> Myself and others would end up pointing out that yes, that's true of some blur collar unions, but that's not what we're talking about.

I'm not totally against unions, but it seems like that's probably how all the messed up union situations started.

As far as I know, they probably all started with good intentions to improve conditions where change was really needed. None of them started with the intention of creating a bunch of bureaucracy, nor to negotiate wages higher than the market can handle, thus jeopardizing the financial health of their employer, etc.

But, like all organizations (every type in every sphere of life -- government, private sector, charity, religious, and more), there is always the danger that once the organization gets enough power to fulfill its mission, it then moves on to using the power for things it shouldn't.

That's not a reason to dismiss the idea of starting a union, but it is a hazard to be avoided. So it should probably be part of the discussion, just not in a way that's used to instantly shut down the idea.
Idiocracy at it's best.

You missed the point. You can assert your rights all the livelong day, but without a criminal justice apparatus all you have are a gun and some fine words. Given the relatively high mortality among armed gang members in America's underpoliced inner cities, your gun isn't the reason you and yours enjoy relatively low mortality--the difference is either one of policing or fine words, and I'm pretty sure it's not the latter.
But you see stuff like that at music festivals as well, in the form of police. So I'm asking why this is scary or notable but that is not.
Hmm. Now I want to visit these areas. They both seem relatively small enclaves though. They must depend heavily on the outside state for .. everything. I wonder if it just evolved into a "they're cute, let them have their fun, don't let them vote" type acceptance from the rest of the community.

I've only been to the border. I was staying with Peace Corps volunteers and they risked getting fired if they crossed the boarder (I was told there have been kidnapping situations, but not sure if that's true).

US embassy officials have gone, but they are required to turn around if asked for passports since the US doesn't recognize them as a State. Members of the Peace Corps told me the Russians have supported the region with troops which they've brought in via Ukraine with Moldovan escorts, so there's all types of corruption leading up to that. I was visiting around the time the head of state of Moldova was arrested for embezzling several billion euros.
What if the concept is what leads to the corruption?

It's not tuition free, it has "fees" that replace tuition, and its accreditation is worthless, and the school goes to great lengths not to make that clear to its applicants.

And your "UC Berkeley" statement says "will consider", not will admit and not will transfer. It's very very mealy mouthed in terms of whether anyone actually gets in.

You're the one with the incentive to spread misinformation, and that's exactly what you're doing.

What would my incentive be? I've got multiple actual accredited degrees I'm working on another. What does explaining what this school is actually doing benefit me in any way? "National accreditation" is essentially worthless. This is known in the academic community, it is less well known to the people institutions like this prey on. I personally know people who have been taken by these institutions and I don't like to see it happen to people.

All I'm doing is telling people the misinformation you're feeding them.

I think that the concern you touched upon is essentially the lose-lose quagmire that we as a country arrived at during the onset of the cold war, a war that I believe never truly ended. To answer your question: the problem with mutually assured destruction doctrine is that it necessarily results in an arms race that no superpower can pull out of. Sadly, I question whether a country can be a superpower without also trending more in the authoritarian direction.

All people should have self-determination, culture be damned. All societies should have self-determination. Period.

That’s why I drew the logical connection to authoritarian concepts. No one is forcing anyone to be more free. That would be impossible. Freedom is a choice one makes for oneself, individually. Keeping someone from being free can be forced upon another. Society can do this collectively through laws. These are nuanced differences between freedoms and liberties, which some people don’t have.

I don’t know why you focus on the culture when people are why the culture exists as it does, not the other way around. The status quo benefits from dominant culture and from keeping established power structures in place. You can’t use the culture as an argument to justify a form of government that removes human rights. Just like I can’t sign a contract that gives up my Constitutional rights. Those in less free countries are not given the choice of more freedom.
IIRC the general idea is that the pin code or password is required to be entered when an update is requested, which unlocks a key pair. The public key is included in the update request, which is then sent to Apple. Apple sends back a download that is signed in a way that the firmware can verify, and Apple guarantees never to send another download in response to that exact request. This protection also relies on the secure enclave never authorizing the installation of an unsigned OS update.

IIRC it’s a joke referencing the pop song “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen and the unreliability of many of the systems he tests.
Not really. At least on Linux, the scheduler is O(1). There is no difference between one process waiting for 10k connections, or 10k processes waiting for 1 each. And there is hardly a context switch either, if all these 10k processes use the same memory map (as threads do).

I've tested this extensively on Linux. There is no more CPU used for threads vs epoll.

On the other hand, if you don't get the epoll imementation exactly right, you may end up with many spurious calls. E.g. simply reading slow data from a socket in golang on Linux incurs considerable overhead: a first read that is short, another read that returns EWOULDBLOCK, and then a syscall to re-arm the epoll. With OS threads, that is just a single call, where the next call blocks and eventually returns new data.

Edit: one thing I haven't considered when testing is garbage collection. I'm absolutely convinced that up to 10k connections, threads or async doesn't matter, in C or Rust. But it may be much harder to do GC over 10k stacks than over 8.
I think it's the real problem of the industry. It used to be that Intel had a strong brand because you'd buy a new computer in three years that would knock your socks off. It isn't that way anymore, and from the top of the bottom of the stack we should be addressing perceived performance.

My #1 frustration as a Windows user is that every so often an applications or the whole system freezes up for a few seconds. I use MacOS sometimes and also Linux and I don't think either one is much better.

For instance when I launch a command prompt often it is up in <1s, but sometimes it takes 10s. That's a very simple program, but often there are security checks involved; even ssh logins to a linux server on a LAN have a long-tail distribution in time-to-prompt because maybe some daemon was swapped out.

I would be satisfied I had some visual indication that progress was happening (ALWAYS AND <100ms LATENCY) and some insight into the process (e.g. real progressbars... if hadoop can do it, why can't pandas?)

We don't want to trouble people with details, but what's the harm in telling the user we are waiting on a 30 second timeout?
It's really strange how people in this thread refuse to believe that the "reform the police" option even exists. As though we must either have a subpar police system or no police system at all. It's also strange how many people think that getting rid of the police will just work itself out.

I’m not familiar with python but it seems like there is a glaring performance bug iff using one thread per connection is faster than using async io.
The case count, though, doesn't tell us much because the cases come from testing. More testing mean more positives. The most important thing is whether the ICUs are being overwhelmed .

From my understanding the primary use of concurrency in Erlang/Elixir is for isolation and operational consistency. Do you believe that not to be the case?
Async python is faster when you use it for running parallel tasks. In this benchmark, you are running a single database request per query, so there is no advantage to being asynchronous: a pool of processes will scale just as well (but it will use more memory). The point of async is that it lets you easily make a Postgres query, AND an HTTP query, AND a redis query in parallel.
That's not my argument. My argument is that if you permit a Chinese monopoly, as the person I replied to suggests, and then break it up, also as they suggest, you would royally fuck the US domestic economy.
They can't launch directly to Mars. The idea is to have a 'fuel' Starship designed to carry fuel reach orbit.

Believe it or not, grocery stores charge money for shelf space. Premium shelf space at eye level commands premium prices. The reason Smuckers is highly visible and not buried at the back or on the bottom shelf is because they’ve paid the premium price to be visible.

Tulsa Race Massacre: This is what happened in Tulsa in 1921
Only a minority of people view the candidates they’ll be voting for as “the lesser evil.” For the rest, they’re voting for the person they want in power. The recent Democratic primary is proof of that. There are a lot of progressives in the Democratic coalition who will vote for Biden because he’s the “lesser evil.” But all those voters who woke up at the last minute and drove Biden to a decisive victory did so because that’s who they wanted. They want someone to basically maintain the status quo and make modest changes, and do so without the racist tweets.

I find it hard to take comments seriously when they make statements that just don't accord with reality.

The media treats cops according to what's best for the story. Lately, that involves being extremely critical of them. In other times when we aren't in the midst of a pandemic, mass unemployment and then nationwide protests, and the story is that the cops shot a criminal suspect, they use euphemisms like "officer-involved shooting." The media narrative today is extremely hostile to police.

So when I see "only a handful of incidents," I feel there might be a bit of an agenda behind that. Knocking down the World Trade Center twin towers and a side of the Pentagon were only a "handful of incidents," too. Not to mention the number of unarmed black people shot by police last year (nine total). All of those are a disgrace, but the sheer number of atrocities that happen are irrelevant to how unjust or outrageous the atrocities might be.
