One possibility is that the real activity at this point is not between the US and Iran, but between the gulf states (who are probably willing to accept a compromise) and Iran, and then also between the gulf states (again, who want this over

I think (based on reading people who seem well informed) that what matters in Iran is the commitment of the elites in power and loyalty of the security forces. Authoritarian governments can suppress popular will for a long time before coll

Absolute pain is not the right measure. You have to look at the level of pain that will threaten the stability of the current government or group in power. On that basis, it’s less clear. How close Iran’s to meaningful instability is deba

A problem with vaccines and the public is that when you perform any intervention on many many people, some will happen to (randomly) suffer some issue. To them, it is obviously causation, regardless of what the math (that they do t underst

But isn’t that the situation we are in now? Both side can hurt the other, without much chance of a real military loss. So it’s a contest for who can withstand more pain for longer. It seems Iran wins that contest.

Fertilizer. And imports for the gulf states.

More than oil goes through the strait. And some of the producers don’t have another way out except via a neighboring country.

That seems to be about a fee change that increased costs for market makers, widening spreads.

by lokar 2mo ago
Does it really hurt institutional traders? How? Is it based on the idea that they can’t get the retail spreads? Because there is no world where they would have ever gotten them. A market maker would loose money doing that.

You could allow commits in the same PR that must all go together, and then squash them before you merge

I would back up. If leadership is not committed to real reviews, it’s not your job to make them happen. Don’t try to fight an impossible fight no one cares about. Personally, I would leave. But that’s not always an option for everyone.

And then some of the time while breaking it up you realize you should have done it another way.

by lokar 2mo ago
If the whole thing is really all or nothing (very rare), at least break it up into sensible commits that can be reviewed individually.

For 99% of installs the basic assumption that local logging (with local reading) is the primary mode is just wrong.

It was a stock/default kernel setup, before my time.

Not against fixing it, but at the next normal update, it an emergency.

My favorite urgent must fix CVE from compliance was a bug in the Linux PCMCIA driver on some EC2 VMs.

That’s not security, it’s compliance.

Do the cities that accept the reports do anything with them?

You don’t need to regenerate, insert a DOM element to obscure it.

The idea that these are needed, and deployed to address a crime problem is false. For example, Irvine, CA has been one of the safest large cites in the US for decades. Why did they need flock?

At least you don’t have to use the default feed. You can make your own.

In order for a discussion to be useful both sides need to be genuinely willing to change their position. It sounds like here neither side is open to change.

Also, wasn’t this about concurrency? You could, if you really wanted, write a paxos or raft implementation with no concurrency.

One way to curb limited liability is to require a bond or insurance. Now you can be fined more than the net value of the company. And, you need to convince another party (who has $ on the line) to sell you the insurance at a reasonable pr
