For Iran is your point, "what ultimately changed in the long run?". DPRK is more despotic - I don't think their current government will actually work, or last many years with a connected population. For them being able to com

There is a growing amount of cheap contraband smartphones and electronics in DPRK. When it reaches a critical mass, the only thing stopping a revolution will be ISP access. Well-timed satellite or balloon based WiFi could foment a revolutio

I think it's a great decision. Vulnerabilities should involve this much pain for the auto companies. We all acknowledged the issue is architecture, and that can't be fixed by flashing firmware.

I sometimes wonder if "like humans" is the key. What if past some level of technical advancement, organisms cease inhabiting the same scale as us. Physically and temporaly; they become microscopic and perceive+act on a time scale

Correct answer. The demo is doing everything right, parent seems confused. Browsers also don't have any special regard for '.json' in the path. The path can be anything; the path doesn't suggest anything about content-ty

Taking the "I don't get it" attitude on this resembles a sort of classic anti-science ignorance, not sure if that's what you were going for.

What I find really silly is "would you like to subscribe to my blog?" popups which appear over top of the content after scrolling. Let alone the browser-level modal: "Allow This Person's blog to send you push notificat

Seems like a good encoding of what we are: a babbling throng of socially connected low-level cognition nodes, occasionally galvanized or sent off in some direction by a smaller set of higher cognition control nodes. Maybe it was a very inte

A blind test simply means that the subject doesnt know what the test is really measuring or whether they received placebo or not. A placebo could be static noise or other audio.

I like where you're going with that

Advice always seems vapid when you ask someone to create a quip or an aphorism and attach their name to it so it can be displayed in a public place.

you're absolutely right, one needs to build images sans all of the dev toolchain and with staging/production flags. but the deps and parts they share in common should be identical. this is a hairy problem to solve, but containers

by msane 11y ago
To the position that containerization is needless complexity for simple or non-scaling apps: one of the benefits of containers is it can create development environments which can be identical to your production environment(s); no matter wha

Laws are great. Laws against use of information technology are pretty troublesome to enforce. Are you thinking of a law against building or operating drones? Or a law against using open source software which controls swarms of drones or sto

Absolutely

by msane 11y ago
I sort of agree, but it just seems technology is going that way one way or the other. How could it be stopped? When/if that sort of tech happens culture would be very different to say the least.

I think this is our future, whether it's dystopian or not. Technology is eventually going to make it impossible to really prevent "Persistent aerial surveillance". What requires an expensive small blimp today might become the

That's funny, and totally believable. Still a great question. Speaking of economics fizzbuzz type interview questions can be understood in terms of risk. People second-guess themselves when asked simple questions which directly address

This is such a great demo. I saw this maybe a year ago and was just thinking about it the other day. Huge nebulas larger than the galaxy are completely mystifying.

"That was wrong. We apologize"... After what, 3-4 years of mainly illegal content? Wow :) if only every crime was that easy to deal with. It's very Wall Street of them.

This kind of stuff scares the bejesus out of me.

Containers and VMs are part of the solution to this problem, not a cause. Try managing the same dependencies across N platforms rather than one container!

I could see that working. I would be surprised if anything like the Daily Show could be replicated without one of the cast members. But some other topical format with the right person. Like what Bill Maher is to HBO.

The fact that it's still open probably means it is under some level of serious consideration. It was opened before they released Machine (and Swarm?) so maybe they just didn't know how/when it should fit in until the dust set

Yeah that's basically what his point is. Except you misunderstood to interpret any suggestion that people use underscore and lodash together.

Now that, is cool.
