Comcast has been playing the long game with the data caps. They know that everyone's needs will increase over time and we'll move from a cap that affects few people to one that affects most people. The cap will never increase ho

Yes I would think intelligence agencies should prefer Telegram over other encrypted chat providers since there's at least this possibility of leaking.

For private chats Telegram uses end-to-end encryption and they cannot read the chats. Of course, they control the clients though, so they could update their clients to also send the chats to Russian intelligence and it would be hard for an

We run it in our proxy-only environment pretty regularly. You want docker to have proxy settings but not kubernetes. We use kubeadm and kubespray to install upstream. OpenShift is really broken with a proxy though and requires manual int

That makes insurance more expensive. Do you think insurance companies are some bottomless reserve of money hoarded by evil tycoons? This reasoning is why medical costs spiral out of control. It's true that the system encourages this

The nice thing about this is that we can use Dot-town as a halting oracle, which can then be used to solve any specific undecidable problem we'd want to solve. Make the machine output a set of dots after running some unknown computati

You've confused mean and median there, but the point I was making is that a $15 minimum in Santa Clara county, with a median wage of $29.20 will have a far different impact than in Fresno with a median wage of $16.10. And that's

It should be pointed out that studies of small increases of minimum wage that show modest harm do not immediately tell us that huge increases of minimum wage will not cause greater harm. Remember that $15/hour is more than the median

Rust's borrowing system is pretty unique and allows for safe concurrency in a way that none of those languages can. Compared to Go in particular Rust brings a much more powerful type system as well.

Measures that can capture some of what you're looking for are "U-6 unemployment," which includes discouraged workers as well as those actively looking, as well as the labor force participation rate. U-6 has been showing stea

It certainly complicates the picture. I think the only way to make this workable is if you adopt a convention that you specify your minimum dependency if you're a library, but the current version if you're an executable. Of cour

We can only hope they'll at least have a tool that you can run that will bump up all the versions to specify the latest. But then of course that will make solving dependencies a lot harder since it's much more likely you'll
