  • This article has a hard paywall, so I found another source.

    According to this article it seems the impact was limited because it only effected the most recent Debian server release. So the issue was limited, discovered quickly, and easily fixed.

    The recent windows issues was extensive for all windows machines, discovered after massive outages, and difficult to fix.

    I'm not sure this is a win for Linux, but there a number of decisions that CrowdStrike made that failed to live up to the trust issue by WHQL certification.

    I think that this didn't have the same extent for Linux is pure luck.

  • He uses liquid detergent in his extensive example and regularly has the bottle feature alongside a box of powder.

    The big difference between liquid and powder is powder allows for two different cleaning agents whereas if they both are in a liquid, they react with each other. He doesn't bring this up in the video, but I think he mentions it in another one.

  • To be considered a threat under 18 U.S.C. § 871, the statement must meet certain criteria:

    Objective Test: Would a reasonable person interpret the statement as a serious expression of intent to harm or kill the President?

    Subjective Component: Was the threat made with some degree of intent, seriousness, or purpose?

  • It is most certainly not a small sample size. It's what allows for a margin of error of ±3.5%* at the 95% confidence level. Here's a graph of the margin of error vs sample size for 95% confidence interval.

    With an 11 point margin, there's a clear separation of the upper limit bar for Trump and lower limit bar for Obama. For a single poll, assuming the rest of it was well designed and executed, this is an important spread. And the reasons are obvious if you look at the report. She's able to get 10% more Democratic support and 20% more independent voter support.

    Ipsos is a high quality polling company. They don't make rookie mistakes like sample size. There may be other reasons beyond my reasoning that make this a bad use of polling, but sample size is not it.

    The source incorrectly reported the margin of error for the full survey, both registered and unregistered participants.

  • This quote from the article really hits home:

    Afterward, his aides would try to explain that he had been sick. He had seen two doctors before the debate. He had a fever, a virus. He wasn't himself.

    But while he may have been sick, he was himself. That was the problem.

  • You're using rationality to defend your behavior instead of connecting emotionally around a fundamentally emotional issue. This doesn't mean that her behavior was justified either, but rationality will only get you so far in solving this problem. Arguably, there's an intimate and emotional reason you're together. If you're both not engaging in protecting and growing that first, then you'll end in a you vs her situation.
