Single-elevator control and group control are usually separate. In many systems, the group controller's authority is limited to remotely pushing the buttons in each elevator in each elevator. Thus, the group controller has no safety responsibilities.

All the hall calls (from the buttons outside the elevator) go to the group controller, which controls dispatch policy. Early systems, such as the Otis Autotronic, used analog computer components to set dispatch policy. The newest ones use machine learning.

If you set an elevator to "independent service" (this is a key switch in most elevators) it disconnects from the group controller and only obeys its own cab buttons. This is used when you need a service elevator, but not often enough to have a dedicated one. The group controller is not necessary for basic elevator operation.
Also rather low numbers if you want statistically significant results.
Every software that's widely used and isn't a crap gimmick is written in C/C++.

Android/Linux is mostly C. Google Search-C++. Web browsers-C++. Java VM is a c++ program. Games-C++.

The only place Java/Ruby/Python/etc has a foot hold is in websites providing crap gimmics that are just wrappers over C/C++ programs. Like uploading a photo or tweet, just providing some glue over all the C/C++ programs that actually do the work.

I've had two Cree brand LED bulbs melt apart and blow fire. I was glad to be around so I could get them shut down. And a little terrier afterwords of what could have happened. I've had at least three Walmart brand LED bulbs that have lasted less than a couple months. (No fires though!)

Surely I'm not the only one seeing this kind of failure rate?

I'm making a personal collection of the failed LED bulbs for future purchasing decision....
Is the code available for it by any chance?
'Maximum' heart rate is an urban myth. It's a calculated expected maximum which many people can go above. It's like the speed of a car, rather than the RPM with its redline failure meltdown.

Various things affect HR, for example race-day HR is usually 10BPM higher than normal. For this reason HR is more of a helpful secondary metric for an sport with 'real' metrics like speed/distance/weight.

Did the fitbit put her at risk? Only if she ignored all other signs of overexertion or danger, like chest pains, dizzyness, pounding heart beats, etc.
There's no good reason for them to call it 4.0 instead of 3.10.

But it doesn't really, it is just another tool to learn like your configuration management software. Honestly, learning Docker to a high level was WAY easier than getting my Chef knowledge to a mediocre level. Further, it has other benefits like being MUCH easier to set up well isolated dev environments with Docker than with Chef. Since we switched we can usually have someone running the dev environment and tests within an hour or so of unboxing their laptop. With chef running the whole thing from scratch took that long by itself (after you installed all the software) and usually failed. And the idea that it is too complicated for something simple- I built a sample blogging app that you can deploy to a digital ocean or ec2 machine with like 3 or 4 commands (https://github.com/pbecotte/devblog). The system we have built at work has 8 separate services between a bunch of data stores, background workers, and a couple different pieces of our app- but Docker allows you to run the entire environment on your local machine and then deploy that same setup to our cluster, without any differences to account for making all those apps run on one VM for your local environment (which can get bad when one service requires a different version of a ruby gem than another for example).

IBM kind of claims that their subsidiary was more or less nationalized during the Nazi period. [1] However squishy and self-serving that claim is, Cisco doesn't even have that defense. War and human rights were going through a discovery period from WWI through the 1970's. In the 2000's there's not really an excuse for not scrutinizing what your products will be used for around the world.
It is understandable. With the risen trend of phone and tablet. Even some server can run on clould.

Most gift card generators are scams and usually contain a virus.

Amazon stores their gift card codes on their server, and does not tell the world how they create the codes. The gift code is nothing until it is activated at the store and the store sends to Amazon the amount on the gift card code.

There is no way to generate gift card codes unless you hack Amazon's servers to get them, and Amazon has good security. Even if you do steal gift card codes they need to be activated with a dollar amount on them so you'd need access to a store that can activate cards and put a dollar amount on them and send it back to Amazon.
I've used both Xiaomi's box[1] and LeTv's[2]. Both are quite nice hardware at rather amazing price points (299CNY/44USD and 290CNY/44USD, respectively). They are more or less intended to be disposable and don't get much in the way of software updates (though they work fine for their intended purpose), but there's a vibrant community that has released alternate ROMs.

I luckily have not fallen into that habit. I am saying that our cross-team repositories have many of those commits because we don't value feature branches enough.
They don't, but they've been getting hit hard from both domestic and international rightsholders. There's also been a push against IPTV services offering foreign content/live channels on 'national security' grounds in recent months, and quite a few companies have disappeared or gone deep underground.

The big players—LeTv, Tencent—have been fairly diligent about getting proper licenses for content over the last year or so. LeTv just scored rights to the Premier League, for example.

San Francisco is largely made up of renters (63%) and planning decisions are made by the City of San Francisco, not individual neighborhoods. The problem you describe exists in small communities where the neighborhood is de facto a jurisdiction. Like Brisbane, right south of SF. In San Francisco, NIMBY homeowner are actually a minority playing against the interests of the majority of the citizens of this city.

Now there are several causes for this. A major one is concentrated harm vs distributed benefits for specific development. A new development in a residential neighborhood is gonna piss off a small number of people and motivate them to organize to put pressure on the planning commission. This development would benefit pretty much everyone else, but in a way that is so distributed that it's really hard to motivate people to fight for it. A new development is gonna have a very concentrated impact on neighbors and a very diluted effect on the rest of the city.

Why?

It doesn't cover any of the functionality that JSPM provides and publishing modules as RPM only makes them available to (at most) 1%-2% of users.

IBM did that work before the 1980 Filartiga v. Pena-Irala case, which is what enables the remedy being sought in this case. In the former case, those injuries are a part of history, whereas in the latter case they are on-going so it's also a question of standing.
I wonder if some kind of trust arrangement in the original IP license could accommodate this.

ie: At the end of this licensure period, $publisher may make technical game material available for use. These materials do not extend a license etc etc. $publisher may not charge for, etc etc.

Most of the time, these old games will have small user bases, and if not, the licensor should be able to exploit that in some way.

With rhetoric like that and actions backed by such rhetoric you will make Saudi Arabia into a prime candidate for ISIS takeover after a power vacuum of ridding the region of Islam.

Muslims in general are mercurial. And not all people in the region have the same social attitudes. The whole point is to enable secuarlists while disabling orthodoxy. That's not done through such violent rhetoric.

America has not been following this policy of backing up the secularists and disabling the orthodoxy. Instead, it has used the orthodoxy for its own political/geopolitical games, and as a result empowered them in the whole region. It empowered the Saudis to essentially spew Islamist literature all over the world, at times coordinated with them to do so for instance in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets.

The West has further been giving refuge and a platform to the orthodoxy and basically leaving them alone to concoct plans to overthrow governments as is the case in Iran. Even now there are many Islamists sitting comfortably in America and Britain preaching hatred, religion, and orthodoxy and nothing is done to curtail this.

In fact the West totally does not know how to spread secular, Western values other than to bomb countries and help them achieve Capitalist objectives. Instead of using its covert apparatus to espouse good values, it instead uses it for other purposes to increase its power and its influence often at the cost of humanism and secular values.
Really? Which mobile device?

Because I simply _cannot_ get much mileage out of my iphone 6s, most certainly I could not do my HN commenting (I can type ~80wpm on my laptop, and maybe ~10wpm on my phone). Plus, the screen is too small (I browse HN 200% zoomed in on my 1080p res screen... zooming on small phone screens is a pain, but easy to do on Google Chrome).

I feel like I'm missing something maybe. Other people are doing work on their smartphones, I just can't.

It depends on what you want to do. If you want to get a pro job then it takes a lot more time investment then a hobby.

I started out in the same tech stack and have been doing this since late 2000s. TBH, a modern web framework with a js frontend is overkill for a hobby project. If you want to mess around with just the front end, start with a hackable static site generator like http://spress.yosymfony.com/ Hack the templates and you can get a good starting place for how much has changed on the front end.

Learning WordPress templating is another good hobby kind of place to start. Actually, if you get really good with that, you can probably turn it into a job on its own (though less money than more full stack type work).

If you were wanting a career change, you need to learn just enough of one backend framework and just enough from a frontend framework to land an entry job. Then learn everything you can from reading someone else's code. There is no project that you can do on your own that would teach you the entire stack as quickly and you'd get paid to learn it.

CL performs a decent, two-way anonymization. When you reply to a listing's anonymized e-mail, your own e-mail address is anonymized (just not your name, which I think comes from your From: header or SMTP envelope address? In any case, you control that).

Furthermore, the originating SMTP paths are mutually concealed by CL. You don't see how the mail arrived into CL, just how it came from CL to you; i.e. it's completely remailed.

Lastly, even the Message-ID is rewritten. The originator's message ID could contain clues about the mail domain and such; CL replaces it with their own.

Quite probably, they strip away the signatures from bodies as well; those could inadvertently leak identity bits.

[Source: I searched my inbox for some CL interactions, several years old, and examined the headers.]

I never said it was a replacement. I wholeheartedly agree that backups are indispensable, but when dealing with drive failure, I'd rather just swap out a drive and not have to deal with restoring from backups. I find backups are good for fine grained laser focused restores—trying to restore an entire drive is either slow, or error prone, especially if one deals with hard links a lot.

Access tokens are a 'manageable' risk and AWS provides tools to enforce best practices where necessary.

Locating and regularly patching security vulnerabilities across thousands of components in a fully-featured monolithic operating system isn't. It's a potential disaster waiting to happen.

You don't need...

...a huge bundle of drivers when the OS will always run on a VM.

...extensive filesystem support when everything will be either transient or run directly from memory.

...multiple users when only one is required.

...OS-level sandboxing (ie kernel/user-space) when the VM already provides sandboxing.

...native POSIX tools when 'safe' alternatives can be run from the VM.

Despite the best intentions of developers and admins alike, the current approach to security is not working. Despite my own vigilance, I have personally had my sensitive information leaked by two separate multi-billion dollar organizations in the past year.

It's a simple fact that every feature added, increases the attack surface of the entire system. All I'm suggesting, is that it's not a bad idea to start looking to the alternatives that are becoming available.
The moment I understood pointers, It felt like you discovered an entire world, tied by logic, pure as crystal. Learning C++ helped me a lot to understand oriented object programming and manual memory managing. Now, I am a web developer doing some JavaScript.

I think the weakest point of JavaScript online programming courses is the lack of algorithms. You end up to do a lot of DOM manipulations, apply some CSS and that's it you are ready to get a job. But you don't really know how to translate your mental concepts into code.
Mike Bostock Creator of D3.js – Reddit AMA
That's certainly true of servers, but it's way less important for the limited set of services a router typically provides. Aside from the services that really need root because they're changing system settings, you've pretty much got just dnsmasq and hostapd out of the box. Isolating them is nice if you've got the storage space for that extra complexity, but it's not like OpenWRT is a massive attack surface with gaping holes.
Why Bitcoin Can't Help the Poorest, Yet
A good case where this happened was with the Flash 2D "Crafting" MMO named "Glitch" created by the former Flickr founders. After the game terminated, they released all the art and source code to the public domain: https://www.glitchthegame.com/public-domain-game-art/

Because of it, two revival projects exist: Eleven (http://elevengiants.com/) and Children of Ur (http://childrenofur.com/).

I only played this game briefly when it was around and it didn't hold my interest for long, but it was a really unusual and quirky game. I'm sure the devs go into more detail somewhere why it failed, but it was likely because of bad timing-- it was a post-Farmville Flash game during the time when mobile gaming and HTML5 were really starting to kick off.
Islam in south-east asia seems a lot friendlier that islam in Saudi Arabia. Hell, islam in Saudi's neighboring states seems a lot friendlier, too. It's not just islam that is the cause of Saudi's human rights abuses.

I'm a strong atheist and generally agree with your sentiment, but Saudi's transgressions are not purely religion-based, otherwise we'd see them as strongly in other islamic nations.
