First of all, you’ll be amazed at what hardware load balancers can do.

Secondly, if you want you can still have multiple load balancers listen to a single IP; it’s a bit more tricky to pull that off with HTTP load balancing rather than just network load balancing, but not impossible.

Example of a load balancer appliance that allows multiple load balancers to share a single IP: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-admin/h...
Indeed. To say it another way, state power is total by default. Every individual right is carved out of that default total power.
Well, the police can also temper with any other evidence all the time anyway.

So it is anyway about trust - and how to check reliable, if they deserve trust.

This is how I would choose, which places to visit.

Australia is still quite good on that list, as cases where the police officers for example - are the ones doing the kidnapping and ransoming and investigation about it all by themself, like it is common in other places - are still quite rare.

My experience with australian police officers are a friendly warning for me, for ignoring a red light while at foot. And a asshole police officer stopping and handing out a hefty fine for us, for not "deadstopping" at a stop sign at a empty roadcrossing at night - explicitely, because we were driving a backpackers car and not a local one (he said so)

So all in all, I would probably visit again.
I see constantly lots of parents that use physical punishment with their kids with lousy results.
Violence delegitimize authority. You think your kids respect you, but they fear you.
Like the subjects of a dictatorship they will be role model citizens under your eyes, and run all kind of "illegal activities" and you are not close.
I know because my mom beat me. Yes, I ended up fine, DESPITE it, NOT BECAUSE of it.
There and New Zealand both. The responses (extreme lockdown) of both countries to Covid has been nothing short of insane.
The implication here is that there's a sort of "pareto distribution" of capability when it comes to voting "well". This was an issue that the founders tried to solve (in a bad way) by attempting to limit voting to property owners.

Of course, at the time this almost exclusively meant wealthy white men - which is obviously a terrible way to run a voting system.

The converse of this is the "bread and circuses" problem with Democracy. This was supposed to be mitigated by the "House of Lords" equivalent in the U.S. - The Senate.

The Senate was supposed to have been a buffer that protected against popular vote because they were assigned by the state legislature. They were beholden to the welfare of the state, not to direct-democracy political campaigning and all its ills.

Personally, I think its time to re-evaluate the 17th amendment to see if it had the desired effect, or resulted in massive unintended consequences.
Why was this downvoted?

Anyways, the Fourth Amendment says nothing about alterations by LEAs to seized documents. That hadn't been invented yet, I guess, back in 1789. Though arguably Due Process requires a well-behaved justice system that wouldn't do that.
There are urban areas where the housing choices, the lack of space, means you are going to be doing your hobbies outside of the home.
> When the US prints money

The vast majority of money that is created in modern credit-based economies is via bank loans, not central banks. Cullen Roche the very informative paper "Understanding the Modern Monetary System" ten years ago, and it's still relevant:

> In many market based systems such as the USA, the money supply is essentially privatized and controlled by private banks that compete to create loans which create deposits (money). Contrary to popular opinion, governments in such a system do not directly control the money supply nor do they create most of the money.

This is especially true in places where reserve requirement no longer exist, e.g., Canada got rid of them in the 1990s.
The early Vale Tudo/MMA/UFC legends are just now starting to get at the age they can show the symptoms. I guess the next decade will be interesting in terms of showing the results.

You already have people like Wanderlei Silva openly talking about their symptoms, and it's clearly this guy has got something (he admits so!). On the other hand, the type of crazy stuff Wand did is not what people do these days. Wand believed being knocked out would make you more resistant to knockouts! If you have a few spare years to learn Portuguese I highly recommend watching the many interviews he has on Youtube where he talks about this.

Anything could be a honey pot but they're already posting on a service hosted by their employer... weird concern at that point.
Heh. Personal anecdote: at 10 seconds I would do as you expect, but if the gap were longer I would do much better with sound.

I discovered relatively recently that I simply cannot remember colors. My vision is fine, and my short-term memory for colors is also fine. If I'm in a room and you ask me to close my eyes and say what color the walls are, I can do it. But if you ask me the color of the wall of my bedroom, where I go every night, then I will only be able to tell you if we recently painted it and verbally discussed paint colors. (I think it's a shade of blue? Or maybe green. Possibly gray. My family likes to pester me with this question, so you'd think I would memorize the answer at some point, but I haven't.)

I'm kind of curious how common this is. But since I lived several decades without noticing it in myself, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't very well recognized.

Assaulting someone is a crime, so is criminal harassment in my state and I assume others. It sounds like we need to define what is meant by "canceling" someone.
Especially since it is implemented in Racket! Puns all the way down!
Sure, but I've never seen a non-Docker Desktop installer for any of the tools like the CLI, Compose etc., and I can't seem to find one now either.
I’m appalled at this legislation, but also curious about how they intend to do this. Are they going to be compelling service providers to comply with specific requests, or give them admin accounts, or…? Do targets of their activities receive notification when their online content is modified or removed? What recourse is there in cases of abuse of these powers?
For folks who don't know, one thing right out of the union-buster handbook is that you first remove the ability of workers to organize themselves at work -- and then when they have to resort to visiting their co-workers at their homes to organize them, you make those home visits an argument against the union.
Oh, god, that's just dawned on me too. Time to look for another provider
You had me at REXX. :-)
> public health officials should be telling individuals some basic things that they can do to really reduce harm: people with symptoms of a respiratory infection, vaccinated or unvaccinated, should stay the hell away. They shouldn’t visit vulnerable friends or relatives. They should cancel social plans. They should call in sick for work. They should get tested and stay home until recovered. Employers should insist that sick employees stay home.

Not only telling people. We should work to enable this. Missing a week of work can be expensive and many are broke. There is a perverse incentive here. I'm not sure the best way to address it.
When the system will refuse something that benefits them ? It’s applied Kafka
That's terrible news. I wonder how this will interact with ProtonMail (which I just switched to.)

On the other hand, I don't think you can draw your conclusion from those two examples. Also, other than the cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden and Glarus, Switzerland isn't really a direct democracy, semi-direct at best. You'll notice they have representatives in a federal structure, despite having mechanisms for some direct democracy, and that's not for nothing.
When you add up salary + benefits + workplace amenities + taxes + software licenses and whatnot, you get there mighty quick.
protonmail?
What does this mean, and how does one take it? Googling it comes up with misogny and a documentary of the same name.
It must’ve been quite a typo, that comment is still underwater after being corrected :-) I upvoted FWIW
This is amazing. Do you have more info on how to do this?
Google and Apple's engines are open source (and Microsoft now contributes to Google's). What would be the benefit of a separate reference implementation of this standard? I suppose it would be easier to port to other browsers if it were designed as a standalone library rather than tightly integrated into an engine. But the idea of going to pains to design a standalone library seems to contradict your later statement that you want an entire reference browser.

A web browser is orders of magnitude more complex than a video encoder or a Wayland server. Not aiming for high performance would make a browser a little less complex, but not by much, so there doesn't seem to be much point. Minus that, you're just asking for someone (who?) to write a new web browser from scratch. It would certainly be nice if there were more independent web browser codebases in general, but I don't see what special benefit a new one would bring to the table just due to being marked as a "reference implementation".
We're still using Spring boot and some JHipster. I feel quite productive in Spring boot and, even though I hate frameworks, its the best framework I have ever used.
Yeah, that's the part that really bothers me. We are really seeing an increasingly large body of evidence that suggest natural immunity is on par or greater than purely vaccinated immunity and yet all the focus has been on giving people the jab.
The issue with intersectionality is the same as the issue with affirmative action: a person is treated as an RPG character where the desired outcome is to "save" the person with the "lowest" stats or compensate for some real or perceived loss in that person's life. In the case of intersectionality, the "winner" is the person who can stack the most "undesirable" traits on his/her bingo card of victimhood (i.e. the victim Olympics) without any consideration given towards his/her personal agency. Intersectionality, both in premise and application, is, in my view, a collection of x-isms of low expectations masquerading as some grand revelation about societal functions.

And I don't think your longterm timeline, even with the nuance and consideration you believe to missing from its application, would bring you to a world where people understand one another's circumstances and integrate these observations into their personal livelihood. Instead what you'll have is a world beset with the reinvention of tribalism and original sin. While intersectionality may have some merit as a sociological observation (even if I though I find its claims to be unfalsifiable), a sociological observation cannot be treated a deterministic inevitability supplanting human agency.
When do these start-ups typically decide to announce? When would we know all of the batch?
What do you think about Standard Notes' self-hosting options then?
Sorry, but I still don’t see how it’s relevant. What’s the problem with having a decorative penis pin on your jacket? If that’s the way you like to dress, enjoy yourself! Why should we accept that a judge is letting themselves be so provoked by these insignificant things? That doesn’t sound to me like a person who is able to impartially evaluate the case based on the law.
I think you missed the point. By this logic, the top 51% have more influence than the bottom 49% so why isn't GP saying they're the ones driving democracy?

As an aside, if you look at the elected representatives of Australia, I suspect you'll find most of them are highly educated.
Of course one can avoid most domestic laws by moving to another country. My point is that when someone asks for a solution to this problem, I’m assuming they are looking for something to actually help solve the problem in that country, because they’re probably already aware that simply leaving is a viable way out for themselves (if they can afford it).
I'm part of a company that doesn't need to change a thing because of this.

I want to move out of Docker services because of the "The new terms take effect on August 31, 2021" part of the email I've just received, even if it's followed by a "with a grace period until January 31, 2022".

I'm OK with them trying to get money. I'm not OK with them changing things overnight.
I use Linux as my primary OS on some systems. My work laptop is a Mac and is specified by the company. I use it mainly to connect to Linux VMs and work within the VMs. My main gaming desktop is Windows because the selection of games is so good and Proton is great but not a perfect replacement. I'm more likely to buy a game that's available on at least two OSes, though. That's normally Windows and either macOS or Linux if it's two. Games that support Mac and Linux but not Windows are rare. My non-game computing at home is almost entirely Linux, with some Mac, DOS, Amiga, Atari, Commodore, TI/99-4a, Tandy CoCo, Apple II, a single Pi that runs RiscOS instead of Linux, some old DEC machines, and various Z80 machines thrown in.

The mystery of the “short” cappuccino. (2006)
Well, and at some point, even relatively cautious rational people go: "I'm not permanently curtailing my activities." I live in a deep blue state and, while you see masks, life has returned to normal in a lot of respects.
Can you elaborate on this? What are the product categories that work for bootstrappers in B2C?
Yes, there's no contract and I didn't start out expecting to come across a vulnerability so obviously there was no outcome expectation on my part.

I think I'm feeling frustrated that industry credibility is not meaningful to me because this is not my industry and the expectation of pro bono responsible disclosure means that they take advantage of my expertise when (1) I never offered it and (2) they pay developers to do this kind of work all the time.

I think you're helping me get at an underlying question I have: is it fair to say, "if you're running a SaaS, you should have a bug bounty program?"
Anarchy is not opposed to a well ordered peaceful society!
Wow good work friends!
I do have a question.

'Data disruption warrant: gives the police the ability to "disrupt data" by modifying, copying, adding, or deleting it.'

What does it really mean? Can they now legally change what website says to me? Intercept and change what signal message says?

I am genuinely trying to understand what functionality hides behind this broad language.
you can be against gun control without collecting guns. there are also gun collectors who are somewhat in favor of gun control (eg, "fudds").

my point is that many (maybe most?) political positions have very little to do with how people actually live their day-to-day and treat others in their life.
I've always found talking about firearms in response to a legislative body acting to be reactionary and shortsighted, but also a little humorous, in a sad kind of way.

I wonder if you realize you're intimating, even obliquely, that you'd be willing to kill cops, soldiers, and democratically elected officials for performing their duties because you individually don't agree with their decisions.

In other words, you're mad at the government for being too authoritative, so your reaction is to take the most authoritarian step possible and literally murder them for their political beliefs.
> On experimentation, communism and authoritarianism have been tried many, many times. There's nothing novel or experimental about it. We know it sucks. We know what Taliban style Islamic theocracies are like too, Afghanistan has been under one before remember?

And Democracy was tried several times during the French Revolution, as well as in many countries in Africa, to great failure. You can't generalize from small n.

It's really unclear how Communism would have worked out if not for Stalin. Communism isn't fundamentally authoritarian. The concept of workers soviets as a political system sounds pretty plausible to me. Things played out that way, but it's only been tried once.

And as far as a planned economy, I think the feasibility really changes with access to computers which can simulate complex systems. Market economies are a greedy algorithm. It's likely there's a better system.

What I like in the current Chinese model is market economy for commodity businesses (like restaurants) and central control of rent-seeking ones (like banking). That seems more efficient. I also like the concept of systems of governance which are more meritocratic (which contrasts with populist ideals in the US), where competent people make decisions, and where you can plan strategically over long periods. I don't think China has yet stumbled on the right model there. But they're trying.
One of this channels can lead to a lawsuit. Guess which one.
Did Paul Dirac address the matter directly? The Robert Heinlein essay sounds interesting; I'm just confused about why he had to speculate about Dirac's belief. It's not a topic about which I know much.
For me after a while it simply fails to finish a backup. It's horrible.

If you don't like the fact that the disabled may have to be looked out for on your dime or taxpayer's dime, that sounds more like an argument for government not "looking out" for someone who voluntarily risked their body.

Being your brother's keeper doesn't mean getting an IRS agent and some agent with a gun to force someone who didn't consent to someone else playing football/rugby to pay for their injury. Being brother's keeper doesn't mean removing consent.

I think what you should really be arguing for is the rugby association to properly compensate anyone with medical disability as a result of their employment.
Before you fret about this, imagine if we had the opposite problem and population was growing the way it was in the US frontier days. If that were the case we really would be facing a "Soylent Green" future.

I'll take the problems caused by a shrinking population over that.
There's nothing stopping Apple from still managing subscriptions. The difference is an extra call to the payment processor, either done by the vendor or Apple.

Whatever this paper is showing, it is nothing more than what ants can do.

Also the current HN title contradicts the paper, it's not showing if the pig could free the other pigs.
Nice way to ride your personal hobby horse into town.
I worked on the ST and helped evaluate the NS32032/32016. We started counting clock cycles for various operations and got some bad vibes, and then we started finding out about chip bugs (definitely not pretty, and National was coy about them and just said stuff like "we're working on it"), we so decided to use the 68K.

The NS parts were really a due-diligence affair, and we looked at them just to make sure we weren't missing out on something really great (we weren't).

Definitely a prettier architecture than the 68K, with better toolchains and development support at the time. Didn't make up for the bad, though.
Australia's penal colony origins are beyond ironic anymore.
… in a foreign occupied country. Aside from snide remarks is anybody honestly trying to propose that civilians with guns is a deterrent for for anything the government wants to do? You may as well be throwing rocks.
Pelaton trainers, on average, are far superior to in-person instructors. The experience is better in-home and less time is in used travelling and changing. My equipment. My home. Die hard educated professional leading the class. The only in-person that comes close runs about $300-500 a month.

Without a unit this affirmation makes no sense.
"Where Christianity has left a moral and religious vacuum in the wake of its collapse, we are now seeing the construction of a new social and moral orthodoxy to fill this void — in short, a new religion.

It's not hard to see why: religious orthodoxy brings with it the highly intoxicating and addictive frameworks of unambiguously delineated good and evil, right and wrong, us versus them, and the equally addictive sense of moral righteousness that follows from it. In short, many people have a psychological dependence on religion; they need such a thing."[0]

Note that most countries report only basic literacy rates, not functional literacy levels.[1] The apparent poor performance of the US here is largely a function of its own investigation and reporting of of the full extent of literacy.

Note too that lack of English literacy is pronounced in regions with a high immigrant or migrant workforce and population. Illiteracy can exceed 30% amongst Texas counties bordering on Mexico in particular. It's possible that many of those testing with no English proficiency are at least somewhat literate in Spanish or other languages.

But you're mostly confirming my earlier statement: you very likely overestimate typical technological literacy.
