Solid post though there are a couple of things I would disagree with:

> Do not upgrade your system packages

Most distros will have smooth upgrades and provide you with patched libs that your app may need and the latest image may not provide. It's slightly more prone to breaks but it creates a less vulnerable runtime app env.

> Do not use ‘latest’ tag for base image

Depends on the org but sometimes pinning means that you will likely end up using and end-of-life image because it requires proactive work to maintain. If you leave it as 'latest' this won't happen but you will get out-of-band breaks to keep that working. Choose wisely.

A few things I would add too:

- Don't mount Docker socket into any container unless absolutely necessary

- Your biggest security threat will be from your app's dependencies, not the container's setup

- Do not run a full init system unless absolutely necessary as this is just a security disaster waiting to happen. There are valid use cases for it but they're rare.
"Laisser la place aux jeunes" is a common french term to say one should make space for young people coming up. What is the anglophone equivalent? "Capture the rising elite" doesn't quite have the same connotations.

> You're confusing a few things. Because SF (until recently) has disproportionately been a sellers market, leases are written such that they benefit the landlord.

Right, which is why it makes sense that landlords would allow tenants to break leases for a fee. The landlord gets two/three months of rent from the current tenant, plus they have a waiting list of people and will have the unit moved into within a few days paying higher rent.

So the benefits to the landlord is more money. They get to legally double-charge for rent and raise rent prices on an accelerated schedule at the cost of one or two days of lost occupancy.

The only time this doesn't benefit the landlords is when rent prices collapse. But considering SF rent prices have been inflating at a double digit annual clip for a decade or more now, I doubt any landlord considered a drop in rent prices to be possible.

My point was you need to design stuff for the use case and a healthy margin. Incandescent lightbulbs are perhaps the poster child for solid state devices which with a limited lifespan. You can design lightbulbs for a 100 year lifespan at the cost of efficiency and bulb brightness. Even then an incandescent bulbs lifespan is dramatically shorter if your power cycling it every 2 minutes. But eventually stuff like electromigration for example will be an issue for solid state devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromigration

When designing wireless charging the same efficiency vs lifespan tradeoffs exist. Sure, they might be fine, but don’t expect them to last 20 years or anything. Further, the mats are significantly more expensive than a cable.

PS: Connector specifications are generally a dumpster fire because nobody wants to be forced to build expensive cables. And even if the spec says X, if Y is cheaper and still mostly works then you can bet people will do Y. Failure tends take a while at which point people buy a new cable vs returning the old one etc.

You can't prove that would-be terrorists weren't dissuaded by the knowledge that PRISM existed.

What is the point of terrorizing a country that is already terrorizing its own citizens through unwarranted prying mass surveillance?
The problem is that currently their content is a mix of their own shows and a lot of successful and complete shows made by other networks. As they move to having more of their catalog be their own shows which stay around forever it increases the ratio of cancelled shows to complete shows which if not carefully managed I feel will damage their brand over time.
Like others have pointed out, "socialist democracy" is a thing, and folks trying to pass these sorts of policies are outed as socialists in the US. Like everything else, socialism has a range of ways to see itself through.

There are so many little things you just couldn't do in the US. For example, the largest dairy coop - Tine - has to distribute goods from smaller dairies. I buy my wine and liquor at a state run store, which is nicer than any liquor store I knew in the US.

Health care is so much more efficient and you get things you can't have in the US: For example, they send a nurse to your house up to 6 times a day before you qualify for a nursing home. The nurse is free: The nursing home is a percentage of your pension (and everyone gets one). A bonus is that folks live longer than they did going to a nursing home sooner.

The state inspects chimneys to cut down on fires. Schooling doesn't really depend on the taxes in your local area, though is run more locally (as is some of the health care), and the libraries are nation-wide and can get books from other places.

Comparatively, socialist.
Yes, some of these are very obviously intentional. But California just now getting on the mail in ballots train does put them far behind. Some 20+ years behind. That’s pretty far if you ask me. (Yes I know they’ve had absentee, I used to vote that way).
It's been nearly 250 years.
If I remember correctly, Groups.io was started (~2010s?) by the founder of Onelist (~mid 1990s) which merged with eGroups (~2000) and was subsequently purchased by Yahoo and became Yahoo Groups.

It just goes to show that Yahoo could have innovated to improve the product but was unable to. The original founder understood the needs and how things have changed (or not) over the past 25 years.

All of those methods for balancing the "madness of crowds" (which is a strange euphemism for abolitionism) have been written out of the constitution. Senators are elected by popular vote now. Almost all the day-to-day legislative actions of both houses require merely a simple majority.

The Federalist Papers are centuries out of date. They do not comprehend how modern politics functions. Hamilton could not imagine a multinational corporation with an unlimited purse and fewer limits on their free speech than an ordinary citizen.
How do you square this with Noam Chomsky’s idea that it’s not freedom of speech if you don’t let others disagree?

our corp VPN is for accessing internal sensitive documents. I'm sure there is some level of monitoring, but it isn't the first priority. I work for a large US Corp so we have lots of design, specs, reviews and other paperwork to access.

That's a good point. While we don't know the details, it's entirely possible that it didn't stop any terrorist attacks because the intel gathered allowed the USA to remove the conditions that would have allowed an attack to be planned in the first place. Ideally, that's how it would happen, just like it's better for an organizations IT department to proactively prevent networking problems than trying to mitigate issues that have already surfaced.
mandatory voting doesn't sound very good to me for a few reasons. winning with 30% of eligible votes is functionally equivalent to winning with 51% (ie, you still get the office), but looks a lot different. forcing people to pick one seems like a way to make the strongest of several weak candidates appear more legitimate. as misguided as it may be, I think individuals ought to have the option to signal their dissatisfaction (or apathy) with all the viable candidates by abstaining entirely.

one final thought: someone who cares so little about voting that they would only do it under compulsion seems like someone I would probably prefer not to vote. this is assuming, of course, that the reason they don't want to vote is not because of procedural obstacles. if you don't know anything about the candidates other than their names, your vote probably does not contribute much to the democratic process.
Are the officials administering the queue part of the conspiracy to create a long line to make a political statement (or more skeptically, are virtue signaling) as well?
I've voted in the centre of cities and in rural areas in Scotland for ~35 years and I've literally never had to queue - I usually vote in the early evening as well which I would have thought was a fairly popular time.
But the message specifically says MS will only trust applications signed by a Digitcert certificate. The problem isn't that they're doing the check, it's that the check is poor. There's no reason it needs to prevent people from installing software that has been signed.
Don't worry, you will get bored with your Oculus Quest after a month anyways. Me and my kids were using our Oculus a lot at the beginning, having great fun. Now it just sits there, although we could use it any time and even have a few great games on it.

Anyways, this has nothing to do with your issue. Facebook should be ashamed for treating paying customers like this.
No, that requires a PC. There isn't much in the all-in-one space other than the Quest.
Eternal September may have come long before that. I was at Carnegie Mellon from 86-90 as a student and until 93 as an employee. It was a very big deal to Usenet when they turned on Usenet access for anyone at CMU with an andrew.cmu.edu account (a few thousand people) I think around 87. There just weren't that many people on Usenet back then, so this was a big percentage increase. Also every year (well before 93) there would be new freshmen at plenty of campuses who would get on Usenet for the first time. So you had a bunch of crunchy old neck beards who lived on Usenet, and then some clueless 17 year old kids who likely hadn't even been on a BBS prior to Usenet. The culture clash and noise was challenging.

You have to remember this was before the web. There were ways to have FTP sites or other more permanent locations to share FAQs if you knew where to look, but for the most part someone new would show up on a newsgroup and start asking the same newbie questions all over again, or hit some hot-button issue for that group and re-start an epic flame war. So each September or so would be an influx of people who didn't understand or know the culture and it was uncomfortable for all the people who had been in the club prior to that year's new kids.
NTFS direct read allows for elevation of privilege (CVE-2020-16938)
I live in a city/town in Georgia USA with a population of about 25k. I have never waited more than 10 minutes to vote. This type of thing (long lines in Atlanta) was in the news last year during our very close gubernatorial election and I don't think it's far fetched to say that it decided the election.

As I recall, the main reason in the news was that there were so few voting machines available in Atlanta. My observation as I walked in to vote instantly (on Election day mind, not early voting) was that we had 3 voting machines at my polling place.

It seems a pretty simple thing to me that if I can vote in 10 minutes or less and people are waiting for hours and hours in Atlanta (taking time off from work, giving up their whole day?), then it seems fair to me that my polling place can do with 1 voting machine and they can take the other 2 to Atlanta. And of course I'm assuming that this strange distribution of voting machines exists in many other polling places as well. If it didn't fix the problem, then it could at least make it a little bit less bad.
The Good Place wasn't cancelled to my knowledge, but it wasn't a Netflix produced show anyway, so I'm not sure it's relevant.
Counter point: British television shows are too short!

My two all time favorite TV shows are Fawlty Towers and The Young Ones. Each consist of two 6 episode seasons. I really wish there were more. (though honestly, they did exactly what they set out to do, mic dropped, and the rest is history)

How do you convince doctors to use your software? I see the benefit for patients but what’s in it for doctors? If they give crappy care they still get paid.
In the traditional relationship, the student is begging the teacher. In general, the person making an argument is begging you to accept their point instead of arguing it. The question is the point of contention.

If we are arguing about Windows or Linux and I say that Linux is better designed because it has a clearly superior architecture, I'm begging the question because I'm just asking you to accept it instead of supporting my argument.

Also, I wonder if the misunderstanding of the term has prompted many people to start looking into formal logic. In our linked world, I could imagine people looking something like that up after they hear it's misused and finding information about a lot of related issues around logic.
Project Veritas is a famously unreliable source.
In a word - Too much Data, not enough analysts to wade through it. The amount of ingested data from various fire-hose feeds was (is?) staggering.

The Signal to Noise ratio makes it practically impossible for any nation state to properly go through each and every 'flagged for human analysis' entry. Metadata analysis (who was in contact with who and when) are more than sufficient for prosecution and hoovering up the loose ends (after the fact). Parallel construction neatly masks some of the more interesting stuff.

I am Pro Privacy but still keep in touch with those that deal with this sort of stuff and the latest fad is "ML/AI will solve it for us". Good luck with that because - What do you use as a training data set?
> You could instead make intentional decisions to fund miniseries and content with clearly defined "endings".

Netflix funds plenty of original miniseries, movies, comedy specials, and other close-ended content. But the high-risk, high-reward, could-be-tentpole series get an understandably-large share of media attention.

Your experience is the norm for almost all Americans as well, on election day (or with normal levels of demand for early voting). Unfortunately, it's not the norm for everyone, but the lines described in this article are caused by an enormous increase in demand for early voting, not the other more serious issues you're attributing them to.

Basically, people voting now are choosing to stand in these long lines to vote.
Correct. These are invariably in states where republicans can influence voting procedures.
> That has mostly to do with the Democrats being overly populistic about all the concerns, without offering any solutions

> It just took people like AOC to push me all the way over into the realm of, well, not falling victim to populist rhetoric that is based in the realm of fantasy.

> By that I mean, of course, her ridiculous Green New Deal plan

Pick a lane, my friend. There's a big difference between "don't offer any solutions" and "I don't like their solutions." What specifically don't you like about the Green New Deal? What about one of the hundreds of bills that passed in the House but have not been allowed to come to the floor of the Senate?

Trump's GOP is worse than not offering any solutions. They are invested in pretending that racism, a shrinking middle class, and climate change do not exist.

I'm puzzled by this part:

> Runtime compilers, such as numba have to reconstitute the Python source, or attempt to analyze the bytecode. It would be simpler and more reliable for them to get the AST directly:

from! my.jit.library import jit

jit!
def func():
...

If you write this as

@jit
def func():
...

then the jit decorator can ask for the function's AST easily via the standard AST library.
This is pretty great! Like the original minesweeper, it's easy to get into a spot where you have a 50/50 chance, and some shapes are more likely to have more of those than others, but a lot of games have that element of luck.

Very good job!

> Why should there be long lines?

Because many people don't stop to think that they have a full three weeks to vote, so they all pile in on the first day as if it were election day (note that the article also talks about yesterday as if it were election day and all these people in the lines would have no chance to vote if they didn't stand there for hours instead of just coming back another day); but early voting polling places, because they are spreading the voting out over weeks instead of all in one day, aren't set up to handle a huge pile of people all showing up at once.
I also love Acorn on the Mac. It’s not as advanced as Photoshop, but I can do my layers, “curves”, selections, masks, etc. And I find the UI easier to manage than GIMP. I think it’s about $30 and you have to pay for major upgrades. I’ve paid twice I think in maybe 5 or 10 years.

Just a little local perspective on the lines in Georgia. The waits that some folks had to endure in the primaries were a huge problem. Georgia absolutely has history of voter suppression like many post-confederate states, and some seriously shady stuff has gone down in the past.

However, the really long lines yesterday were more attributable to incredible turnout on the first day of early voting, which also happened to be a federal holiday so many people had the spare time to come out and vote. There are new voting systems, new volunteers for whom that was their first day running the polls, and a very motivated electorate.

For comparison, today, two days later, I know of at least two people who were in and out in 15 minutes in some of the same areas that had incredible lines on Monday.

There are legit voter suppression stories of great concern in GA, but I don't think the lines of Oct 12 qualify. I'm totally open to being corrected on this opinion though.
Fair enough, I understand what you mean now. By namedropping Paxos and Raft you were leading me onto something quite different.
It's not messed up, and the Framers agreed, hence why every state is allowed to determine how to run its elections. The argument of federal power at that scale was lost long ago. If one doesn't like the way one's state exercises its power, one can move to another state. This is a feature, not a bug.
This is a result of bad faith astroturfing by conservatives. I'm not really sure the objective other than to have something to say when someone points out the glaringly obvious flaws about the electoral college system. It's not an argument against the electoral college system at all...
I recall it changing when Star Trek: Voyager was on the air -- at least for Voyager.

Looking at Amazon Prime, seems the episode length changed from 46 minutes to 44 minutes going from Season 5 (1999) to Season 6 (2000).

(What I was remembering was 47 to 45, but this is a vague memory of a Usenet post I read twenty years ago.)

EDIT: Also, I should note that Voyager was on Fox. If you're talking about NBC specifically, I have no data.
Lets for a second imagine you're right, that a long lived human could take some drugs that returns them to a childlike state, sort of a Doctor Who-esque regeneration to readapt to a new world, a new teenage years. How many would take it? And would they really be any different? Is there a maximum to that?

Sure. Next problems. Are we going to fix the broken feedback loop of capitalism, where over time the rich keep getting richer? Are we just going to recreate the Meths from Altered Carbon? Those who can use their money to live forever, accumulating more and more wealth entirely voluntarily until they are as gods over the rest of humanity? To solve one problem is to spawn so many more dragons than aging ever was.

It's a feature, not a bug. I'm sure that Netflix has the analytics to back up this decision. Just as we reap what we sow when it comes to social network gamification and profiteering and elections, we are seeing the results of content creation, subscription based pricing, and detailed analytics. Netflix does not endeavor to create great content. Netflix endeavors to create content to increase subscription and engagement rates.

I spend more time watching the first 5 mins of some "Netflix" original and then turning it off because, unsurprisingly it's no good, than I do watching really great films. Because Netflix is just throwing spaghetti at the wall and without content curation or selective and informative promotional material, I give these new titles the benefit of the doubt and watch them. Since I watch past the first 3 mins or whatever Netlix requires for it to be considered "watched" I'm considered "engaged" and those titles go on my "watched" list then influence the algorithm and on and on. Meanwhile a couple hours goes by, more content is created, and the cycle repeats. Netflix 1 - Me 0
