Many Catalan family are still waiting to know where are their children. They are so selfish!

So easy to forget, they were oppressed for decades, tortured, forced to send their children abroad when they were not abducted, forbidden to speak their language, forbidden to use a catalan name, etc. etc. And nearly nothing was/is done to jail the people responsible of this freaking nightmare. They are still rooming freely in spain. They even have an organization dedicated to the dictator. This organization is full of old franquist. They even try to put an

Spain is the same country which protected nazis until his death in 1994.

Yeah, fucking selfish catalan and outdated nationalism.

In this affair, Catalans seems very reasonable people. Spain definitively have to sort out his past : francoist, nazism, abductions, ...This have to be solve! It is not normal that the responsible of all this were never sanctioned.

Catalan people don't believe that they are better than others. They are waiting for 30-40 years for sound response to crimes to the humanity. Seems like some people are pardoning themselves so easily that is selfish.

P.S.=> For a SINGLE 'standalone' non-networked PC (no home network/LAN but TCP/IP connected online) turn off Server & Workstation services.

That shuts off any "handles" (port 445) this thing propogates thru + turn off NetBIOS over TCP/IP in your internet connection & uncheck/disable Client for Microsoft Networks + File and Print Sharing. Port 139 & 445 always pop up issues over time. It also makes your packet trains smaller (no encapsulation of LanMan)

I covered all this 11++ yrs. ago in a security guide I wrote for users with a single system & apparently, its advice STILL STANDS THE "TEST OF TIME" https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=%22HOW+TO+SECURE+Windows+2000%2FXP%22&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=1/ vs. even today's threats like this one.

* This effectively makes this threat a non-issue + saves you CPU cycles/RAM & other I/O wasted on services you don't NEED as a single PC user only... & you don't. They're just wastes with a single PC really. Many services are (covered in guide above based on CIS Tool guidance (who took fixes to their ware from "yours truly" too, no less)) & again, no more encapsulated packet bulk.

So Al Gore was wrong by 5 or 10 years?
So you completely missed his point?

turp182 posted this as answer to you: https://www.google.com/maps/pl...

Hint: look at the damn picture. When the ice cap is gone ... all the green area around the mountain will be desert.

Kilimanjaro is watering (via aqueducts thousands of years old) areas 100ds of km away. Everything there will simply be dead

Wo the funk cares if Al Gore missed the date by 5 or 10 years?

Is it a monolithic or geodesic dome?

Neither - it uses earth as an inner form, to be removed by a backhoe afterward. There is no outer form except for where the walls are steep. In order to anchor the outer form to the interior we either have to use wires attached to the foundation, or to shotcrete anchors to the earth form.

Does it have multiple levels?

"Sort of". ;) The basic shape can be divided into what the engineer has taken to calling "the worm" (garage, hallway and some small rooms that branch off of it) and two "domes" - a small one that makes up the guest wing and is divided into two rooms, and a big open floor plan dome that makes up the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom. The "worm" starts at the garage, descends deeper into the ground the further into the house you get, so each room branched off of it is successively lower, and ends at the guest wing dome. At the main dome, you can either go up or down from the hallway; down is the base of the dome (living room / kitchen), while up is a wooden loft built inside the dome (master bedroom). I picked up a tiny one-person bucket elevator for next to nothing from a person who was contracted to tear down an old library, so I'll be incorporating that in as well :)

Dividing the house into simple shapes helps the engineers. They can treat the worm as an arch that just varies in height and width, while they can treat the domes as isolated structures, with a self-supporting interconnect. Of course, to keep it this simple they have to bear the earth loads, since half the house is underground (it's built on the edge of a canyon, so you've got big windows on the canyon side, but you don't see it from the other side because the ground continues onto the "roof"). To take the earth loads (rather than having to basically angle the whole house against the ground!) the engineer came up with the idea to have a concrete "beam" up against the earth, which transfers the loads into perpendicular internal walls that act as buttresses.

(Gotta love having a good engineer! :) )

How about the roof (if it isn't a dome), is that concrete?

The whole loadbearing structure is concrete. For aesthetics, we're looking at concreting in rocks (aka, the rocks would be on the surface of the earth mould and thus get concreted in when the concrete is poured). The engineer thinks we'll probably have to drill and/or glue some concrete anchors onto the rocks; I guess we'll find out. Hopefully not drill, that'd take an awfully long time ;) Anyway, once the mould is is cleared out, I'll be using high pressure water to remove excess cement off the rocks. Should create a very nice cave feel :) The bath is going to just be a low point in the foundation, with rocks concreted into it (the inspiration is Grjótagjá, up north - my favourite geothermal cave bath :) ))

I've been toying with the idea of designing/building an extremely long lasting, low maintenance home off the grid in the back woods

Good for you! I wish more people would pay attention to the whole "long lasting" aspect. People talk about "eco homes" - there's nothing "ecological" about having to rebuild a house every couple decades. If you build a house and it lasts hundreds or even thousands of years, it's saving a huge amount of resources versus a house that has to be rebuilt over and over again.

You of course have to "futureproof" it as best as you can. E.g. just in the

Here it is more recently, just about free of snow.

https://www.google.com/maps/pl...

I'm not sure when the image is from, but right now it's spring in Africa with summer coming up. It will probably be snow free at some point during their summer.

And missing the date by a couple of years for something like that, that's rather accurate in my opinion.

> Because Linux normally lets you use your choice of file system on top of your choice of volume manager, on top of whichever RAID implementation you choose, with your choice of IO scheduling options, ZFS isn't exactly the best fit. ZFS mashes all those different things into one big blob. That's not really how Linux is designed.

Criticizing ZFS for "rampant layering violation" has been discussed to death before

"Dumb" API's, such as the ones implemented in Linux, have a STRICT layered approach like this:

* Volume Management
* File Management
* Block (RAID)

Problems start when each layer needs information at the layer above it. This is epitomized with the design flaw in hardware RAID via the write-hole. Link to English version

In contradistinction ZFS takes a holistic, unified approach:

* Volument Management <--> File Management <--> Block

e.g.
The original RAIDZ implementation was written in 599 lines of code in vdev_raidz.c -- less code equals less bugs.
https://github.com/illumos/ill...

> That's the same issue as systemd

No it doesn't. You are comparing apples to oranges. ZFS works because it intentionally "Flattened the stack" -- Yes, this runs counter to the layered Unix approach -- but sometimes that is NOT the best design decision.

Meanwhile Oracle keeps flailing about with Btrfs.

... just not in the places she needed them.

Just watched 'The Australian interview' where she describes the bitterness of realizing millions of people hate her, which she blames on an misinformation campaign conducted mostly on Facebook. In her eyes, she won the public debates so the people should have voted for her. She was criticized for being 'soft on herself' with an example being her abusive attitude towards Trump supporters. Her attitude was 'Look at which people Trump cares about now (eg. neo-nazis): I was right'.

Good God, Hillary has turned into a delusional harpy.

Just. Go. Away.

Hillary is an inveterate liar with horrible political instincts - just go through the different versions she went through over her email server. First there wasn't one. Then there wasn't any emails on it. Then there weren't any classified emails on it. Then there weren't any emails marked classified. And so on, keeping the story alive for a whole damn year, because every few weeks more evidence would come out that proved Hillary's previous statements were, ummm, inconsistent with the facts as they were now known. In short, she repeatedly lied about her email server. Period.

Do you really think Hillary didn't go to Michigan or Ohio or Pennsylvania as the election approached because she didn't know what was happening? Like hell she didn't - she knew. Obama even spent the day before the election in Michigan campaigning for Hillary. Do you think Obama would have spent the Monday before the election in Michigan if Democrats didn't think it was critically important?

She KNEW the Rust Belt states were going to be close.

So why didn't Hillary go? Because when she made appearances there, her support DROPPED. (I actually saw an analysis of that phenomenon a few weeks after the election - unfortunately I can't find it now.)

NOBODY TRUSTS HILLARY. Period.

NOBODY LIKES HILLARY. Period.

They vote for her because the agree with her politics, unlike Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, truly personable and likeable people. And those two likely got a lot more votes because of that. Hillary will never get those types of votes - with Hillary, you vote for the policies, not the person.

Hillary has been a public figure for 25 years. A mere $100,000 spent on Facebook ads fully 24 years into her public life didn't change an entire nation's opinion about her.

Hillary was probably the ONLY Democrat who could lose to a blowhard like Trump. The only reason she won the Democratic nomination in the first place was because she'd bought off the entire Democratic Party apparatus, and after Obama surprised her in Democratic the caucuses in 2008, HIllary had her thugs in place to squash Bernie in Iowa.

Seriously - if you could pick any one Democrat to be President, would Hillary REALLY be your first choice?

They really aren't.

If any of you knew how to read a 10K and actually looked into Tesla's finances, you'd realize that given their latest junk bond offering and negative cash flow, they are incapable of ever making a profit. It's losses all the way folks, until the inevitable reorg.

And yet, their stock trades at $345.10 a share, and their market cap is $57.59 billion.

Another company that doesn't make a profit: Amazon. Shorting them too? Good luck with that.

I personally think the entire concept of bounties and crowd sourcing your QA is utter stupidity and pretty frickin lazy and irresponsible.

I think perhaps you missed the part where Google is offering bounties for vulnerabilities in other companies' apps. Google's QA has no responsibility for these apps, so your argument is off target. Also, your terminology is a little off: QA is usually the organization responsible for functional testing and validation. Vulnerability prevention and discovery usually falls to a dedicated security team. QA and security skills are quite different.

That said, Google absolutely does offer bounties for bugs in its own software, up to $200,000 in the case of Android. Actually, I think the true maximum is a little higher than that, since reporters can get a little more if they provide patches and tests. In addition, Android does have a good-sized security team, including an organization focused on finding vulnerabilities.

Why both? Why do bounties and have an internal team? Because neither approach alone is as effective as both together. Any organization that really cares about the security of its products must do both -- and more; there's a third approach that is also needed. Let me explain why all three are important.

First, the internal team matters because they bring something to the table that no outsider can: long-term focus. Especially with respect to large systems, it's very difficult for someone who researches many different products to develop really deep knowledge of any one of them. Essentially, the internal team provides breadth of focus across all security aspects of the product.

Second, the external vulnerability researchers are important because they provide breadth of focus on attack techniques. Many of the external researchers are academics. Their focus is on devising some clever new way to break systems, or some especially effective way to automate old ways of breaking systems, and so their goal is to apply their technique to a wide variety of products. Bug bounties ensure that they turn their techniques on your product, and that they take the next step to do the work necessary to really prove that the vulnerability they found can be attacked, so you don't waste a lot of time trying to fix theoretical issues.

There's no way to hire all of the world's security researchers, and even if you could, it wouldn't make sense. These guys focus on new techniques, so while you want them to put a little effort into your product, you don't want to pay them full time.

The third group of people you want attacking your product is contract penetration testers. You can (and should!) have your internal team doing penetration testing, but they risk developing tunnel vision. Bringing in outside experts provides an infusion of fresh ideas (like the academic researchers) and the fact that you're paying a nice contract fee provides focus. Thus, they provide a blend of the benefits of external and internal research.

The combination of these three things is dramatically more effective than any one of them.

"The greatest threat facing the USA is the irony inherent in our current defense posture, like for example planning to use nuclear energy embodied in missiles to fight over oil fields that nuclear energy could replace. This irony arises in part because the USAâ(TM)s current security logic is still based on essentially 19th century and earlier (second millennium) thinking that becomes inappropriate applied to 21st century (third millennium) technological threats and opportunities. That situation represents a systematic intelligence failure of the highest magnitude. There remains time to correct this failure, but time grows short as various exponential trends continue."

And Home Power magazine. https://www.homepower.com/

Solar energy has been more and more effective in ever broader niche uses which drove its growth for decades (as Home Power magazine and others predicted years ago) -- from satellites, to calculators, to homes ten miles off-grid, to generator replacements for temporary traffic lights, to one mile-off-grid homes, to on-grid homes. Finally now that grid parity has been widely reached and it is becoming foolish in most places to install anything but solar PV for electricity generation, now everyone wakes up to what has been going on. Although even now their remain deniers here and there (as in that slashdot post linked above).

=== The bigger picture: general exponential trends across multiple technologies

As I noted in the 2000 post I made, the same exponential changes in technological capacity that drive cheaper PV also apply in other areas -- even for cheaper nuclear energy (whether from uranium, thorium or hot/cold fusion). But for the same reasons most people ignored the PV trends, most people ignore these other trends.

I have absolutely zero clue about what goes into commentating on a game of Go, other than the scoring rules are weird. You've got a point about people being lead into scenarios where they give funny commentary, there are real differences between AI and human players. I imagine it's the difference between how one naturally walks and how neural nets learn to walk. But eventually it reaches an optimum solution, which is how converging evolution happens. Like how whale (a mammal) fins look a lot like shark (a fish) fins.
