This is what I love about the design and operational philosophy of the Erlang/OTP evironment: the trickier class of harder-to-test/reproduce transient/timing pre-defensive-coding issues can sometimes be resolved automagically

The danger of a supermajority in COTUS, POTUS and SCOTUS is alt-right and Freedom Party extremist agendas being railroaded through and ripping up sensible, sane policies into tatters for those special interest$ and crazy fringe groups. Two

Hence relatively conservative BAS advanced the doomsday clock closer to midnight: unwillingness to tackle climate change and an insane chief of staff lunging to push the button to start WW III.

BTDTBTTS. That's an ignorant mischaracterization and it's not hard to do with competent staff. My team and I ran several full HA Zimbra (when owned by Vmware) deployments including major components MySQL, Lucene and Webmail (the o

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands and Switzerland are such dysfunctional banana republics with all that single-payer healthcare, sensible urban traffic design and reform-centric criminal justice. Also, fire depts, police and highways are

Zimbra and Roundcube are the closest OSS solutions. After running an email startup, it's a very hard business to crack (people change email providers infrequently and what they're willing to pay doesn't justify investment exc

In the South and midwest, magical thinking (ie church, religion and faith) is given more weight than rationality. In those sort of areas, the pastors and most prominent families have the most influence over communities beliefs, generally. I

As antivaxxers and MMS folks are irrational child-abusers, they should be investigated by CPS. Worse, antivaxxers put the community at risk by reducing herd immunity. Just like fluoride in water, there should be no exceptions for protecti

Checksums != signatures For free, the author could simply GPG sign all releases for all platforms and suggest users verify them. Then, the decision to run untrusted code is the user's decision and bypasses platform monetization. Then,

Perhaps a more human-understandible criterion threshold for publishing would be logarithmic inverse p-value... the closer p gets to 0 (stronger correlation), the bigger log(1/p) gets. This of course is just one aspect of greater iss

There's an interesting video by Veratasium "Is Most Published Research Wrong?" (Clickbaity title to be sure.) It shows, on the overall statistics of valid/invalid vs. published/unpublished papers, the arbitrary p-va

That is proof of poor investing common-sense: startups, without a sensible inbound qualification pipeline, is just about the riskiest kind of investing. Would anyone want a foolish investor (apart from not caring situations) or rather have

Brand Ferriss LOL. The thing that really sold me on his nut-content was an old blog article which mentally-wandered into mystical, utopian BS. Too many startup people worship someone, someone they don't really know anything about, like
