Been using podman locally now for quite some time, and I truly don't even notice. `alias docker='podman'` really just works. The only things I've encountered that don't work, is if you need docker-compose for your project, or if you need to mount the docker socket in to the container. Other than that, no problems. As more and more teams start using minikube, microk8s, minishift, etc, docker-compose is less and less necessary.
Also many electric bike riders don't take the extra power into consideration when they speed down those bike lanes. I overheard a conversation at the office recently where the topic was the number of bike deaths this year (I work/live in Manhattan) and they did point out that many of those might actually be electric bike riders.
Facebook, like any corporation, has a charter granting it extraordinary powers by the society in which it operates. Implicit in that grant is the idea that the corporation betters society by its existence. If, by reaching a certain scale, that society by necessity has to say "hey, you need to do X because you're not keeping up your end of the bargain", that's completely fine.
> "We have to set our taxes the same as theirs."

And what is "theirs" here? The EU does not have a singular tax policy. I hope there's some coordination, but every country sets their own tax policy. Your post makes it sound like you're giving that up by leaving the EU.

Many of the things you want, you already had as a member of the EU. You had your own tax policy, foreign policy, full control of your army (if not, then that's on NATO; the EU has nothing to do with armies).

Stuff like fishing, manufacturing regulations, trade, etc are indeed subject to many EU (not to mention international) treaties. You make it sound like the UK does not want any treaties with anyone anymore. Even the WTO is an international treaty. Do you want to leave that too? Do you realise you're asking for economic isolation here? Self-imposed economic sanctions?

And yes, what May wants is a hard Brexit. Anything that takes the UK out of the EU common market is a hard Brexit. Anything that leaves the UK with access to the common market (the Norway or Switzerland model that Brexiteers used to argue for) is a soft Brexit. Breaking off all treaties like you're proposing is the No-Deal Brexit that Johnson seems to prefer if only Parliament would let him.
How do you make sure that the firmware image deployed on those machines wasn't compromised from the beginning?

What happens when a bug occured and machines need to be updated? Do you bring all machines in for maintenance or does a local IT shop do it? Maybe the manufacturer send a person but can the person be trusted to update multiple machines all over the country?
If we just disconnect from the internet, then the local politicians will still be able to fix the elections. Unscrupulous local politicians are a bigger problem than foreign interference.

I wish there was a way to opt out of political ads on social media
I don't understand why Zuckerberg doesn't just cut his losses and remove political ads. It does not seem worth it financially or non-financially.
Also the 90s were arguably the last time there was an anti-trust friendly majority in the US Supreme Court and various US attorneys general willing to try such a case. The Republican Party has put a lot of effort into removing trust busters from the Supreme Court and state attorneys general since the 90s.
Alright, I'll bite the bullet. What's "Ligma"?
If a bike lane is truly 'protected', that implies that between the road and the bike lane, there's a at least a curb if not an actual barrier.
Do they physically hurt your ears, or is it just some personal discomfort you can get used to?
I feel I can answer this anecdotally, as well as put it in some context.

As a pedestrian I have been struck by a delivery bike running a red light exactly twice. The more egregious incident: I assumed he was going to stop, he decided he was not going to stop. Frogger ensued. I was flattened. He also went down and yelled at me. We were both "fine" other than getting a little bit of NYC on us. I know a couple of people have died from these guys, but I don't think it is a significant number.

The real problem IS the cars generally, but the semi-regulated taxis specifically.

As a biker I have been struck by a car also, exactly twice. Both times by a non medallion wearing driver, both on my way from the bike rack on 53rd to port authority (~11 super short blocks), both I was inside the bike lane on 9th avenue. One on instance the driver blindly turned without a blinker from the not turn lane. I saw it happening, but citibikes aren't known for how reliable their brakes are, and we collided at a VERY low speed. I was able to hop off before I fell. The bigger issue on 9th avenue is the turn lanes that are IN the bike lane... The other time I was hit, I was side swiped as the driver decided to not look that I was in the lane. I had my umbrella in hand as I was being side swiped and was swinging it against his driver window. He then flipped me off and pull further into the lane. Knocking me into another biker and we both went down.

I know these are anecdotal, but the 11 blocks I would ride a citi bike could have killed me twice in 2 years. I have been almost killed 0 times by delivery bikes in NYC for the thousands of miles I walked. I will side with bikers over cars in NYC any day of the week.

Professor Eric Laithwaite: Shaping Things to Come – 1972
If you are interested in Scrabble, you'll like reading this (Feb 2019) review of Scrabble covering it as a area-control-wargame: https://meeplelikeus.co.uk/scrabble-1948/ . My favorite quote:

>‘This isn’t the game as you have been told it is played’, said Keel. ‘If you play Scrabble this way, no-one else will ever want to play it with you. It’s exhausting to look at a board in terms of positional vulnerability. Nobody thinks you’re smart for exploiting the small, agile words in the Scrabble dictionary. They think you’re a dick. This is not fun. We get something different out of this. This is tactical. This is satisfying. Your letters aren’t parts of words. They’re weapons and you need to employ them when you can do the most damage.
You may not even need additional insurance. Some insurance providers cover accidents caused by you, no matter the car you're driving - so long as it's not your permanent car.

For example, you borrow your friends truck and wreck it, etc.
How he managed to make quantum mechanics so ...titillating was quite a feat.
I disagree. Expecting people to invent novel data structures on the fly, under stress, is unreasonable. Usually the idea is to ask a question they haven't actually seen, but is still somehow solvable using basic data structures most people learned in school, maybe with a minor tweak for the problem.

Otherwise, it's unlikely that most people will be able to solve it in 45 minutes, even with hints, and then you don't learn anything other than that they failed at an unreasonably hard problem.

So, one of the problem's solutions being a binary tree isn't itself necessarily a problem. The interview could be done well or badly depending on execution, and we can't judge that from afar. All we really know is that a binary tree was somehow involved.

---

At least, that's the idea. Interviewing is still terrible. It's pretty random to base a hiring decision on a few (extended) questions, and I think interviewers are left on their own too much to come up with good questions. How do we even know what's a good question or not?

Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to choose twice as many candidates as you need and pick half of them at random, just so everybody is clear that there's a lot of luck involved and they don't take either success or failure some kind of precise indicator of someone's worth.

You could try scanning the UPC codes and saving those in a database. I guess then you would have to scan them again to remove them which could be tedious. Maybe that idea will spark some inspiration though.
Ah, I had glanced at their landing page before posting above and just saw the product. I didn't realize they were outspoken about things. This makes more sense to me now.
There are many more examples that I did not include. Like Redis (and AWS Elasticache), MongoDB, Cassandra, Akamai (and AWS Cloudfront), etc.

FB ads and TV/Radio ads are not the same.

FB has organic content that politicians and their campaigns can get involved with already to the tune of millions of followers.

FB declining all political money doesn't sound like a discrimination issue.
Yeah, it's jarring. In the linked post from 2016, they clarify:

> The real-time collaborative editing feature that we’ve been working hard on over the past year is finally ready! Our implementation is called “multiplayer” since it was inspired by cooperative multiplayer games.

But real-time/collaborative editing (or "live editing") had already been a thing for years. It's weird that they felt the need to rename it and slap a cool backstory ("videogames!") on it.
I'll second this. Many of them are fine but there are a lot of jack @$$3s out there on ebikes not considering they now have a motor powering their bikes.
It's funny they mentioned flowers, when today most online flower delivery services deliver bouquets that are often don't even look inspired by or related to the picture they put online.
Really cool idea - this solves a business model innovation problem for dealerships as well. I love the idea of being able to try for weekend BEFORE I buy or lease. Good luck with this - as a UX person I'd be happy to provide feedback on the app and service design.
> They’ll always claim your insurance almost certainly doesn’t cover rentals

I've never had such an insurance pitch. They usually pitch a “damage waiver” gap insurance which assures that any amount not covered by your insurances deductible is covered.

> I also find airports to be the WORST possible environment for this kind of thing; you’re always rushing to return your car so you can catch your flight. You are forced to just accept that the scratch on the back left bumper wasn’t there when you rented the car, because fighting about it will cause you to miss your flight.

Never had that experience either, everytime I've rented at a major chain we've done a damage walkaround at pickup, often the rental agency employee has noted things I would have missed, and on return (even at airports!) there's never been a problem.

Of course, I've never been so late back to the airport with a rental that pointing out that the damage was identified on the pre-rental walk-around would jeopardize my flight, either.

been a cyclist for a long time, know hundreds of cyclists, you are the first person I've heard say this. If you collide with a pedestrian or cyclist the likely result is an injury, with a car death becomes very likely. Statistics certainly back this up as the vast majority of cyclist deaths are due to vehicle collisons not bike-bike or bike-pedestrian collisions.

Are you literally "far more terrified" of pedestrians than cars, or are you looking for a way to appear clever and different than everyone?
The problem with Facebook is that it's too big. Different online communities have different standards of what sort of behaviour is acceptable. Facebook is effectively splintered, there is no one community and so there is disagreement on the community standards, to a degree that I don't think can realistically be resolved. Splintering may very well be the result.

If social media were more decentralized, the responsibility would also be decentralized. Standards would set by the communities. And as for overall standards, that would be dealt with by the legislature and courts, which would be a huge improvement, as those are way more transparent and fair than Facebook et al.

Abuse of power by Facebook (or advertisers pressuring them) would be much less of a problem if people could move more easily between social media platforms.

I think a more decentralized model of social media would be good all around. Add some interoperability so you can still communicate when you're not on the same platform, this should alleviate some of the tendencies for these platforms to become so big and centralized.
It wasn't called MIR for sure. People's Publishing House or some variant sounds about right. I am amazed that it's still there - does it occupy a cavernous space in the heart of the circle?

Edit: it's quite possible that what's called PPH now is the inheritor of the space I used to go to, but it's not the same space as far as I can tell from online photos.

I see this question come up all the time and the answer is that on average, fewer than one person per year dies due to a collision with a bicycle in NYC.

In fact 5 of the last 8 years had zero pedestrian deaths due to collisions with cyclists. [1]

Cyclists in NYC (and I imagine most cities) do not, and have never had, a history of "endangering the lives of others."

It's a fallacy to believe that the ability to determine the truthfulness of the content of an ad is binary. 100% or 0%. It's a spectrum. There are obvious truths, shades of gray, blatant misinformation, and everything in between. At the very least, they should clearly disallow verifiably false information. An advertisement aimed at Black voters with the wrong day for voting? That's clearly voter disinformation aimed at voter suppression. How close Facebook gets to the gray areas is by no means an easy problem, but it's patently false to pretend they can do nothing.
I've bought quite a few of the cheaper earbuds from Aliexpress, and there are problems with the really low end ones that you should watch out for:

- left and right earbud need to first pair with each other on startup before pairing to your phone. Otherwise you get one side paired to your phone and the other side is just dangling

- lack of volume controls on many

Battery capacity was actually never a show stopper for me - some earbud charging cases are 550 mAh while others are 3500. But the 550 one would already be enough for a whole day's worth of use, so by the end of the day I could just charge the case all the same.
Non-financially is a big one...they can really determine the outcome of elections here , that is a power they don't want to loose
This is such a tired argument, but I'll throw this out anyway: the parent isn't claiming that Facebook is legally prohibited from selecting which content they allow through their platform. They are legally allowed to choose to block certain content, but this does not make them exempt from public criticism.
Oh i see what's happening...this is Google' play to place microphones onto the wrists of those who don't use android phones - via fitbits - in order to capture ever more info for ads!

So biased that they team up with major conservative news outlets and regularly consult with high profile conservative politicians and lobbyists, you mean?

On an ongoing basis, conservative news sites tend to rank highly on FB's highest-traffic posts.

If you want to live in a fantasy world that's fine, but please don't spread nonsense. FB has teamed up with Breitbart - a news outlet explicitly described as a platform for the alt-right, with a Black Crime vertical - for their new Journalism work, and Zuckerberg sits down with conservatives on a constant basis: https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/10/14/deletefacebook-...
I hate my Sony MX1000M3 for this reason.
“Schools are underfunded” is not a factual claim, so I don’t see how it could be “false”.

Trump’s ad claimed that Biden promised Ukraine $1 billion to fire a prosecutor looking into “his son’s company”. This is an outright lie on several levels.
We don’t need journalists to have even more of a strangle-hold over political discourse. Because you know that any such institution would just let pass false information that just happens to comport with liberal beliefs, while giving enhanced scrutiny to assertions from other viewpoints.

I think the key difference was the USA preferred people on the space shuttle missions. It wasn't for lack of technology, which the whole system was computer assisted anyway, but manned missions are hard and require more engineering and technology. It was political and memorable, that was part of the demonstration and triumph.

It's very cool that the Buran completed a single 3 hour trip unmanned, it went down as the first unmanned space flight that not many people know about. There's nothing much more to say other than that, which is disappointing.

The X-37B and its predecessors have been flying for nearly 10 years. I've been following these programs for apparently a lot longer than I realized. The take away with this program is they are launching these missions without much fan fair and the only brag is the incredible amount of time these missions are active in space. Literally every mission I've seen has the same information being released which is a picture of the vehicle touched down and the time spent in orbit... that's it. As with the last mission, this will be forgotten, another will go up to space and in a couple years we will get another press release.
Netherlands and much Denmark aren't that cold in winter, many years it wont even snow. Further the summers are cool.
This makes absolutely no sense. Cars are much more deadly than cyclists and pedestrians.

If cars are so safe then just ride in the middle of the street. It's perfectly legal- bicycles are classified as moving vehicles.

Well, I'm the head of this family and this family supports the republicrats, so I'm going to be looking at your phone honey, to make sure you don't make a mistake.

Or, I'm offering $10 to you, junkie, to support my party. But if you want to be paid I'm going to use your device/private key/one time code to do it myself. Or maybe you're my employee and we'll have a voting party where I can see you all wisely agree with me.

The privacy of a voting booth where neutral officials who are supervised by all candidates doesn't allow either of these scenarios work.

Early-career setbacks can also set back your career permanently.

My first job out of college was with Taligent. That did not go well. (Well, there was OS/2 for a short time before that...) Then I worked on the WorkplaceOS/IBM's uKernel. That didn't go well either.

Since those first years, I went back to grad school, worked for a university, and got comfortable for far too long. Then I went back to IBM. (Don't do that.) Since then, I have worked for various "enterprise" things and other low-risk, low-reward endeavors. My salary peaked at about $120k.

That's traditionally been the problem with voting machines: a "recount" just re-read some tally.

Combine this with voting machine companies being opaque, not recognizing obvious flaws and their executives promising to deliver states to particular candidates (https://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0828-08.htm), and you begin to feel that all the suspicion is justified.
While this is pretty ingenious, and "solving" open source funding is a noble goal, there's a pretty practical impediment to GitRoyalty working in the real world: For new or existing projects, a big draw of open source is the on-boarding process.. You can download, install, and start playing with a library or application to see if it meets your needs with almost zero friction. And that's a big part of the selection process for any new project.

But with GitRoyalty, you can't even install the software to see if you want to use it or take a dependency on it.. without at minimum ponying up a credit card and signing up for a free trial.

My take is that this roadblock will turn away new users in sufficient numbers that it'll hurt projects with this paywall in place. Users will leave in droves for competing projects with less install friction. Not because they don't believe in paying, but because they don't know if they want to pay yet.

The projects that can afford to turn away users like this are the well-known ones with big-name maintainers, corporate sponsors, and thousands of GitHub stars. But these also happen to be the projects least in need of funding.

As difficult as it is to implement, a better place for a paywall would be after the user has installed the software, evaluated it, and decided to roll it out in production. That would bring the payment closer to the point of value, and also keep the on-boarding friction nice and low.
He has a seat in that table anyway, a front one. And even if he bans paid advertising, it is going to happen nevertheless through normal user posts. And if what you say is true, he should do the bidding of democrats and ban them.
That first paragraph you quoted is certainly prophetic but it also feels like it's dripping in bemused sarcasm at the novelty of the internet.
