I'm skeptical that the government has learned the wrong lesson. What it should have learned is that rioting needs to be put down — no ifs, ands, or buts. But, apparently, rioting is okay. The state isn't interested in that, so much as it is in setting up a Big Brother infrastructure.

I say this as someone who fully recognizes that a legitimate protest will sometimes attract hotheads. A protest can get out of control. It can turn violent. And then, opportunists may decide to take advantage of the breakdown of law and order and indulge in the impulse to loot. I don't like it, but I recognize this as somewhere within the bounds, or just over the bounds, of normal. What I have a problem with is the following.

When people go home from their riot, have a bite to eat, nap, maybe watch a little TV, and then decide to go out the next night and do it again — and this happens day after day, with the government doing nothing to restore law and order — that is not normal. That's a broken government.

Government's first job is maintaining law and order. That doesn't require pervasive, high tech surveillance. Maintaining law and order in the face of a days-long insurrection is a solved problem.

Our government is broken. This "shadowy surveillance" is not an accident, or an honest mistake.

I think less people are missing that than those arguing against an NFZ think. I think the real debate is between people that think that Russia is going to stop (either because of limited goals or capacity) once they have sufficiently beaten Ukraine (and maybe Georgia and Moldova) without intervention, and thus think the choice is between shooting down Russian planes over Ukraine and not fighting Russia at all, and those who look at Putin’s rhetoric and think that unless internal Russian political collapse prevents it, Putin isn't going to stop there and the choice is beating Russia back now over Ukraine or later on land somewhere like the Baltics.

Even if it's one in ten thousand, the system still needs to be resilient to being exploited to malicious actors. Many cases of mental issues are caused by genetic factors and chance, not environment, to address your argument specifically.

And of course there's plenty of incentive to ruin things for others: having a monopoly on something is the best way to profit, and destroying competition helps a lot.

> Furthermore, let's remember that the felon in question died because he was an uncooperative, aggressive criminal under the influence of drugs - not, truly, for any of the reasons the rioters purported to be rioting against.

George Floyd died because he was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter. The Police Chief testified that Chauvin's actions violated the police department's polices on de-escalation and reasonable use of force. "There is an initial reasonableness in trying to get him under control in the first few seconds, but once there was no longer any resistance, and clearly when Mr. Floyd was no longer responsive and even motionless, to continue to apply that level of force to a person proned out, handcuffed behind their back – that in no way, shape or form is anything that is by policy, is not part of our training and is certainly not part of our ethics or our values."

That's why the person in question died.

Worse, from the perspective of many, the other officers on the scene did not stop officer Chauvin.

Those are, in my opinion, pretty good reasons to protest.

Just out of curiosity, do you get that police confrontations in other Western countries are not as violent, not as deadly?

Are you aware that police are required to receive far more training in many other Western countries?

Is it possible, in your mind, that those two things are related?

And while we're talking about how the police are being violent, maybe we should look to see if they are violent as home? [1]

I think if we're honest, you would admit that you do not always follow the law. And if you care to admit some of your crimes, we can look up the statistics to see if people of color are more likely to be harassed by the police, arrested, and convicted of those crimes, even if they commit them at the same rate, or lower rate.

You would need to be far more exact in your terminology and claims to have this be a topic worthy of anything but my utter scorn. The law should offer equal protection to people. If you want to try to explain yourself more, with some nuance, I'm here.

How do you define "compatible"? Semver doesn't define it.

An HTTP server can remain API compatible, and still drop or break support for a major feature you care about. Surely you don't want that to ship in a patch release.

Adding a new struct field, even a private one, can break API compatibility in Go if people use your struct without named fields. Do you want a new library in this case or not?

Semver doesn't cover CLI compatibility, either, do you want a CLI redesign to remain v1 or become v2?

Nuance matters. Stating to "just be strict about semantic versioning" doesn't help, semver is fuzzy.

No, storing encrypted secrets in repositories is an incredibly common and safe practice in DevOps/GitOps environments. Virtually every orchestration tool has some way to support it.

E.g. k8s sealed secrets https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets

E.g. Salt's GPG filters https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/ref/renderers/all/salt...

E.g. Puppet hiera-yaml https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6/securing-sensitive-data.htm...

PD/PII is a completely separate issue. First because even encrypting doesn't remove legal obligations concerning processing, and second because your DS/BI teams probably need access to the unencrypted data to like, do their actual jobs. You need completely orthogonal forms of access control for that (like SSO as you alude to).
The same think happens with this font, as with some many others. It's absolutely beautiful, it looks like it was just designed for coding. Then I see actual code written with the font and goes: "Well, that was disappointing".

Don't get me wrong, it beautiful, easy to read and the price is right (in my opinion), but when you see the Python, even at 17pt, it seems squished. The characters just blurs together. This font either requires insane amounts of whitespace around it, or a high font size, I'm guessing no less than 20pt. Maybe it's just the line height that makes it weird, the characters seems like they need to be wider to avoid losing details.
The journalist, Isaac Chotiner, thinks he's a lot smarter and in better command of history than John Mearsheimer. That's really annoying.
So the Go project used a lazy solution to a hard problem (packages are git repositories without even a ref as version) instead of, say, having an actual versioning scheme, therefore you get to implement this by hand using nonsense logic.

> Remember, the protein-folding software works by analogy to known structures, which for the bulk of proteins can take you quite far (with ingenious software and lots of processing power). But they will not create new protein folds ex nihilo.

This is only true if you take AlphaFold or RosettaFold into consideration. However, there are protein design software suites (including Rosetta, which is part of RosettaFold) able to generate de novo protein folds not found in natural proteins[1]. Furthermore, many of those models have been demonstrated, using experimental methods, to adopt the desired structure in solution.

Both of my Grandmothers died of this terrible disease (My mom's mom and my Dad's mom, obviously no relation). One died well before I was born and the other when I was only 8. It takes away your ability to communicate pretty early on, as you slowly lose access to your muscles, all while your brain remains active. The inability for one to help themselves really makes this just horrible.

I often worry about the genetic implications of this. If the disease has any genetic predisposition, then I would certainly be out of luck. My mother and father are both well, approaching 60, but they would only have half of the genetic concern I do.

We just don't know. The disease remains a serious mystery to us.

I hope that in my lifetime, we are able to understand more about the disease, what causes it, and hopefully find a cure.

"In this setting, there are no page breaks, images adjust to your screen size"

I created a doc just now with three different pieces of content:

1. Text - stayed within the text margins, as expected

2. Table with lots of columns - used the full window (i.e. ignored text margin)

3. Wide image - stayed to the right of the left margin (i.e. ignored only the right text margin)

So the image only used 60% of the browser width.
There are two types of homeless: (a) there are the temporarily homeless, who have lost their homes due to unaffordability (lost job, unforseen expenses, etc), may be fleeing domestic abuse (#1 reason for women with children), or some other temporary condition that prevents them from acquiring or maintaining housing; and (b) there are the permanently homeless, who have lost their jobs due to mental disease and/or drug use. (Note that the use of mind-altering substances causes physiological changes to the brain, so drug use frequently leads to mental disease.) Most of the (b) group chooses (to the extent they are able to exercise choice) to remain unhoused, because shelters and housing forbid narcotics, alcohol, and other contraband.

Right now, we operate under the ridiculous presumption that members of the (b) group are capable of acting rationally and in their own best interests. This is objectively false, but since this is the presumption we are forced to pretend is true, we can't force them to into treatment, however bad they may need it, unless they are at risk of inflicting imminent physical harm to themselves or others (but in this context, physical harm doesn't mean any harm typically arising from drug use...)

The proposal lets us force the members of the (b) group into treatment/rehab, however much they may refuse. And this is important, because people who are mentally ill will refuse treatment, until they get treated, at which point they recognize why they need to be treated, and will generally choose* to remain under treatment and to accept housing.
> Then just use 0.y.z versions and be done with it?

On a side note, I am happy to see that all this hubub over self driving has resulted in some really sexy hardware designs.

Trailer trash or not, sometimes it takes the kid to point out the nudity of the emperor. This hick from Indiana would take Atwood's side of the bet against any that care to pony up the money for the other side. The only thing about this that surprises me is that this post isn't from, like, five years ago. But Carmack took this bet within the past week? I just don't think we have the evidence to suggest this is realistic, and plenty to suggest that it's a long way off. We do seem to have the evidence that if it happens, it probably won't be Tesla doing it.

EDIT: ah, perhaps Carmack knows better and is simply willing to write off $10K for the lulz (from the TFA): I'd like to thank John for suggesting this friendly wager as a fun way to generate STEM publicity.
I'm not sure I understand your point. BLM protests are legal while storming the Capitol is not. You'd hope the police would go after breaches of the law and not innocent people.

It's not a binary thing. I would say something is a boundary if it requires an additional vulnerability to bypass. Containers these days fit that model. The nuance is how strong of a boundary it is.

Containers rely on the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is shit, in terms of security, for a number of reasons. So all one requires is to own the kernel, and there are a lot of ways to do that. Containers block some system calls and can lower attack surface to a degree, which is great - I think it's a huge win that containers are so popular and, finally, some degree of isolation is widespread.

We'll be stuck in retroactive security mode until developers care to change that, especially ones with influence like kernel maintainers.

> My point is that if it were designed from the ground up with the hard security boundary in mind, would we have ended up with containers in the first place?

Absolutely not. We'd have ended up with something like Firecracker or GVisor. The issues with containers are fundamental to the concept of having a shared Linux kernel, which is basically what makes a container a container.

> If not, is there any realistic way to go from where we are to where we should be?

Use Firecracker or GVisor.

> Those have the downside of actually needing to run a VM though

I think at this point VMs are not that big of a deal. It's clearly good enough for the vast majority of people who are running on the cloud.

> don't allow nested virtualization so you're stuck running on an enormous bare metal box.

This part is a bummer.

The other option though is to just not care if your OS gets owned. Split your services up, move capabilities across other boundaries like mTLS.
So You Are Saying
Thanks, that's what I thought it was _trying_ to say, but I'm not sure that's what it actually _does_ say.

You might look at the jetbrains individual license for some language that I think is more clear and objective: A personal license must be paid for by a single named individual, not paid or reimbursed by a company, and is not re-assignable, while the organizational license is more a "floating seat" that can be paid by a company and assigned to individual employees as needed. That helps sidestep the mess of trying to define what is "professional but not commercial."

Also, under a subscription model I'd want some assurance that previously created print materials receive a perpetual license even if I didn't renew and that I wouldn't have to try to excise it from everywhere I've used it in the past if the license ever lapsed.
If you really, really want to manage PII in a private git repo, you can probably do it - in approximately the same that you can probably make API-first web services in FORTRAN if you really, really want to. The fact remains that your choice of tooling hurts you.

Putting PII into Github (even if the repo is private) is catastrophic. You just made Github into a third-party data processor by accident. Good luck explaining that from a CCPA/GDPR perspective.

> I suppose it just needs to do approximately as well as a human.

I think that's a fallacy. We allow humans to injure and kill each other in "accidents" with limited liability because we are human; I can't be expected to 100% reliably decide in a fraction of a second what to do when a car cuts me off, so if I hit it, or avoid it and hit another vehicle or pedestrian, I don't go to jail.

But a computer can be expected to make that decision fast enough; if it can't, it's because the designers or programmers made errors that the manufacturer missed because they rationally calculated they were not worth catching or fixing.

There's some level of safe driving it's unreasonable to expect from self-driving cars – but it's not the same level as humans.
I'm with you on that argument and believe that Jeff will walk away as the winner of the bet.

Looking at a busy street makes me almost certain, that true self driving cars will be too expensive to develop.

However, if we accept random deaths caused by autonomous vehicles, there is a chance.

But everyone wants guarantees that cannot be given.

Here's the AAA article in question [1]

Notice, that these are all 2018 or older models. Why does that matter? Because battery capacity has increased and newer models have heatpump heaters (which are roughly 4x more efficient).

This is the primary difference in range in the opening info-graphic on the page. Why for lower temps some cars only lost 10% of their range while others lost 40%.

But further, WHY is 40% range loss "totally unacceptable"? What is acceptable? How do you deal with range loss of ICE from overly hot weather?

[1] http://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/AAA-Electric-Vehicle...
AFAIK, the car development pipeline is 5 years from initial concepts and designs to actually selling it.

For me, that means there are only three years left to have something like that on a prototype level.
Free market will work in a post-scarcity society, sure.
I wonder if the root zone needs the warmth too, or if its just the aerial parts of the plant that needs the warmth for optimal growth.

Maybe plastic with holes for each stem could be used to insulate the aerial airspace from the root airspace and then a small heatpump could make that 10F differential with relatively low power cost.

The machines (or later derivatives) is in the science museum.

You're confusing capabilities systems. Linux capabilities are not "capabilities", they're a misnomer. They're just groupings of privileges.

Here is what capabilities are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security

I don't think what you're advocating for makes a ton of sense tbh. You're basically saying "just make it impossible to privesc", which, yeah, that would be nice... but it's not like you can just do that.

I think your point is more that least privilege should be more common - that way exploits have less impact. I agree. That said, Linux Capabilities are extremely coarse, and most container escapes involve owning the Kernel, which from a real Capabilities model would be the trusted broker of capabilities to begin with.
GitHub Contribution as a Video
The "one" in the article means one person doing all the work. Not a big org providing SAAS or such like MS/Google.
