Operating system updates are the responsibility of the base image. Use a base image that is regularly updated. For your own images, ensure that they are also being rebuilt regularly.

There are a lot of semi-official Docker images on Docker Hub that are published once and never updated until the next software release. That is a huge anti-pattern in my view, those images should not be relied on for production.

If I understood correctly(?), the claim is that PRISM data was used in only one case, and in that case it was later judged to be irrelevant, therefore PRISM data was never used to help secure a single conviction. But I'm not sure this is right, I found the article pretty confusing on the subject of what actually happened, so I'm not sure. Personally I agree with Imnimo's comment that this is just an overly confusing way of analyzing a surveillance program.
But what is the implication of that? What do those words cause to be different in practice?
Exact same experience here.

At my previous workplace it was a disaster.

They hired too many developers in order to grow, and that led to too many people working on the same codebase. Microservices were adopted to solve that. After two years our product was exactly the same as before, except it had much more issues with latency and errors. Headcount was many times bigger, though.

The problem was microservices being adopted for political rather than technical reasons. They wanted teams to own their stuff, but the boundaries were too fuzzy.

We had a lot of duplicated data because leadership never decided which team owned what. Also, some features had to be made by duplicating data in two different services: if team #2 couldn't convince team #1 to send certain events to their microservice, team #2 had to duplicate the whole DB table using Kafka (Very appropriate, right?) and do a cron job.

Another problem happened was when they banned "microservices" but asked to make "well-sized services". New teams had a limit of how many services they could have and to get around the limitation they started having to mix completely unrelated functionality in a single microservice (and yep, that was sanctioned by leadership).

My current company has Microservices, but they exist purely for technical reasons and are extremely loosely coupled, so it works great.

What happened was that wind mills were fitted with a steam engine in the 19th century. And later, end of 19th century, factories were built to be powered by steam from day one.

Steam came to the Netherlands relatively late. The Netherlands were quite dominant when everything was built from wood. The Netherlands lost its edge when steel became the dominant (structural) element.

Your quote actually entirely supports my assertion.

Look at the poster’s comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24776722

The poster is talking about a ‘not worth it crowd’ dismissively, and as if they are inherently wrong.

The WHO supports the idea that it is almost always not worth it and that the conditions in which it is worth it are narrowly defined.

Whether or not the conditions obtain for it to be worth it is therefore a very valid discussion.

Dismissing (with bulverism) the concerns of those who question the value is not valid.

It is also certainly not true that we know that all of the lockdowns were justified based on the WHO’s advice.

> That's rather the norm for shows; cancellation is a business decision, not a story decision.

I agree. But to my way of thinking, it's a decision with short-term and long-term business impact.

Longer term, it makes me less interested in starting to watch a series produced by that company, because of higher odds of ending up frustrated / disappointed. And it reduces the likelihood of me continuing to subscribe that service or recommend it to friends and family.

I also wonder what the impact on leaving a series unresolved has on its long-term syndication revenue.

Of course I'm just speculating. Depending on the actual numbers, perhaps those long-term downsides are completely acceptable.

Doesn't motivate me to register. I see an uphill battle for twitter, facebook et al to get new people to join and even moreso for people to rejoin. But that's what they get for not really moderating (I mean they have enough users that could do their job and would be willing to do it for free but instead leave it to the algos. Well, maybe one day there will be a good moderating algorithm that doesn't kill their short-term ad-numbers..).

Insightful comment from the thread:

Yeah, I think part of the problem is that Facebook has never had an actual product which people pay for and expect to work. Their whole culture and set of priorities are counter to this.
I was under the impression Netflix canceled most of their shows after the second season because by that point contracts have to be renewed and renegotiated: it just cost too much vs taking their special sauce and applying it to a whole new show with new actors that are cheaper.

Jamstack needs to smooth out the client side of the experience.

Netlify CMS has been great in testing, but I haven't deployed anything to a client with it. I know that, as a dev, I'll never get stuck in a situation where I can't accomplish something with Jamstack (Gridsome is the one I prefer). I just fear the day a client needs to use a CMS and they can't edit/demo something the way the expect.
It's both amazing and terrible. Amazing to see people standing up for their rights and voting in the face of adversity, these voters deserve praise and are role models for the country.

Terrible because it means that they are in corrupt districts that are not properly facilitating democracy. Worthy of a federal corruption investigation potentially resulting in criminal charges. Though I am very glad people are willing to put in the time, it's a terrible thing that they are required to.

Agree. Netflix should follow the Korean drama model if they know shows need to stop after a season or two.

Almost every korean drama is a one season story arc, and they're some of the most watched shows in the world.

Come to the south-east. New build homes down here are heat traps. We have two portable units for the summer and are going to get a full unit next year. We need it. Our house gets to 30C inside and stays at that through the night.

At least one of my neighbours has air-con that I can see, and a couple of re-builds in my town that I can see from the road have them too. My utterly unscientific estimate would be 1 in 500 houses in the SE now have aircon.
Eh, gimmick for some, sure. For others it's a whole new world that they won't leave. For example, got an Oculus for the gimmick and didn't think I'd be so attached to it, but I cannot go back to playing any flight or racing simulator without it again, it's simply not the same. I tried the new FS2020 briefly on launch, but had to go back to X-Plane as FS2020 still doesn't support VR headsets.
Just to comment on the topic at a higher level:

I'd like to add my own thoughts to this discussion, but feel it's the kind of topic that blows up into a mess/mass of opinion such that adding another comment just adds to the dogpile; after a certain critical mass, no-one really reads the majority of comments before commenting themselves, and a positive feedback of repetition begins.

Maybe if the discussion was broken into narrow sub-topics this could be fixed?
I don't think US series are too long. I think they're just badly planned. I prefer the approach you see in anime were a show is usually contained in a single season. If the show does really well they make another show that is effectively the next season. If it does poorly any fans it did get aren't left with an unfinished product.

For a planned multi season story arc Babylon 5 is the best example I can think of. The story arc was planned from the beginning and they stuck to the plan. The temptation to keep piling on more content to a successful show is huge.

For multi season story arcs I think it's important for Netflix or whoever is making the show to commit to the whole thing regardless of early ratings. I'm far more likely to take a chance on a new show if I know the story line will be completed. I don't want to start watching a show only to find out they cancelled it in the middle of the story.
There are similar stories on reddit, with people speculating that the old account actually still existed and the ban was because the new account was imitating an existing account. The idea that they would keep a "deleted" account around seems highly plausible given Facebook's hunger for data.
The question I'm posing is whether the hypothesis is well-specified and true, not whether it's persuasive to the target audience. I think the target audience largely follows your "can I nod along to it" heuristic, but underspecified hypotheses are the easiest to nod along with, because they'll continue to make sense no matter what data you see. If a second wave hadn't manifested in Europe, nobody would see that as a contradiction; they'd just say "well, ok, Europe must have done the right things then".

The idea that the financial system works seems to be a contradiction when you consider that cryptocurrencies (which exist within that system) have been performing extremely well for over a decade. If scams can thrive so well in our system (to the point of becoming worth hundreds of billions of dollars), then how do we know that the biggest corporations are not scams too? How do we know they're not all empty shells? Their earnings (P/E ratios) are very low... And on top of that, I would question the source and legitimacy of these modest earnings.

What kind of system allows scams of this scale to thrive for over a decade? What kind of system supports bailouts of big corporations every few years? Corruption of the media? Corruption of politics?
I don't think any of these fit the description of a 'working system'.

EDIT And what kind of system supports downvoting (thus trying to censor) such a logical comment as this one?
What are some of the potential applications?
In Australia we have two things the US system desperately needs: mandatory voting and preferential voting.

Preferential voting allows you to vote for a third party without wasting your vote.

The standard argument against mandatory voting is people not wanting the uninformed to vote (trust me, they're voting) and the usual US predilection against that infringing "freedom". I was sympathetic to this until I saw the US system in practice.

Waiting for hours in line to vote is exactly why mandatory voting is better: optional voting encourages voter suppression. If you think one party doesn't make it harder to vote in areas where they have a disadvantage you're crazy.

Also, voting needs to be moved to the weekend. This makes finding venues easy: you use schools. This is what we do in Australia.

In Australia voting typically took me 5 minutes at most.

We actually have a bit of a schematic diagram already. It is well known that both dopamine and serotonin are largely produced by clusters of neurons in specific fore/mid-brain regions that then project out into the rest of the brain. The axions of these modulator neurons secrete the hormone, and it is known for both serotonin and dopamine (1) what receptors they bind to, (2) what transporters reuptake them into the presynaptic neurons, (3) what enzymes break them down. So the schematic of the system can be sketched out, and details of it, such as receptor functioning, can be determined pretty well in vitro. What we don't have is the timeseries data to properly parameterize this model. This research starts to provide this. You should check out research in pharmacology; there is a big hole for this and people are just guessing based on this schematic what the dynamics are.
The people behind this would tell you it's a "feature": by making it incredibly undesirable for people in densely-populated areas to vote (which almost universally lean Democratic), you ensure that only the "right" people are able to vote.
For all their data, they still can’t measure things like eroding sentiment, word of mouth that doesn’t happen, etc. I used to recommend Netflix, now I feel mostly meh about it. That is the long term road to cancellation at the personal level and irrelevance/bankruptcy if it happens at large scale.

Dijkstra provides glimpses of his reasoning scattered across his missives. For example, for FORTRAN in https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD03xx/EWD340...

"The second major development on the software scene that I would like to mention is the birth of FORTRAN. At that time this was a project of great temerity and the people responsible for it deserve our great admiration. It would be absolutely unfair to blame them for shortcomings that only became apparent after a decade or so of extensive usage: groups with a successful look-ahead of ten years are quite rare! In retrospect we must rate FORTRAN as a successful coding technique, but with very few effective aids to conception, aids which are now so urgently needed that time has come to consider it out of date. The sooner we can forget that FORTRAN has ever existed, the better, for as a vehicle of thought it is no longer adequate: it wastes our brainpower, is too risky and therefore too expensive to use. FORTRAN’s tragic fate has been its wide acceptance, mentally chaining thousands and thousands of programmers to our past mistakes. I pray daily that more of my fellow-programmers may find the means of freeing themselves from the curse of compatibility."
I have used the Petit version a lot and I love it. But it is not always very efficient because it does no caching. I've done a fix so that when I have 512 bytes to spare it will save the last sector read. It speeds things up a lot without the fixed overheads of the full Fatfs. I probably should offer it up if it's possible.
Except that who did the analysis is part of the analysis, which allows you to select and trace based on qualifications that you think are important. This above proposal sounds like a bunch of random people off the street, which is not at all going to result in the same quality of analysis. If the proposal is to create a board of qualified information judges and a process for selecting those judges, I could get behind that.
