> (Your back-and-forth about "few" vs "some" vs "1%" or whatever just proves the point about oligarchy.)

I don't think that it proves any such thing, except apparently in your mind. Nor do I think that I was going "back and forth" between "the few" and "some". The 1%, perhaps, if you accept Warren's plan as targeting them.

By the way, this oligarchy that you think rule - are they more or fewer than the 1%?

I think that your point about Sanders is rather a large concession on your part. You seem to be saying that "the oligarchy" are concerned that Sanders might win, and therefore are orchestrating press coverage against him. But if they are concerned that he might win, then they clearly don't rule. Otherwise, they would have no such concern.
Why? Do you want a driver without a CDL or endorsements driving a hazmat load?
A lot of the evidence seems to be anecdotal. I've heard multiple interviews of people who have worked in various functions over the years at MCC where Epstein was being held.

All have noted how tight the security is (its often referred to as the "Gitmo of the East"), how so many failures would have to occur for him to be able to do what he did without anybody seeing it happen, or not have someone realize he was trying to kill himself and stop it.

I remember an interview with a high level jail admin and when asked about Epstein and what happened, he just laughed. The host asked why he was laughing and he basically said, "I worked there for 15 years, no way this happens with the security they have there. Someone was paid off or it was an inside job. There's no doubt in my mind when I consider the kind of people Epstein was linked to."

glad you are enjoying your Quest. I did not consider it, but it remains something of a niche platform. not approaching mainstream.
I'll have to dig deeper into the creation mechanic but this would fill a need that I've got to recreate table-top games but for distributed groups of friends that haven't been able to devote the same amount of time as before to gaming.

We've been trying to work through Risk: Legacy, Pandemic, or other, longer-run games (I would think Axis & Allies and other longer-run strategy games as good candidates for this thing) in-person for years and it's hard to find the time.

It'd be awesome to be able to continue things on a platform like this, but would obviously necessitate creating a version of the game on the platform first. I like the concept!
The US no longer has a foreign policy explicitly built on the protection of American commercial interests abroad. If you haven't noticed, we no longer invade countries (e.g., Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela) when they threaten to nationalize industries that the US has a large stake in.

If you believe that the foreign policy is built on that premise, but that the government is lying about it, then the burden of proof is on you to show that lying is in effect.

I did not claim that they outperform RSA in particular and I would not call RSA a state of the art public key cryptosystem. Actually, I would strongly suggest against using RSA without first having a deep dive into the field of number theory. However, for extreme RSA key sizes (e.g. 4096 bit) NewHope does actually outperform RSA and definitely outperforms some ECC counterparts.
You create the rings of concrete around the cylinder while you are carving it, so actually not so much concrete. I am puzzled about the engineering required for the base, but on the paper it looks quite neat.
Sort of: "I 'want' to have sex with him because I don't get to decide not to have sex with him and keep my job"
The pragmatism of investing in the superficial to satisfy other people's expectations does not make it less superficial.

We waste an absurd amount of time fretting over image collectively for one reason: to satisfy each others need to judge things by their covers --IOW, to satisfy each others need to make flawed judgements.

It's wise for one person to care about their image, but not for a whole group of people to gatekeep the way we do based on aesthetics.

I'd be more specific and state that they should be consciously building systems to manage these things, even if it's done manually by them. This provides clarity about what and how things are being done, and let's them more easily scale (or kill) the process.

The kill part is important because when you are thinking systematically you're more likely to be able to communicate the details, or other people can observe it and make recommendations. It's hard to kill things that leaders are effectively doing in secret and stealing time and attention from an org.
It's basically the same amount of code that you would add for any one other OAuth/OpenID Connect provider. The value they add, at the most superficial level is that you only have to do that once, as opposed to N times for Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. Admittedly, when you are doing it N times there is a lot more code you can share so its more O(log N) additional code.

Also, at this point I think haveibeenpwned makes it very clear that having a password database in 2020 is a huge liability, and any options that move passwords out of your own databases and into someone else's problem seems like the smart idea.

(I'm not affiliated with Auth0, but I have used them for projects where Azure AD didn't make sense, as I do fear owning passwords in my database in 2020.)
Oil is a very small part of electric generation. Natural gas has gotten a lot cheaper than coal, which is why so many coal plants are being shut down.

More recently, renewable has started to get cheaper than natural gas.
I wonder what they would have said if her response had been, "OK, David can leave. I'm fine right here." It's hardly like they could fire her for refusing to leave her job after her boss knocked her up. Unfortunately all these kinds of hypotheticals that come up in these situations are impossible to test, because the person without power always has too much on the line to stand up and fight.
> The child doesn't get a choice about being brought into the world, so your desire or intent to produce a child is irrelevant. If you don't want to father a child, don't do anything that could reasonably lead to producing a child. If you father one anyway, that's on you.

That's on a man no more than it's on a women if she gets pregnant and the previous agreement was that the guy had to use condoms and he didn't. Otherwise what you're saying is "if you don't want to get STDs or have kids never have sex". Luckily that's not how the law works.

On a related note, I just got my Pine64 Pinebook Pro, and it's much better than my beloved Samsung xe303c12 in all apects. Lightweight, FHD screen resolution. No need to fiddle with the OS.
Horrible messy business logic to fulfill a short term contract. It's been a long time, but if memory serves it was used for data ingestion. The file was 6000 lines, the worst method was over a third of that, closer to half.

It never really worked, as some of us predicted while the project was being ramped up. Without going into too much detail (most of which has gone from my head anyway), the speed of light won and we used a different architecture which obsoleted most of that code.

However, if I and the other people who said it couldn't be done had gotten our way, that sale would have gone much worse for us. Decisions from incomplete data and all that jazz. It went live and the customer and we cashed the check with less than two months of operating capital left, while the lawyers were still futzing around with term sheets.

The irony is this was also the owner who thought he was rallying the troops and instead filled us with existential dread every time he tried to give us a speech. Why I wasn't aware we were scraping bottom of the barrel until six months later, I'll never know.
An abortion doesn't result in a person so it's not really comparable. My understanding is that the vast majority of surgical or medical abortions occur due to either 1) grave risk to the mother's life 2) serious genetic defects or malformities in the fetus or 3) well before viability (during a time when spontaneous abortions are also common)
The challenge becomes what to do next. Do we follow Lenin's teaching and attempt a revolution, do we structure our society around trade-unionism, do we need to invent a new form of government, or are we destined to a fascist future ruled by increasingly imperial powers?

The corollary, which I deal with a lot, is that allergies such as MCAS and other mast cell issues cause tongue edema with the same effect. Antihistamines (H1 and H2 blockers) can help in the short term but have severe drawbacks, such as interfering with melanin formation. Ginger and many antidepressants, such as elavil, are also extremely potent antihistamines.
Well, that seems to be a fact, but it is not a reason to not regard it as suspicious, and not a reason to not investigate.

Not that I've seen, but I suspect my experience is pretty far from typical.
You should check out the Literal type in Python. It provides for some of the stupider things in libraries, like return types that vary based on the value of an input parameter, as in Python’s open() method, which might return a text stream or a bytestream based on the value of the second parameter.

Debating that there wasn't a conspiracy is different than debating if he killed himself (which can't be proven). So far, there has been a coordinated effort to obscure accountability and records. This is SOP for the US Federal Government, when trying to hide misdeeds from the US population. Typically, we only get windows into what happened later when political opponents need ammunition or decades later when there are deathbed admissions.

So it is in fact very much how business works... between bad PR and company cultural issues. This stuff matters.

Not to mention businesses have customers and investors who care about these things.
The idea that business cares only about profit is just plain wrong. The law people think of is almost never relevant. Each year, millions of business decisions are made knowing full well that it will cost a bit of money, not bring in any (or even good PR), but is the decent thing to do.

As but one example: Google once gave us money for a non-profit event, in no way related to their business, with explicit instructions not to mention them.

For my desktop I want as much power as money permits. And the most important thing is ergonomy, since I rather invest into my eyes and wrists than into the silicon.

This is reasonable, but it's very hard to be outside the sphere of influence of a company's top officer, even if you are formally not a direct report. At the very least, it is risky for that top officer, because it would be hard to shake off any accusations of coercion, were they brought up. And, of course, actual coercion becomes much easier, within certain range.

That's not exactly how it works: Bucklescript is a JS backend for OCaml, and ReasonML is an alternative syntax for OCaml. Bucklescript is not involved in this translation, it generates the JS output on the top right pane of that UI.
I agree murder wouldn’t fit here (unfortunately), and I was speaking more in the context of negligence - there were definitively intentional things done that affected safety, with intent to either violate it or withhold information about it to third parties. Manslaughter definitively, but 'involuntary' I feel doesn't apply (nor does "voluntary manslaughter" because there wasn't that specific intent), which is why I'm going with "criminal negligence".

Specifically what I’m getting at is that they’d have a hard time claiming that they reasonably didn’t think any harm could happen given the context of what was said and done/not done.

Some of the biggest of .NET Core's advances in stack allocation (and resulting performance boosts) likely won't make it into Unity until around the release of .NET 5, though. It should be interesting to see how Unity adapts when the tools show up.

If he's powerful enough to pull strings to kill himself, why wouldn't he pull strings to disappear?

If I want a conspiracy theory involving Epstein's power here, it's going to be that this is how you disappear if you're powerful enough, and the phrase "Epstein didn't kill himself" is correct not because his death wasn't a suicide, but because it's not his death.
For example, if you want to do email verification the limit is 1000 emails/day. Though for paid tiers the limits seem reasonably high.
Also, those things suffer from the same issues as those pointed out in the OP: a server motherboard crammed into a desktop case; the built-in VGA graphics comes from the integrated "server management engine", limited hardware support/driver availability, etc. Lots of fun to be had for lots of money!
> "too critical"

That wasn't my takeaway. My takeaway was, "Good. Pressure is finally getting through to the masses of complacent co-conspirators who still have enough of a soul to care. Maybe things will finally start changing."
Epstein might still be alive and the whole thing some sort of elaborate witness protection scheme to protect him from all of the people who want him dead. So there might not be corruption all the way to the top.

Corruption seems like an easier explanation though.
It's an easy thing for a third party to check, easier than evaluating technical skill, and easy for a motivated person to fulfill. As such, it also serves as an easy filter that has a lot of false negatives, but probably fewer false positives than a non-subject matter expert trying to evaluate expertise.

It also signals consideration for other human beings, not expecting them to jump through a bunch of expertise evaluating hoops, but instead allowing them to rely a commonly agreed upon and decently useful signal. Consideration for others is yet one more important thing to signal.

You need permission to build an extension to your home.

It doesn't.

RAIDZ is part of the VDEV (Virtual Device) layer. Layered on top of this is the ZIO (ZFS I/O layer). Together, these form the SPA (Storage Pool Allocator).

On top of this layer we have the ARC, L2ARC and ZIL. (Adaptive Replacement Caches and ZFS Intent Log).

Then on top of this layer we have the DMU (Data Management Unit), and then on top of that we have the DSL (Dataset and Snapshot Layer). Together, the SPA and DSL layers implement the Meta-Object Set layer, which in turn provides the Object Set layer. These implement the primitives for building a filesystem and the various file types it can store (directories, files, symlinks, devices etc.) along with the ZPL and ZAP layers (ZFS POSIX Layer and ZFS Attribute Processor), which hook into the VFS.

ZFS isn't just a filesystem. It contains as many, if not more, levels of layering than any RAID and volume management setup composed of separate parts like mdraid+LVM or similar, but much better integrated with each other.

It can also store stuff that isn't a filesystem. ZVOLs are fixed size storage presented as block devices. You could potentially write additional storage facilities yourself as extensions, e.g. an object storage layer.

I'm trying something a little different. My sister-in-law almost became homeless for the 3rd time in a decade. The past 2 times friends have stepped in to house her for below-market rents, but got fed up with her after a few years each time. She did live with her father for about 6-months to a year the first time, as well.

My spouse and I are fairly well off, so we decided rather than let her flounder for another decade or two, we'll buy a 2-bedroom condo, rent it to her, and let her rent out the second bedroom to someone else to supplement her income. We're hoping that with the knowledge that she won't become homeless (we can support her if she fails to pay rent, but we would rather it doesn't come to that), and with the additional income, she can claw her way back to a normal situation.

The real problem is that her job simply doesn't pay enough to live on. She has 2 degrees so I would think she would be able to get a better job, but due to some mental illness, she's having a hard time doing it.

The truth is that my spouse and I don't really know what we're doing, but this seemed like a reasonable way to help and give her some independence. What she really needs is better mental healthcare, but unlike houses or rent money, that's not really easy to just give to someone.
