The violence from the crack epidemic wasn't because people were using crack (crackheads don't commit a ton of murders, really) it was because there was sort of a "land grab" for new crack dealers resulting in a lot of turf wars until the situation stabilized and/or communities got fed up by the gang violence.

The reason why the crack epidemic reasoning makes more sense as a causitive agent is because violent crime didn't simply go down in the '90s as leaded gasoline was phased out. Rather, crime increased dramatically in the '80s and early '90s before peaking and falling. That doesn't match either the profile of lead exposure nor the population of the folks who typically commit violent crimes (sub 30 year old males). In fact, there was a peak of violent crime among 14-24 year olds as a percentage of that population group that matches the onset of the crack epidemic perfectly but does not match lead exposure or socio-economic status well at all.

Here's a good graph that highlights just that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_Stat...

The figures there back up the premise that there was a wave of new and exceptional violence caused by young gang bangers fighting in the streets over the crack business.

Seriously, if it involves the U.S. federal government, information about it will be easy to find. You don't need to guess or assume, just do a few simple searches.

edit: Well, not all of it, but the structure of the Fed isn't exactly a national secret.
Worrying about whether you're doing it right or wrong is much more of a failure than using an unfocussed screen and gentle music/sounds.

If you're good, you should be able to successfully meditate whatever is going on around you. I can (just about) do it on the tube (subway) during my commute.
As the actual editor isn't publicly available in any form, this isn't exactly a "leak".
The classic apps actually work perfectly at their original resolution, or higher in places if they used Apple APIs for things like text.

Oh, the irony.
That's just brilliant, and now I think about it, I wonder why no other newer languages have adopted this. I wish this to be the new norm of 2020's.
They might have had more evidence that the story didn't claim, but just saying "Our records show Joe Fakename is the guy in the photo, you must be lying." Doesn't actually disprove the guy's claim that the photo was stolen.
The same way everyone else does, from TSMC.
My recent-ish Thinkpad (T470) didn't give me much, if any trouble with hibernation on Linux. I can reliably use it to switch operating systems (dual-boot with Windows 10) without losing the state of either OS. I've had rare occasions where the presence of certain USB devices caused it to resume unexpectedly, but that's the only issue.
It totally f—ks up handling of quotes though. I just cannot stand it, personally.

These days, on Windows, I use the Colemak layout, which has a alt-` meta-combo to type common accented letters - I assign that to caps-lock+A with AutoHotKey, and “Bob est ton oncle”.
Is it? I use Hibernate every single day on my EndeavourOS laptop, and I didn't have to configure anything. It perfectly as far as I can tell.

IANAL. This is not legal advice. This is me spitballing in hopes of helping you figure out where and how to get answers.

Open Source contributions may fall under volunteer work and this may be the easier thing to work with. It probably cannot be for a for profit business though. Check state laws. Talk with a lawyer.

You say his father reached out to you for a sort of mentor/apprenticeship. This might fall under the definition of interning.

Is the child homeschooled? Would the father be counting this as part of the child's educational portfolio?

If so, this might fall under interning for academic credit.

The devil is in the details. These are a few details you might explore to try to help you sort out a solution that is both legal and ethical.

Best of luck.
Github should warn you how many other repositories are named "PANDA" when you try to name a repository that.

(edit: looks like this PANDA has been around since 2012, so i guess it's one of the earlier ones)
Although I'm not a fan of the left-offset main keyboard and trackpad (I'd prefer leaving out the numeric keypad section), it looks really nice otherwise.
As an Android dev, I concur, native apps are the ones developed with the platform sdk.

Agreed, totally asinine. Carriers tend to acquire each other along protocol boundaries. Verizon acquired Alltel, which was a predominantly CDMA2000 company. In addition, T-Mobile's network is predominantly urban, which is already well-covered by the existing larger carriers. They generally acquire carriers that are in areas for which they don't have coverage. Further:

* T-Mobile has been adding customers while Sprint has been losing them year over year. Just check their investor relations sites, it's in their quarterly report.

* T-Mobile has won ALL of the J.D. Power & Associates customer service awards for 5 years running.

* T-Mobile is the only nationwide carrier offering unsubsidized post-paid phone plans in the US. This can save up to $50/mo off of AT&T or Verizon.

* T-Mobile's data networks are not congested like AT&T's are. In addition, T-Mobile was the first US carrier to add HSPA+, which can achieve speeds that are at par with WiMAX in real world conditions.

* T-Mobile has never competed against the big three on coverage or phones. They compete on customer service and value.
Sure, like I said, if your goal is just idle curiosity and a desire to learn, that's fine. But it's kind of moving the goalposts to frame that as "creating a programming language" rather than "fruitlessly messing around with the science and techniques behind programming languages."
Sprint thought they knew what they were doing. On paper it sounded like a match made in heaven. They would scoop up Nextel's cash cow subscribers, and migrate them to CDMA. They made a big mistake when they migrated Boost mobile prepaid customers to iDEN shortly after the merger, maxing out the capacity of the existing Nextel towers and alienating Nextel subscribers. They ended up having to invest in additional 1800 iDEN towers nationwide to keep up, but they still ended up losing millions of subscribers. I believe a lot of those fleet contracts switched to Verizon, but the feds still use Nextel.

No one has suggested this so far, strangely enough: start with content. Aim to become the place for excellent news, interviews, videos, etc. about anything space related. Or, go a fictional route - if George Lucas / Lucas Films wanted to get into actual, real space travel or space products, he's in an excellent position to do so. The brand is related and they've got billions to spend. I would bet that this happens sometime in the next ±100 years - imagine Disney having a Star Wars theme park in space. And you certainly don't need to be as successful as Lucas to build a fictional brand around space - even a smaller company could make space products if it has an audience.

How to start from scratch: build up an audience, relationships with industry members, and an overall familiarity with the marketplace and potential opportunities. Develop a product, sell it to your audience, hire smart people, rinse and repeat. Your starting costs are basically zero, assuming you know how to write/create content.
Yeah, that's my worry as well. Hopefully the fact that people have to pay will curb that a bit, but yeah, I'm worried about it.
Do you have any suggestions to improve dating apps?
I ended up buying my own Office subscription when I was working at a startup as Numbers was so hell inducing (and CEO refused to buy any equipment to help with the work...).

Keynote is interesting and I've seen some consultants use it for sprint planning really effectively, but Numbers is an utter clusterf*ck.
i mean it does solve that problem of excess of messages, but i think as a woman or man you would want the app to give you the best possible match or through some "magic" find someone who you might not have found through conventional means, not just the person who paid the most.
I can see where you're coming from, but I think in practice this is not a great idea. Even if it's not intentional, it's not going to be great publicity when you have an app that shows different women with different price tags.

I imagine it's not great either if, on current dating apps, the number of messages women receive becomes public information. The problem here is less that different women cost different prices to message. The problem is that it's visible. If you can overcome this there might be some merit to the idea. This is just me being open-minded though. It still feels like an icky idea.
Who said anything about a few classes?

How does using Ktor preclude one from using anything you just described?

Lol just using Koin alone would bring every thing you just described, with the added benefit of not delving into XML files.

Really some people are just married to the mentality of "If it's not on the feature list, I guess you can't do it". I believe in using focused tools that excel at specific things. Ktor lets you do that.
Sounds like you are getting angry about something that didn’t happen. The NYT simply reported on something that happened and did a good job framing her as a human- not a horribly racist monster or whatever.

Would you prefer the press just didn’t inform you of such going’s on?
It seems from the way you worded that that you actually preferred Android for the freedom aspect (I do as well). Why did you jump ship, if I may ask?

(I understand wanting to use new iOS-only apps like Clubhouse, and for that I just have a really old test iPhone that i got second hand that I use just for that purpose only until those apps come out with Android versions.)
Is there an error on the second page where it says:

"This clearly converges for all t>=0, and our aim is to evaluate G(0)."

It clearly converges for all t>0, and it would be reasonable to do limit analysis, but I don't quite see how we could say it "clearly converges" for >=.
At best, this would take some market share from the low-end of Android phones. Apple's market is at the high end, so I doubt Apple would even notice it.
We should ban the credit reporting agencies. Lenders should simply consult court judgements regarding unpaid loans, and bank statements.

People say having the courts settle legal disputes is too expensive. We’re paying multiple percentage points sales tax to credit card companies to establish a credit rating. Surely, that money would be better invested in a public, impartial court system.
I think that Tim Cook is telling the truth and that he has genuine reputation:

> Tim Cook calls out Facebook's business model, says it leads to 'violence,' 'polarization'

This statement seems to stand on its own, without a need for "proof". If the business model itself leads to this, the conclusion is that the internal conversations about protecting that model also lead to violence and/or polarized thinking. If we look at the alleged occurrence, we can then draw a conclusion without the need for "reputation". There's also the manifesto.
It's probably quite interesting to him, and also he has an incredible amount of power in a way that other billionaires do not.
I bet your use of passive-aggressive condescension wins all your arguments for you, and wins you the respect of all your peers.

Now, if you said that 35 isn't half a lifetime, and that he'll be about 60 when he gets out, how doesn't that minimize the focus on the effect those 35 years of incarceration actually have on Manning? Were you just so insensitive an engineer that you felt the cold, literal correction was somehow benefiting the conversation?
At 60% ? I would love to know the credit card that makes this a profitable enterprise.

It's AdNauseam. I would use it if I wasn't afraid of Google terminating my Google Account, which I heavily depend on, for now.

>AdNauseam is like conventional ad-blocking software, but with an extra layer. Instead of just removing ads when the user browses a website, it also automatically clicks on them. By making it appear as if the user is interested in everything, AdNauseam makes it hard for observers to construct a profile of that person. It’s like jamming radar by flooding it with false signals. And it’s adjustable. Users can choose to trust privacy-respecting advertisers while jamming others. They can also choose whether to automatically click on all the ads on a given website or only some percentage of them.
I've found the Win9x support spotty at best. It hangs indefinitely when installing IE5 and the internet tools suite, for instance.

And where do you get the cash? This scheme is part of how you convert illegitimate money (usually stolen CCs in the case of eCommerce) into cash.

You set up a bank account and amazon seller account you control in someone else's name. Then you use your stolen CCs to buy the "book" from yourself thereby converting credit card details into money in an account you control. From there you can get the money out in a multitude of ways (or launder it again through the same or another method) depending on your risk tolerance.

Yeah, that is a huge problem with elance, etc.

Two things I've been thinking about

1) Invite only referral system - You only get in if someone vouches for you -- keeps quality up, probably keeps your cost up as well, if you want bottom of the barrel you go to one of the other places.

2) If it ends up being completely open, then people can sort by third-party signals (github followers, stackoverflow karma, quora karma, linkedin connections, etc.)

Thanks for taking the survey!

I wonder if there's a market for "premium mirrors" ...
One of the better books on the topic of 'chip music' for me was Hal Chamberlin's "Musical Applications of Digital Microprocessors" [1]. What was more interesting to me was that I used his fixed point fractional scheduling algorithm to write an I/O scheduler for disks that would allow you to portion out I/O to different processes (or containers) by an arbitrary percentage of the disk channel's bandwidth.

It's good that people are drawing attention to the dark patterns, but not enough outrage is directed at Intuit's lobbying efforts. For most people, the tax situation is simple enough and the IRS has enough info from informational returns to estimate your tax liability. Intuit among others have been fighting against the simplification of the system.
Spectacle is also pretty nice. I've used it for as long as I have been developing on macOS.
That's the original key mapping, yeah, but it's very easy to change in the software it comes with. I immediately re-mapped it so that the escape key works by itself.

You can change literally any key mapping you like, and do some wild stuff with it. I've got shortcuts for taking different types of screenshots mapped to key combos that are easy to reach, for example, because I take tons of screenshots for work.
I recently wondered if a library like `smol_str` will be upstreamed one day. I feel people would rejoice if they can use stack-allocated strings (up to a certain size).

Do you think that's possible?
> ...making money less able to purchase power

I'm not sure this is possible without breaking the entire concept of money. So long as money is a thing humans trade their time for to pay for living expenses and beyond, it can be used to bribe, coerce, etc.
I think this would be a valid argument if significant money wouldn't also come with significant power in the modern day and age. As soon as there is significant wealth inequality, there is also a significant power inequality, with a small number of people determining the fate of the rest of the world. Surely this isn't good?
Its less verbose than Go. Fact.
Even the loss of institutional knowledge can degrade the safety of a system over time.

Ever had to start maintaining a codebase after the greybeard who made it retired? Did you have any documentation to go off of? Anyone remaining in the company regard it as anything other than a production critical black box?

Now imagine that codebase is an industrial process, with 20 years of growth, add-ons, changes. Probably some mismatching control systems, and god only knows if the as-builts or red line plans for the additions are all correct or rectified with each other..
>And yet what am I going to do but use turbo tax again. The perceived risk and effort of using a non-automated system to fill them out doesn't seem worth the cost.

I'd suggest FreeTaxUSA.com as an alternative. Federal is always free, and state taxes are ~12/state. I don't have anything obscure about my taxes, and their forms indicate they can handle much more complicated situations than I have. I've used them for 3 years now, with no issues.

I will say their system is a bit clunky. I feel like I get in loops sometimes where I go through already filled in information and wish I could just jump to the next section. I wish they would give me more questions on each page so I can better understand how a response to one question filters through down the line.

They said it's still working, so seems like its lifetime is greater than 10 years.

First, Apple bought all of these technologies, including their patents, shutting off the competition from using them. This is of course a sad fact.

Second, all this precise machinery to come up with a watch that looks clunky, and nothing compared to a good vintage Swiss watch. It seems they are doing something fundamentally wrong.

But despite all of this, the technology itself remains very cool, of course.

As an American who has lived in an ex-Soviet state, I always cringe now when someone points out how Western governments are the same or somehow comparable. Getting pulled over by the police for no real reason at all except to get shaken down is a real eye opener. At least in the US you can go to a police officer for help and have a reasonable expectation of getting it.

One of the first questions my wife asked me when were were thinking of starting a business in the US was who we had to pay to make sure nothing bad happened.
I always find it interesting that the word "heretic" comes from Greek meaning "able to choose".
Maybe a PS3 botnet would be more powerful, but does it matter? The article itself pointed out two problems (MiTM and DDOS) which would be equally efficient on PS3 or 360. Forget Xbox 360 altogether, if we can break into an update server wouldn't Windows Update be the better target? 350M Windows 7 licenses alone, talk about a botnet. Having different hardware doesn't make a difference.

Edit: I realize none of this this easy, I'm just trying to play devils advocate regarding the glossed over "If they then compromised the PSN update servers...".
When I first read about the Chaos Monkey, I had assumed it was used on their development/staging environment, but this article implies it is on their production system. Does anyone know which is correct?
You're right, they provide a verifiable testament of the creator's will as to who should have ownership rights over the IP, which is enough to provide ownership rights in many contexts.
