Your argument is assuming that property rights are as important and as fundamental as other human rights. I personally am quite comfortable distinguishing between "what a person can own" and "what a person can be", and don't view property rights as anywhere near as fundamental as rights like freedom of speech or association or movement.

So I think the notion of a slippery slope towards eugenics is absurd; that's like saying that dancing leads to lynching because both involve crowds of people and tend to happen at night. That's not to say that there isn't a slope towards, say, absolute communism or radically unfair property seizure, but that's way less scary.

You may want to think of your opinion to be an objective truth, but it isn't. Your explanation that muslim children don't respect female teachers is complete bs, in my opinion. The truth is that most muslim women in Germany, especially the Turkish ones, don't even wear a headscarf.

In Germany, I almost never hear "Multikulti" except from extreme right-wing people, and those who share racist opinions, but don't consider themselves Racist. (It's "The Truth", how can it be racism?)

There is a well documented effect in that the teacher's expectations are reflected both in subjective grades and objective performance.

Another confusing factor is that most Turkish "immigrant" children are anything but immigrants. Their parents or grandparents immigrated to Germany decades ago and helped build the country. But they were low-skilled laborers. And their children suffer from the same adverse selection problem as German "underclass" children do.

It's just so much easier to pin this complex problem on a mysterious genetic factor that makes Turks dumber.
Good question.

> People who have wealth are going to be better with that wealth than people who don't.

Do you have any empirical data to back that up? The lack of old money that Gates alludes to in his article seems to suggest otherwise.

Even with the advantages that simply having large amounts of wealth gives you (better education, easier access to seed capital for new ventures, better access to other influential people etc), surprisingly few of the modern day mega rich in the US started out with large amounts of wealth.

There's also plenty of evidence (such as http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-07-22/for-ceos-cor...) to suggest there's little, if any, correlation between how much a CEO earns and the success of a company.

> The average person isn't as well equipped to deal with large problems as the elite are.

I would agree that not everyone is equally well equipped to deal with large problems, but I don't see much evidence to suggest that there's much correlation between wealth and ability to successfully tackle the myriad problems facing the average society. Is a multi-millionaire businessman automatically better placed to decide on education policy than a teaching professional, or on the structure of a nations health service than medical professionals etc?

Somehow the purported negative attitudes of Turks against women is considered more significant than the negative attitudes of the majority Germans against the minority Turks.

Black people in America are Americans, not Africans. They're not 'Africans who came to America'. They're Americans. Their parents were Americans, as were their parents' parents, for a few generations back. At this point, they're no more African than the white people of America are. It's a pointless comparison.
This actually sounds like a great way to help integrate folks into the German culture. As more and more disruptive children are relegated, and more parents ask, "Why?" receiving the answer, "You don't respect women," perhaps behaviors will slowly change.

I wonder what other ways would work better?
Yes, thanks, we know. One could even say this is the core reason for many of the USA's other problems: the continuing financial crisis, for-profit medical system, huge rates of incarceration, justice system inequalities based on money, ever-widening income disparity, obscenely massive government spending, I could go on.

The only solution is to have the legislators pass a law to stop it. Because they are huge beneficiaries of the current corruption, that is unlikely to happen and the American government and economy will continue to erode.

Not sure how to fix this. Open to suggestions.

> The definition of a retina display is you can't discern individual pixels at normal viewing distances, so unless you're sitting with your nose against the screen or are using a loupe, you won't be able to see a single dead pixel.

Your conclusion does not follow from your premise.

Just because we can't identify individual pixels does not mean a single pixel has no influence. It shapes the overall picture.

If a single dead pixel is not visible at all, why have that pixel there in the first place -- working or not?

I just tested with my iPhone 6 (a 1334x750 px white picture with a single black pixel in the middle of the picture), and the single black pixel is definitely visible. A screenshot of the iPhone showing the picture in question confirms it's a single pixel on the screen.

Wal-Mart, at least, and the mail order units of the Medicare Part D drug plans I've been using for a while tell you who makes the drug. Part of their helping you double check that the dispensed the right one, they also mention the markings on the pills.

Note that the Indian firm Sun bought most of Ranbaxy, given the brand damage to the latter I have to wonder about the 1-2 Sun generics I'm taking right now.

My doctor was certainly happy when I reported, after those two drugs recently went generic, that to my observation the generics had about the same effects.

So the impression that I'm getting is that some people just want Jessie to be released, even if some packages only run correctly under systemd; others wish for debian to enforce "every package must run correctly under every init system" (excluding things like init-system management tools, which are clearly tied to their system).

I wonder, how much difference does it make either way? What packages which only support systemd are we actually talking about, and how much work would it be to untie them?

This still doesn't say what you are doing. You update the base image, which is presumably something every Docker user does, then you "deploy the app".

What are you deploying? How much heavy lifting is your dockerfile doing? How much of the environment do you have to setup manually? How do you supply the app its static and dynamic data? How do you make the app accessible to users? How are you handling availability if your app crashes? Is the app distributed or load balanced in any way?
What exactly is the problem that you're facing?
But then you have many more docker images for different kinds of services that you all have to rebuild, no? Or do you just have one docker image?

I don't follow this closely, unless I'm on a maintenance drug supplied by one of these companies, but as I remember Teva has at least an "OK" reputation. At the top at least they don't have the myriad pathologies that are endemic in Indian companies.

For more, read the article: from the very top down Ranbaxy was a totally fraudulent operation, and any similarity between what they claimed to be manufacturing and what they actually delivered was fairly accidental.
At Lime Technology, we have integrated docker into our NAS offering along with virtual machines (KVM and Xen).

Yes indeed, it should.
Phones and tablets just run all windows full screen, each on their own workspace. A few let you split the screen in half and run one app each. Sounds like a tiling window manager to me.

A few apps -- on Android anyway -- have a floating mode, where they occupy some space over other apps, always on top. This is another thing tiling window managers do.

In some ways it's heartening to see Rust working everything out for itself - but it's also painful to watch the language stumble on the same problems that we've already solved.

You're going to hit the same problem again with async, with transactions, and with resource management; indeed some of the stuff I've already seen about borrowing and the like seems achingly close to the same pattern. Introducing new sigils like ? for each use case is not going to be sustainable.

The nice way to solve this is higher kinded types, monads, and some kind of concise notation for composing them (e.g. Haskell's do or Scala's for/yield). Then you can do something like (Scala):

def read_value(host, port) = for{
sock ← TcpStream::connect(host, port)
parser = Parser::new(&mut sock as &mut Reader)
r ← parser.parse_value()
} yield r

and this is generic and extensible; you avoid blowing your syntax budget because the ← syntax is reusable for any "context" that behaves in the same way (which turns out to be most of them), and also for user-defined types. There's no need for macros or magic method names (If you want the FromError functionality you can use a typeclass). Everything's implemented with ordinary types and objects behaving in the ordinary way.

Of course none of this is perfect - in Scala the ← syntax is "magic", implemented in the parser, and so the method names it invokes (map/flatMap) are also magic, and different languages have to fight over the best implementation for them. In Haskell the compiler knows about the Monad typeclass specifically, and the do notation is linked to that; if you were to write your own implementation of Monad, you wouldn't be able to use the syntax. There's plenty of room for innovation here, and I hope Rust eventually comes up with something better than either of those approaches. But an ad-hoc ? operator that calls a macro that calls a specially named method really isn't the way forward. I'm sure Rust can come up with something more generic and principled than this.
I used Docker to solve a somewhat unconventional problem for a client last week. They have a Rails application that needs to be deployed in two vastly different situations:

* a Windows server, disconnected from the internet

* about 10 laptops, intermittently connected to the internet

Docker let us build the application once and deploy it in both scenarios with much less pain than the current situation, which basically consists of script to git-pull and over-the-phone instructions when dependencies like ruby or imagemagick need to be upgraded.

We run VirtualBox with a stock Ubuntu 14.04 image with docker installed from the docker-hosted deb repo. We use the Phusion passenger Ruby image[1], which bundles almost every dependency we needed along with a useful init system so we can run things like cron inside a single container along with the application. This makes container management trivial to do with simple scripts launched by non-technical end users.

Probably some fun super-resolution (basically, frame stacking with stats!) work. It would trade away some time resolution for spatial resolution, but that could be what they needed.
Well and it doesn't help that in the Win7-Win8 timeframe, Microsoft was pushing 1366x768 as THE resolution that machines should be using.

Walk through any best buy and that res will far and away be most common.

It's not irrelevant to me ... I've been a fan of NASA since I was little and clearly remember watching Apollo 11 in awe. I also remember wondering why the Russians could land people on the ground be we had to have a (dangerous) splash down. I guess what I'm saying is that "I'll cheer for all the participants" (and you left out India) but watching the U.S. legislature decimate NASA's funding in combination with NASA's lack of "big feature" projects leaves me wondering about their future.

As an aside, I used to have an E.P. with Kennedy's "New Ocean" speech on one side and key communications between Houston and the spacecraft on the other side as well as a set of cool charts showing the entire flight's trajectory.
We might want different interfaces for different devices, but it's still preferable to have a uniform API across these devices at the level of display server.

In practice though, aprentices are often seen as cheap labour and are not at all trained well, if the madter to the aprentice lacks time or is a drunkard or what have you.

Especially in the simpler of proffesions, I fail to grasp the difference to the british system. Surely you need and will receive training of some form as well if you start a job. Do the school hours make the difference here? I am not convinved, given a butcher with already 10 years of school experience will be taught and tested for cheap stuff like percentage calculation. OTH you can become sysadmin apprentice and won't need a uni-degree, which is nice i suppose, as you get certified to know the essentials.

A friend of mine pointed out that the way US politicians have to campaign, they're always in need of donations for funding for electoral reasons. Even if you're not particularly prone to corruption, there's the problem that the only people you have time to give your ear to are the people who are going to give you money. It's a simplified view, but it does illustrate one problem with the way the US elects its officials.

It's (probably) an unstable video, so you take the data from each frame for some large fraction of a second and you can create an image that's somewhere between the total number of available pixels in all the frames and the number in a single frame.

Note: While the spacecraft itself is moving at incredible speeds, the maneuvers themselves are slow enough that several (to many with a high speed camera) images can be combined.
