Thanks, I hadn't heard that. I'll look into it.

I'm not too worried. I do firewall everything that's not necessary, at every level. That is, the host machine runs a VPN client, and iptables only allows traffic to the VPN server. So any VirtualBox traffic is using that VPN service.

All of the pfSense VMs in my nested VPN chains have pf rules that do the same. And I doubt that VirtualBox would be routing traffic through them. But I'll check.

I'll probably use KVM for my next VM host. The tools have improved a lot in recent years. And I've become a lot more comfortable managing stuff in terminal.
All securities have exposure to something that can result in them crashing. Despite this, people are still buying them. It would be pretty ridiculeous to say “remember the Great Depression? Don’t buy any stocks! It’s a scam!” So what’s the difference with MBSs? Also, what exactly about MBSs do you think makes them fundamentally unsound investments?

Yes, I do understand what you're saying and I wish/hope it happens. I wonder if the answer to your implicit question is that the degree of economic incentive that would be necessary to persuade Brazil to agree to something that it considers demeaning would be so great that it is either (a) unrealistic to imagine funding it as others have suggested elsewhere in this comment thread, or (b) would verge on economic aggression (i.e. persuading someone to do something they would rather not via financial means is of course not always considered ethical, even by the most red blooded free-marketeers.)
>language support is the most important for productivity

That is a great point, and this is precisely the goal of the Language Server Protocol[0] (LSP). I agree that dedicated tools have more sophisticated support but LSP is quickly bridging that gap. With how extensible editors like vim and emacs are coupled with there powerful text manipulation capabilities the development experience offered by them in combination with a good Language Server and Client is not to be underestimated. Although editor ergonomics are very subjective so I know this topic can get very controversial.

I find applications that bridge 3d game-like environments to something potentially useful in a workplace environment really interesting. Another example is psdoom (http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/)

Sometimes while doing sys-ops stuff I wish I were in a game of portal, or a real-time strategy game where the system metrics are represented as features in the game and moving units or building a base has a real dev-ops impact on the system. If anyone has more literature on this I'm all ears!

He would be safer though in Russia. It is far easier for the CIA to kidnap him illegally out of France, if they fail to extradite him legally. France might protest such an event a lot but it will unlikely lead to a military confrontation. The US would never likely do this in Russia.
I’ve never paid attention to that number. Housing in desirable areas with economic opportunities, education, and healthcare are all understated. I prefer to use SP500 as my benchmark for what I need to keep up with since I am betting the US government will keep devaluing the USD to keep inflating asset values.
Right now, society's in a situation where an artificial number of "jobs" are created either by makework companies or by resisting automation of scutwork. If people are freed from the necessity to work useless jobs just to receive subsistence, it will suddenly become both economic and politic to reverse that.
Sometimes a denial is success, though. It means nobody else can swoop in, trademark it and prevent you from using it.
I worked in a phone/computer repair store, based on anecdotal research on glass screen protectors, this isn't necessary anymore.

I'm sure this applies to many phones (haven't tested specific ones) but the glass screen protectors refused to scratch for me, I tried screw driver tips, razors, as hard as I could against a flat desk.

If I applied enough concentrated force (or jabbed it) it would brake as expected, but anything short of that left a barely visible mark, if anything. I have seen them scratched, but it's not common.

I say throw a screen protector on it if you can and don't worry about it.

> it costs between $2000 and $4000 to print and market a book

It costs between $2000 and $4000 to print a book. It costs about the same to warehouse and distribute a typical hardcover.

It costs maybe $100,000 to market a book. Often much more.

Printing, distribution, and royalties are a small part of costs in the publishing industry. Marketing and amortized overhead are a large part of the costs.
It comes from the legacy of automation and technological advancement created by our ancestors and should be to everyones benefit.

Currently this flow of massive wealth is going into the pockets of people who need it the least and no one is asking where it is coming from.
OxyContin isn’t a bad drug, it’s a highly addictive drug and the company knew it was highly addictive & not only didn’t do enough due diligence to make sure prescribers didn’t over prescribe it but also intentionally encourage that behavior which has led to an epidemic.

However, food for thought on that same subject is the over prescribing of amoxicillin and other similar class of drugs for viruses. The doctor is operating a business and his/her clients want a solution to their problem, so they write a script as they want to keep their customer happy and it “can’t be too bad”.

There’s a case to be made that a certain amount of immediate gratification expected on the part of the consumer is a large contributing factor to overprescribing in general.

However, in this case, Purdue was very much in the wrong and should not have been encouraging over prescription of a highly addictive drug.
All of these countries have overlapping territorial claims in the area; portraying the illegitimacy of China's claims as "annexing" "their" territory is misleading when the other claims are just as illegitimate.

It's not like there's a local island population that could object to the occupation, so control effectively belongs to whoever establishes a permanent presence first. It's obviously not an ideal state of affairs, but it also doesn't indicate a propensity of the current Chinese government to invade populated territory any more than for the other countries.
I love the fact that progress never stops. No matter how unimaginable it is that some piece of technology could be improved, it is not only improved upon but it will be dramatically reimagined and reinvented and iterated upon endlessly until it becomes entirely obsolete.

Even when people say “XYZ is approaching the laws of physics for how good it can get” they often turn out wrong, like with solar panels there are several theoretical limits which have been shattered by using multi-layer approaches and mirrored or stacked panels, or ways to excite 2 electrons from one photon, that ultimately push the technology forward in one dimension or another.

All I’m saying is, you’re in very good company.

* Regime run directly by religious leaders, which seem to be living in an orthodox style.

* Enforces religious laws on all citizens, and sometimes externally (like the Salman Rushdie case), even when paying a significant price for it.

* Has multiple outsider militia directly swearing loyalty to its leader based on religious connections.

* Repeatedly swears it wants to destroy Israel, and 'Death to America' is a repeated slogan.

'Conclusion:' the leaders don't believe all that stuff.

I think the issue here is that some Westerns that can't believe that anyone actually has different opinions than their modern opinions. Since these people are secular, all religious people are seen as merely engaging in power-play. We can see this attitude often in popular histories...

Much of the legality argument for drugs stems from not punishing the user. Nobody is really interested in protecting the dealer. Manufacturing, selling, and marketing highly addictive substances at the cost of society isn't where people are interested in relaxing laws. Purdue (and others) have been operating as legal cartels. Shutting them down is a net benefit to society.

I'm an owner of Bitwig and a huge fan; that being said I think it's more fair to say that Bitwig supports Ableton Push with a few asterisks.

You're thinking on an individual level, presumably a god has all of humanity to think about (at the very least, they probably concern themselves with all things that exist). If the after-life exists, then that child will have undergone a mere lifetime of suffering and then live forever in paradise. In the meantime, meankind on earth has been working to solve the problems of blindness and health care distribution, in the process learning about itself both physically and as a societal entity.

When you think about it, expecting god (or the universe) to invest its full attention in you and your problems is really quite entitled.

But let's suppose you had it your way and there was no suffering anywhere. How would god achieve that? I imagine the only way is to force everyone to do the right thing at all times, thus eliminating the concept of free will, and then what even are we? Who are we to demand both the freedom to act as we wish and freedom from consequences?

I was an atheist for a long time, so I get the whole 'God is a dick' thing, but when you sit down and think about it deeply I think you'll see that it is only true for a particularly disingenuous construct of god.

This is such an important point. I struggle with procrastination and learning the underlying causes are what helped me make huge progress.

The amount of information on you also depends on the country you reside in. I think Americans in particular will have a tough time due to the number of people search websites and a laissez-faire attitude towards selling PII that IMHO should not be sold (DMV and voting data)

Corruption is one issue, but as I understand it there are also technical issues. The synthesis of derivative investments like collateralized debt obligations involves modelling the probabilities of default. If the models are wrong, such as assuming probabilistic events are not correlated (e.g. that mortgage default is a microeconomic phenomenon of individual hardship, rather than macroeconomic recession), then the ratings will not be sensible. Robust ratings require economic science to be robust.

> Either that's bullshit

It's misleading in that it ignores all the costs between creating a physical copy of a book and a buyer placing it in their hands. There's the obvious things like logistics and less obvious things like paying for placement and future liabilities for "unsold returned inventory" (typically destroyed instead of returned because an unsold book is less-than-worthless).

But 10 years ago, an e-book was often cheaper than a printed copy, allegedly because Amazon was willing to take a loss and everyone else had to follow to compete. The Great Steve Jobs didn't want iBooks to compete with Amazon by losing money, negative gross margins aren't the modern Apple way, so he colluded with the Big 5 publishers to force the agency pricing model on everyone. DoJ slapped them all on the wrists and the agency model lives on.

All that is assuming that you do know for certain the evolution did NOT exploit it.

There is some extrapolative argument that hints at the contrary. Adrian Thompson's evolved FPGA circuits exploited a single chip's underlying physics in a manner no digital circuit designer would. By that thread, it would seem possible that evolution has already exploited quantum computation ... just that maybe we haven't had the tech eye to see it yet.

After all, all systems are quantum mechanical.

Supply chains are another reason, why shifting production to a lower-cost labour country is not done overnight.
I like the idea of the bug database synchronized with the code base, becoming part of the documentation, but here are my concerns.
Often people who are not developers put "issues" into the bug tracker and they might not find working with the command-line easy.

If an instance of the system is in use by many, debugging a problem experienced by a particular user might involve personally identifying information which should not be checked in with the source.

Also issue trackers sometimes deal with multiple branches of development. In a sane place you might have 4.8 and 4.9 in production and a 5.0-dev, fix a bug in 4.9, then port the fixes to the other branches. To do this you are thinking about the tree as a whole and that's easier done from outside rather than inside the tree.
I think the point here is not that much about "moral" arguing for or against them in a very binary way, it is firstly to better understand the situation.

The article and many comments point that there is a big gap between how we imagine Iran, and how Iran is really is.
Actually plastic is ideal too. I mean almost everyone has either a broken phone, or a giant case on their phone because it is made entirely of glass. Back when Nokia made the Lumia phones and the N9, the solid polycarbonate was really nice looking and durable. But people judge a phone from when they pick it up in the store, and there aluminum/glass is definitely more slick looking. Only to be put in an otter box or something...

I've been using the budget Moto G+ line for the past four years. I can upgrade my phone every year around Black Friday and get the latest model for sub $200. The older phones still work well and get handed down to my less tech savvy family members.

I'm not really sure what people are paying for when they get those $800+ beasts for phones. When I use a friend's I can tell they are higher quality; either they feel more fancy or load apps more quickly. But it's marginal like the difference between a workstation and a gaming PC.

I think more people should try out budget Android lines. One really nice benefit is they only contain the technologies that have proved themselves. This article focuses on headphone jacks but there's quite a lot of silly phone tech that comes and goes in the name of marketing showmanship.
Kruschev in the 1950s wondered how capitalism worked without a price committee. Looks like NPR forgot about this with this rather pointless article extrapolating prices in one Walmart to the trade war between China and the US.

It seems to me that some people got sloppy with the requirements analysis of their connector.

>Why would garlic prices rise 53% if the tariffs are only 30%?

One purely theoretical explanation is demand elasticity - if you can sell 20 items at 3$ now your costs increase to 5$ - you can sell 10 items at 5$ but 8 at 10$ it makes sense to sell at 10$ - not saying that's the case with garlic - but it explains how a 30% cost increase could cause higher price increase.
