Information doesn't have to flow through managers specifically and it certainly doesn't have to flow up the management chain and down again, but there ideally should be preferred funnels for the communication and breaking out of it should be an exception, or pre arranged, and not the norm. Otherwise you'll have, say, a particularly useful person on a team see his time filled with requests coming from a lot of different directions and he then has to also manage the priorities and communication around this too, and then he becomes a bottleneck for the entire organisation.
Rioters, rogue police, vigilantes, rogue militas, nazis, militaries commanded by those that are not upholding the constitution. Honestly your argument makes it more sensible that we should open up restrictions and allow more lethal weapons.
Impossible to say without a deeper inspection of the system, but given `/dev/random` does block, the answer is something is redirecting urandom to random. On the system, does cat urandom ever block? Step one is the reproduce it outside of Java and if that's not possible, start digging into the Java library's code. If it is, then start digging into `glibc`, devfs, the kernel.

Something in the chain switched urandom and random. Isolate each component until the culprit is found.

They are talking about violence that you yourself had posited would be occurring in the context of an armed insurgency, which is a hypothetical that you posed. You're now twisting their response to your own example into something you're interpreting as a generalized wish for violence on people they disagree with, totally ignoring of the context of the conversation up to this point.

A VirtIO-RNG driver has been in Linux for over 10 years: https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/VirtIORNG

Randomness in VMs isn't a problem. If VM hypervisors aren't providing VirtIO-RNG, it's still just a quick fix and reboot away. The quickest way to make sure all hypervisors and hosting providers enable VirtIO-RNG, or something similar, is for the kernel to being assuming, loudly, that strong entropy is available at boot time.

For embedded stuff SPI RNG chips and similar solutions have been available since forever, not to mention the on-chip sources on most modern ARM and x86 CPUs and SoCs.

If a product designer (e.g. embedded device) or solution provider (cloud hosting) chooses to put their trust in RDRAND alone, then that's their choice--Linux shouldn't be second guessing it, or at least allow such a choice to dictate the semantics of its APIs.

Current job title: Automation Engineer (DoD GOV Sector)

Looking for: DevOps, SRE, Automation in private sector

I have 20 years of experience in IT and I am looking for a remote only position doing DevOps/IT automation leveraging Ansible (or similar tools), PowerShell, or Python. I am willing to learn any tool or language required for the job. I am comfortable using Linux, Windows or Mac OS. I also currently have an active SECRET clearance but I am looking to work in private industry. I love what I do and consider it a hobby. I also want to work on cutting edge technologies and always staying up to date on the current state of IT.

> Government (and industry) is not a single-threaded organization incapable of doing more than 1 thing at a time.

It's resources are also not infinite.

Things need to be prioritized and tackled in an intelligent order. The government can handle several initiatives that attack the problem from different angles but it can't do everything. Airplanes, for example, are a small part of the problem and fairly integral to the connected globe.

We could probably make more headway attacking just the power plant issue in 5 different ways than than attacking issues 2-6 simultaneously.

> Yes, if you're talking about the media or politicians, they of course are much more single-threaded in the sense that they may need to pick their battles, but generalizing that to absolutely everything doesn't make sense

This is all going to be done politically. This is a government level problem and there isn't a government office that is apolitical. You can help the most by voting for it. The things you can do as an individual are good but they'll be dwarfed if you win on the political stage.
Anecdote:
My company has recently passed on a few early career candidates who pretty clearly hadn't been mentored.

We have a take-home assignment as part of our interview process and they were able to get a working solution, but missed on design patterns that would make their code more maintainable and extensible, things that are usually learned from code-reviews by people who have had the experience of working with bad code.

This was more common in candidates who came to us from the tech departments of non-tech focused companies.

We lamented not being able to hire otherwise smart and personable candidates, but at the end of the day we only had headcount for 1 employee and we went with a different smart and personable candidate who had better early career opportunities.
I could be wrong, but my understanding is that people were generally pretty optimistic in the early 1900s (before WW1 obviously). Everyday applications for electricity were rapidly changing daily life for people.

I am a fullstack engineer experienced in using React for the front-end, and Rails for the back-end. Through the years I have gained a lot of experience in different technologies. For example, I know how:

- to use ElasticSearch (with custom aggregation, geoloc, and other types of query),

- to do custom graphs with vx, react-spring, and D3,

- to use kubernetes, helm, and docker.

I love learning new technologies and I would love the opportunity to get more experience with Go and/or Rust, or be a part of a team focused on innovation and advancement.

I have a weird sort of in on this, in that my grandparents are exactly the kind of people who love The Road to Mandalay. I think the clever thing about reciting a poem like that is it appeals to a broad spectrum of conservative voters: the low-end, who will enjoy the thumb in the eye of 'political correctness', the mid-level, who feel like the british empire was good, then the 'intellectuals' (like my grandparents), who are very fond of poetry and Kipling, and like to think of themselves as more intelligent and refined than their proletariat opposition.

The nice thing about it, is it's a spectrum. If you're in the conservative-intellectual bracket, you still probably enjoy the provocation of the politically correct, and the imperial nostalgia stuff. If you're in the conservative-middle-brow bracket, you still feel good about the fact that your racism is being associated with Great British poetry.

I don't think he's a genius, or that he's playing fifth-dimensional chess, or something. I think it's just an advantage of this whole bumbling persona - that he can go to events like this and basically do what he wants. So when he thinks up some kind of stunt - like reciting a colonialist poem, or getting stuck on a rope, or whatever - he can go ahead with it, because it fits with his image. That gives him a whole range of communicative strategies most politicians don't have. What he actually communicates (the blend of dogwhistle racism and attention-seeking) is actually pretty normal.
> I think that distinction is already sufficiently implied.

No, it's not.

> China/<Country's name> == The government of China/<The government of Country>

> and

> The Chinese == The inhabitants of China

I've had some rather deep political conversations with a few Chinese people, and it's my understanding that education there doesn't stress the distinction between the Chinese nation and the Chinese government. So, using the word "China" to condemn the government can will often be interpreted as condemning the nation and does encourages ordinary Chinese to stand by their government, right or wrong. Don't do that.

If you want to condemn the Chinese government, name the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) in your condemnations, for clarity's sake.

Hi, I am a recent computer science graduate (Bachelors, June 2019) with 6 months experience(internship+job) working on the backend and automated webjobs(all C#). During the degree course I have mostly worked with python for projects and c++ for Data Structures and Algorithms practices. I am enthusiastic for IOT as a field and I have worked with 8 bit microcontrollers as well.
I have negligible experience with frontend, but have tried out desktop UI development in the past using Elementary toolkit(Enlightenment EFL), and Python's tkinter. I am comfortable working in the unix environment as GNU/linux has been my preferred workstation OS for past 6 years.

If China did a nuclear attack, the US Army wouldn't be involved at all in any war. They'd sit back while the US Air Force and Navy completely nuked China. There wouldn't be an invasion because there'd be nothing left to invade at that point, so no army would be needed.

Remember, the US's nuclear arsenal is far, far larger than China's. Such a conflict would be devastating to the US (and to many other places due to fallout), but China would cease to exist.
Thanks!! We do think it's super fun to play with. :)
It is really disturbing how huge the fear of a atomic war was back then. It shows how bad the cold war was in these years. Today, our children fear different things like the fact, that we are destroying our environment. Interestingly, it would be quite the same (but sure not really), if the bomb would be dropped.

Interesting is also that many kids predict the future in the year 2000 kind of correctly. For example the ideas about computers are quite correct.
Yep, I’ve implemented new ticketing systems that have to talk to the ancient ticket system for certain things or vice versa. The ancient system had direct DB connections that had too many down/upstream dependencies and not enough budget or political backing.

Do the people going to the clinics for life-saving organ transplants know that the organs are coming from prisoners who do not give them up voluntarily?

Where did the CCP get all the doctors and nurses who carry out the vivisections and transplantations?

I don't want to engage in what I call the "calculus of evil".

I wonder how many Americans would fly to China to get organs to save their lives knowing where the organs come from.

Nuclear war never stopped being a possibility, but it became much less likely in the 90s with the end of Cold War and the USSR. I don't think it ever disappeared from public consciousness, it just fell down on the list of worries. Nowadays, with the US/China stories, I personally am getting worried about it again - but still less than about the climate.

In other words, you're unlikely to bump into something you're moving away from, which is why humans don't have eyes on the back of our heads either.
