On the Green New Deal front, I want to point out that people debating it are largely talking past one another. The actual Green New Deal is HR 109 and SRes 59, the text of which is here: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/sites/ocasio-cortez.house.go... . It is a non-binding resolution, meaning it does not actually change any laws or implement any policies, it's simply a statement that the House would like something to happen. It's literally just a statement of intent that we should get to zero net emissions. You'll hear people tout numbers about it costing $100 trillion dollars or something ridiculous, but it's simply not possible to calculate the cost of a vague goal. You'll also hear people claiming things like that the Green New Deal will ban airplanes, but again this is a non-binding resolution, and it doesn't even describe anything as specific as solid policy proposals.

Don't get me wrong, we absolutely should debate the climate policy in the US. And we can refer to such policies as the "Green New Deal". But in debates people often act like the Green New Deal is a literal set of laws and policies written down.

By Bush & Crew you meant to say Joe Biden, right? Or, perhaps all those who enrich themselves by warmongering, despite party affiliation? If you were to parse the mass edits of JB & Patriot Acts wiki pages you would find that Joe's substantial contributions to the Patriot Act have been cleansed from said pages.

And yet the OCA page still exists. The scripted narrative of politicos can't completely whitewash all historical facts. Yet.

Obama announcing his VP gave me pause back in '08. I voted for them anyway. After they retained/appointed W.Gates & T Geitner, I realized "Change" != change, apparently.

We now have two shit choices, IMO, and truly struggle to determine which is the least evil option through all the noise. Perhaps if we knew before casting our ballot who will be in each admins' cabinets making policy decisions we could make an more informed vote.
This is right, I remember now - docker does mangle your iptables chains. I remember fighting with this a while back.

Terrible practice, in my opinion. Docker shouldn't be touching firewall stuff.
If federated nodes have to mutually verify each others' compliance, then every email server in the EU is breaking the law.

Presumably the reason email servers can operate legally is that the sender of each email is deemed to be the data controller or is otherwise giving explicit consent to their private data being sent to each recipient's mail provider.

Social networking is roughly equivalent to the sending of emails BCCed to everyone in your address book. In the case of something like Twitter-style microblogging, the GDPR is even less relevant since the user is deliberately trying to make information publicly available.
I like creating a security choke point, like a firewall in a vm serving as a nat gateway or actual cloud security groups and network acl.

This way you can make all your servers private and manage the firewall in a single access point to the outside world.

Making your servers public to the net by default and without a separate firewall solution is not so advisable in the first place.

Second this. The UBI images are meticulously maintained by Red Hat and are freely available and redistributable without a subscription. Some of the largest companies in the world are using these in production and putting dollars behind them, so you can be pretty confident that they will work and be maintained.
This is a reasonable choice to make depending on the complexity of your project.

For the projects I've been on, the latest version plus the test suite is enough to catch weirdness creeping in and, as a side benefit, it gets fixed faster than if it were pinned. Sometimes the issue really is caused by the base image and it is easier to get a fix merged if the issue was caused quite recently because the developers responsible see early reports of issues as more endemic than if they're reported days or weeks later.
This is likely correct. Here’s an article that explains their cost structure.

Netflix is not very good at seeing things that don't show up in the data. If it can't be A/B tested, they are fairly blind to it.

There is no good way to A/B test how cancellations affect signups. You can't release new seasons of a show to just some customers in a region. And if you only release new seasons in some regions, there is no way to know if the effect was because of local cultural reasons.

Until there is a large movement of people who make a lot of noise about not signing up for Netflix specifically because of their reputation for cancellation, this probably won't change.

And until then, ironically, this reputation will only make the problem worse. People will not watch a new show until they know it isn't cancelled, leading to even more cancellations because of low viewership.

I was specifically responding to the following claim that the Netherlands:

> ...had an early lead on the UK in terms of industrialization with our windmills, but then they figured out how to use coalpower and took over

The point, that I was unsuccessful in making clearly, was that the difference between Dutch windmills and English waterwheels was a wash (no pun intended) at the critical early part of the First Industrial Revolution. The first link you mention supports this view.

In my opinion, the ecosystem built around global industrialized cotton was the key factor driving England's Industrial Revolution, but I understand that many attribute the success to the coal powered steam engine.

It sometimes happens if you create account from a suspicious IP address, such as VPN or shared computer at school or cafe. They are trying to prevent account takeovers and fake accounts when some dormant users left weak passwords and got in a leak somewhere. But Facebook is also sometimes a bit too proactive in banning new accounts, because they use this as an opportunity to extract more information from you - you can only unban the account by providing phone number, scan of your ID card etc.. That suits them so they like banning more.
> and I think possibly decreases cache misses as well.

Unlikely, you'd still have misses because of stuff like file metadata mismatches (think modification times).
In a related note: I've seen a huge surge in good quality original products that were engineered in China, manufactured in China, and then sold by China. Take Rigol and Miniware for instance. They have the hobbyist electronic market captured and their gear is also used professionally. They have found the powerful combination of cheap and pretty good quality. They are full Chinese companies and I haven't seen anyone match them yet.

I'm trying to find and am not having luck, but I swear that Scotty from the youtube channel Strange Parts had an excellent interview with Rigol about this.
> those are implementation details of the library itself.

By this reasoning, though, any behavior is defined as long as we box it off into a library.

(By "defined" here, I mean "ISO C defined" not "declared to be working, and maintained in that order by a library vendor").

> If Boehm GC were written in assembly

Every instance of undefined behavior that doesn't prevent translation results in machine code. We can infer its behavior from the instruction manual, and write assembly source which produces the same code. Therefore, there is no such thing as undefined behavior.

Algol is quite different from Fortran.
>Maybe if you had 3-episode arcs as a pilot and more development time

Sure ... but OP was complaining about shows being cancelled mid-narrative. How does releasing 3 episode pilots fix that? Most likely those will not be complete works, but rather end on some sort cliff-hanger, to entice viewership to stay with the show.

>Though, as I wrote elsewhere, I don't want TV shows that go on for too long.

I agree with you. I found 3 to 5 seasons seems to be the sweet spot for most shows. Once it goes past 5 seasons for many shows, the quality seems to degrade, the writers run out of ideas and just do things to fill time. There is a remake of Anne of Green Gables (Anne with an E) - and holy geeze is that true for that one when it comes to time-filler. Whereas the original series was tight with great pacing, this new series invents and explores every pointless side-story. For example, in the original, there would be a reference to Matthew going somewhere, and in the remake, because the writers have so much time to fill, you'll get a deep dive into that trip, which ultimately has no impact on the larger narrative itself.
My pleasure. I think we are pretty much biologically encoded to "enjoy" keeping stuff, using it, not throwing things away, and enjoying the different ages like seasons.

This is also why i love my old computer, my old scratched up cellphone, a beautiful old car that still runs fine, - the structural integrity of things that has served more than their purpose. I love them even more than "new things". It just feels good to use them on a visceral level.

It's a kind of mindfulness and appreciation for things like the beauty of the stone that has been rounded by the seawater over millennia, or your old trusty body that has more wrinkles but also works like biological magic if you really think about it.

Another iconic "older gentleman" i have met was a meditation teacher in his 80's in SF, still incredibly lucid, still thinking about science, reality dreams and meditation, experimenting pretty much everyday with "being alive" and sharing it with his community.

If not locking down is approximately as bad as locking down, plus the lifestyle benefits of not locking down, that's a win overall.

Aging kills literally everyone. Sure, there will be problems when we stop it, but they won't be worse.

Advancing technology will help solve the problems of inequality too. In the same way that I have more luxuries than an ancient king, the poor of the future will (hopefully) live much better lives than the wealthy and powerful today, even if they're worse off than the wealthy and powerful of the future. Alternatively, ideas like "wealth" may erode as we get cheaper energy (fusion, better solar), better robots and AI. Productivity may go so high that everyone can have everything they want.

There isn't a single TV show that can't tell a compelling story in 26 hr-long episodes (~2 seasons)
Sure, some shows truly shine with time, but if your show is likely to get cancelled, then you should start tying off plot threads for the current arc.

A great example is the Boys. Each season ends with them tying off the main arc, and an expose that sets up for the next season. Season 2's conclusion felt satisfactory, while still keeping me excited for what's to come. The 1st season of Witcher does this really well too.

Netflix's problem is the same one as network TV. It is just far more evident with Netflix because the binge format is central to it. When the entire show is enjoyed in a very small time span, the ending affects your perception of the show more strongly than if the show was enjoyed over years on broadcast TV. A similar phenomenon is visible with movies too, where a bad ending can often come to define the entire movie.

I'm surprised that TV contracts haven't become more sophisticated and diverse with time. How about sign a 3 season contract with no extensions or mandate arc conclusions for shows whose fate is up in the air? Maybe create a final season as a low-budget short, allowing show runners to provide a conclusion when axed.

I'm no expert on the matter, but the complete lack of new ideas in the domain is surprising, given the degree to which Netflix has revolutionized the rest of the distribution business.
Except that one political party has been in the process of attempting to cripple the Post Office and their ability to operate effectively and efficiently for the last 6 months leading up to the election. If I were a paranoid person, I would say it almost looks like some sort of concerted effort.

Yes, but can you somehow easily get a temporary number? Like those 10 minute email boxes?
> It seems like unfortunate timing - Facebook's cracking down on fake accounts before the election right as the Quest 2 launches.

No, this isn't new, more people are just seeing it now since they just expanded the market of users.

It has been like this for years: If you go out of your way to create an account disconnected from a social graph so that it doesn't creepily alert people that would have saved your number/email and uploaded all their contacts in the past, Facebook will ban the account within 10 minutes.

Somebody's inevitable rebuttal: "Yeah but my grandma just made an account and didn't get banned"

Okay, good for you. The described reality here is also valid.

To make it not ban the account you can upload a contact photo and try to friend request multiple people in a social graph. The time limit is very short and you will otherwise very quickly get instabanned or stuck in a security verification loop where the verification never comes.

This is just creepy Facebook behavior for their data mining operation, now masquaraded as "ensuring quality of accounts". This is the same behavior as when they use insecure SMS one time passwords instead of client side code generation, and then use that phone number to add it to the social graph.

Their behavior is very consistent and there is no one individual there responsible for it and even understands the use case.

In this case, this is just another byproduct of Facebook employees living in the warped reality where everyone loves the Facebook product and has it. They honestly believe it there and you should see how confused and affronted they will act when you tell them you don't have an account.

This is just a byproduct of that sentiment.

As much as I want to hate this, especially having lived in Korea and being annoyed by this music constantly, I think this represents a profound new direction for the finance industry.

Most of finance in one way or another involves collateralizing some underlying commodity where traditionally that commodity was a physical industrial commodity, real property, or an income stream, to enable the creation of debt. As far as I know there is no active practice of directly collateralizing data (in a way that is seperated from an attached revenue stream) in a debt instrument but I very much believe that this is a thing that we will see in the future.

As the economy comes to place higher and higher value on intangible things like social networks, I feel that this is inevitable.

I wonder if there is a way to incentivize the behavior of "I work at a big company and have the ability to help out a stranger with a problem"? Perhaps people who help others with these issues (which are public by nature of being discussed on reddit/twitter/etc) can put it as an item on their resume when looking to switch jobs - something like "I care about the community and people who use the products I help build. I advocated for [this person (with link to public forum)] which ultimately resulted in [this solution (with link to release note if possible)]."

Of course there is a discussion to have about incentivizing the _wrong_ behavior (the need to create publicity around issues that shouldn't exist in the first place / only people with "clout" become the ones who get their issues resolved).
Dijkstra co-created a rather influential language called Algol 60[1]. It and its immediate descendants are still used in scholarly CS work because it's so good for clearly describing algorithms.
