It's common in Europe (maybe an EU harmonised regulation?) to require that if you can sign up from a web site then you can also cancel from a web site.

The one time I've talked to a human to cancel a service, it was Three and it was a pleasant surprise because although their retentions team did end up keeping me I got a huge discount over not only what I was paying before, but compared to the competitor I was leaving them for. I have no idea how it's even profitable to give me service at the current price, maybe it isn't and just drives somebody's retention-based bonus?
Also, it's kind of a self-selecting population. This statistic is likely skewed towards those with an infection bad enough to warrant getting a test in the first place.
I admit it is confusing. LXC typically means the lxc-* commands like lxc-start and so on. That's the daemon-less "old way". The links the grandparent provided was to this, and their complaint is about that stuff that is in maintenance mode and not actively developed any more.

LXD is a complete rewrite. There is now a server daemon called "lxd", and the client for that is "lxc".

I wouldn't say they chose it - under shareholder capitalism, they are beholden to maximizing the returns for their investors. Conservatives who like Bari Weiss (do such people exist?) probably aren't subscribing to the NY Times, while people who despise Bari Weiss and Tom Cotton are cancelling their subscriptions in protest.
I'm not looking for advice.

This is not advice, just an observation from years of dealing with health issues that had my sleep extremely deranged for years:

The lymphatic system is run by muscle action. This is how it works:

Lymph is blood, minus certain blood products, like red blood cells. It leaves the blood and seeps into the tissues, where it gets labeled by humans as interstitial fluid. Then it somehow has to make its way back to the blood system.

The problem is that the blood system is run by the action of the heart. How do you pump fluid once it is beyond the reach of the heart to make it flow back into the circulatory system? The answer is: The rest of the muscles.

When you are physically active, lymph flows back into the blood system at multiple times the rate at which it normally seeps slowly back into the blood system. One source I saw suggested it flows back at 6 to 8 times its normal speed when you are active.

Lymph is how the body takes out the trash. It's how your body cleans up garbage in the system.

Walking regularly has proven to be critical to my ability to manage my genetic disorder. My genetic disorder boils down to being a bottleneck in the system and taking out the garbage regularly in a sustainable fashion that doesn't overwhelm my frail system has proven critical to my health and has helped me reverse a lot of issues that the world tells me cannot be reversed.

The brain has a separate lymphatic system with a separate name. I think they call it the glymphatic system.

The brain only takes out the trash when you are a sleep. Flushing fluid from the brain is a primary reason we sleep.

In my experience -- my long healing journey -- naps follow physical activity because taking out the trash in the rest of the body triggers improved capacity to take out the trash from the brain.

Brain/nerve tissues are the slowest to heal of the entire body. Cartilage gets no direct blood supply. It gets all nutrients and all garbage removal via osmosis. All surrounding tissues have to be cleaned up and improved in status before cartilage starts to heal.

Brain tissue is also "last served" and seems to follow a similar model that all other tissue has to be improved before the brain gets served. The fact that the brain's lymphatic system is a separate system and there is a blood-brain barrier regulating the flow of various things into and out of the brain are likely factors in why exercise promotes sleep.

But I don't think anybody did get fired? Who of the signees of the Harpers letter is actually being hurt? Even if they _were_ fired, why is that bad? Most of the people who signed that letter are professional writers in some form or another, and their job is to write stuff that people want to read. If people don't want to read it anymore because they write dumb stuff or sign their name to stupid letters, how is that anymore an issue of free speech than if I got fired for writing buggy code or insistently arguing that we should be coding everything in Perl 4?

You can say all kinds of dumb shit and sign your name to stupid letters and other people get to call for you to be fired, and maybe you will be! Even after that, you can continue saying dumb shit and signing your name to stupid letters, and I can go write buggy Perl 4 code, and nobody can stop us! Your dumb letters might not get published in national magazines and I probably won't get paid much for my code but in neither case is this a violation of our free speech rights.

What is a devops engineer? Devops is a culture as originally defined. With sysadmins and software engineers.

And, yeah, sysadmins used to say no a lot but younger ones tend not to because they haven't been rubbed wrong by the silo's of yore.
"You are not your code" When somebody is criticizing code you wrote they are doing just that, criticizing code. It isn't a personal attack and they aren't trying to hurt you.

Why did you quote Zig Zigler? Seems a little out of place. Also, I felt that the first chapter needs to be more compelling - but maybe that's just me.
There's also the greater point in that we have no clue how long immunity is conferred for once someone has caught the virus. There seems to be some indications that people that were asymptomatic or had an otherwise mild response might have shorter term immunity, which means we might revisit this pandemic in a matter of months if we were to simply give up.
It takes a lot to produce and push government propaganda. It would require a tech company to essentially turn into a government run news organization if they were to do it. Which kind of defeats the purpose of even having different businesses, rather than all of them being propaganda producing news outlets.
Your statements are overly hostile and hyperbolic. There's been plenty of great software out of Google and lots of good ideas taken for granted. I'll give you folks trying to build things the Google way without Google tools or scale is more often than not the wrong thing to do, but that doesn't invalidate the good.
There is a cost for not getting on a hype train. CEOs rather waste a couple of billion dollars on that machine learning/AI hype train, because if they don't hop on that train, Wall street folks see these companies old-school, not innovating. So, they bring in Chief AI officer and write about about how machine learning gonna help their companies in the Quarterly reports. Even if they lose $2B in this AI venture, just treat as insurance premium to keep the stock price going up.

Same with all these technologies.
At some point, there are risks you can't realistically control. There will always be extremely unlikely but theoretically possible catastrophic outcomes. Working DNS is great until global thermonuclear war or a supervolcano erupting renders the Internet rather irrelevant, for example.

A sensible policy is to look at the risks you can do something about, try to assess how likely each threat is and what damage it would cause if it actually happened, and then make your plans taking into account how much you want to control those risks and what it costs you to do so.

On this scale, something like the total collapse of law and order or the failure of the core infrastructure of the modern Internet and its governance processes is obviously less likely than one commercial service provider pulling the plug on unspecified or unreasonable grounds.

I had hoped that GitHub's culture, Nat Friedman as a CEO, and Microsoft's seeming acceptance of Open Source lately would combine to maybe prevent GitHub from turning into Microsoft SharePoint For Code.

The apprehensiveness of sysadmins May have been justified in the world 5 years ago but today it sounds somewhat out of place. Note that critically evaluating new technologies is still an important skill and many infrastructure people I work with are extremely cautious about adopting new tech without spiking/getting to know it. But the sysadmins with the penchant for saying no is probably one of the reasons the devops movement actually kicked off: developers and infrastructure folks could see the immense productivity gains from being able to ship code quickly to production and got onboard the technologies that enabled this after being frustrated with the amount of time that traditional software deployment processes took.

So in today’s world, that kind of attitude is hardly productive. Skeptical? Absolutely. But open minded.
Don’t bother with a small selection of random opinions that may or may not have an agenda that doesn’t align with yours. Simply go to the monthly who’s hiring posts and compare Ruby to Python etc. for the technologies you are considering. You will need to understand that Rails is actually the keyword you are looking for rather that Ruby and I don’t know enough about the Python ecosystem to help you but I think maybe Django is the major player in that space.
The systemd/RH relationship is complicated. Red Hat doesn't use most of systemd's features--they don't even ship systemd-networkd on RHEL8, preferring NetworkManager instead. On the flipside, I see more use of systemd's features on Arch or Debian.

I don't think you can frame systemd as some kind of RH trojan horse when so little of it makes it into RHEL/Fedora.

Ah yes, citizen journalists such as Michael Tracey, who will enlighten us with their insanely dishonest, disingenuous and bad takes on every single issue. Really looking forward to it.
It's a personality cult at this point; they will never even entertain the idea that the glorious leader can err, or that if he does, it's for our own good.
I'm certain something like Quickbooks could integrate each one of those bullet points.

I think the underlying issue is not every consumer has a background in accounting. People want basic information tagging without the 'complex' components from tax reporting. This is analogous to thiel's assertion - it's difficult to sway consumers if there isn't a 10x improvement from one tech to the next. Accounting software is very much like that. You might find different improvements, but you're also constantly making trade offs (price, setup time, etc.).
> It's a disgrace and one of many many many reasons why Tesla needs to outright fire Musk.

I drove a co-worker's Tesla and I loved it--and I will never buy one for the reasons you mentioned. I'm glad Tesla exists to force other automakers to compete on the electric front, but that's the extent of my admiration for them.

That is basically a senior engineer for a year.
I mean my current company got our first million users with four used poweredge nodes and two database servers. Since we were using bargain basement equipment we were extremely paranoid about hardware failure and so every little aspect of our app was built to handle 2 whole nodes failing simultaneously and every service running on those boxes in VMs was two-failure redundant as well.

I mean ops isn't simple no matter where you're hosting it but it's not any harder than when I worked at AWS shops.
Congrats, you've named one bad guest. They're currently on episode #1505.
There is a huge difference between having an ACID store of Truth surrounded by eventual consistency, vs making even your store of Truth eventually consistent. You're basically doubling or tripling your work for any given constraint because you have to both monitor after-the-fact violations and build in a way to resolve those violations.

This is on top of regular "nope, can't do that" code that you would write in both systems.
And who gets to decide if someone is a racist?
The way it contrasts to Confucianism is very interesting. It seems like they were trying to break cycles of clan based violence in addition to being very utilitarian.
Yes the computer still has a purpose but in my opinion the view on this is a bit blurred when growing up in the western part of the world.

Just take a look at countries like Africa or Cambodia: Most of the people (if not all) own a smartphone and there is a lot of places where you will have a hard time finding a computer.

I tried to use a tablet for work when traveling but it did not take long to spot the drawbacks and buy a real computer to do serious work.

The mobile ecosystems force us to do this because they stop us from unleashing the full potential of these tiny computers.

Imagine something like an iPad that would allow the user to just install any software that this tiny computer can run. Also you should be able to copy and access files from/to any other location on the filesystem. I could use it for most of my daily tasks at work if iOS/iPadOS would not prevent me from using the tablet in that way.
Restrictions on foreign-owned companies operating domestically in China applies to many industries -- this is not something unique to TikTok, information companies, or even tech companies. This is something that is often discussed in regards to trade negotiations.
Revisit this comment of yours in a decade.
You'd be surprised how much an acquisition changes priorities. Suddenly the CEO of your company is a middle manager at the acquiring behemoth who is at the whims of their generous crop of Senior Vice Presidents, and wants to keep them happy because s/he has a ton of unvested stock on the line.

I don't know what the precise cause of this bad support is, but I would wager that an acquisition by Microsoft will shift GitHub's priorities away from Support and towards Enterprise Sales.
Well, what did happen to them? The implication of your statement was that they were obviously totally fine, but is that a given? It's possible they were miserable and then died. Switching careers is not always easy and smooth.
Do you plan to provide an API to build cool stuff around this? Congrats on the launch.
I don't talk to computers other than to demand a human. I doubt very much I ever will. It's why stuff like Alexa and Siri is doomed to fail. People don't want to communicate that way.
And if one doesn't go in that direction (eg theater & film or literature) forcing them is not going to be very productive after all... This should exist for sure but only optionally for the ones highly interested.
I am implying that governments (including court systems) often make decisions directly and indirectly to protect domestic companies at the expense of foreign companies.
An academic source that can describe a pre-propoosed methodology and doesn't have the appearance of being explicitly anti-CNN.

You can't seriously think that "the only people we can believe are people who openly call CNN hacks". That's just an admission that you only believe people who agree with you.

Put another way: there was a recent article on HN about using sources who you had uncertainty about, because those sources give you the most information (in a bayesian sense, they cause you to update your priors the most). The source listed gives me no reason to update my priors, because I could predict the result from the source.
And they are consistent. Make it work in the few distinct layout configurations and specific hotel appliances, and then it can repeat on all the rooms.

I think your first impulse was the right one ... ;-) In general, HN threads fail on pure politics topics. (Sorry, friends, for the scold, but it's true.) We don't have enough people who have expertise on politics and media. Add this to a fact-free piece like OP, and you get blech.

The current administration and its cheerleaders have figured out how to turn trolling into a weapon, leaving the NYT befuddled as its model of well-intentioned fact-based debate (on the oped page), and "above-it-all" stenographic reporting (on the news pages), has broken down publicly. For earlier failures, see the boxes marked "Hillary's e-mails", and "Iraq, Invasion of" -- but it has gotten worse recently.

The NYT still does great info-graphics, non-politics reporting, and deep investigative scoops. Under Baquet (who I don't like as editor - I've been a regular reader since the mid-90s), it did successfully transition to a pay model for subscriptions -- and it has a lot of subscribers. This is more than most papers can say!

But, as noted, there are real problems with NYT reporting. They have not adapted in some key areas. This will require fundamental change that Baquet seems unable to do. Jay Rosen of NYU is my go-to source for analysis here (blog and twitter). See in particular: https://pressthink.org/2020/06/battleship-newspaper/
> What exactly does "collective discovery" mean in the context of a newspaper?

National Review will often have a chain of columns between two of its writers going back and forth debating the merits of a particular position. That is what collective discovery should look like - a publication should encourage views that the editors might disagree with in order to understand the different perspectives on a topic.

Now, it's all about people "canceling" each other.

> What is the new "orthodoxy"?

I thought this was made pretty clear - the new orthodoxy is the Progressive Left way of thinking. Given that a term is a label, I'm not sure what would clear it up, but she does give examples of things that went against the orthodoxy (Tom Cotton's op-ed), and what it consists of (in the paragraph starting "All this bodes ill, especially for independent-minded young writers and editors paying close attention to what they’ll have to do to advance in their careers...").

Can you give me a direct quote of her intolerance?

I scanned the Greenwald article, but just saw quotes of other people saying she is bad, but not direct quotes of the bad things she said.
Best practice for an ISP that is implementing CGNAT is to use 100.64.0.0/10 as per RFC 6598. That way, your customers can use private IPv4 (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) and you can manage your ISP network in the 100.64.0.0/10 space.

Your CGNAT looks after translating your customer's ISP address (ie, the 100.64.0.0/10 side of their CPE).

Of course, the best solution is to move to IPv6 and allocate each customer:
* a /64 address out of the ISP's network space
* a /48 (or /56) delegation for their own network

Maybe different people have different standards, and HN isn't a completely homogeneous group with a single viewpoint. Just like every other group where individuals are free to express themselves.

You're not allowed to advertise it to the general public. You can still advertise it to prescribers and suppliers.
