I'm Swiss. US pro-gun people (ab)use our liberal gun rights to proof their point.

But there are huge differences:

1. Concealed and unconcealed carrying is not allowed. You have to transport your weapon in a very specific way, without ammo etc. Also anyone with a gun in public would trigger a police intervention within minutes.

2. Active military personnel are allowed to stored their gun at home, but almost nobody does that. Those who do get 5 bullets, in a sealed box. They're not allowed to open it, except in war. The seal gets checked every time you go back for service.

3. Storage of legal weapons at home is very strictly regulated. Loaded guns are basically forbidden, ammunition has to be stored separately etc.

4. If you don't have a very clean history, it's almost impossible to get the right to buy guns.

5. Automatic weapons are illegal.

PS: Those "facts" are from my memory, as I don't live in Switzerland anymore. Fellow Swiss users, if there's anything wrong please correct me.
Random info - a factoid originally meant "a piece of information that becomes accepted as a fact even though it is not actually true", when it was coined a few decades ago.

Of course, like "Literally" & "Decimated", the accepting meaning has drifted since then...

I would go even further than this, and say that a cryptocurrency might be among the best ways to build a universal login system. Imagine an Ethereum-like coin where the wallet is the username, and you spend the coins while authenticating, gaining privileges, and the blockchain stores your public info like a username and avatar that you can bring to any website.

That's a different issue entirely from ground water though. The droughts mentioned are surface water, not ground water. The lower water usage does affect ground water levels but not surface water, because we're not pumping up surface water. That's not a specifically German issue, many regions that have less industry now than they had 60 years ago are dealing with the same problem.

The surface water strongly affects farms and forests, but we won't change that by using less ground water (unless the hope is to have the ground water climb to -1m everywhere, at which point we're living in a bog). Additionally, rising ground water might have nasty side effects for plants, as salt in the earth will also be transported up.

Surface water retention is about management, not about offsetting that with savings. We do get plenty of surface water, but much of it will be "wasted" because it'll cause floods. Aggressive diking and straightening of rivers does play a part there, and we'll be wise to adapt to changing weather patterns and climate.
How poetic. My fiancée has chronic neutrophilic leukemia, or is suspected to have I should say. As there’s no testing or treatment, you can only see the symptoms and body’s reaction to the illness and conclude.

We see a specialist every 6 months for the rest of her life to monitor her blood and ensure it doesn’t progress. For the rest of her life.

Here’s to hoping I go out in a blaze of glory as opposed to cancer, caused by this virus, that was given to me by my cheating ex.
In the versions of the gradual descent I have implemented, the "get_variation" function will have a "step" argument, and there will be some function which decreases step as iteration_count grows. Tuning of the "step" function is the hardest thing in the gradual descent implementation.

So I don't see how "there is a single parameter".

I admit it is only a speculation, but I made a link between the phytoestrogens and some health problem I had.

I had a scare with a autoimmune problem, but luckily it was benign. However I learnt that estrogens weaken the mechanism by which the body learns to avoid fighting itself, and that it was explaining why women had a lot more of some kinds of autoimmune diseases than men. And the missing puzzle piece was when I understood that my autoimmune problem started a few years after I discovered Japanese food culture, and as I had always been in fond of soy drinks, soy creams, tofu, etc, when I was in Japan I was drinking/eating/dreaming soy every meal of every day (this for a few years).

Are you sure about they are lowering estrogens level?

To draw you the picture, I was drinking tonyu (soy drink) all the time so there always was some in my stomach (except when I was sleeping). Maybe the mechanism by which phytoestrogens lower blood level estrogens works only when you give it time to overcompensate after your last intake.

I'm a big fan of the Swiss political system.

I don't bother bruising anyone else's egos by suggesting how it could complement or totally solve their jurisdiction's problem, I understand that it is a smaller geographic area 1/3rd the size of Pennsylvania with a population of 8 million.

My observation is that they are a multicultural society and their political concept can work across a much larger region, but my conclusion is that its right for me!
It's not about making a pretty similar copy in terms of weight and balance. OP is asking about a weapon so superior it was viewed as magical.

Let's think about this in terms of the standard engineering design-V: if you have nobody available for validating the design, how could you produce a product that you know to be so technologically superior that it appears to be "magic"?
In the beginning, chemo can actually give you a couple days per week of normality before it knocks you on your ass. I remember chemo saturday, sleep sunday, mon/tue/wed were pretty good, thur/friday decline, chemo again saturday. It's not an all or nothing proposition. It can give you an extra few months of normality, even if you end up dying at the same time.

> Cloudflare's core business is networking. It actually embarrasses me to see that Cloudflare YOLO'd a BGP change in a Juniper terminal without peer reviews and/or without a proper administration dashboard, exposing safe(guarded) operations, a simulation engine and co.? In particular, re-routing traffic / bypassing POPs must be a frequent task at scale, how can that not be automated so to avoid human mistakes?

We don't know if this was entirely the case, based on the timeline for the initial incident that prompted the change gone awry, there very well could have been an ITIL-Style CR created and processed within this time.

Judging by the edits made, this wasn't just simply taking a POP out of service entirely, but reducing the amount of (or eliminating all of the) traffic from neighboring POPs sent to compute at the ATL location. I can't image that this exact type of change is all that common. BGP anycast actually makes things significantly more complicated when removing edges.

As far as the mechanics go, with junos's CLI, there's not a lot of difference between what the intended command would have been, and the one that actually happened.

Initially, this seems like quite a bit of difference, however, Junos has a hyperactive autocomplete that triggers on spaces,. that deactivate could have been as short as "dea ter 6 fr p 6"

I'm not aware of any routing simulation product that is able to simulate complex bgp interactions, and report on effective routes of simulated traffic, as well as CPU load predictions. The closest I am aware of is running GNS3 (or a bunch of VM routers) overnight and capturing SNMP.

On the other hand, automating these kinds of changes would seem trivial, but such a service would have to be as fault tolerant as any other project, but is most certainly a worthwhile endeavor especially since integration is actually relatively easy, Junos provides some nice REST and XML APIs on the management interface that can do pretty much everything the CLI can, except start a shell.
IMHO, what you propose and cargo pants have only in common that they're pants with pockets, nothing else. So the last paragraph is warranted, even if it seems that some here feel personally attacked by it... The whole point is how the pockets are integrated into the pants, and that's completely different solution than cargo pants.

Anyway, seems neat! I had some work shorts on a summer job years ago, funnily they were mostly like cargo pants, but they had an additional pocked very similar to your proposed one. It could be used for a folding meter stick (or whatever it's called in English) and that pocket alone made the shorts perfect. It allowed easy storage and access to a frequently used tool which was almost unwieldy long.

You are spot on. Swiss males having gone through military training at the age of 18, are used to guns. Though they keep their weapons in the basement or under their beds they do not treat it like a toy. When soldiers go for their training it is common to see a bunch of fairly young men boarding trains with heavy backpacks and a gun. A certain amount of respect for guns is drilled into them: you do not use a weapon carelessly.

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with naturopathic solutions, but people seem to lose the ability to reason about probability after the fact.

This is not to make light of the situation, but more to say "don't beat yourself up" about a bad thing that happened.

>meanwhile tick bites can be prevented

I'm careful but I (normally) do a fair bit of hiking and live on a large property surrounded by fields. I am careful but I still find ticks on myself every now and then and am bitten from time to time.

One can certainly be careful about reducing virus contact at the cost of considerable inconvenience. But there's a lot of evidence that new outbreaks are still flaring up in many places and that many locales end up going through a rough patch sooner or later. So I'm not sure it's fair to say that if everyone just took some basic precautions and otherwise carried on as usual, we'd be just fine even without a (potentially somewhat risky) vaccine.
Excuse me. You're right, I've been over-broad.

Purposely adopting cargo pants requires a rejection of the primacy of common, mainstream aesthetic culture in clothing decision-making for any of a variety of reasons. Examples include, but are in no way limited to, functional reasons and personal aesthetics.

Thank you for this opportunity to clarify my thoughts.
New York City has similar regulations about legal gun ownership and storage and transportation.

Hey Ben, yes I'm down to chat (email in bio).

TLDR: Our company's target audience is small brands that market primarily on Insta & Tik tok w/out websites yet - in India. So far, it's been a very manual process to build a list of them. After every conversation we have, we ask them for referrals (interestingly, Insta-based small business owners seem to be well connected in India). There are also event organizers that have insta profiles where they showcase brands that present at their events.

Happy to chat in greater detail, & all the best!
"My conclusion has always been that the gun violence problems in US is largely a culture problem."

I would strongly argue against this. Swiss gun law is very different from US, please read my five points above. Do you think US gun violence would decrease if they adopted those points? In my opinion yes.

In my opinion the conservatives, nationalists and the National Rifle Association fight against any tighter regulations that would probably save thousands of lives.
Yes, but if all your fancy names are simply cnames, you can use normal zone transfers to copy between servers, and use servers from multiple providers. Most recursive resolvers will retry requests against multiple delegated name servers until they get one that responds (or they all fail to respond). It adds some delay, so you wouldn't want the servers to be down often, but it's tolerable.

There must be something more to Swiss efficiency than referenda. The article puts the case of the Jurassic question, which most of the Bernese government opposed but was ultimately gone to a referendum. In many other countries there would be nothing preventing the executive from just ignoring this question and never putting it to a referendum, even if that's the law.

In a way, lack of corruption and high level political participation are what makes the referenda work, not the other way around.
It's not fair to say it cost him his life when his survival chance was 50% to begin with and the first chemotherapy failed to cure him. Nobody can say whether the outcome would have been better with a second chemotherapy or perhaps with no treatment at all.
Managing shell tooling to edit ps1 for this is a bad idea, because there are already many other much longer established mutations people use that for (like git branch or activated Python environment), kubernetes can’t come along decades later and suggest to use the tool effectively one has to break those long standing workflows.

It’s always an available option for people who want it, but many many use cases are poorly served by it.

The RBAC thing is different. I am 100% for those RBAC limitation as long as I have total authority to make a devops admin do what I need them to do right when I need them to do it.

If my team is going to get alerted on build failures or service errors that require kubernetes mutation actions or exec to debug or resolve (99% of the time they do), then my team needs full admin access.

If rbac prevents access, then you better route the alerts to someone else or give us authority to compel instant triage responses.

In the 3 different companies I’ve worked in that use large kubernetes clusters, rbac has been a miserable problem across the board, because SREs don’t want to be responsible for triaging or resolving application team issues, and application teams will not honor alerts that are not actionable because of poorly conceived permissions issues where people mistakenly think they are setting useful access control policy but really they aren’t.
It's a fun project, and kudos for shipping something at all!

My honest feedback:

There are already a host of services that do authentication, and a host of services that do payment and subscription management, and the leaders in each of those spaces are actually quite good. Loginland currently sits in the middle - it's not the best authentication system, nor is it the best payment system. It's just a little bit of both.

So, how do you combine the individual value of those services into something that is distinctly valuable? An interesting example in this space is fast.co. I have no idea if they will ultimately be successful or not. However, they verticalized specifically to e-commerce and combined login + checkout to a single step that is significantly easier/faster for the customer than a conventional checkout process. The pitch to the seller is: higher conversion rate, meaning more revenue (and we can potentially reduce fraud in the process). Among other things, they do this by opting for a fixed-time instant cancellation window after the order, rather than putting up a confirmation page beforehand. They use the strength of the identity system to streamline the checkout process, which is a unique merging of those two things that provides real value. There's also not much downside, as the traditional e-commerce customer doesn't associate much value with customer identities in the same way that a SaaS platform might. As it currently sits, I don't see that value unlock for loginland, so it feels like a mushy middle position.

Another direction here is thinking through how media is monetized. Right now, most major news publication (NYTimes, Washington Post, BBC, etc) have login and identity management mostly for managing subscriptions to news content (the identity itself isn't a ton of value to these companies). I believe there is probably a business that can be built around offloading identity and payment for these companies (customer has a relationship with loginland, loginland can get me into Washington Post content in a single click). Helping news companies shift more of their revenue from ads-based to consumption based or recurring would be huge. This business may already exists in several forms (I personally know a founder that started one which ultimately did not work out), but is another example of a vertical play.

In short, as you navigate next steps for this product, I'd advise you to keep an eye on where your customers will really get value from you. Streamlining identity management or checkout might not have as much of a conversion lift for SaaS as it would for other industries where purchase intent is lower. Look first for those, and see how you can best help them. Don't get discouraged by the comments here, though. Often times tiny tweaks make all the difference between success and failure.
One correction

2. Most active military personnel store their guns at home. The sealed ammunition box doesn't exists anymore so most don't posses bullets at home. Nonetheless, it is not that hard to buy ammunition.

> The problem is that pretty much nothing these politicians do is actually illegal and thus doesn't constitute a crime in the first place.

That is an assumption on your part. In the absence of thorough investigations that would condemn or exonerate them, it is difficult to say. Of course, it would be very twisted to say that the lack of investigations is proof of real corruption. Still, it should also not be taken as prrof of no corruption.
I think we have been focused too much on computational models (which is what mathematics essentially is) while the solution to quantum gravity may lie in a new conceptual framework. Most of the books on quantum mechanics and ones on general relativity jump, way too quickly, to what essentially comes down to merely describing the mathematical tools, which enforces the "shut up and calculate" mindset. This is indeed valuable from the practical standpoint, because most physics courses are intended for future engineers and specialists in applied science. But being presented with Schrödinger's equation, its consequences, and methods of solving it on the one hand, and Einstein's field equation on the other, does nothing in the way of raising one's conceptual awareness of the real "meaning of it all" and the unity of Nature.
