If you are an American and a true patriot you cannot support Calexit. We need everyone in this together for the future political battles to come. Isolation will not help anyone.

That's true, in a shooting war with a peer we haven't had much practice since Kosovo. However, neither has Russia, and while they have been putting on a show of force in Syria, that is basically them at almost max deployment and f

We already have infrastructure, China had next to none and still doesn't really. A lot easier to grow when you're starting from zero.

You also create an unaccountable permanent lame-duck class of politicians that can't be re-elected.

What are you smoking? Of course we have a favorable trade with China, we give them paper dollars and get back real goods in exchange.

I don't quite share your bleak assessment of the US IC's ability as far as Russia goes, but otherwise spot on. And it doesn't matter anyway if you don't trust any of your advisors or intelligence reporting.

That an American Berlusconi is an optimistic take is incredibly dark.

You don't need (federal-level) politicians to change this! The constitution is a wonderful thing. There is a process for amending it that bypasses Washington completely. Maybe we should put it on the table.

I'm so sorry. Maybe you can use your unique perspective to shine a light on how backwards Trump's support of Putin and Putinesque policies is.

I think there is probably some truth to the antifragile theory, but we should remember that the system is made up of individual people and their choices to act within that system. Too many rogue players and there is no system.

M2V is artificially low since ~2008 as banks recapitalized and sold assets/bonds, increasing the supply of money as calculated by M2 but not putting it into circulation, hence velocity decreasing. If you look at M2 and M2V they are nea

If you want to do that you had better hurry up, the Odenton-Annapolis corridor is starting to get discovered and is building out new track developments very quickly.

If the "marketing" Tesla is putting out is not part of the real world, that would be fraud, which was the situation with Theranos.

by tcoppi 10y ago
Are you suggesting that Tesla is defrauding investors and regulators, as Theranos did?

I agree that parsing /proc/pid/maps is a complete nightmare, but I'm pretty sure that the way pseudo-files on linux work, it is guaranteed the contents won't change out from under you while you are reading it.

by tcoppi 10y ago
I don't disagree that there is a lot of information you cannot include in such a snapshot, and neither the Windows or OS X equivalents(it's the KERN_PROC argument to sysctl btw) give you much detail beyond all pids(which you can g

It is at least meaningless from a data loss prevention/mitigation perspective.

Sure it means something. Both Windows[1] and OS X[2] have easy ways to do it, and the task list in the Linux kernel is just a linked list that could be easily atomically copied. Obviously a lot of the metadata associated with the processes

by tcoppi 10y ago
I think it is a bigger problem that you can't get a snapshot of all processes atomically. It is easy enough to solve the case of atomically accessing a single process, though annoying.

And if you don't have control of your endpoints, any network monitoring or tls mitm is meaningless anyway, as the contents can always be encrypted again inside of the tls tunnel. Then you're back to square one, the inbound/ou

You might not really mind for a week or two. Businesses and people relying on payroll being hit on time certainly do mind, and the longer it gets backed up the greater systemic effects it can have.

Historically in the 20th century, it is not that common for a bank to fail. Since 2008 bank failures have accelerated greatly. I also could tell a story about people losing access to their money for weeks, waiting on the FDIC, when IndyMac
