In my experience, you're better off avoiding NFS as much as possible. (Perhaps except when you're sharing a filesystem between VMs on the same machine.) Try something else, perhaps rsync, unless you know what you're doing. NFS over a VPN -- probably in for a rough ride.

In NFS, you can set mounts as 'hard' or 'soft'. If hard, errors will get you stuck until the share is back. You probably don't want that. If soft, you're slightly better off, but remember that the retry settings are all per-mount, and perhaps one size doesn't fit all.

As far as I know, when NFS goes awry, you get the same or similar behavior to a hypothetical HDD/SDD that just explicably decided to no longer do anything for a while. Your processes will be in a D state and won't be killable for a potentially long time.

It's interesting to see how much history and evolution of things can be seen in such a short period of time. We can assume that this will trend will get stronger to newer generations, meaning that in 20 years' time the person writing this type of essay could be making it twice or 3 times bigger due to the amount of things to be said. Looking at consumer electronic goods alone, this is a mind blogging perspective. 12 years ago I used to watch movies with my fiancee on a tube TV and DVDs. Now I watch Netflix with my kids on a 4K UHD screen connected to the Internet via a fiber optic cable. Who knows the stories my kids will be telling when they reach my age.

> It's frankly amazing that crypto and the blockchains behind these digital currencies can't be perceived by so many here for the potential they have

They've been around over a decade, generated an absolute ton of hot air and fanboyism, but have made next to zero impact on the real world or even on the rest of the tech world.

Ten years is long enough for anything 'with potential' to show at least some signs of realising that potential. But nothing much has come of it other than gambling and scams.

It's looking like a bust.
Airlines almost never make profits, because their revenue and main cost are strongly pro-cyclical:

In the booms, they fly full, but with high fuel prices.

In the recessions, they fly empty, but fuel is cheap.

Covid-19 has devastated travel, but also dropped the oil price - still no profits.
And not surprisingly, we also have firearm permits too.
> Because on the flip side, airlines could keep canceling flights on less popular routes when they're not at full capacity (i.e. not/less profitable).

This would lead to them getting fewer customers as they got a name for awful reliability, like Alaska Airlines have a reputation for being assholes from top to bottom, or United have a reputation for destroying musical instruments.

If you want to more directly disincentivise cancelling flights when people have booked already set a minimum payment to the affected passengers, as in the V EU.

I love the creative design of this site/app! There are so many gems in here. I’m now trying your updated iOS app in TestFlight, kids are using the old version.
1. I recommend changing Fornication Island to Seduction Island and changing the picture from a behind in the water to something else. Kids love this app and it should be kid friendly.
2. The icon for the old version is a better design and more memorable. I suggest changing it back.
3. Making the map look more like a paper map would be a way cooler interface, though could be tough since you’d need one per decade. But it would REALLY make the app unique.

I don’t think you understand the problems associated with the “just sell the slots” idea. The problem is that big airlines could buy up slots and then not use them. They wouldn’t necessarily have an incentive to sell them, either, because the buyers could be small, regional, or low-cost companies that could leverage them to build up a small but profitable business and later take on the bigger airlines (as happened with Europe’s budget airlines, most notably EasyJet and Ryanair).
Unforeseen? Only because the people who created this rule couldn't be bothered or allowed to spend a few extra minutes thinking of edge cases.

Verification can be as simple as decrypting a drive, identifying collaborators, revealing new crimes, new investigatory pathways (bank accounts, travel movements, etc.. These can be impractical or impossible to discover without additional information.

Yes — because such behaviour results in losses for the company and, if sufficiently extreme (i.e., pushing them to bankruptcy) is self-correcting (they leave the market and vacate the slots).

Website Mapping Coronavirus Infections over Time
The "decade with a single music genre" is much more a US thing than (say) a UK thing. The popular music scene in the UK since the 1950s at least was always divided into different genres and subcultures, many of them substantial in size and frequently with only a plurality for the largest. But I'm not even sure that the US really matches this description either. It's mostly a fiction created by mass media rather than reflecting the situation on the ground.

I was around when two "major" popular music "moments" happened (punk in London in the 1970s, and grunge in Seattle in the 1990s). It has always been striking to me just how few people were involved in these subcultures, and how hidden they were until one day they weren't. Punks in London in 1977 were a tiny, wierd, shunned group that got a lot of attention. Grunge fans in Seattle in the early 1990s had a handful of venues and a lot of people wondering why these people were wearing second hand plaid shirts.

It's even true of the hippies/counterculture at the end of 1960s/1970s. There were always far more "squares" among their generational cohort than there ever were members of that "group", which is why I get irritated with people who think that "hippies grew up and went to wall street". Not really. Maybe a few, but wall st. got populated in the 1980s by people who never were and never would have been hippies - which is to say, most of the population.

They are currently auctioned almost nowhere. Instead, they are permanently owned by incumbent airlines who never paid for them. Additionally, incumbent airlines lobby against slot auctions, see e. g. https://airlines.iata.org/analysis/the-dangers-of-slot-aucti...

Guaranteeing safety is absolutely a crucial part of it. And if you pull something out that doesn't work, giving people a false sense of immunity would also make things worse.

And safety shouldn't be underestimated. The story of dengue vaccine development is a cautionary tale. The first time you get dengue is usually not too bad, but it can be deadly if you get it again. Part of that is hypothesized to be driven by your own immune system, which, once immunized against one strain, produces antibodies against it in the next infection. However, if it's a slightly different strain of dengue the second time around, the antibodies meant to neutralize the disease are believed to make the disease more virulent instead (antibody-dependent enhancement). The immune system makes it worse. So when a dengue vaccine that didn't fully immunize against all strains was developed (not deliberately, people tried to immunize against all strains but this is a case where less efficacy than expected made things worse), it didn't make things better. It ended up priming people to get dengue.

Biology is super weird - even something as "simple" as vaccine development has a lot of unknown unknowns. And as dengue showed us, it's not just a case of "it might not work," because it could make things worse. That's why we have to run these clinical trials and take time to do things right, especially for something that would be as widely deployed as a coronavirus vaccine.

Are you suggesting they wouldn't sell? They would still be masks, just not having a certified efficacy; I'd imagine if you put a pattern on them and sold them as decorative items you could side-step liability too.

Except that more or less nobody in the 1990s thought that "popular culture peaked in the 80s". Most people were glad that that cursed decade was over and we could move on from its absurdities and cultural lows.

I’ve heard the same in a lot of places. After #metoo got rolling and “guilty until ... fuck it, accused means guilty, #believesurvivors” became the norm, I heard a lot of guys in higher positions say they wouldn’t work closely with / mentor a woman if they could in any way avoid it. If they were accused, their career and possibly marriage would just be over. As you say, just not worth it.

I don’t share this feeling, but then, I may live to regret it. It only takes one bad actor.
Why This Ad Is Effective. How It Can Be Improved
You really are pretty mistaken on the music (I'm 35). I'm guessing you are just exposed to bad pop acts like Mylie Cyrus. Keep in mind that most popular music in the 1960's and 1970's sucked too. For every Beatles there was 10 Monkees.

There's been an incredible amount of innovation in music in the last few years (except rock. It's dead). Creation has been democratized, so there's more people making music than ever before. You just have to know where to look. I listen to KEXP Seattle [0] quite a bit, which is a community-supported station.

> Why is unbridled cynicism towards sm so prevalent here?

I open Facebook. I click on someone's story. I see a static image and try to read it, but it disappears after a few seconds. Often it's promoting an event, so I'd like to click for more info. But I can't. Sometimes it's a short video but I can't stop it or easily replay it. So my reaction is the same as it is when I encounter a website that shows an auto-playing slideshow that I can't stop. "This is stupid." And I hit the back button and don't return. Now I see FB stories as merely a thing to ignore that takes up 30% of my screen real estate when I visit FB.
That's assuming you know when the drop will stop, otherwise it is the worst opportunity.

I'm quoting RationalWiki because invariably - on topics which I understand - whatever I read on Quillette is whacky nonsense, while the summaries from RationalWiki are much better aligned to my independently drawn conclusions. Basically, I don't trust Quillette.

Which you can see from earlier comments of mine - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... . ("More Quillette nonsense." and "I don't understand why people keep linking to Quillette. Just about every article I've read from them seems like poor-quality scholarship.")

I also don't trust editorials (even in large corporate media like the NYT) - and this is an editorial.

And because my understanding of "evolutionary biology" is that the field is close to a joke, full of just-so stories which are not based on evolution, anthropology, or history. (See https://evolution-institute.org/why-evolutionary-psychology-... )

So there are several strikes against me placing trust in the honesty of this piece.

Academia is hard-left? LOL! Who's been brainwashing you? At best it's American mid-left, which is far from hard-left.

Do we see most professors marching in support for unions for college employees and grad students? Do we see professors on strike for increased salaries for grad students and adjuncts? Do we see massive numbers of professors advocating for free college education for all, and against the MBA takeover of universities? No.

Even then, those position wouldn't be hard-left - that would be average European.

As I’ve answered elsewhere: burning fuel (and sustaining other operating costs) while they squat on slots ultimately ensures that squatting on too grand a scale and/or for too long will result in bankruptcy and thus ensures that the system is self-correcting (by limiting incumbent advantage).
This article brings up one of the biggest problems I have with our justice system. When someone is falsely suspected or accused of a crime, they typically have to hire a lawyer and take time off work and out of their lives. This can cost thousands of dollars that many people can't really afford to spend. The police or court may eventually say, "oops, our bad," but the accused typically has no way to recover what they spent on their own defense. The whole situation is asymmetric given that investigators, courts, and prosecution don't have to spend personal funds to conduct investigations and try people in court.
