I'd like to point out that I'm not "in the system" as it were. I'm not a lawyer, I just happen to have studied a bit of legal procedure in college and the Supreme Court in particular. Thus, I know the process and why one normally petitions them for a writ of certiorari simply because the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction over only some obscure types of cases and thus does not hear most cases.

> we're asking what the government should do with the funds before we know the result of the case

The converse is that we have two innocent people who have money frozen. One can pay for a lawyer, the other cannot.

If you find this is a Sixth Amendment violation, then isn't the Public Defenders office itself a violation? If that's the case, why are they not arguing that we cure that? The answer is that it wouldn't help them: they are able to afford a rather expensive lawyer. It's true that a full defense is expensive, but they're just causing themselves harm with an expensive Supreme Court appeal rather than saving the funds for the main defense. There are quite a few weird expenses involved there, not the least of which is the special booklets prepared for each justice and several other parties which have a large number of very exacting rules. Also, of note, is the fact that one can petition the Supreme Court 'in forma pauperis' and the Supremes will in fact pick up the tab for all that if you actually can't pay. They have accepted pro se applicants who were then provided representation for all the expensive formalities and such.

I think there is a good point that it's not at all fair that some people can get their own lawyer while others cannot. It would be better if that was fair for everyone, rather than rich people paying for better treatment.

Alas, that's not at all what petitioner is asking for. They're only interested in a rule that would help themselves here and that would encourage people who defrauded or robbed others to spend the stolen money first. So I steal all of your money and use it to pay for an expensive lawyer to get away with it, while poor but innocent people would have to rely on a state-appointed lawyer.
The biggest problem with the press (and why the internet and technology is 'eating' it) is that their business model is based in a world that doesn't really exist any more. The old school media offered a quick barrage of articles on a wide variety of topics. They didn't cover any one particularly well (just look at a newspaper article about a topic you're in a expert in if you want proof of that), but they did decently enough at informing people in an age where information was inconvenient or costly to otherwise get.

The internet changed that. For any important news, you can find better sources on social media, since people at the scene will probably now be posting photos and opinions about the goings on as they're happening, no reporter required. For timely news, social media and aggregator sites simply do better than journalists, since they don't have to worry about editors or proofing and there's a large crowd of people looking for stories at the same time (usually many times larger than the team in a professional newspaper).

And for more informative pieces, you can just go straight to the experts now. Whereas before you'd have a journalist approach an expert on say, information security, you can now just find an expert's blog or a relevant forum or subreddit instead. Bonus points for their words likely not being censored or altered or anything else.

And the fourth estate thing? Well, for better or worse, now that seems to be the legions of bloggers and amateur journalists online instead. The traditional media kind of gave up on that when most of the papers and news channels were bought by large companies.

You can try paywalls and subscriptions and patreon type systems all you like, I just suspect the old way of doing news simply cannot work in the internet era, and the traditional journalist is simply becoming obsolete.

For the article's question about how the relationship is supposed to work and what media built on newer platforms will be like... it'll be amateurs and companies reporting the news on their own.
They didn't ever have any money. They didn't lose any money. It was all paper valuations, and it's never money until you can buy beer with it; that's just part of investing. Does it suck? Sure, but it's part of the game.
There may not be much money for very long in selling marijuana yourself, but there are probably good "selling shovels to miners" opportunities in providing products and services to help people navigate the "weird" legal and regulatory environment. That environment will stay "weird" for a good long time, probably indefinitely, if regulations regarding other "sin" markets like cigarettes, alcohol, and gambling are any indication.
> If anything there should be whole slew of emails documenting this feature and its reasons for existence and who authorized this.

Email trails are easy to get rid of.

My company rolled out full disk encryption using TPM due to HIPAA concerns. Then we got a new email retention policy of 6 months after which emails were deleted because we were migrating from Lotus Notes to Exchange. We had a local archive option for people who wanted to retain emails older than 6 months. Then we got a hardware refresh where those archives were not automatically migrated to new hardware. Not that the new machines had Lotus Notes anyways. The IT Asset group was instructed to remove Hard drives from old hardware and wipe them because HIPAA. Even if they hadn't wiped the drives, they weren't documenting which drive came from which machine when they binned them so you wouldn't be able to decrypt the drive because TPM. Also they were removing asset tags from decommissioned machines as they prepared them for the reseller. 12 months later they reevaluated the email retention policy and decided to increate it 24 months.

Emails? What emails.
Wow, what a shame. I installed it before that happened, and it works great. It's now past sundown and my phone is orange at long last.

I guess now I'm stuck on iOS 9 if I want to keep this?

For anyone who wants apple to reconsider, the feedback page is the best place, unless you know someone inside apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

They actually pay more attention to feedback on that form than to other forms of complaint, rumour is.

edit: it seems that the app will expire in 90 days and need to be rebuilt. I'll hang onto their installer and hopefully that works.
> It's a different threat model to your other examples though. The pizza guy, the driver, the lady down the street, unless they know you and have something against you, they would want to target you with no apparent motive in your examples.

No obvious motive or relationship is needed, especially when mental illness is considered. It could be that some stranger who lives elsewhere is walking down your street and might be looking to mug someone.
ORNL? Maybe we could get lunch sometime, I've been curious about the computational climate stuff since I got here.
For a long time I had the bash fork bomb without any further explanation as my signature line on /, I'd just about forgotten about it when I got a really angry email from someone telling me that I'd blown up his server and thanks very much for that.

What kind of interest do you pay in the US for student loans, anyways?

Completely forgetting about your credit card debt, or even your mortgage, for any extended period of time sounds like an amazingly stupid decision. Ignore compound interest at your own peril.

There's no science here about brains if you were looking for some, as I was. The relevant part of the article (and aren't they always?) is in the last paragraph:

"We so often follow the lefts and rights that the GPS lady tells us without thinking about where we’re going," he says. "There’s something so alienating about this, like we’re not actually in the space. And it turns out this is a very powerful and absolutely essential part of brains that we’re losing. We need to do something to exercise it, and my maps can be a good place to start."

I actually agree with this but it appears to me as if the man is saying, "stop buying maps on your phone and start buying my maps instead".

He should be saying "make your own maps of your place and here's how".
Sure, but emails regarding possible illegal instructions from management would most likely end up being printed out and taken off-site. It also will look very bad if VW decided say last week to suddenly revamp their email infrastructure resulting in massive data-loss. If they had those emails a few weeks ago, they still have them. If they saw this coming long ago they may have found a plausible way to get rid of them.
> I don't understand why advocate against it, which people are actually doing in this thread.

Because cycle helmets cost money which could be better spent on just about anything. Because they reduce the number of cyclists (which is the worst possible thing to do if one wants to make cycling safer). Because they look stupid. Because forcing people to wear them is flat-out illiberal and hence wrong.

> It's like advocating against the seat belt.

I wear my seat belt, but I advocate against seat belt laws.

> Is it really terrible that people have to wear a helmet?

Yes.

> I'm not shedding any tears over people who claim they will stop biking because helmets ruin their hair. It's simply a basic preservation of health.

Do you wear a walking helmet and a driving helmet too? Have you installed non-skid in your bathtub? Statistically, those measures are more effective than a cycling helmet.
Anyone who thinks a plant has agency, and can "try" anything, has been smoking something.
Not quite. Here in Australia we have feral pigs, feral cats, wild rabbits and wild horses (brumbies). All of them started as domesticated animals. And even in this harsh climate they are doing pretty well.
Once you leave you are on a very small list and you no longer have any legal protections from perpetual US surveillance and potential harassment. Will you eventually be bulk added to some no trade or no fly list? A life is 20 presidents, each with a need to look tough and place blame on scapegoats like those anti-patriots abroad.

Further, that process requires a legal proceeding with the US to investigate you for potential liabilities that is now paid for by you.

The idea of citizenship is not representative of anyone's rights in the US, which is made all the clearer by the new renunciation terms. The US could switch to the british term subject since every US person is at a minimum a subject of investigation. :)
That is interesting. In my case, I was on two courses of antibiotics (a 7-day course and a 10-day course) during which I did not see improvement or use probiotics.

It's only when I started the 30-day course that my doctor told me about probiotics. I started the probiotics at the same time as the 30-day course and saw immediate improvement.

Perhaps my problems were caused by a lack of beneficial bacteria while your troubles were caused by some type of infection? Or maybe it was only the 3rd antibiotic that cleared something out of my system?
Yeah, there's a market for consulting and compliance work because it will at the very minimum be regulated, but again - there are huge companies that already do a lot of this work, and once the legal status is cleared up a little more, they'll just expand their existing practices and maybe buy a few boutique companies for their client lists. I'm thinking Big 4 audit / accounting firms here, because that type of compliance work is right up their alley.
I for one, appreciate the attempt at civility, bro.
Once again, representation is not defense.

Your sense of justice is ill-placed. The court system is a machine deliberately engineered to destroy lives. It offers no real justice, only political scapegoating. Stripping away the ability of individuals to fight the system in the name of rectifying inequality is a net loss to all of us.

Fiverrs advantage is that their operation is fairly simple without a lot of moving parts. I can understand a company like uber needing capital but a marketplace isn't that complex to create or run.

> GUI text editors

Emacs is a GUI text editor too, btw.

I can be wrong, but my impression was the opposite - all the new tutorials I saw recommended one or another starter pack with all the bells and whistles out of the box.

> while browsing the web and writing documents

I'm not sure if a proportion of users who write documents in a specialised software (like Word) is significant enough. And web browsing is largely clicking, no hot keys are used in general, so no habits to be picked up.

Another thing to consider is that now more and more users are coming from mobile platforms, without any desktop exposure whatsoever. For them, any desktop conventions are equally alien.

> As the UK's politicians continue to fail to understand what "strong cryptography" or "banning" even mean, I thought I would have a look at how simple strong cryptography can be.

Not that I think it's a good idea or believe they have a good understanding of cryptography but: if they are being rational about it, I'm guessing they think making strong cryptography less convenient will lead to less encrypted communications between parties they're interesting in snooping on. In this case, WhatsApp would be a considerably more convenient to use than using DOSBox.
Delivery businesses in general are hard to make a buck in. Most of the ones currently operating are only successful because they either charge sky-high delivery fees or they're operating at a loss to gain market share. It's not like hiring people to deliver things is a new concept.

What is an algorithm in your definition?

If it includes where and how to place the trades (a smart order router) I would say 99% of trades are managed by an Algo. Also there are the "dumb" VWAP, POV, TWAP algos which represent the bulk of "smart" buyside money as internally most firms use vwap as benchmark.

The bulk of retail orders in the US are on the other side of an algo from citadel, knight or citi. And often buying 100 shares of MSFT at market only really needs a decent SOR to provide BestEx.

Block trading still often gets fed to VWAP algos unless the stock is illiquid.

Finally the most interesting execution algos (implementation shortfall algos) are hard to explain and only statistically outperform.

If you are talking about actual investing - the first question is which asset class in which to park your money. If you can get an algo to do that (like Renaissance) you will be rich.

"The best apple you’ve never had is out there."

Best apple I ever had was picked off a backyard tree in apple growing area about 40km outside Melbourne. It was an old variety, small with the colouring of a Jonathon. The first bite revealed pure white flesh with a translucent core. A snow apple the locals called them. Spoils every apple I've eaten since.
What do you mean by this "The real people getting screwed by these paper unicorns though are the late stage employees being sold options as compensation"?

When my little pea brain gets confused, I remember the Jimmy Buffet song "Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude", meaning that when one travels south to the tropical islands (or at least Key West) Buffet often sings about one's attitude changes. And since Buffet is singing about north/south differences, latitude must...oh, never mind, it's not so simple when I write it out. I really do use that to remember, though.
I gotta say I certainly agree with this sentiment. I'm not sure about this particular company's new direction change but over the years I've found you can get far more interaction with people if you can integrate directly into their favorite products versus offering something separate. This is also why I'm excited to see more opportunities of integration in newer versions of Android and iOS (specifically Siri / Google Now). I only wish they were a bit more open (one of the main reasons I started a side project, simulated.io, to let anyone integrate into an artificial assistant though I still don't have my MVP out so it's still technically vaporware).

Would you try to open a business to compete with Walmart or McDonalds? There's definitely profit potential in marijuana, but there's not a lot of opportunity for startups. Every piece of the marijuana market is adjacent to some other hundred billion dollar market, and the major players there will just slide over and crush the challengers with their operational / financial scale.
Microsoft Research has RSDEs ... research software design engineers. IBM Research also has a research software engineer position, with its own career progression track. These folks are generally fantastic developers who have been professional software engineers some point in their careers. Moreover, I have never personally seen a case where a research engineer was not put on a paper for being just a coder.

It is problematic when a team of scientists collaborate with a product group (not research software engineers but regular developers). In the limited projects I've been involved in, we ask if any product group engineer wants to collaborate on a paper we are writing. No one is typically interested and we would at least add them to acknowledgements. I found product group developers were interested in collaborating for patent submissions. I definitely don't want to generalize but take this as a data point.

This would be true if all strains of marijuana contained the same levels of cannabinoids, flavor, appearance, combustion rate etc. I think a big one will be balancing Cannabidiol (CBD) levels with Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to produce a more relaxed, less paranoid and happier strain. Given the varying affects on different humans due to different neurological makeups, there might even be a market for optimizing levels for individual humans both for medical and recreational purposes.
Well, IMO it's less about bureaucracy than it is saying "just because we've created these artificial divisions between development and ops doesn't mean our customers will be understanding when stuff goes wrong". Operational silos lead to poor customer experiences, and devops is one way to try to break them down.
The "...without thinking about where we’re going," part does not apply to everyone. I for one am very uncomfortable not knowing where I am oriented map-wise in an unfamiliar place. Sure to get from the airport to the hotel I'll follow turn by turn directions because it's the only practical thing to do when you're also driving a car on the interstate. But prior to the drive and many times after, I familiarize myself with the map and my place on it because for me it's simply unnerving not to.
Yes, the UK gov argument is basically "You can keep your PGP, just run Gmail, Facebook, Skype, etc over HTTP - or at least let us automatically remove the HTTPS encryption for anyone we want in real-time".

They want it this way because:

1) many people will indeed slip when using whatever left is there of "strong encryption" afterwards, especially if it's hard to use - that's pretty good for the UK gov.

2) while they may care about terrorists and whatnot, they care at least as much about spying on many of the people who will never use PGP or even Signal, so again this plan is perfect for them in this regard.

Agreed, I was just curious since some of the comments below seemed to imply that PhDs / PostDocs lack certain software development skills (although I personally haven't seen this).
