From my personal experience with not having a TV for the last ~10 years. I think the reason this comes up a lot is because people talk a lot about what on TV. When I was one of the only people around who did not have a TV and the conversation turned to some TV program, I was "forced" to say that I did not have access to it and couldn't have seen it. I think some people took it as slightly condesending that I actively choose to remove some activity from my life they themselves enjoyed.

When there are only a few people in a group who do not do as everyone else and it's a frequent conversation topic, they stick out. I have been on the other side with veganism. I'm not vegan. People talk a lot about food. Vegans say they don't eat meat. I would be slightly disheartened that they can't relate to the tasty greasy burger I was taking about.

As a lot of my peers now don't have flow TV and a fair amount is vegan, the default of everybody, my self included, is not to assume that you have a TV or eat meat, but to ask if you don't know. When you don't have a TV program or some types of food in common, the conversation shifts to something else. I see a lot less friction now than a few years ago.

This lift was due the large dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas being unavailable after an accident with Oasis Of The Seas.

Oasis Of The Seas was over the capacity of the dry dock, but was still docked. It was not lifted completely out of the water.

The dry dock broke under the ships weight causing the walls of the dry dock to collapse onto the ship. A crane collapsed onto the stern. Remarkably it didn't capsize. There where some non-life-threatening injuries.

The Euro Sign was designed in secrecy

From Wikipedia[0]:

There were originally 32 proposals; these were reduced to ten candidates. These ten were put to a public survey. After the survey had narrowed the original ten proposals down to two, it was up to the European Commission to choose the final design. The other designs that were considered are not available for the public to view, nor is any information regarding the designers available for public query. The European Commission considers the process of designing to have been internal and keeps these records secret. The eventual winner was a design created by a team of four experts whose identities have not been revealed. It is assumed that the Belgian graphic designer Alain Billiet was the winner and thus the designer of the euro sign.

No. The story says (emphasis mine):

Babchenko said that his wife Olechka and his children were aware of the plan, but he publicly apologised to her at the press conference. "Olechka, I am terribly sorry," he said, "but there were no other options".

My favorite books of 2016 was, and I can recommend all of them:

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky

The Martian by Andy Weir

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

Honorable mention from 2015: Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. I have just started Homo Deus and my first impression is that is is a worthy sequel.

I see that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS have version 7.47.0 [1]. Its been 9 months, 9 releases and at least 15 CVEs since then. I can also see that some of the CVEs was reported to distros@openwall [2]. I (naively) assumed that once this was reported, the package maintainers would update the packages, push a release at the same time as the original developer made a public statement. Then I could just update my system and be done with it.

Where is the fault in this chain? How can I as a maintainer of a few servers be sure my servers are secure without manually patching every package?

EDIT: changed "12 CVEs" to "at least 15 CVEs". The changelog don't have CVE-numbers in the title for all of them.

I don't think it's an interval. The second temperature seem to be the "Feels Like" temperature from worldweatheronline.com. I'm getting 52°C in Singapore which is ~15°C over the all time record.
