This or its tape equivalent has been pretty much how UNIX installation has been done since time immemorial:

1. Your bootstrap ROM boots the system from a file on floppy, tape, or file server.

2. That file is either a second-stage bootstrap with more features that repeats this process, or an installation kernel that has support for a minimum/guaranteed system configuration.

3. You boot that kernel, and tell it where your installation root is (floppy, tape, file server), and it uses that to run the installer.

4. The installer walks you through partitioning and copies a miniroot to your swap partition, and reboots to that.

5. The booted miniroot completes the installation, whether prompting or using information stored to the miniroot from the previous step, and reboots.

6. At this point you may have more config to do since you’re running the “real” system. Some UNIX systems had fancy automatic configuration that would detect what devices you had beyond the minimum and rebuild your kernel with the appropriate drivers and tuning parameters, create the /dev nodes, and so on, and then reboot one more time to a “complete” system.

7. Done! Now is the time for the system administrator to back this all up, so all they need to do in the future is use the installer to partition and restore the contents of the partitions from a backup instead of distribution media.

pen-and-paper RPG taught me to "role play", fake it until you make it. In corporate environments, i believe it is an essential skill to anyone.
To add my fuel to the fire, I think one of the biggest things I've learned from competitive multiplayer games (at least the ones that aren't pure races or two-team contests) is that at some level they all devolve into "vote who wins" and its variants (usually some combination of kingmaking, popularity/influence contests, and sheer luck.) The darker "vote who wins" games depend on deception for influencing the other players' actions (so I try to avoid those games.)

Many real-life situations also seem to be variants of "vote who wins" so it can be helpful to recognize those situations and act accordingly.

Even if you're stuck in a "vote who wins" game, it is still usually worth it to play the core game as well as you can, even if the outcome will primarily be decided by the metagame.
You probably need to scale the two features — SPA serving and APIs — independently, so you’d deploy them in separate pods. Multi-pod containers should be so tightly coupled that they should always deploy together. If you can insert decoupling between containers, do it.
Email definitely counts as a decentralized protocol. Sure, in practice, it's fairly centralized. Most people use Gmail. But you don't have to. That's the key.

If for some reason you don't want to use Google's platform, you're 100% free of creating your own mail server. The crazy thing is that it will probably work out just fine. The mail client/server model is really popular. You can go ahead and DIY your email and use all the popular clients without issue (maybe except Gmail? idk).

And sure, if you somehow become famous in a way Google doesn't like, they can effectively cut you off from lots of other people by not federating with your email server. In practice, though, this is probably pretty uncommon.

Prediction: this story will get flagged and removed from the front page very soon.
If you have a final state double-spend attacks are actually impossible. They are based on the fact that someone can insert a transaction then "overwrite" it by providing a longer chain where the transaction didn't happen or went somewhere else.

This is only ever possible if there is no final state.

Also not sure why you would need centralization for what. Simplified a final state is when a majority declares it as final not a central entity does that.
A double spend would have to include both transaction into the final sate which obviously would violate the systems rules. You cant move the same balance again when you already move it away. So that just wont happen because the code does not allow it. The second Tx is simply invalid just like if you would try to move more coins than you have.

If it reduced the plants' ability to reproduce, surely that would not spread in a population. So that seems no different from any other deleterious mutation. Such mutations happen all the time in any population.

Your argument there does apply to non-Mendelian inheritance ("gene drive"), so banning modifications to crops that would be engineered to cause that seems prudent (although I'm not sure why anyone would want to do that). Modifications to pests, on the other hand...

I think that when people hark to hacker roots or however you want to call the experimental unconstrained and free wheeling pursuit of intellectual satisfaction through commanding over technology, I want to shout out aloud "hackers don't ship they deliver works of art "!

I really was looking forward to reading a deeply philosophical introspective considering the poverty of creation that can result from incessant pursuits of relentlessly necessary and important objectives that you have no part in deciding on in any way regardless of the obviousness of futility or impossibility. Impossible tasks multiply most flourishingly in your nearest non tech founded startup, if you need a refresh. Meanwhile the best of us regularly encounter projects that we cannot apply any benefits of our skills and experience to help or even avert failing. To a certain degree this is commonplace, I mean, not the default mode experience of experienced professionals in tech. We definitely can relate nonetheless.

I find pointless work refreshing and it revitalises me in every way. I tend to choose painting for my pointless occupational diversions, but isn't it a definition of art to need no purpose to exist?
This is Reuters, not a random blog. It should stay.
"The US does have some moral authority in that it sometimes stands up for what's right rather than what's in their best interests. For example, bans on buying conflict minerals."

Yes, it makes sense for them to ban buying conflict minerals since they want to hold a monopoly over that ability themselves. Bolivia is one of the top suppliers of lithium to the US and has suffered dictatorships, election interference, and ongoing far-right paramilitaries financed and trained by the US and it's allies.

The US has NEVER done something to "stand up for what's right", every action they do is calculated to help themselves. If they are condemning or condoning anything, it is for their own self interest. This is how they can simultaneously call out the ethnic cleansing of the Uyghurs by the CCP while simultaneously not being able to even condemn the killing of Palestinian children on record when being asked repeatedly by journalists. That's because China is a rival but Israel is an Ally.

They'e only recently publicly recognised the Armenian genocide by the Ottoman Empire because relationships between the US and Turkey have grown increasingly strained. If they had any moral authority, they wouldn't coddle their friend's war crimes and hold them to the same standards as their enemies.
I had one of those for the VIC20, it got really hot and indeed it was large and heavy.
Let's see!
This very irresponsible reporting, that you don’t see often on Reuters.

People get sick, especially in autumn. And they infect each other. Reporting that some people working at the lab were sick, without any knowledge about kind of sickness is only going to add fuel to the conspiracy theories.
Is there anyone willing to try them? I don't think so. We will see some new sanctions and that's all. There were strong words about Russian occupation of Crimea - who really cares about it now? There will be some sanctions and we will forget about this act of terrorism in few weeks, unless they decide to kill that poor guy, maybe then we will see some additional sanctions. And honestly I have no idea what more could anyone do within current geopolitical landscape.
Probably not, but it's weird to leave that out.

> Being "blind to race" means that the context in which the other person exists is being ignored.

No, it does not. It means that the colour of their skin is ignored. If a white family has the same socio-economic status as a family of colour, should we treat them differently simply based on colour?

I think you mean we should assume the family of colour is actively discriminated against so they can't be in the same socio-economic group, but at the same time you claim that "systemic racism isn't necessarily about personal intent"...?

> Similarly, richer people lack an understanding of what poverty implies about the lack of choices.

This is probs what you actually want to control for, but it's easier to go for the low-hanging fruit that's also culturally fashionable right now, I get it.

My view is certainly coloured by being a white Eastern European living in Western Europe. Not all white people have the same background, certainly not in Europe. I'm sure there are shades of white in America as well. Point being: colour is only an easy proxy for the real issues that need solving.

Here's my "race-blind" take: give help to the people who need it, in the way that they need it. The implementation can then have a race-driven approach, but the policy is race-free. Or is that not good enough?
A gentle reminder that some of the 2019 flu strains were pretty rough. See eg Australia having a lot of problems with it.
this article inspires to recollection the editor's note on that article from 2015 https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985
Lab leak hypothesis has at least 60% chance of being true. Note the word LEAK though, there's no evidence at all it was designed as a weapon.
If you go back to last year and re-read the articles written it makes one really cynical and suspicious of a lot of the coverage on the entire thing.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/30/politics/trump-intelligence-c...
And what conspiracy theory is that? Are you suggesting that the lab leak is a conspiracy theory? Until it is discredited through contradictory evidence, it is still a plausible theory.
Why would they all be in the same datacenter? The beacon chain will periodically select staking nodes at random to go in each shard, and there's an economic incentive for stakers not to use the same infrastructure as everyone else.
The Consensus on Branch Names
Where exactly are you pulling this percentage from?
Of course they do, Belarus is in their pocket and they have to pay accordingly. NATO cannot display weakness again and again. If Russia increases the fee then we take away their planes (via maintenance) which pretty much bans them from travelling around the globe.
Before you flag, comment why:

>Guns aren't necessarily political.

Guns are absolutely 100% political. Their existence is political, and one political party doesn't want them to exist.

>Should I refrain from asking work colleagues who they think is likely to medal in the 2021 Olympics women's skeet shooting event?

Yes, because it's a privilege to be able to shoot guns. Also, guns trigger me, so please do not talk about subjects which disproportionately affect minorities, like guns.

Does this sound familiar?
Why use David Goggins as the exception. Didn't he gain a bunch of weight at one point?
Honestly, I doubt this was flagged because of politics; it was most likely flagged because of religion. There are not a small number of evangelical atheists here, and probably even more fundamentalist capitalists.
> At that time it would have been unthinkable to discuss any further expansion of NATO.

Exactly. It wasn't discussed, nothing was agreed upon or promised to anyone.

Most Eastern European countries that later applied for NATO to secure themselves from increasingly hostile Russia didn't even exist as countries at the time, nor did Russian Federation. It was a totally different time and suggestions of promises about NATO membership availability to Eastern Europe are an anachronism.
> Apple's bargaining power which allowed them to force 3rd parties

You are literally saying that you agree that Apple has very serious market power, and has the ability to force the rest of the market, to do what it wants, using its illegal, anticompetitive behavior.

Go ahead and say that you want this. But you are just straight up admitting that Apple has anti-trust level market power, and is using illegal anti-competitive behavior.

Therefore, they would lose the lawsuit, under your argument.
Someone has to do the job. But if people were smarter, or had better opportunities and made better decisions, nobody would want it, so it would pay more, and then it wouldn't suck so bad.

Garbage man actually pays quite well for an uneducated job because nobody wants to do it.
Yeah no that's bullshit. (and a change of subject)

We're not asking for modular connectors (although those are nice) or larger competents. we're asking Apple (and everyone imitating them) to stop artificially preventing people from replacing parts (either via deals with suppliers that prevent people from buying them or via software lockouts.)

People do surface mount rework all the time (I think the guy TFA is talking about is the same that inspired me to learn how to do it.)

Not having to throw stuff away because a single component that could otherwise be replaced is a huge gain for the environment (especially people in places that ewaste accumulates) and doesn't have to come at the expense of size reduction.
When I talk to people in the world about what about blockchains they find exciting, the aspect of permanence really is one of the things that people find attractive. I agree it's use-case dependent, but the problem is that once you go down the use-case-dependence rabbit hole, developers and users have to really think "am I creating something permanent or not"? And once you have to think even a little bit, you lose 50%+ of the magic. Having properties that you just get by default that you don't even have to think to obtain is quite important.

The good news though is that you don't need permanent storage of history to be supported by the base protocol itself. Consensus nodes don't need to know about history to verify the current chain. There are plenty of other mechanisms for storing historical data: bittorrent, centralized archives, Filecoin-style networks, etc etc. You just need the blockchain's throughput to be not _too_ high, so that it's actually possible for these protocols to store what comes out.

Definitely nothing is permanent, but you can get pretty close to "permanent unless civilization collapses", and that's much better than "data could drop at any time if a few people just forget"!
They're not actually duplicate rules, even if they look like it. To simplify things:

The rule that was removed:

- Hate speech is not allowed

The rules that are still there:

- Hate speech is discouraged

- Illegal hate speech is not allowed

You'll notice that this has opened up an allowance for legal hate speech, which is merely "discouraged", which of course no malicious actor is going to care about.

Bottom line, yes, hate speech is now allowed.
One of the challenges is that the further we get from the time, the harder it is to determine. We may never know.

I suspect I had COVID-19 in the US late December 2019, but as of yet, the CDC doesn't acknowledge that possibility, and I've had enough exposure since that time that there's no reasonable way to test the hypothesis.

At a certain point, some of the investigations stop being practical to investigate further.
As a casual observer this seems really relevant, clearly something that could be important down the road as we learn more. It might not be COVID-19, but it’s the kind of transparency I expect out of government.
Looks interesting, hopefully a bit better than the spreadsheet I normally use in my hunting process.

And yet I learned something. In nearly 50 years of playing with electronics I've never seen such a beautiful LER (light emitting resistor).

Edit: I am disappointed in his hooking up his oscilloscope ground to some random point of the circuit. Did he really do that? It sure looked convincing on the video.

It's something that everyone using scopes learns not to do very early on. It can't be good for the wiring in the scope.
Are you seriously describing this as a "bad accident"?

Yeah, so.. I was in the same boat. Just fake your cv, it sounds really unethical but really if you’re a sr devops you’ll be able to handle all the work easily. You’ll only get in trouble if you can’t actually do it. Maybe do the oscp too.
> To some extent words mean what people who use them intend to mean, but in my opinion we shouldn't be calling parts from the same production line counterfeit, because the word implies forgery.[2]

If they had a particular QC standard marking, but had not been manufactured in accordance with that level of QC, that would be forgery, right?

If they bear the trademark of a company that demands certain QC standards, but were produced without those checks, it seems like the same thing in a way.
The generally accepted worldwide rule is that airspace is owned by the country under it. You actually pay overflight fees for use of a countries airspace and are subject to its air traffic control. The corporate response will always be "don't get shot down."

In the US and most everywhere else, when you willfully ignore ATC they scramble fighter jets. Every pilot is trained in what this looks like and how to respond, but the safe next step is always to respond in the affirmative and land. https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/regulations/inflight...
While "conspiracy theory" is often intended to be dismissive of an idea, it does not automatically mean the idea is false. Conspiracy theories occasionally end up being true, or close to the truth.
Can you elaborate on why SES is shit? I've been using it for about 6 months now to run a small newsletter and haven't experienced any issues with deliverability.
Email does exist, but it just doesn’t feel the same. I don’t feel like I’m having a real time conversation when using email. Email is not instantaneous, so making plans can take a couple of hours, compared to a couple of minutes.

I haven’t forgotten the days of SMS/email, it’s just that instant messaging made things a lot easier.
You are living in a fantasy land world. My good friend lived in China for five years. Needless to say, he doesn’t speak highly of their ethics, politics, and human policies. I temporally lived in S. Korea for a few months and there were solid blocks of days the air quality was so bad you could barely be outside. Of course the pollution made its way down from China’s unregulated factories. I quickly realized South Koreans are frankly quite racist against the Chinese.
It's because calling it a variant is not the same thing as calling it virus.

Trump was calling it the China Virus to deflect any American spread blame away from his inaction.

Calling the variants by where they are found is normal. Hence the UK Variant and the Brazil Variant, etc.

I'm trying to keep an open mind about things, but I just find is so suspicious that the articles blaming China for Covid get upvoted so enthusiastically that people forget to post in the first 10 minutes before they hit the front page.

I'm not trying to reject any hypothesis but I do reject the fervor. And then people come out of the woodwork and try to defend the Wuhan Lab as the source with a load of coincidences that trend to conspiratorial thoughts. Like how we only know of a related Covid strain in bat hundreds of miles away from Wuhan... but bats are not endemic to just Yunnan where the closest Covid-19 match was from. Does Wuhan not have bats?
Blockchain base layers have a stronger need to be close to absolutely decentralized than most other things. This is because base layers aren't applications, they're _the places where all the applications talk to each other_. So if a base layer has a trust dependency, that requires the entire ecosystem to be willing to agree on the same trust dependency.

Applications can be partially decentralized and that's often the best approach, sure.
