> Some might object and say you have obviate the need for that taboo by just not having affirmative action, but the problem with that is that it might take orders of magnitude longer to wash away the effects of the unjust generational racism in the area in question.

There seems to be a belief kicking around that if we could just help minorities in the right way, racism would go away faster.

I don't think this is so. Time after time in US history, the government has tried to institute "helpful" social programs to lift black people up. Time after time, those efforts have failed. Any time that blacks start to build some wealth for themselves, the government comes in to "help" and screws it all up.

Let's look at something like desegregation. Every reasonable person will agree that desegregation needed to happen, but it was rushed and the consequences of it weren't considered like they ought to be.

Black students, many of whom previously went to schools that were less good, were now integrated with racist white students and faculty. So while the "education" part may have been better, they were too concerned with being bullied to actually get a decent education at all. The net result? A poorer education that they would have got at their "worse" black-only school.

Additionally, black-owned businesses were thoroughly destroyed by desegregation. Before desegregating, black business owners had guaranteed business via other black patrons. Afterwards, blacks were free to patronize other businesses when it was convenient, but racist whites at the time still refused to support black business. That ended many black businesses.

The Pruitt-Igoe complex [1] replaced many homes owned by blacks. They thought they were "helping" blacks escape the poor living conditions of their older homes. Instead, they fractured black communities and destroyed the equity they held in their own properties.

A poorly-designed welfare system throughout the 70s and 80s trapped blacks into low-income lifestyles and incentivized fathers not being present at home, which is a significant disadvantage for youths [2].

So here's where this is all going - the government needs to get the fuck out of the way and let black people succeed. We, as society, can and should intervene to stamp out racism _where it is evident_. What you can't do is look at income or incarceration statistics in a vacuum and say "clearly America is still very racist."

There is work to be done, and most people don't dispute that. What is disputed is that fighting racism with racism is an effective strategy. It isn't.

The amount of work you are expected to complete should just not be as high if you have a work event during working hours.
Yes. A lot of textbook writers take the time to structure the exercises so that working them out yourself guides you to a much deeper knowledge and appreciation.

One day, out in the real world, you will be faced with problems for which there is no solution ready to go. A good education prepares you for that challenge.

I use https://increment.me and toss some suggestions out and ask my team to send in theirs. Been great so far. Things that have come back for ex - calls with specific leaders in the company w/no agenda, just give people part of a day off, do some mid day gaming, etc. Thematically most wanted company fun inside working hours.

Only disclaimer, Increment’s my product.
Right. I'm referring here to the external affordances of UUIDs. Site performance is not my concern ;-)

The degree of programming involved in all of these exploits was laughably small. The Ello link literally includes the script I'd run for the G+ data pull, it's a bash one-liner. Parsing mostly consisted of a regex grabbing and isolating the posting date and follower counts from the rendered HTML.

The larger point being that if you provide a reference to the UUID set, sampling becomes easy, is ... well, come to think, if you're assigning sequential IDs and I know the upper and lower bounds of that range, I can still sample randomly from within it.

The problem of exhaustively searching a large-relative-to-references UUID space also apply, though I'm not sure if/how that might impact internal or site operations.
That was exactly how I learned what goatse was. My MySpace page was all decked out with images that I was hotlinking from some server... The server owner realized this and replaced all the images with Goatse. One day a friend goes "Hey... uh, what's up with your MySpace page... that's pretty gross". So I went to log in: Goastse. Goastse everywhere (gestures with hand). And my eyes were never the same again ಠ_ಠ

Edit: grammar.
If you've lived in the midwest anywhere in the last, I dunno, 5 decades, you'll know that John Deere plays the long game. They advertise to people from their infancy to their adulthood. They have more brand recognition in the midwest than either Pepsi and Coke.

When you've been exposed to this kind of life-long influence, it's hard to break out of the mindset. You know John Deere Green, and they've been associated with quality and durability and they belong with you on the farm. They're all but family.

Case, or that weird orange company with the foreign name, on the other hand, are strangers who you don't know if you can trust.

Advertising, no matter how much we say to the contrary, works. And John Deere are old hands at that trade.

Always found ec2instances.info super useful. But found vCPU such a weird unit (that's on AWS of course), as it changes with every CPU generation. So I bought cloudinstances.info. Originally wanted to demystify the vCPU. Never got around to actually building it.

Anything you would like to see?

Was thinking of the following:

- some stock synthetic benchmark

- response times of "todolist" app in django, express, ... for real-world data

- all kinds of io latencies and percentiles

- detailed CPU info including cache sizes (and maybe even cache thrashing of noisy neighbours as probably not everyone uses cache allocation technology yet)

- comparing with some dedicated hardware (would be interesting how nitro compares to kvm based cloud providers)

Any more ideas?

The major group Signal wants to market to is normal people, and they've stated repeatedly that they optimize for that over maximum security with what they consider worse usability.

And even though I disagree with the focus on phone numbers and wish they'd prioritized a model that makes them optional, I do understand the network effect argument for including it. Kind of annoying that the alternatives that do it better have a hard time, but I also have to admit that it proves Moxies point to a degree.
That is a sentence that contains words I wouldn't dispute. I still fail to connect it to the original post in any way.
Not sure what you mean, but the accepted PEP does appear to be a statement. What was the alternative?
I suppose it depends on causality - do otherwise "str8" men who experiment with other men "turn" gay, or do "queer" men self select themselves for such experimentation?

Regarding your hypothesis, I'd suggest that perhaps queer kids are more likely to be targeted by older male relatives for sexual abuse.
1) Are farmers really unable to repair their tractors? I know the Deere has a major repair network and their PowerGuard plans - you can do relatively comprehensive coverage for 5 years or so I think with a $100 deductible.

2) Don't they sell original, reman and alternative parts?
https://www.deere.com/en/parts-and-service/parts/

3) Don't they have a major dealer network - 3,000 dealers in the US alone? At least where I am there is a ridiculous number of deere dealers. Is the complaint that farmers cannot fix things themselves vs not get repaired at all?

4) Isn't a lot of this hacking around getting features you didn't pay for - license key gen stuff and getting around speed limiters etc? I'm not sure I count that as "repair" though I know it's super annoying and everyone wants to turn off stuff, turn off features.

Same thing with DPEF deletes and bypasses on diesel equip in US (also rampant) and a lot of the tuning. Plenty of folks "hack" their equip with a tune or to do a DPEF delete, then submit a warranty claim (at least in cars) when they burn something up. But major demand is not around repairs, a lot of the black market demand is around this other stuff.

5) The integrated combine stuff is not simple software, there def is a major investment in the tech stack for some "farms". I might call it ag engineering now? 3 cm accuracy season to season, active yield management (ie, monitors how settings affect yield, can map yield, tweak settings etc etc).
That's my point. Most manufactures are stuck in these giant slow enterprise-sales processes.

When a hospital wants to buy from Armbrust, we send them to our shopify store, they can put in a PO and we ship same day. It's like bringing the internet to a world that's been using fax machines to communicate.

I get most of my news from NewsNationNow and the Reuters direct feed.

I am a long time current subscriber to the NY Times. I hate what they have become, but still subscribe as they have have a handful of professional reporters. Anything US political from the NY Times is untrusted by me, but their foreign reporters are still trustworthy and doing good work.

I maintain paid subscriptions to other newspapers including NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Las Vega Sun, Houston Chronicle, St. Louis Post Dispatch and Cincinnati Enquirer among others. I believe in supporting news publishing as there is importance ensuring it continues.

Number of hospitals are not a relevant measure, since all the major hospitals are public. Here are more relevant measures: 70% of the hospitalizations and 73% of urgent care occur in public hospitals.

I don't have the numbers for psychiatric hospitalizations, but I would guess the number is higher than 70%.

Canonical Identity Provider (https://launchpad.net/canonical-identity-provider) behind Ubuntu SSO is free software, but the documentation is lacking (it's an openid provider with oauth support for application tokens; not sure if it's been moved to openid connect). To get proper users and groups, you'd needed to extract Launchpad Registry from Launchpad itself (https://launchpad.net/launchpad), though I think some "teams" functionality was added to Identity Provider itself.

In general, if more sites grew proper OpenID auth vs justa subset of providers, we'd see more people run their own OpenID servers to authenticate against external services.

Basically, for an open source/free software service to succeed in this area, it needs to allow both federated and SaaS model because that's how free software people are :) And federated is hard because nobody accepts pure OpenID anymore (and it's funny: you'll trust an email address but not a URL as a unique identifier). But it's probably how hard it was to get working that's the issue.

> Royal powers went away in 1689.

More to the point, virtually all royal powers can, by tradition which is as strong as fundamental law, if not as clear on how you might amend it, be used only on the advice of (which in practice means at the direction of) of various bodies of Government, mostly the Cabinet wearing different hats.

The Crown just provides a bit of formal distance from the acts for the actual actors (but, being as it's been true for so long, that probably doesn't mean much in terms of practical accountability.)
I'd disagree with this, and I consider my work 'fun'. In the Before Time, we had monthly summer grill-outs with families and Thanksgiving turkey bowling and winter pizza luncheons and other events. We had only one event (a Christmas party) at the founders' house after hours. But none of that was mandatory, try as you might one or two people are going to have a conflict for the Christmas party every year because the holidays are busy and that's fine.

But it's one thing to ask an employee to report after-hours for an emergency service call. It's another to demand they attend something (fun or not) that could have been during work hours but you scheduled it after hours.
The House of Lords has included many political appointees since 'Life Peers' were created in 1958. Hereditary peers were mostly removed from the House of Lords in 1999, though a small rump of 92 remained as a motivation to decide for the long term whether it should be appointed or elected.
A few of the things we've done:

- virtual murder mystery (two people on the team wrote it all up, it was intense, but I think you could buy a good package)

- drawing apps online we use https://skribbl.io but the ads are tedious

- we did a scavenger hunt for household items on different themes (we did a thanksgiving one) - this is easy to adapt to a lot and a lot of fun to see what folks have around their house - fills a lot of curiosity and makes folks feel more connected, also folks get creative in their finds - which adds to the fun.

- I like the other suggestions of a lego set / cooking - I have a friend whose company sent cooking ingredients and folks all cooked together - another that had two or three people "compete" like a cooking show with the rest of the team judging - good times.

- literally just get a cheesy icebreaker book - for once these things really do help get folks primed and engaged.

- Play Among Us

- Give folks a gift card and have them bring what they buy to a show and tell

Really looking forward to other folks' ideas.
What is stopping someone from running signal on a dedicated burner if they're worried about it?

You can still deploy stuff on a plain application server or whatever. The tools I've worked with haven't really required touching any kind of cluster management or other overhyped (albeit in some cases necessary) and complicated backend stuff if you didn't want to. (My backend experience is with Java and Python, though. I don't know how things are with other backend languages.)

When I started looking into putting together a simple but modern frontend in my own time after having done only backend for years, it seemed like there's quite a lot of tooling and associated complexity that you kind of have to deal with just to get your frontend deployed, whether you need a complex architecture or not.
Makes sense in the short run. In the long run, these arbitrage opportunities would naturally fade away as the market settles on yield/interest equilibrium.
It’s been a disappointing trend that SRE execs have adopted magical ML thinking, believing they’re just a few short years away from ditching all those annoying engineers and replacing them with a model. I am skeptical.
So any concrete stats on how this has helped shorten bug investigation time, improve quality of releases, etc? It looks like an interesting data-driven approach to bug finding but there's curiously no qualitative analysis of how it's actually working in practice. I'd be a little concerned that systems like this can fall into the background as a flurry of noise and process that doesn't actually improve the quality of the product.
It’s bad when China does it to Uighurs. But this same technology can save us from Trumpers. It was interesting to see how gleefully facial recognition tech was cheered when the Capitol riot happened. The secret is to properly label the dissident groups as terrorists.
Not saying all or even a majority of people would or do change their minds based on research, but I would expect there to be at least some open minded people that are just on the other side of the fence on the issue that would change their minds given evidence supporting the opposing viewpoint.

There's nothing wrong with saying, "Look, I'll do everything I can to help you, but you're using a PowerPC on a $5000 FPGA board that I don't have, so the things I'll be able to do for you may be somewhat limited." It's super common to see kernel developers responding to bug reports stating that they need more traces from people with the affected hardware configuration. How is this any different?
Not directly (it can't anyway), but surely it does indirectly through your expression. That is, unless your religion leads to expressions that have no effect, or at least no effect about anyone's opinion on your religion.

You are kind of denying that there is a meta game. The fastest way to loose is not to play and you are telling people not to play.

Conversely however, the typical sectarian individualist would demand their religious feelings be respected. Answering the demand would of course affect validation. In this context I find your rule is a contradiction in terms.

I'm already playing the meta game. The claim would be much stronger if your religion should not affect how you express yourself. Would be difficult to talk about it then, and so it would fulfil your demand, except that religion would likely not be your religion.

But really, any good programm should terminate. Can we talk about hacking again?
If you don't understand "capital", you're probably punching above your weight anyway.

> no but really, do you think replacing 1.4B ICE cars with 1.4B electric cars powered by non recyclable rare earth batteries will "save the planet" ?

Ah, let me clue you in. You may have heard of something called climate change. It is a phenomenon where the atmospheric concentration of certain gases is increasing rapidly, causing substantial and harmful changes in the global climate. It is heavily driven by human co2 emissions, a significant portion of which come from ICE vehicles. Electric vehicles are capable of being powered entirely by clean energy, whereas ICE vehicles, not so much. Switching to all electric vehicles is an important step we must take to combat climate change.

NASA has a great website where you can learn more about climate change: https://climate.nasa.gov. There are many other sources as well.
