This was insightful for me:

""Congress, initially as part of the War on Drugs but later expanded to include most federal offenses, criminalized almost every financial transaction that flows from funds that are the proceeds of ‘specified unlawful activity,’" Bruce Maloy, an Atlanta-based attorney and an expert in US extradition law, told Ars by e-mail.

"In simplest terms, if you possess funds from a crime and do anything with the money other than bury it in the ground or hide it under the mattress, you have committed a new crime. Spending the money is a new crime, opening a bank account is a new crime. These expenditures do not have to be in furtherance of the original crime, but my recollection is that here it alleged that they are. In short, throwing in a money laundering allegation is quite common in US federal indictments."

Page Pate, another Atlanta-based defense lawyer who has also worked on international extradition cases, agreed. "It's almost automatic to add money laundering charges to any offense whether it's drug-related or not," he said. "I haven't seen it that often in criminal copyright cases. The US has been very aggressive in adding money laundering and forfeiture in criminal cases.""

Ain't it great, War on Drugs?
I started with QBasic too, and later on Delphi, dragging and dropping components on a window to create GUI programs. Nowadays you can get Lazarus for free.

There's also NetBeans, KDevelop, Komodo, Virtual Studio Express, Xojo, and more. It depends what you want to do.

And if you're on a Mac, I'd go with Xcode+Swift. Great language for beginners.
> Technology people are without a doubt the most inept group when it comes to negotiating for compensation.

I would rephrase it as:

People that love what they do are without a doubt the most inept group when it comes to negotiating for compensation.

I think it doesn't matter if you are from IT, an architect or any other job. If you really like what you do, you don't mind to do it for minimal money and business people will exploit that weakness. For example, in architectural field, relevant architects are sometimes invited to be guest teachers in colleges. Once one said during his class:

If they discover that I like to come here, they will stop paying me.
China's "education inflation" problem is not like ours. The problem in China: it's an underdeveloped economy. This may change in 20 years-- I think everyone in the world hopes it does-- but right now, there are so few middle-class jobs available in countries like China, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The competition is incredibly tight and (as anywhere else) mostly on socioeconomic status and connections, not education.

Our problem is different: technology and the national job market have created The Résumé Blizzard. The cost of sending a CV to an employer has dropped from about $1 (today's dollars) in postage, nice paper, and printing, to $ε in electron-pushing. Most HN posters are relatively successful in their careers and probably send out 3-5 CVs per job search, but there are unqualified lottery-players who send out hundreds or thousands. Front doors don't work anymore-- "closed till the Blizzard ends"-- and colleges and universities now provide a very expensive sorting mechanism for entry-level jobs. The truth is that job-matching is a difficult unsolved problem that no one has solved very well, and the universities and business schools are, at the entry level, the best solution.
And people are misunderstood all the time. You'll read in to it whatever you want to, but it won't change the way I feel when I say it. It's your job, as the listener, to judge the way I mean it. The simple fact that I have said it doesn't make it one way or the other. Those who are adept at these types of judgements are the ones who move deals forward. Those who cannot get stuck in a cycle misinterpretation that results in a failure to negotiate an agreement.
How can you offer a draw?
Direct reclaim shines again!
A more accurate translation of the commandment would be "you shall not murder." Conservative Judaism is also pretty big into the military, and pretty much every major religion makes a distinction between murder and justified killing.

e: Just to be more clear, this isn't me coming up with my own justification. The Hebrew word "ratsakh" used in the commandment specifically refers to murder or manslaughter and isn't used in the context of killing in war.

Even if we view it that way, there was no bug in bitcoin.
This is fantastic! How long did it take to put together? (also... ya, might want to move to a different domain).
The opt-out does seem to be preserved after an upgrade. I had it off, ran the upgrade, and checked with `brew analytics`.
For the keyboard, a random question... does anyone know a real laptop keyboard that's available for general purchase and includes a datasheet on how to interface it? I don't really want to go to the length OP did and build a keyboard from individual switches.
FWIW providing you have the kernel and firmware basically everything can be built from source.

I've built most of the base repository of Arch Linux on my RPi4 without cross compiling. I'm buying a few more so that I can go 'full Gentoo' and pretty much rebuild the world.

Have a recording of a container booting from a rebuilt userland:
https://asciinema.org/a/283303

It might feel like the ARM packages are somehow special but really only the blobby bits like the RPi firmware is. Everything else is just your bog standard armv7/aarch64 ELF.

So yeah, back up a GCC binary or bootstrap, I guess? I can probably email you a tmux binary in a pinch, plus I have a full local mirror of the repo for the apocalypse? :P
It's going to cost us trillions more if we keep doing nothing so it's actually a savings.
if you're in eu-central-1, seems a bit weird to use PST for the timeline? edit: seems like this matches what AWS publishes. it's still weird to not use the appropriate local timezone or UTC

It's a model used to simplify the world around us and, as with all models, it's wrong but useful. When you over-apply the model, it stops being useful.
How so? Their code isn’t up-to-date at all.

Top-notch UI/UX in a backend-as-a-service.

The new $49/m plan is a step when you outgrow the Hobby plan, not having to go straight to "enterprise-level"

I haven't had any issue with support either.

Keep adding features, you're on the right path. :)
The reasons why these don't work go much belong policy. Let's say that you're trying to advertise city social services in a subway ad campaign; how in the world do you get people to go to just "nyc" as the domain name? I guarantee you most of them will end up just performing a search on "nyc". It simply doesn't work. When you put nyc.gov as the domain name, everyone knows what that is and how to navigate to it.

Secondly, we have the expectation that subdomains of a given domain are run by the same entity, and represent natural semantic subdivisions. E.g. there's google.com, the over-arching website for all of Google and its first major product, and then for its other major products there's maps.google.com, mail.google.com, docs.google.com, etc.

This doesn't work with nyc, because subdomains of nyc are actually registrable domain names all their own that are controlled by other entities. So you can't have nyc be the overarching website for NYC, and then have parks.nyc, housing.nyc, business.nyc, etc., as natural subdivisions of it, because other people can own those domain names! So now you have no great way to subdivide up your site, and other people's sites are easily confusable as yours.

The only real way to do a dotless root DNS website is if you control the entire TLD; it has to be closed and not open to registration by external parties.
Congrats, awesome tech from talented and nice guys!
For organizations like that one I was associated with who had been tax exempt for 40+ years, yes, relatively recently.

He picked the ones that seemed most dangerous to him, and they are all harmless. (But I haven't checked if there are others.)

Don't forget these chemicals are injected deep underground, so unlike lighter-than-air methane they won't easily get to water.

More people giving less money means less pressure for deliverables, and less pressure from a single large entity. He wants to do what he wants to do because he wants it, and as a bonus get paid for it. He's not doing it primarily to make money. That's the way I take it at least.
There's gotta be a simple, legal workaround to require franchising. Here's how I could see it happening:

1. Create Company X.

2. Sell exclusive USA franchising rights to Company X.

3. Acquire Company X, rename the new subsidiary as 'Tesla Franchising'.

4. ???

5. Profit

Edit: Thanks for the unwarranted down vote without a comment... I didn't know that big oil is trolling HN now.

From the article, they're already doing this with their service departments:

Customers in need of warranty service must call the Tesla Service to speak to someone at Tesla Motors in California. Based on their over-the-phone explanation, a Tesla Service employee determines whether repair work is needed/warranted. If so, the customer is sent to have the work sub-contracted by a local subsidiary, Tesla Motors TX. The local repair centers – currently in Austin and Houston – cannot advertise that they do warranty repairs nor can they discuss any additional repair needs or concerns with the customer. Tesla Motors TX then bills Texas Motors, Inc. for the work. If customers have additional warranty concerns, Tesla Motors TX cannot discuss them with the customer – the customer would need to call Tesla Motors, Inc. back and go through the process again.
By "union" you mean the lobbyists of the Texas Automobile Dealers Association right?

I've never heard of lobbying arms being referred to as "unions"
The CRA (like the IRS) will make your life a living hell if you do not file properly

If you don't file at all, sure. If you make the occasional mistake? Not really a problem -- the CRA just phones up and asks you to clarify the situation. I've had my tax returns fixed this way several times, without any penalties or even paperwork required.
Yeah - OSM goes a long way in categorizing different levels of "area in which people live" based on population density.

The dealerships in Texas don't really care about Tesla, they're just afraid that other car manufacturers will follow suit and undercut their business model.
It depends on the product. We didn't have many resources when I was writing code for barcode readers so we had an informal arrangement whereby one person wrote the code and two people reviewed it. For my mobile (cell phone) base station code, we had formal review meetings with the programming team, project manager and, when he had time, the VP of R&D.

The most strict of all was when I was writing code for an air traffic control system. Every single line of my code was reviewed a minimum of three times. We spent almost as much time reviewing the code as we did writing it.
If you have something like an Nvidia Shield tablet, you can basically do this. Bonus, it has a stylus so you can use it as a drawing tablet.

Many Muslim jurists consider dogs to be ritually unclean. (najis)[29] However, "jurists from the Sunni Maliki School disagree with the idea that dogs are unclean."[30] Individual fatāwā ("rulings") have indicated that dogs be treated kindly or otherwise released[31] and earlier Islamic literature often portrayed dogs as symbols of highly esteemed virtues such as self-sacrifice and loyalty, which, in the hands of despotic and unjust rulers, become oppressive instruments.[29]

Abou El Fadl "found it hard to believe that the same God who created such companionable creatures would have his prophet declare them 'unclean', stating that animosity towards dogs "reflected views far more consistent with pre-Islamic Arab customs and attitudes".[32] Furthermore, "he found that a hadith from one of the most trustworthy sources tells how the Prophet himself had prayed in the presence of his playfully cavorting dogs.

The active version of this attack is totally worrying (deduplication between multiple user accounts, alice and eve).

But the passive version above requires a privileged network position as well as an unrealistically good idea about what was in the original backup. I agree it's a weakness, but i'm not sure it's a cause for concern

You might equally say something like "the amount of time taken to backup is a timing side-channel into the size of the deduplication cache", it's true but i don't think it immediately lead to any practical attacks.

Can you elaborate on a scenario?
The AppleTV lets you use your iPhone as a remote. I always reach for the physical remote first. The phone remote is just a huge pain — the physical remote just works.
I hope this new all EV vehicle has a kick ass screen / tech stack system.

So many of their older ones are slow / janky etc. Carplay is a godsend on their other vehicles.

I'm assuming buttery smooth ipad like experience with great touch screen - can anyone confirm this? Burned too many times to trust the marketing vids.
Could be a tapir? From the side it looks 3 toed
I actually turned my watxh history off altogether. For a couple of years I only got recommendations for stuff directly related to videos that I clicked Like on (mixed in with stuff I'd already watched, which is expected since I have no watch history), and I manually curated everything with the Not Interested button. But lately YT has beem recommending utter trash that is not relevant to me in any way.
That's different on so many levels. The photos you take are unique. The music you bought are not. They are produced by someone else. I personally have no qualms when Apple replaced my ripped MP3s with a DRM-free version from the iTunes Store.
Are you able to stand in the van? If not, that's going to be problematic, I think.
Yeah i know, but NVENC is based on CUDA, that is, it doesn't interact with the GPU (NVIDIA in that case) directly, it works with CUDA library. So if Zluda is a CUDA compatibility layer for Intel GPUs, why not?
Google Chrome's original logo was so amazing. So detailed and intricate. I used to wonder if it is a Pokéball.
If you're into that kind of thing, I highly recommend William T. Vollmann's Imperial.
People whose value lies in coordination often need to dabble in multiple fields. Think of a technical artist in a game company.
The boundary where the XML ends and the DSL begins is at least a little arbitrary, but it does have important ramifications. By using XML, you can use the XPath query language to index down to a `path` (the end of the XML), but not within a `path` (the beginning of the DSL). That means, at least conceptually, you can attach colors, and events, and such to a path. And the fact that you cannot do it within a path (not without introducing a query language for the DSL) is inelegant, but also might not have much bearing in 99% of applications.
Came here to say this. Coding is one part of the job but mostly what I get paid to do is solve problems. I've worked on projects that were more process oriented and produced zero code whatsoever and still had the sort of outcomes good software does.

The vast majority of my job, outside of writing efficient and secure code, is learning about other systems and domains. Software Engineers can be employed in anything from financial technology to healthcare to kids toys. You're going to have to step outside of your depth a lot and at least having some shallow platform to stand on is imperative.
The reasons and culture vary. Finns go hunting, Americans going to a gun range is a sport. And most of those finnish guns are probably decades old and long out of use.
Planted also doesn't mean 'survived'. You plant these trees among disturbed soil and broken branches. The trees left behind are supposed to harbor species that will repopulate, but those species are used to the water levels and shade of the closed canopy, and now they're in the middle of a hellscape that won't recover for decades, only to be chopped down again.

Even if the trees are fit for the local ecology, they're now in a very bad microbiome and not all will make it.
Inflation is a red herring metric for assessing a UBI. Pretty much all the major schools of economic thought agree that under the current financial market regulation inflation is an overall policy position by government separate from any one specific policy. If UBI pushes inflation up, changes elsewhere can push it down. And UBI is a policy to be implemented in context, the big idea is to gain efficiencies by cutting back on now-redundant welfare nets.

So the actual negative effect of a UBI, in theory, would be declines in real goods and services as resources are directed from economically productive to economically unproductive people. Devilishly difficult to measure.
I think all the great minds at google have a better chance than I do. Plus you were the one saying how unfair it would be for them to not invade people’s privacy in order to cash in. My point is that if they can’t operate without violating our human rights then they shouldn’t operate.
Can we get the ability to see what we've liked and where we've commented from our profiles please? I keep forgetting where I've commented and what that awsome article I liked was.

Also bug report. When I enter some characters in comments such as “ and ’ it goes a bit funny.
Cost/benefit at least, compared to respiratory protection and decontamination.
You don't think it makes sense that on the page for a paper, you can click an authors name and see their other papers? Or that you can see the revision history of a paper? Because both of those are supported by e.g. arXiv and not by Sci-Hub.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Sci-Hub. But if it was legal to operate, do you think it would be exactly the same as it is now, and that it would have no popular competitors/alternatives?
> It would be interesting to see any Haskell implementations that are competitive. I suspect that the very first thing you will do when trying to get performance is to ditch the functional paradigm and start writing code in an assembly-level monad.

Or teach the compiler about the algebra of arrays and matrices, so it can do the things to the code, that we'd write by hand.

E.g.

* http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~benl/papers/stencil/stencil-icfp...

* http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~benl/papers/repa/repa-icfp2010.p...

* http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/papers/stream-fusion.pdf

* http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/acc-cuda.pdf

In all these cases arrays codes are written in a function style, accompanied with special purpose optimizations and/or code generators (in the case of GPU code), layered over an imperative arrays primitive layer, using a memory effects monad.
Let's hope it never gets to that point :o
Well, I can't imagine SQL Server handling your requirements, and I find it unlikely a mission critical system like this will use MySQL or Postgres (primarily because Enterprises like to pay a lot for that 'security' of support), so I'd shoot for Sybase if its not Oracle?

The reason I ask is because I am a pretty highly skilled Oracle guy, and some of the numbers I have seen around financial systems just seem so fast and big volume transactions per second. Maybe I could get Oracle to do them, but then the zero downtime scares me somewhat as until very recently, keeping Oracle up all the time, even through application upgrades is fairly tricky!
Captchas are not outdated. They are good against brute-forcing password for example: 10 unsuccessful login attempts -> please use captcha. Since brute-forcing takes millions or tens of millions of attempts, it becomes uneconomical.

This is very much the likely scenario. The money is in further DLC. The existing GTAO engine is "done" from their perspective.

I'd guess also that the next version of the base engine is in RDR2 or later and doesn't have these issues. But at the same time they likely wouldn't backport the changes for fear of cost overruns.
Remember that this question is only relevant if you plan to go and work for your employer's direct competitor after your termination.

Do you anticipate working for a competitor after quitting or being fired in the following 12 months?

Part of the problem is that the non-compete is open-ended about who the competition is. Were it more specific or clearly defined the niche that is considered direct competition, I might have found it more palatable.

Instead, it is open-ended precisely for the purpose that it can be broadly interpreted as the Company deems appropriate.
We’ll probably grow that ratio quite a bit in the coming year or two but ownership is setup such that it shouldn’t be a proportional increase in our workload. K8s and some other tooling we use do make that considerably easier if your thread that needle right

20MB is still large in this case; we're talking about people who frequently use as their download host a phpBB forum with a 5MB download limit, and who usually manage to achieve sizes far less than that (usually ~150KB) because it's literally just CRUD + parsing + filesystem access + some layout XML for the dynamically-linked GUI toolkit to chew on.

Think: "would software pirates write their little keygen GUIs in this?"
If this is true, then I would guess that eventually it would have happened anyways. Automation is only going to get more effective, and the costs to automate can only go down. So at the most, all this could do is speed up adoption (but I still question if it really has or is just a scapegoat).
It’s sorta weird that you feel the intensity of emotion about this.

Maybe examine your feelings, is it jealousy or envy or something?
It is probably due that that phrase could be considered a negative commentary on CCP's take on human rights.
