The master/slave nomenclature is a completely different issue than “master branch” in git, as has been noted many times in this thread and related threads.

On an aside, that’s a profoundly awful website. At one point, over 60% of my screen was filled with ads (top banner video ad, bottom banner image ad, inline text video ad).
I totally agree: pinning to a single CA is super-fragile and a terrible idea, and if you don't have a need for public certs, doing a proper private PKI (Small-step is a good choice here!) is a good place to go as long as you can run it properly.

However, whether you're running your own or pulling public certs, you should go into any PKI setup assuming you'll need to change out all the certs at some point. If you're going private, make sure you have a mechanism to replace everything--yes, including that private root you just created!--in a safe and secure fashion. Preferably, that would include some manner of doing so that doesn't involve blowing everything up and leaving existing clients high and dry...but that's a business decision to make.

If you're going with public certs, you still have to make that assumption. I see too many developers still pinning trust to a single root CA like Let's Encrypt or GoDaddy and then being stuck when the CA in question is revoked, replaced, expires, or is booted out of public trust, or just because their business insists they use something different. The solution to this is a trust store, which you can make as minimal as you want to: pick two or three public root CAs, stick them in a blob, and tell your app to accept nothing else. That leaves you an out, for the next time the cert industry has a Symantec-like event and everyone has to get off that train right away, since you can move from one of those to another one without having to change anything in the app.
Please don't trivialize the word 'gaslight' by applying it to corporations.
No, it's still insane, because it assumes that humans don't have two brain cells and cannot understand context. Master/slave make sense in context where....that's exactly what these things are. Why call them something else? Because these words, when used in a human context, are or can be offensive?

Like, ants(if I remember my biology lessons correctly) use other insects as slaves. In that relationship, ants are the masters and some other insect is the slave. Should we change biology books, because these words can be offensive when used in the context of humans? Why? Any functional adult should be able to distinguish between the two.

For other possible examples - should Montenegro change its name because negro can be offensive when used to describe humans(and even then not everywhere, it's mostly American context where it is)? Should we start renaming all islands, lakes, forests where negro is used in the name? In fact, I know that Finland is doing already this, which makes absolutely no sense to me.

Really, if this whole thing is offensive to anything, then it is to human intelligence more than anything.

Your claim is false. When Apple made the decision to not allow Adobe Flash on iOS, there was no App Store. Apple did not allow third-party apps, and writing HTML5 was the only way for any third party to run anything on iOS.

That changed later, and clearly Apple enjoys the 30% now, but the grandparent comment is 100% accurate, and your first three sentences are 100% false.

The fourth statement is accurate, though!

created this throwaway to say: I worked for a month at eBay and it was an utter shitshow. I came in to replace a guy who built a prototype app without version control, which wrote uploaded files onto the same hard drive that the app ran on. first thing I did is I put the code into git on my local machine. a few days after that, the hard drive had too many files uploaded, and it overwrote the code base.

the guy who left set the project up to fail, not realizing he had done so. total unprofessional BS. the only reason the app could be restored at all is because I noticed this rookie mistake and put everything under version control immediately, on my first day. (the guy who left had turned in his work machine and it was probably already wiped.) did they thank me? no. did they at least speak to me in a professional manner? also no.

just one data point, of course, but my impression of eBay was that it was totally toxic and not a place where managers needed to know anything at all about what they were doing in order to get ahead.

To be honest the whole master / slave discussion is laughable because:

1. Most humans have ancestral past as slaves, be it serfdom or thraldom.

2. Etmologically the master branch is associated with the concept of a master copy, not a whip lashing plantation owner.

3. Slavery is pretty much a thing of the past, accept from certain parts of the middle east and africa. And let us not forget, the producers of our consumer goods in asia...

The company.

That year, Germany had a team and it trounced all the other countries who had one or two star players, most notably Brazil. Individually, none of Germany's players became a superstar in Football. It was a lucky combination of technically decent players who just fit together perfectly to frustrate the opposition. Literally.

I would be interesting to see whether this common narrative holds true in the data.
This isn't about me getting my way. I'm just very, very opposed to the idea of someone wielding massive amounts of power without it being a burden. Power is burdensome because it means responsibility. If you just want just the power but not the responsibility, you're being a parasite. It's not okay.

I think prison time is the minimum one should expect from this behavior. That's what astounds me about this story.

Ok, let's assume you're a sociopath or at least a bully and you believe this action is justified or appropriate in response to some offense. You're already well outside of normal behavior, but let's take that as as given.

We're still talking about six or more wealthy, middle-aged people with astoundingly good jobs (in the grand scheme of things) being willing to risk their livelihood, their reputation, their wealth and their freedom over "someone online said something bad about the company I work for"? Even if what the couple published in their newsletter was invalid (and there's no suggestion that it is), we're talking about throwing your life - and that of your immediate family - away to "punish" an Internet troll.

This wasn't just some rash decision, this was methodically planned and executed over several weeks or months. They bought plane tickets. Practice for crimes in the company parking lot. Set up fake social media accounts. Got pre-paid credit cards. Imagine sleeping on this decision 90 times over and still thinking it's a good idea?

And the icing on the cake is how could they remotely think they would be able to get away with this? Multiple _death threats_ over weeks or months over "don't say bad things about ebay" and they thought the police might _not_ take a good hard look inside the company?

How did they think this would play out?

This is so crazy. It's cult-like behavior.
Thank you, I have read through your analysis as well and think it has a lot of interesting points.

Regarding retention, I chose to not incorporate regulatory or underwriting risk driven cancellation to capture demand driven cancellations only. I expect as time goes on and Lemonade's capital increases & they fine tune the underwriting model / better price risk, these Company forced cancellations will decrease, as they have the past two years.

I'd be interested to know what % of customers transfer to a competitor vs. not needing the renters / homeowners product anymore.

I do agree with you, however, that this lowers their implied customer lifetime even further, and by extension unit economics.

That's a fair point, but it's often hard to find a single agreed upon moral compass at an entire company.

Also, I would bet that a review of this from a business point of view might make a moral stance moot. If that's the case, it seems like an easier way to avoid a minefield.
Not really, this is more akin to using a laser to destroy something at a distance. The neutrinos would interact with soil near the weapon, some of these reactions would produce neutrons which would go on to induce fission in the weapon, destroying it.

The idea that solar neutrinos impact decay rates generally assumes that neutrinos are directly interacting with radioactive isotopes (usually through some unknown physics).

Serious answer: because bandwidth is terrible. A transmitter the size of the LHC can only produce enough neutrinos (a few quadrillion per second) for a detector to receive a hundred per second or so. Accounting for noise, that means you can only achieve a few bytes per second at best, and again, that's with using the LHC to produce the neutrinos in the first place. With far less power you could instead use ultra-low frequency radio waves and still get better bandwidth.
Out of interest, do you guys know of other such great data sources for other games, for example American Football?

Or are those things mostly proprietary?
> It seems to me that, unless it comes from the mouth of a black person

I would even say more, a non-american-black person. It's like forgetting that even though most of american-black people have been subject to white master/black slave slavery, most black people on earth are African black, where they have not been subject to white master/black slave slavery (they have been subject to white colonialism, but they've also been subject to black/black slavery)

You can argue that the electronics themselves are not that interesting, or that they are overpriced. That may be true. But Lego's manufacturing quality and QA is legendary. The fact that these robotics kits are seamlessly compatible with the entire system opens up some really fun possibilities.

I would recommend visiting a fan exhibition when things get back to normal. The things people come up with are astounding. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFD2e3IxO_c is the readiest example I could find).
The answer to that question would depend on how the employer has treated other applicants of the opposite gender in same situation (that is, being married to a female). The law hinges on disparate treatment; it does not account for what the employer cares about.

How long does it take to create a 16TB file? (2007)
Screen space consumption was on the rise since Windows 1.0 days, there was a story recently [1]. Horizontal tiling mode become unusable [2] vs [3].

I think it traces transition from power users to casual. It makes sense, but there was no alternative. Screen become cluttered so much that most applications run on full screen only. And web become spoiled too - sticky headers everywhere (uBlock fixes this), wide content (media queries kicks in much narrower windows, Stylus to the rescue).

Explorer (shell) decorations is much to blame. Do we actually need task bar, title bar, menu bar, tool bar, status bar, scroll bar? I do not think so - plenty of space and distraction free [4]. There are a lot of tiling managers on Linux, but Windows has its share too. Like dwm port [5] (never tried on Windows) though I prefer wmii and xmonad with wmii layout.

Apologies if you believe there’s a conflict in my belief system. I don’t. We’re just arguing over the “how”. If you’re shooting for impact, make sure it’s exceptional.
You know they hoped this would never come to light and they wouldn't have to admit that it happened.
I think you are correct, technically the end of Dennard scaling is separate.

> This has failed, but transistor scaling [...] has not

Not entirely true, around the same time Dennard scaling ended, transistor channel length scaling also slowed down significantly (Although I don't know if they are directly related). It's not a short topic and i'm no expert, but the summary is that process node name values no longer directly relate to transistor dimensions, and scaling has become more "strategic".

In my mind the end of Dennard scaling marked the beginning of the end of the road. The challenges are becoming more fundamental and yet process node reduction no longer yields the same benefits - meanwhile it's becoming realistic to count cross sectional areas in terms of numbers of atoms... the road really is short.

Not that we wont find another road ;)

I think many of the commenters would openly embrace the label of complacency. That's part of living in a country with a diversity of views; sometimes, when you see people doing something terrible, you have to accept that they don't see it that way rather than going on a warpath to exclude them from polite society.

You're right, and it goes much deeper. These corporations effectively own enough of our data to trivially deanonymize and target people. An organization of people who believe they are morally justified in they cause are liable to abuse such information, regardless of which side they belong to.

That's the most terrifying part to me as a dev. We don't even need neural networks to search petabytes of social media content for keywords. If we allow corporations to become politicized then we open ourselves up to unprecedented abuses.

Years of articles from major outlets all over the world and researchers that wrote about it

Even Wikipedia acknowledges it

> Russia has supported both the Yemen Arab Republic and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen on several occasions and established close relations with them.

Or in a recent study published on February 2020

> This chapter explores the antecedents for Russia’s solitary abstention vote on UN Security Council Resolution 2216 in April 2015, by analyzing the Russia-Yemen bilateral relationship under former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and Russia’s handling of the 2011 Yemeni revolution that heralded Abdurabbo Mansour Hadi’s presidency. It then examines Russia’s reaction to the outbreak of war and shifting positions on conflict resolution within the context of Moscow’s strategic interests in Yemen and regional power projection ambitions.

Unfortunately, packing your things and running is basically impossible for most people anywhere close to that situation because borders are enforced and countries will find any excuse possible to avoid granting refugee status. The "you could've slept in a forest, never interacted with anyone, and foraged for plants for survival" kind of excuse that LGBT folks fleeing from countries where they're likely to get murdered get.

An underserved niche market of people who have significantly less money because they can't find work - and your company won't hire them because your other customers who actually have money will boycott you - isn't worth much.

> As a result I subjectively find that despite having significantly weaker hardware, no perspective correction and no subpixel-precision PSX games often end up looking a lot more impressive. And that's got a lot to do with the incredible texture work these games use: https://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/243918-vagrant-stor...

OTOH, Vagrant Story came very late in the PS1's life (the PS2 came out like a month later), that's from an in-engine cinematic scene, the texture swimming issues aren't really noticeable in a screenshot, and it's hard to say for sure, but that may be a screenshot from an emulator.

The real experience was a bit more like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GVE4a8ULww&t=912 (screenshot is from around 15:13).

Still pushing the hardware to the max, but games in a similar part of the n64's lifecycle (especially the ones requiring the expansion pak, Majora's Mask, Banjo-Tooie, Perfect Dark) also look pretty remarkable for the time.

> The meaning of Mens Rea is not dictated by the state of New York.

The New York Penal Code doesn't attempt to define, or use, the term mens rea. Rather, it defines levels of "mental culpability" which are themselves referenced in the definitions of crimes. That is what mens rea means. It seems increasingly clear that you don't yourself know the meaning of the term, and you're certainly not more able to dictate a meaning than the state of New York is.

But feel free to compare this Australian legal advice:

> Mens rea offences are offences which, to be proven, must demonstrate an accused both committed the physical act (actus reus) as well as had a guilty mind – that is, the intention to commit the offence (mens rea).

（ https://www.gotocourt.com.au/criminal-law/vic/honest-and-rea... )

Australia treats the term mens rea in exactly the same way the state of New York does, by defining different levels of it and using those levels to define crimes. Compare these two crimes defined by the Crimes Act 1958 of Victoria:

> A person who, without lawful excuse, intentionally causes serious injury to another person is guilty of an indictable offence. Penalty: Level 3 imprisonment (20 years maximum). [I.4.16]

> A person who, without lawful excuse, recklessly causes serious injury to another person is guilty of an indictable offence. Penalty: Level 4 imprisonment (15 years maximum). [I.4.17]
Well, mayors should have some pressure levers on police department to punish them, like restricting funds for bonuses, or even removing police chiefs.
If you want stability on bare metal servers without having to pay the RedHat license then CentOS is the way to go. I've using to work with lots of bare metal servers and we used to run debian on everything until we started to have issues with kernel panics on machines we used with xen. We changed a few machines to CentOS and never looked back, in a spam of a few months we migrated all servers to CentOS and had much less stability issues. Not to say that debian isn't very stable as well, but RedHat puts money and effort into making their distro run on various enterprise level hardware.
Ah interesting, thanks!

It seems then that master doesn't seem like a very loaded word in the context of git.
Even so, changing it would then not be very impactful as well (not counting any CI/CD or other config that relies on the master branch name).
