Good luck. I did some and found it helpful. I kind guess personally that it works by a kind of neural network rewiring. Before CBT some neurones are taking input, processing it as indicating things being crappy and directly signalling that to the older reptilian bits of the brain that deal with that, without conscious awareness. By consciously becoming aware of the things are crappy reasoning you can argue against it and rewire those networks. At least that's my theory on it.
As discussed elsewhere in the thread, rights are not at issue; social consequences are. This is about a group of people saying, "not everything you have the right to do is beneficial. When introducing something into a given conversation in a given way, for the mere sake of the performance of your right, has known negative effects on the conversation and the people in it, you're not being a free speech warrior; you're being a jerk."
Not quite. Docker is just the api. So you just have linux emulation (which is apparently some light weight api call mapping) inside a zone. So maybe ducken without the turd? ;)

The music industry broadcasts its product over the airwaves, but if you dare copy and retransmit that with or without adding ads of your own, you're in for a world of hurt.

I'm not sure what you are asking about specifically but in general it's important to remember that channels are a pretty thin abstraction around a mutex (and a buffer). There is nothing about that abstraction that would make you think it would be better for this use case than spinlocks and a lock free table, and quite a bit that would make you think it is much worse.

One of the first things people abandon when scaling golang servers is the channel abstraction and I expect the same would be true in this case.
Perhaps you don't need to dismiss his arguments outright, but you should definitely examine the claims of a known plagiarist and liar a lot more closely than someone with a relatively unblemished record.
I don't think this is true. I've certainly been in a bunch of hairy situations over the years where I had nothing fancier than ed available to me because I was in some sort of recovery mode. The single user mode that FreeBSD comes with is lacking vi if, for example, you don't have / mounted yet. Thankfully ed is in the ramdisk.

No, you can own some unicorns but not all of them or something that represents all of them. I suppose you could invest in the top 5-10 VCs but in either case you would also own a bunch of non-unicorns. It would be like saying you can buy an index of CPG companies by buying the S&P500.
>If you believe that small retail investors should be protected from themselves when it comes to early stage investing, this is a good thing.

Alternately, the small retail investor isn't getting the chance to make life changing amounts of money by putting 1k into Microsoft or Amazon.

I suspect I (and lots of other people) would have been willing to invest in Facebook when it was a 1 billion company. That would be a 270x return from now. If you bought at IPO you'd be a little more than 2x now. Alternately, if you bought at the absolute bottom it's ever been you'd be at 4x.

Certainly 2x and 4x are nice, but they don't make you wealthy in the way 270x does.

A feed reader is like a TiVo someone uses to backup shows from the cable television service they have license to use, so that they can personally watch those shows.

A content aggregation service is like someone ripping shows and then uploading them to a public website surrounded by revenue generating ads.

Personally I don't see a moral problem with either of these, since neither scenario deprives the author of their data/content. No theft has taken place. I don't believe in copyright. But I suspect you, like most people, do.

>The reason money gets drawn away from "the average person" and collects in "billionaires and large companies" is because the average person values money for what it can do for them, while billionaires and large companies value money as a scorecard.

That's the reason that people buy things from people who sell things, not the reason for the unequal distribution of wealth. There is no logical necessity in people's spent money accumulating in a small number of pockets. Clearly, given the enormous variation in the distribution of wealth through even recent history, there must be many other factors at play.
Looks like a healthy project to me, where the author cared and stayed. Not like other projects which got dumbed down by their contributors or takeovers. One is the best you can expect.

From people like Snowden and Greenwald who are willing to sacrifice their lives to get the truth out. As has always been the case. Media for the most part has been a mechanism for distributing propaganda. That business losing its profitability does not concern me one bit. As for people who want to be reporters losing jobs and not having that as a career option, well this is a systemic problem with the new economy, and that is a much deeper problem than a business model not working any more because of tech.
We have some Sun people saying that was the reason, and some of them saying that it wasn't. That sounds like an ambiguous draw to me.
Improving Diversity Hiring in Tech
Another interesting kind of lock I've seen are some masterlocks that give you a "joystick" of sorts and you make passwords by moving them in the for cardinal directs, for example your password might be up up down down left right left right. What's interesting is that A) you can set your own password and B) they claim no upper bound on the length of your password!

My first thought was "impossible!" and I tried to disprove it. I set it to a long password and tried to unlock it by, say, doing all but the last stroke assuming it was just dropping the strokes after a point. No luck. Same for dropping the first stroke. Etc. But sure this mechanical system has a small finite number of possible sufficiently distinct states and so would only be able to use small password lengths?

Of course! But it's apparently being much smarter about it than I had anticipated: sure, my long password can (presumably) be opened by a shorter password. But that shorter password is apparently unrelated to the long one. They must be taking a mechanical hash of the password!

Here's the lock: http://www.masterlock.com/personal-use/product/1500iD But I wouldn't recommend buying one. They were too bulky and got stuck in the locker at my gym and had to be cut off.
> if one does not expect to deal with UTF-8 data

This is a horrible assumption. UTF8 can show up just about anywhere. 99% of the utilities mentioned in the article support UTF8, which means they will output UTF8 if they think that's a good idea. And that can show up at any point. Exotic filenames, error messages, fancy boxing or indicative characters in the output...

Don't expect Latin-1, ever. Respect specified encodings, and default to UTF8. Never, ever think you'll be fine with Latin-1 when dealing with an UTF-8 output just because you speak english.

The trick the original article specified is a hack to get better performance in very controlled situations, it should never be put in a rc file like it recommends because it will break and you won't know that is what's causing it.

Edit: Here's a few examples of very real potential breakage, to show you how bad an idea this is: You're debugging a python script. You open a python shell and start pasting some of its lines to figure out what's happening. OOPS, there's UTF-8 in there.

[4:08:48] adys@azura ~ % python -c 'print("I like the letter Š")'
I like the letter Š
[4:08:54] adys@azura ~ % LANG=C python -c 'print("I like the letter Š")'
Unable to decode the command from the command line:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udcc5' in position 25: surrogates not allowed

(The input doesn't even have to be explicit, by the way, it could even be in your filenames).

Should I keep going? See how "awk '{print tolower($0)}'" behaves when it's dealing with utf-8 input. Maybe that awk is deeply hidden in a 5000 line script. Maybe it deals with web data, filenames, anything. And suddenly you have unicode escapes in data that doesn't expect any.

Now how's that one line in your rc file, which you wrote maybe months or years ago, working out for you? Are you going to know the issue is your LC_ALL variable?

I don't know what kind of software you write, but if your users choose things based on GitHub vs BitBucket hosting, I think you should find new users.
I couldn't agree more with your first point, but rather than recommend a local password manager, I recommend using a password algorithm of sorts. For instance, start with a password base (8 chars), a site specific "salt" (could be the domain or something simple like "email"), and a small per-site password or a pin (4 digits). With this, you can easily remember 1 password base for all your accounts, a convention for the "salt" (you don't have to remember each salt if you have a strong convention), and the only site specific info you'll need to remember is a 4 digit pin, which should be different per site. If you can remember a really small password or 4-digit pin, this method affords you all the protection you need. I use this method, but my passwords are 20-30 chars in length, because I'm paranoid.
I may be late to the party, but finally my time to shine! As has been mentioned earlier, the field gou are looking for is called stylometry, and has almost a century of history behind it, and also the field if my thesis. After looking at what everyone has been saying, I just felt like copying and pasting my 20 page literature review here, but I'd recommend you look at narayanan at all (2012) paper (internet scale authorship attribution). The algorithm it uses is not particularly complex and would take you a week, tops, to implement if you put in a few hours a day, and that's including doing all the related research and catching up with the linear algebra involved if you need to.
Good point. From my point of view, no poach agreements are entirely immoral and, as you point out, also illegal. In this case both companies clearly crossed a boundary. From what I've seen, however, the damage done in this case isn't noticeable relative to the global scale that these companies operate on.

There are other situations where each one of these companies has been sued and lost (Microsoft was an illegal monopoly once.)

I would argue that occasional missteps are not grounds for calling something evil. Most people, for example, would admit to having made immoral mistakes in the past and I've met very few evil people.
I've had issues with these samsung 8xx drives, unfortunately they all happened at once. I gave up on their RMA/warranty process because I was bounced back and forth between the same two numbers a few times. Either side said that the other was in charge of this process(samsung bought the SSD division from seagate... or was it seagate that bought the HDD division from Samsung? To this day I have no clue.).
It looks like your pricing starts at $49 / month. Do you offer on demand, or cost per task, similar to what amazon lamdba offers? I have some tasks that I'd love to try iron worker for, but $49 / mo for a side project is more than I'm willing to spend.

So you don't think there's any possible way that displaying the symbol of a group known for murdering black people and black rights activists, on the site of a protest for black rights, could legitimately be construed as a threat of violence.

Okay.
> There is a lot of development in the ecosystem dominated by Freedesktop.org, Gnome and (to some degree) large commercial players like RedHat and SUSE.

Yeah, i've been thinking the same recently.

The current development above the kernel seems to either be from the desktop down, or from the point of view of managing 1000s of headless instances in a "container" farm.

This with a side-order of Windows-isms demanded from corporate/government clients looking for a way to get away from MS while retaining their centrally controlled fine grained access control.
There's certainly an ongoing trend of aggression against individuals whom are blamed for the actions of groups which they were born into.
You're not breaking anything on a technical level with that. Be wary of anything that deals with string or character comparison however (including regexes).

I trust them that they wouldn't be actively spying on their customers, because that's a good way to kill your company. I don't trust them they tried their utmost to secure our computers (we'd be running Singularity/Midori/Verve otherwise), because they are likely being coerced to comply with various orders and regulations.

an example of a newspaper that has good online classifieds is KSL, in Salt Lake. Their classifieds are frequently of higher quality than craigslist posts.
The KKK hates everyone who isn't exactly like them, but they were specifically created to suppress (i.e. terrorize and murder) African-Americans trying to exercise equal rights, and that still appears to be their #1 concern. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to see KKK symbols as symbolizing violence and repression specifically against African-Americans and their allies.

> Especially if you are trying to do anything with significant technical challenges like with computer vision, deep learning, VR etc...

My view is that those are not very promising
"technical" directions, exploitations, or
"challenges".

My view: Take in data, manipulate it,
put out results of the manipulations.
Want the results to be valuable in some
important sense. For that value, want
more powerful manipulations.

Well, any such manipulations are necessarily
mathematically something, understood or
not, powerful or not. For more powerful
manipulations, proceed mathematically,
i.e., exploiting powerful classic results
and, maybe, doing some new derivations,
right, complete with theorems and proofs.

This work needs a background in
pure and applied math, but given
that background the derivations
require just ideas, paper, pencil,
and, hopefully, access to
a computer with D. Knuth's TeX
for writing up the results.
Not really expensive.

My view is that it is much better to
exploit relatively classic pure and
applied math than anything pursued
in computer science.

Won't find a lot of traffic going
that direction.
I'd also add that until the public validation of an IPO and some time trading on the markets, tech companies have just become investment "tokens" that hold arbitrary amounts of wealth as "valuations" that make no meaningful sense. M&A efforts are simply capturing this fanciful valuation and hoping they can sell this token off in some way for more to somebody else.

It's like putting $1 in a sock and under your mattress, claim it's worth $1million and never letting up on that claim by trying to sell your "money sock 1.0" on the open market. You might even be able to get somebody to buy your "million dollar" sock and they'll go and claim to everybody that it's worth this ridiculous amount (or even more ridiculous they'll trade you their "million dollar" hat for your sock so you can both claim private market validation). Then if the hype lives long enough, they can then sell it for $1.2million to another private buyer, or tear it up and sell it off in threads for even more "buy a genuine thread from the million dollar sock! only $1,000!".

It's almost completely divorced from reality.

Frankly, we ended up with the cure AND the disease. Special purpose entities were used by Enron to muddy up its accounting so nobody could tell that it was doing stupid deals to hit its quarterly numbers and wasn't really making any money, and then they were used again during the real estate bubble on an even wider scale to mask the risks of the mortgage origination machine (with convenient help from the bone-headedness of the ratings agencies). So the "cure" really didn't seem to help the disease very much.

Instead of dumping a bunch of new reporting requirements on everybody, it should be pretty simple: increase the amount of equity capital that needs to be held against debt (i.e. force a decrease in leverage) and change the accounting rules so shit that could blow up the company by some mechanism has to show up on the balance sheet. However, the current system creates a lot more work for lawyers, accountants and bureaucrats so it seems unlikely to be simplified anytime soon.
That is the crazy part, systemd at its core is a reaction to sysv (and upstart).

In part part the reaction is to the boilerplate nature of sysv scripts, as they bring all their logic with them.

Have you tried transposition of motions in a short combination? In particular, have you tried swapping the first direction with every direction in the short combination? Have you tried a combination consisting entirely of the same direction, and shortening or lengthening that?

Because one possible (bad) implementation would be an MxN grid with a specific point as the unlock coordinate. A slightly less bad implementation that doesn't permit trivial transpositions would be such a grid plus a long internal pad that modifies the direction (realdir[i] = userdir[i] + lockspecificdata[i%LEN]%4).
I agree, the way American government is now, I don't think there is much hope for the legalization of prediction markets. But new governments are formed from time to time and there are quite a few nations in the world so hopefully someone else legalizes them.
