For people who date / screw around with coworkers (either below, same level, or above) - why? Doesn’t app-based dating make finding a partner easier than ever? This extra layer of drama where you have to see your girl/boyfriend 5 days a week on top of actually working your job must be so unnecessarily stressful.

I’m so glad I never once did anything like that. There must be so many people anxious over stuff they did even decades ago - a few tweets and your career can be destroyed! Just stay away from that noise!
Actually, quite a number of places around the world still engage in healthier politics than America. Want to know why America suffers so much from such partisanship and extreme ideologies?

It’s your non-mandatory voting.

Don’t blame the internet, which serves other countries well. Blame your special political system for incentivising the rise of extremes over the rise of politicians who “have” to care about the majority.
"It's because the people around you suck." Isn't that the core problem with all social media? If people didn't suck we wouldn't be having this discussion about facebook.
Only 8 countries in the world have a worse value than the US for per capita deaths. That's the data you're providing to support your statement that we're not doing badly? Should a country this rich be ranked at the bottom of the world in mortality?
> I would hope the healthcare system of the most advanced economy on earth would fare better than "middle of the pack" when it comes to mortality.

But this is the healthcare system widely derided as the _worst_ in the developed world. Methinks if we were dead last in deaths per capita you’d be saying you aren’t terribly surprised either.
They did, which was the shocking part! If you believe their claims about profit distributions (which you probably shouldn't), the total cost might even average less than $70/mo.

One of the engineering teams I work with is building an image pipeline to correct rolling shutter distortion from a robot camera. I still have no idea how they're generalizing a solution to different types of movement and angular velocities, but at least now I understand the problem and a taste of the math behind it.

Thanks for sharing!

...which by the way makes no mention of the theory here, that woody plants did it.

The oxygen "event" discussed in TFA did not fall within the period covered by Knoll's book: the first 3B years of life on earth. Lignin started to pile up only after plants came along. I haven't read the book, but you're probably thinking of "The Oxygen Catastrophe", which was caused by cyanobacteria.
You come across as weirdly upset and condescending about this. Why do you care if someone else wants to waste their money on a shortcut to avoid introspection about their poor impulse control?

I bought one of these things within 2 minutes of reading the blog post we're commenting on. I don't really need to "reflect" on the reasons that I sometimes have poor impulse control. It's not like not knowing why I'm sometimes tempted means that I'm no longer tempted.

And part of impulse control is "tying yourself to the mast" to avoid temptation in the future. It'd be stupid to keep piles of tempting junk food within arms length at all times and then berate yourself for "poor impulse control".

Similarly, it'd be stupid to put tons of social media, notifications, and games just a click or two away from where you're trying to do something hard and meaningful, and then berate yourself (or others) for your lack of reflection on your poor impulse control.
These things are a fantastically bad idea that can't be used reasonably.

A nationwide ban is insufficient. Let's seize 100% of the makers assets to pay for removal and any claims starting with the kid they already poisoned.

If not they are profiting while the people pay for the externalities.

Don’t forget that Cuomo absolutely lost his shit a few months ago when Rhode Island’s governor proposed banning /quarantining New Yorkers.
Thank you very much— that's awesome to hear!
> "Only later, in the late 20th century, did computers become more compatible, as open standards for hardware interconnects, communication protocols, and file storage formats were adopted. And the rise of FOSS in the 1990s also did a great deal for this."

The rise of the Wintel duopoly in the '80s and '90s did that; FOSS operating systems didn't have enough market share for OEMs to take notice until the early to mid-2000s.

(Arguably, FOSS operating systems still haven't had an effect on the fundamentals. There is no open standard by an independent standards body for the architecture of an x86 PC/server. It's governed by Microsoft's HLK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Hardware_Lab_Kit )

Burn qualified immunity to the ground and salt the earth. This would be the simplest way to keep police accountable for their behavior. It would also imply a massive change in how policing is done (demilitarization), so that's two big wins.

We can lay a lot of the rotten police problem in the USA, and the world, at the fact that the accountability just isn't there.
I would trust this comparison more if it was NYC / Hong Kong / London etc

But yeah I like Europe-area economic and financial centers for proximity to the rest of Europe and they are all centrally located in a diagonal line from London to Dubai.

I wish the US had a similar centrally located clusters, instead of the coasts at the far extremes of the continent.
Both. Wheat you listen to in private listening does not effect your recommendations.
A) a lot of people who do pirate in console are current customers. They spend quite a bit of money to get access to "every game ever" and stop buying new games.
B) a lot of other ones hack the console in order to play hacked copies of the game in multiplayer, which ruins the experience for paying customers.
This is interesting. My friend built this - https://arbazsiddiqui.github.io/rSlashVideos/ which curates videos from a subreddit and sort by top, new, etc.

It's fascinating to see so many cool projects built over reddit.
There's a part of me that hopes one side gets somewhat of a sustained power over time, just so we can see how it really plays out. You know, for science.
I understand that, I have a house on a well.

That bit is covered by my first response:

> Almost entirely rural. These people aren't digging up roads, but it's purely a right of way issue on the poles (if they're getting real high speed internet either way).

The part you seem to take issue with is the part where I think I had reduced the subset to people who have an issue getting current infrastructure, probably because it hasn't been maintained properly (thinking of flint like situations). I'm admitting that there are cases where they have bigger utility issues and systemic problems managing those utilities, and probably don't have the bandwidth to deal with a new one.
Most folks I know think Sweden totally messed up for political reasons, same as the US (but for different political reasons).
My own experience is that nobody cared about Obama (and the ones that came before him) but the media are trying their hardest to report any negative news about Trump.
I genuinely want to agree with you. I want to be an optimist. But this it outrageously naive. And here's the proof in one completely in-context quote:

> I am hopeful that all of the problems (political, COVID 19, economy, and racism) that we face might unite the country.

Literally, (LITERALLY), one of our political parties is spending its energy at the moment denying that the final three problems exist, and blaming the controversies about them on the first, explaining how it's all the fault of the other party.

I mean, we actually do have politicians in this country who want to see solutions to that stuff. You should consider voting for them instead of tut-tutting them for not being centrist enough.
I believe that these days many big enough latency optimized systems use a hierarchy of storage solutions (magnetic, flash, RAM).

Here's a useful rule of thumb: the costs per byte of RAM:flash:magnetic are approximately 100:10:1.
Sadly, due to licensing agreements, nothing can beat the breadth, depth, and curation of the classic not-legit sites that were shut down. I pay for Spotify, but several albums I have on e.g. CD are not available there, and you can't put local music into a Spotify playlist or vice versa.
That doesn’t sound good. We had similar black screen behavior. It turns out that disabling hibernation solved the problem.

You are talking about theory, GP is talking about the actual computer systems that police have today. And in fact GP already made good suggestions for bridging the gap:

> far stricter processes should be in place, more similar to getting approval for a new airplane or medicine

Charitably that's only half of the story. Their security model was ... not great in the past.

If as you claim their security PR problems were all due to poor decisions by users then where are all the people slamming Apple for all the vulnerable systems caused by postponement of updates? What about Ubuntu, Fedora, etc?
Is the title something the BBC came up with? The paper itself certainly doesn't mention anything about neutron stars that are cool.

I would say that anyone with the means to enact real, positive, humanitarian change that continues to follow the dollar, long after the dollar has replaced their brain cells, is seriously, pathologically misguided.
Does Steam fix the Terraria issues? When I used to play video games, I never noticed that it acted weird on Linux (even in Wayland or with a tiling window manager).
> our country (USA) is strong enough to survive either the republicans or democrats in control of both houses or Congress and the White House.

Usually yes, but the executive branch has currently gone rogue, i.e. been firing investigators, stealing 500B of taxpayers money without any oversight etc. This level of corruption is unprecedented for the US and it is clear that the foundational system of checks and balances does not work anymore.

> No, the country will not crash and burn

No but it well might be a slow descent into a Russian-style "democracy" instead.

> I’ll note that nobody reposting Beto’s “we’re going to take your AR-15s!” line

How about you quote that line instead of paraphrasing it (like the grandparent did for the Trump tweet), and you'll find that there are some significant differences between literally threatening violence and announcing a regulation policy entirely in line with existing policy and a ton of proposed legislation.
Do you want to know who loves you in silence?
Is a typical thing (i.e. infrastructure) that the government (federal, state and local combined) should pay and maintain ?
Clearly letting private companies doing it is not working in US.
Dig once, lay enough municipal fiber, and rent it to any ISP that want to reach houses/buildings.
Use that opportunity to properly lay the phone, cable, and electricity, and rent them out as well to the local provider of voice, TV and electricity.
And the nice bonus would be uncluttered street, no more poles and wires going from building to building.
Yes, it is expensive to lay down fiber, phone, cable, electricity. But if we had done the investment 20 years ago, it would likely be ahead now, with lower cost for customers, and a thriving environment with more innovation...
Most BYOD policies I’ve seen (10 years in info sec and 6 as a consultant) allow you to bring your own personal device but as soon as you do it basically becomes company property. The physics hardware is yours but any information on it is owned by the company and the company can take physical possession of it temporarily if they need to do a forensic investigation.

Likewise most WiFi policies I’ve seen say personal devices are forbidden from the corporate network and have to run on the guest network, which is usually not monitored as heavily.

Please read your employee handbook, (IANAL but based on what I’ve experienced) legally companies have to disclose this. Unfortunately many people do not read the e-handbook and are upset when the learn the rules they’ve unwittingly agreed to follow.

BYOD or personal devices, just always imagine that if it’s using any corporate resources, the company will claim ownership if there is any dispute. And depending on your e-handbook, they’re likely to win a legal battle because likely you signed an agreement saying they can.
> There are plenty of good cops out there: I know and have worked with a bunch. In fact, some of them go after white supremacists.

There are, I'm not a "All Cops Are Bad" kind of guy. But there are absolutely bad cops, and since cops get punished severely if they report other cops bad behaviors, it's impossible for outsiders to separate the bad from the good.

Cops need to fix their own shit or this will continue.
This is talking about very different issues than the ones identified in that paper. Most of that paper, if not all, does not directly apply to Cargo.

Could you expand on that? I'm really curious about what the differences were.
I think people are too judgmental. My point is just that people are biased about the facts, not that I accept the underlying belief that a lower death rate means virtue or intelligence.
Principally, the Register Globals change that turned every POST & GET entry into a variable was removed entirely in PHP 5.4 (1st of March, 2012), and the was old Mysql API was removed in PHP 7.0 (3rd of December, 2015).
FWIW, people are not that comfortable here exhibiting that free speech.

A lot of the interest comes from seeing how far comedians can go without the much more powerful government doing something we don't agree with happening to them. Usually, if the government wanted, there is some way to make anybody's life miserable.

It is still very easy to piss off powerful people, even though it isn't a routine thing where everyone is afraid of criticizing. People aren't afraid of criticizing.
Yeah it's pretty jarring to have this suddenly stare you down while trying to read.

The Center Blows Itself Up: Care and Spite in the “Brexit Election”
Never heard of this described as the "expertsexchange" problem but I understand what you mean :D I see they have changed their domain now to include the hyphen, lol. Haven't visited it for many years.

Serves them right though, cluttering up google searches with resolutions hidden behind a paywall. That's karma for you. And bad preparation obviously.

But anyway, stackoverflow/stackexchange have rightly taken their place.
They’re not searching your watch or phone unless you’ve connected them to the corporate WiFi and/or accessed corporate information using those devices. The devices they care about are ones used to access internal data.

So no, don’t leave your phone and watch at home. Just don’t connect them to Wifi at work or your work email/calendar. Make your company provide you a corporate phone if they want you to answer email on your phone.
There's only about 10 countries in the world which have enforced mandatory voting, and a couple more where it's on the books but never enforced.

And plenty of those are not exactly examples of good governance or non-extreme politics. (Ex: Brazil).

So I don't feel your claim is very well supported by the evidence.
It is astonishing that some commenters here are trying to argue that the US is experiencing anything other than an accelerating disaster right now. We are going to witness what the unrestricted spread of this virus can do to a developed nation. This is due in no small part to those who would vocally downplay the effects of the virus, its penetration into the population, and/or the necessity for drastic public health measures.

The EU makes cold hard calculations on matters such as this - I am glad they have my back.
> After @sprig, I took off and traveled the world.

Apart from the spelling, where do I even begin with this last tweet? I'm sure that most right thinking folks know what I mean.

Edit: just to clarify, I'm looking at the optics of walking away from a failed business that was a glorified takeaway (that thought it didn't have to obey food health rules - that's yer disruption there eh?) and still having enough money in the bank to "travel the world" and expecting us to feel sorry for the poster. Most normal business owners would never be in that advantageous financial position.
So... merger of two neutron stars, resulting in a black hole? If we see black hole mergers all the time, why not neutron star mergers?
But it's Microsoft's ass that gets dragged through the mud for decades when unpatched Windows machines cause problems for others.

I'm not sure that's entirely fair. But in any case, Microsoft's reputation is certainly being damaged by the long series of failures caused by bad updates to Windows 10.

No one in this thread seems to be up to date on that. Everyone is complaining about the Windows 10 of 3-5 years ago, completely unaware that things have changed a lot.

The important facts haven't really changed. There might be some small quantitative improvements, but qualitative changes are required to fix this problem, and Microsoft is still stubbornly refusing to make them because they don't fit the business model under Nadella's leadership.

Sadly, until there are viable alternatives so a large proportion of Windows users can jump ship, they'll probably continue to get away with it too. The only other potential way out I can see is if governments step in and start regulating because the damage is becoming sufficiently painful that voters/businesses are starting to send a significant number of complaints. I'm not sure we're there yet, even though plenty of people have been stung by a bad update at least once already.

The timing of this announcement could have to do with the ad boycott.
Your quoting is unparseable without watching the video...

Paulson said about Obama: "He very nicely warned me, 'You better take care of the Republican candidate, because if I start hearing populist anti-bailout rhetoric from him, I'm going to have to start talking that way.'."

I.e. Paulson claims Obama said the sentence starting with "You better...".

And just reading this sentence makes me wonder what the context of why Obama said this.

Stoicism’s Appeal to the Rich and Powerful
Analogies are by their nature imperfect. The analogy here is that <item> is being criticised in ways that are no longer true, where <item> in the case of PHP is specfically "insecure by default", regardless of it's many other flaws. Seems fair to me.
If society were savagely racist why are asians not pushed in that direction?

But lets say this is true: it still means the whole police thing is a symptom, and not the cause. So the big question (and elephant in the room) is, what can be done.
Debian is not Windows. Debian is a well-tested collection of frozen-in-time packages that receive backported security fixes (an approach that does not scale to applications the size of Chromium and Firefox). Debian doesn't have to do any marketing; stability on servers is of the utmost importance.

Windows, on the other hand, "needs" to have new features annually or biannually for marketing purposes. Same with macOS and iOS. Windows is an integrated system, not a collection of packages.

While I agree that constant releases are annoying, I do understand why modern software is released frequently. Companies that make money off of ad engagement (like social networks) do A/B testing to make money. This usually requires frequent updates.
I am voting for Biden no matter what. I almost always vote for Democrats, but using a weird metric: I try to find out who funds candidates, and vote on which doesn’t smell as bad in the sense of taking special interest money. Both parties are bad, but the democrats are I think not quite as bad.
Ok. Conversation is good, when people are not talking. But we need progress on hard topics. Compromise.

How long do you need to talk before you get to: I don’t care. I’m taking care of my family. End of discussion. Or, our firm needs to grow in order to be competitive (and other economic ideologies of continual growth)? Or, government regulations are too burdensome. Let this be decided by the people who live (upstream) here.

I’m not inclined to be generous for half a discussion. If Snowden wants to lead, then lead.
My solution to this is to use a LTS type release that's reinstalled and configured once every few years for boring desktop work. Almost never add or remove any software, just apply updates weekly or so.

For dev or other technical work I find a more up to date system that undergoes frequent changes and might break on occasion to be tolerable.
It catches 100% of fraudulent transactions though.

True. I just see projects fail more often than not due to time/budget and/or shit code. Rarely do I see it fail because what was built didn't meet the business needs.

Although if you're in start-ups, they plan and then build terrible products all the time so the attention to upfront planning and the business needs is way more important in that realm.

I always thought only hiring police officers from the area being policed was a good start.

I don't mean that if you hire someone they have to move into the district. I mean that your pool of hires is the people who have already lived in the district for a particular amount of time (years).

The locals know what laws not to enforce and how to gain the trust of the community.
> Are there actual, current examples of systemic racism where an entirely non-racist staff would still produce racially-based biased outcomes?

If you removed all racists from the economy, black people as a demographic would still be at a huge disadvantage for a very long time (or forever?). The playing field might not level on it's own.

If a system starts out with biased functions and runs long enough so that the distribution of the state is biased, removing the biased functions doesn't necessarily guarantee the state will return back to an unbiased equilibrium.

Removing explicitly racist laws doesn't remove the biases embedded in the system from two hundred years of slavery and terrorism. There is a complex feedback loop of education, economics, and cultural attitudes that have locked the imbalances in.
