I suspect that they thought this was a clever way of allowing tenant applications to host their own configuration somewhere which the application would fetch and use. It's a whitelabelled application by the sounds of it. Pretty shocking but I can't think of any other line of reasoning.
> census exists to inform policy

Race is a social construct. The census strengthens that construct. OP’s argument is that race should be a weaker construct, which is a legitimate if debatable argument.
I don't necessarily see a problem with it. What it says is "this thing has to follow the law", because such censorship laws already exist across the EU, for better or for worse.

It depends on how this is structured though, this might just as well be an attempt by the entertainment industry to extend their reach in blocking torrent sites. Perhaps that take is a little cynical, but I wouldn't be surprised.

We'll have to see how this develops to be sure. I, for one, welcome a public European DNS resolver, because it allows the resolver to just focus on being a good resolver without relying on some kind of (usually shady) business model.

I bought an Oculus a couple of years ago out of curiosity and because I wanted to support the technology. My disappointment is that it essentially a gaming platform. I've never been attracted to games, not IRL, not in early PC's and now not in VR. There are 360 degree videos on YouTube, but accessing them is awkward and they aren't that good. The screen door effect and view not extending to the periphery detracts from the experience. But once in awhile, when "immersion" hits you like a drug, it's amazing. I think it's still too early unless you are a gamer. ymmv of course.

Scientific American avoids, she explained, “running direct rebuttals of earlier articles. This is a standard practice in most magazines to avoid being too self-referential, and so each article stands on its own.”

why in the world would you give general advice on "Indian" naming?

I'm not. I'm reiterating what has been told to me by close to a dozen Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni indians.

Why would some random archaeologist decide for a large group of people what they should be called, when they call themselves something else?

I happen to have the January 6, 2020 edition of The Navajo Times on my desk. Just skimming the headlines (because I haven't read it yet), I see the following:

"Phoenix Indian Center," "Gallup Indian Medical Center," "Indian Health Service," "Santa Fe Indian."

The Four Corners region of the United States is called "Indian Country" by the indians who live there.

What give you the right to tell people what they can call themselves?

> The browser could be told not to render anything is the signature does not match the content.

The problem with this statement is that adblockers are part of "The browser". So the browser/the adblocker coud still choose to render something with no signature.
Also, what does "rendering" mean? An adblocker changes what "rendering" means:
For example, if the html includes the line
<img src="https://www.qries.com/images/banner_logo.png" alt="Qries" width="200" height="90">
then the browser will usually request banner_logo.png and show that here. But the browser could also choose not to do that. If qries.com would be in the blocklist of your adblocker, your browser would choose not to send that request and not to show that image.
It's ok. We are open to every comment on our tool. We want to see what should develop in BOWWE to make it even better.

The first difference I see, we don't just focus on a website/landing page builder. In BOWWE you can also create a Micro Page, Portfolio or CV.
We focus on delivering a solution that will enable every user to make his brand stand out. We don't want our clients’ website to just look pretty, we want it to be effective.

In BOWWE, you can create any website from scratch. You can also build from predefined sections or Raw templates - so it's super fast to make it, and if you define your UI KIT in BOWWE, sections and all of the elements will adjust automatically to your branding. Every way of building in BOWWE allows you to develop a complete website with great SEO. Every project is also automatically responsive.

We have over 200+ templates and more than 570+ ready-made widgets, sections and blocks. You can create even more advanced elements with BOWWE widgets, and with the "Embed code" widget, you are almost not limited (BOWWE cannot be limited - it has to be a real builder, not a limited configurator).

All of the above - that's why building BOWWE took 7.5 years for our team (currently 34 people), not ~ 2 years like other builders/configurators. That's why we have a completely different foundation (solid) and, for example, we can have a Web and Mobile App Builder without changing anything in BOWWE
We build an environment for business and personal development on the Internet, such applications as CRM, eCommerce, booking engines, and many others.

Additionally, you also get access to Honaro (Honaro is an international business social network that connects consumers, employees and companies) applications that allow you to grow your business even better.

Generating the code according to the rules of programming - many builders went the easy way path, and adding elements is done using position absolute, which ultimately obstructs the relationship between different page elements and thus kills its positioning! Believe me, it is much easier to build such a builder, and it seems that everything is as it should be ... At BOWWE, you create the code like a software developer.
Yeah I feel the same way. They work quite well but the interface is as typically terrible as you would expect from Git.
This is ridiculous, you're not discussing this in good faith.

Without any actual expertise in this area you reject out of hand the results of an actual scientific study looking at hospital admissions across the entire country and instead prioritise that of a single GP, just because it aligns closer to what you want to be true. You're also selectively quoting her words, as she never said that the severity matched that of a 'mild cold', as well as leaving out that she only saw a relatively small number of patients, who were young, and none that were hospitalised.

Nor are the results in one place automatically transferable to another, given differences in population density, recency of infections & vaccinations, movement, and other factors. We're already seeing that difference, where the US, UK, and EU are seeing much higher hospitalisation rates, older patients, and a longer wave duration with Omicron than South Africa did. So even if it is milder than Delta, hospitals are still being overwhelmed.

Everyone wants a way out of this as soon as possible. But wishful thinking isn't a useful strategy against a virus.

I used it like a public site, using a very popular password. Same as in other sites where people share the same account between multiple people.

I don't really mind that they got breached. I hope they recover easily and continue to offer their service.

And I will not change that password, unless I am denied access. Don't really care if people know it.
Notably the article says "The DGCA is investigating the matter and said that it would take the strictest action against those responsible for the incident."

This sounds like regular Indian culture and the statement may be there just for the ears of the general public. But applied to aviation, "taking the strictest action against those responsible" is basically the opposite of Just Culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_culture).

You can think of simplicity in various ways - some subset of which are valid. For example, you could say that using std::unique_ptr is simpler than manual memory management, because it automates much of the process, making it less likely that a developer will make a mistake. Or you could say that the 1000s of lines of C++ std code that you will pull in represents an increase of complexity, because the mechanics are hidden under layers of abstraction.

I'm open to both views, and most importantly to trade-off one against the other according to other constraints and context. For me, using C++ allows me to do that, because it's (mostly) a superset of C. Acknowledging, of course, that this brings a trade-off of its own, because decisions must continually made (and enforced) about what std/external libraries to use and when.
It's not a claim but a rhetorical question, hence the question mark...
> as made apparent by how many companies have yet to migrate to git from e.g., Perforce and SVN.

What is the best practice when developing such a SaaS?

Find someone willing to pay for it before it is built because that means you are solving a problem someone is willing to pay for. Finding a real problem to solve is often harder than imagining a problem to solve.

Paying customers is the important problem. Security only matters once that is the case.

Good luck.
It's funny how every time free market tries to do something new which people consider useful enough to pay money for, somebody will scream for regulators to save us from it. Usually somebody that didn't build a scrap of honest value in their life.

Sure, you're going to say it's a problem of coordination. How about I give you another problem of coordination instead. In this world there are a lot of pretty complicated things, built by smart and learned people. Problem is, there is a supermajority of less smart and/or less learned people that sometimes get to decide what other people can or cannot do.

Usually, we can see that societies that let people mind their own business are a lot richer, happier, more civilized and more ethical than societies which tell people what they can do with their time, work and money. But there is still a problem of coordination that a majority of people still haven't internalized this meta-rule, so democracies tend to meddle a lot more than they should. But such is life.

>Stateless UI is annoying at best...

Agreed. I've been using Bitwarden for ages now and this drives me insane.

If you open the popup menu and need to copy/paste/refer to more than one piece of info from it [because autofill doesn't always work or for example, you need more info to login than just username & password] you have to go back each time and re-open the menu, then the sub-menu [if you have more than one account info saved for a domain], to re-find the saved info and copy the next item.

It's made doubly annoying by the fact that there's a button to open the popup in its own mini-window, which allows you to go back and forward to that window, copy/pasting all the 'stuff' you need. However, when you click this button, the new window which opens doesn't retain whatever was in it in its popup version. So you still have to drill down through menus to find the appropriate info again.

I reported this as a bug several years ago on their Github and got a ridiculous reply from the developers, saying that behaviour was deliberate and wouldn't be changed. Apparently they couldn't envisage a situation whereby a user converting the popup menu into a separate mini window would actually want to retain the info therein, rather than having to search it out again.

When faced with total pig-headedness like that from developers, my natural support for their open source efforts evaporates pretty quickly.

The search function is also piss-poor. I've got several Gmail accounts and quite often a site will allow me to login using my Google account. Obviously that won't show up in Bitwarden's popup, as I'm not on a Google domain. So I type 'gmail' into the searchbox and it returns every single one of the 100s of websites where I've got an '...@gmail.com' username, rather than prioritising the Gmail logins which I've actually saved titled 'Gmail <account name>'.

So yes, it's great that it's open source and free [for private use]. But the usability is pretty poor and the developers unresponsive to feedback.

Oh. And incidentally, it barely ever works properly on Android --even with all the required settings and permissions allowed. I might as well keep all my passwords in a text document on my phone. It'd be quicker than waiting in vain for Bitwarden to offer to fill in a login, then opening the app itself to copy/paste the required info and waiting the several seconds while it creaks into action, decrypting my vault.

My solution is a little heavy handed, but if a recruiter email doesn't include the company, position, and a salary range, it's spam and I mark it as such. If they send me a "just checking in after my last email," I add their domain to a rule in Fastmail. The rule sorts them into a folder and classifies them as spam. I'm not sure if Fastmail sends a spam complaint, but I hope so. Email-sending services tend to take those complaints somewhat seriously because it can torch the reputation of their IP addresses.
Absolutely. I would add to this that everyone is motivated by something different. It's important they let people have the chance to set their own motivation goals. Some people are motivated by helping others, some by solving problems, some by doing quality work. etc.

How do you regularly pull 50-200 GB? This sounds like terrible practices or implementation at work.

I've never seen docker images of that size that can't be shrunk with multistage, or docker shrink. I can see how someone could get to that size with just baking in all their models to the image itself but yuck.

Volcanic eruptions are rated on a logarithmic scale from 1 to 8. It looks like there hasn't been a formal rating assigned to Tonga yet, but it's believed to be the largest of the 21st century so far, and there was already a VEI 5 in 2011. A VEI 8 is the eruption of a super volcano like the Yellowstone caldera, so obviously it would make Tonga look like a firecracker in comparison. If you consider asteroid impacts as geological events then they can be substantially larger.

Of the roughly dozen questions, I'll try and hit a few points directly to sum up where I believe we ought to be, based on my relatively narrow understanding of US political sciences - please note that many answers to your questions will vary by country and their own democratic maturity.

While I don't agree that there was an implication of the end justifying any type of means, it seems we have already taken a utilitarian point of view. In short, the intelligence community is not allowed to circumvent the constitution and relevant laws (i.e. deprive citizens of their established rights); this is largely in part from the Fourth Amendment (unlawful search or seizure). As legal precedent is an inherently moving goalpost vis-a-vis judicial interpretation, this is a continuous battle in which citizens are aided by transparency and scrutiny of ongoing government programs.

One need not look any farther than the Snowden cases to realize that there is still a strong clinging to this ideal of public transparency, as well as the mountain of evidence that the government ought to be audited to prevent, or at least cease, illegal operations such as PRISM. Judges watch the watchmen - largely in closed-door FISA court hearings, it seems. This bothers me.

However, to think that there is zero benefit to these programs is parallel to naively thinking they are wholly good. I'm willing to wager that there are physical / kinetic and digital events that occur every week which would terrify the average citizen. Transparency is good, don't get me wrong - but there is only so much that some can stomach before feeling ill.

Stay involved in local / state / federal politics. Make noise about things you feel are unjust. Asking good questions is a good thing, but action is what makes the gears turn.
The reports don't go to your employer, at least in the US. ASRS reports[0] go right to the FAA and pilots are incentivized to submit them - it's not a get out of jail free card, but if you're contacted for enforcement/education later, it's a huge mark in your favor to be able to pull up an ASRS number (that you get when you submit) and say that you submitted one thirty minutes after the incident. I've spoken to one or two pilots who have had the FAA drop an enforcement action after providing them the number.

I think the common knowledge that most servers can't saturate a 10Gb Ethernet link is no longer true. In my experience even saturating 25Gb links is rather easy to do when using 9000 byte MTU on mid-tier server hardware.

100Gb links do take some thought and work to saturate, but that's improving at a good rate lately so I expect it'll become more common rather soon.

The main downside to 25Gb and 100Gb links still seems to be hardware pricing. At these speeds, PCIe network adapters and switches get rather expensive rather quick and will make you really evaluate if your situation really demands those speeds. 10Gb SFP+ and copper network adapters and switches are quite inexpensive now in 2022.
As a counterpoint: I had 10G networking and went back to 1G last time I reorganized. Haven’t really missed the 10G for now.

I ditched the 10G because the 10G switch was hot and noisy and had a fan, whereas my 1G equipment was silent and low power. This could be overcome by putting the switch in another room, obviously, but I haven’t missed it enough to go through the trouble yet.

> During the 2 years of the pandemic I've been working from home with gigabit Internet.

Doesn’t this make every other point in your post moot? I’m similarly limited by Gigabit internet, so the only time I benefit from 10G is transfers to/from my local NAS. I realized that I almost never lose time sitting and waiting for NAS transfers to finish, so even that was only a rare benefit.

If I was buying new equipment and building out something new, I’d pick 2.5G right now. It’s significantly faster than 1G but doesn’t come with the heat and noise that a lot (though not all) of 10G switches come with.

I’m sure I’ll go back to 10G some day, but without >1G internet and no local transfer use case, I found the extra hassle of the equipment (laptop adapters, expensive/hot/noisy switches) wasn’t really worth it for me yet.
