things are externalising the cost to the cities and the parks do deal with.
In 2014, the federal governing party in Canada was the Conservative Party, renowned for both their extreme hostility to science-based environmental policy, and their friendliness to large businesses in the prairie provinces. No-one with any familiarity with Canadian federal politics expected the Conservatives to lift a finger to ban neonics. This is the same party that made is a fireable offense for federally-employed scientists to speak to the media without prior approval.

What's become unexpectedly shameful is the new government under the Liberal Party elected in late 2015. That party keeps claiming to be in favour of science-based policy, but they've dragged their feet on the neonic issue just as much as the Conservatives. The general consensus is that the Liberals are worried about rural votes in the prairie provinces in the general election to be held later this year, so they're trying to avoid any action that could be perceived as "anti farmer".

Banks were subsidized or required by the state to issue subprime mortgage loans to the poor; people with terrible credit who would have no chance of actually paying the loan back. The Federal Nation Mortgage Association would then give banks guarantees that they would buy the loans from them if they needed funds. So these terrible loans that no bank would ever issue were suddenly considered to be a reasonable investment, because the federal government would just buy them out. Something very similar is currently happening with student loans. This is why lenders will gladly loan 90k to somebody to major in Gender Studies, where the major itself provides very few financial prospects for the loan being paid back.

That system is not "markets." That system is the federal government saying "Americans need to be homeowners and Americans need to be college graduates," with no consideration for whether or not the loans will ever be paid back. So then of course banks will say, "uhh, okay, ya I'll give you a loan. The government has my back."

And then when all the people failed to pay back their mortgages, the banks get "bailed out" for doing shitty loans...but they were "bailed out" from the get go, that's literally WHY they issued the loans in the first place. People will say "oh look at these free market capitalist looking for social welfare," but again, these loans were only issues as a means of actual social welfare for the poor, subsidized by the federal government.
In that case, the baseline was directly ripped off, it wasn’t just “sounded similar”, it was an actual sample.
Octant: A tool to help devs understand what's going on in a Kubernetes cluster
I just spent 3 weeks driving the American Midwest. There is vast grasslands uninhabited by anything but cows, and plenty of space for a great many more thereof. The environmental impact is negligible, as they turn a small fraction of human-inedible natural foliage into nutrients/calories/proteins with practically no other effects.

Earth can bear a much larger livestock load than y'all give it credit for.
My personal general rule is once you take money for the product/service you should form the LLC, e.g. money should be deposited into a business account not your personal account.

I didn't always have that rule, I used to do a few deals first and put the money in a separate personal account with maybe a DBA under my name at most (many times without that) then if things were looking good I'd move forward -- this is a good way to test. But with the way the U.S. is and how litigious everyone is, the small price to gain a little extra buffer in the form of the LLC is not worth delaying. Part of this will depend on the value of the product/service and who it is serving. But basically, if you take money and something happens you could personally become liable for it if you took the money personally. If you are 25 and have no responsibilities or assets then that's probably not a big deal. If you are 40 have a family, kids, house, assets etc the math changes. So it is really up to you on risk aversion.
I believe one essential step in the right direction would be to create an ad platform that allows companies to create and developers to show truly passive ads. To specify what I mean: Display a jpeg with the advertisement and link it to a website using a referral ID in the URL. This referral ID would obviously only be a vague indicator of success, but I believe that even though targeted advertising might be more effective, there is a market for 'universal advertising' (for commodities most people use like toothpaste, cars or breakfast cereal).

The revenue model might be slightly different from platforms like AdSense, where instead of paying per 1M impressions you would maybe choose a newspaper like model where the advertiser pays a fixed price depending on the property that displays the ad.

And the cherry on top: All of this would be GDPR compliant right out of the box, so no hour-long fiddling with the ToS agreement.

I wonder at what point similarities with past works becomes inevitable. There's only a finite amount of original music out there, especially if you're talking about the length of an average riff or motif, leave out a lot of the more extreme attempts of contemporary art music, and stick to what sounds pleasing in popular music genres. And the output of number of musical compositions seems only to be increasing. An interesting short story in this vein is http://www.baen.com/chapters/W200011/0671319744___1.htm

A bit on the melodramatic side, but explores the same general point.
That makes it sound like they went too small and decided that was a mistake. What really happened was Smartphones came out. Which required a certain size just to support the UI. Then Tablets came out to bridge the gap between smartphones and laptops. So people could start using them for watching YouTube/Netflix or reading e-books. Then the Phablet came out. Which was a bridge between the phone and the tablet. So you could still watch movies and stuff but still fit the thing in your pocket.
That’s the heterogeneity in the process.

Maybe the diversity is a good thing, but sounds more like stronger/weaker regulatory capture rather than differing patient safety/access goals.
