I am an American and also don’t have anyone I know, nor far off acquaintance killed, therefore I conclude the US is actually fine with it comes to traffic.

Why are you using an anecdote to define your data here?

seems like it is just email address harvesting. counter measures linked in the article are just ways to more anonymize data, but I'm not sure why we want that. they even suggest not using a username to identify a user...

seems like this should be flagged for being clickbait/trying to induce fear

Funny enough, at my company we did just this. Having local state is a requirement for our uptime and reliability goals, and we have a dumb service that pushes this back to the services via DynamoDB streams, and also dumps the data into S3 in case that service is down.

RAMCloud Project 8 years ago

The RAMCloud project is based in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University.

It's not by Atlassian...

I don't think it was GitHub's memcached instances. It was other public instances that with spoofed network requests ended up sending traffic back towards GitHub's network.

I don't work there, but it seems naive to think that YouTube hasn't worked with law enforcement or these industries directly to remove these copyrighted works. If your rip is simple or obvious enough, YouTube blocks it immediately before it's published. That seems very different from hosting a site specifically for pirating copyrighted works.

Oddly, as the article noted in a single line, they're common among tall, skinny men. I've had three lung collapses so far, but all do to Birt-Hogg-Dube [1]. When I was being checked out in the hospital each time, the nurses/hospital staff all said, "ah, yea, tall and skinny".

In reality, you can live through a lung collapse and do nothing. The doctor will take an x-ray, make sure the pocket of air outside the lung is shrinking and send you home. If it's fully collapsed, you'll get some surgery to repair it and a tube to make sure nothing gets back in. It never seemed as life-threatening as the article suggests. It wasn't fun, but I also never felt like I was near death or anything.

It feels like the author just found spontaneous pneumothoraxes to be interesting, and built an article around it.

So far, since the top of the comments, you're the only one that acknowledged the volunteer has thoughts too. I think everyone is just looking at the moral part of this and not how the interaction between the volunteer and president would be when he's hesitant but the volunteer still believes it's the right decision. It does call into question what kind of volunteer this is. Someone who's ready to die for the country from the get go wouldn't work out very well.

I think some resentful high school students that had a hard time often reflect American schooling poorly. I didn't have a supremely negative time (with the teaching at least) and I went to a standard 8:00-2:30 school in Massachusetts that had hour long blocks. I think we need to start taking more negative responses on the Internet as the extreme and not necessarily the norm.

While I wouldn't say I learned all of this, we did cover quite a similar set of topics during my schooling. It's not everywhere that schooling is bad in the US. Not every school just lumps all of the kids no matter their aptitude into the same classes. A lot of schools have many levels of placement that are to help understand the baselines a student can be held to. For most math and science classes I took the top classes and felt it was a great pace (most of the time) and learned quite a bit. For history and English/grammar classes where I'm not as strong, I took a middle level class and still learned much of the same material but at a slower pace.

For cases like your sister, there was options for classes to be taken. She can take many different art classes over the course of a couple years to help build a portfolio for submitting to colleges. I on the other hand had 2 maths, 2 sciences, and an English class my final semester. It was great since it so closely aligned with my college studies and helped me get ahead (AP). I never felt difficulty in college having taken these APs either.

Just setting the record straight, it's not the complete Wild West over here. Just some schools are stronger than others. My school is pretty standard as far as schools in south east Massachusetts go.

People are actually genuinely interested in what comes out of re:invent. Because you don't use Amazon's services or don't like the company doesn't mean they paid for placement. They paid a lot of money to developers to develop great things. Why do you have to take that away from them?

I'd say the reason to mention NK was because I'm sure if you asked most people in the US and most of Europe, they'd say that NK likely doesn't have the internet. But it does. Just not available to the masses. Availability to the masses is the point of the headline here.

The Microsoft version doesn't hide a local copy. The file still exists in the FS, just when run/opened, it should pull down the copy in place and open the now downloaded file in the correct program. This could be done with a similar feature to selective sync, and enabling this feature for certain folders and always syncing other folders.
