Not a lawyer, but counter-intuitively I think it ends up working the other way around. Because in civil law the law itself reigns supreme and can't be "fixed" in the courts, the law must be error-free, which is why you'd generally want to write it in a vague way with room for interpretation. In common law, interpretation is equal to the letter, so lawmakers can afford to be specific without breaking stuff.
This case is misunderstood in a lot of ways. A couple of things worth noting:

- The beach up to the mean high tide line is public land by law. No one, including Khosla, disputes this.

- The sandy beach above the high tide line as well as a convenient parking lot was previously accessible to the public for a small fee. This is what Khosla wants to shut down and what Friends of Martin's Beach & The Surfrider Foundation have sued over. It seems fairly obvious to me (though perhaps not to others) that Khosla is in the right here. The private land is his. He can do what he wants with it.

- Kind of in the middle of these two issues is actual beach access. FOMB has insinuated that shutting down the parking lot and access to the sandy beach constitutes complete removal of access to the beach. This, however, isn't really clear. FOMB could very well lose their lawsuit while beach access was maintained via a small road or walking path through Khosla's property. Despite what most of the press has indicated, the actual lawsuit isn't really about this.
People who truly understand their subject should have no
trouble writing for a popular audience.

This is false for at least two reasons.

1) People who truly understand their subject know they can't write for a popular audience without handwaving, partial truths and actually getting the complexity of the subject across. They may not want to write in that way.

2) The ability to 'think like a layman', properly estimate their background and slowly build up a story that they can follow without getting lost is a skill entirely different from 'knowing your subject'. It is prepostorous to suppose every intelligent person has that skill. It's a typical case where a lot of people mistake intelligence for skill and it's insulting to (technical) writers that have actually put effort into learning how to write.

All in all, I doubt whether 10% of all people that 'truly understand their subject' can write for a popular audience.
That is probably correct. It is not like achieving citizenship is easy.
There's a webOS client that works great, but you need root (https://rootmy.tv).

They're looking to push it official via LG though.
Employees aren't paid based off the value they provide, they're paid the least the company thinks they can pay to get an acceptable worker to fill he position.
It is interesting that he can manage an essay of such length without mentioning Stendahl, whose _On Love_ isn't that hard to find--wasn't before Amazon, actually. One trusts that Ms.es Hatfield and Tennoy found room for him in the bibliography.

And what in the world might be the proposed derivation of "limerence"? Wikipedia offers no hint, though it does use the word "crystallization", which Stendahl I believe popularized in this context.
The lack of a proper layout system causes a huge number of problems, and is the reason the "tables vs. css" argument can still occasionally pop up. The nuts box model has already been mentioned.
They really need to process articles with something like Readability.
Denying where you've been ensures you repeat it. The alcoholic who cannot control himself when surrounded by alcohol is not truly cured of their alcoholism. The drink still controls them, because it directs them away from any cohabitance with alcohol.

The same with our sordid past.
As a champion of freedom of speech, you must be aware that it does not protect speech that would likely incite something like a riot, which is exactly what happened this week.
After looking over all the terms of service generators including big tech terms of service and privacy policies, I also searched for "shortest terms of service" and "shortest privacy policy" and I noticed they all have a few things in common. The issue is: The big tech companies have lawyers who write up a bunch of legal jargon.

Is it necessary? No.

Does it help these tech companies from getting sued? Yup.

I keep mine short, simple, and easy to read. I try to keep it around 10 points.

But this is basically what I've got it down to:

1. By using this product, you agree to these terms // stating your company name and the copyrights to your name (that no one can use it but you).

2. Service: what the service is and what it does.

3. Privacy policy: letting user know what info you collect, including cookies & usage.

4. Disclosure of any of that data: do you keep it for yourself or share it with third-parties?

5. GDPR-compliance and protection of the data you collect (including sharing it with government agencies if you are running a platform that might have some questionable materials, etc.)

6. Analytics: while you are talking about data, are you using any third-parties to collect data?

7. Pricing/Payment/Refunds: if you have a third-party service running the charges, they are collecting data -- so you should divulge the service you are using and also show they have a privacy policy. Or in regards to pricing --that it may be subject to change but notice will be given.

8. Changes to terms/privacy policy: letting user know that these terms may change -- if they do, you will email them or you are allowed to change them on your own without letting them know.

9. Statement about what they own when they are using their product -- for example: if your product creates something for the user, do they own that or do you still own everything or are they able to claim ownership?

10. Final statement about ensuring proper use of the product, your state's laws (you will use this product accordingly within reason of the State of California laws), etc.

There can be subcategories within these or you can create your own. But I'd rather keep the legal jargon to a minimum. Basically, the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy just shows who you are, that you are acting to the best of your ability and with good intentions with your own product and service, as well as user data, and that should anyone try to sue you -- you have some "legalities" set up to protect yourself and your own customers.

I hope this helps. It is great to use a generator, but sometimes... it's easier just to write up a quick template for all of your products and follow it.
NPR receives no federal funding. Voice of America is 100% federaly funded.
Your source is from 2011. Coal has gotten more expensive and solar much cheaper. In fact, building new, unsubsidized solar power plants is cheaper than operating an existing (and paid for) coal power plant: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/10/23/its-cheaper-to-build-....
2.9-3.8 cents per kWh for unsubsidized solar in the US.

Nigeria is closer to the equator and has lower labor costs for installation, so their solar costs will be even cheaper.
The thing I find interesting, seeing distant relations on Facebook talk about this, is that they tend to hold seemingly mutually-contradictory views and spout them in a span of minutes.

e.g. "I was there, and it was antifa dressed as Trump supporters that broke into the Capitol. We believe in law and order and would never do anything like this ..." followed by statements saying that they are going to take over buildings in DC again on January 19th.

There's something deeper here, among many of them, than simply consuming different media.
Indeed, how will he?

Those correspondents are middle-men between him and his audience, that get to choose how to portray what he actually said. That's what's so revolutionary about tools like email and websites, compared to the status quo.

Notably, during the status quo, postal mail - the main alternative that avoided middle-men - faced very little censorship. It's a felony to even open mail that isn't addressed to you in many countries, including the US: https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/is-it-illegal-...
Most image recognition neural networks use Relu activations which is just a linear output unless the input is below zero. Even sigmoids/tanh are most linear in the middle region, and weight penalties are used to keep the weights small so they stay in that region.

But it doesn't really matter what activation function you use. The paper argues that its the linear layers between the nonlinearities that are the problem.
I think the specific "product" they are referring to is Amazon's willingness to accept the authorization at a certain point and then only actually charge the card later when Kickstarter signaled that the project was funded.

I remember hearing a long time ago that Amazon wasn't particularly happy with this arrangement, and had specifically declined to offer it to Kickstarter competitors.
You don't have to rewrite anything, the old language can still die. If you're writing all your new code in X and your codebase growth is accelerating, the existing code in Y will look less and less relevant over time.
>work at stripe

That's an understatement ;)
>And not a parking lot in sight (good riddance)!

Interesting. While I haven't lived in Japan, I have spent a month there.

Obviously there aren't nearly the number of parking lots as in America, by far. But you can totally find large garages in some areas (parked in a large 7 or so story garage in Yokohama once), malls with large parking lots out in areas like Gunma, and even "hidden" garages in Tokyo (or other cities like Takasaki, even) where you pull into a little open garage area, and then there's an attendant who helps you drive the car onto a lift which is basically in the center of the building, which then "automatically" (or manually by the operator) stashes cars in a multi-level car park hidden inside the building.

Plus tons of teeny 2-car or whatever lots do exist, they're just scattered.

I realize in terms of scale that's still quite less than in America, which makes sense. But there are definitely parking lots and garages in Japan. :)
Similar to you, I'm building a part-time jobs website. https://parttime.careers

I feel that the part-time jobs trend now is like the remote jobs trend in 2007. It's still in the early days.
Found this slide deck which seems to give a reasonable high level overview:

I'd be interested to know, in a parallel universe, had you updated the device continuously through normal usage as a primary phone, whether it would be just as bricked or not. That is, did you miss some window during which its old crypto would've been replaced with new crypto?
Actually, in this case the CI/CD software would helpfully mask anything that it knew was secret, in an attempt to make the output it displayed "safe".

So to bypass that devs base64 encode the secrets (in this case the output from env) so that it is displayed and they can use it to debug that the right environment variables are set...
This is actually (in the abstract) exactly how I’ve read and understood it in FP, with the necessary added note that when you TCO without recursion you lose history for eg stack traces and debuggers.

It’s also astonishing to me that people in a position to explain even moderately complex computing ideas continue to treat recursion as somehow hard to reason about. It’s calling a function. A function that calls itself is still just a function calling another function. Two mutually recursive functions calling each other are just two functions calling two other functions. That’s so much easier to follow than state changing in a single function call.
A better mind bender is an async promise calling itself.
It really is excellent. I’m finding with YNAB, I would micro manage every detail of my money. With safe to spend, I can carve out the major expenses like rent and debt payments automatically. Basically every recurring payment and savings goal. Then you know exactly how much extra you have for miscellaneous expenses. It’s a lot less work, and has basically been on autopilot for a while. I’m worried now that micromanaging a budget would be more stressful and time-intensive.
As much as I'm impressed by the man himself, I completely agree. This glorification of war is not exactly healthy, at least not to me.

Currently living in Canada, it was Remembrance day a couple of months ago and I told some of my friends that it made me feel uncomfortable, which wasn't particularly well received. TV would show and tell about "glorious" moments of war, people would gather to remember the heroes who lost their lives or their limbs (in war, any soldier on the winning side is apparently a hero, as for the losing side...), and so on.

It's not that I don't feel bad for all those who lost something throughout wars, I honestly do and it pains me. However these traditions we have instill the idea that war is not just ok, it's something to be proud of. That having countless people on one side or the other end up as canon fodder is not just ok, it's part of the game.

The ironic beauty of History is that everybody has their own version... in the right light, and with enough time passed, it seems like any war could be the pinnacle of honor. Some wars may be necessary but I'd argue that the vast majority aren't.

This is evidence that Apple is not focused on web based organic growth. And why would/should they?

They have great marketing... mostly from the consumer.
I've never used it, but the Google Docs API fit your requirements:

It accepts doc, docx, and pdf and does export to HTML. I'm unsure about what the API rate limit is, though. The FAQs suggest that it can be raised by using a premier account.
Military Construction was 19% more in 2010 than 2009 at $24 billion [1]. Sure he nuked the F-22.. but we are still spending in 2011 $11.4B on F-35s, $5.4B on Virginia class submarine(+28%), and $3B on the Arleigh Burke class destroyer(+19%)[2]. You cannot pretend Obama isn't playing super nice with the Military-Industrial complex.

Naming a dozen good to decent things Obama has done, with or without citations, doesn't come close to dimming the fact that Obama ran on a platform of huge sweeping change toward a more rational, peaceful world--and has in fact delivered on some token items but not even touched the core issues of imperliasism, state distributed misinformation, and a corporate-government marriage (it remains to be seen if Obama's anti-lobbying bill will be followed/enforced/effective).

What bothers me isn't the name, but how the syntax looks like nothing else in HTML. At the time the idea was floated, there were a few alternatives talked about that mimicked the <video> and <audio> tags that made way more sense, and opened up for adding webp alternatives with png/jpeg fallbacks etc. It's a real shame they NIH'ed those.
What makes young wealthy tech people "overprivileged"? Where does the "over" come from? By what measure do they have "too much" money?
Does it mean that to do

self.error(~"trailing characters")

there has to be the complete allocation of enough memory to store the copy of the whole string, then copying of all characters there, only in order for the target function to be able to do "free"? If the intention of the language is to "properly" work with a lot of strings (and it should be) it would be good not to have glaring inefficiencies? Wouldn't it be a good optimization to have the free routine check if the pointer is inside of the static area and then not do anything. That way you can pass the pointer to the static area avoiding copying and also avoid freeing. And the only thing needed is that free has "static_begin" and "static_end" addresses?

There are also other possibilities -- by knowing that the heap allocated things have lower bits of addresses 0 you can mark the stuff using the lowest bits of pointers.

I know, I have maybe too low level approach. But why not, as soon as you want to be more convenient than C, you have to think low level too.

Still what I like is that at least at the moment this explicit declaration of boxing gives a nice feeling that nothing is done "behind the back" of the programmer, which is good -- the main problem of C++ is that you can't know if somebody hid something very nasty behind some plain innocent looking construct, or even what the compiler will implicitly do or won't.

EDIT-addition: Regarding "pattern" if the := would be a single token, not allowed in patterns, wouldn't it be OK then? Do you have such a valid sequence in the patterns as the combination of the single operators or whatever?
Nope, I added a viewport meta tag, and I'm not convinced it's an improvement.
That isn't nothing new to us old time TCLers.
Candy Crush likely still owns the distinction of the biggest game when it comes to on-going revenue generation. King Digital did $2.2 billion in sales last year ($586m last quarter), almost entirely on Candy Crush. Estimates put League of Legends at the $1 billion ballpark for 2014 (up from $624m in 2013).
By working most of the time and not all of the time, it is yet another layer to debug.

PyPy is great, but until it gets to replace CPython it isn't something I would advise in production.
It also nearly killed the sport. Other manufacturers responded with Group B racing monsters of their own, like the Lancia Delta S4, which were high tech prototypes only thinly disguised as road cars.

The result was exploding costs, exploding popularity (hundreds thousands of people lining the stages without the protection of normal circuit racing) and a series of deadly accidents, eventually leading to the end of the Group B category and a long decline in the sport's popularity.
This looks really quite awesome.

So you're sitting on a fairly compelling Medium competitor, and you don't want to open it up to let your users in? :-)

My suggestion? Pivot from GoodEthos and focus on leveraging the beautiful CMS you built. I don't know if you want to keep it all under your domain, Medium style, or let people pay to host on their own domain. But depending on how scalable your back-end is, and what kind of revenue you would need to sustain it, I think there are a few different price points where this should sell quite well.

For personal use, especially if you can automate setup of your own domain (e.g. just tell me where to point the A-record) I could see people paying a few bucks a month for this. For corporate, start at $99/month. More or less you could copy WPEngine pricing.

But for now, just get it out there free for the first 10,000 domains to signup or whatever. If the problem is too many users and your servers are melting, that's when you send an email to Sam at YC and your problem is solved.

Also, please add contact info to your profile.
At runtime, GADTs are actually represented the same way as plain ADTs (that is, a tagged union). The tighter types make it possible to remove some unused branches in pattern matching, so you may remove a few tests, but memory-wise it should be the same.
Interesting the level of response this set of peaceful protest actions has garnered, when compared to previous “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they do outsource some of those things. For example, they probably use ADP or similar for payroll. And they probably use outside production companies and trainers for their videos. But you still need internal people to manage vendors and deal with problems and people to manage those people.

It's a pretty common reaction to scratch your head and wonder what all those people in $DEPARTMENT are doing all day. Some of them are probably wondering the same thing about your department.
That seems like a feature request, not a bug, to me.
I think my issue is that there shouldn't be a need for this proliferation of compositors. Wlroots is making that slightly less ridiculous, but wlroots itself is mostly necessary because nobody has bothered creating a WM extension for the Wayland protocol.

I'm not excited. There's no reason we should need dozens of compositors that are mostly identical apart from code that could easily live in a separate process.

That wlroots is getting better at making it easier to build a compositor is a poor bandaid from just removing the need to build a compositor at all.

It's one of many examples of Wayland throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Game Play: maybe you want it this way, but the animations are an impediment to gameplay. I like to type the words, and in a timed situation, typing quickly should be an asset to the player. The animations make good players worse, even on first guesses before you slow the animations. I like slowing the player after multiple bad guesses, but don't hamstring us from the start.

Word Lists: far too many plurals. Especially in the games you rate as more challenging, plurals render the game dull. There are plenty of interesting and difficult 5-letter patterns in English that make this type of game better.

Stars: this seems like an afterthought. I had done four or five of these puzzles before I realized what the mechanism for the stars was. Even when the summary screen showed that I finished with x number of stars, I really only cared about how quickly I was able to complete the puzzle. It is good that time is the overall measure in your game, but I found that I cared very little about stars in the end.

Overall a nice iteration on the Scrabble/Boggle/Wordle paradigm.

I don't think this one is done, and I think it's undesirable

We use bower and npm for our project. Every couple of months github is under attack by a DDoS or not working correctly leaving us with broken deploy scripts. What is the best way to fix this? We don't like the idea of commiting the node_modules or bower_components folder. Is there a tool which will cache the npm and bower sources so they only have to be downloaded if something changes?
There is something very unclear to me regarding the usage of the cloud drive for kindle related stuff. I mean, until now every ebook I purchased on amazon was available on amazon cloud. Also, they offered this option to documents you sent to your device by email. How is this new cloud drive going to affect me ? They already told me in the email that the current 5 GB plan is no longer available and has been replaced with a free 3-month trial of one of the Unlimited plans. The existing documents are available to download and view but if I want to upload new files I must select one of the Unlimited plans. So no more cloud storage for kindle (of course, unless I choose to pay according to new plans) ?
