The problem with this jails/zones stuff is that I don't know anyone who seriously trusts jails and zones for real multitenant workloads anyways. The dealbreaker problem remains a shared kernel attack surface between tenants. It's one thing to propose that Zones are better than namespaces (they probably are), but another thing to cross the threshold where the distinction is meaningful in practice.
It's usually a refrain that comes as a leftist critique of liberals. Generally liberals believe that more thoughtful consumption can solve ills of capitalism while leftists do not. The same idea gets recycled without the critique to mean "nothing you do will reduce the harm you intend to reduce so you're doing that for no reason."
The telecoms weren't even fined. The telecoms formed an association (of some sort) called Broadband for America; Broadband for America hired an unnamed lobbying group; the lobbying group hired three lead generation companies, Fluent, Opt-Intelligence and React2Media.

The lead generation companies paid the fines. See how it works?

If not, let me give another example that's more familiar, from movies: The mobster wants someone dead. The mobster tells the head of their criminal syndicate, who talks to another criminal syndicate who specializes in this sort of thing, who hires some outsiders to do the job. The police catch the outsiders, who take the fall; the DA prosecutes and convicts them, and says 'justice has been done!'

Irony is not sarcasm! There's nothing ironic about the way the article is written, especially as it's such an incendiary accusation to begin with - the very place one should not be using neither irony nor sarcasm. Such topics need to be treated with great gravity.
Sounds like fingerprinting?
> and that is where the whole business becomes far too intrusive and counterproductive.

How is it counterproductive?
> Linux historically has not, the new thread keeps the parent stack pointer and has to implement careful entry code to switch it without messing up the parent thread.

Well, for calls to fork(2) and clone(2), sure, but the kernel will setup a stack for you on exec(2). It has to have somewhere to stick the command line args, env, and some other extra bits of information like a random seed.
those businesses could have operated through any other large platform. 'the ability to grow their customer base' is more dependent on their business than on which platform they advertise. Google and apple can target users for you too. Facebook just happens to not do anything but social media and ads.
>> The equation is just that, how to solve for the current # of people in prison, therefore it ignores false convictions

>I don't follow this. If you're falsely convicted of murder and get 30 years, why would that show up in the statistics any different than your cell mate who was correctly convicted.

Falsely convicted people are in prison. The equation is about calculating prison population. The equation is not about calculating the number of people who should be in prison or any other qualifier.

That being said, "solve rate" is probably a bad term to use here. It might be more accurate to say something like, "percentage of cases resulting in a charge/indictment"

>> This equation would probably be most accurate if only the most serious sentence were used for "Prison Sentence Length."

>Not if the lesser crimes affect the total length of your sentence.

In the vast majority of criminal cases, the following is true: conviction of 1 count of murder and 100 counts of other crimes (with a lower guideline sentence) results in a sentence equal to the sentence of the most serious crime in the case: murder. It is irrelevant what the other crimes are as the sentences for those crimes will be served concurrently to the murder sentence, which is longer/more serious. So in the vast majority of cases there will be no effect on the total length of the sentence to be convicted of multiple crimes, only the longest/most serious sentence matters.

>I think the difference between prison and jail in this case is irrelevant. If you were held in jail awaiting trail for 1 year and acquitted vs. being sentenced to 1 year in prison on conviction, you're still held against your will for 1 year.

The article quote is:

Well, roughly speaking, the __prison__ population for a given crime is:

Occurrence Per Year x Report Rate x Solve Rate x Conviction Rate x Prison Sentence Length.

My take is that there is nothing more claimed/represented/intended than what is written in the above quote, which means that talk about "jail" is irrelevant to an equation about "prison." I'm not sure if there's anything more to say about that.
> * {Array,List}.append: In most languages I have used append means to append a single element (or in Go's case it is variadic). I would probably rename this to concat and remove the existing concat function.

The question from here is, without Facebook could that have happened? Does Facebook's ecosystem contribute to this success? Does it also contribute to a lack of competitors in this space?
So, this is a weird one. I mean, all of this stuff is pretty much automated, there isn't a team of people at adtech companies going hmmm user 621163091 is looking for PC's serve him an ad for Lenovo. Its a series of complicated ML models with large amounts of inputs and outputs that no human understands at a level where they could predict which ad a human gets.

In the above scenario, I'm not sure that I see a violation of privacy, but I suspect you would. If you could enlighten me as to why, that would be super helpful.
It's easier to understand if your diagram show the starting memory positions (address 0x00000000) at the top, and final positions (address 0xFFFFFFFF) at the bottom. This way the top of the stack is, precisely, at the top.

It doesn't seem to be an standard and there are almost the same number of diagrams with memory from 0 to F than from F to 0. Some of them are more useful in specific contexts, but most are simply drawn the way the author is used to.

Personally I prefer increasing numbers go down, like lines in a file, numbers on a numbered list, timestamp on a log, etc. Having the highest memory value 0xFF on the top seems...odd.

I had three worksites and I also had a few pet projects that would go on 100 computers. Python failed at every level (So did Haskell). I learned Racket just to improve my programming (It did) I then was like let's see how Racket works and it worked perfectly. I was able to deploy my programs and I never had an issue.
If the thesis of this book is, as the article summarizes:

> ... artistic success owes little to vision and purpose, more to self-promotion, but most to unanticipated adoption by bigger systems with other aims, principally oriented toward money, political advantage, or commercial churn. [emphasis mine]

then the question I have is - was it ever NOT this way? Perhaps these dynamics are more legible in post-war America, but I certainly don't think they're uniquely American.

Granting that I am no student of art history, the little I do know makes me think this argument is much more broadly applicable than the author suggests - to give one example, consider the relationship between Michelangelo and the Catholic Church.
Yeah empty threats all around. If only there was a way for google to follow suit. Personally this is enough of a feature for me to switch to an iphone as my next phone. And I've been an android user from the start. Even enough to advocate for it as well.
When you say Apple or Google installed, I assume you’re talking about exposure notifications that they built. I work at Apple and witnessed it. Nothing about it was slapdash and privacy was #1.

In this system, it’s not easy at all for government agencies to track you. That was very explicitly part of the design, as is shown in all the public docs. It’s not like how it works is a secret [1].

Your location isn’t being tracked and put into a database. Nothing about exposure notifications uses location.

The developers of a not-insignificant portion of IoT firmware absolutely are bringing user input in from web forms and chucking it into shell scripts. And unfortunately, it's that same class of developers that are disproportionately likely to pick up zx and run with it.

The point is, at this stage in the evolution of internet security, we pretty much know where the bugs come from. Injection attacks are still a huge practical problem. It would be nice if new scripting languages reduced that attack surface rather than increasing it.
> you put that statement in quotes to imply that Wade is the one who said it, but in fact, it's the article author who wrote that statement, not Wade!

No, I put it in quotes to indicate that it was a quote. And yes, allturtles is correct that the author was engaging in a rhetorical device here, and is clearly (at least, it's clear to me) asserting that, yes, Wade's thesis was essentially racist. I don't think we're going to get anywhere continuing this, though, so let's just agree to disagree.
The masters are still schooling me:

c = c+'A'-'a';

Though they too learn... C fixed this problematic syntax:

So they are not that different from me - just smarter.
I doubt they really care. Remember, these users are the products, not the customers: being able to sell exclusively "premium" (or targeted) ads isn't going to somehow tank anyone's business, which is why Apple's sideways approach here is asinine. They're slowly cutting off all means of distribution until every app is accessed through a subscription routed through the app store, where Apple can take yet another cut.

It's all petty landgrabs in the end, this is why I can't stand using MacOS. Can't Apple treat my computer like something other than a hostage for negotiation?
And this is exactly why the apps failed: even HN readers don't know how they work.

That's not strictly speaking true, especially when politics and money get involved. Unless you're using a very loose definition of "force" which doesn't include any kind of network effect at all.
It makes sense to me that bird song would have few harmonics. Although we may appreciate the beauty of bird song they don't sing for aesthetics. They are signaling. Concentrating energy into a narrow band delivers greater range for the same energy than harmonically rich signals. We do likewise with electromagnetic communication.
But compared to Racket Python is so much less of a tool when limited to standard library.

Not an FB shill but it has helped me reconnect with family overseas that I haven't contacted in 10 years or so (left as a child).

I use their video chat platform to talk with them once a week.

Don’t forget the one-star reviews for shipping problems. “Arrived broken because the box was smashed in half” is still marginally more useful than “arrived three days late”. They’re both irreverent when comparing the products themselves.

For that matter, buying USB charging hubs is a nightmare. The reviews are identical on every single one: there’s always at least one who overloaded theirs and complained that their house burnt down.
When separation of church and state was implemented, churches were very powerful. I wonder what the differences are between their power and modern corporations.

This argument I’m very skeptical of. The pre-Facebook internet was niched. Lots of sites for all sorts of subcultures. Online businesses that were relevant to <=10% of the population would advertise on the sites that cater to their niche. Facebook ads as a distribution channel is all that we know in this day and age. Who knows whether online small businesses would be better or worse with a different paradigm.
I'm sorry, I think I could have been more clear. Yes the ticket was closed. The place to discuss options in the new approach would be in the new ticket. Even though that particular patch was rejected as a solution, newer potential solutions to the same problems could still be discussed in the new ticket. Is there some fact that I missed? That new ticket still seems to be open for discussion, and it doesn't look like they are opposed to solving the problem at hand, they're only opposed to that one particular solution that won't solve the problem in all cases.
I agree that there seems to be some wobbliness in definitions here.

I think your citation must have an error. It says:

> In the United States, only 5 percent of the original grasslands remain; or about 358 million acres.

If I understand this right, it's claiming that there were once 20 * 358M = 7,160M acres of grassland. But the total size of the United States - everything, not just grass - is about 2,400M acres, so that can't be right.

Maybe they mean 5% of an original 358M? But no; the "358 million acres" in that blog post is a link to a conservation group report; the report is definitely saying that there are 358 million acres of grassland in the US today.

Definitely agreed that the old prairies are pretty different, especially in the wet crop-heavy areas like Iowa. But as I understand it, the dryer west, like the Dakotas and Nebraska and Colorado, are not as changed. But anyway, I'm really interested in the original topic - do we still have good carbon sinks? I would think all that pastureland would be pretty good at sucking up carbon and storing it in soil, but I don't know.
As long as it's not one of those halal killings, I don't see a problem. Bullet to the head, done. I've rotated spit roast as a child and didn't find it creepy.
I hope Debian manages to keep sparc64 in Debian Ports. Just last night, I was fixed an alignment portability issue for e2fsprogs which only showed up on sparc64. The "non-portable" code worked just fine on all of the officially supported Debian architectures, and the only one where one of the alignment problem showed up was sparc64[1]. (Two of the alignment problems did show up when running a 32-bit arm chroot on a 64-bit arm kernel, but one of them, a failure in the regression test j_recovery_fast_commit, only be reproduced on sparc64.)

Sparc64 support is rocky; yes, it has a modern gcc, but stack unwinding in gdb is totally broken. (Not sure if that's a gdb or a gcc problem, but just try building some trivial program where main() calls some trivial function, and then try setting a breakpoint inside that function, and then try getting a stack trace.) This made finding the root cause of the alignment bug-induced crash much harder, but at least sparc64 served as a canary in the coal mine. Supporting niche architectures is great from a software quality perspective.

White “progressives” have not made Omar (or Tlaib) the face of anything, nor does Omar pretend to speak for all Muslims (or all Somali refugees for that matter). Omar also does not have “extreme” views; she is a mainstream Democrat with mainstream center-left policy positions.

Omar gets “amplified” predominantly because Fox News inter al. keep dumping on her all the time, and shrieking about what an “extremist” she is (generally without any reference to specific actions – as I said it’s a pure identity politics thing for them). If you have come to think that Omar is an extremist, ask yourself who keeps telling you that.

It seems like you are upset that progressives don’t put a lot of effort into boosting the political influence of Trump supporters. But why ever would they? It’s not progressives’ fault that GOP-aligned media made Muslims the bogeyman du jour after 2001 and amped racist people up into believing that Muslim = terrorist, to the point that conservative Muslims can’t get anywhere in GOP politics.

As for CNN: CNN is a center-right pro-establishment pro-corporate media outlet that does some good journalism but like all cable news also fills hours every day with bloviating pundits and sensationalized nonsense. People should stop watching cable news so much.
