> Who has that right? You, or your body?

You are your body, they are the same thing unless you can stop being in your body this is a moot point.

> If you don't want to live, should you be forced to?

Rights are freedoms in order to have the right to do something you must also have the right to not do it, or it's not a right.

> How do you trade lives for lives?

Well you don't thats the point. If you don't respect some one else's rights then there is no reason for them to respect yours.

> Do you pull the trigger and save innocent victims

The whole good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns is a myth according to FBI statistics.[1]

The point saintPirelli made is that people focus too much on hypotheticals (what if we can stop shooters by shooting them) rather than accepting the right and focusing on the reality(how do we prevent shooters from killing people), your argument demonstrates this.

It is incredibly common for kids to be alone in cities in the US. I can look out my window right now and see 2 children playing in a park with no supervision.

On my train commute every morning there were school children who get off at my stop because it’s where their school is. Their rides happen at reduced fares as well.

The trope rings very false to me and seems to be about one particular demographic (white and suburban).

If there is an increase in over watching our children it’s because we’ve over indexed on cars, not the reverse.
Microsoft waves $300k at hackers, says 'do your worst' to Azure Security Lab
What the fuck...

I've witnessed way too many girls pissing outside to believe that drivel. And men don't just decide to piss anywhere like a dog unless they really need to go.

Look, if you gotta go, you gotta go. There's plenty of public toilets in the EU, but no one is going to say anything if you do it by some tree or bush, regardless of your gender.
This. TagTime (which is Free, made by the Beeminder people, and plays nicely with their goal tracking product if you want it) is scheduled such that you are equally likely to be 'pinged' at any moment as any other, with an expected value of every 45 minutes.

I have been using it for the past five years or so. Apart from being a gloriously hacky bundle of perl scripts (and not playing wonderfully well when run on multiple machines) I've found it perfect. There's also an Android version nowadays I think, though.

That blog link explains it well.

You can do things from smashing zombies' skulls with a sword to building a replica of your own house to building an ATARI emulator in Minecraft. How is that not exciting?

I live in Beijing and I spend 20 mins riding share bike to work every day. I don't drive because I don't find it useful. I have a driving license but almost never used it, there are many, many people also having a license without driving cars.

Almost colleagues owning cars don't drive on workdays because the metro is good (crowed by less crowded than driving and parking).

It's not just one city like NYC, at least all moderate to major cities in China are friendly if you don't have a car.

I've been to SF and the silicon valley, and I'm pretty annoyed I almost cannot go anywhere without driving.

The difference might be related to how do people build the city, in order to make one way to suck less than another. In Beijing, it seems to be not driving suck less than driving.
Good point. I'll definitely give it for people to try in the next couple weeks.
I'm not sure what the laws are in NZ, but can a non-citizen vote in a NZ election? If noone checks for any sort if ID, how do they ensure that there isn't any fraud? In a democracy, I'm honestly not convinced that 'its not that big of a problem yet' is a sufficient answer
If you're as big as Backblaze, it doesn't even matter if 2% of your drives fail (otherwise they wouldn't use Seagate)

They have the data spread out across enough drives with enough redundancy to live with it.
There's a whole world outside of European history
Atleast according to Kachelmann, a german weather reported with some controversy behind him, stated that most heat-related deaths could have been prevented if moisture had been lower; if people who only vent during the night would pull in extra moisture and just make it hard on them. He recommends to always leave the window open so fresh air can move in and out.

(Note that this is in germany, we don't have regular AC so leaving your window open or tilting it is the only option)

But yeah, at WBT 35°C you're going to start running into thermal problems. At that point your best bet is lots of cold water (careful you don't overhydrate, that's equally dangerous as dehydration in the heat), that can probably push you to 37C WBT.

But beyond that it's basically a race against stress shutdown of your body to get some effective method of cooling going.
Clients with any kind of pricing power demand billing in tenths. They hate to see "Phonecall - .25hr"
I've had a similar experience with Seagate - the usual failure is bad-blocks or a huge number of G-list remaps while SMART claims the drive is fine. Also had a Barracuda 7200 with the bricking firmware bug and a 7200 which suffered spindle-lock on a test bench and launched itself off the bench, smashing the mounts and cables in the process and came to rest in my lap.

I could deal with their quality issues if their RMA process was at least reasonable. With WDC it's a credit card number (if you want an advance RMA) and a web form to request an RMA. With Seagate it's a game to try and buy "official" packaging, a tooth-and-nail fight for an RMA number and a long wait.

They actually refused to RMA the spindle-locked drive because the PCB was damaged (well, no duh). Thankfully the supplier was more lenient.
The performance improvements are real, for some people. Yet Optifine causes issues for others. It also requires a fair bit of configuration to get optimal.

Mojang needs to keep things simple, functional and consistent for the vast majority of their players. They choose the best defaults that work for the most number of people.

Also, modded players will let you know just how badly Optifine breaks rendering calls. The first step of any troubleshooting is checking if Optifine is installed.
Tuesday: Religious Oppressors
They did an AMA on Reddit a few months ago[0]. I remember this AMA in particular because they thoroughly explained why they designed some features in certain ways. Overall they said their target customers are the ones with absolutely no IT knowledge.

I guess this part from one of their answers fits your complaint quite well:
But here is the thing -> YOU can work around this problem, the naive customers CANNOT. Honestly, they are too computer-illiterate. But even computer illiterate people deserve to have their files backed up, and they are the target market for Backblaze Personal Backup. [1]

From this point of view, I guess a "delete" button could be fatal for some of the older folks out there. But I don't use Backblaze, I don't know if my comparison makes sense and we both talk about the same thing. The Reddit quotes refers to their "Backblaze Personal Backup".

Great... another way to waste electricity for some stupid reason.
Yup. The quality standards on opinion pieces, even at NYT has drastically decreased.
Let me turn back some questions to you:

1. What's not enough in this current version for you to pay? What would make you be able to pay?

2. Do you have this problem recurrently? i.e. going from design to code.

Probably because it's not a "security blunder of the highest order".

Equifax was a "security blunder of the highest order". This is an it-happened-to-Facebook-and-Google "shit, some sensitive info ended up in internal logs" blunder where there's no reason to suspect the PINs actually leaked out of the company. And even if they did, a PIN on its own is not sensitive information - unlike a password, it's just a 4 digit number, there's only 10000 of them. And unlike SSNs, they can be changed. I can tell you my PIN is 1077 and what on earth are you going to do with that information?
There's plenty of actual racism around, which of course I don't like, but most of this is limited to /b/ and /pol/ which are not representative of the entire site. They just happen to get in the spotlight more because of how controversial they can be.

A lot of people on 4chan view these boards as a sort of filter to scare away outsiders. The majority of the site isn't nearly that edgy and largely discuss the various relevant topics for each respective board.

For what is worth, Haberman does not seem to exist on OpenStreetMap, that would tend to give credence to the theory that it is not a local name.

Using Twitter with Python and Tweepy
Apple have solved some of it by limiting the maximum number of processes before the user get a warning and have to close some of the old. Not sure if they handle memory any better, from my experience; no.
That very much depends on the city. I had no problem getting around Paris/Amsterdam/London/Rome when I was traveling with my friend's family (3 kids). A car would have been a bigger nightmare with traffic and parking and we weren't even staying in the central areas.

But it also depends on how and where you live and work specifically. If I lived in a many of the areas outside of the Périphérique in Paris, not owning a car would probably impact your overall quality of life, but I'd still not want to take it into the city.

This describes my general Linux experience well: A very stable kernel, with which I never had serious issues on a headless server. But applications in the userspace (apart from the standard GNU packages) are usually a tossup anywhere between system-crashing garbage and perfectly working pieces of software.

Yes, this is Linux. I say "can't run" but what I really mean is that things start to get slower after a while until eventually it becomes annoying. This is probably in part due to my habit of accumulating open tabs and windows, and also because I run KDE which is pretty memory-hungry on its own. If you don't do this or you're the sort of person who shuts down your computer every night you might never see this problem so it's hard to compare just based on the list of programs.
I feel like you're offering a false choice. The point of the tariffs is to punish China for a trade deficit and make companies produce things more in the United States according to this administration. Companies aren't changing things as a result of these tariffs as far as I can tell. So currently, consumers and producers are being punished and the administration isn't getting what it wants either. I just struggle to see the point. Personally I think it's more of an anti-globalist segment of the administration, as a trade deficit isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I would love to know that, too. Geographical distance to my data - and the potential bandwidth loss incurred by that - is what's keeping me personally (and, potentially, my current employer) from becoming a paying customer.
Digital Textbooks Are Forcing a Radical Shift in Higher Ed
> It is because qualifying the evil is best done out of the license

The example in case does not qualify what counts as evil, only that it bans evil. It thus leaves it to others, outside of the license, to qualify evil when they determine how the license applies. Thus the license the FSF rejects does what you claim should be done.

>The DFSG doesn't prevent you from doing evil with a free software and face the postjudicial consequence at all.

It does suggest not using licenses that would increase the legal consequences of doing such evil.

>because 8chan was blamed because it didn't even acknowledge the post-judgement.

Does encryption acknowledge the post-judgment of all the evil it enables?
This is why I hate when people say "we were promised flying cars, we got 140 characters". We totally have flying cars! We just don't use them because learning to fly safely is way too expensive and impractical for most people. (The relevant corollary being, if it wasn't, more producers would enter the market and flying cars would become affordable.)
Interesting article with excellent advice. I would've loved to read some content around communities where you can validate your MVP, get feedback, and even prospective customers.

When we started https://draftss.com we got our initial 10+ customers with showcasing our product on these communities that landed us with $3000+ in revenues within the first month itself.
I have been quite passive with my customers, probably a flaw in my engineering decision making.

But I have received little feedback from paid customers. They are quiet.

I also think the way you treat customers has a lot to do with the cost of the product. Sell a 10$ book, at most you can hope they buy book 2.
Whole Connectome and Locomotion Model for C. Elegans
Yeah, I think it's an interesting read although I disagree with some of her remarks. She's right that in the past we just threw fertilizer at plants (more is better until you burn the ground), and she's right that increasingly US farmers for instance are practicing targeted fertilization and maybe can make up for some of this.

She doesn't seem to be taking into account the situations in the poorest parts of the world, where this is not being done -- and where rice is a far more important staple than in the US. She says, "Folks who are getting all their nutrients from plants generally eat at least some concentrated forms of plants, especially concentrated plant proteins: tempeh, seitan, nut milks & butters, etc." Um, I was literally talking on Thursday with a woman who was describing her childhood and the comfort she takes in a big warm bowl of rice, which was a majority of her meals growing up because she could cook it in the rice cooker without her parents' help while they were at work. My spouse also grew up eating big bowls of plain rice, although he did get to put soy sauce/ketchup/sriracha on top. They sure as (&^ were not eating seitan and tempeh on top. I can walk down to the Whole Foods 10 blocks away and buy some, uh, spirulina and salmon and whatever the cool kids are eating these days... chia? or is that passe? but that's not the situation for subsistence farmers or the vast swathes of people in cities living on the above-referenced bowls of imported rice. And these vast swathes of people often don't have great healthcare access, either, and so are more vulnerable to some of the cascading problems that result.

Last, I don't know how much she knows about nutrition. I'm glad she pays attention to iron content in the tweet series... but that's not the sum of micronutrients. The roles of vitamin D, chromium, biotin, and thiamine in development of type 2 diabetes are discussed here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3313629/ Micronutrient deficiency and obesity has been in the nutrition literature since at least 2009 at this point. I could link you to 10 more peer-reviewed articles but they're all behind a paywall :( Here at least is an editorial from 2010 with some review of articles recent at the time, and in particular some remarks about micronutrients and "clinically relevant weight loss" in Asians and perhaps others.

Anyhow, thanks for defending the tweet thread :) It was interesting!
Atm I'm fighting a 25C/80% humidity weather, during the heatwave the worst was 44C/70% (measured on my own station, officially my location had 39C, and it could have been higher but my sensor isn't designed for more than 45C)

Okay, my bad. You have handled it in a drop down. I wonder if the notification can have the last item to save a click.

The web UI button specifically says the bucket cannot be deleted because it has contents.
Eh, if anything maybe invite one or two people for usability testing. Otherwise, having that many data points this early on might hurt your business.
Depends upon the extent of such actions. Throwing someone into prison until they give you a password they might not have is a problem. Wire tapping their phone after getting a warrant to see if they discuss the password with another person is not. Without a warrant is once again a problem.

To me it's a lot like blaming the violence on video games, and I'm not even saying they aren't a cause, they just aren't the most important cause right now. This is not an unsolvable problem, we're just getting bogged down on the wrong things when we NEED to laser focus efforts on the biggest problems first. Rather than pat ourselves on the back for taking down what is basically just an open forum for communication we need to focus on bipartisan legislative measures to address mental healthcare deficiencies and at least make it a little harder for people to get a gun.

I don't get why it's so easy for "bad" people on the site to manipulate people into subscribing to these hateful ideologies but it's impossible for "good" people to pull them back out.

I strongly believe forcing them further underground will only result in more violence long term.
Maybe the browser should try to discard some cached data when the system is out of memory. Then some things in the browser would be slower, but the operating system wouldn't hang.
You can actually adjust the oom_score on those long lived important processes to hinder OOM to kill them.
I know the term "fraud" is used throughout the article, but is this actually fraud in the legal sense? (I assume not).

I certainly don't see it as anything approaching fraud in the ethical sense. Advertisers are paying for clicks / "views", and that's what they're getting. If people want to game that system I see that as entirely fair game.
While... blunt... your comment is exactly right. I don't mention the definition of degree of polynomial when I write an algebraic geometry paper. The knowledge that CO2 increases yields is universal among scientists reading this paper.
Cloudflare does way more than just cache pages. As I said, they can also filter requests, even going so far in extreme cases as to use a captcha to validate that the one making the request is human before forwarding the request upstream to the origin server.

I've never used 8Chan, but my understanding is that it's a simple forum site, like 4Chan. That seems at a cursory glance to be feasible to run in a distributed manner; though I guess it depends on how the application itself is architected. That's kinda irrelevant though, since as I just explained a well designed CDN like Cloudflare can remove a lot of the need for the site itself to implement a distributed infrastructure. (At least so long as DDOS is the cause of your scaling issue, and not legitimate traffic.)

Here's a video on deleting a bucket with a large number objects I just watched & found informative. It basically says something like you disable versioning, expire objects after 1 day, delete deletion markers, and delete deleted deletion markers (getting a little meta there).

Yes and no. Your explanation looks like an excuse for conspiracy theorists.

It was kept secret because it looks like nothing much happened, nobody nor the plane was harmed. I've seen weird things I can't explain, and I "kept them secret" because most probably, nothing very interesting (like E.T. landing) or serious (like people getting killed) happened.

Regarding the news, as complete information is impossible, the system is some sort of Chinese whispers game with multiple levels of filtering through multiple conflicting choices providing only a very remote glimpse of the real thing. There's nothing much we can do about it (except getting to the source and being very thorough on matters that you really care about, and live with the fact that you mostly know nothing).

Consider climate change: Comes a new IPCC report. It's a digest of millions of papers from various sources and sciences (no one is really called a "climatologist": climate science is made by oceanologists, glaciologists, wheather specialists, etc). IPCC writes a 4000 pages report (100x or 1000x reduction from the source material). From this report, a 40 pages digest is made. Newspapers write (and people read) half-page articles about the new IPCC report, by reading this 40 pages digest and little else. As almost nobody reads more than partial reports of this 40-pages digest, unsurprisingly misunderstanding and ignorance prevail.
