The author offers some reasonably strong evidence to discuss: 1) rapid adoption of Kubernetes 2) shiftless response strategy 3) aspects of the response strategy that imply internal *recognition* the company won't last

If Docker's future is an acquisition, who will it be? I have not thought deeply about this, but like the author, I have also heard scuttlebutt. From the "good for us" perspective, the community would not miss the company'

I think this author is pretty clear about what it means to be culpable, and why a "lifelong passion for technology" is no substitute for ethical analysis, and introspective skepticism of our enthusiasm. I have had a lifelong passi

You're right, my apologies. I frequently forget that I am not always writing from middle America to San Francisco on this website. I'll try to keep my blinders in check. This chapter was almost certainly posted in the context of S

I am having trouble with all the disembodied concepts in your question. The very notion of classifying hate speech differently from "regular" speech, is predicated on the idea that some speech does, in fact, cause harm. If J.S. Mi

I'd challenge you to find some specific emphasis about immediacy in Mill's explanation of the harm principle , but I don't think you're arguing in good faith either.

Thanks, it was a very interesting journey reading over some of this. Stephen faults Mill's logic in talking about a turning point for pre-civil societies. "Until then, there is nothing for them but implicit obedience to an Akbar o

I live in Colorado. Marijuana was slowly decriminalized before it was legalized. A handful of states stopped putting minorities into prison for marijuana. It's hard to argue that any of the states have applied a reasonable standard of

The most interesting historical tidbit I learned from reading this essay, is that when you are playing devil's advocate , you are implying the person you are arguing with has been nominated for sainthood.

It is not difficult to discern whether a candidate for hate speech violates Mill's harm principle . Speech of the form "All <insert_ethnic_group> are inherently inferior to <insert_other_ethnic_group>" d

To answer your original question: I checked the latest version of Shazam, and it does not request location services at all. (And I can't find a setting that might enable it later, either.) I believe cmelbye was simply responding to you

You are correct. I was writing sloppily, and I should have referenced cryptographically secure content hashes. (And ideally published in a public, append-only fashion.) The key difference being whether you are validating the content, or the

The use case of a verifiable archive would be better handled if example.com simply published content checksums for every URL out of band. Van Jacobson worked on a system based on this concept at PARC about 10 years ago, and it has since evo
