I’m not a criminal prosecutor or lawyer nor do I live in the jurisdiction this was tried under.

However, I would wager that the CEO would have to have intentionally and actively cooperated with the criminal act; merely benefiting from it indirectly by running the corporation is insufficient. Hence they indicted the corporation which is directly benefiting.

Even if the CEO was aware and conspiring the prosecutor would still need to prove it. They may not have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

All that being said it is possible prosecution was pro-corporate biased and refused to burn down a company. I am not discounting that possibility. Regardless it is difficult to win convictions so it is also plausible this is the best win prosecution believed it could get.
>The 737 MAX might be cheap, but it's not 25-30 year old plane cheap.

That makes sense. However a newer plan also has a longer expected usage and likely lower fuel and maintenance cost.

So looking at absolute cost only doesn't really make sense.

Presumably Amazon crunched the numbers though
Posts that masquerade as “legitimate dissenting opinions just not getting a fair shake from the left by golly” but which really seek to undermine structures by which systemic racism can possibly be called out and held accountable for harm (like the framework of microaggressions) deserve to be flagged and shut down. They don’t serve any free speech or intellectual honesty purpose to preserve discourse and the psychological safety to disagree, and they are roundly disingenuous tools for filibustering actual legit discourse and progress. It’s just taking crass tools of hate groups and dressing them up with five dollar words and armchair discussion of academic freedom of expression, when really it’s just hostile noise jamming against progress.
I didn't mean an axe to grind against this guy, necessarily, I meant in regards to this whole politically-charged sideshow.

And "anonymous presidential aide says X" is always a political axe-grinding act. Those people don't just say things without an agenda. Historically, it's either someone testing a messaging line with prez approval or an act of factional warfare within the administration to try and shape the narrative.
I'm not disagreeing. Great managers are needed, and can still be great managers in a remote team.
One has to love these fake dichotomies where both "sides" suck. Where's the school of thought advocating for demand commensurate with what people can actually use, and that aims to require only as much labor as required to fulfill that? Probably not getting any phone calls from the economic schemers in Washington.
From what I can tell, spam calls are mostly war dialing. Some of them are actually going sequentially, my spouse's number is about 400 away from mine, and sometimes she gets the same automated call minutes after me.
Wild idea: crowdfunded impact investing through monetized social gaming — plant 10,000 virtual trees and we'll plant one IRL.
Essentially, yes. In other words, I wouldn't endorse their line of argument or discussion, but I also wouldn't use it to dismiss the point being argued.
Worthwhile exercise: write a model statute that would stop the practice, then work through it's implications.

(Not for nothing, but the sentiment you're expressing here is how I got my start in security; I continue to agree wholeheartedly with it).
I understand, but every time I get handed one of these it's because someone who didn't know what they were doing was rapid prototyping something and woops they have 200 hundred users and it's crashing, it's corrupting data, etc...

At one job I'm like "people, just use Access, it's installed on your computer" and they look at me like I'm talking dark wizardry shit with their fingers itching on their pitchforks because they don't know if I'm going to eat their babies.

Arrrrgh!
One nice thing about Lua coroutines is that they are "stackful". You don't need to chain "yields" all the way up the call stack (like Python's "yield from") so its possible to create functions that work with both sync and async callbacks.

function mapList(xs, f)
local ys = {}
for i=1,#xs do
ys[i] = f(xs[i])
end
return ys
end

mapList({10, 20, 30}, function(x)
return db.fetch(x)
end)

In JS you can't use async functions inside of Array.prototype.map. You need to use a separate async-aware method from your favorite async library instead.
$100k might be a big bet or a small bet for him, depending on what his net worth is. In any case, he's probably not betting his IRA on this, so I'm not sure the amount really matters beyond getting people to pay attention.
This post scares me in the way that most bitcoin journalism does. There is no shortage of press talking about the start ups themselves (as opposed to the state of the capital markets). For many people, the state of the markets really does matter. If if you're looking to raise capital, it helps to know that these are historically favorable times. If you're looking to invest, it's important to consider whether things may be overheated. This article advocates silence (I'm tired of hearing about [insert topic]). This head in the sand talk is alarming in the same way that it's scary to hear people say "I'm tired of people saying that bitcoin is a pump and dump scam". Generally, it's a bad sign when a viewpoint is suppressed. Having lived through the dot-com bust (in which my father's "bubble" talk fell upon deaf ears) and the subsequent housing bubble in which people were similarly dismissive of "negative" voices, I'm wary of this rhetorical style.
The ultimate sidejacking opportunity, other unencrypted data notwithstanding. Sites with a proper SSL implementation seem more attractive each day.
I always thought a cracker (beyond the food and ethnic slur definitions) was someone who removed copy protection from software. So, in WarGames, David would have been considered a hacker, but the guys you see in the splash screens of shared old computer games were crackers. Even if that isn't the formal definition, my guess is that is the most common connotation associated with that definition of cracker.
Thanks! I'm not a Zerg player (I'm Terran), but I thought this insight by Day9 about Zerg was excellent. I'll try to keep it in mind while playing against Zerg. Sometimes moving out and then retreating can be enough to make a Zerg over-react.
wins the race as in, how linux wins over microsoft when it comes to servers since hardware is not the issue.

Article states that Woz thinks that current non iphone smartphone hardware is already better than iphones. Once android software catches up, which he predicts will soon, it will have "won" the race. The race of which OS has the most installs.
That's what happens when Google releases their own console killer.
For that price difference you can add a GPU.
Ha! I like how these hypothetical complaints contradict each other...
There's the Hurricane Electric IPv6 Tunnel Broker:

https://tunnelbroker.net/

>Our free tunnel broker service enables you to reach the IPv6 Internet by tunneling over existing IPv4 connections from your IPv6 enabled host or router to one of our IPv6 routers.

(It's still obviously less direct, and inferior to your ISP supplying native IPv6, but it may improve your situation.)
On the contrary, Ruby and it's community feels off-topic.
I also question that functional programming is Groovy's prime feature or use case.
And you make less industrialized, more labor intensive forms of producing eggs or milk more economical than higher industrialized, lower labor forms.
demo request:

I want a demo where the user can control a soft body ball such that the ball is comprised of chain segments, connected with string constant k. The pressure of the ball would be calculated depending on the area enclosed by the chain's polygon and would be applied to each segment equally, to the outwards side. Controls would be left/right as a simple added force to all segments of the ball. Jump would be increased air amount (target surface area) and crouch would be decreased k. In my imagination, the ball would be low friction and would grow throughout the game, to take on bigger adversaries.

(Sharing it here cause I didn't get to code it in years but I would really love to see if the control would work.)
Still broken - makes it effectively unusable.

I'd be really interested to know - what do you actually test for before you push a new version? Do you have a checklist, or do you just push your latest version and see what people complain about?
I really like to know why you were downvoted, because I made the same observations you did and basically came to the same conclusion. I'd add the really bad IDE support. I've met some developers that said the only thing that kept them from leaving Groovy was that Grails and Spock are really great and worth the trouble. Other than that I see Groovy's future more as a glue language and as a language for tools. Which I'd find very unfortunate because I like Groovy's simplicity & flexibility as a JVM language.
Straightforward, yes. Straightforward enough to write a blog post explaining step by step for someone new to the field.
Kobo even offers a waterproof[0] e-reader, which is better than any paper book.

Similar things exist in the US. They sell dyed fuels tax-free (or at a lower rate, I forget). You can apparently also claim a tax refund if you use taxed fuel for farm purposes.

Huh, that's no good. Can you email me (address is in profile) and I'll see what's going on?
In the US the home office deduction only applies if you are self-employed, which is really stupid because a lot of people needed to move into bigger apartments during 2020 to be efficient at remote work.
Smaller punishments with more tickets would still mean having to deal with paying a ticket, which is often more annoying than a small fine.

I think moving the goalposts and changing the rules from "any speeding gets you a fine" to "excessive speeding always gets you a fine and lesser speeding can be grounds for an ad-hoc fine by a present officer (who would explain how speeding was dangerous in that particular situation)". It would hopefully get rid of the feeling that unaccountable machines are preying on our missteps while allowing reasonable police officers to discipline unsafe drivers. You could still of course have police who are just out to annoy others, but I'm not sure that something new ticketing laws can fix.
Remember what the device is replacing though...

Expensive eInk device vs... paper.

Even if it is more convenient, you are still competing with the price of paper. iPads at least have multiple functions, but a set of eInk screens for music are pretty specialized.
Specifying the columns you want also allows you to create indexes that have the data you need as part of the index.

Select “a” from “b” where “c” = 1;

With a composite index on c and a allows you to fetch everything you need without even looking at the table.
Replacing the compiler on a distro is not a simple task and it has system wide consequences that make it very undesirable for continued system stability.

Yes, you can try compiling everything static and then distributing the fat binary. It might work on most systems. But if it's dynamically linked then it'll fail with libc++ errors locally (local libc++ not having c++$latest support).
It sounds like Microsoft hack happened before Solarwinds.

Yes, this function exists in some fashion in every grid (although the economic setup of how you're paid for that service differs widely).

The problem in ERCOT is demand massively exceeding available supply over a period of days. You need to carry your primary operating reserve all the time, because you never know when a generator or transmission line may trip.

When there's simply a lack of energy supply to meet demand on a steady state basis, you still have to preserve your primary reserves for other unexpected events and cannot call them in to meet longer term (30+ minutes) demand. So load shedding happens once available reserve dips below a certain threshold (generally around the single of the largest single contingency on the grid which may be the largest single generator or a line that feeds multiple large generators).

ERCOT hasn't run out of primary reserve, but they are going to have to shed load in order to maintain adequate reserves. You always have to shed load before exhausting reserves, because one moves you closer to stability while the other moves you further away (consuming operating reserve).

At this point, with power prices spiking to thousands of dollars per MWh, any plant that can run is running, including some that have come out of planned outage earlier to help out (and be paid handsomely). Even if you simply invoked some emergency order that "all generators must run until further notice", there simply isn't enough capacity due to the large number of generators on forced outage. There's no way out of that situation except temporary load shedding.
Full disclosure - I am Lincoln, one of the developers working on AmpliPi.
“ This style of house made so that people can feel rich and high status while wasting enormous amounts of energy to heat and cool is an affront to our future generations.”

Wow dude. You decided why people want specific things and let us know that it’s an affront to future generations. I’m glad it tops the list over deep sea drilling, paved suburban road jungles, ocean acidification, and dubstep (they will look back and mourn the loss of our sanity in this age, but it’s so addictive...).

Maybe people just walk into a tall place and feel more comfortable in it? Maybe builders and markets respond to purchasers and their response to something that lots of people find more comforting?

Perhaps a hyper efficient off-grid renewable-driven earthen hovel isn’t for everyone?

I live in a small, modest, low ceiling home with zoned temperature management and comprehensive energy usage monitoring. That’s great for me and my family, but it’s a preference.

And, you know what? Open plan high ceilings are nice, especially when you don’t have kids and can hear each other more easily.
I have multi multi-core machines, so I run seti@home as well as a (much larger timeshare of) rosetta@home. I agree that disease research has a much more probable impact, but the implications of a successful SETI search are not trivial either.

I also run Einstein@home, and world community grid.
That has been my issue with Dotcloud too, when it works its fine - when it breaks its really difficult to debug. It feels more restricted than the Heroku environment too, so even if I do know what's wrong it can't be fixed.
That's quite a stretch. Amazon is not the sole seller of any of it's goods, and calling hand sanitizer essential for national security would not go over well...
Economic sanctions might work as a sudden shock action.

Long-term sanctions are likely futile. There's a point at which the domestic economy compensates. They buy from other players, they learn to do without, they grumble and suck it up, but it doesn't evoke a reaction anymore. I also suspect the tendency to roll them out as "we're sanctioning 13 specific people in the cabinet and their companies" in waves until we finally actually impact everyday civilians doesn't help-- it's basically saying "brace for impact" to the population.

I suspect there's an entire generation or more of Cubans and Iranians who just grew up assuming "this is our economic normal" and don't really see it as a direct call to action of "if you'd be so kind as to remove your leadership, we'd buy your products."

Now, if you spend as much time as possible getting nations to build and maintain deep economic ties with each other, THEN pulling the plug suddenly and boldly, can have an impact. There's more disruption and a clear inflection point.

I also suspect that a lot of civilians view sanctions as non-actionable because there are usually limited and absurd requirements for them to be lifted. I can't imagine, for example, any way Cuba or the DPRK gets out of sanctions without explicitly discharging their current leadership. At best, that's intrusive and insulting to a sovereign nation; at worst it's cheering on civil war and strife. The Iran nuclear deal, before it imploded, was a potential breakthrough here-- we gave them tangible, realistic milestones that could be achieved without a coup, and honoured the commitment.
These days, when most of the founders are willing to cash out at an early exit, it doesn't make much sense economically to work in a startup(unless you are part of founding team with good equity). Ofcourse, work at a startup will be definitely more interesting on average (because there is not much legacy code to maintain and processes in place to slow things down), but its not hard to find interesting work in a big co. And the best part is you can work regular hours with relatively better benefits and job security and spend your personal time working on your own ideas. This way it maximizes both the economical and work related satisfaction IMO :)
Yeah I have seen the preview function, it definitely is pretty handy!
That bugs me less than being able to exclude features that I don't want, especially popular ones. I can not think of a single store that allows me to exclude things using the same set of filters.

For example, let's say I want bluetooth-less headphones. Simply selecting "wired" isn't enough as it will show me headphones that support both wired and wireless capabilities. Sometimes I don't want a feature, even a popular one, and it's extremely tedious to wade through results of stuff I will never want.
What if my government bans Bitcoin? Wouldn't that ruin the whole picture? It feels like an unrelagated market, waiting to be regulated
The law has teeth. It just appears that the regulators aren't chewing.
Based on the generated code, you may need to broaden the definition of "binary" to include anything that is executable (shell script.)
As an example, the DomTerm (https://domterm.org) terminal emulator supports multiple front-ends, including a webview wrapper, an Electron wrapper, a QtWebEngine wrapper, starting Chrome in --app mode, or just using your browser. The webview wrapper works pretty well, but it is not as polished as the Electron or Qt wrappers. One issue is it relies on a JavaScript library (https://github.com/PerBothner/jsMenus) for menus, which works reasonably well, but has some downsides, including not integrating with the Mac menu bar.

An alternative to WebView is WxWidgets, which also uses the "system" browser engine, but also has a menu API, which webview (currently) doesn't.

WebView development seems to go in spurts. Recently there has been a mini-spurt, after quiet for half a year. It could definitely do with more love.
The vast majority of the time it's a one or two click process. A few sites require you to log in to change your email preferences, but they're few and far between.

The one exception I can think of off the top of my head is MTV Networks, who got a hold of my email somehow and won't stop spamming me, even after I've unsubscribed at least a dozen times.
Surely someone who builds an 86 meter wide telescope is able to spend a few bucks on image processing software, that even today's hand held mobile devices could do in real time...
trustix linux, I'm sure there are others, used to do this. It was kind of annoying when installing servers because you were never quite sure of the exact versions of the selected packages, and I had a few regularly diverging servers that caused some minor problems.
RedHat also pays two people full time to work on JRuby, and Oracle Labs pays two people full time (including me) and a PhD student, and more soon.
Why is it appropriate to compare the worst case for various methods of power generation? I think it's more appropriate to weigh the potential failure cases of each by the probability of them occurring, and I suspect if we did that, nuclear wouldn't be the most harmful method of power generation.
If you were in a similar situation, would you not try to mentally note as many details as possible? Especially if something came of it, you would want to remember as much as possible about the cops who interrogated you, what they asked, etc.
Static engines:
* Do one thing _good_ (i.e. blog)
* Fewer lines of code, which means:
* Easier to maintain
* Easier to read
* Easier to customize using small chunks of raw code

Dynamic engines:
* Do many things (i.e. having multiple authors, multiple formats, visual editors, plugins, etc.)
* Many more (as in x^5) lines of code, which means:
* * Harder to maintain
* * Easier to use for _non programmers_
* * Easy to customize SOME things (apply a theme), HARD to customize the whole thing properly (you need to read huge chunks of code that might break if you change them)

The above reasons make Wordpress pretty much insecure compared to a Static website (i.e. Jekyll engine like octopress). Of course you could have a bloated wordpress websites where all it's plugins are revised and secure while you could have a static website where it's running buggy JavaScript which reveals your IP to the NSA (random example pick) but the % of having a bug in a bigger (in terms of lines of code) app is way higher.
Traumatic events can leave much stronger memories, almost like they're burned in.
This is actually really common in Western States where billionaires like Ted Turner buy up massive chunks of land surrounding public Access land and then put up fences to keep people out.

Of course it's illegal and they're required to provide an easement but laws don't apply the same to billionaires
Don't you have to have a PhD to teach at most universities in the US? Not to mention someone with a masters in engineering from MIT could very well be an adjunct faculty themselves.

In nested closures you can’t use the $0 syntax, swift type inference is pretty poor compared to F# and so a lot of time I have to explicitly specify the types and the in is much less clear than => or ->. To make it even more frustrating I have to specify the @escaping attribute in a lot of methods that accept closures as an argument.
People are entitled to have access to the beach, actually.

That's sort of the point I was making though (even though I couldn't see the article, that's the story that seemed to dominate when I searched in Google).

On paper, that's "collaborating" with Isreal leading to execution (GP: "they'd risk execution for "collaboration" if they did this").

I suspect that there was a (horrible) case like this that was promoted within Israel to drive the sort of talk that I was responding to. An incident is taken out of context, rebranded and sold as normal behaviour by a demon state.

I'd like to see the articles about people in Gaza being killed for getting support from people in Israel.
It doesn't help that Nadim seems to have stopped supporting Cryptocat to focus on Peer.io instead.
Some have also said that the human language you speak has an effect on how you think, but that's pretty controversial among linguists if not altogether discredited.

I have no doubt the difference among human languages and programming languages could be completely different, but is there any concrete example you could give of an idea that is easier to express in one programming language than in another?
