It's using whatever means to apply pressure to a foreign government in order to make them capitulate on a trade matter. In the old days it was done with guns, then later with overt rules set forth by dominant parties, and now via internal policy decisions that affect outside parties. It's simply applying the same pressure by more subtle means as time goes on. China is the only one so far taking it to its logical conclusion: giving the outward appearance of doing everything properly while secretly discriminating against and sabotaging your opponent. Western democracies do this internally, but not to such a degree internationally (yet).

And in fact they may not do it ever, because such tactics require an opaque bureaucratic system and large-scale centralized control that Western-style countries simply don't have.
> The real problem here was Red Hat...

Agreed. This is Red Hat's mentality with a lot of it's product base. Poettering and Dan Walsh come to mind with regard to the elitist attitude in their respective corners. But just wait, this is going to get worse. Now that IBM owns them they will push this agenda even harder. The new game is controlling a majority of devs in well-known or strategic projects so the overarching enterprise can push an agenda. I don't think we're seeing the teeth quite yet, but give IBM a few years and my guess is it becomes very obvious.

I'm surprised the patient went weeks without getting treatment for an obviously serious infection. When a friend had her knee replaced she received detailed instructions on recognising infections, including taking her own temperature twice a day, so it could be treated before it had any time to develop.
> when was the last time you saw 100°C written on a device?

Daily. Ovens in Europe typically will have a temperature range that's something like 50-400 C. I've never seen oven without a 100 C setting. Sauna thermometers will typically go from ~20 degrees to either 120 or 140 Celsius.
It also highlights one of the most important characteristics of energy grids: frequency sensitivity.
What frameworks do you use that think about this? All the “big ones” that I know of, Bootstrap, Foundation, ... have really standard 12 column grids.
Worked fine to export/import from 4.10 so I bet this is a limitation of the OPML export in 3.3.2 rather than an issues in 5.0.
Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks
Sorry, but the electrical grid is not built like a Netflix server farm. Its explicit purpose is to provide reliability to the customer, so the customer will not have to invest into mitigations for network failures, because it is much cheaper, more economical and technically much more feasible to make these investments in the network than individually on every single customer location. The only exception are some very specific customers for which the provided amount of reliability is not enough - these need to increase the reliability by investing in additional failsafes, and are of course responsible for testing these by themselves (if they'd like to have random network outages performed, they are free to do so, because any consequences from these harsh tests are in their responsibility anyway, just as any consequences from not doing proper tests and thus having the safeguards potentially fail in an emergency).

Netflix also would never intentionally break my FireTV box, which I use to watch Netflix, just to ensure that I have a backup in place (which I don't, because I don't care THAT much about Netflix availability).

[edit] Now that I think about it...the purpose of the Netflix server farm is also to provide reliability to the customer, so it's actually comparable to a certain degree. It's just that the possible outcome of a mitigation failure in the Netflix server farm is limited to some people not watching Netflix for a few minutes, while the possible outcome of a power outage even for residential customers are usually far worse, let alone industrial or health customers. This allows Netflix to take the limited risk of intentionally breaking internals in their infrastructure, because the worst that can happen is them having to excuse themselves to some customers for a service interruption. Also, no one expects them to submit a report describing how it came to those interruptions, so they don't need to admit that they were the result of intentional self-inflicted disruptions (which sounds really crazy and irresponsible to pretty much all consumers out there). With electrical grid operators, the stakes are infinitely higher, and they are legally required to investigate any bigger problems and report details about their origins to both government authorities and customers. And you can be sure that "oh we just intentionally dropped 5% of the network to see if we get a full blackout or if our failsafes work" would not be an acceptable excuse to any of these two.
The UK has the 'pay commercial users who are able to voluntarily reduce demand' system too, and that was part of the initial response to the frequency drop, I think. The problem is that the volume of demand you can get rid of this way isn't necessarily enough to be sufficient -- if you need to dump 10 or 20% of demand and especially if it needs to be spread evenly over the grid then it's going to be hard to do without disconnecting people involuntarily.

I wouldn't be surprised if we could do better in the volume of demand we could reduce on demand, especially with smarter technology, though. At some point the question is whether the extra complexity and infrastructure is cost-effective to avoid once-a-decade events on the scale of this one, which probably 90% of the UK would never have noticed unless they read the news...
Would he generally install software if he sees an ad for it, or was that special because it wasn't obvious that it was an ad and therefore had more trust (like some security product company saying "your door is unsafe, buy our product" vs your friend telling you that your door is unsafe)?

It's strange that Chrome doesn't take the bookmark, bookmark-bar status and new-tab-page from firefox - if they did, he likely wouldn't have noticed and called you.
A small frequency drop doesn't have a major impact to home users as well, but it's a symptom of a generation/consumption mismatch - the frequency dropping from 50 to 48.8 is a sign that the consumption is draining energy that's not generated by essentially taking it from the inertia of the major generators, and temporarily reducing consumption as all the large phase-linked motors are suddenly slowing down slightly... both of which are temporary, short-term, unsustainable effects.

The emergency response kicks in not because 49 is innately very bad and 48 is some horrible evil by itself, it kicks in because if you do nothing, then in a few minutes you're going to see 40, 30 and the whole system is going to stop - or, more realistically, every connected subsystem (both generators and consumers) will have their emergency responses kicking in and either shutting down or automatically disconnecting from your system.
Since you work at a ML consultancy company, may I ask you a question? How do you sell this service to customers? How do they find you (what search terms do they use, how do they reach you), how do you find them? My experience is that potential clients don't go looking for "I need someone who can do AI", but they have a concrete problem they need to fix (or more likely, they don't even know that they have a problem or that it can be optimized).

Interesting, that could be something not too complicated to change on Firefox, I'll try to contribute when I'll have a bit more time. At least that's the first time I see something I could realistically improve.
Not all of them. Just the ones that shaft workers. If your business has nothing to hide it has nothing to fear.
There is some version of reality in which this was the point, if we are more charitable to the attackers motives
I am sorry, I cannot help there, I would love a resource like that as well. Please post if you ever find something that fits that bill.
If you do `sudo apache start` in production, how do you do it? Log in to the server and type it in?

What about log and metrics agents, how do you start and configure those?

Also why are you so judgemental? I don't want Debian and rhel to diverge because I have clients who use both and I don't want to have to do more work to support both.

My PhD (before 10+ years) was in video search and one of the proposed methods for video comparison was using the shot durations of the video. Notice that with shots I refer to cuts in the camera flow, IIRC hollywood movies have a such a shot cut every 4 seconds as an average (for example when two people talk the camera will move from one person to the other).

I remember that I used two techniques for extracting scene cuts:

* Difference in the brightness (Y) histogram of the YUV video between frames; when that difference is more than a threshold there's a scene cut

* Counting the number of Intra macroblocks per frame on an H.264 encoded video; if that number was more than a threshold then there's a scene cut
Quite readable on Firefox preview, if you're open to giving that a shot.
I'm talking about any parking violations, from not paying metered, to parking in the no parking zones, to double parking etc.

> if they're double-parking, do they do this because there isn't a reserved dropoff space? what do USPS trucks do when they deliver to these buildings?

USPS delivers significantly less often - typically there's going to be a single delivery vehicle for all USPS services, while FedEx/UPS/DHL will have a vehicle per class of service.

USPS also double parks, parks in a non-parking spots but they tend not to have tickets on their vehicles.
A couple years ago I bought an almost new video iPod circa 2005. It was my first Apple product so I didn't have the cable to charge it. I went to a Sprint store near my apartment and asked if they had a cable. They told me that they didn't carry "budget items" and that maybe I should try the Walgreen's next door. Ten short years this iPod was center stage at an Apple keynote and considered the best in the world, and it still worked just as well as it did when it came out. It just goes to show that the value of tech is relative to the times.

I'm waiting for the day when I can pick up a cheap Tesla that "only" goes 200 miles and "doesn't even drive itself". I'm already seeing Craigslist ads for Teslas where they have to state no autopilot. No car ad five years ago that would have to say that.
You don't need Paxos at all. In fact, you should read Liskov's paper
https://www.yodaiken.com/2018/07/16/practical-uses-of-synchr...

The key is to decide whether timeouts work in your network. If timeouts don't work and you don't have some reliable message protocol, then nothing works. If timeouts do work, then a completely simple obvious brute force algorithm works. In this algorithm, we have leader/coordinator election. The leader then polls the acceptors for the highest sequence number of a committed message and recovers all missing messages. Then the leader starts sending new messages - increasing the same sequence number. The old leader, if it recovers should know that its lease as leader has timed out, but if it does not it cannot get acks from a majority of acceptors for a new message because a majority have signed on to the new leader. There is no "value" competition - only a competition for the id of the new leader during leader election. We don't need Paxos at all.
No, systemd does many other things than just managing the system. It provides time, dns, dhcp and other services. None of which is required for achiving what it is suppsed to do: managing unix services.
At some point the price is infeasible, and the difference from impossible becomes a futile exercise in hypotheticals.
Everyone's talking about what Firefox should do to beat chrome, and meanwhile here I am still suffering the bug that makes it unusable for many MacBooks with retina screens set to "more space".

Start Firefox and fans are blaring in seconds, hundreds of reports, years of waiting and no solution... Maybe making it usable in one of the most common devices for devs would be a start, I've got a full building of coworkers here waiting for a fix to try to come back.

To this day none of the mail servers I’ve setup can send to verizon.net.

It’s not “hard”, but there are servers who will not accept a single message from you, rDNS, DKIM/SPF be damned. And there’s fuck-all you can do about it.
It's not 'hard', it's 'a gigantic pain in the ass' which is (in normal word use) one form of 'hard'. Which is why most sane people stopped doing it themselves say 15 years ago. Especially for the few cents you can get professional 3rd party email hosting for.

Edit: I also very much like the disingenuity of articles saying 'X isnt' hard! Just execute these 20 commands!' Duh, executing those commands isn't the problem, it's knowing which commands to execute, and the pain of having to figure out the new commands to execute 4 months later when for some reason something broke and now 20 people are twiddling their thumbs until you fix it. Screw that, running email servers is a horrible tedious pain in the ass you should almost never do yourself unless it's the sort of thing you enjoy (I've run Postfix, Qmail and Exchange servers from the mid 1990's until mid 2000's).
It looks to be a static site generator. It's surprisingly easy to weather that storm with a simple web server + static sites, it's dynamic sites using Wordpress etc. that have the most trouble.
Been using systemd since whenever it became the default on Arch. I love it. It just works and I've never had any problems with it. I'd rather use it over any arcane bash-based system any day.
No mention of RBL? Thats what makes running a mailserver cumbersome - being put on an RBL because of bad neighbours in your subnet and your emails silently failing to deliver because of said RBL.

I hope that some of the other distros follow this move of Knoppix. I have had exactly the same experience with SystemD like you. The good parts of systems: standard simple format for describing unix services instead of shell scripts. Everything else they do is just crazy. The amount of CPU it uses also crazy.

I also have a template. I use TiddlyWiki as I can then quite easily retrieve the data that I'm storing in HTML. If this habit continues, I'll probably create a home server and make sure I can journal online.

My template is more focused on being a daily questionnaire rather than a journal, but it can do both. I've done 2 analyses so far, one qualitative (about what made me most relaxed) and one quantitative (my energy levels currently correlate for 0.66 with my happiness and my stress doesn't correlate with either of them).

However, now that I've read this blog post, I think that I should create a seperate place somewhere to write journal articles (probably just TiddlyWiki as well).

At your urging, I read it. I knew nothing of this event in 2007. I have no interest in reading about people having terrible mental breakdowns when their love life spirals out of control. Why would you want to pry into this person's life? Because they were once famous? Is it really your business to have an opinion one way or another? Was this ever really news to begin with? Just because the person in question was once famous?

Maybe I'm being too hard. I've been the subject of the rumour mill before. At one point I was virtually the only foreign person that lived in the small town in Japan where I taught English (there are hundreds now -- really hard to believe). Every step I took was seen by someone. If I went out on a date, it was common knowledge to people I'd never even met. If I broke up with someone, there were people debating whose fault it was. They had never spoken a word to me in their life.

I'm pretty easy going and I know people are going to be people. They are going to talk about stuff. I get it. But, seriously: why are you urging people to read this? Why does it need to be dredged up again? So that people can get a better view? So that they can have empathy -- with a person they have never met? A person that they will almost certainly never meet?

I mean it's one thing if the person themselves had written a story about it and encouraged people to read it. Or even collaborated with the author. Or even responded to questions from the author. I get absolutely no impression that this person wants people to revisit this episode of their life. Why are you making that decision for them? Why do you suppose it is your right? Because they were once famous? Because you knew their name and decided that you wanted to know more?

I'm sorry to be so hard here, but if you want to be empathetic, just remember that a person's life is the only thing they've really got. If you make a terrible, terrible mistake in public, it's not going to be erased, but you can make their life a lot easier: just forget about it.
Inventing a message-passing API is not the way to make a replaceable component.
Yep. You end up with no nested folders and renaming folders like "Tech - Blogs". This loses a lot of choices of how to read your feeds.

It also has no sorting and adopts the iOS style lack of information with a single text entry for each item instead of sortable columns. It is really best to treat it as a new program not a sequel much like what happened to Final Cut Pro.

You cannot keep using the paid version because it stopped working for some feeds.

You can safely assume since Amazon is a US company we're talking about US pizzas, where a single pizza serves 3-5 people. Also, it's typical with American pizza to serve sides such as salad, garlic bread, pasta, fries, etc. and beverages, dessert so "2 pizza" can be read as "2 pizza plus usual sides".

The reason I chose car insurance as an example is because it has such a strong basis in law. There are so many jurisdictions that do it differently, that it would be impossible to make a judgement which way is truly discriminatory.

> Nor, by the way, does the cost of providing a product or service correspond directly with the price you charge the customer.

Of course it doesn’t. But it the cost of providing the service corresponds differently to the price charged for women than it does the price charged for men, then you have discrimination. They are simply getting less product or service, for the same price, on the basis of gender. Either you actually don’t understand this very simple point, or you’re intentionally trying to contrive things as much as possible to avoid the reality of the situation. Which no matter how much you attempt to reframe, remains the same.
> hint that it was being worked on next and will be implemented into Phoenix as a web dashboard in the future but there was no hint of that mentioned this year

I see no way to nested folders in 5.0. So if you have a Technology folder with sub folders like Blog and News, it won't import properly nor can you recreate the folder hierarchy.

You could get pretty close to that by allowing people to bookmark and tag timestamps in films. In fact I'm pretty sure we are close to being able to do it, but implementations lag because it would be a feature for services that do not generally compete on features but only on content.
Battery systems seem likely to play a greater part in the grid in future, but I think it's worth noting that the problem here was "sudden loss of generation exceeded the amount that the system operating specs require to be covered by having alternatives on standby". So unless we're collectively prepared to pay to raise the resilience by having more standby capacity, might we just find ourselves with more batteries and fewer turbines running inefficiently at half-load, so we take the benefit of battery tech in cheaper electricity rather than reduced chances of outage?
If Wasm does become as pervasive as JVM i.e. a universal VM of sorts, there will be plenty of IoT equipment using it since the trend now for anything "embedded" that doesn't demand ultra low power consumption is to use a full Linux system à la Raspberry Pi. A company optimizing for a tight memory/performance budget and whose purpose does not require high uptime across the entire fleet can simply use traditional blue-green deployments or something.
I think you know how your comment sounds, and I think you also know that is not a nice way to interact with other people.
Adding group SID's to an optional field in Kerberos was them using a standard to support their own system.

It was never incompatible with MIT or Heimdal. Those systems didn't use the group information in the optional field, but you could kinit and get a Kerberos ticket from a DC.

I know I'm not going to change your mind, but Kerberos isn't a good example.
