Good write up. I always suspected as much but only knew the story behind WeWork in broad strokes. Needless to say I don't suspect WeWork is a fraud anymore, now I know it is.

I'm mad about all the people overdosing because their drugs were laced with Fentanyl without their knowledge - Mac Miller OD'd on fake oxycodone that contained Fentanyl[1]. Tom Petty and Prince also both died from fentanyl intoxication.

Why not just kill those children and friends then, since we have reasonable expectation that they will become radicalized? We already extensively kill the family and children of terrorists

agree. same question here.
It wasn't a misunderstanding caused by his poor wording; It was caused by poor (and possibly malicious) misquoting.

He has nothing to apologise for in this respect, but he does say:

> I'm sorry for that hurt. I wish I could have prevented the misunderstanding.

This could be seen as an apology, "I'm sorry" often is; but in context you can see it is not. It is literally "I'm sorry I could not prevent this hurt" without any sense that He is responsible.

Ironically, this sentiment only brought on more criticism: The claim that this was a "false apology", i.e. something masquerading as an apology despite not being one - but that was Stallmans intention, it is thwarted by all the other sentences in the same paragraph that make it clear he is being misquoted.

I could be misunderstanding, but isn't this actually just a new OS for use in any containerization system, rather than a containerization system itself? This seems more in line with Alpine Linux or Google's Distroless images than something like a new docker

As Symbiote explains above, units are just (volume * %ABV) expressed in a standard unit -- centiliters. It seems like a great system... it's like "standard drinks" in the US but actually printed on bottles. I imagine removing the need for people to do multiplication in order to figure out how much they are drinking is probably a good thing.
A "unit" is a specific amount of alcohol though. Not very obtuse if you are familiar with it, and know that, for example, a pint of session ale is around a couple of units. The minimum price is applied per alcohol unit.
Weird or not, that's the take in many places, Ireland and Afghanistan alike. A modest proposal, eh?

Afghanistan does not harbor 9/11 terrorists. The 9/11 terrorists were all from Saudi Arabia, they did not learn how to fly in a cave in the Afghan mountains and their funding did not come from a financial center in Kandahar; Bin Laden was found hiding in Pakistan.

That war is absurd and should have stopped a long time ago. It's just fueling more terrorism. All western countries should leave the middle east, for good, forever (except maybe the odd ship to secure shipping lanes and stuff like that, but you get my point).
A 'unit' in Scotland/UK is 1cl of pure alcohol. So to get the number of 'units' of alcohol you multiply the the 'strength', in % ethanol by volum, by the volume of the container it is sold in. So a 1 liter bottle of vodka is 1l x 40% = 40 units and a bottle of wine in 0.75 x 13% = 9.75 units.

No but you can put far larger turbines up at sea (much easier to transport a 100m blade at sea than taking it down windy back roads up a hill on land).

You're right, but this law isn't targeted at scams and malware. It's meant to stop broader commercial tracking, and leaves us better off on that front, while criminals were going to do what they do anyway so we're no worse off there.
> If the fed were not providing this printed money to the banks

I'm pretty sure you don't actually mean "printed money", since the Federal Reserve doesn't do that. No currency was created for this market operation, just balances in books kept by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Sheesh. That seems like a strong drug to give someone who is getting teeth pulled. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled at the same time, and while I'm not sure what they gave me during the operation, I don't even remember taking hydrocodone at home afterwards. I think they just gave me some kind of lidocaine numbing solution and told me to take OTC pain meds.
I think the parent is saying "how do reporters have better intel than the military?"

Then of course it might be the case here that civilians were targeted, by mistake or on purpose. But the parent point is quite valid.
>Wrong. I already told you that the authorization is granted to the NSA as part of its charter.

After which I said that the NSA does not have carte blanche to hack any computer and you accused me of putting words in your mouth. This is how it works. Their charter still requires authorization, which doesn't exist, making these hacks illegal.

>Also wrong. There is no law against accidental acquisition of Americans' data

There are all worts of laws that make acquiring American data without a warrant illegal. If accidentally done, I believe the data is to be immediately destroyed and some sort of record of it happening is kept, I am not an expert.

>This is the most obviously wrong of all your claims.

Obviously wrong claims can be shown wrong. Try to do so. Until then, I'll believe the paper calling it illegal and the law that calls the action illegal without proper authorization.
The double standard come from the fact that the USA is usually held to higher standards than terror organizations.

But you are correct, killing civilians with drones isn't much different compared to other acts of terror.

> he did in fact make a false apology

No he didn't. Making a false apology requires some form of deception or misdirection whereby it isn't obvious that you are denying any responsibility.

For example "I'm sorry you feel that way - but I'm not at fault!" Is not a false apology, since it is very clear that you are denying responsibility, despite that fact that it contains the triggering substring "I'm sorry you feel that way".
Nothings guaranteed.

Worst case scenario for Britain would be a period of little wind in the North sea, in Winter. That would be unusual, but not unheard of.

I'm not aware of any plausible scenarios where global warming would lead to less wind, but I suppose its locally possible.
tbh if you have the ability to easily treat functions as first class citizens in a language then it's fair enough to say you can code functionally in it.

I think the attitude "X is inherently a functional language" is being replaced by the idea that there are clusters of language properties with labels like "functional" or "object-oriented" or "array-based" or whatever, and that a language may overlap with bits of various clusters to a greater or lesser degree.

GDPR does forbid providing a lesser experience for people who do not consent to tracking. (Obviously aside from the direct consequences of not having tracking, like getting different adverts.)
I think if it was that small, Google wouldn’t take an aggressive stance against ad blocking. They would likely retain more users overall by appealing to that small power user minority that converts others.
But that doesn't work. Adding a little bit of nuclear to a mostly renewable grid is useless. Most of the output of the nuclear plants is thrown away when the renewables are generating, so the marginal cost of covering the remaining slack periods is hideously bad. Other sources would be cheaper (in particular, burning CO2-free hydrogen in turbines, or using natural gas w. atmospheric CO2 capture.)
Minimum unit pricing doesn't really affect beer - certainly not in a way that makes it cost a "fortune". It makes cans cost a few pence more than ones that you could get on a special offer in England. And people have been taking pills forever - it's not something people have started resorting to now they have to pay fifty pence more to get pissed on lager.
This might have a serious use. I have a private repo that I worked on with my daughter. If I open source it, ideally I'd keep the chronological history but scrub her email address out of it. It's OK that all the commit hashes would change. Would I want to adapt this joke tool to that purpose, or is there an exiting tool for rewriting history that way?
Actually it does, because if industry stops using tracking pixels, it demotivates email clients from having to support it, and makes it easier to block bad actors. Same with tracking on websites and browser support. Chrome would instantly put in a tracking blocker if Google couldn't do tracking any more. But so far Google's strategy is fighting and working around the law because they think they would lose a huge amount of revenue without tracking.

> How exactly does the reporter know which people are IS fighters? Is there some notion that militants don’t ever also farm?

The article says it explicitly: the information is sourced from Afghan officials.

You could say that this may not be the most trustworthy source in this case, and I'd agree, but on the other hand, the problem of mounting civilian casualties of US drone strikes is already a decade if not more old, was widely reported on a few years ago, and is continuously being investigated by various organizations. If what Afghan officials are saying is true, it would not the least bit surprising - and that fact is a huge problem.

> Also in these comments there seems to be a huge double standard. The idea the United States might accidentally kill some civilians is somehow morally outrageous, but the regular and deliberate targeting of civilians by the Taliban and the IS as they attempt to completely destabilize the Afghan government is taken as somehow normal?

I think no one in their right mind would say that what the ISIS or other terrorist groups are doing is anything but repugnant. They're doing evil things, that's a baseline fact, so it's unmentioned - there's nothing interesting in pointing this out. What's more interesting is where did ISIS come from and why are they doing what they're doing, and a significant part of the answer to that question is American military excursions and regular, continued murder of civilians using remote-piloted drones. ISIS may be monsters, but the US is supposed to hold itself to higher standards, not step down to the same level.
Don't get me wrong, I love an Adam Curtis film as much as the next guy, but...

I like using Safari and uBlock Origin. I notice that I am not a power user of browsers - give tabs, a forward and backward button and any adblocker and I used to be happy. This mean that I could easily use Safari and Firefox - I prefer not to use Chrome derivatives to do my part in preventing developers from forgetting about other browsers.

However, I have recently become a power user of uBlock Origin specifically to curtail the general attention hacking on the web. uBlock Origin is already a very great ad blocker in its default installation, but I've recently got into using its powerful cosmetic filters to block out "attention hacking features", such as (all of) YouTube's recommendations, comments on various sites, and stuff like the "Hot Network Questions" on StackOverflow. Things I've discovered that are too good at distracting my mind. With a few uBlock Origin cosmetic filter rules, those website elements remain hidden when I visit them.

I wonder if it's possible to continue using Safari with my own distraction filters. It's a shame if I have to stop using it.
Dmexco 2019: Ad Tech Takeaways by Admixer
To me it sounds like the problem wasn't kubernetes, the problem was that you (your predecessor) rolled your own instead of going down the path of using something with a support number. Redhat obviously comes to mind first but there are countless options with enterprise support included.

Have you considered rebuilding/moving the containers onto something more "enterprisey"?
Yeah, yeah. Beliefs gets mixed on, always. But do you seriously believe the Troubles in Ireland were over theological hair splitting about who is the head of the Holy Church? Yet, it was always framed, even in my school books, as a conflict between Catholics and Protestants. Very puzzling if it were only that.

Here's the relevant U.S. quote, "U.S. forces conducted a drone strike..." the subject is clear and there is no equivocating about who was responsible for the drone strike.
Learning new things is good but not enough
It is inefficient to distribute electricity over very long distances currently, and that inefficiency increases exponentially. Perhaps in the future a global electrical grid backed primarily with solar may be practical with superconducting transmission lines, but for now, generation is relatively local.

While a fossil fuel or nuclear plant is not reliable, their unreliability is uncorrelated. Solar and wind have geographically correlated unreliability, which is a major problem. To make them practical, large scale energy storage is necessary.

As energy storage is expensive, fossil fuel and nuclear redundant generation is going to be necessary for some time. Scaling demand could also help ease the problem. Electric storage heaters, aluminium smelters, and air conditioning for example can respond dynamically to supply through a real time market, or demand-side response agreement.
> It’s a shame the Mother can’t see this

The only reason you know how smart her kid is, is because she wrote an entire article telling everyone how smart her kid is.
I think this illustrates that there are many reasons to do this:

1. Your suggested approach handles provenance for data you yourself arranges to "open up" in the future.

2. Additionally people may want to ensure the longevity of the data - this is "easily" done by simply archiving all referenced archives multiple places.

3. Some people wants to ensure important data eventually will get released, but don't dare / can release it now and/or worry that they will be prevented from releasing it in the future (be that for a nefarious reason, or simply because you might die of natural causes before you get a chance).

The last case is what I meant by a "time locked" system. Being able to archive something now even though you're not prepared to publish it now in a way that doesn't require you to take complicated steps to guarantee that "someone" is trusted to release the right keys would be powerful.

What you suggest also have value, it just covers a different set of use cases.
> I have considered a lot of things. Percentage improvement over time means nothing when you have so far to go as wind and solar has.

That's simply ridiculous. Any rapidly improving technology will go through a period when it's at 1% market penetration. This cannot be used as an argument that it won't go further. It's as if you cannot wrap your head around exponential growth.
The sea is a huge area without hills or mountains to reduce the wind speed, and near shore there is a daily guaranteed temperature differential nearby to generate some wind.

So, yes, it's so likely that it's practically guaranteed. Too much wind is an orders of magnitude more likely problem.
That's not what I meant. I meant in the USA there is a culture of shooting a place up when you're depressed. Fortunately that did not happen, that's all I meant. I've had friends kill themselves. I've battled with depression and I've seen someone die in a horrific car accident right in front of me.
I'm sorry but your explanation makes no sense.
Oil is wherever it is located, so you have to go there if you want to take it or protect it. But you can grow poppies in most places. It makes no sense for the US to spend something like a trillion dollars and thousands of lives for something they could grow in California or Texas.

In fact we actually grow opium in Australia.

That hypothesis is sensible.

According to The Male Brain, by psychiatrist Louann Brizendine, males have 2.5x the space devoted to sexual drive in the hypothalamus compared to females.

By the time males reach puberty, guy’s sexual occupation and fertile female tracking circuits run in the background non-stop like an unkillable daemon process.

That’s absolutely going to divert brainpower.

How to Make Sense of Inherited Design (UX/UI)
My point was that the laws are in place now, but appear to be toothless. I received a marketing email disguised as an order update after an explicit opt out, and reported it to ICO in the UK. ICO told me I had to take it up with the provider, and if they didn't resolve it to get in touch. The provider said sorry and closed my ticket, and I contacted ICO again who just mothballed me.

Laws are only effectivr if they're enforced, and right now the tracking laws of the GDPR don't appear to be enforced, or have any sort of method for reporting, which is really really disappointing

Really Bellman did nothing new when he used the word programming as that had already been used in the phrase "linear programming" for one or two decades. Mathematical programming was the optimization of military programs.
No one can really even define what a Millennial is, or who falls in to Generation Y/Z. Even "who is a Boomer?", and the tropes of what a Boomer is, fail when looking at my anecdotal data. Also often activist children are heavily influenced by their activist parents. Generational classification and "analysis" is almost as bad as stereotypes.
An Introduction to Transposit
Ask HN: How about some networking/mentoring in NYC?
I am a guy, mid-late 30s, been working in tech (finance) for around 20 years, and seemed to be on a good track, but I feel like I have plateaued and had a rough time the last year or two. I am open-minded, and looking for next steps, either to get into some employment niche (devops? Rust? q/kdb/kerf?) that works better than my current job, and/or try to work on my own projects / business ideas.

I am an active developer in C++, C, Python, Java presently (also Perl, JavaScript, Clojure, PHP, Fortran, build systems, Linux). I was heavily influenced by the Linux / open source tradition, and did some open source contributions, conferences and the like a long time ago, that's something I would like to get back to.

I am interested in some networking / mentoring with people with similar (or even better, more experience), preferably in NYC or nearby. Naturally, I am willing to extend the same offer of networking / mentoring to anyone less experienced that feels they could benefit from another perspective.

Email is in my profile.
Damn I should have googled that one.
