says "Previous worldwide travel alerts were issued in May 2011, September 2011, August 2013 and December 2014"

These problems have been happening since the 1990's and very little if any progress has been made in these areas.

If it is that prevalent, I also would feel safe to surmise that it has little to do with the other detractors posted here (ie it's over-engineered, needs documentation, it makes Joe a better engineer, etc.).

Coders like to code productively first and foremost, not spend their time documenting and designing processes and procedures. I say don't fight their instincts. Let them do that!

This is where DevOps comes in to play, and should be the focal point of resolution for this and related issues; letting the coders do what they already do best.

The first sentence: Parts of the country that depend on the safety-net programs supported by Democrats are increasingly voting for Republicans who favor shredding that net.

Later: In eastern Kentucky and other former Democratic bastions that have swung Republican in the past several decades, the people who most rely on the safety-net programs secured by Democrats are, by and large, not voting against their own interests by electing Republicans. Rather, they are not voting, period.

So why start the article saying they vote against, to later say they don't vote? Clickbait maybe?

Anyway what I take away from the article is something I have observed for all my years - Pain (economic or other) is a motivator. If you are struggling, you are much more likely to do something about it.

When a person is handed something for free or little effort, they become apathetic towards that thing. I am not saying that this is a rule - it is a generality. A lot of how people behave in that situation depends on a great deal of outside factors. Maturity, life experience, intelligence can all have an affect

When I was young, a friend of mine had his 4 year old car totalled. It was hit on the side, so the damage was limited to the body of the car. He sold it to me for $100 because that's what the junkyard offered him.

It drove great, no alignment problems or any problems at all except it looked bad.

Within 3 weeks I had pushed the engine way past redline (it was a manual) in a short race, and the engine began to fail.

I kept that lesson with me - if I had not done that, I could have driven that car for years to come, saving me money on insurance, gas, etc. Lack of maturity was my biggest problem.

People vote to give themselves something when they are struggling, but after that motivation is removed they will mostly fall back to old habits.

Struggle is a critical part of the human condition. Take that away and you take away a big part of us.

My first thought (after the initial thoughts of OMG and etc.) when I heard about the Paris attacks (lower case on attack is mine - when did attack stop being a verb?) was the upcoming attack that would be perpetrated against civil liberties in the name of freedom.

Maybe I am in the minority, and honestly my assessment is that readers here are likely to be in the same minority group; but from a philosophical point of view the rapid reversion to tightened control and monitoring by governments was a significant setback to our race as a whole and the great strides made in last 200-300 years regarding personal freedoms. We can marry whomever we want in the US now, but heaven forbid I wanted to have a private conversation.

I don't know what our future holds; but I am quite sure that this won't bode well. Knee jerk reactions are now a specialty of all governments and critical analysis and discussions are no longer in vogue.

I sincerely hope that Edward Snowden has nothing he was looking forward to in the US.

Luckily I usually do the paste, but not for security reasons, to make sure formatting is as expected.

Now I have a reason to do that every time.

Thanks poster!

Could you drop the year indicator?

Don't throw out the entire argument with nitpicking on a minor misunderstanding re: institutional trading. The main thrust of his argument is clearly valid.

#2: Date - along the bottom edge the date progresses. Knowing generally that the market did well during certain multi-year ranges was an absolute edge. Too bad the real world doesn't come with this kind of information.

My advice though to you directly though is there is more to life than casting judgements, and when it comes to personal desires I have a hard time telling someone they are wrong if they are not infringing on anyone else.

You might do better to keep a more open mind to what drives people yourself.

Not drawing any parallels here, but I am sure that there have been many 'Joan of Arc' and 'Moses' in history, and only a very tiny number of those received any recognition or praise. How many doubtlessly countless numbers were forgotten or plain ignored? Their lifes work and passions laid bare for all to see, only to be shuffled away when they weren't successful by others measurements.

Tl;dr I see Terry as a reminder to march to your own drummer and to support others to do the same; whether they win or lose.

Yikes! Needs a bath!

This is? any idea when you saw it?

So true.

I was not sure if I was missing something or plain cynical when when I read he had worked for 2 weeks to get an interview.

Our company bought out a telephony billing software company (we were leasing that previously). The deal included the guy who wrote the first release and subsequent, by himself, for years. This matters as it explains the mindset - there was low level of trust between us.

So that guy who wrote the software didn't want us messing with his servers/workstations. His solution? To remove the default route. As we were located in different cities, it meant we could only access his systems when he would add routes, which he would remove afterward.

My company needed access to a server one day, and they asked if I could remotely get that going.

Since we paid the bills, we owned the internet router, and I realized I could hop from that router to his servers and add the default route at will.

This worked great and everyone was happy (or didn't know we were doing it), except for me. I was determined to automate that.

So I wrote up a script that would log in to the router, then the server, then add the route, and logoff.

However what I didn't understand was that without wait states between commands it was possible under the right circumstances to overflow a router. This was exactly what happened while I was testing my script... A bunch of garbage flashed across the screen, my telnet session disconnected, and suddenly I could no longer ping their router.

Now we had to tell that guy what happened, so he could meet the phone company engineer on site to reprogram the router.

Just because something works a few times doesn't mean it's good to go...

Whether exactly what is real or fake?

Who is going start the KickStarter for a bracelet that detects drowning and signals the lifeguard?!

In summary from a person in that scenario:

1. Not known of and too short of time horizon - People still run Windows XP in the real world. Changes where the rubber meets the road (IT and DevOps) take years of hard evidence, infrastructure cost, justifications, etc. to catch on. It does not behove these groups to be an early adopter.

2. Not flexible enough yet - I have a ton of use for this if I could run it more like a VM but faster and easier to deploy. I devop with a product that uses its own kernel... I tried to talk Dev in to compiling a kernel with Docker for a use case I have - you can guess where that went.

Docker is great, but I can only use it with my devs in its current state and for myself in specific cases.

I tried to hack at it by specifying the semicolon and such, but could not get it to do more.

I observed they had it at least mildly secure - it would not accept input for some special characters when typed; they would simply not appear on the screen within the game. But clearly there are holes in these. Without more information on the construction it was not trivial though.

Your 20 years old. You may suddenly realize what really went wrong and that it was not your fault. Too late though, because this post is already out there.

True or not true - this post cannot help your career, only hurt you or best case do nothing.

If you have nothing to gain and only things to lose the answer is obvious.

Good luck either way.

So the final conclusion I had == highly likely 0, but a very small chance of 6.

2 points were statistically ruled out the moment I heard 10%.

I see how the thinking re: screw it though also is valid. Thanks.

Can someone enlighten me as to why a 90% break point? Why not for example 50%? Is it because 90% introduces some level of collaboration or vice versa?

Sans collaboration or any other useful information (people I may already know in the class, etc.), I would say at best you have a 50/50 chance of a total stranger choosing the option that is better for the common good. That number is based on it being college age students. If it were the general public at large I would estimate at least 60% would choose the more personally beneficial option.

Am I just extremely pessimistic? Please give your thoughts.

Usually skipped but most critical, is simple trace minerals and vitamins.

Our food is entirely missing so much in the current day, because the same plots of land are farmed over and over (think 25-50 years for the same land).

Himalayan Sea Salt has the trace minerals, and supplementation with Vitamin D, Magnesium, and B-12 have specifically helped mood and energy.

You can get blood tests for these levels, but even in cases where levels are normal supplements have been shown to help.

Possibilities are a recruiter

something you put in for some time ago that just happens to match the job listing you found here

??

This position title of Sr-Mbr-Eng-Staff-Java matches longstanding positions... This could be a year or even more before they closed out the position, which then resulted in a letter going out to every applicant over a period of time.

Can you reset your password on the account and log in?

Yea, no doubt. Don't even need an MBA to see that. If you have two equal competitors, the first one to market has a useful head start.

I think this article is what I would call aggressive trolling; scoring points by 'thinking different'. But essentially this is not more than standard knowledge, repackaged as a hype laden pseudo-intellectual conversation meant to score points.

Would really like to see Ubuntu AND Kali Linux laptop that supports these requests:

A decently high resolution screen (minimum of 1280x1024) wifi hacking capable (hardware that will work natively with Kali) Faster than ARM - for processing reasonable password hashing (not 3d GPU level) and running VM's of Windows

Thanks all including original poster.

Armed with this, I took interest in your response and checked out the math.

Interestingly, this device seems to produce the pressure!

Using their specifications of the piezoelectric pump on the page you sent.

Piezoelectric pump produces 1.5kPa. This converts to 15.3 cm WC (centimeters of water column) or cmH2O. 4-20 cmH2O is the range of a cpap!!

But, the airflow needed at that pressure is a critical issue as long as you want to breathe freely. The piezoelectric pump produces 0.8 liters per minute.

At http://www.sleepdex.org/cpap.htm it says a cpap produces 20 to 60 liters of air per minute (lpm).

To reach the lowest end you need 20 lpm. Calculate 20 / .8 = 25

So you need 25 of these piezoelectric pumps to reach the lowest possible; 75 of them to reach the high end. This is literally almost an order of magnitude.

And in case you thought so; piezoelectrics can't scale. They are very limited in size, by the physics of the vibrations.

So still not even close. It would require a quantum leap in technology over what we have available.
