And yesterday the annual ShakeOut event happened where everyone does the drop'n'cover exercise at a particular time of day.

Some councils supply discounted emergency water tanks for home install, too. Got one hooked up last Autumn, and a second in the garage waiting for better weather.

I do some work with MCDEM, the operator of getthru (and getready, and civil defence). Fascinating area - They cover the governance/policy aspects of emergency management but also some of the operational/practical execution of it (that which isn't devolved to regional civil defence or emergency sector e.g. FENZ).
That's a bit like saying that Japan is uninhabitable because it experience devastating >9.0 earthquakes and accompanying tsunamis perhaps 1-2 times per millennia as seen most recently in 2011. Disasters happen but people rebuild, that's just the way it is. A full rupture of the Cascadia subduction[1] zone that that article[2] references would be devastating but would hardly end human occupation of the U.S. west coast.

Honest stud exist for many years [0] and it's common knowledge in every tourist guide [1].

Class lawsuit is a very American thing, let's sue everyone regardless of proof or if the condition can be avoided by the persons themselves.

Even the link between flight and DVT is not 100% clear [2], although there seems to be a good mechanism explaining it:

> not all experts agree that air travel is a direct cause of thrombosis due to a lack of large-scale population studies. Such studies are difficult to evaluate, in that the extended period between flight time and presentation of DVT or PE symptoms induces variability.

The conclusion of this [3] research is somewhat disturbing:

> Moreover, given the low incidence of DVT in the general population we may never know if air travel increases the risk of DVT because studies with the required sample size to detect a significantly increased risk are unlikely to be sponsored.

Data-labelling startups want to help improve corporate AI
I got asked a mathematics question during a Google interview in 2016. Got the answer right but could not completely prove it was correct.
The lines between marketing and "passively posting" are very blurry, especially in the tech world. Is Linus T. marketing, when in a technical presentation about git he says "if you like SVN you might wanna leave"? Is Mozilla marketing, when they claim in technical blog posts that rust provides system language level performance while being safe?

Funny enough, we just had a small earthquake a few minutes ago here in Los Angeles. And yes, it woke up my wife (but not the kids).

Even a REALLY big earthquake is probably not going to knock down my house... we will likely be ok. Have the emergency kits ready.
What I wonder is if the recent LinkedIn ruling implies that SO can’t prevent others from scraping the site. And given that the content is already liberally licenses maybe scrape plus rehost is all that’s needed. Of course there are a lot of technical details that could sink this but I can’t see legal issues hindering it.
Nobody here noticed the difference between "refusing to serve a customer" and "not wanting to to business with other unethical businesses".
Gitlab could definitely chose with which other business they associate, and that would not mean allowing to target minorities. But every customer-facing business should not be allowed to refuse their service to anyone, because you're right, it would very easily lead to cases like the one you're describing.

The role of the mods vs. the role of the user is a big question mark to me. In which question has a moderator helped in a relevant sense? For me they always have just been gatekeeping (tags, close votes) which never made sense to me.
I wonder what the 'safest' uptime possible is today, for a computer connected to the internet? e.g. what's the oldest linux kernel that has no known remote attacks (not just remote exploits but DOS weaknesses too) ?

To make it more difficult, what would be the safest uptime for a box that allowed remote logins? SSH flaws don't count, since you can always upgrade that on the fly, but kernel-level privilege escalation weaknesses would count as critical.
> The odd part here to me is that it seems to be the norm that, if you want to join the maintainer team of Guile, you ask RMS and you don't even need to talk to the existing maintainer team first.

Well, this issue was much more complicated than that, wasn't it? In this case the role of RMS is more as that f an arbiter.

Apart from that, RMS is the leader of the GNU project. When I submitted my little project to GNU, I first talked to RMS (it was many years ago, o I don't remember the details, but I wrote to some general address and he answered). By submitting my project to GNU, I accepted his leadership, and it was a conscious decision, I knew very well what to expect. Actually, RMS seemed to me quite reasonable and down-to-earth about technical issues, even though I often disagree with him on philosophical issues.

In an ideal world, everyone collaborates harmoniously and no intervention is needed. In practice, clashes do happen sometimes, and under such circumstances the role of the leader is crucial in helping to find a reasonable solution.

Well depends I guess.

After using it I like the idea with Huawei Private Space. You need to unlock the phone with a different biometric/password to get notifications even. So separate storage / user / app store.

Samsung Knox is a bit more seamless, you can choose how much you share (like copy & paste).

In case you are made to do it both can fool goverment to accept that you phone is clean with the correct setup.

Climate change is a hoax, a political agenda
Actually, yes it was, in a way. COBOL was intended to do away with programmers and to allow their managers to interact with the computer directly. Programmers of the day worked with machine language and generally took forever to deliver bits and pieces of functionality due to the low level nature of their tools. The idea behind COBOL was that the compiler would take a high level specification (the 'source code') which any competent person should be able to put together rather than that this specification had to be handed to the programmers.

Of course, the end result was that we ended up with just one layer of abstraction and programmers were in more demand than ever before because of their increased productivity, and the 'managers' ended up being programmers themselves.

This then led to the schism between 'systems' programmers (those that understood assembly) and 'applications' programmers, those that only worked in high level languages.

When I started working professionally in IT this division was still quite visible.
My guess is that startup time is not the issue, but loading a large data structure (its cache) from disk can be.

Especially if you can't or don't want to use memory mapping because it's hard to do well.

But more importantly, I think that the server can monitor file changes ahead of time with things like inotify, saving the time of stat()-ing files when the user wants to perform a build.
You would be a separatist too if you were stolen 10% of your gross domestic product every year; you would be a separatist too if every law passed by your parliment was rejected by your spanish masters; you would be a separatist too if your language was being constantly attacked; if your media was threatened to be shut down; if your health care system was attacked; the list goes on an on. For Catalonia it is either independence or submission. Easy choice if you ask me.

Couple of problems with that... one, not everyone would chip in. Why would they? If there is a fund paying lobbyists, my $25 is not going to make a huge difference.... they aren't going to win or lose based on my contribution, so why contribute? Your money wont change the outcome, and you will get the benefit even if you don't participate... standard Free Rider problem.

You might say that you should donate out to the fund out of moral principle of a just cause, but there are a million just causes, a million small rent seeking industries that do this sort of thing. Which of them do I donate to fight against? Why income tax and not one of the others?

TurboTax is going to be willing to spend a LOT of money to fight this... you are going to have to get a LOT of people to choose your moral cause, and donate to the PAC.... and then find even more when TurboTax spends even more on lobbying to counteract your PAC. Who is going to give up first?

The author seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the bible (referencing individual psalms by number), wears a cross around his neck to hospital, practises all kinds of eastern religious meditations (recommends "Awaken the Healing Light of the Tao" in the midst of describing himself in a diaper on a CAT scan machine). On top of this he works as a particle accelerator operator at cornell. And still eats some of the mushrooms he previously identified as growing next to some clearly poisonous mushroom colony.

At the end of the article he questions whether it was an act of god or meditation that saved him, yet concludes that realistically it was not taking the time to identify the mushrooms correctly which caused the whole process. Yet starts the article with the comment that he was somehow in an altered mental state from a "Aligning the Three Tan Tiens" exercise which left him feeling invincible. Surely if you belive that god or meditation was the cure, you would have to believe that they could also be the cause - especially in this case when you're doing the "nothing can kill me" meditation before picking mushrooms.

It's a weird half baked half-rational half-esoteric thought process that staggers me. Religion and science are always a controversial mix, but this is an extreme example.

Why would you limit yourself to Linux: it has a very large "surface" area so new vulnerabilities are found all the time. It has the benefit of large number of eyes on it, so gets patched quickly (and can be live-patched for most part), but it's not a good candidate for super-long uptime.

I would imagine something small and stripped down serving a particular purpose would fare better. And OpenBSD prides itself in security for general purpose computing, but it still gets regular security fixes.

I agree with this. Honestly, it's super simple assuming you want to convert Markdown files to HTML.

You can also leverage 3rd party libraries to do the heavy lifting of:

1) Reading local file tree (the IO/FS module of your $LANGUAGE standard lib will suffice)

2) Parsing front matter (parsing the YAML block of meta at the top of the Markdown file)

3) Transforming Markdown to HTML (plenty of good libraries)

4) Using HTML templates (also plenty to choose from)

Not auto-scaling VM compute instances, auto-scaling the Google Cloud RBE service (I think it's called Cloud Build right now?). If you have a worker pool of size 1,000, you have to pay for that even if your dev team only uses it at full capacity 8-10hrs per day. Or maybe the Google Cloud sales people working with my company are misinformed? IDK, but my experience with TPUs, GPUs, AI Engine, Dataproc, BigQuery, etc... every GCloud feature I've used (besides vanilla Compute VMs) have gotchas and/or time sinks that are costly unless you have a load of free credits. For AI Engine, it took like 6 months to upgrade their internal Kubernetes cluster; in the meantime, crashed jobs would burn an extra 15 minutes of GPU dollars.

There's a lot of good stuff in Google Cloud, but be sure to get Google to pay you to wade through the construction with free credits.

Precisely! While the risk of most disasters is rather low for most people, there is a considerably larger risk that _something_ will happen at some point. It's only reasonable to be able to survive on one's own if society is disrupted for a few weeks or so.

There's a long way to go from that to bunkering down in the wilderness and withdrawing from society.

Let me start with

> You cannot stop bitcoin.

See the way bitcoin works is anyone who wants to run a node on the network can just start without asking anyone for anything, or even letting anyone know they are starting.
There is no door you can bang on to stop new users from joining. There is no server you can bring down to prevent people from joining.

> It does not really matter if it's 2 miles or 2 million miles per bitcoin transaction.

This kind of comparison is flawed: Tesla was made for efficient mileage from electricity, but Bitcoin never aimed at transactions that require little electricity. You could compare an electric kettle to a smartphone and say that electric kettles are really bad because you could talk on the phone for 50 years instead of boiling water for some tea. ( If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. )

> Edit: You would end up burning even more if you tried to stop it.

Based on the above and other properties of bitcoin, it would not be cost free at all to try and stop it. I am convinced that the costs related to attempts to stop bitcoin would be much higher than the costs required to leave it be.

Milk and all it's derived products have lactose, so they should be avoided by people that can't digest them properly, which includes, for example, most African Americans and Native Americans among many others.

It's a gradual thing that gets worse with age, you become more and more lactose intolerant. If you find yourself having frequent diarrheas say once a month or so, consider cutting on dairy and see if it improves, you might be slightly lactose intolerant without realizing it.
It's a new account posting a comment that's mostly just a link. It probably tripped the spam detector and got killed automatically, without anyone flagging it.
