I would have the law along the lines that Hardware should not be limited or curtailed in usage via any optional on-line related identification.

That way for things that may well suit having linked account - fine, but not curtailing that avenue. Basicly making having it linked to an on line account - optional via consumer choice, as it should always be.

I could see a small company needing a quick and cheap way to make a portal. These are things wordpress should perhaps focus more on and move away from the blog being central, but still make it available.
>there's no way of telling how much and individual program actually brings in

Sure there is. I used money as a metric, but Netflix, being a subscription business, will have it's own internal metric that correlates cost, popularity, and maybe other stuff to come up with some sort of a score that they can then compare to other shows - to figure out which ones should be renewed and which ones should not be.
100% is unachievable, especially at Google scale. Your car or coffee shop or whatever also fails 0.0x% of the time. Heck the energy net in western countries doesn't reach 99.999% uptime and I would call it very dependable.

I'd say the biggest problem it the non-existent support. It's fine if 0.01% fails, as long as there is human troubleshooting or help available if necessary.
Oculus is a niche product, it will be forgotten in a few years just like 3D TVs. Facebook knows it and it would not spend a dime on good customer service, they will just implement something good enough.
Your data line still has a phone number. I know on T-Mobile they only block sending SMS on data lines, it can still receive. Maybe your service works like that.
713,000 voters for 301 locations. Assuming 356k vote on election day, and voting takes place over 12 hours. That's still about 100 per hour and location.
And that's ignoring that most will likely vote on their way from/to work (spices in demand), and that polling locations are most likely not perfectly distributed according to the population distribution.

Germany has 73,000 locations for 61,690,000 voters. Germany has roughly 4x the number of locations per voter.

Superconductivity is phenomenologically different than "very low resistance." The excitement about high-temperature superconductors is not only that there will be less power dissipated through power lines, but they will enable new technologies in power generation, high-energy physics research, analog and digital circuitry, sensors, and communications.
Maybe this is a game of poker. They cancel some shows as a bluff to next generation of creators that they should avoid asking for large raises for their shows past 2nd season.
Sure, and for some people the part that wears out first is the third SoC capacitor.

In agreggate though, the lightning port isn't the first thing that will break, and if it breaks you can use wireless charging. Whereas if you only use wireless charging there is less redundancy and the part that actually wears out the fastest, the battery, will degrade faster due to the heat.
You may be more familiar with the term "Rank-Choice Voting". Outside of the US, that system (ranking the candidates in order of your preference, with runoff or similar allocation methods in the case that nobody gets a majority) is called preferential voting. Being able to vote for any candidate on the ballot paper is a consequence of having a secret ballot system (nobody knows who you voted for), not preferential voting.
Except that one day you suddenly have employers that require you to personally own this hardware, or government portals, and then what?

This is how C/C++ services are done in production, too. You have a build step that does `apk add --update alpine-sdk git cmake` etc., builds the service, and then you start again fresh with a FROM (new stage) and `COPY --from` over the build artifacts.

Reading this thread I'm surprised this isn't common knowledge by now given how it's so incredibly paramount to efficient production releases.
> Because terrorist attacks that were prevented didn't happen, there is no way to know. We could only speculate by correlating terrorist attacks and surveillance, but there are so many external variables that it is effectively impossible to prove causation.

This is nonsense, foiled attacks make the news. The FBI foiled a terrorist attack against the governor of Michigan a few days ago and that certainly made the news.
Thank you for your note - so real! Your work looks really important. Interestingly with self-ensured employers you may want to try their HR/benefits departments rather than anything healthcare related.

I know it's not really the point, but it's curious that the first thing in the document is a notice saying not to use the Z80 in life-support systems or in systems intended to be implanted into the body, without written approval from high up in Zilog.

I understand wanting to prohibit irresponsible use of your system, especially if it hasn't been built to critical-systems standards, but why single out life-support systems and implants? Would it be meaningfully different if it were used in avionics, or industrial safety systems?

The dmc compiler does something similar to this, but more generally, without singling out life-support and implanted systems: Do not use this software for life critical applications. [0]

The point Carlin was trying to make is that the human experience is removed from a term such as "post-traumatic stress disorder". Yes, it might be more medically accurate, but fighting for the rights of people who experienced "shell shock" might have been more impactful. When your experienced is buried underneath medical terms, you bury the humanity of it.

I don't have time to track down a link to a video at the moment, but it was at Infiltrate, an offensive-minded cybersecurity conference out of Miami.
He calls out BASIC specifically because it was ubiquitous and often the only option on the machines novices would have available at the time. It logically follows that most programmers of that era, capable or otherwise, started on BASIC. Since he’s not here to tell us, I can only assume Dijkstra met the occasional exceptional individual who began learning to program in a more mathematically rigorous language during that time and was left with a vastly more favorable impression.

Remember, Dijkstra was a professor and he was an expert on teaching programming. He would have far more experience with the effect he claims than I do. I hazard to guess that is true with respect to you too.

And yes he’s obviously engaging in rhetorical hyperbole in the text you quote.
I didn't suggest that, I just said that everything wears out.
PRISM is part of the authoritarian slide, a symptom not the cause.
I don’t think your comment has any kind of negative intent, but I feel like the idea that grouping any consequence of civilian experience with those of military combat certainly cannot be a reasonable association.

I don’t think Carlin’s point was so much to comment on the accuracy of the description, but rather to say that these descriptions have become longer and longer as time has advanced and thereby lessons the guttural impact they “used” to command.

Do you think that’s fair?
Docker uses iptables for port forwarding, and those rules typically end up ahead of the rules inserted by your firewall (firewalld/ufw/manual scripts/whatever).

It's not so much that they explicitly open a firewall rule, as that they take a networking path that isn't really covered by traditional firewalls.

Another way of viewing it is that Docker "is" your firewall for your container workloads, and that adding a port-forward is equivalent to adding a firewall rule. Of course, that doesn't change that public-by-default is a bad default.
I think this idea has a lot of potential, does Osmind incorporate sleep data?
That's not what happens when you refuse to unlock your phone/laptop. You may get detained indefinitely.
100% agreed here. If a show only has 2-4 seasons, that's a selling point for me. Usually, around season 5, you can see the quality seriously drop as the writers have exhausted all their best ideas. Or else, new events must ever-escalate in intensity, and so the old seasons were sort of grounded and realistic, and the new seasons are zany adventures that don't fit at all.
Completely agree. He overwrote himself into a blind corner - wasted so much time describing the orbital mechanics of chains that my eyes rolled all the way up into the back of my head, completely spoiled any remote semblance of hard sci-fi he had going with the surprise Ur-Middle Earth origin story, and finally never justified all the self-indulgence with even a single word about the agent.
Thanks for this! "Not the norm" is a bit of an over-interpretation though. That data shows that in many states such lines were indeed the norm until very recent reforms (as in, there is only one post-reform data point to go on). And that the reforms didn't help non-white voters to the same extent that they did white voters.
It seems like unfortunate timing - Facebook's cracking down on fake accounts before the election right as the Quest 2 launches. I'd guess that a lot of the people signing up for Facebook just for the Quest don't follow the same patterns as a typical user, so the algorithm flags them and removes them. I'm sure they'll get reinstated once Facebook manually reviews, but it's definitely a major annoyance.

Sidenote, I got my quest 2 yesterday and from a hardware standpoint, it's blown me away coming from PSVR. Too bad the Facebook nonsense keeps it from being a must have product.

Wow, my second CPU assembly language ever (after 6502). Amazing it's still relevant to anything. I also wrote code for a Z8000[0] in the 80's which is quite different.
I suspect, none of them. If he did approve of one, it would probably be Haskell.

And, for all his complaining, I don't know of any language that he authored. He's sure good at telling everyone that they're doing it wrong, though...
Thank you! Yes, we are planning on using wearables data as well. For example, many of our clinicians want to know how people are sleeping or if they are leaving the house, which both can be highly correlated with mental health conditions.
I don't buy it. Like I said, the US has systemically disenfranchised voters from inception through the present. One of our two major political parties is explicitly invested in continuing that practice, and the other is only nominally opposed.

This is not a recent invention, and it's not due to the media. It's built right into the foundation of our country.
They do. They've had digital photo frames for years now. I just don't think anyone bought it.
> Agreed. But when copying files to docker and building the image, you will have to take care that files are not written with root ownership in any stage of the build, which would make them inaccessible to the application running as non root.

That's not the case, either. And root inside the container != root outside the container. A completely new user:group namespace is created inside the container. This is, in very large part, what Linux namespaces are for.

Further, you can certainly have a root-owned file accessible to non-root users, via chmod bits.

There are only a handful of excuses, ever, to run a privileged container. If you're not 100% sure, then it is not one of those excuses.

> the republican party directly benefits the less people vote

True, and they benefit even more when they can actually target the voters of the other party.

“Abbott in July acted to lengthen the early voting period and allow voters to deliver completed absentee ballots in person for longer than the normal period. But after large Democratic counties including Harris and Travis established several sites where voters could deliver their ballots, Abbott ordered Oct. 1 that they would be limited to one… Harris County — home to 2.4 million registered voters and spanning a greater distance than the state of Rhode Island — had designated a dozen before Abbott’s order forced them to close most sites.” [0]

The only thing killing book selling is the publishers.

I was involved in the book industry until 2018. In June of that year, the publishers went on a suing spree and not only went after book sellers selling used books online, but Amazon, and school book stores on campus.

Amazon now has locked categories for specific books. To sell them at all, you need to have proof of purchase, directly from the publisher. Nobody will have this, so they are effectively banned, unless you are the publisher. Its also a way for the publishers to profit from the second-hand market (aside from requiring access codes that cost more than the book itself).

The same thing happened with DVD/movies. You now can't sell them at all on Amazon without proof of purchase from a licensed distributor.
I'm a believer that every particle and wave in the universe is being computed whether it's being observed or not. People who think QM is about 'consciousnesses' are generally not even deeply even conversant about QM, and have read some 'woo woo' books, and gotten confused.

Belief that consciousness is somehow more fundamental than 'brain physiology' is essentially a kind of solipsism and is completely unfounded in facts or experiments.

If we're in a sim, it's Physics rules that are being "run" and the existence of brains is purely emergent.

> I can obviously only talk for myself but can say with confidence that if I'm watching a series which is cancelled without a conclusion, the likelihood of every watching another one by that publisher is miniscule at best.

Every “publisher” in TV series does it. And most of them, including Netflix, also pick up things other houses have cancelled without a satisfying conclusion and extend them to provide one, or at least another chance at one.

The only substantive difference I see with Netflix is that they are taking far more shots at potential tentpole series than any other single outlet.

> Don't expect people to come back after getting burned once

I expect Netflix has a lot better behavioral data driving decisions than your “I can obviously only talk for myself” and then drawing conclusions from that to what is “definitely the worst business decision to do for Netflix” as if you were the whole market.

>If your son believes that he has ADHD

Thank you for your reply.

We actually did a full neuro psych evaluation when he was in 4th grade and that was eye opening. It let me "see" how his brain was working, and, for my wife, opened her realize that she probably has undiagnosed ADHD. My son and wife were constantly butting heads and the eval helped my wife understand and reason better, too.
Very nice to see. Wish I had some more time to flub with it.

Only critique is you need to allow for the brushes to be bigger. Specifically for the move tool as that is how I was taught to vreate primary forms before going in with any brushes.
It's also difficult because Friends is also a long-tail phenomenon. There were dozens of 90s sitcoms that failed to become generational hits.

Also, a counter-argument to my proposition above is that broadcast TV through the mid-90s had a captive audience in a way that Netflix doesn't. To a limited extent, broadcast TV could force audiences to become familiar with a show, pushing an originally-marginal show over a threshold of popularity.
Thank you for this!! We so appreciate that you are aligned with the approach.

One could do worse than using (more) stable distribution for their base images.

20.10 is not a LTS, so it's more likely to get semi-spurious updates than a LTS version like 20.04 or, say, debian stable.

For most of my non-alpine-based images, I use debian:buster-slim as base, as it's got a fairly stable base and gets quite routinely updated:

$ docker run --rm -it debian:buster-slim bash -c "apt update >dev/null 2>&1 && apt upgrade"

There's no way that I'm aware of to find the complete black/whitelists of each browser. The only way I've been able to figure it out before is to disable the blacklisting and see how performance in a WebGL app fairs.
One of the most common mistakes I see is not using a .dockerignore file or, better said, relying on .gitignore when calling `COPY` on entire directories. Without a .dockerignore file in place, you could be copying over your local .env files and other unwanted things into the final image.

On top of that, you might also want to add `.git/` to your .dockerignore file, as it could significantly reduce the size of your image when calling `COPY`.

A more subtle issue I've noticed is the fact that `COPY` operations don't honour the user set when calling `USER`. The `COPY` command has its own `--chown` argument, which needs to be set if you'd like to override the default user (which is root or a root-enabled user in most cases).

I wrote up a similar article a while back, though it's focused on general best practices: https://lipanski.com/posts/dockerfile-ruby-best-practices
In a sense, rejuvenation would be a watershed moment like the development of agriculture. People living in agricultural societies were plagued with problems like malnutrition from poor diet variety and exploitation by states and tax collectors compared to their hunter-gatherer counterparts. But despite these problems, the world still became dominated by agricultural states because they could out-compete hunter-gatherers with their larger numbers and armies, force them off their traditional pastures, and convert those pastures to farmland.

If rejuvenated humans with centuries of experience are able to out-compete their younger counterparts then all the problems with stagnation in an immortal society would be a moot point. You could imagine this happening if rejuvenation preserved the mental capabilities of a 20-something well past 100. That would be decades of time to build up skill in politics, business, and technology, and to compete in such a society might well end up requiring decades of education and experience. Birthing a new person into this society would be a massive multi-decade investment to bring them up to speed that might require the resources of not just two parents but perhaps an entire extended family, which would be justified considering that any new member of this society will be around for centuries. People will be complaining in news columns about the stodginess and stagnation of their society, but proposals to limit the use of rejuvenation or allow younger members of society more power would be as outlandish as allowing a middle-schooler to become president. You simply can't compete without having 60+ years of experience, just like how hunter-gathers simply couldn't compete against a much larger agricultural population.
