"Defected to Finland" means walked in to the Beijing Embassy of Finland, I guess.

I've been to the China/North Korea border for a few days, and it was scary. But honestly, in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanji area just inside of China, I ate the best bibbimbap I've ever had, and for only 5元! "Immature fern fronds baby! Shakin' that 'bap..." Far better than Seoul.

To riff on the same theme, IIRC early North Korean defectors complained about South Korean food lacking buckwheat noodles. That has since been rectified.

Eh! I'm a bit more jaded. I've been fed the line "you have awesome background and we wish we could take advantage of it, but your experience with the skills we're looking for is a little too long ago" before.

Translation: "too old" | "too expensive for us"
You seem to assume that every school gives an equally good education and accommodates all students' individual strengths and difficulties perfectly.
In some parts of the world, like the US, better school districts are correlated to areas with higher property tax revenue.

I'm going to wait for trusted experts to look at the data, before I assume this is true. However if the data holds up then I'm not sure what the West can do, only China seems to have the ability to influence NK right now (as we've already sanctioned them about as much as we can).

PS - The reason my initial reaction is skeptical is not that this type of thing cannot happen (as we witnessed during WWII). It is that other defectors have defected from NK before and told the West exactly what we wanted to hear so they'd receive preferential treatment, these claims get splashed all over the headlines, then it turns out further down the road these people's accounts might not be true (and the corrections are on page 5 in a one paragraph story). But raw data is very compelling proof, hard to fake, so as soon as it has been verified I'll buy it.
Well said, and it explains part of what I meant when I wrote "(if peer review is of any value)" in the post. The other reason I wrote that is because of the political shenanigans inherent in the peer-reviewed journal system. "Anonymous peers" will sabotage the work of their rivals, and the journal editors will often choose them for the purpose of sabotaging research that doesn't support the causes the journal editors are working to promote.
I'm not so sure. General purpose distros are beholden to many interests that are likely to be irrelevant to "just" running containers, and likely to affect decision making regarding features, schedules, and priorities. One of the major advantages of Linux is that it can be customized to suit particular needs; I'm not sure why it is "baffling" to take advantage of that capability to specialize based on narrow and specific use cases.

Good luck.
Well CoreOS (for example) has a different update model, much more frequent, failover back to previous image in case of error and so on, that should help uptime overall. And it has a minimal config that can be set in a single config file. It is a different model.

Please do not confuse stupidity with ignorance. Albert Einstein was ignorant when he was born. He did not know anything. He was smart and quickly learned much more than many people will ever know.

My first computer program compiled and ran in the summer of 1967. I have spent most of my life since then learning about computers. There is far more information than I can ever hope to learn. New languages crop up nearly every day. I only know about a dozen well enough to write a respectable program in them.
I frequrntly get on HN (Hacker News)and find articles about "New release of Zarbodog" and I sometimes click through to see whatI am missing (I've never heard of Zarbodog). Often the article tells about speed improvements, space savings, interoperability with some API but never actually states what Zarbodog is.
A well-written article will start off with a sentence or two which tell what it is (hardware, software, website), what OS (Operating System) it is for, what language it is in (or compatible with), and what it is useful for.
I see a lot of ACRONYM(Abbreviated Capitalized Randomly Ordered Names Yielding Madness) usage which is not explained upon first usage. This is also a good practice.
If your failure to understand the titles or articles stems from lack of background, it is no sign of stupidity. You may never have enough background knowledge to fully understand all of the articles.

Communism: From each according to his ability; to each according to his need.

Basic Income: From each according to his willingness to work; to each according to his need, plus a share of society's surplus production proportionate to the market value of his contributions.

In the event where people are as a whole unwilling to contribute an amount greater than necessary to meet everyone's basic needs, Basic Income is very similar to Communism. There is no additional incentive to work harder, because any excess you produce is immediately applied to the shortfall. If you really bust your ass instead of skating by, everyone gets an extra roll of toilet paper this year.

If people are generally willing to contribute more than is strictly necessary to keep everyone else alive and healthy, they are very different. Once everyone reaches that critical tipping point, additional voluntary effort is rewarded by the ability to get things you want in addition to the things you need. And that is probably incentive enough to keep the economy from tipping back into "looks like Communism" mode. If you bust your ass instead of skating by, you, personally, can get your very own expensive thingamabob. And that allows someone else to work a job making those expensive thingamabobs, which in turn allows them to get an uncheap doohickey.

As such, it seems rather important to always calculate the "needs" in such a way that people are always incentivized to work, or to work harder than they otherwise would.
Hey, my idea is basically a free-market counterpart to yours: instead of restricting access to verified groups, allow anyone to create groups and let them compete for reputation.

This is how some journals come to be more prestigious than others anyway. You don't restrict the creation of journals to verified people; instead everyone gets to run a journal and they compete for reputation.

I expect to see Unit 731 type of stuff but on a smaller scale.

There are really shocking things that go on in North Korea right now. Massive prisons to hold political prisoners and their families, executions by all kinds of devices, starvation of the population on a wholesale level and it won't surprise me to find they are also doing human experiments.

Oh dear. BoE in their blog have a different idea to you, from their official blog:

http://bankunderground.co.uk/2015/06/30/banks-are-not-interm...

> In the simple ILF model, bank loans represent the intermediation of real savings, or loanable funds, between non-bank savers and non-bank borrowers. Lending starts with banks collecting deposits of real resources from one agent, and ends with the lending of those resources to another agent. In the real world, however, banks never intermediate real loanable funds,

> Rather, the key function of banks is the provision of financing, meaning the creation of new monetary purchasing power through loans ... The bank therefore creates its own funding, deposits, through lending. It does so through a pure bookkeeping transaction that involves no real resources

Read the whole thing. Digest it and don't get caught just trying to win an argument with a guy on the internet.

We are now through 2 layers of falsehoods.

Layer 1: there is a fixed amount of money

Layer 2: reserves and money multipliers

From the end of the article:

> To summarize, banks are not intermediaries of real loanable funds, they do not collect new deposits from non-bank savers. Instead they provide financing, they create new deposits for their borrowers. This involves the expansion or contraction of gross bookkeeping positions on bank balance sheets, rather than the channelling of real resources through banks.

5+ years experience in IT ops and support, currently transitioning to software development. My current position (~1 year) involves a lot of support-related custom reporting, scripting, and small application development (see GitHub, current employer is kind enough to allow me to open source work not based on my job description). Degree is in progress through ASU Online, so relocating is an option and expected.

Looking for a fairly junior position for an autodidactic self-starter at a relatively stable corp or series B+ startup. Interested in DevOps, process automation, data science, machine learning, and distributed computing. Willing to write CRUD/eCommerce too, but I have different long-term career goals.
Not that I can think of. The rulers of NK seem to not care about any level of suffering the poor people stuck there go through. Our attempts to bring about change via sanctions have just increase the suffering of the average person. It really is the closest we have to an Orwellian nightmare on the planet.

Sorry if that was not clear, I was trying to summarize Population genetics which gives some counterintuitive results. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_genetics The most interesting one is traits spread slower when there less beneficial meaning there are generally few big wins waiting to spread. As the winners have mostly already taken over.

Edit: Even simpler:

Consider a simple model with 1,000 human traits. For each you have a 99% chance of baseline and a 1% chance of -1. And to be fair there is 1 extra trait that has a 0.01% chance of being +1, 99% chance of being +0, and a 0.99% chance of being -1.

Randomly a few really lucky people might hit the full +1. But even most people with the positive mutation are still 0 or negative something.

If you graphed this for 10,000 people you would see something approximating a bell curve centered on a negative number.
This is really interesting, thanks for creating an account and commenting! I think that you're right - litigation related forms do have more complex requirements. That's one of the reasons we started with corporate documents, there seems to be a more common set of building blocks - smaller document sets, more routine requirements (like making sure everything gets signed and stored somewhere), etc. I'd be very interested to talk to you if you're up for a quick chat at some point about the litigation process though.
I don't know about those specific stories, but the horrors perpetrated by the North Korean regime on its people are well-documented.
Does Netflix have a physical presence in Illinois or Chicago? If not how can they enforce this, or has the law changed?

If they do have a physical presence in IL/Chicago doesn't this incentivize them to move out the area so they no longer have to collect that tax?

What kind of fantasy world do you live in where you think technology will automate all jobs?

If it happens I can assure you it won't be within your lifetime or your children's lifetime.

Also why would I pay you to dig a hole and bury it? Are we really so dense that we have to give people free money and not find them anything to do? No. I believe humanity is greater than that. I have a dream about a world where we all have the power to tell someone to mow the lawn or clean up the house AT THE VERY LEAST.
It would have been nice if they had linked to some explanation that gives some more details on what "Freedom of Panorama" is. I had never heard of it before today.

I see the Chevy Bolt being hyped, like the Volt before it. The ferocity of this push in the media, without actual sales results, says that they're practicing FUD and that Tesla's bigger challenge remains making their shipping targets.
> Perhaps this is outdated already but we have to resort to here-documents and other shenanigans to get the initial db and users created. Is there a better way to do this?

Yes, and it works for most server software, not just PostgreSQL. Use a configuration management system, like Salt, Puppet, or Chef.
I'm curious enough that I'd like to look into your worldview. So please, tell me what to read. What are the 4 or 5 links/resources that explain it best in your opinion?
They got ECN capability, which would have required OS changes even if it was built atop UDP.

Pretty good point. That's how I felt.

Additionally, this setting is probably too close to usual situations you get in school where there is little to no interaction and negative answers from the teacher are seen as failures by students. (Speaking about education in my country only.)

Neither is having political power in the exclusive hands of a hereditary elite. That's oligarchy or aristocracy.

I see arguments like this as a form of the naturalist fallacy. Not every aspect of the original TCP/IP design is worth preserving and exploiting. We don't need an URG pointer. We don't need IP source routing (really, we don't need the IP options we have now). We don't need a "length" field in UDP. &c.

TCP should have been built on top of UDP, as should ICMP. The IP "protocol" field doesn't do us much good. I don't think we should fret too much about not exploiting it.
Apple stopped patching Leopard (released in 2007) by 2011 and stopped supporting IOS 5 (released in 2011) just this year. Google is just starting to ditch support for Ice Cream Sandwich (released in 2011).

Good find, that was a great read.

I'm not sure Japanese is being replaced, just going through a period of rapid change. Like many other languages living under English's shadow. I see French, one of the most conservative linguistic cultures, constantly mangle English idioms into supposedly creative and original French.

The article made me wonder about that lucid, unstructured quality of the Japanese language and whether that was a reflection of Japanese culture. Peaceful, unassuming, curious. It mentioned the structured thought of the Western mind in contrast, which on the face of it seems beneficial, but on reflection might channel thought down narrow, blinkered lines.

Perhaps we could learn from Japanese vagueness of expression. Freedom to interpret multiple meanings could lead to increased connections and discoveries across social, scientific and political areas. This, instead of constant affirmations, confirmations, congratulating and ego-stroking might actually be one of Japan's greatest gifts to the world. It's not as if it has held them back as a nation and culture, after all.

This small island, tucked away on the periphery of planet Earth, has led the world in technology, art and science. Perhaps it is not a world literary power, but perhaps that's only right for the culture around the language. Maybe the author's longings for classics in Japanese to match those of her French degree course were a case of unmanaged expectations. Like the Tokyo-ite surviving on the cheapest of noodles just to fund their Louis Vuitton habit, perhaps the author is missing the point of the wider context surrounding Japanese language and culture, and how it relates to the rest of the world. If she were less angered by what doesn't exist and more in praise of what does, she might be more at peace with her language and culture.

That's all a whole lot of speculation and assumption on my part, but sometimes it's fun to break out of fact-land and get a little vague. Cheers to the article author, book author, translators and link sharer here for the reminder.
I think these sensors implement n color vision, working a lot like the ear does. Instead of just detecting three colors you detect hundreds of colors. With each dot tuned to a fairly narrow band of light you get good selectivity.
I like the 'keeping your legal documents organized'. What is up with the pre-loaded "industry standard" templates? Are you guys a law firm? Do you carry malpractice insurance in case these "industry standard" templates are awful and screw up someone's startup?
Note that there are some projects that are related to this, for instance a social network for scientists [1], a Github-like site for article creation with public comments [2] and some unknown third party comment systems for arXiv [3]. (I just found this one by googling.)

For any success of such a project, the official endorsement from arXiv is crucial. Academia is a very conservative place; anything branded as a social network might hit a snag, especially if "pricing" or closed source recommendation systems pop up.

I tested with negative integers, but didn't think to test with real numbers unfortunately. (Still got it right, but I should've tested that.)

That said, I did make sure to test all the edge cases I could think of. I was actually going to guess (n^1, n^2, n^3) at first, until it failed for (1, 1, 1).

10 "yes" tests, 6 "no" tests.
Tesla has a couple options with notoriously pricey long-term maintenance: air suspension and tires on the 21" wheels.
Three things off the top of my head:

1) Make sure as many people know about it as possible, which creates political pressure on your government.

2) Make sure your government knows that it's a priority for you.

3) Contact Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch; they probably can tell you much more about what you can do.

In my very humble opinion, I think the key is the Chinese public. If they pressure their government, it may be a hassle the Communist dictators decide that they don't need.
Neither did EQ AFAIK
In all fairness, most of that is warranty repairs. The initial door handles, for example, had reliability problems worse than your dad saw, which meant all of them ended up being replaced. (My car ended up having one replaced twice, because apparently the new version also has a problem, albeit more minor.)

Adding backup lines to the backup display, on the other hand, to 2 year old cars, that was unusual. It was purely a software upgrade.
Whit if it was really necessary to do these acts in order to prevent worse atrocities (e.g. what would occur if the White people were permitted to leave Haiti, but then garnered support while abroad and returned with armed forces)?

Certainly many civilians were killed in WW2, ostensibly to further the war effort and thus prevent a worse outcome of the Axis winning.

At the very least, we should judge this in the context of the terrible barbarism committed against Black slaves.
Meteor's story for backend rendering is the spiderable package, which works as follows: "When a spider requests an HTML snapshot of a page the Meteor server runs the client half of the application inside phantomjs, a headless browser, and returns the full HTML generated by the client code."

That's not really a good solution for all the obvious reasons. (Speed, resource usage, dependencies.) Plus, by that logic every client-side webapp supports being rendered on the server, so that's not even a meteor-specific advantage.

Conversely, React actually does supports true universal (aka isomorphic) apps; you can pre-render the app on the server using node (without needing a headless browser), ship it to the client, and rehydrate it. (Ember is working on shipping the same functionality under the name FastBoot.) Meteor doesn't have anything like that.

I'm sure meteor+react has some advantages over pouchdb+react, but it's not because of server side rendering. :)

(Well, as far as I know. I haven't been paying much attention to Meteor development, so it's possible the story has changed in the last few months. But last I checked, true server-side rendering was easy with react, but not really possible with meteor.)
